How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 233

The Arrogant Foreigner Harasses Lin Yiren

The New Year was approaching, and my cousin Li Xiaofei was also on vacation.

This girl had fallen in love with life in Haicheng and didn’t want to go home to spend the New Year with her mother.

So, Yang Chen simply went to Sucheng and brought his aunt over.

Yu Shishi had also been busy for several months without a break, so Yang Chen gave her a two-day vacation in advance to allow her to go home and reunite with her family.

For the past ten years, Yang Chen had always celebrated the Spring Festival with his aunt and cousin.

In the past, he would go to his aunt’s house in Sucheng, but this year was the first time he celebrated at his own home.

During the Spring Festival holiday, Yang Chen created the script for “Lost and Found.”

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, he resumed work and took the script to Uncle Liu.

Yang Chen adapted the script based on Uncle Liu’s experiences, so some descriptions might be inaccurate, or the priorities might be mixed up.

Uncle Liu provided many suggestions for revisions based on his personal experiences and feelings.

Yang Chen quickly wrote them down and made the corresponding revisions according to Uncle Liu’s reminders.

On the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Chen brought the tangyuan [sweet glutinous rice balls] made by his aunt and came to Uncle Liu again, giving him the refined script to review.

After reading it, Uncle Liu said it was excellent. Even though it was all based on his personal experiences, he was deeply moved after reading it.

This was just a draft script, and before it was finally put into production, professional screenwriters would definitely need to revise it based on the needs and characteristics of film production.

Now the question was, who should play the role of Liu Dakuan?

Because according to Yang Chen’s vision, this was a public welfare film, and all box office revenue would be donated to the Red Cross and other related charities to help families who had lost their children find them. Yang Chen’s company would not take any box office revenue.

This meant that however much money was invested in the film, Yang Chen would lose that much, so he definitely wanted to save as much as possible.

The actor playing Uncle Liu had to be influential enough, otherwise it wouldn’t have a promotional effect, but being influential also meant high pay, which contradicted Yang Chen’s original intention of saving as much as possible.

This matter couldn’t be rushed, so he would take his time.

…

Recently, his energy had been focused on the script, and Yang Chen hadn’t been driving much.

Now he had to work hard and pick up more passengers.

Around ten o’clock one night, Yang Chen picked up an uncle who was going from Mingcui Workshop to the Oriental Pearl Tower.

Yang Chen followed the usual procedure of verifying the last four digits of the phone number and reminding the uncle to fasten his seat belt.

The uncle snorted and said, “I feel hot and don’t want to fasten my seat belt.”

Yang Chen: “Uncle, if you don’t fasten your seat belt, you’ll be fined if the traffic police catch you.”

The uncle impatiently replied, “Fine! Fine! Fine! Let them fine me! I’ve already lost three million today, do you think I care about fifty yuan?”

Yang Chen understood why he was acting like he had swallowed gunpowder. It turned out he had lost three million at Mingcui Workshop.

Mingcui Workshop is a well-known jadeite rough trading place in Haicheng, which is actually the kind of place often seen in online novels with gambling stone plots [where people bet on uncut jade, hoping to find valuable gems inside].

Because not everyone can run to mines in South Myanmar and other places to gamble on stones, some impressive people have set up such places in big cities for players to enjoy.

This uncle could lose three million at once, so it seemed the stone he had his eye on was very tempting.

Yang Chen: “Uncle, don’t get excited. I have fulfilled my obligation to inform you. If you really get caught by the traffic police, don’t blame me.”

Uncle: “Oh, it’s just fifty yuan, right? I’ll give it! You don’t have to take responsibility, okay? Just drive properly, I’m annoyed, don’t talk to me.”

Yang Chen was too lazy to argue with such a person and focused on driving.

However, since the Spring Festival had just passed, the roads were being checked more strictly, and before long, Yang Chen’s car was stopped by the traffic police.

