How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 231

Yang Chen quickly patted Yuan Xiaozao, who was overwhelmed with emotion. If they kept showing off like this, more couples would start arguing.

Yang Chen drove his JAC and followed Yuan Xiaozao’s BMW Z4 into the residential area.

Seeing Yuan Xiaozao park her car, Yang Chen prepared to leave.

However, Yuan Xiaozao ran over and dragged him into her house, directly pushing him into her bedroom to “practice opera.”

Yang Chen’s body was too strong, and it was over an hour later when they finished their… practice.

Yuan Xiaozao felt refreshed and radiant and quickly got up to make lunch.

Yang Chen took the opportunity to nap for a while, and when he woke up, lunch was ready.

Yuan Xiaozao made a large table of dishes, and the two of them happily ate together.

After lunch, Yuan Xiaozao reluctantly sent Yang Chen out to drive, and she hurried back to write new plotlines.

She was now writing Yang Chen’s character entirely based on real-life events.

“To make it easier for An Ruoxi to get to work, our domineering CEO Chen bought a BMW Z4 to give to her. However, Chen knew that An Ruoxi’s personality would definitely not allow her to accept the car, so he organized an employee lottery and rigged it so she would win the car. Chen once said that love only occupies 10% of his life, but that 10% can be 100% given to An Ruoxi…”

At that moment, Yuan Xiaozao was inspired, and she wrote over 10,000 words of plot in one afternoon and posted it on the website.

Soon, readers responded.

“Author, can you please write Chen as the main character? You’ve given him the best descriptions, and the male lead, Gong Junyi, seems too weak in front of Chen.”

“Where can I find a boyfriend like Chen? I also want a man who gives his 10% to me 100%.”

“I’m done for. I’ve always been a fan of Gong Junyi, but since Chen’s character came out, I’m completely indifferent to him. My heart is all on Chen. Author, is this Chen your real-life boyfriend? Otherwise, how could you describe him so realistically and vividly?”

“I’m a Chen-Xi [Chen and An Ruoxi] CP fan. It’s not that the male lead is bad, but he seems too weak in front of Chen. Author, if An Ruoxi ends up with the male lead, it would be too much of a protagonist halo. If it really doesn’t work, just do a dual male lead, or have an open ending where An Ruoxi doesn’t choose the male lead or Chen. That would make me feel better.”

…

Yuan Xiaozao couldn’t help but want to reply after reading the readers’ comments.

So she posted a comment using her alternate account.

“I’m a friend of the author. I’m secretly telling everyone that Chen is indeed based on her real-life boyfriend. Xiaozao is transferring her experiences with her boyfriend to Chen and the female lead in the book. That’s why everyone thinks Chen’s character is so likable, because he is a real-life domineering CEO, of course, he’s likable.”

Soon, Yuan Xiaozao’s comment on her alternate account became popular in the book review section, and other readers rushed to leave comments and discuss it.

“Author, please release a tutorial on how to find such an excellent boyfriend.”

“The author has a domineering CEO boyfriend and her writing is also popular. She’s a true winner in life.”

“I’m done for. I foolishly gave the author a few hundred yuan in tips, and now I feel like I’m a complete…”

After some emergency treatment, Zhang Jiacheng’s condition finally stabilized.

Zhang Jiacheng: “Dad, I’m sorry, I misjudged.”

Zhang Zhengjun: “It’s okay, it’s okay… No one can succeed in every investment. Dad has failed many times too. It’s okay, it’s okay. Just focus on getting better. Don’t worry about the company’s affairs.”

After comforting his son, Zhang Zhengjun hurried back to the company to deal with things.

Jiacheng Investment had invested 3 billion in Helilao, and now that Helilao was about to go bankrupt, the other shareholders came to Zhang Zhengjun to demand an explanation.

3 billion! He had confidently guaranteed his son’s investment in Helilao, and now this happened so quickly. He had to give the shareholders an explanation.

