How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 225

Yu Shishi quickly greeted her alumni.

“Hello everyone, sorry, I drove slowly and I’m late.”

Zhang Shuang quickly came up and pulled Yu Shishi, saying, “You’ve become even more beautiful in just a few months. Is this your boyfriend?”

Yang Chen was about to say that he didn’t need to pretend to be her boyfriend anymore because Liang Tao already knew his identity.

However, Yu Shishi was too quick and immediately replied, “Yes! My boyfriend is Yang Chen, handsome, right?”

Zhang Shuang smiled and greeted Yang Chen, saying, “Hello, Mr. Yang. I’m Shishi’s classmate from MIT. My name is Zhang Shuang. Nice to meet you.”

Yang Chen: “Hello, Miss Zhang. Pleased to meet you.”

Zhang Jiacheng and Liang Tao stood up.

Zhang Jiacheng: “What a coincidence, to meet you here.”

Yang Chen: “I also think it’s quite a coincidence. I didn’t expect you to be the senior brother Shishi mentioned. Did MIT only teach you to welch on bets?”

Liang Tao: “Yang Chen, didn’t you say last time that you wanted to bankrupt my River Fishing? Take action! We are not only living well, but also expanding many stores. If you don’t do it, we will be listed soon.”

Yang Chen put his arm around Yu Shishi and sat down, smiling, “Don’t worry! I’m just waiting for the opportunity. When the time is right, I will bankrupt you. Come on, sit down.”

Yu Shishi quickly asked, “Do you know Zhang Jiacheng and Liang Tao?”

Yang Chen briefly explained it to her.

Yu Shishi nodded, got up and said, “Then let’s go. Originally, I came to the party to find some talents for the company. Since you have such a conflict with them, I don’t think it’s necessary to look for them. These people all listen to Zhang Jiacheng. We don’t need to waste time. Besides, even if they are willing, I wouldn’t trust them.”

After speaking, Yu Shishi forcefully pulled Yang Chen to leave.

Yang Chen got up and asked, “Is there really no one you want to see?”

Yu Shishi glanced at Zhang Shuang, and said, “Just Zhang Shuang, I’ve already seen her, that’s enough. Let’s go.”

Yang Chen nodded and left with Yu Shishi.

Zhang Shuang quickly stepped forward to pull Yu Shishi, but her attitude was very firm. This party was organized by Zhang Jiacheng, and most of the others followed his lead. Since he had a grudge against Yang Chen, she felt it was unnecessary to stay.

Seeing that she couldn’t persuade Yu Shishi, Zhang Shuang had no choice but to give up and watched her and Yang Chen leave.

The private room instantly became quiet, and the atmosphere was very awkward.

Just now, everyone was encouraging Zhang Jiacheng to work harder to win Yu Shishi, but who knew that he didn’t even have a chance to speak. Yu Shishi was even unwilling to attend the party he organized because of Yang Chen.

A big embarrassment!

Since they had already come to Tang Court, they might as well have dinner here.

Yang Chen asked Tan Hongkai to call the chef over to cook for Yang Chen and Yu Shishi in person.

Yu Shishi said very regretfully: “Sir, I’m sorry, I didn’t know about the grudges between you and them, otherwise I would have refused to come.”

Yang Chen smiled and said, “It’s my fault. I didn’t tell you about these things. It has nothing to do with you. Try this iron plate squid; is it better than the ones outside?”

Yu Shishi nodded and quickly picked it up with a fork and started eating.

After all, it was cooked by the head chef of a Michelin three-star restaurant, so the taste would definitely not be bad.

Yu Shishi praised it and was very satisfied.

At this time, Tan Hongkai came over and said to Yang Chen, “Boss, the guests in Box 206 also want to order Chef Chen to cook for them. What do you think?”

Yang Chen: “Just say that Chef Chen is serving Mr. Yang and Miss Yu, and we won’t let him go. They will definitely add money. You can handle it. When it’s almost enough, you can let Chef Chen go.”

Tan Hongkai smiled and nodded, and said, “I understand what you mean; I will go and communicate with them now.”

Yu Shishi: “Isn’t that their private room? Why should we give it to them?”

Yang Chen: “We are in business; why not make money if we can?”

