How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 169

Yang Chen is a ‘Quick Man’? How is it wrong for a ride-hailing driver to have some money?

The principal, along with school leaders and distinguished alumni, arrived at the auditorium.

Chen Liang and the others finally realized their dream of showing off in front of their younger schoolmates.

The students in the audience looked at these awesome seniors, each filled with admiration and fantasy.

“I must study hard and find a good job or start a business in the future. I must be like those seniors, giving a speech on stage at the university’s 70th-anniversary celebration.”

“It seems like I can also become a guest of honor like those seniors, bragging to the later students.”

“These are all seniors who donated hundreds of thousands, or even millions, right? How wonderful…”

…

After the distinguished alumni spoke, the school leaders also took the stage.

Principal Ge Sulan was the last to speak. In addition to summarizing the previous speeches, she also had some announcements to make.

“Thank you to all the distinguished alumni for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend today’s anniversary celebration. Thank you also for your generous donations, which have solved the school’s urgent needs. With everyone’s help, our new teaching building can be built smoothly. In addition, I would like to thank a distinguished alumnus, Yang Chen, from the Class of 2016, majoring in Marketing. He connected the school with a real estate company to buy the land on the west side, so we can build faculty apartments. In the future, school staff will no longer have to commute between the city and the school or rent houses nearby. Not only that, Yang Chen also negotiated the price with the other party, saving the school a full 20 million.”

“Wow…” The students exclaimed.

For them, 20,000 yuan was a lot of money, let alone 20 million.

Saving 20 million at once is equivalent to him donating 20 million to the school, right?

Ge Sulan continued, “So, the school is keeping its promise and has decided to name the expanded teaching building Yang Chen Building 1. Everyone may be curious, why Yang Chen Building 1? That’s because your senior Yang Chen is noble-minded, highly enlightened, cares about the school, respects teachers, loves you younger students, and personally funded the university’s student activity center. In the future, everyone will no longer have to hold parties in the old building but can hold activities in the new university student activity center donated by senior Yang Chen. To thank Yang Chen for his donation, we have decided to name the university student activity center Yang Chen Building 2. I hope that in the future, when you see Yang Chen Building 1 and 2, you can be inspired to study hard and strive to become an outstanding graduate of the university like senior Yang Chen! The glorious deeds and noble thoughts of Yang Chen will surely be passed down forever on the university campus! Thank you all!”

“Clap clap clap clap clap…”

Enduring applause rang out in the auditorium.

While applauding, everyone looked around, wondering which one was senior Yang Chen.

In the crowd, Li Xiaofei was very excited, in stark contrast to Zhao Feifei, who looked sad.

Back then, for a few bags and pieces of jewelry, she ruthlessly left Yang Chen, whom she had been with for six years. Now, she really regrets it and wants to die. The opportunity to become a wealthy lady was personally buried by her.

“Principal, where is senior Yang Chen?”

“Why don’t we see senior Yang Chen giving a speech?”

“We want to see senior Yang Chen and have him give us a speech too.”

“Yes, Principal, let senior Yang Chen tell us something.”

…

This made the alumni at the scene feel awkward. They didn’t receive much enthusiasm when they gave their speeches, but Yang Chen, who didn’t come to the scene, received everyone’s enthusiastic anticipation.

Ge Sulan said with a smile, “I understand everyone’s feelings very well. In fact, I feel the same way as everyone else. I also want Yang Chen to tell you a story of struggle to inspire you to move forward bravely. However, Yang Chen is very busy with work, and it is already rare for him to take the time to participate in the anniversary celebration. But don’t be discouraged. As long as you study hard, you may be able to work at Yang Chen’s company in the future, and then you can see him often. Yang Chen invests in many projects, covering almost all of our school’s majors. So, everyone, don’t waste your time. Only by presenting a better resume than others can you stand out from the many competitors.”

The students nodded and secretly made up their minds.

“I must study hard, get a scholarship every year, and go to work at senior Yang Chen’s company when I graduate.”

“From now on, I will not date, only study. I must be better than others. Yang Chen, I’m coming!”

…

The event ended, and the alumni were free to move around and enjoy the scenery of the university’s new campus.

Li Xiaofei called Yang Chen while returning to the dormitory.