His son’s illness was already enough to worry Zhang Zhengjun, and these shareholders were still chattering, which completely angered him.

“I’ve made so much money from previous investments. Which of you hasn’t taken hundreds of millions from me? Now it’s just one failure, and you’re all so agitated? Why didn’t you say to give me a share when I was making money? Now that I’m losing money, you all want me to give you an explanation! Who the hell can guarantee that every investment will be successful? Can you? I’ll give you the money, and you guarantee that every investment will make money, okay? Okay!” Zhang Zhengjun roared.

The shareholders also knew about Zhang Jiacheng’s situation and understood Zhang Zhengjun’s mood at this time, so they didn’t argue with him.

But now that such a big thing had happened, they had to find a way to remedy it, right?

Zhang Zhengjun reassured them: “It’s okay, our other investments are going smoothly. Once the funds are recovered, we can make up for the losses from Helilao. At worst, I’ll personally compensate a little more money into the company. I definitely won’t let you suffer losses. I just hope that when we encounter difficulties, everyone can stand with me, instead of praising Chairman Zhang when we make money and then yelling for me to give you an explanation when we lose money!”

The shareholders looked embarrassed, seemingly aware that their behavior was indeed a bit excessive.

“Chairman Zhang, I’m sorry, we were indeed a little anxious just now.”

“We were just saying it, we will definitely stand with Chairman Zhang.”

“Yes! We will definitely stand with Chairman Zhang through thick and thin.”

…

However, things were far from over.

It was too early to express their position now.

After a while, the secretary rushed in and said, “Chairman Zhang, bad news. The 8 companies we invested in that are preparing to go public, and the 12 companies that are already listed, have all been exposed for illegal and disciplinary behavior. Tax evasion, transferring assets of listed companies, misappropriating funds, and even financial fraud, insider trading, etc. All the problems have solid evidence, with no room for rebuttal. We’re done for. Someone is targeting us from behind, not leaving us any way out.”

Zhang Zhengjun stood up excitedly and said, “What? How could this happen? Let me see!”

The secretary quickly presented the compiled news materials in the form of a PPT for everyone to see.

When everyone saw the solid and accurate evidence, their hearts turned cold.

Take the misappropriation of public funds by Xinzhou Jinye as an example. The bank accounts, names, transfer paths, etc., were all clear, with no possibility of quibbling.

This stock was exposed for inflating profits back in 2015.

After the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) penalized it, the stock price fell to 1 yuan. Zhang Zhengjun bought in at the bottom in time, and now it has a floating profit of 3 times.

However, Xinzhou Qiming Star Asset Management Company, the major shareholder of Xinzhou Jinye, secretly transferred Xinzhou Jinye’s funds to other companies and used Xinzhou Jinye’s assets to illegally guarantee and mortgage funds for its other companies.

This is a typical case of harvesting *jiǔ cài* [韭菜, literally means chives, but in this context, it refers to small investors who are taken advantage of], transferring the money of listed companies to other companies.

This kind of thing is too common in the A-share market and has been repeatedly prohibited.

Anyway, if caught, they will be fined 600,000 yuan. As long as they are not delisted, they have a chance to turn around, so the major shareholders are not afraid.

Even if some companies are lucky enough not to be delisted in the end, their stock prices must be suppressed in the 1 yuan zone and unable to recover.

At this time, Zhang Xiang and Qiu Yuhong had already begun to contact relevant officials of the CSRC, using whatever connections they could to ensure that Jiacheng Investment had no chance to fight back.

Now the shareholders couldn’t bear it anymore.

“What exactly is going on? Who did you offend?”

“Isn’t it obvious that someone is targeting us? All the black material of all the companies we invested in has been dug up. There’s nothing more targeted than this.”

“Chairman Zhang, it’s not right for you to blame us for asking you to give us an explanation now. Our investments are also real money. We can’t just be completely trapped in confusion.”

