Not long after, the flight attendant sleeping in the back seat suddenly sneezed three times in a row.

Yang Chen quickly asked, “I’m sorry, is the air conditioning too cold? Should I turn it off?”

The flight attendant quickly replied, “No, I don’t feel cold.”

Yang Chen nodded and didn’t say anything else.

But after a little while, the flight attendant sneezed again several times in a row, and red spots appeared on her skin.

Yang Chen suddenly remembered the dog and quickly asked, “Miss, are you allergic to dog hair?”

The flight attendant said, “Yes, I am prone to allergies. I even gave away my Teddy that I used to have. What’s wrong? Have you had a dog in your car?”

Yang Chen quickly pulled over to the side of the road. When he turned around, he was shocked to see that the flight attendant had large and small red spots on her neck, arms, and calves, and her face was also flushed. These were obvious symptoms of an allergic reaction.

“I’m so sorry. There was a passenger with a golden retriever just now, and I kicked her out. But her dog was in the car for less than a minute. You must be allergic. I’ll take you to the hospital for treatment now. I’m sorry, I will take full responsibility. Don’t worry,” Yang Chen said.

The flight attendant said, “Ah! Oh no, why are there people like this? Why bring a dog on public transportation? Hurry, I feel so itchy.”

“Don’t scratch! Bear with it, I’ll hurry!” Yang Chen replied.

The flight attendant squirmed in the back seat and said, “But it’s really too itchy, I can’t help but want to use my hands…”

“Bear with it, bear with it, I’ll speed up!” Yang Chen said, and then he sped up.

More than ten minutes later, the car stopped in the parking lot at the entrance of Longmei Hospital.

The flight attendant was taken aback when she saw it was Longmei Hospital, with Rolls-Royces parked inside.

“Handsome, let’s go to another hospital. I probably can’t afford this one. Let’s go to another one,” the flight attendant said.

*She seemed like a nice person. If it were someone else, they would be eager to take advantage of the driver at this time.*

Yang Chen quickly replied, “It’s okay, I’ll cover all the medical expenses. Just cooperate with the doctor for treatment.”

Yang Chen went to the information desk, stated his identity, and the nurse quickly called the dermatology expert to prepare.

“Miss, give your ID card to the nurse so she can help you register. Let’s go up for treatment first,” Yang Chen said.

The flight attendant looked surprised and said, “Ah? There’s such a service? Okay, here you go, thank you.”

The nurse smiled and shook her head, then quickly ran to register. Yang Chen took the flight attendant directly to the dermatology department upstairs for treatment.

More than ten minutes later, the flight attendant and the doctor came out.

The doctor quickly stepped forward and said, “Hello, Mr. Yang. This young lady is allergic to dog hair. I’ve prescribed some medicine. Take it and apply it on time, and you’ll get better slowly. It’s nothing serious, so don’t worry.”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Thank you, Dr. Chen.”

After leaving the hospital, the flight attendant couldn’t help but ask, “Why are they so polite to you?”

Yang Chen smiled and replied, “I’ve been here for treatment before, so I’m familiar with them.”

The flight attendant looked shocked and said, “Is the income from driving for a ride-hailing service so good now that you can come here for treatment when you’re sick?”

“Haha…”

“If I didn’t have a wife, I wouldn’t need to be too frugal living alone. I’m just enjoying myself a little. I’m very sorry about today. Actually, I thought it might affect the passengers later, but I didn’t remind you.”

The flight attendant smiled and shook her head, saying, “It’s okay, the doctor said it’s nothing serious. What’s your name? I’m Lin Yiren, a flight attendant with China Eastern.”

Yang Chen: “I’m Yang Chen.”

Lin Yiren: “Then let’s add each other as friends [on WeChat, a popular messaging app]. You said you’d take responsibility to the end, so you can’t go back on your word.”

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, adding Lin Yiren as a friend.

Afterward, Yang Chen hailed a car for Lin Yiren, and then he drove off to get his car cleaned.

