How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 215

Zhang Yuanyuan saw Yang Chen off at the company gate.

“Brother Chen, thank you. If you hadn’t helped me, I would have been so upset this time,” Zhang Yuanyuan said with a smile.

Yang Chen laughed and said, “That’s because you’re so cute, and I like you. The Hai Shang Financial Building is my property, and the diet of the thousands of people inside is very important. You have to help me keep an eye on it in the future, and there must be no problems with the food, you know?” Zhang Yuanyuan immediately puffed out her chest and said, “Brother Chen, don’t worry, I promise to focus on the food supply of the Hai Shang Financial Building and ensure that there will be no problems with hygiene and safety.” Yang Chen nodded with satisfaction and said, “Okay! Go back to work. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can directly find Tang Hao. I will tell him to take care of you. As long as your company wants to do the Hai Shang Financial Building project, he will definitely listen to us. You don’t have to endure being bullied, you know?” Zhang Yuanyuan was so moved that tears flowed out. She stepped forward and hugged Yang Chen, saying, “Brother Chen, thank you. I knew that meeting you today would be a happy day. Go, drive safely.”

Yang Chen nodded, got in the car, and left. Zhang Yuanyuan watched his car disappear before turning around and returning to the company.

On the surface, Yang Chen helped Zhang Yuanyuan for no reason, but he gained an insider to control the food supply, which is a considerable gain.

The diet of thousands of people—if there’s even a slight mistake, the building will suffer. In fact, if he weren’t worried that those white-collar workers couldn’t afford overly expensive meals, contracting the cafeteria to Qiao Jiangnan would be the safest option.

However, Qiao Jiangnan’s dishes are relatively expensive. It’s fine for treating guests to dinner, but white-collar workers definitely can’t afford to eat there daily, which isn’t realistic. He could only find a lower-end catering company from outside to be responsible.

Yang Chen drove to the intersection ahead and waited for the traffic light. Two girls trotted across the road. At that moment, an electric tricycle turned left and ran a red light, knocking one of the girls down and flipping her over. However, the electric tricycle didn’t stop but directly accelerated and fled.

The girl who was hit was lying on the ground, covering her neck. It seemed she had twisted it when she flipped over.

Her companion quickly chased after the tricycle. The traffic lights changed. Yang Chen stepped on the gas and made a U-turn to chase the electric tricycle, forcing it to stop about two hundred meters away.

The girl’s companion caught up breathlessly and grabbed the electric tricycle driver.

“You ran a red light, hit someone, and then ran away. What do you think you’re doing?” the girl questioned. The driver, an older man, replied in a panic, “I… I thought she was okay.”

“You ran a red light and hit someone! Whether she’s okay or not, shouldn’t you get out of the car and take a look?” the girl retorted.

The man immediately started crying and said, “I’m scared. I can’t afford to pay. I have an old mother and two sons at home. I really can’t afford it.”

“I don’t care if you can afford to pay or not. You ran a red light and hit someone, so wait to go to jail!” the girl exclaimed.

Yang Chen quickly intervened, “Okay! Stop scaring him. Uncle, admit your mistake properly. If it’s not serious, I can help you. While the traffic police haven’t intervened yet, go and apologize to the injured person and ask her to settle privately.”

The man nodded and quickly drove the electric tricycle back to the injured girl.

Then, he knelt in front of the girl and apologized. *Alas*… it seemed he was genuinely in a difficult situation. If he had any other option, he wouldn’t kneel down and kowtow [a deep bow showing respect] to beg for mercy.

I have to admit that kneeling down and kowtowing is the last resort for the poor. If that doesn’t work, they might risk their lives.

At this time, someone next to him actually blamed Yang Chen.

“It looks like he’s a poor person. This driver is also something else, chasing him back after he ran away.”

“Misfortune never comes singly. It’s so pitiful. I don’t know how much money he’ll have to pay this time. How will his family live?”

“That’s right, so many people didn’t move, but he desperately chased after him, showing off. A man in his fifties is kneeling down and kowtowing to a girl in her early twenties. It’s so pitiful.”

But Yang Chen had just said that if it wasn’t serious, he would help the man.

*What are the values of these people?* No matter how pitiful he is, he has to take responsibility for hitting someone. Yang Chen couldn’t help but complain: “You guys say it so nicely. If he hit you, would you not pursue it? You’re all so loving; donate money to compensate this lady now. What’s the use of just standing and talking without experiencing it yourself? You’re just keyboard warriors [people who express opinions online, often aggressively] on the Internet and hype kings [people who exaggerate situations] in reality, right?”

That group of onlookers didn’t speak.