Li Xiaofei: “Hehe… the principal praised you to the heavens. The students are all looking for you, wanting you to give a speech to everyone.”

Yang Chen: “Luckily, I didn’t go, or I would have become famous.”

Li Xiaofei: “Isn’t it good to be famous? Don’t all the alumni who donated money want to be famous? Why don’t you want to?”

Yang Chen: “With a senior as handsome as me, once I become famous, I’m afraid the girls at the university will have fantasies about me every night and won’t be able to sleep. I don’t want to affect the development of the younger students, *ahem*, I mean growth, so I want to keep a low profile.”

Li Xiaofei: “Haha… are you sure this is a topic you can talk to me about?”

Yang Chen: “What’s wrong? You’re all adults, can’t you talk about adult topics?”

Li Xiaofei: “You want to end up in orthopedics [referring to broken bones from a beating], right?”

Yang Chen: “Of course not.”

Li Xiaofei laughed heartily. Just then, Chen Ming passed by and was immediately captivated by her.

Chen Ming followed Li Xiaofei all the way. When she hung up the phone, he immediately walked up to her and stopped her.

“Hi, junior, I’m a graduate from the Class of 2013. My name is Chen Ming,” Chen Ming said with a smile.

Li Xiaofei nodded and said, “I remember you. You gave a speech just now. What’s the matter?”

Chen Ming: “Can I treat you to a meal?”

Li Xiaofei: “Sorry, senior, I have to go back to the dormitory.”

Chen Ming: “Don’t think too much, junior. I just donated a million to the school and just want to learn about the school’s recent situation.”

Li Xiaofei: “I have a boyfriend. I’m afraid he’ll misunderstand. Thank you for your kindness, senior. You should find other juniors to learn about it.”

Several alumni next to them laughed at Chen Ming for being rejected.

Chen Ming, like Chen Liang, especially likes to show off.

He didn’t want to lose face in front of the alumni, so he quickly chased after her and said, “Junior, I don’t mean anything else, I really just want to learn about the school’s recent situation. As a thank you, I’ll give you an Apple computer later. Okay?”

Li Xiaofei: “I have a boyfriend. I don’t want him to misunderstand. Can you understand?”

Chen Ming: “What does your boyfriend do?”

Li Xiaofei: “He drives a ride-hailing car.”

Chen Ming: “You’re so beautiful. You can find a boss like me to be your boyfriend. Isn’t it a waste of your talent to find a ride-hailing driver?”

Li Xiaofei: “Do you want me to call my boyfriend and have you persuade him to leave me?”

Chen Ming: “No problem, call him.”

A ride-hailing driver is nothing to be afraid of.

Li Xiaofei called Yang Chen and said, “Honey, senior Chen Ming is looking for you. He said he wants to persuade you to break up with me and wants to give me an Apple computer.”

After speaking, Li Xiaofei handed the phone to Chen Ming.

Chen Ming: “Hello, brother, no…”

Yang Chen: “Boss Chen is getting a little cocky. You dare to have ideas about my girl?”

Chen Ming: “This voice… Yang Chen?”

Yang Chen: “You stand there and don’t move. I’ll go find you. You persuade me to break up in person.”

Chen Ming: “No, no, no, brother, I was wrong, I was wrong. I didn’t know she was your girlfriend. Misunderstanding, it was a misunderstanding.”

After speaking, Chen Ming quickly hung up the phone and returned it to Li Xiaofei, then quickly left.

“Senior, aren’t you going to persuade my boyfriend to break up with me?” Li Xiaofei shouted.

Chen Ming didn’t turn his head and quickly slipped away.

Other alumni were curious about who Li Xiaofei’s boyfriend was and how he scared Chen Ming like that.

“Yang Chen,” Li Xiaofei replied.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

“President Chen, don’t go! Persuade him!”

“Are you still giving away the Apple computer?”

“Haha…”

…

At eleven o’clock in the evening, Yang Chen dropped off a passenger at a bar.

He felt a little *憋得慌* [biē de huāng – uncomfortable/restless] at this moment, so he parked by the side of the road and went to the nearby alley to relieve himself.

“Hoo… comfortable…” Yang Chen couldn’t help but sigh.

After he finished and pulled up his pants, someone suddenly bumped into him and fell on the wet spot.

