How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 152

The Red Bull on the Car, Misunderstood by the Freshmen—What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (1)

Yang Chen took Cheng Junjun to the second floor to eat.

“Don’t get involved in what happens next. Sleep at the hotel tonight and turn off your phone until 8 a.m. tomorrow,” Yang Chen reminded her.

Yang Chen was sure that Cheng Dalong and the others would contact Cheng Junjun to beg for mercy. To avoid putting her in a difficult position, it was better to turn off her phone and hide in the hotel for the night.

Cheng Junjun nodded and immediately turned off her phone.

After a while, Chen Yuyan called Yang Chen.

Yang Chen knew she must be calling to plead for Zhang Hailing, so after answering the phone, he said directly, “Auntie, don’t get involved in this. It involves hundreds of millions [of yuan]. It’s not something you can just dismiss with a word.”

The words Chen Yuyan was about to say caught in her throat, and then she asked, “Is there really that much money involved?”

“Yes! If you really investigate, there is that much. If you were me, would you give up hundreds of millions [of yuan] and not pursue it?” Yang Chen retorted.

Chen Yuyan quickly replied, “Then I would definitely pursue it. Alas… I understand. I guess Hailing’s efforts were all for nothing.”

“She can’t blame anyone else. With their family’s values, if the problem doesn’t happen today, it will happen tomorrow. It’s a family education problem, so they can’t blame others. Also, try not to get involved in their family’s affairs in the future. That Zhang Hailing has a big problem with her values, and she will definitely cause trouble down the line. Especially, tell Xiaofei not to associate with her closely, lest she be led astray. You don’t want Xiaofei to bring you back a son-in-law you can call ‘brother’ one day, do you?” Yang Chen said.

Chen Yuyan quickly said, “Of course not. If she ever did that, I’d break her legs and never let her go out again, so she wouldn’t embarrass me. Okay, I understand. You go ahead and do your thing. Xiaofei and I will stay at your place tonight.”

Yang Chen: “Okay.”

…

After lunch, Yang Chen booked a presidential suite for Cheng Junjun, and then went out to drive.

Around three o’clock, Yu Shishi called Yang Chen.

The acquisition contract for Binhai Import and Export Trading Company was ready, and it was just waiting for him and Zhou Hai to sign it to take effect.

The acquisition price was exactly 500 million [yuan]. After signing, Yang Chen needed to pay one-third of the amount, and then the contract would officially take effect. Yang Chen would have complete ownership of Binhai Import and Export Trading Company, and the remaining amount could be paid within three months.

Yang Chen now had over 100 million [yuan] in disposable funds in his account, so paying one-third wasn’t difficult.

Yang Chen drove to Binhai Import and Export Trading Company and signed the acquisition agreement with Zhou Hai.

Yu Shishi took Yang Chen’s documents to the bank to handle the transfer and payment procedures.

Afterward, Yang Chen called Pu Chunhua to inform him that a shareholders’ meeting would be held at 3 p.m. tomorrow after the stock market closed.

Now they could discuss the acquisition of Hi-Buy Store No. 1 and Binhai Import and Export Trading Company by Longlian Supermarket Group.

Whether Longlian Supermarket could make a comeback depended on whether this wave of operations would be effective.

In the evening, Auntie and Xiaofei came to Yang Chen’s house.

Yu Shishi had already prepared a table full of dishes, and they started eating as soon as they arrived.

This was also Yang Chen’s graduation banquet for his cousin.

Li Xiaofei: “Cousin, do you know how miserable my cousin [Zhang Hailing] is now?”

Yang Chen: “Miserable? I don’t think so. Isn’t she just asking for it?”

Li Xiaofei: “Well… I also think it’s a bit much for her to find a man older than my uncle for money. But seeing her crying so miserably now, I can’t bear it. She was so good when she was little, how could she become like this now? She’s especially good at pretending, and the key is that some of the things she pretends about are wrong, and she can even get some common sense issues wrong. I really don’t know what she studied abroad. Is Rosanski University that bad? How could they teach her like this?”