Yang Chen slowed down and pulled over, reminding, “Uncle, quickly fasten your seat belt! The traffic police are checking!”

The uncle was probably in a bad mood because he had lost three million and replied, “No need, I have already prepared fifty yuan, let them check if they want.”

Damn, wasn’t this deliberately causing trouble?

Yang Chen pulled over, and the traffic police officer quickly checked the situation inside the car.

“Hello, please cooperate. Driver’s license, and blow into this. Who is the passenger in the back, and why isn’t he wearing a seat belt?” the traffic police said.

Yang Chen handed over his driver’s license and replied, “I am a Didi driver [ride-hailing driver], and he is my passenger. I reminded him to fasten his seat belt, but he just wouldn’t do it, so there’s nothing I can do.”

After speaking, Yang Chen blew into the breathalyzer.

The traffic police returned his documents and then went to the back to knock on the window and ask the passenger to get out and receive legal education.

In fact, the traffic police officer was doing the right thing. Seat belts are the same whether you wear them or not if nothing happens, but if something does happen, there is a real difference between wearing one and not wearing one. The law also wants everyone involved in traffic to be safe.

Cooperating and fastening the seat belt would solve everything.

But this uncle was acting like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water [unmoved by threats or consequences], and no matter how much they tried to persuade him, he wouldn’t fasten his seat belt.

If he didn’t want to fasten it, then so be it. Now the traffic police officer was asking him to get out of the car to cooperate with legal education, which wasn’t too much to ask.

Hey, he actually threw out fifty yuan directly, saying, “Alright, I know I violated the law, here’s fifty yuan for you. I’m in a particularly bad mood right now, so hurry up and let him take me home. Okay?”

Damn, it was this kind of behavior that would piss off even an ordinary person, let alone the traffic police officers who were checking for drunk driving late at night. He was not only provoking the traffic police but also provoking the laws of Dragon Country [China].

The result was predictable. He was forcibly dragged out and given a stern lecture, and he obediently picked up the money and apologized to the traffic police officer.

In the end, the traffic police officer gave him a legal education for as long as half an hour and fined him 500 yuan before letting him leave.

Yang Chen was also speechless, and he had to listen to half an hour of legal education.

Starting again.

Yang Chen complained, “Uncle, you didn’t need to do that. Fastening your seat belt takes a few seconds, but we wasted more than half an hour.”

Uncle: “Damn! What are you babbling about? Isn’t the meter still running? It won’t cost you less money, so stop being so long-winded. You’re just a ride-hailing driver, what makes you think you can lecture me?”

Yang Chen smiled and didn’t say anything else.

Soon, Yang Chen took the uncle to his destination.

After he got out of the car, Yang Chen sent a message to the bodyguard following behind.

“Teach this old bastard a lesson, just say I did it, but don’t leave any evidence.”

Afterward, Yang Chen drove home.

A few seconds later, the Didi platform reminded Yang Chen that he had received a bad review.

“Nothing went smoothly tonight, and I can’t let you have it easy either!”

This review was amazing, and Yang Chen was speechless.

At this time, the system issued a reminder.

“Congratulations, Master, for receiving a bad review. The system rewards Master with [Bian He’s Jade Selection]. Master can choose to study the book slowly or have the system directly help Master master it.”

Who was Bian He?

The famous Heshibi [a legendary jade disc] in history was discovered by him.

Legend has it that this guy found a stone on Jing Mountain and saw that it contained a peerless jade.

So, he wanted to flatter the king and presented it to King Li of Chu.

After King Li of Chu had someone appraise it, they determined that it was just an ordinary mountain stone. Bian He was deceiving the king, so they directly had his left kneecap removed.

Later, King Li of Chu died, and King Wu of Chu ascended the throne. Bian He went to present the treasure again.

After King Wu of Chu had someone appraise it, they also determined that it was just an ordinary mountain stone. Good guy, they directly removed Bian He’s right kneecap as well.