“Yes, Chairman Zhang, you must give us an explanation.”

…

Zhang Zhengjun now realized how terrifying Yang Chen was, completely beyond his imagination.

Now he finally understood what Yang Chen meant when he said that sentence.

“I hope you will still have money for medical expenses in the future.”

At that time, Zhang Zhengjun thought it was ridiculous. As the chairman of Jiacheng Investment, even a small amount of pocket money would be more than five million. How could he not afford medical expenses?

Now he finally understood that Yang Chen had already made a plan to target Jiacheng Investment, to make the Zhang family bankrupt and unable to take out a single penny.

Zhang Zhengjun turned around and ran back to his office, quickly calling his wife.

“Wife, immediately move all the antiques and calligraphy in the house, find someone to sell them, but you must have them converted into US dollars and put into our Swiss bank account. There’s no time to explain, you must be fast!”

Zhang Zhengjun knew that there was no hope of turning things around now. He could only let his wife take more property abroad as soon as possible to treat his son, while he stayed behind to face everything.

Even if he was forced to death, it didn’t matter, as long as his wife and son could live well abroad.

The shareholders were knocking on the door outside, yelling for Zhang Zhengjun to come out and solve the problem, thinking that hiding would make things go away.

Zhang Zhengjun took a deep breath, walked over, and opened the door.

The shareholders immediately rushed at him, demanding an explanation.

Zhang Zhengjun signaled everyone to be quiet and then said calmly, “Don’t worry, everyone, I will take responsibility. If the money cannot be recovered, I will sell my property to compensate everyone’s losses.”

He would stabilize the shareholders first and then let his wife take his son abroad to settle down.

However, what he could think of, Yang Chen could naturally think of as well.

As soon as Zhang Zhengjun’s wife moved the antiques out of the house, she was photographed, and the information about the plane ticket she bought was also found out, and then it was all exposed.

“Jiacheng Investment Chairman Zhang Zhengjun is preparing to cover his wife and son’s escape, leaving himself alone to resist; his life is only worth one, pity the investors’ funds all go down the drain.”

As soon as this news came out, the angry shareholders immediately applied to the court to freeze all of Zhang Zhengjun’s family’s assets, including bank deposits, equity investments, houses, cars, antique collections, etc.

Subsequently, these angry shareholders blocked Zhang Zhengjun’s family in the hospital ward.

“Zhang Zhengjun, you are too ruthless, deceiving us to stabilize us while letting your wife and children escape, you are really good at playing!”

“Zhang Zhengjun, I’m telling you, if my money can’t be recovered, I’ll fucking kill you!”

“Whoever makes me lose everything, I’ll fight them to the death! At worst, no one will have a good time, don’t think that you can use a rotten life to offset the real money we can’t recover!”

…

At this time, Yang Chen came with the director of the hospital, Chen Changqing.

“Yo, so many people are visiting Young Master Zhang today! Young Master Zhang, you are so lucky,” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Zhang Jiacheng excitedly wanted to get out of bed, but his parents stopped him.

“Yang Chen, you did all of this, didn’t you! It’s okay if you want to mess with our family, but why did you implicate so many shareholders? They are innocent! All their money is trapped, how can you bear it!” Zhang Jiacheng deliberately provoked.

Obviously, he still didn’t admit defeat at this time and wanted to provoke the shareholders to turn their anger towards Yang Chen.

Yang Chen nodded and said, “That’s right, I did it. However, isn’t that because you offended me that I did this? Everyone, let me introduce myself. I am Yang Chen, a major shareholder of Shield Security Group, a one-third shareholder of Longmei Hospital Group, a one-third shareholder of Zhang San Law Firm, a major shareholder of Haiya Atlantis Hotel, a two-thirds shareholder of Peninsula Hotel…”

Yang Chen said all of his assets at once, not to show off, but to suppress these shareholders, so that they would obediently aim their anger at the Zhang family, instead of turning it towards him.