Yu Shishi: “Hehe… that’s right.”

At this time, in Box 206.

Tan Hongkai said with an apologetic face: “Dear guests, I’m really sorry. Chef Chen is serving Mr. Yang and Miss Yu in Box 201. The two of them are unwilling to let Chef Chen come over. They seem to be very hostile to you, and I dare not offend them. So…”

Zhang Jiacheng was immediately furious and said, “Go and call Chef Chen to me; I will add a service fee! I will give double whatever they give.”

This trick really worked. Yang Chen had already calculated Zhang Jiacheng’s actions accurately.

Tan Hongkai gritted his teeth and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Yang guessed that you would add money. So, he directly raised the price to 100,000, and said that he would not give it to you no matter who he gave it to. I don’t know what kind of grudges you have, but he gave a service fee of 100,000, I… hehehe… I’m sorry, please understand.”

Liang Tao: “Damn it, isn’t this deliberately trying to make us look bad? Does he just have more money? He is just the boss of a newly established investment company. People who don’t know would think that he can already compete with Jiacheng Investment. Brother Cheng, how about this, let’s each pay 100,000 to save face, and we must get Chef Chen over here.”

Zhang Jiacheng sneered and said, “I don’t need your money. I, Zhang Jiacheng, haven’t fallen to the point where I need to share this little money with others. Manager Tan, I will pay a service fee of 300,000 to book Chef Chen until 10 o’clock when we close.”

At this time, Chef Chen’s assistant came and said, “Manager Tan, Mr. Yang said that no matter how much service fee the guests in this private room offer, he will add 100,000 more. You don’t need to waste time here.”

Zhang Jiacheng slammed the table angrily, got up and went to 201, and the others quickly followed to support him.

“Yang Chen, what do you mean? Are you deliberately provoking us?” Zhang Jiacheng asked angrily.

Yang Chen: “I want Chef Chen to serve me, and you also want Chef Chen to serve you, so it depends on your ability. How can you say I’m provoking you? What’s wrong? You are not willing to pay, but you won’t let me pay? If you can’t afford it, get out. What are you pretending to be at Tang Court?”

Liang Tao: “Yang Chen, don’t be too arrogant! What are you being arrogant about with your little money? When will your Xingchen Investment be able to be on par with Jiacheng Investment before you come and show off. However, I don’t think you will have this opportunity in your life!”

Others smoothed things over and told Zhang Jiacheng to forget it. It’s not like they have to have the chef cook in person. It’s okay to have other chefs cook and send it over.

However, Zhang Jiacheng felt that the problem now was not about cooking or not, but about the matter of face between him and Yang Chen.

When rich people are happy or angry, they can shout “All the expenses tonight will be paid by Young Master Zhao”, which is something ordinary people cannot understand.

Although they are all MIT graduates, Zhang Jiacheng is the young master of an investment company, Liang Tao is the chairman of River Fishing, and the others are all working for others, so they cannot understand Zhang Jiacheng and Liang Tao’s thoughts.

Zhang Jiacheng gritted his teeth and said, “This is too much! If I swallow this, I will quit! Chef Chen, stop cooking, I will pay 500,000, and give you a personal bonus of 100,000, and leave with me immediately!”

Chef Chen stopped what he was doing and looked at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen glared at Zhang Jiacheng and said, “You’re throwing money around, right?”

Zhang Jiacheng smiled triumphantly: “What’s wrong, can’t I? Didn’t you say that no matter how much I give, you will add 100,000 more? Come on, let me see if you dare to add 100,000.”

Yang Chen: “Are you out of your mind? You’re giving so much service fee just to snatch the chef from me?”

Zhang Jiacheng: “That’s right! I just want to snatch the chef from you, are you not convinced? Add money!”

Yang Chen: “Add your sister! I’m not as stupid as you.”

Zhang Jiacheng: “Haha… what are you pretending to be if you don’t have money? I thought you were really so generous, and you would add 100,000 no matter how much I gave. Shishi, he is just a pretender, you have to open your eyes and see clearly. You know I have always liked you; as long as you leave him now, the future hostess of Jiacheng Investment will be you. Think about it carefully, you can call me anytime. Chef Chen, let’s go, don’t waste time here with poor people.”

