How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 24

The Wang Lixin’s Boyfriend “Gifted” a Car—What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?

Yang Chen went back to the agency and took them to his home to take photos and videos.

The agent was very careful and asked, “Mr. Yang, excuse me for being blunt. Are you selling this house because you’re being harassed by enemies? If the next owner buys it, will they also be harassed? You need to make this clear to us in advance, otherwise, we’ll have trouble if there are disputes in the future.”

Yang Chen smiled and replied, “They don’t know where I live, and the matter has been resolved. No one will come to harass me. Just sell it with confidence. I just bought a house in the Riverside Villa District, and this place is vacant, so I’m selling it.”

The agent was shocked and quickly asked, “Are you talking about the Riverside Villa District?”

Yang Chen nodded.

“Wow, boss, you’re so rich! The villas there cost at least 100 million for the small ones and 400 million for the large ones. Boss, what do you do? How do you make so much money?” the agent asked curiously.

“I drive for a ride-hailing service. I’ll leave the house to you. My car was smashed, so I have to buy another one, or I won’t be able to work tomorrow. Contact me by phone if you need anything. Goodbye,” Yang Chen said with a smile and waved goodbye.

The agent stood there, stunned, unable to react for a moment.

“Did he… just say he drives for a ride-hailing service?” The agent couldn’t believe his ears.

Is driving for a ride-hailing service so profitable now?

Yang Chen walked out of the residential area and stopped at the entrance.

The Buick was smashed into scrap metal by Zhang Hengzhi’s people, so it definitely had to be scrapped.

Yang Chen had to buy a car as soon as possible so as not to delay his ride-hailing driving.

But what brand of car should he buy?

High-end brands were obviously not suitable. No one uses Mercedes-Benz, BMW, or Porsche for ride-hailing, right?

But if the car was too bad, that wouldn’t work either. At the very least, it had to be as safe as possible.

Just as Yang Chen was struggling to decide what brand of car to buy, a strange number called.

Yang Chen answered the phone and said, “Hello.”

Wang Lixin’s voice came from the phone.

Wang Lixin: “Hello, Yang Chen, am I disturbing your driving?”

Yang Chen: “Why are you calling me?”

Wang Lixin: “I want to confirm the gathering on Sunday with you. You must come.”

Yang Chen: “No time. I’m annoyed, don’t bother me!”

Wang Lixin: “Everyone is coming, won’t you come?”

Yang Chen: “I said I don’t have time, are you annoying me! Don’t call me, or I’ll say you’re harassing me in the class group. You don’t want the events of three years ago to be repeated, do you?”

After speaking, Yang Chen hung up the phone.

He was annoyed about what car to buy, so how could Yang Chen be in the mood to talk to her about the gathering at this time?

“If it really doesn’t work, I’ll respond to the national call and buy a new energy vehicle. Then BYD [a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer]?” Yang Chen said to himself.

Support domestic products, that’s it.

Yang Chen walked to the side of the road, waiting for a taxi.

After a while, before the car arrived, the phone rang.

Yang Chen took it out to look. The Bilibili [a Chinese video-sharing website] platform reminded him that a passenger had given an additional comment.

Yang Chen quickly clicked to take a look. Good heavens, Wang Lixin’s boyfriend, Zhang Jiankun, gave an additional negative review of more than a hundred words.

It could be seen that they knew Yang Chen was not going to attend the gathering and were very angry, venting all their anger in this additional negative review.

At this moment, the system issued a reminder.

The Wang Lixin’s Boyfriend “Gifted” a Car—What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?

“The system has detected that the host has received an additional negative review, triggering a critical reward. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Phaeton by Mulliner Limited Edition. This model is a limited edition jointly developed by Phaeton and Mulliner, with only 99 vehicles sold worldwide. The price in the Dragon Country [China] is 2.88 million. Its appearance is no different from a Passat. Ordinary people can’t tell that it’s a luxury car, which is perfect for the host to drive for ride-hailing. It’s neither too ostentatious nor does it show the host’s low-key luxury. Please go to the underground garage of the community to pick up the car now.”

Oh, the system is so thoughtful.

Yang Chen couldn’t think of the Phaeton brand for a long time.

He remembered a TV series where the protagonist drove a Phaeton to chase girls, and the girl thought he was driving a Passat.

But after all, it was a luxury car. It was not suitable for driving for ride-hailing, but it was suitable for Yang Chen to drive for ride-hailing.

As the system said, it was neither ostentatious nor did it show Yang Chen’s current worth.

At this moment, Yang Chen’s pocket suddenly moved.

He put his hand in and took out two keys.

This should be the key to the Phaeton.

Yang Chen turned around and ran back to the community, rushing directly into the underground garage.

Because it was an old community, there was only a small underground garage. Yang Chen didn’t need to look for it at all. After entering, he pressed the electronic key and found the car.

Yang Chen looked around the car twice. Except for the Phaeton under the Volkswagen logo that could indicate its identity, it was really no different from a Passat.

Anyway, with Yang Chen’s understanding of cars, he couldn’t see any difference.

Now that he had a new car, he definitely had to try it out.

Yang Chen quickly got in the car and drove around for a while. It did feel better than the Buick Regal, but he didn’t know if it was just psychological.

At this moment, Wang Lixin spoke again in the group.

Wang Lixin: @All Members, because Yang Chen is unwilling to attend the gathering, the gathering on the weekend may be canceled. Sorry, everyone. My boyfriend and I have already booked the hotel, KTV [karaoke television], and bathhouse. It’s a pity it has to be canceled.

This green tea bitch, even her words have the fragrance of tea [a Chinese slang term for a seemingly innocent and pure girl who is actually manipulative].

Everyone was ready to meet on Sunday and reminisce about the past. How could it be canceled so easily?

So, some students who were preparing to attend the gathering quickly @Yang Chen, asking him what was going on, and if he was still angry with Wang Lixin?

Originally, Yang Chen really didn’t want to attend this damn gathering, but for the sake of Wang Lixin’s boyfriend earning him a Phaeton, he reluctantly went to join in the fun.

Yang Chen: I said I’ll go if I have time, and I won’t go if I don’t have time. You guys have weekends off, but the boss still pays your salary. If I don’t drive for a day, I won’t have food to eat. So, I definitely can’t really take a whole day off to attend the gathering. Wang Lixin, if you don’t want to treat, don’t pretend. Just say it directly, don’t find excuses on me, or I’ll think you’re deliberately picking a fight.

Wang Lixin: @Yang Chen, so are you attending or not?

Yang Chen: I might attend, but I won’t go too early. I have something to do, I won’t say anymore.

Yang Chen just got the car and had to get a license plate, buy insurance, and change the registration information on the Bilibili platform. He didn’t have time to waste with them here.

After a busy day, it was already dark.

Yang Chen drove to the entrance of the Riverside Villa District, where there seemed to be an argument.

The security guard was arguing with several people, roughly saying that their cars were too trashy and they were not owners of the community, so they were not allowed to enter.

Yang Chen was anxious to go home to use the toilet, so he honked the horn twice.

After hearing this, the security guard quickly came over to take a look.

At first, he saw a broken Passat and immediately showed an impatient expression.

But when Yang Chen’s head poked out, the security guard immediately perked up.

Isn’t this the owner who just bought Villa No. 1?

That’s not right!

Wasn’t he driving a Buick? Why did he change to a Passat again?

What kind of family is he from?

He has high demands for houses, but no demands for cars?