When Yang Chen finished cleaning up and was about to go home, Lin Yiren sent him a voice message.

“Brother Yang, I feel like it’s getting worse. I might have to go to the hospital again.”

Yang Chen quickly gave her a voice call.

Yang Chen: “Miss Lin, how are you feeling now?”

Lin Yiren: “I just took the medicine and applied it, but I don’t feel any effect. It’s still very itchy, and I’m about to break down.”

Yang Chen: “Okay, send me your address, and I’ll have the doctor come over to take a look. I’ll go over there now too.”

Lin Yiren: “Okay, I’m sorry to trouble you so late.”

Yang Chen: “It’s all my fault, I should take responsibility to the end. Send it to me, and I’ll call the doctor to come over and take a look right away.”

Soon, Lin Yiren sent Yang Chen a WeChat location message.

Yang Chen quickly called the information desk at Longmei Hospital and asked them to notify Dr. Chen to go to Lin Yiren’s house immediately.

More than twenty minutes later, Yang Chen arrived at Lin Yiren’s Binjiang Apartment first.

After waiting downstairs for a while, Dr. Chen arrived, and the two went to Lin Yiren’s house together.

Lin Yiren opened the door and quickly said, “Brother Yang, Dr. Chen, I’m sorry to trouble you so late. But I really can’t stand it anymore. Do you think I might be allergic to the medicine too?”

Dr. Chen quickly went into the house to examine her and then said, “It’s okay! Miss Lin’s symptoms are a bit severe, and the medicine won’t work so quickly. Just get some sleep, and you’ll be better tomorrow morning. Miss Lin, remember not to scratch, the more you scratch, the worse it gets, and it’s easy to break the skin and bleed, which will be even more troublesome.”

Lin Yiren nodded and said, “But it’s really itchy, can you prescribe some anti-itch medicine for me?”

Dr. Chen replied, “Your itching is caused by allergic symptoms, and only when the allergic symptoms are relieved can the itching stop. Miss Lin, remember that all medicines are somewhat toxic, so just bear with it, and it will pass. There’s no need to take more medicine.”

Lin Yiren nodded and said, “Okay then. Thank you, Dr. Chen. It’s getting late, so you should go back first.”

Dr. Chen nodded and said goodbye to Yang Chen and Lin Yiren before leaving.

Yang Chen asked, “Miss Lin, do you live alone?”

Lin Yiren nodded and said, “Yes! I originally shared an apartment with a colleague, but she got a boyfriend last month and moved in with him last week. Now I live alone, otherwise I wouldn’t have troubled you.”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Then I’ll go first, you should get some rest. If you have any problems, call me anytime.”

Lin Yiren nodded and sent Yang Chen out.

Coincidentally,

163. Rewarding China Eastern with 28% Equity (Seeking Subscriptions)

Lin Yiren’s former roommate, Ran Xiaojing, and her boyfriend came back together to pick up some things.

Ran Xiaojing smiled gossipily and said, “Yiren, that’s too much! You didn’t even tell your girl friends that you got a boyfriend. I told you the first thing when Luo and I got together.”

Lin Yiren quickly replied, “Oh no, Xiaojing, don’t talk nonsense. He’s ride-hailing driver Master Yang.”

As soon as she heard that Yang Chen was a ride-hailing driver, Ran Xiaojing showed a hint of disdain.

In the flight attendant industry, many people are quite materialistic, and some are even kept by others or work as escorts.

Ran Xiaojing was one of them. She started working part-time while she was still in school, and later, after entering China Eastern, she took advantage of her service in the business class to hook up with wealthy people.

Others were just playing around, but Zhang Luo was serious and insisted on being her boyfriend, probably because he was quite satisfied with her skills.

However, not all flight attendants are like Ran Xiaojing. For example, Lin Yiren is more upright, which is also related to her non-competitive, undemanding, and unselfish personality.

If she also wanted to serve in the business class, she would probably have to pay some price.

Also, the fact that Lin Yiren’s father’s high school classmate is a pilot in Donghai is one of the reasons why she can safely be an economy class flight attendant.