When the shareholders heard that Yang Chen was so powerful, they were all afraid to speak.

Chen Changqing said with a smile: “Zhang Jiacheng, you said that you knew that Mr. Yang was so powerful and still deliberately opposed him, aren’t you deliberately disregarding the interests of the shareholders? You knew what the consequences would be if you opposed Mr. Yang, but you still did it behind the shareholders’ backs, what are your intentions? You want to kidnap the shareholders to deal with Mr. Yang with you? How innocent are the shareholders, they were confused and dragged into the water to oppose such a powerful person as Mr. Yang. Tsk tsk tsk… Your family is really rotten to the core!”

After listening to Chen Changqing’s analysis, the shareholders were furious and immediately stepped forward to beat Zhang Jiacheng.

Zhang Zhengjun and his wife quickly protected their son with their bodies and shouted for help.

This was Longmei Hospital after all, and they couldn’t really let the shareholders cause trouble here.

Chen Changqing quickly shouted to stop the shareholders and warned, “Don’t do anything here, or we will call the police.”

The shareholders threatened.

“Zhang Zhengjun, if you really dare to play this kind of thing, I will never let you go!”

“Compensate us honestly, even if we lose a little in the end, we will accept it. But if you want to cover your wife and children’s escape, and you use a rotten life to play tricks on us, then you are wrong.”

“We’re not going anywhere, we’ll just guard at the entrance of the hospital and see how you escape.”

…

Just as the shareholders were about to leave, the people from the bank came.

Bank *fù zé rén* [负责人, person in charge]: “Since you are all here, the 2.5 billion funds that Jiacheng Investment mortgaged from our bank must be repaid as soon as possible, otherwise we will have to dispose of your mortgaged properties and equity.”

Zhang Zhengjun quickly said, “Vice President Li, give me some time, I will definitely be able to handle it.”

Bank *fù zé rén*: “Chairman Zhang, our bank is very clear about your company’s current situation. More than 90% of your investments have problems. Even if you can solve them, it won’t be a matter of months or years. We can’t take such a big risk, and we can’t give you so much time to deal with it. According to the contract, if your party has funding problems, our party has the right to dispose of all your mortgages three days after notifying you. Let’s follow the agreement. If you pay back the money within three days, we will return the mortgages to you. If you can’t pay back the money, then we can only dispose of your mortgages. As you all know, the auction price of our bank will definitely be lower, and it may not be enough to repay the principal and interest, and you will have to supplement some more. Our party has fulfilled its notification obligations, and all subsequent responsibilities will be borne by your party. In addition, we have applied to the court to freeze the private property of Jiacheng Investment and all shareholders. We apologize for any inconvenience caused to you. But we are also very helpless, I hope you understand.”

After speaking, the people from the bank left.

The shareholders who had just calmed down became agitated again.

“Zhang Zhengjun, what do we do now? Our assets will also be frozen, we are all implicated by you!”

“You used Jiacheng Investment’s assets to solve personal grievances, why didn’t you tell us in advance? We can’t bear this loss, you must bear it all alone.”

“That’s right! You deliberately invested 3 billion in Helilao to compete with Haililao in order to oppose Mr. Yang, you must take full responsibility!”

…

There is a saying called “The winner is king, the loser is *kòu* [寇, bandit].” Zhang Zhengjun and Zhang Jiacheng didn’t dare to say a word now.

Yang Chen stretched and said, “Oh, this financial drama is really good. Zhang Jiacheng, I told you last time that I hope you can afford the medical expenses at that time. Right? Dean Chen, how much does Young Master Zhang’s medical expenses cost?”

Chen Changqing: “It’s about 5 million. Not much, they can owe the bank 2.5 billion, so how can they care about this mere five million.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… that makes sense. Young Master Zhang, good luck. Be low-key in your next life, don’t dare to bite anyone you see.”

After speaking, Yang Chen turned and left.