Yang Chen deliberately pretended to be very angry, which made Zhang Jiacheng and others very happy.

After Chef Chen left, Yang Chen and Yu Shishi smiled at each other.

After a while, another chef came to cook for Yang Chen and Yu Shishi.

Although he was not a Michelin three-star chef, his skills were also good.

Yang Chen and Yu Shishi ate and chatted, and before they knew it, it was almost ten o’clock.

The two even felt a little hungry again and wanted to eat supper.

At this time, Zhang Jiacheng and others came again.

“Haha… you haven’t left yet. You can eat quite a lot for this meal. Chef Chen’s skills are really good. Next time I come, I want him to cook for us in person. Is everyone satisfied with the meal?” Zhang Jiacheng mocked.

The others immediately laughed loudly and replied: “Satisfied!”

Liang Tao followed closely and mocked: “That’s right, a three-star chef is not for you to serve. You only deserve to find a chef to deal with it.”

Yu Shishi stood up angrily and said, “Have you had enough? You feel superior just because you had a meal?”

Liang Tao: “Isn’t that so? A three-star chef serves us, and he only deserves a small chef to serve him. Shouldn’t we feel superior?”

Yu Shishi: “Humph! That’s because my dear is generous. If he were stingy, he would have kicked you out.”

Everyone laughed.

Zhang Jiacheng: “He kicked us out? Shishi, do you have a wrong perception of his strength? What qualifications does he have to kick us out?”

Liang Tao: “Wait until he builds up Xingchen Investment, and then talk about kicking us out. You think too highly of him.”

At this time, Tan Hongkai brought Chef Chen over.

“Everyone, I’m sorry, please make way!” Tan Hongkai said with a smile.

Zhang Jiacheng and others made way, and Tan Hongkai led Chef Chen into the private room.

Tan Hongkai handed the daily sales report to Yang Chen and said, “Mr. Yang, this is today’s sales report, please take a look.”

Yang Chen took it and flipped through it casually, and said, “How is business today?”

Tan Hongkai turned to look at Zhang Jiacheng and others who were full of doubts, and then replied: “Thanks to Mr. Zhang and others for contributing 1.08 million, today’s sales are nearly one million more than usual. Oh, by the way, what should we do with the 100,000 bonus that Mr. Zhang said he would give to Chef Chen?”

Yang Chen: “Since Mr. Zhang named Chef Chen, he must give it to Chef Chen. Chef Chen, remember to thank Mr. Zhang.”

Chef Chen quickly bowed to Yang Chen and thanked him, “Thank you, boss.”

Then he turned around and smiled at Zhang Jiacheng and said, “Mr. Zhang, thank you for your bonus; I will accept it. Remember to order me next time.”

Zhang Jiacheng and others’ faces changed drastically.

“What did you call him just now?” Zhang Jiacheng asked.

Chef Chen: “Boss! Don’t you know that he is the new owner of our Tang Court?”

“New owner!” Zhang Jiacheng and Liang Tao exclaimed in unison.

The others were also shocked and unbelievable.

So, Zhang Jiacheng was tricked?

Yang Chen deliberately lured him to add money to invite Chef Chen to cook, and he spent 600,000 in vain?

Yu Shishi snorted coldly and said angrily: “Now you believe what I said just now, right? If my dear was not in a good mood, you would not be able to eat here at all. The only Michelin three-star restaurant in Hai City, from now on, you can’t come here whenever you want, understand? Who doesn’t deserve it, do you understand now?”

Liang Tao said loudly: “Impossible! How could he be the new owner of Tang Court? What evidence is there?”

Tan Hongkai said with a smile: “The legal person has been changed to Mr. Yang; you can check it online.”

Liang Tao couldn’t accept this fact, so he quickly checked it online. The legal person of Tang Court Catering Company did change recently, and the current legal person is indeed Yang Chen, and he is 100% wholly-owned.

Zhang Jiacheng, who was very satisfied with the meal just now, now felt as disgusting as eating maggots.

Yang Chen returned the sales report to Tan Hongkai and said, “Not bad, work hard, and give you more year-end bonuses at the end of the year.”