Later, King Wu of Chu also died, and King Wen of Chu ascended the throne.

Bian He had already had two kneecaps removed and didn’t dare to present the treasure again. He cried at the foot of Jing Mountain for three days and three nights, and his tears dried up, and he even cried blood.

King Wen of Chu sent someone to ask him why he was crying like this. Bian He said that because no one recognized the treasure, he felt very sad.

King Wen ordered someone to open the stone, and there was indeed a beautiful jade inside, which was the Heshibi that left a strong mark in history.

I don’t know if there was something wrong with Bian He. Why didn’t he let the first two kings open the stone to see when they asked? He had to have two kneecaps removed before opening it when the third king ascended the throne.

In any case, this legend illustrates one thing, that Bian He was good at selecting jade. Others thought it was just an ordinary mountain stone, but he could see that there was a beautiful jade inside.

If that uncle had this book, would he have lost three million?

He would have selected all the stones with jade in Mingcui Workshop.

A horse doesn’t get fat without night grass, and a person doesn’t get rich without unexpected wealth [idiom meaning unexpected gains lead to wealth].

It seemed that the system wanted Yang Chen to sweep through Mingcui Workshop.

Yang Chen now needed to make a choice. If he wanted the book, it would mean that he would have to spend several years, or even a lifetime, to comprehend it, and once he had the book, it would mean that this kind of peerless skill could be leaked.

So, after careful consideration, Yang Chen chose to directly master it.

System: “Received Master’s instructions, please wait.”

Numerous images of stones and beautiful jade appeared in Yang Chen’s mind, as well as a figure observing the stones in various poses.

After a few seconds, everything returned to normal.

Yang Chen was in a good mood and planned to find an opportunity to go to Mingcui Workshop to play and see if Bian He’s jade selection experience would work at this time.

Just as Yang Chen arrived home, Didi customer service called him.

Customer service: “Master Yang, a passenger just called to complain, saying that you had someone beat him up. Is this true?”

Yang Chen: “Huh? No, is there a mistake? What time was the order?”

Customer service: “It was your last order.”

Yang Chen: “No! I just got home and haven’t gotten out of the car yet. You can check the surveillance, I didn’t have anyone beat him up. That uncle wasn’t a good person, he lost three million gambling and confronted the traffic police. Who knows who his enemies are? You can’t blame me just because he got beaten up, I’m so innocent.”

Customer service: “Okay. Then I know how to handle it. Sorry for disturbing you so late. Have a good rest and wish you a happy life.”

Yang Chen: “Okay.”

Hanging up the phone, Yang Chen happily whistled as he got out of the car and went inside.

…

Since being promoted to chief purser, Lin Yiren had been extremely busy. In addition to having to fly abroad for duty, she also had to train flight attendants.

According to her, she didn’t want her colleagues to gossip behind her back that Yang Chen had made her chief purser without considering her abilities. She wanted to prove that she was truly capable of holding the position of chief purser.

However, she was, after all, a person of flesh and blood, and her body definitely couldn’t withstand such high-intensity work for a long time.

So, after flying back from the United States this time, she used up all the days off she had saved during the New Year to take a good rest.

Lin Yiren sent Yang Chen a message in advance, asking him to pick her up at the airport at 5:30 p.m. tomorrow.

Wang Jia Yi and others all had cars, and Lin Yiren couldn’t be left behind.

Yang Chen didn’t favor anyone and didn’t neglect anyone, so he would buy Lin Yiren a BMW Z4 as well.

Yang Chen sent a WeChat message to salesperson Zhang Yunyun.

“Prepare a red BMW Z4 for me tomorrow when you go to work, with the same configuration as before.”

Zhang Yunyun was about to go to bed, but when she saw Yang Chen’s message, she immediately sat up excitedly, startling her roommates.

Because the housing prices in Haicheng were too expensive, the rent for a room was more than a thousand a month.

