How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 293

The 293rd Chapter: I Traveled Back from 2030

Yang Chen was just about to accept an order to pick up a passenger when Wu Yue called him.

The aftermath of Yang Yun losing the LV endorsement had arrived. Several other brands that were preparing to piggyback [蹭 (cèng) means to蹭 or sponge off of] LV’s popularity also terminated their contracts with her. In addition, three dramas that had been negotiated were temporarily canceled by investors who felt that her value had plummeted due to the loss of the LV endorsement.

Originally, her opportunities had already been greatly reduced, but now she was almost facing a situation where she had no work, relying entirely on a reality show.

For her, who once asked for 100 million yuan to film a TV series, this gap was too great. She couldn’t accept this reality, so she took her team to the LVMH Group’s China headquarters to plead with Wu Yue, and also asked Wu Yue to help connect her with Yang Chen to talk again.

Wu Yue couldn’t refuse and was too embarrassed to completely fall out with Yang Yun, so she had to make this call to Yang Chen.

The LV endorsement had already been given to Yang Da Mi, so Yang Chen would naturally not give Yang Yun any more opportunities.

Besides, although Yang Da Mi’s singing and acting might not be very good, her reputation was much better than Yang Yun’s. The title of Da Mi Mi [a popular nickname for Yang Da Mi] was deeply rooted in people’s hearts. No matter how you compared it, she was more suitable to be LV’s spokesperson than Yang Yun.

Therefore, Yang Chen very clearly told Wu Yue not to pay attention to Yang Yun. If she continued to pester, just call the police.

After being rejected by Wu Yue, Yang Yun did not give up on meeting Yang Chen in person. She asked around and found out Yang Chen’s residence and came to the riverside villa with gifts.

Although she was a big star, those who could live here were all billionaires who valued privacy and social status. The security guard would never let a stranger in casually.

Unless Yang Chen called the security guard and clearly stated that Yang Yun should be let in, she wouldn’t be able to get in.

Helpless, Yang Yun could only wait at the gate.

Because he received the Penguin Technology award today, Yang Chen finished work early.

Before seven o’clock, Yang Chen returned to the villa area gate.

The security guard was also talkative and said, “Mr. Yang, there’s a celebrity looking for you. She’s been waiting over there for a few hours.”

Yang Yun quickly got up and ran over. Seeing that the person in the Jianghuai car was really Yang Chen, she quickly rushed up and begged, “Mr. Yang, please give me some time, let’s have a good chat. Okay? You can name any conditions, and I will do my best to satisfy you.”

Yang Chen smiled and replied, “Ms. Yang doesn’t need to be like this, we have already signed a new spokesperson, there’s no point in you doing this.”

Yang Yun: “But I really need this endorsement. Without this endorsement, I’ve lost my other jobs one after another. I’m in a very difficult situation now, I hope Mr. Yang can give me a chance to perform. I can do anything, as long as Mr. Yang can give me a chance. Please.”

Yang Chen: “Ms. Yang, I’ve said everything I need to say. If you continue to pester me like this, then I can only ask the security guard to come over. Adults should understand a principle: you have to bear the consequences for doing something wrong. It’s not that if you are willing to atone for your sins, others must give you a chance.”

Yang Yun: “I understand, I understand, but I really have no other choice. Losing this endorsement has led to me losing other jobs one after another.

I also have a performance bet agreement with the company. If I don’t complete the performance, I will have to pay personal compensation. I really can’t afford to pay compensation in my current state. If there was any other way, I wouldn’t bother Mr. Yang. I’m begging you. Okay?”

After speaking, Yang Yun actually knelt down to Yang Chen.

It seemed that she was really at the end of her rope, otherwise she wouldn’t be so humble.

However, that’s how celebrities are. Once they’re past their prime, they’re past their prime. Capital won’t give her job opportunities just because they feel sorry for her.

Yang Chen waved to the security guard, and the security guard quickly came over to pull Yang Yun away. Then Yang Chen drove into the community.

“Mr. Yang, don’t be like this, give me a chance! Mr. Yang, I beg you, give me a chance!” Yang Yun cried out.

However, Yang Chen didn’t stop and drove straight home.

Yang Yun turned around and begged the security guard, “Brothers, please let me in, I want to go to Mr. Yang’s house to continue discussing with him.”

“Miss Yang, please don’t make things difficult for us. If we let you in, we will be fired tomorrow. We have old people to take care of and young children to raise. It’s not easy to find a stable job, so please don’t force us.”

“Although I don’t know how you offended Mr. Yang, based on our understanding of him, he would never be petty about things unless it was something particularly excessive. Seeing how decisive he was just now, it’s clear that you did something very excessive that made him feel very angry, so he won’t give you a chance. In that case, it’s useless for you to go in and beg him, it will only make him hate you even more, and it will also implicate us and make us liable.”

“Go back, you celebrities earn hundreds of millions a year. You’ve been popular for so long, you should have earned enough. Even if you have fewer jobs in the future, it won’t affect your quality of life. But if we lose our jobs, it’s not a question of quality of life, but a question of survival.”

…

At this time, the assistant called Yang Yun. After understanding the situation on her side, the assistant quickly drove over to pick her up.

However, Yang Yun didn’t want to leave. She always felt that only if Yang Chen was willing to forgive her could she get out of her current predicament.