Yang Chen stepped forward and said, “Miss, I’ll take you to the hospital. Uncle, follow me; don’t run away. I said if it’s not serious, I can help you. But if you run away, the situation will change. There’s no excuse for a hit-and-run. Understand?”

The man nodded and quickly got on the electric car to prepare to follow.

Yang Chen didn’t drive immediately but stared at the injured girl for a moment. This made the girl embarrassed, and she lowered her head, blushing.

Her companion immediately said, “Handsome guy, if you want to flirt with a girl, shouldn’t you go to the hospital first? Do you think she’s in the mood to flirt with you now that she’s in pain?”

Yang Chen smiled awkwardly, turned his head, and drove to Longmei Hospital.

In fact, Yang Chen was observing whether the girl’s injury was serious. After all, he’s also a doctor and can judge her injury.

The girl’s neck was just over-bent, and there was no major problem. On the contrary, several wounds on her body were more serious. If not treated properly, they would leave scars.

Scars are simply a nightmare for girls. No girl can accept having several scars on her body.

If the situation isn’t serious, Yang Chen will take her to Longmei Hospital for treatment, which won’t cost much. If the situation is serious, then Yang Chen will have to take her to a regular hospital.

Yang Chen is willing to help the man, but he can’t help with hundreds of thousands or even millions, right?

Ten thousand yuan is okay, and Yang Chen doesn’t care about that small amount with his current wealth. Soon, Yang Chen took the person to Longmei Hospital.

The injured girl quickly said, “Mister, let’s go to another hospital; he definitely can’t afford it here.”

Her companion added, “Wow, I see that you’re so handsome, but I didn’t expect you to be so cold-hearted. If you take us here, he’ll go bankrupt with just a little treatment, right?”

Yang Chen: “No matter how much it costs, I’ll bear it, as long as you don’t pursue his responsibility. This is the hospital with the highest medical standards in Longguo [China]. I just saw that you have several abrasions on your body. If you don’t treat them well, if you leave scars, won’t that delay you from finding a boyfriend? Let’s go.”

The two girls were immediately ashamed. They had judged a gentleman with the heart of a villain and completely misunderstood Yang Chen’s intention.

The injured girl couldn’t help but show an admiring smile when she looked at Yang Chen’s back as he got out of the car. The female companion also praised, “This guy is quite considerate. If he wasn’t a ride-hailing driver, even if he was just an ordinary white-collar worker, I would want to pursue him. *Alas*… it’s a pity. How much does a ride-hailing driver earn a month? There’s no insurance or anything, and there’s no future at all. It’s a pity; he’s wasting his potential.”

The injured girl replied with an admiring look, “No, I think he’s very good. You can earn money if you don’t have money, but if a person isn’t good, he’ll never change in his life.” Yang Chen came to the consultation desk, and the two young nurses immediately stood up excitedly.

The two bowed to Yang Chen and said hello.

“Hello, Mr. Yang.” Yang Chen nodded and said, “A girl was hit by an electric car here. Her neck is slightly injured, and there are multiple abrasions to her limbs. Please give her a number. I’ll go buy milk tea and treat you to it.”

“No problem!”

“Mr. Yang, you’re the best!” Yang Chen smiled and nodded, then turned to the injured girl and said, “You can follow their arrangements. I’ll go out and buy milk tea. What flavor do you want to drink?”

Injured girl: “Anything is fine. Thank you.”

Companion: “Brother, you’re really good at flirting. I want pearl milk tea, a little hot.” Yang Chen nodded and said to the man again, “Don’t be afraid; find a place to rest.” The man nodded.

Yang Chen went out to buy milk tea and asked the clerk to send 30 cups, all placed at the consultation desk.

“Wow, Mr. Yang, you’re so generous!”

“Mr. Yang, I’m still single; would you consider me? I have big hips, and the old people say I’m good at giving birth, and I can definitely give you several sons.” Yang Chen said with a smile, “I have many women; are you sure you want to live a life of palace intrigue? Wait until you’ve thoroughly studied ‘The Legend of Zhen Huan’ [a popular Chinese TV drama about concubines in the imperial court] before coming to me. Distribute the milk tea to others; I’ll go up and take a look.” Yang Chen came upstairs with a few cups of milk tea.

Soon, the injured girl had her wound treated. The X-ray results wouldn’t be available until tomorrow, so she had to stay there for one night.

*Alas*… it’s really a way to make money. The room fee alone costs thousands of yuan a night. Yang Chen gave the man a look, and the man understood and quickly stepped forward to apologize to the injured girl.