The company paid to rent two three-bedroom apartments and converted them into dormitories.

It wasn’t easy to work away from home, and squeezing together was better than spending an extra thousand yuan on rent every month.

So, even the top salesperson Zhang Qin lived in the dormitory, waiting to save enough money to buy a house before moving out.

“Yunyun! What are you doing? Why are you so excited! Did a boy confess to you?”

“You scared me, I thought you were going to fall down.”

“So excited so late at night, is it your heat?”

“Haha…”

“Chen Yu, lend your boyfriend set to Yunyun to use, she’ll wash it clean and return it to you.”

“Haha…”

“What are you joking about? How can such private things be shared?”

Zhang Yunyun was speechless and quickly replied, “Hey, don’t talk nonsense. The big brother who bought eight BMW Z4s from me last time sent a message saying he wants to buy another red BMW Z4 and told me to prepare it for him when I go to work tomorrow morning.”

The colleagues who were joking just now instantly fell silent.

Regret, regret, how did they let Zhang Yunyun get such a good deal?

This was a big tycoon, and it seemed he would be buying BMW Z4s from Zhang Yunyun for a long time.

“Wow, Yunyun, you’re so lucky to have met such a wealthy client.”

“My God, Yunyun, you can secure your job with just this one client. If he buys a BMW Z4 from time to time, you’ll be taking off.”

“Listen to your sister’s advice, be sensible, you have to secure such a client, and you have to give when it’s time to give.”

“Hey, our Yunyun is still a virgin, don’t teach her bad things.”

“Is it true? I’ll check if she’s a virgin.”

“Haha…”

Zhang Yunyun: “Hey, stop it. I have to reply to the boss.”

Everyone else was joking with Zhang Yunyun, but Zhang Qin remained silent, feeling very uncomfortable.

She had always been the top salesperson in the store, and the only time she had failed was when Yang Chen bought eight Z4s from Zhang Yunyun at once.

She was praised by her colleagues every day, but suddenly someone stole her spotlight for a month, and she felt very upset.

So, on the surface, Zhang Qin didn’t react, but she hated Zhang Yunyun very much in her heart.

“I must find a way to snatch such a client over,” Zhang Qin thought to herself.

Zhang Yunyun quickly replied to Yang Chen.

“Okay, Brother Yang, I’ll prepare it for you when I go to work tomorrow morning. Have a good rest and see you tomorrow.”

Zhang Yunyun was very happy and put down her phone to sleep.

After finishing the morning rush hour, Yang Chen went to the BMW 4S store.

Halfway there, Zhang Yunyun called Yang Chen, saying that the store had sent her out to do something, and Zhang Qin would be receiving him later.

Yang Chen didn’t care as long as he could get the car.

In fact, this was Zhang Qin’s conspiracy. She deliberately lured the manager to send Zhang Yunyun away so she could approach Yang Chen.

The order was still counted under Zhang Yunyun’s name, so she didn’t think much about it and left.

Yang Chen arrived at the 4S store, and Zhang Qin was waiting at the door. As soon as she saw him, she ran over to greet him.

“Mr. Yang, hello. Yunyun has something to do temporarily, so I’ll be receiving you,” Zhang Qin said with a smile.

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Is the car I wanted ready?”

Zhang Qin: “It’s ready. I’ll take you to see it now.”

Yang Chen: “No need to look, let’s test drive it directly. If there are no problems with the car, we’ll sign the contract.”

Zhang Qin nodded and quickly drove the car out, accompanying Yang Chen on the test drive.

Even though it was so cold, Zhang Qin was wearing Balenciaga, and she deliberately pulled her hip-hugging skirt up a bit to show off her legs as much as possible.

However, her efforts were in vain, and Yang Chen didn’t even look at her.

Yang Chen drove the car all the way, and when he was turning, he needed to shift gears. Just as his hand reached over, Zhang Qin’s legs leaned over. Wow, this detail was perfect, a small action with a hundred intentions.

