How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 21

Solving Problems with Wisdom—What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (1)

If Yang Chen had smashed Zhang Hengzhi’s GTR, not only would the compensation be substantial, but he could also face criminal charges.

After all, that car is incredibly expensive, and even minor damage could easily exceed the threshold for criminal charges.

The people Zhang Hengzhi brought had smashed Yang Chen’s car, but he didn’t personally touch it.

Yang Chen could only sue those who physically damaged his car; Zhang Hengzhi himself would definitely be in the clear.

With this setup, Yang Chen would definitely be at a disadvantage.

So, this matter needed careful planning. He couldn’t afford to suffer a loss, nor could he let Zhang Hengzhi off easily.

Just then, two cars pulled up, one right after the other.

One was a Porsche 911, and the other was a Lamborghini Huracan.

They seemed to be friends of Zhang Hengzhi.

As the cars approached and stopped, Yang Chen recognized the drivers.

Wang Qianni was driving the 911, and Zhang Long was driving the Huracan.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle; it truly was a small world.

When Wang Qianni saw Yang Chen’s Buick smashed to pieces, she immediately confronted Zhang Hengzhi, “Are you crazy? Why did you smash his car? Didn’t I agree to be with you tonight? What’s the point of this?”

Zhang Hengzhi said very arrogantly, “It’s fun, so much fun! I wanted to destroy his means of making a living! What, are you feeling sorry for him?”

Wang Qianni rolled her eyes at Zhang Hengzhi.

Zhang Hengzhi laughed and said, “Why are you so cheap? You’d even fancy a ride-hailing driver. Aren’t you cheap? Tonight, I’m going to mess you up so badly that you’ll be begging for mercy!”

Wang Qianni was furious and cursed, “Zhang Hengzhi, don’t push it! Our family only owes your family money. If we could pay you back, do you think I’d even look at you?”

“Really? Then why are you here now? You know I’m going to mess you up in bed tonight, but you still came obediently? You could have stayed away! Go borrow money to pay our family back! What, can’t borrow it? Haha…” Zhang Hengzhi said arrogantly.

If she could borrow 50 million [yuan, Chinese currency], Wang Qianni’s father wouldn’t have pushed her toward Zhang Hengzhi in the first place.

Zhang Long walked up to Yang Chen and asked, “Damn! How did you offend him?”

Yang Chen replied with a smile, “It’s a long story. What happened to your face? Did your dad slap you?”

Zhang Long immediately glared at him and said, “Damn! Isn’t it because of you! My dad told me to apologize to you, or you wouldn’t agree to our family investing in Peninsula Group. Damn! I’ve been bullied by you like this, and you still want me to apologize? Do you think that’s possible?”

Yang Chen smiled, put his arm around Zhang Long, and walked aside, asking in a low voice, “Is your family very rich?”

Zhang Long immediately puffed out his chest and replied with a proud look, “Of course, our family has total assets of one billion [yuan]. Do you think that’s rich?”

Yang Chen glanced at Zhang Hengzhi again and continued to ask, “What’s your relationship with Zhang Hengzhi?”

“There’s no special relationship. Our Tianmu Investment participated in the third round of financing for his family’s real estate company, so I got to know him. We hang out sometimes, but there’s nothing special,” Zhang Long replied truthfully.

Yang Chen nodded and asked, “Then, would you like to avoid apologizing to me and still have me agree to Tianmu Investment investing in Peninsula Hotel?”

Zhang Long looked at Yang Chen with a serious expression and said, “What kind of scheme do you have? Let me tell you, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you hold 28% of Peninsula Hotel’s shares.”

“Damn, do you think I’m the kind of person who bullies others? There’s no deep hatred between us, right?” Yang Chen replied with a smile.

Zhang Long looked at Zhang Hengzhi, then at Yang Chen, and asked in a low voice, “You want my family to lend money to Wang Qianni’s family to help them out of their predicament with Zhang Hengzhi, right?”