“Hiss…” Yang Chen gasped.

Because it was dark in the alley, Yang Chen could only tell that she was a woman by her long legs.

At this moment, two more people came from behind.

“Who are you?”

“It’s none of your business, don’t be nosy.”

Yang Chen replied, “I’m taking a piss.”

“Are you done? Get out of here if you’re done.”

“Remember, you didn’t see anything, understand?”

Yang Chen didn’t want to cause trouble. Anyway, girls who drink like this in bars don’t deserve any pity if they encounter any misfortune.

Normal people know that this kind of place is not safe, and she still drinks herself like this, which means she doesn’t care about herself, so why should others pretend to be Mother Teresa and sympathize with her?

Yang Chen turned to leave, but the girl grabbed his calf with both hands and said, “Save me, save me… they drugged me, save me…”

Oh no, damn it, why do I keep running into this kind of thing?

I’m just a ride-hailing driver, I don’t want to be a hero.

“Brother, I’m reminding you one last time, it’s none of your business, get out of here quickly.”

“Also, remember, you didn’t see anything.”

Yang Chen wanted to leave, but the woman grabbed his leg tightly like she was holding onto the last straw.

The two men stepped forward to pull her away, but the woman desperately held onto Yang Chen’s leg.

“Miss Ju, don’t struggle, go back obediently, and all your requests will be fulfilled.”

“We are also acting on orders, why are you making things difficult for us? As long as you go back, we can do our job, and you can get what you want, isn’t that good?”

The girl’s consciousness gradually blurred, and she said, “I’m not going back, I will never let Chen Kang succeed. Sir, save me, please, I will repay you with everything I have. I am… I am…”

Then the girl fainted, but her hands were still tightly holding Yang Chen’s leg.

Sigh…

In the end, he couldn’t get over this hurdle in his heart.

Yang Chen immediately said, “She’s already like this, does your master still want to do it? Then why not buy a piece of pork, isn’t the feeling the same?”

“Hey! Are you looking for a fight?”

“I told you not to be nosy, can’t you understand?”

“Go to hell!” Yang Chen cursed angrily, grabbed the two men’s heads and gave them a passionate head-on collision.

Yang Chen’s body has been modified by the system, and his strength is the greatest in the world. With such a collision, the two men lost consciousness on the spot.

Yang Chen quickly picked up this Miss Ju and got into his car, immediately driving away from the bar.

Because he was worried that others would see someone lying in the car, Yang Chen didn’t dare to turn on the lights.

But now the problem is, where should he take her?

He definitely can’t take her home, Yang Chen doesn’t want to cause trouble for his family.

Take her to a hotel?

That won’t work either. In her state, the hotel might think he’s picking up a corpse.

Helpless, Yang Chen had to drive to the riverside and stop, waiting for her to recover from the drug’s effects.

“Sigh… I really don’t know what some people’s fetishes are these days, drugging people and then doing it, what’s the difference between that and messing with a piece of pork? Of course, it’s more interesting when she cooperates willingly,” Yang Chen couldn’t help but complain.

After about an hour, there was movement in the back seat.

Yang Chen quickly turned around and looked over. That Miss Ju slowly woke up.

But because the effects of the drug hadn’t completely worn off, she felt weak, her mouth was dry, and it was difficult to speak.

“You’re awake?” Yang Chen asked.

Miss Ju paused for a moment and said, “You… who are you? What did you do to me?”

Yang Chen: “Hey, don’t talk nonsense. I didn’t do anything, I just rescued you. I’m getting out of the car now. If you don’t believe me, you can take off your clothes and check if there are any signs of violation. Even if there are, it’s something that happened in the bar, and it has nothing to do with me.”

After speaking, Yang Chen got out of the car.

I didn’t even turn on the car lights because I was afraid she would misunderstand. Don’t try to blackmail me.

After a while, Miss Ju got out of the car.

“Why do I smell so bad?” Miss Ju asked.

Yang Chen: “Maybe… maybe you fell on my pee in the alley.”

Miss Ju: “Ah? Yuck… you… ah…”

Look how angry the girl is, she can’t even speak properly.

Yang Chen: “You fell on it yourself, I didn’t push you.”

Miss Ju: “You’re so rude, how can you do that kind of thing in public?”