Yang Chen touched the gear lever, and at the same time, Zhang Qin’s leg touched his hand.

In the past, male customers would understand at this time, and the bolder ones would directly touch her leg, while the less bold ones would know what she meant, and they would go out for a meal to cultivate their relationship, and then everything would happen naturally.

Yang Chen quickly said, “Move over there a bit, you’re hindering me from shifting gears.”

Zhang Qin was stunned for a moment, then nodded awkwardly and quickly moved towards the car door.

In fact, it wasn’t necessary. If she didn’t succeed the first time, she should have known that Yang Chen was a man she couldn’t seduce, so why bother with this kind of thing?

After driving around and returning to the 4S store, Yang Chen said, “There are no problems, let’s go in and sign the contract.”

Zhang Qin nodded with a smile and quickly opened the door to get out of the car.

When the two of them passed the steps, Zhang Qin suddenly yelled and fell towards Yang Chen.

Yang Chen quickly stopped, and Zhang Qin missed, awkwardly趴 [lying prone] on the steps.

“Walking and being a person are the same, you must be down-to-earth, take one step at a time, never be anxious, and never think about taking shortcuts,” Yang Chen said coldly, walking past her.

Yang Chen had seen countless people, so how could he not see Zhang Qin’s little thoughts?

Yang Chen didn’t expose her, but he wouldn’t give her any chance.

Yang Chen went directly to the manager’s office to sign the contract, and then said to the manager, “Drive to the airport parking lot at 5:30 p.m. sharp. Okay?”

The manager quickly nodded and replied, “No problem! Mr. Yang, please rest assured, we will be there at 5:30 p.m. sharp, and we will definitely not delay.”

Yang Chen nodded, swiped his card, and left.

The manager led the employees to see Yang Chen off, sighing, “It’s good to be rich, you can directly砸 [smash, slang for showering someone with gifts] air hostesses with cars. Not to mention air hostesses, even I’m tempted.”

“Is he going to give it to an air hostess?”

“Really? Is he really willing to spend so much?”

“It’s so simple and crude for rich people to date, I wonder when I can meet a man who is so simple and crude to me.”

…

The manager said with a smile, “He asked us to drive the car to the airport at 5:30 p.m. sharp, isn’t it obvious that he’s going to give it to someone else? The most likely thing is to give it to an air hostess. Even an uncle like me can’t resist this kind of offensive, how can any young girl resist? She’ll definitely be taken down!”

What they said was wrong. Yang Chen would only give things after he had taken them down, because they were already his women, and it was reasonable to give them something to reward their first time.

Before taking them down, only a fool would give things.

…

On the China Eastern Airlines plane.

Lin Yiren was patiently communicating with a foreigner named Hurtas James in first class.

Lin Yiren: “Sir, please sit down, the plane will be landing soon. I have my own job, and I really don’t have time to be your tour guide. If you need a tour guide, I can introduce you to a professional tour guide.”

Hurtas James: “No, no, no, this beautiful lady, you know, I need a tour guide just as an excuse, my real goal is you. I am very interested in such a beautiful lady like you. I will be working and living in Dragon Country for a long time, and I think we can have a good chat. I am currently lacking a secretary, and if you are willing, you can come and be my secretary. No matter how much your current salary is, I can double it for you. How about it?”

Lin Yiren: “Sorry, I am very satisfied with my current job, and I will not change jobs even if you give me a hundred times my salary. Please sit down quickly, fasten your seat belt, the plane is about to land. Please cooperate with our work, okay?”

James: “Do you have a boyfriend?”

Yang Chen: “I have a boyfriend, and I love him very much. I hope you can be more respectful, so as not to cause trouble for yourself.”

James: “Wow, really? I heard that you Dragon Country people are very friendly to foreigners, and your Dragon Country girls like foreign men, why don’t you like them?”

Lin Yiren: “Who told you that Dragon Country girls like foreign men? Nonsense!”