Yang Chen patted Zhang Long on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Young Master Zhang is smart. Your family has been working on investing in Peninsula Group for over a year. The fact that your dad slapped you shows how important this project is to you. Now, let’s make a deal. You lend money to Wang Qianni’s family, and I’ll agree to your investment in Peninsula Hotel. You can call your dad to discuss it and then get back to me.”

Zhang Long rolled his eyes and asked, “Why don’t you lend her the money? You have 28% of Peninsula Hotel’s shares, worth over 3 billion [yuan]. Do you lack this 50 million?”

Yang Chen pointed to the smashed Buick and said, “I have to drive a ride-hailing car now. Don’t you understand what that means?”

Zhang Long thought to himself, could it be that Yang Chen is the young master of some secret family, and the family arranged for him to gain experience? Once the training period is over, he can go back and inherit the family property?

That’s how it’s written in online novels, like after three years, he immediately goes home to inherit the family property.

Zhang Long quickly asked in a low voice, “So you are from some family…”

Yang Chen immediately interrupted him.

“Shhh…”

Zhang Long confirmed that his guess was correct and quickly nodded, replying, “Understood. Then wait for me, I’ll call my dad.”

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, and Zhang Long quickly ran to a secluded place to make a call.

Zhang Hengzhi asked with a puzzled look, “What did you say to him?”

Yang Chen glared at him and said, “Is it any of your business?”

Zhang Hengzhi laughed and said, “Okay! I’ll let you be arrogant! Don’t walk alone at night, be careful of falling bricks from the sky. Haha…”

Yang Chen smiled disdainfully and called the police.

This scared Zhang Hengzhi’s underlings.

Zhang Hengzhi quickly comforted them, “With me here, what are you afraid of? It’s not like we won’t pay compensation, we just want the court to make a judgment before we pay.”

Wang Qianni smiled disdainfully and said, “You’re really smart! If it goes to court, it’s not just about paying money. Whoever smashed the car will be sentenced. Although this car isn’t expensive, the damage will definitely exceed 5,000 yuan, which constitutes a criminal offense. You guys are following him; you’re definitely going to jail.”

Zhang Hengzhi’s underlings panicked.

“Young Master Zhang, we only smashed his car because we were listening to you. You must protect us.”

“Yes! I have elderly parents and young children. If I’m sentenced, my family will be ruined.”

“Young Master Zhang, if the police come to arrest us, quickly say you’ll pay compensation, don’t let it go to court.”

…

Zhang Hengzhi was exasperated and said, “Alright, alright! Damn it, can I count on you guys for anything? A few words and you’re scared like this; you’re really a bunch of good-for-nothings. Besides eating, drinking, and having fun, what else can you do?”

Since it wasn’t him being sentenced, he could stand there and talk without feeling any pain.

At this moment, Zhang Long finished his call and walked up to Yang Chen, saying, “My dad said it’s no problem; he can lend them money to help them out. But the annual interest will be calculated at the bank’s commercial loan rate +1%. We’ll sit down and discuss the specific details tomorrow.”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “As long as Wang Qianni’s family receives your loan, I’ll agree to Tianmu’s investment in Peninsula.”

“Okay! Go talk to Wang Qianni and tell her to have her dad bring someone to our company tomorrow morning before nine o’clock to discuss the details,” Zhang Long said.

Yang Chen smiled and patted Zhang Long on the shoulder, then turned and walked towards Wang Qianni.

As Yang Chen walked, he took 800 yuan from his wallet and stuffed it directly into her hand.

Wang Qianni looked confused and asked, “What’s this for?”

“Miss Wang, tell your dad to go to Tianmu Investment before nine o’clock tomorrow morning to discuss the loan. President Zhang of Tianmu has agreed to lend you money. You guys can discuss it; I won’t interfere. However, I want 800 [yuan] for a night with you. Are you willing?” Yang Chen replied with a smile.

Wang Qianni excitedly pounced on Yang Chen, wrapped her legs tightly around his waist, kissed him hard, and said, “I’m willing! You coward, you finally figured it out! I thought my long legs couldn’t attract you!”
