How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 26

Opening Black, Huh?_How Come a Ride-Hailing Driver Can’t Have Some Money?

It was already past ten o’clock when Yang Chen finished cleaning up the kitchen.

However, he definitely wouldn’t be able to sleep if he went to bed at this hour, and would probably just waste time scrolling through Douyin [a popular Chinese video-sharing social media platform, similar to TikTok].

So, he might as well go out for a couple of hours and then come back to sleep.

Yang Chen changed his clothes and drove the Phaeton out.

Not far from the villa area, the system assigned him an order.

A passenger placed an order at the cinema a few kilometers away.

Yang Chen immediately accepted the order and followed the navigation.

After all, he just got a new car, and Yang Chen really wanted to get off to a good start.

He hoped to provide the best service to the customer and get a good review.

When he arrived at the cinema, Yang Chen called the passenger.

At this moment, a man and a woman walked over, looking like college students.

Yang Chen’s registration information on the DiDi [a Chinese ride-hailing company] platform was still Buick, so the two students were a little confused when they saw the car and license plate.

Yang Chen quickly got out of the car and said, “Sorry, my Buick Hai A52C13 is being repaired, so I drove my newly bought car to work. Are you Mr. Zhang, ending in 3062?”

Yang Chen said the information so accurately, so there definitely wouldn’t be any problems.

The boy nodded and took the girl into the back seat.

Yang Chen: “Welcome to DiDi Taxi, please fasten your seat belts.”

The girl fastened her seat belt and asked anxiously, “Master [a respectful term for a driver], I am a student of Cai University. Can you drive to the entrance of the girls’ dormitory building before 10:30?”

Yang Chen quickly looked back and saw that she was actually a junior from Cai University.

If he could connect with her, this good review should be a sure thing.

“Which building? A or B?” Yang Chen asked quickly.

The girl quickly replied, “A.”

It was 10:15 now, and Cai University’s dormitory closed and lights went out at 10:30. If he followed the navigation, Yang Chen would have to drive 15 kilometers in 15 minutes, which was really difficult.

If he encountered a few red lights, he might not even be able to complete the journey.

The boy said anxiously, “Master, please, my girlfriend’s dormitory closes at 10:30. You must send us there before 10:30.”

In fact, he was thinking that unless Yang Chen ran red lights all the way, it would be absolutely impossible to reach the entrance of Cai University’s girls’ dormitory before 10:30.

He deliberately delayed the time until now, and he had to keep his girlfriend out tonight, and then… hehehe…

“I’m going to get Lin Xiaoyu’s first blood tonight, even Jesus can’t stop me! Hehe…” the boy thought to himself.

The girl quickly said, “Master, can you send us to Building A before 10:30?”

Yang Chen immediately started the car and said, “Definitely! Hold on tight!”

The girl said happily, “Thank you, Master.”

The boy was a little nervous and quickly said, “Master, don’t talk big. If you can’t get to the dormitory before 10:30, we won’t pay, and you have to send us back.”

The girl quickly gave the boy a look.

The boy whispered, “I’m scaring him, so he’ll drive faster.”

The girl smiled and nodded.

Yang Chen smiled and said, “Don’t worry! Since I dare to promise, I can definitely do it. When I was in school, I often brought my girlfriend here to watch movies, and after watching this one, I had to rush back before the dormitory closed. 15 minutes is enough, just watch!”

Back then

Yang Chen used to drive his Buick every weekend to watch movies with Zhao Feifei, and then drive back before the dormitory closed.

Therefore, Yang Chen was absolutely confident that he could send them to the A Building girls’ dormitory before 10:30.

The girl quickly asked, “Ah? Master, are you also a graduate of our Cai University?”

Yang Chen smiled and replied, “Yes! I just graduated last year.”

The girl excitedly asked, “Which department are you from? What’s your name?”

“My name is Yang Chen, Marketing. What about you?” Yang Chen replied.

“My name is Lin Xiaoyu, English major. Hehe… I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence that I could get a ride from a senior.” Lin Xiaoyu said with a smile.

At this moment, the navigation reminded Yang Chen that he had deviated from the route.

The boy immediately asked, “Hey? Where are you going? Why did you deviate from the route?”