Because sometimes it’s not enough for her to be honest and law-abiding. Many people see that she is beautiful and will try to get her in every possible way.

There are many news stories online about airline pilots, leaders, and others who have unspoken rules with flight attendants [sexual harassment or exploitation in exchange for career advancement].

Yang Chen smiled and said, “Then I’ll go first, you guys chat.”

Lin Yiren nodded and said, “Brother Yang, drive carefully. Thank you for tonight.”

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, walking towards the elevator.

Lin Yiren invited Ran Xiaojing and Zhang Luo into the house.

Ran Xiaojing: “Yiren, don’t be silly. You’re so beautiful, you can find a rich second generation [wealthy heir], a company boss, or something. Don’t just get together with him because he’s handsome. He’s just a ride-hailing driver, and his income isn’t as high as yours. You two won’t be happy together.”

Lin Yiren rolled her eyes speechlessly and told Ran Xiaojing about what happened tonight.

Ran Xiaojing nodded and said, “Then give him a bad review! Why are you being so polite to him? You have to give him a bad review and complain, so he won’t dare to pick up passengers with pets in the future. You have to think this way: you were the victim today, and if he continues to do this in the future, others will still be victimized. What if one day he encounters a particularly serious passenger? Severe allergies can kill people.”

Lin Yiren quickly waved her hand and replied, “No, no. In essence, he is also a victim. It was the passenger who brought the dog on the car who was wrong. And he didn’t shirk responsibility after the accident, and he even paid for me to go to Longmei Hospital for treatment. I don’t think it’s necessary to give him a bad review. Why harm him?”

Ran Xiaojing’s attitude was unusually firm. She snatched Lin Yiren’s phone, opened the BEEP app [ride-hailing app], found tonight’s order, and gave a bad review.

“Xiaojing, don’t do this. How am I going to explain this to him?” Lin Yiren said, trying to snatch the phone back.

However, Zhang Luo spread his arms in front of her. Lin Yiren didn’t want to touch him, so she could only watch Ran Xiaojing give the bad review.

“The driver is too irresponsible.

163. Rewarding China Eastern with 28% Equity (Seeking Subscriptions)

He actually allowed the previous passenger to bring a pet dog into the car, causing me to be allergic to dog hair and my whole body to be red and itchy. BEEP should fire such an irresponsible driver. Also, I want to say that if my physical symptoms get worse, I will definitely sue the driver and the platform in court.”

In order to prevent Lin Yiren from deleting the bad review later, Ran Xiaojing even deliberately deleted it once and then gave another bad review.

According to BEEP platform rules, if a passenger gives a bad review, they can modify the review once. The second review, whether good or bad, cannot be modified again.

It has to be said that Ran Xiaojing is really bad, and inexplicably bad, making people not understand why she did this.

Ran Xiaojing returned the phone to Lin Yiren.

Lin Yiren quickly wanted to delete the bad review, but found that she could no longer operate it.

“Xiaojing, what are you doing? It’s not easy for people to drive, and he even paid for me to go to Longmei Hospital for treatment. What’s the point of me giving him a bad review?” Lin Yiren said angrily.

Ran Xiaojing: “Are you in love with him at first sight because you think he’s handsome? He paid because it was his responsibility. He should have paid for your treatment, you don’t need to be grateful to him. And you’re so beautiful, he must have ideas about you, otherwise why would he pay for your treatment? Yiren, you’re too naive, you’re just a blank sheet of paper in terms of relationships, and it’s easy to be deceived. Listen to your girl friends, I’m definitely doing it for your own good. Okay, I won’t say anymore, I’m going to get my things.”

After speaking, Ran Xiaojing pulled Zhang Luo into her previous room to get her things.

Lin Yiren looked worried, not knowing how to explain it to Yang Chen.

At this time, Yang Chen had just driven not far away when he received a bad review notification.

Subsequently, the system also issued a reminder.

“Congratulations to the host for receiving a bad review. The system rewards the host with 28% equity in Donglong Airlines, making him the second largest shareholder of the group.”