Zhang Jiacheng stared blankly at Yang Chen’s back, not daring to say a word.

Yang Chen had already set up the stage, and the rest of the play was left to the bank, the shareholders, and Jiacheng Investment’s customers to cooperate with the Zhang Zhengjun family to sing.

…

A pleasant day starts with driving a car to pick up passengers.

After sending a cross-district passenger, Yang Chen passed through the tunnel and returned.

At this time, he saw a middle-aged uncle walking along the tunnel wall, little by little; it was obvious that he was very afraid of the passing vehicles.

Yang Chen quickly turned on the turn signal to change lanes to the right side and then turned on the hazard lights to remind the cars behind him that his car had “problems,” and then stopped in front of the uncle.

“Get in! I’ll take you out!” Yang Chen shouted.

The uncle stared blankly at Yang Chen, without moving.

Yang Chen quickly shouted, “Uncle, get in the car, I’ll take you out. This tunnel is several miles long, it’s too dangerous for you to walk out.”

The uncle replied humbly, “I… I don’t have money.”

Yang Chen: “I’m going the same way, no money needed. I have to use gas whether I take you or not, I won’t ask you for money.”

The uncle nodded and got into the car.

“Little brother, thank you,” the uncle said.

Yang Chen saw that he was disheveled and his accent was not local, so he asked, “You’re welcome, I’m going the same way. Uncle, how did you get into the tunnel? It’s too dangerous here.”

The uncle: “I’m not a local, I didn’t know this was a tunnel. After walking in and finding out it was a tunnel, I thought I could just walk forward and maybe get out, but I didn’t expect it to be so long. My son was abducted twenty years ago. Half a year ago, the trafficker who abducted my son was caught. According to him, he sold my son to a family in Haicheng back then, so I came to find him. But Haicheng is too big, I’ve been looking for more than three months and haven’t found him.”

Yang Chen subconsciously looked back at the uncle, whose face was full of vicissitudes.

At this time, the uncle’s stomach *gū lū lū* [咕噜噜, rumble] rang; looking at his thin appearance, it was estimated that he hadn’t eaten well or slept well in the past three months.

Yang Chen: “Are there any other clues?”

The uncle: “No. I only know that he sold my son to a family in the Beizha District of Haicheng. Because it’s been so long, he has long lost contact with that family and has forgotten the appearance and names of that family.”

It happened twenty years ago; it was indeed a bit difficult.

Yang Chen: “Then you came to find him without any other clues; how is it possible to find him?”

The uncle: “I know, but I still have to come, otherwise I feel like I’m sorry for my son. I failed to protect my son like other fathers; this is my biggest failure. I’ve been looking for him for twenty years, and now is the closest I’ve been to him; even if I can’t find him, I have to come. I have to die here; this is the closest place to him.”

Damn, it makes people want to cry early in the morning.

Yang Chen blinked his eyes, not letting the tears flow down.

“Then do you have any photos of your child?” Yang Chen asked again.

The uncle: “Yes! I have his hundred-day photo and a photo of him cutting his *biàn zi* [辫子, braid] at the age of ten!”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “I’m a little hungry, uncle, will you accompany me to have breakfast, and I’ll ask my online car-hailing brothers to help search the whole city later. Okay?”

In fact, Yang Chen had already eaten a nutritious breakfast made by Yu Shishi early in the morning. He was just worried that the uncle would be embarrassed to accept his breakfast, so he said that on purpose.

The uncle nodded quickly and replied, “Okay, okay. Thank you, little brother, if I can find my son, I will have no regrets in this life. I will be a *niú zuò mǎ* [牛做马, work like a horse]; my life is yours, you can ask me to do anything. I don’t have money to thank you, but I have this life.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… If I can find your son, it will also be a good deed for me; I don’t ask you to repay me. If I can’t find your son, you don’t need to thank me either. We’re out of the tunnel, let’s find a place to eat now.”