Chen Yuyan: “It’s good to know that she’s miserable now. You must never learn from her, or your mother might die of grief.”

Li Xiaofei: “Oh, I know. My cousin is so rich, if I don’t do well, I’ll come to him for help. I definitely won’t do this kind of thing for money. Besides, if I want something, my cousin will give it to me. Cousin, am I right?”

Yang Chen: “Haha… What you said makes sense. If you want something in the future and can’t afford it, just tell me and I’ll buy it for you. But you must never be tempted by others.”

Li Xiaofei: “Hehe… Cousin, you’re so nice. Mwah.”

Chen Yuyan rolled her eyes, but considering that her daughter would be going to school tomorrow to register, she wouldn’t argue with her tonight.

After dinner, Chen Yuyan started packing Li Xiaofei’s things, packing up all her personal items that she had been using here these days, and taking them to school to continue using.

While packing, Chen Yuyan told her daughter to get along well with her roommates at school, to help each other, and not just wait to enjoy the efforts of others, etc.

Li Xiaofei nodded quietly, and rarely didn’t argue with her mother.

Yang Chen got up early and carried his cousin’s luggage into the Cullinan [Rolls-Royce SUV].

After breakfast, Yang Chen drove Auntie and his cousin to the University of Finance and Economics.

Luckily, they arrived early, and there weren’t many cars at the school gate yet.

Yang Chen took a few packs of Huazi cigarettes [a popular brand of cigarettes in China] and threw them to the gatekeepers, Old Zhang and the others, and said loudly, “Hello, Uncle Zhang, long time no see.”

When Yang Chen was in school, he often drove Zhao Feifei out to play, and it was common for them to come back late at night, so he had to bother the gatekeepers to open the gate.

Over time, Yang Chen became familiar with them all.

“Yang Chen, long time no see. You… wow, you’re driving a Rolls-Royce!”

“I said back then that you would definitely be successful. Other students were driving Buicks, but you were driving a Rolls-Royce. Sure enough, it’s only been a little over a year since you graduated, and you’ve already changed to a big Rolls.”

“Are you here to send relatives to school?”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “My cousin from Suzhou is also admitted to our school. Please help me take care of her in the future, and don’t let anyone bully her.”

Old Zhang: “No problem! Girl, if anyone bullies you in the future, come directly to us, and we will definitely protect you.”

Li Xiaofei smiled and nodded, saying, “Thank you, uncles.”

Don’t underestimate these gatekeepers. Usually, campus security depends on them to maintain.

When Yang Chen was a sophomore, two classes had a fight, and these uncles rushed in with their bare hands and dispersed them.

Afterward, the school commended them, and the title of the Eight War Gods of the University of Finance and Economics was made famous by them. Since then, the security in the school has improved a lot.

So, from a purely security point of view, finding them is more reliable than finding a teacher.

Yang Chen parked the car and took out the luggage.

Li Xiaofei and her mother were busy taking selfies, completely ignoring Yang Chen.

Although it was already September, the weather was still hot.

Yang Chen took a bottle of Red Bull from the car refrigerator to refresh himself.

After taking two sips, Yang Chen casually put it on the hood and continued to take things out.

Yang Chen sighed speechlessly, “When I went to college, I came with a suitcase and a bag. How can she have so many things? If I open it now to see what’s inside, will Auntie misunderstand that I have any ideas about my cousin?”

Yang Chen muttered to himself as he took all the bags, big and small, out of the car.

Then, he carried the large and small bags to the welcome area.

Zhang Yang, the chairman of the student union, stood by with his hands behind his back, supervising the cannon fodder of the student union to welcome the new students.

“Why don’t you guys have any sense? There are freshmen over there. You should take the initiative to help them carry their luggage and let the parents see that the students in our school are very kind,” Zhang Yang instructed.