Yang Chen was overjoyed. This system was very powerful, actually rewarding him with so much equity in China Eastern.

The largest shareholder of China Eastern is China Eastern Airlines Co., Ltd., which is under the jurisdiction of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission [government agency overseeing state-owned enterprises].

Yang Chen is the second largest shareholder, and also the largest natural person shareholder. This position is very high.

Although Yang Chen was quite angry that Lin Yiren gave him a bad review, he felt better after the system rewarded him with such awesome equity.

And thinking about it carefully, it was right for Lin Yiren to give a bad review, after all, she was allergic after riding in Yang Chen’s car.

Whether Yang Chen was intentional or unintentional, it was indeed his responsibility.

When Yang Chen was almost home, Lin Yiren sent a WeChat message.

“Brother Yang, I’m sorry, I told my best friend about what happened tonight, and she was very angry and insisted on giving you a bad review. I originally thought I could delete it, but now I don’t know how to do it. I’m sorry, I didn’t want to give you a bad review. Will this bad review cause you a lot of trouble? Will you be fined? If you will be fined, I’ll help you pay it. Sorry.”

It turned out that her best friend was the one who did it.

Yang Chen was very depressed. Lin Yiren herself didn’t say anything, so why was that best friend so bad?

Since it had nothing to do with Lin Yiren, Yang Chen didn’t want her to worry or blame herself, so he sent her a message.

“It doesn’t matter even if you gave it, you have the right to, and you have a reason to give a bad review.”

163. Rewarding China Eastern with 28% Equity (Seeking Subscriptions)

Yang Chen’s intention was to comfort Lin Yiren so she wouldn’t feel guilty about the bad review.

But when Lin Yiren saw this message, it seemed a bit resentful, and it seemed to imply that she was the one who gave the bad review but wanted to push it to her best friend.

Lin Yiren instantly felt sad and wanted to cry, feeling like she was being wronged.

When Yang Chen saw that she didn’t reply, he thought she was comforted, so he didn’t bother her anymore.

At this time, Ran Xiaojing and her boyfriend were on their way home.

Ran Xiaojing called the purser [chief flight attendant], Li Jiuyi.

Li Jiuyi: “Xiaojing, why are you calling me so late? Is your boyfriend not good enough, and you miss me?”

Ran Xiaojing looked at her boyfriend driving in the front row, feeling very guilty.

It was fortunate that she had the foresight to guess that Li Jiuyi might say some jerk things, so she made an excuse to lie down in the back row to make the call.

If she were sitting in the passenger seat, her boyfriend would definitely hear it.

Ran Xiaojing quickly replied, “I have something to tell you. I went back to get something just now and saw a man alone with Yiren at home.”

Li Jiuyi: “What? Who is it? Do I know him?”

Ran Xiaojing: “You definitely don’t know him. According to Yiren, he’s a ride-hailing driver. But he’s very handsome and has a good figure. If what Yiren said is true, then his only flaw is that his profession is a ride-hailing driver. Do you understand what I mean?”

Li Jiuyi: “Damn! Really? Is there such a perfect man?”

Ran Xiaojing: “Can I lie to you? The only flaw is that he’s a ride-hailing driver, otherwise he’s perfect. But, you also know that Yiren is a more emotional person, and she always emphasizes the importance of fate. If she believes that this is fate, even if that guy is a ride-hailing driver, she will definitely not dislike him.”

Li Jiuyi: “It’s really infuriating. I’m so good to her, but she refuses to accept me. Now she’s actually going to associate with a ride-hailing driver. Isn’t this embarrassing me? I’m a dignified China Eastern purser, am I not as good as a trash ride-hailing driver? He’s handsome, what’s the use of being handsome? Can being handsome be used as money when you need to spend it?”

Ran Xiaojing: “That’s true, but Yiren hasn’t been in a relationship before, and the love she imagines is all about fate. What can you do?”

Li Jiuyi sighed and was speechless.