Yang Chen smiled and replied, “If we take the main road, we definitely won’t make it back in time. Taking the small road can save 5 minutes, which will ensure that we can send you to the dormitory entrance.”

Lin Xiaoyu said happily, “It seems that Senior really knows the roads well. Then, Senior, can I add you on WeChat later? We can contact you directly if we need anything in the future.”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Sure! We’ll talk about it when we get there.”

This made the boy very angry.

He originally deliberately delayed the time, leaving about fifteen minutes for Lin Xiaoyu to take a taxi, so she definitely wouldn’t be able to return to the dormitory.

As long as she couldn’t return to the dormitory, she would slowly fall into his trap, and he would be able to get her first blood tonight.

He never expected to meet Yang Chen, such an ignorant driver, who was desperately trying to send them back to the dormitory on time.

After passing through a small road and then through a residential area, the car rushed onto the main road, and Cai University was ahead.

Lin Xiaoyu looked at the time and saw that there were still three minutes left. She said excitedly, “Senior, Senior, you are awesome, there are still three minutes left, come on! Hehe…”

Yang Chen didn’t say anything, but the boy was so angry that his face turned red.

Soon Yang Chen drove to the school gate, and the guard stopped him.

The boy immediately perked up, as long as the guard delayed him for a minute, that would be enough.

Lin Xiaoyu quickly said, “Master, Master, I am an English major student, the dormitory is about to close, please let us in quickly, otherwise I won’t be able to go back. Please, please.”

The guard nodded and quickly opened the electric gate to let Yang Chen drive in.

There was still one minute left.

However, there was no one in the campus at this time, so Yang Chen could drive faster.

Yang Chen drove the distance of more than a thousand meters in just one minute.

When the car stopped at the entrance of the A Building girls’ dormitory, Lin Xiaoyu quickly took out her mobile phone and urged Yang Chen to add her as a WeChat [a Chinese multi-purpose messaging, social media and mobile payment app] friend.

“Senior, Senior, quickly add me as a friend. Oh, Auntie [a respectful term for an older woman], wait a minute, I’m coming!”

Lin Xiaoyu was very anxious, she had to add Yang Chen as a friend and shout to the dormitory aunt not to close the door.

Lin Xiaoyu scanned Yang Chen’s WeChat, added him as a friend, and quickly got out of the car and ran in.

And her boyfriend was stunned in the car.

Anyone who didn’t know would think they were strangers.

She just went in like that, without even saying hello to him.

Was this really a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?

Lin Xiaoyu ran into the dormitory door and remembered that her boyfriend was still sitting in the car.

She quickly called her boyfriend to apologize.

Her boyfriend hadn’t gotten her first blood yet, so he definitely wouldn’t lose his temper with her. He very generously said that it was okay, as long as she could return to the dormitory.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaoyu sent a message to Yang Chen.

“Senior, thank you for sending me back on time. Please help me send my boyfriend back. I’ll transfer the money to you later. Please.”

Yang Chen showed the WeChat message to the boy and said, “Bro, your girlfriend asked me to send you back. You can either place an order on the platform yourself, or I can send you back directly, or you don’t have to use my car.”

The boy smiled and said, “Yes, I definitely want to use your car. Let’s go, to Fukangyuan.”

Yang Chen located Fukangyuan and then started the car.

Not far from the campus, the platform reminded Yang Chen that he had received a bad review.

He only took this one order tonight, so it must have been given by the boy in the back.

At this time, the system issued a reminder.

“Congratulations to the host for getting a bad review based on your strength. The system rewards the host with a real-combat version of [Bajiquan] [a Chinese martial art that features explosive, short-range power and is known for its elbow and knee strikes], which takes effect immediately.”

Many figures immediately appeared in Yang Chen’s mind, and after a few seconds, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

However, at this time, he had already mastered the real-combat version of [Bajiquan].

At this time, the boy in the back was calling someone on WeChat.

Yang Chen asked, “Bro, what do you mean by this? I drove 15 kilometers in 15 minutes to send you back and got your girlfriend to the dormitory on time. Why did you give me a bad review? It’s my first order in a new car, and I wanted a good start. Where did I do wrong? You can tell me, and I’ll make it up to you, but don’t give me a bad review.”