Several cannon fodder quickly nodded and went up to help carry the luggage.

A group of female students in the student union looked at Zhang Yang with admiration.

“Senior is so handsome!”

“So cool! So stylish!”

“I really want to be Senior’s girlfriend.”

…

There are many benefits to being the minister or chairman of the student union, one of which is having priority in choosing a partner.

When Yang Chen was the minister of the external relations department, Zhang Yang was one of his followers.

At that time, there were too many senior and junior girls confessing to Yang Chen, but because he had Zhao Feifei, Yang Chen rejected them all.

After a while, while he was directing the cannon fodder to work, he suddenly saw a familiar figure and immediately ran over.

“Brother Chen! It’s really you! I thought I was seeing things. Let me! Let me! Give it to me! Give it to me!” Zhang Yang took the luggage very diligently.

The female voices that were admiring Zhang Yang were instantly stunned.

What’s going on?

Why did the senior, who was still aloof and acting like a domineering president just now, suddenly become so humble?

Looking more closely, oh my god, that handsome guy is so handsome!

Oh no, this is the feeling of heartbeat.

Yang Chen handed the suitcase to Zhang Yang and said with a smile, “I saw you scolding people from a distance. You’re doing well now.”

Zhang Yang laughed and said, “Isn’t it all because you taught me well, Brother Chen? I followed your teachings and now I’m the chairman of the student union. Is this your sister?”

“Sister my ass! My girlfriend!” Yang Chen said.

If he said she was his sister, it would definitely attract a group of people to provoke her, and even Zhang Yang might have ideas about her.

Saying she was his girlfriend, Zhang Yang would definitely help keep an eye on her.

“Brother Chen, you’re awesome! Teach me later! I’ve learned all your other skills, but I can’t learn the skill of picking up girls,” Zhang Yang said.

“You’re already the chairman of the student union, aren’t there many junior girls confessing to you every day? Keep an eye on her for me in the future, and don’t let anyone harass her,” Yang Chen said.

Zhang Yang: “Brother Chen, don’t worry. As the chairman of the student union this year, I will definitely guarantee that my sister-in-law will not be harassed by anyone. Sister-in-law, my name is Zhang Yang, and I’m Brother Chen’s disciple. If you have any trouble in the future, just tell me directly. As long as it’s something within the school, I can solve it for my sister-in-law.”

Chen Yuyan and Li Xiaofei were both dumbfounded.

However, there must be a reason why Yang Chen said that on purpose. After all, he had been through this before.

Li Xiaofei quickly replied, “Okay! Then thank you in advance.”

Zhang Yang: “Sister-in-law, don’t say thank you. This is what I should do. Which major is sister-in-law in?”

Li Xiaofei: “Management Class 1.”

At this time, several boys came over to take the luggage.

Zhang Yang immediately scolded, “Get out! You go pick up the boys! Chen Xue, you guys come over and take my sister-in-law to the dormitory of Management Class 1.”

The female voices quickly ran over and took the luggage.

Zhang Yang: “Brother Chen, I won’t send you off. I still have to supervise them to work here. Let’s eat together later.”

Yang Chen: “You go ahead and do your thing. Work is important.”

Zhang Yang: “Okay. Chen Xue, you guys must send my sister-in-law to the dormitory and settle her down, and introduce her to the situation of the school in detail. Got it?”

Chen Xue and the others nodded.

Yang Chen followed them to the girls’ dormitory.

However, Yang Chen couldn’t enter the dormitory, so he said to Auntie and his cousin, “You two go in. I’ll go back first. I’ll pick up Auntie tonight.”

Chen Yuyan and Li Xiaofei smiled and nodded, because they were afraid of saying the wrong thing, neither of them spoke.

Yang Chen returned to the parking lot and saw a group of girls surrounding his car from a distance.

Some were putting on makeup, and some were taking pictures with the car.

What’s going on?

Yang Chen quickened his pace and walked over.

“Ladies, is there anything I can help you with?” Yang Chen asked.