Ran Xiaojing called him to tell him this, definitely not just to tell him, but to ask him for credit.

“But, don’t worry too much. I just took Yiren’s phone and gave that ride-hailing driver a bad review. That driver should be very angry right now. He might think that Yiren is a two-faced person, and maybe the two of them will have a conflict,” Ran Xiaojing said self-righteously.

Li Jiuyi was overjoyed and praised, “Well done! You’re still sensible! This way, if you have time, go back and take a look more often, and help me keep an eye on her. I’ll arrange for you to serve in the business class more often in the future, and when you get on the plane, I’ll let you experience the feeling of ascension again [sexual innuendo].”

Ran Xiaojing glanced at her boyfriend and quickly said, “Okay, I got it. I’m hanging up, we’re almost home. Bye.”

Ran Xiaojing quickly hung up the phone, afraid that her boyfriend would hear what Li Jiuyi said.

Zhang Luo smiled and said, “Since your purser likes Lin Yiren, why doesn’t he use some means?”

Ran Xiaojing:

163. Rewarding China Eastern with 28% Equity (Seeking Subscriptions)

“Yiren’s father and Li Jiuyi’s father were high school classmates. Li Jiuyi likes Yiren, but Yiren is not interested in him. Because of the relationship between the two fathers, he doesn’t dare to do anything too extreme.”

Zhang Luo nodded and said nothing more.

The rules set by Donglong Airlines for flight attendants are to fly for four days and rest for two days. That is, fly for four days and rest for two days.

Lin Yiren just flew back from the United States last night, and she can rest for the next two days.

But their rest doesn’t mean they really just sleep at home. They also have to report to the company, sometimes they need to attend meetings, participate in company activities, and receive training.

Early in the morning, Lin Yiren came to the company. Because she felt guilty all night and didn’t sleep well, plus she had allergies on her body, her whole state was not very good.

When her colleagues saw her haggard and red-spotted appearance, they felt sorry for her.

Everyone asked her with concern.

Lin Yiren smiled and said, “Thank you for your concern. The doctor said I’m fine.”

“Did you complain about that ride-hailing driver?”

“Yes! You must complain about him. It’s too annoying. How can a dog be allowed on a passenger car? Does he know that all passengers are not allergic?”

“That’s right! You must complain about him and let him learn a lesson, otherwise he will make such mistakes in the future, and others will be harmed by him.”

Because of the bad review last night, Lin Yiren had a hard time sleeping all night.

Now, if she gives Yang Chen another complaint, she is afraid that she will not be happy for a while.

In the end, she is a very kind person and doesn’t want to harm Yang Chen.

“I’m fine, the doctor said I’m fine. Everyone, hurry up and prepare for the meeting,” Lin Yiren said with a smile.

“Oh… when will you change this kind of personality? In this society, you will be bullied if you are too kind.”

“My dear, don’t be so kind, sometimes you have to be selfish and cold.”

“Forget it, she’s not like this for the first day, everyone don’t embarrass her.”

Lin Yiren smiled slightly and did not reply.

At this time, the purser Li Jiuyi came.

He walked straight to Lin Yiren and handed her the medicine in his hand.

“I heard from Xiaojing that you are allergic, so I brought you medicine specially. Try it, the doctor said it works very well,” Li Jiuyi said.

Everyone knows that Li Jiuyi likes Lin Yiren, but he has not succeeded.

As a flight attendant under Li Jiuyi, everyone must flatter him.

“Wow, so considerate.”

“When can I meet a peerless good man like the purser?”

“Purser, you are so warm, not to mention Yiren, even I, an outsider, am moved by you.”

“Yiren, I’m so envious of you, we don’t have such treatment. Last time I had a fever of 40 degrees [104 degrees Fahrenheit], the purser didn’t say he would bring me some medicine.”

“Can you compare with Yiren? Yiren is the purser’s sweetheart.”

“Haha…”

Li Jiuyi was very happy, but Lin Yiren felt very awkward.

Everyone knows that Lin Yiren is not interested in Li Jiuyi, but in order to please Li Jiuyi, they often deliberately bring the two together.