The girl quickly said, “Uncle, get up. The doctor said I’m fine, and taking the X-ray is just in case. I see that it’s not easy for you, so I won’t pursue your responsibility. But you must remember not to run red lights in the future. If you make a mistake again, don’t run away; face it bravely. Remember?”

Man: “Yes, I remember, I remember. Then, miss, have you forgiven me?”

The girl didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and said, “Yes! I forgive you!” The man nodded gratefully and turned to kneel down and kowtow to Yang Chen again.

Yang Chen quickly stopped him and said, “Okay! Go; remember to obey traffic rules in the future. If you don’t understand, just see if there are any cars driving in the direction you want to go. If there are cars driving, you can follow them. If there are no cars driving, you stop. You won’t always be so lucky. If something like this happens again next time, you’ll go bankrupt and won’t be able to afford it. Understand?”

Man: “I understand, I understand. From now on, I won’t dare to run red lights again. I’ll leave you my number. If there are any serious follow-up problems, you can call me, and I’ll take care of it myself.” Yang Chen nodded, added the man as a friend, and then waved his hand gently to signal him to leave.

The man bowed deeply to Yang Chen, wiped his tears, and left. Yang Chen had paid the money, so there was no reason to waste time.

“You can stay here with peace of mind. I’m going to drive and pick up passengers,” Yang Chen said.

The injured girl quickly asked, “What’s your name? My name is Zhou Rui.”

Yang Chen: “Yang Chen.”

Zhou Rui: “Then can I add you as a friend? When I get better, I’ll treat you to a meal to express my gratitude.”

Yang Chen: “No need! It’s just a chance encounter; no need to eat.” After saying that, Yang Chen left.

Companion: “Wow, he’s so arrogant! Our beautiful Zhou wants to treat him to dinner, but he’s so arrogant that he actually refused?”

Zhou Rui felt a little sad but smiled and said, “But I think that’s what makes him so admirable. If it were someone else, they would definitely agree, but he actually refused—so unique.”

Companion: “Sister, you wouldn’t have fallen in love with him, would you? This is a bit outrageous, too fast. It’s only been less than two hours since we met; don’t tell me you fell in love with him at first sight.”

Zhou Rui: “Go! Don’t talk nonsense. Help me to the ward quickly.” The companion nodded and helped Zhou Rui to the ward.

After settling Zhou Rui, the companion went out and called Zhou Rui’s father, Zhou Hai. She reported the whole incident to Zhou Hai in detail and also said that Zhou Rui might have taken a liking to the kind-hearted driver who did what was right.

When Zhou Hai heard this, he panicked. *What?* The little cabbage he had raised for 23 years was about to be taken by a wild boar who had only known her for less than two hours?

That wouldn’t work. It’s normal for the little cabbage to be taken when it grows up, but you have to figure out which family the wild boar is from and what the wild boar’s character is like.

Zhou Hai quickly took his wife to Longmei Hospital. After understanding the situation, Zhou Hai asked the hospital to call Yang Chen and ask him to come over now.

Yang Chen was picking up passengers and rejected the call. After the passengers got off, Yang Chen called the hospital and learned what was going on before he went over.

Soon, Yang Chen came to Zhou Rui’s ward, led by the nurse. Zhou Hai shook hands with Yang Chen with a smile and thanked him: “Young man, thank you. I’ll reimburse you for the medical expenses later. This has nothing to do with you. It’s very good that you could send Rui Rui for treatment. I can’t let you pay for it anymore.”

Yang Chen: “I’m not paying; I’m covering the medical expenses for that man. Mr. Zhou, what do you want me to come over for?”

Zhou Hai: “It’s like this: my daughter likes you. Here is a 100 million check; you accept the check, and you’ll be my Zhou family’s son-in-law in the future. We only have one daughter, Rui Rui. As long as you treat Rui Rui well, our family’s billions of assets will be yours in the future.” Zhou Rui’s mother, Wang Li, also said with a smile:

“Young man, don’t misunderstand; we sincerely want you to be our son-in-law, and we don’t mean to humiliate you.” Zhou Rui quickly covered her face and said, “Dad, Mom, what are you doing? This kind of thing can’t be forced; it’s about fate.” After saying that, she buried her head in the quilt.

It’s normal for girls to be a little shy, but she didn’t refuse, which means she really wants to develop a relationship with Yang Chen.

The nurses next to her were stunned. Billions of assets and a beautiful girl—Mr. Yang shouldn’t be able to resist such temptation, right?

Zhou Hai thought to himself: “Rui Rui wants to add you as a friend, but you refused. Now that I’ve revealed my family background, if you agree, it means you’re completely here for the money. Then don’t even think about getting close to Rui Rui; I’ll drive you away no matter what.”