Tan Hongkai: “Understood! Thank you, Mr. Yang.”

Yang Chen: “You should thank Mr. Zhang; the 600,000 he spent today is enough for your year-end bonus.”

Tan Hongkai: “Haha… yes, yes, yes, thank you Mr. Zhang; I can have a good year this year, all thanks to Mr. Zhang’s generosity.”

Zhang Jiacheng suddenly felt a breath stuck in his chest, and then he gasped for breath, unable to speak.

Damn it, don’t die here.

Tan Hongkai quickly urged Liang Tao and others to send him to the hospital to see a doctor, in case there is any problem, don’t blame Tang Court.

Liang Tao and others hurriedly carried Zhang Jiacheng out and sent him to the hospital.

Yang Chen and Yu Shishi happily went home to sleep.

The next morning, Yang Chen did not go to drive immediately after eating breakfast.

At 7:50, Shunfeng Express [SF Express, a Chinese delivery services company] delivered a package.

After Yang Chen signed for it, he quickly opened it. Inside were the acquisition documents of Minghai Medical Center, land deeds, etc., and a box of keys. The box said that these were the keys to open some safes.

Some valuable documents, such as bidding records, and more precious cultural relics are stored in the safe.

Yang Chen put these things in his bag and said to Yu Shishi, “Shishi, let’s go, accompany me to visit an art museum.”

Yu Shishi quickly ran out of the kitchen and replied: “Okay, I’ll be right there, wait for me for a moment.”

Yang Chen called Qiu Yuhong and asked him to take his son Qiu Tian to Minghai Art Museum to visit together later.

At 9:30, Yang Chen and Yu Shishi arrived at Minghai Art Museum first.

There was only one old man in charge of guarding the art museum.

This old man did not have a key. Usually, only Guo Minghai came over, and he could follow him in to take a look and do cleaning work together.

Yang Chen revealed his identity, and the old man excitedly held Yang Chen’s hands and said, “You are the new owner who acquired the art museum from Mr. Guo! Hello, my name is Wang Wangdu, and I have been watching the art museum for Mr. Guo for 20 years.”

Yang Chen nodded with a smile and said, “Then Mr. Wang must be very familiar with this place. I will have to continue to trouble you to watch over it for me in the future, so that I can rest assured.”

Wang Wangdu nodded happily and said, “As long as the new owner doesn’t dislike it, I can watch it until I die.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… I can’t ask for more if the old gentleman can continue to watch it for me; how can I dislike it.”

At this time, the Qiu family and his son arrived.

Yang Chen immediately took out the key and opened the gate of Minghai Art Museum.

If you don’t count the small square in front of the door and the surrounding small garden, and only calculate the area occupied by the art museum alone, it is about 30*30=900 square meters [approximately 9688 square feet].

However, the art museum has a total of six floors, and the actual usable area is still very large.

If all six floors are used, it is definitely not a problem to display tens of thousands of works of art.

According to Guo Minghai’s plan, he hopes that the new owner can display different types of artworks on the six floors separately.

For example, the first floor displays porcelain, the second floor displays gold and silver products, jade and jadeite [a type of ornamental stone], the third floor displays calligraphy and paintings, the fourth floor displays ancient books…

And each category should be subdivided according to the dynasty, and each dynasty should be subdivided according to different categories.

For example, the porcelain floor is divided according to the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and then subdivided according to Jun kiln [a type of Chinese pottery], Ding kiln [another type of Chinese pottery], etc.

When all six floors are filled, I hope the new owner can open it to student groups to visit.

Guo Minghai spent his whole life collecting more than 8,000 collections; the purpose is to let the descendants of the Dragon Kingdom [China] see the things left by their ancestors here in the future, instead of buying air tickets to fly to foreign museums to visit.

History cannot be changed, but the future can still be created by oneself.

Thanks to his efforts, Minghai Art Museum has a wide variety of collections, and some are very valuable.

For example, this blue and white porcelain is a large blue and white porcelain from Jingdezhen [a town in China known for its porcelain production] during the Zhizheng period of the Yuan Dynasty. Guo Minghai spent 56 million Euros to bid it back from France.

For example, next to it are some classical furniture, golden nanmu [a type of precious wood], mahogany, sandalwood, huanghuali wood [another type of precious wood], etc.