Lin Yiren is too considerate of others. She feels that everyone is deliberately doing this for work in order to please Li Jiuyi, so she doesn’t blame everyone.

Over time, everyone has become accustomed to bringing her and Li Jiuyi together.

Li Jiuyi’s father, Li Tianyun, is a pilot. Li Tianyun and Lin Yiren’s father, Lin Xulong, were high school classmates.

In the beginning, Lin Xulong asked his old classmate to send his daughter to Donglong Airlines as a flight attendant.

Because of this relationship, even if Lin Yiren doesn’t like Li Jiuyi, she has to deal with him.

“Thank you, Brother Jiuyi. I have seen a doctor and taken medicine. I’m actually fine, you don’t need to worry,” Lin Yiren said with a smile.

Oh…

It’s all for work, for life, who can’t do something involuntarily?

Li Jiuyi said with a smile: “You’re welcome, it’s all I should do. Okay, everyone, get ready, we’ll have a meeting soon.”

Around eleven o’clock, the meeting ended.

Other flight attendants had appointments, only Lin Yiren didn’t have a date.

Others also had the foresight to leave the conference room very quickly, leaving Li Jiuyi and Lin Yiren alone.

Li Jiuyi: “Yiren, let’s have dinner together later. A new French restaurant has opened in Beizha Night City. I heard the taste is good, let’s try it.”

Lin Yiren: “Thank you, Brother Jiuyi, I can’t eat things randomly in my condition. I’ll go home and cook some millet porridge. I’m leaving first, you should go to dinner early.”

Li Jiuyi: “Then I’ll send you home.”

Lin Yiren: “No need! I’ll take a taxi.”

Saying that, Lin Yiren opened the BEEP APP to place an order.

Just as Lin Yiren arrived at the company gate, a familiar car stopped in front of him.

Looking closely at the license plate, isn’t this Yang Chen’s car?

So destined?

Yang Chen also showed a happy smile and greeted Lin Yiren to get in the car.

This time Lin Yiren sat in the passenger seat.

“What a coincidence!” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Lin Yiren: “Yes! It’s too destined, I can get your car.”

Yang Chen: “Well, it’s destined. I just sent a customer to the front, and the system pushed your order over. How are you feeling? Still itchy?”

Lin Yiren: “Much better. Thank you. That… Brother Yang, about the bad review last night, I…”

Yang Chen: “It’s okay, I don’t care, don’t think about it. It has no effect on me, really.”

Lin Yiren: “That’s good. How about this, I’ll treat you to dinner. I heard that a new French restaurant has opened in Beizha District Night City, and the taste is very good, let’s try it.”

Um?

Why does this sentence sound so familiar?

Yang Chen: “Okay! I’ll treat you, it’s my compensation to you.”

Lin Yiren: “No, no, I must treat you, it’s my compensation to you.”

Yang Chen: “Okay, you treat this time, I’ll treat next time.”

Lin Yiren nodded happily and immediately changed the destination to Beizha District Night City.

Seeing Lin Yiren chatting so happily with the driver, Li Jiuyi guessed that this must be the ride-hailing driver that Ran Xiaojing said.

Li Jiuyi immediately drove his Mercedes-Benz G and followed, to see if Lin Yiren and this ride-hailing driver were really in a relationship.

If they are really dating, then Li Jiuyi has to use some means.

If they are not in a relationship, then find a chance to let this ride-hailing driver stay away from Lin Yiren.

“I have been pursuing her patiently for three years, and I will never allow a ride-hailing driver to interfere! Lin Yiren, I hope you don’t disappoint me, and don’t force me to treat you the way I treat other women. You have to figure out the situation, you can safely be a flight attendant without being subjected to unspoken rules because of my father’s relationship. If you are with a ride-hailing driver, there is no need to protect you. Just with you being a penniless and powerless, but beautiful girl, you want to be a flight attendant safely? Dream on! I don’t know how many people are coveting you,” Li Jiuyi thought to himself.