Yang Chen: “I didn’t even *xián qì* [xián qì – dislike/find fault with] you for getting my car dirty, and you’re *xián qì* me? If I hadn’t saved you, you don’t know how many men would be on top of you right now. Miss, get your facts straight, okay?”

Miss Ju: “You…”

Yang Chen’s words may have been a bit *粗暴* [cū bào – rough/crude], but the reasoning is correct.

In her dead fish-like state just now, she wouldn’t even know if someone was on top of her.

Normally, shouldn’t her first reaction after waking up be to thank Yang Chen for his kindness?

She’s blaming him instead.

If Yang Chen hadn’t gone to the alley to pee, she wouldn’t have been saved.

So, she should be grateful for this pee, instead of *xián qì* and blaming him like this.

“Alright, you’re awake now, I don’t care anymore, I have to go wash the car. You can find your own way back,” Yang Chen said, then he got into the car and was about to leave.

It’s quite scary by the river late at night, so Miss Ju quickly chased after Yang Chen and got into the car.

Yang Chen turned on the lights, turned around and looked at her. Goodness, isn’t this that celebrity Ju Yiyi?

“It’s you?” Yang Chen asked.

Ju Yiyi: “Ah? You only know it’s me now?”

Yang Chen: “Yeah! I was afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, so I didn’t turn on the lights. You’re such an impolite celebrity, the first thing you do when you wake up is not to thank me, but to blame me. You celebrities are not that great, your quality is not even as good as a screw maker.”

Ju Yiyi was speechless by Yang Chen’s words.

After a few seconds of silence, Ju Yiyi said, “I’m sorry. I’ve experienced too much tonight, and my mind is still dizzy. I was wrong to speak like that just now, please forgive me. Thank you for saving me, I said I would repay you with everything I have. Tell me, what do you want? Don’t make excessive demands, I won’t agree.”

Yang Chen: “Don’t be silly, your figure is like a washboard, even if you have ideas about me, I don’t have any ideas about you.”

Ju Yiyi: “You… hey! Don’t make personal attacks!”

Just stating a fact, is that a personal attack?

Although he was *怼ing* [duì – to rebut/contradict] her, Yang Chen was still quite interested in Ju Yiyi’s experience.

“No… I’m a little confused. You’re a popular celebrity, how could you be drugged? Aren’t you celebrities the most concerned about your image? Aren’t you afraid of being recognized or having videos of you exposed?” Yang Chen asked.

Ju Yiyi rolled her eyes at him and said, “You think I wanted this? Isn’t this all for survival?”

“For survival? Sister, don’t be silly, okay? Can’t you celebrities earn two million a day, and the tax evasion fines are in the billions? For survival, that’s not appropriate to use on you, right?” Yang Chen asked, puzzled.

Ju Yiyi rolled her eyes again and said, “You think every celebrity earns that much? Besides, even if they earn that much, do you know what we have to give up?”

Yang Chen shook his head.

Ju Yiyi: “Since you saved me, I’ll tell you about it.”

Now there are too many celebrities in the entertainment industry, and there are many who cross over to become actors.

If the director directs well, they can become actors.

If they sing well, they can become actors.

If the *网红* [wǎng hóng – internet celebrity] is popular enough, they can become actors.

Anyway, as long as they are famous, they can become actors.

This undoubtedly increases the competitiveness for actors.

The entertainment industry has no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women.

Investors have too many choices when choosing actors.

Take Ju Yiyi herself as an example. If she wants to get a role, she must compete with other actors.

So how does she compete?

Of course, she has to accompany them to eat, cooperate, and play, and make the investors happy, and then she will get the role.

In the past, she only had to accompany them to eat, drink, and play, but this time, the investor for the role she wanted wanted her to sleep with him.

She definitely didn’t want to sleep with him, but in order to get the role, she took the risk of meeting the investor at the bar, but she didn’t expect to be drugged.

Ju Yiyi also said that this situation is very common in the entertainment industry, and almost all young and beautiful actors have to experience it.

If they have a good *经纪公司* [jīng jì gōng sī – management company], the situation may be better, and they only need to accompany them to eat and drink normally, and at least they won’t have to sleep with them.

If the *经纪公司* is not strong, they can only rely on sleeping with them to exchange for roles.