“Is this your car?”

“So handsome!”

“You’re so handsome and you drive such a nice car, don’t you have a girlfriend?”

…

Yang Chen was confused, and smiled as he took out the key and pressed it.

The car beeped twice.

Confirming that it was Yang Chen’s car, the girls immediately surrounded him and quoted prices.

“600 [yuan] for the night, originally only a quickie, but seeing that you’re handsome, I’ll give you a discount.”

“I don’t want 600 [yuan], I just want you to drive this car and take me for a ride. I only want 300 [yuan] for the night. Spending a night with a man as handsome as you will definitely be unforgettable.”

“I don’t want money, but you have to drive this car and take me for a ride, and also take me to the Bulgari Hotel for dinner and accommodation.”

…

For the night?

What a joke?

Back then, it only cost ten yuan to spend the night in an internet cafe.

Now it’s changed to a so-called internet cafe, and it costs 600 [yuan] for the night?

And if you’re going to spend the night, why do you have to stay at the Bulgari Hotel?

“Thank you for the invitation, ladies, but I don’t need to spend the night,” Yang Chen said.

“Oh, I understand, a quickie is fine! It’s just the price of a quickie anyway.”

“I’m willing to give you a discount for the night at the price of a quickie because you’re handsome. Since you don’t want to spend the night, then a quickie is fine.”

…

I grass… [slang for “damn”]

Yang Chen finally understood what they meant by spending the night.

“Ladies, I think you may have some misunderstandings, I don’t need it,” Yang Chen said speechlessly.

A long-haired beauty took the Red Bull on the hood of the car and said, “Handsome guy, you’ve already offered the price yourself, why are you still pretending? We’re not bad either, are you being too picky? 600 yuan can only find someone like us.”

Yang Chen trembled and quickly said, “I felt hot just now, so I took two sips and forgot to take it off. Ladies, you’ve misunderstood, I don’t have that kind of need.”

This made the beauties unhappy.

“What do you mean? Are you playing with us? Just because you’re rich, you can play with others? That’s too much!”

“If you don’t need it, why did you put a bottle of Red Bull on the car? Don’t tell me you don’t know what that means?”

“Are you doing this on purpose? Do you have a camera on you, deliberately filming us to expose us?”

“Handsome guy, that’s not cool. We’re just working part-time to earn some living expenses, why are you messing with us?”

Yang Chen wanted to cry…

He didn’t expect the current junior girls to be so hardworking, having to earn money through physical labor for a living.

“Junior girls, don’t misunderstand. I’m a graduate of the University of Finance and Economics, I just graduated last year. I’m just here to send my cousin to school today. It’s too hot, so I took a sip of Red Bull and forgot to take it away. I’m sorry for causing everyone’s misunderstanding, but I’m definitely not the kind of person who doesn’t follow the rules. And I don’t have much money on me, so you can take these few hundred yuan to buy milk tea, as my apology to all the junior girls.”

Seeing that there was money to be divided, they were all happy.

Hundred yuan per person, not bad!

“You’re a senior! Then add me on WeChat, and take care of your junior girls if you need anything in the future.”

“Yeah, add me on WeChat, and if you want to go to a bar, just look for me. I work in several bars, and I can definitely find one that you’ll be satisfied with.”

…

Yang Chen: “I’m sorry, my fish pond is full [a metaphor for having too many romantic interests], I really can’t add any more. I’ll contact you when I expand my fish pond. I have to go now, please let me pass.”

The junior girls reluctantly made way, and Yang Chen quickly got in the car and left.

Alas…

What a great age, but they are already bearing the weight that they shouldn’t be bearing at this age.

The junior girls looked at the departing Rolls-Royce, all with regretful expressions.

“Alas… so handsome and so rich, what a pity.”

“I even offered to do it for free, but he still didn’t want to. Don’t even think about it, a man of this level doesn’t lack girls.”