Billions are indeed a lot of money, but to this day, Yang Chen will never marry someone he has no feelings for just for the sake of money.

In terms of asset background, aren’t Xue Yinong and Tang Xia much stronger than this Zhou Rui? Yang Chen still has feelings for them, so why choose a Zhou Rui with no feelings?

So, Yang Chen quickly replied: “Mr. Zhou, thank you for your offer, but I’m just a ride-hailing driver, and I’m used to a free and ordinary life. If you really gave me billions of assets, I definitely wouldn’t be able to adapt. Miss Zhou is very beautiful, and your family is well-off; you’ll definitely be able to find a boy who is a hundred times better than me.” The ward was silent. *What kind of admirable character is this*, giving up a beautiful woman and billions of assets that are offered to you?

Zhou Hai and Wang Li both smiled, their eyes full of appreciation. But Zhou Rui was sad, and she was already a little tearful in the quilt.

Although she did have a bit of love at first sight for Yang Chen—that is, what everyone calls love at first sight—her parents had already offered her family property, and Yang Chen still refused. She felt that she had no attraction at all and was even so worthless that billions of assets couldn’t compensate for it.

Zhou Hai: “Young man, don’t be coy, and don’t play the trick of playing hard to get. There’s only this one chance. If you don’t accept it, even if you and Rui Rui get together in the future, I won’t leave all the family property to you. Then you’ll lose billions.”

Yang Chen smiled confidently and said: “Mr. Zhou, you’re overthinking it. Every word I say comes from the bottom of my heart, and there’s no trickery. Since you’re here, I’ll return the money in the card, and you can recharge it yourself. I have to go drive and pick up passengers; goodbye, everyone!” After saying that, Yang Chen turned and left.

Zhou Rui quickly lifted the quilt and shouted: “Brother Chen, can you leave a phone number?” Yang Chen didn’t turn his head and waved his hand smartly.

Everyone looked at his tall back and cast admiring and respectful glances. In the world, how many people can face beautiful women and billions of property without being moved?

Yang Chen can do it, and he can leave without taking anything, and he doesn’t even leave the other party his contact information.

Zhou Rui’s tears fell uncontrollably, and then she threw herself into her mother’s arms. Wang Li gently patted her daughter’s back and comforted her: “Rui Rui, don’t cry, don’t cry. This kind of thing can’t be forced. We have such good conditions; we can find someone better.”

Zhou Hai: “Hehe… this kid is a bit interesting. The more unwilling he is, the more I want him to be my son-in-law.” *Oh, why are the brains of rich people so strange?*

*Why are they rushing to force people to be their son-in-law?* Hearing what her father said, Zhou Rui stopped crying immediately.

In Zhou Rui’s opinion, Yang Chen is a perfect man. He’s handsome, has an outstanding temperament, is strong, has a straight posture, is clean, tidy, mature, stable, gentle, kind, not greedy for money, and not lustful. She can’t find any faults.

If she misses such a perfect man, she’ll spend her life in regret. … Yang Chen happened to pass by a restaurant by the river, so he parked and walked in.

Facing the river, the lights are flashing, which is definitely a good view in the city. It’s also a good way to enjoy the evening to eat hot pot in this environment.

While he was eating comfortably, a girl dressed very fashionably walked over while broadcasting live.

“Babies, this is Linjiang Waterfront. Let me show you the scenery. The front is the Huangpu River. Isn’t the light on the river very beautiful? It costs a little over a hundred to eat a hot pot here, which is very cost-effective. Ah, thank you, Brother Bai, for the romantic fireworks. Ah, thank you, Brother Mu, for the private jet. Wow, thank you, Brother Long, for the carnival. Heart, heart, *mwah* [kissing sound].” The anchor was very flirtatious with the fans.

To be honest, this kind of scene is only suitable for eating quietly and enjoying the river view. Suddenly, someone comes and chatters, and the atmosphere is destroyed all at once.

However, Yang Chen never takes the initiative to cause trouble. Although he also felt that the female anchor’s chatter destroyed the atmosphere, he still endured it. After all, it was a public place, and he couldn’t tell people not to speak.

But some people don’t think so, and they really can’t stand this anchor.

“Are you kidding me? I’m eating quietly and enjoying the river view; how can she speak so loudly?”

“*Alas*… another online beggar, always ‘this brother,’ ‘that brother,’ flirting and asking for gifts, not creating any economic value, purely a social parasite.”

“*Alas*… many young people don’t go to work now; they just want to be online celebrities and make big money. If this continues, what hope does our country have?”

“Waiter, come here!” … The female anchor was chatting with fans.