Everything is available. A table and a chair cost millions. These are much more expensive and more cultural than those big-name furniture.

Even, there is a Qianlong dragon robe [a robe worn by the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty] in the art museum. If it weren’t for the fact that wearing dead people’s clothes is unlucky, Yang Chen could put it on and experience what it feels like to be an emperor.

From these collections alone, Guo Minghai is indeed a very thoughtful person.

However, the outside world’s evaluation of Guo Minghai is mixed.

Those who praise him think that he has dedicated his life to Minghai Technology, helped the country achieve great achievements in the field of chips, and used the money he earned to buy back stolen cultural relics from all over the world. His life is definitely worthy of praise.

Those who belittle him are just talking about his private life. He has never married or had children in his life, but he doesn’t even remember how many women he has had.

While visiting the art museum, while listening to Wang Wangdu’s introduction to Guo Minghai, Yang Chen suddenly wanted to go to the hospital to see this legendary figure.

Yang Chen said to Qiu Yuhong and Qiu Tian: “You two take a good look and comprehensively upgrade the security system here. Not even a fly, a mouse, or a Qiu Ying [referencing a famous painter, implying no forgeries either] can freely enter and exit here.”

Qiu Yuhong: “Understood! Mr. Yang, don’t worry, our Aegis Security Group is absolutely professional in this regard; I will definitely make Mr. Yang satisfied and assured.”

Qiu Tian: “Brother Chen, if you have something to do, go and do it; leave it to me and my dad here.”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Old Wang, let’s go to the hospital to see Old Guo.”

Wang Wangdu nodded, quickly changed into clean and tidy clothes, and went to the hospital with Yang Chen and Yu Shishi.

Soon, they met Guo Minghai.

Guo Minghai’s condition was very serious. He used to be awake for several hours a day, but now he may only be awake for a few minutes a day.

However, it may be because Wang Wangdu has been with Guo Haiming for more than 20 years, and the two have an unusual relationship.

Seeing Wang Wangdu’s tearful appearance, Guo Minghai suddenly woke up.

“Adu, why are you here? Who are these two?” Guo Minghai asked.

Wang Wangdu quickly replied: “Sir, this is Mr. Yang Chen, the new owner who acquired Minghai Art Museum, and this is his friend, Miss Yu Shishi.”

Guo Minghai excitedly got out of bed and shook Yang Chen’s hand, looked him up and down, and said, “You are the new owner of Minghai Art Museum. Haha… that’s great, that’s great, the young man is very handsome, and he looks like a dragon among men [an idiom meaning outstanding person]. With the art museum in your hands, I think I can rest assured; I will have no regrets even if I die tonight.”

Yang Chen: “Old Guo looks very energetic; accept treatment well, and you will definitely get better. I listened to Old Wang’s introduction to you, and I am very interested in you, so I came to see you specially.”

Guo Minghai smiled and replied: “No, I have been holding on for 12 years, and the doctor said that this is the limit, and I may leave at any time. Now I may not be awake for a while a day, and it is too painful to live. But I can’t bear this colorful world, and I still have a lifelong dream that has not been realized, and I don’t want to die. Yang Chen, can you continue my dream? Be sure to find back as many national treasures circulating overseas as possible, so that our descendants can see the things of our ancestors at home without buying air tickets to go abroad. We used to be poor and weak, and could not resist the great powers. We are strong now, and we will definitely become stronger in the future. We must take back all the lost things. Okay?”

Looking at Guo Minghai’s tearful eyes and his sincere eyes, Yang Chen was instantly infected.

When there is too much money, it is actually just a string of numbers.

If you can really find all the national treasures back, it will definitely be a great thing for future generations.

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Yes, I promise Old Guo that I will continue your dream. I will definitely take back as many things from our ancestors as possible!”

Guo Minghai laughed and said, “Good, good, good. Haha… with your words, I have no regrets even if I die.”

Saying that, Guo Minghai frowned and looked Yang Chen up and down, and then asked: “Child, do you know a person named Yang Qingshan?”

Yang Chen’s eyes suddenly widened and he asked excitedly: “Old Guo knows my dad?”