James: “Really? But my friend said that he worked in Dragon Country for a few years and slept with more than a thousand Dragon Country girls, and also made videos and photos and sold them to websites. This is a fact, I have seen the videos and photos with my own eyes. How do you explain it?”

Lin Yiren: “I haven’t seen it. If you don’t sit down, I’ll call the air police to deal with it. He won’t be as nice as me.”

James nodded with a smile and sat back in his seat, then said, “I won’t give up on you. I will definitely get the girl I like. I have seen a few of your Dragon Country girls, you are all [implying they are easy].”

Lin Yiren raised her hand to slap James, but was stopped by her colleague next to her.

“Chief purser, forget it, don’t bother with him.”

“Let’s go, let’s go, we’re about to land, we have to sit down quickly too.”

“Yes, yes, yes, safety is the most important thing, there’s no need to bother with this kind of foreign trash.”

Her colleagues dragged Lin Yiren away.

Lin Yiren was so angry that even though James was tall and strong, she couldn’t help but want to slap him.

But no matter how angry Lin Yiren was, Hurtas James’s impression of Dragon Country girls was “”. He himself had slept with several international students in the name of love, and his friend told him after working in Dragon Country that the girls here had a natural liking for foreigners, and they didn’t even need to take action, they would take the initiative to come up to them.

Therefore, this trash was so confident that he could take down Lin Yiren, and he was so 嚣张 [arrogant] to belittle Dragon Country girls.

“I’ll show you my strength later, and you will definitely 匍匐 [prostrate] at my feet like those girls,” Hurtas James thought to himself.

Soon, the plane landed.

At this time, Yang Chen was already waiting outside the airport.

Lin Yiren and her colleagues came out with their suitcases and quickly called Yang Chen.

Lin Yiren: “Hello, honey, I’m out, where are you?”

Yang Chen: “I’m right at the door, you can see me if you come out and walk straight to the side of the road.”

Hanging up the phone, Lin Yiren couldn’t help but quicken her pace.

Her colleagues joked with her.

“Oh, is this a short separation better than a new marriage [idiom for how lovers feel after being apart]?”

“Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and our chief purser’s voice will definitely be hoarse tomorrow morning, and she will be walking with a limp.”

“Hee hee… Chief purser, take it easy, your body is the most important thing.”

Lin Yiren blushed and replied, “Go, you little sluts, you talk as if you’ll be idle at night.”

“Haha…” Everyone smiled knowingly.

Soon, they came to the side of the road.

However, before Lin Yiren could see Yang Chen, that annoying Hurtas James walked over with his entourage.

“Beautiful lady, we meet again. Can I give you a ride?” James said with a smile.

At this time, a row of three cars drove over.

The front and rear cars were Golfs, and the middle car was a Cadillac Escalade.

American business people prefer Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and other brands, while ordinary people prefer Toyota cars.

James pointed to the Cadillac and said, “Beautiful lady, can I invite you to ride in my Cadillac with me?”

Lin Yiren replied angrily, “No! If you dare to harass me again, I’ll really hit you! Harassing women is against the law in Dragon Country, don’t treat this place like your dirty and chaotic America.”

At this time, Yang Chen walked over.

“Yiren,” Yang Chen called.

Lin Yiren quickly put down her suitcase and ran over to throw herself into Yang Chen’s arms.

“Bad guy, did you miss me?” Lin Yiren said coquettishly.

Yang Chen: “How could I not miss you? To see you, I brought my ID card and clothes.”

Lin Yiren smiled and punched Yang Chen’s chest, 娇羞 [bashfully] replied, “I hate you. You don’t even need an ID card, it’s good to go to my house.”

So considerate.

Yang Chen glanced at James and then asked, “What’s going on?”

Lin Yiren quickly briefly told Yang Chen the situation.

Oh, poaching, and insulting Dragon Country women.

Then I have to have a good chat with this foreigner.