“In order to broadcast outdoors for everyone, I came out in such cold weather. Babies, remember to like me! Wow, thank you, Brother Long, for the carnival! Love you! Heart! Heart! Wow, thank you, Brother Mu, for Douyin No. 1! Love you! *Mwah*!” The waiter came over and said softly: “Beauty, I’m sorry, can you keep your voice down? We mainly pursue a quiet atmosphere here. You’re so noisy, which has destroyed the atmosphere and disturbed other customers. Thank you for your cooperation; please don’t be so noisy, okay?” People who often go online know that some online celebrities are particularly arrogant.

This female anchor has more than 1 million fans, so she’s considered a big or small online celebrity, so naturally she doesn’t take a waiter seriously.

Female anchor: “Babies, I’m being bullied. I brought everyone to patronize this store in such cold weather, which can be regarded as promoting them, right? But their waiter actually drove me away, saying that I’m not welcome here. I… little sister is so sad; how can they do this?” The waiter was frightened and quickly explained: “No, no, no, I didn’t mean that. I just wanted you to be quiet; I didn’t mean to drive you away.”

But the female anchor blocked the microphone, so the fans in the live broadcast room couldn’t hear what the waiter said at all.

Then, the female anchor pointed the camera at the waiter, scaring the waiter into covering her face quickly.

“Look, she’s the one who drove me away. I came to eat, just sat down, just chatted with you a few words, and she looked down on me and wanted to drive me away. They also said that I’m an online beggar, not creating economic value, just begging for food online. I don’t steal or rob; I sing and dance, I do outdoor live broadcasts, I do everything. They only see me receiving gifts but automatically ignore my efforts. What’s wrong with being an anchor? Everyone knows me; I haven’t done anything harmful. Why look at me with prejudice? *Wuwu* [crying sound]…” Under the female anchor’s interpretation, a group of fools in her live broadcast room desperately swiped gifts.

Carnivals and other valuable gifts were given one after another. In just a short while, this anchor earned at least tens of thousands of yuan.

No wonder she wanted to slander the waiter; the fans just eat this up.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry; I’ll swipe a few carnivals to comfort you.”

“Huizi, don’t be cowardly. With the Huijia Army as your backing, you don’t have to be afraid of anyone.”

“What a trash restaurant; have you forgotten the fate of a certain Zhou banquet? They don’t want to stay in business anymore!”

“Let the boss come out and apologize; otherwise, we’ll send wreaths to them tomorrow to see if they still want to open it.”

… The female anchor saw that this trick worked well, so she might as well strike while the iron is hot and make the play more complete so that this group of idiots can send more gifts.

So, she picked up her phone and shook it and shouted at the same time: “Oh, what are you doing? Don’t grab my phone! Don’t grab it! Ah!” The phone fell to the ground, and she quickly picked it up again and quickly pointed the camera at her chest and shouted: “Don’t grab it! Don’t grab it! I’ll go! Can’t I go? *Wuwu*… I’m leaving, can’t I? *Wuwu*… Bullying people…” Then she covered the microphone; no matter what others said, the fans couldn’t hear or see it anyway.

I have to say, her acting skills are really in place. The fans swiped gifts again and at the same time sent barrages to express their anger.

“Too much! This is too arrogant, bullying people too much!”

“I’ve already taken a screenshot. I already know what the trash waiter looks like. Wait, I’ll find a friend to find her; I must let her know why the flowers are so red [a threat].”

“Brothers and sisters of the Huijia Army, if this restaurant can continue to open, everyone in the live broadcast room today is responsible!” … The boss ran out to chase after her, pulling the female anchor and said: “Beauty! Don’t go! Don’t go!” The female anchor quickly pulled her arm back hard and shouted: “What? You still don’t want me to go! Do you want to detain me? This is illegal!” After shouting these words, she pretended to be fighting with someone for her phone and accidentally exited the live broadcast in the chaos.

Then, she showed a smug smile. The boss was stunned by her performance. But in this Internet age, whoever has more traffic counts. Fans and netizens don’t care what the truth is; they only believe what they see. The boss understood this too well, so he quickly said: “Beauty, don’t mess with us. Small business; we can’t stand the trouble.”

The female anchor smiled and said: “Okay! I’ll give your Miguo [a review platform] a review first.”

“This store is so scary. My friend said that he ate worms and rat droppings here. I didn’t believe it, so I came here to try it. Who knew that I had just sat down when I went in, just because I was an anchor, they drove me away for no reason. Let’s go; the boss also blocked me and asked me to give them a good review so that my fans wouldn’t hate them. I just want to say, you think too much. I must expose the true face of this store even if I die.” The boss quickly opened Miguo and saw this review; he instantly despaired…