Some actresses, in order to protect themselves, find a backer and only need to serve the backer, without having to serve other investors.

However, once these actresses lose their backer, they will quickly lose resources and gradually become marginalized from first-line celebrities.

…

Ju Yiyi seemed to have a lot of grievances in her heart, and she spoke for more than an hour in one breath.

Yang Chen was a little confused after listening. He always thought the entertainment industry was glamorous, but he didn’t expect it to be so dirty and chaotic.

Teacher Chen’s daughter, Chen Yanni, also wants to be an actress. With her having no power, no influence, and no background, if she wants to make a name for herself, she probably has to sleep with them too.

Thinking that the little girl who has been following him since she was a child, calling him Brother Chen, is going to be *潜规则* [qián guī zé – unspoken rules] by some old men, Yang Chen feels very heartbroken.

“No way! I have to start an entertainment company and sign Yanni into the company to cultivate her, and not let those old men touch Yanni!” Yang Chen thought to himself.

“It seems like you’re all earning hard-earned money. Where do you live? I’ll take you back,” Yang Chen asked.

“Tomson Riviera! Thank you,” Ju Yiyi replied.

Damn, she’s quite rich.

Accompanying them to eat, drink, and play also has its rewards.

Yang Chen immediately started the car and took Ju Yiyi to Tomson Riviera.

Because of Ju Yiyi’s relationship, the security guard let Yang Chen drive in.

When they arrived at the parking lot, Ju Yiyi said, “Can you take me upstairs? My body is dirty because of your… it would be embarrassing if people saw me later. And I don’t have any cash in my bag, I’ll go back and get it for you.”

Yang Chen: “Can’t you pay with your phone?”

Ju Yiyi: “Of course not! My contact information must be kept secret, I can’t pay with my phone.”

I *丢* [diū – damn]…

Alright!

Yang Chen got out of the car and wrapped Ju Yiyi’s lower body with his clothes and took her upstairs.

At this time, in a business car not far away, several paparazzi recorded everything.

“Hey, do you guys know this man?”

“I don’t know him, it’s the first time I’ve seen him.”

“Damn! I didn’t expect Ju Yiyi, who has never had any scandals, to have an outsider boyfriend.”

“He looks quite handsome!”

“Hey, we can’t envy him, they’re going upstairs to play poker, and we still have to guard here. What a hard life.”

…

More than ten minutes later, Yang Chen came down.

The paparazzi quickly took pictures of him again.

“Damn, so fast?”

“This guy might have some kind of disease, right? Taking off his clothes, taking a shower, plus the time to go up and down the stairs, he’s done so quickly?”

“Sigh… the goddess is so pitiful, her boyfriend is a ‘quick man’.”

…

“Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!” Yang Chen sneezed three times in a row.

“Damn it, which bastard is cursing me?” Yang Chen couldn’t help but complain.

Yang Chen returned home, took a shower, and sent a message to Chen Yanni.

“Yanni, how is Teacher Chen’s health recently?”

Chen Yanni: “She’s recovering very well, thank you, Brother Chen. Don’t work so hard running the car every day. When I become famous, I’ll hire you as my personal driver, so you won’t have to be so tired in the future.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… okay, I’m waiting for that day to come. You’re a sophomore now, and you’re working part-time as a extra, right?”

Chen Yanni: “Yes.”

Yang Chen wanted to ask her if she had encountered any investors who asked her to sleep with them, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

Which brother would be embarrassed to ask his sister that?

Yang Chen: “I recently started a *网红* economic company, and when I do well, I’ll develop into the entertainment industry. When you graduate in the future, just sign in, and your brother will fully support you alone. So, if anyone tries to force or lure you, don’t pay attention to them. With your brother here, we don’t need to ask others. Understand?”

Chen Yanni: “Really? Hehe… Brother Chen, you’re so amazing. You’re the most amazing person in the world. I know what to do, I definitely won’t be bullied, don’t worry.”

That’s all he could say, he couldn’t go any further.

…

The next morning, the entertainment gossip news came out.

“Ju Yiyi’s outsider boyfriend exposed, the two snuggled upstairs to spend a good night together. The boyfriend is very handsome, but unfortunately he is a ‘quick man’!”