“Actually, as long as he’s willing, I can even pay him. In this life, besides loving money, I only love handsome guys, especially strong handsome guys, just thinking about it makes my mouth water.”

…

Yang Chen hadn’t gone far from the school gate when Zhang Yang called him.

Zhang Yang: “Brother Chen, are you still at school?”

Yang Chen: “Oh, I have something urgent to do, so I left first. You’re busy today, so I won’t bother you. I’ll treat you to dinner and catch up when I come to see my girlfriend another day.”

Zhang Yang: “Okay, okay. When you come another day, I’ll treat you to dinner at the alumni restaurant we used to go to. By the way, I just ran into Chen Liang again. He also sent his girlfriend to school, and she’s a mixed-race from China and the United States, named Jessica. He told me that you were here too, so he asked me to call you to have dinner together.”

Speaking of Chen Liang, the grudges between Yang Chen and him could make a movie.

The two had friction from the beginning of their freshman year.

Yang Chen was in the marketing department, and Chen Liang was in the finance department, so there wouldn’t have been any intersection.

However, freshmen must have military training, which brought them together.

During military training breaks, the instructors would invite some students with talents to come out and perform to relieve everyone’s stress.

The performers could also show off, and those who performed particularly well could get priority in choosing a partner for the next four years.

One day, Chen Liang performed a very cool street dance, which won everyone’s cheers.

However, Yang Chen, who was next to him, played and sang a song called “Blue and White Porcelain”, which was amazing and shocked the audience, stealing Chen Liang’s thunder.

From that time on, Yang Chen was targeted by senior and junior girls, and he was often harassed by their confessions.

Later, when freshmen applied to join the student union, the then minister of the external relations department had already selected 4 freshmen, including Chen Liang.

Yang Chen was late because he was having dinner with Zhao Feifei, but he passed the interview for the external relations department, so the minister made an excuse to kick Chen Liang out and let Yang Chen take his place.

Chen Liang naturally regarded Yang Chen as a thorn in his side after being robbed of the limelight during military training and then being robbed of the opportunity to join the student union.

In his sophomore year, Yang Chen felt that the student union was boring, so he applied to withdraw.

Chen Liang felt that his opportunity had come, so he quickly treated people to dinner and took care of all parties, preparing to compete for the position of deputy minister.

According to the rules, each department has one minister, two deputy ministers, and 4-6 ordinary members.

The minister remained the same, and one deputy minister had already been decided, leaving one deputy minister position.

Originally, Chen Liang felt that it was a sure thing, and he would definitely be the other candidate for deputy minister.

However, the counselor talked to Yang Chen that day, hoping that he could continue to stay in the student union and strive to be the minister next year, which would be of great help to him in finding a job in the future.

Yang Chen listened to the counselor and withdrew his application to withdraw.

Result?

Needless to say, Chen Liang was suppressed by Yang Chen for the third time, and the remaining deputy minister position was given to Yang Chen.

In his junior year, Yang Chen and Chen Liang directly competed for the position of minister.

Chen Liang had good conditions in all aspects, but he was not as good as Yang Chen in terms of work experience.

In the end, Chen Liang lost to Yang Chen for the fourth time.

However, to comfort him, the chairman of the student union nominated him to be the deputy minister, and he later agreed.

In the second semester of his junior year, Chen Liang graduated early after earning enough credits and went to the United States to study.

He graduated and returned to China a while ago, and joined the Haicheng branch of Shengjin Investment Bank in the United States as vice president.

He specifically asked Yang Chen to have dinner, probably wanting to take revenge.

However, Yang Chen didn’t know his current identity, thinking that although they had competed many times, the two had been in a superior-subordinate relationship in the external relations department for a year after all.

Since he took the initiative to invite him, there was no reason to refuse.

So, Yang Chen said, “I may not be free today, let him pick another time. After he picks a time, just let me know a day in advance.”

Zhang Yang: “Okay. Then I’ll tell him. Brother Chen, drive safely.”