At this time, the assistant whispered, “If it really doesn’t work, let’s talk to President Huang. Getting back together might change the current situation.”

Get back together with Huang Da’an?

It wasn’t that Yang Yun hadn’t thought about it, but would Huang Da’an agree?

The assistant enlightened her, “If you directly ask to get back together, President Huang will definitely not agree. However, you can make a fuss about the child. President Huang might get back together with you for the sake of the child. It all depends on how you do it.”

Yang Yun felt that what the assistant said made sense. Currently, she definitely couldn’t solve the situation relying solely on her personal ability, especially the performance bet agreement she signed with the company. If she didn’t complete the performance, she would have to pay hundreds of millions in compensation herself, which was an unbearable burden for her in her current state.

If she couldn’t complete the 100 million performance this year, it would be even more impossible to complete the 200 million and 300 million performances in the next two years.

If she had to make up all the money herself, she would have to pay back all the money she had earned in the past ten years.

Therefore, for the sake of money, Yang Yun decided to make a fuss about the child and get back together with Huang Da’an.

…

At a little after one o’clock in the afternoon, Yang Chen passed by the cross-river bridge and saw a girl about to jump off the bridge.

At this time, there were already many enthusiastic people and police officers trying to persuade her. Yang Chen didn’t want to stop.

However, at this time, he saw Chen Qingxia actually chatting with her colleagues next to her, so he stopped.

He hadn’t seen Chen Qingxia for many days, so Yang Chen got out of the car to take a look.

Yang Chen got closer and heard clearly that Chen Qingxia was discussing with her colleagues how to rescue the girl if she jumped down.

“Officer Chen, what’s the situation?” Yang Chen asked.

Chen Qingxia looked up and saw that it was Yang Chen, and immediately smiled happily.

“Why are you here?” Chen Qingxia asked happily as she stepped forward.

Yang Chen: “I was driving by.”

Chen Qingxia: “Oh. She wants to commit suicide by jumping into the river. We’ve already saved her four times, but every day or two, she wants to die again. We’ve been trying to persuade her for an hour, but she won’t come down. We’re worried that she’ll run out of energy and accidentally fall down, so we’re developing a river rescue plan.”

Yang Chen: “Ah? You’ve already saved her four times? Why is she so determined to die?”

Chen Qingxia: “She said she was framed by her leader, took the blame for the company losing orders, had her salary deducted, and her boyfriend took their savings and ran off with a rich woman. Her father also fell off a train while unloading goods and is lying in the hospital. Sigh… In short, too many changes happened all at once, and she had a mental breakdown.”

Why do I always encounter such tragic people lately?

This is too miserable, anyone would feel sympathetic.

Yang Chen: “Since she was wronged, can’t you go and get justice for her?”

Chen Qingxia: “I said I would help her get justice, but I really can’t help with her father’s medical expenses or her boyfriend’s matter, and she still wants to die.”

At this time, a colleague suggested that Chen Qingxia quickly call for additional rescue boats to avoid accidents.

Chen Qingxia nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll call the bureau.”

Yang Chen said with a smile, “No need to be so troublesome, I’m familiar with saving people, I’ll help you take care of her. Is the girl in red who’s trying to persuade her down her friend?”

Chen Qingxia nodded and said, “Yes! She’s her best friend.”

Yang Chen: “Comrade, go and call her over, and then you guys chat with that girl to distract her, don’t let her look this way.”

Several police comrades looked at Chen Qingxia.

Chen Qingxia nodded and said, “Do as he says. He’s my friend, absolutely reliable.”

Although those police comrades didn’t want to do this, Chen Qingxia had spoken, so they had to cooperate quickly.

Soon, the girl in red came over.

Yang Chen quickly learned about the detailed information of the girl who wanted to jump into the river from her.

Then, Yang Chen said with a smile, “OK! Watch me.”

Chen Qingxia: “What are you going to do?”

Yang Chen: “Completely solve her current problems, and she won’t want to die. Watch me.”

After speaking, Yang Chen deliberately went around to the other side, then squeezed through the crowd of onlookers and came to the girl who wanted to jump into the river.

“Yao Yao, don’t do this, come down!” Yang Chen said with a look of deep affection.

The girl, named Chen Yao, immediately asked suspiciously, “Who are you? How do you know my name?”

Yang Chen: “What I’m about to say might scare you. But I know your name is Chen Yao, and you currently live in Unit 1, Building 1, Century Garden, Room 201. The password for the door lock at home is 950318. Your favorite celebrity is Kun Kun [a popular Chinese celebrity], you like to watch Korean dramas, and you can play the piano, especially that piece ‘Für Elise’ which you play flawlessly. Your favorite color is pink, and you have a mole on your left buttock, and another mole of about the same size on your right breast. Your dream is to marry a strong man who is 185cm tall, who is very handsome, and also a domineering CEO. You want to have 5 children with him, and also raise two dogs, a golden retriever and a poodle. You want to travel the world, and also want to go to the moon to see.”

Chen Yao panicked immediately and asked, “You… how do you know so clearly? You… you even know about the moles on my body?”

Yang Chen: “I just know so clearly. So who do you think I am that I could know so clearly?”

Chen Yao: “Then… then you must be my husband.”

Yang Chen: “That’s right, I am your future husband, from 2030. Originally, I was sleeping in the office, and I even specifically told the secretary not to let anyone disturb me, but somehow I came here, and then I saw you sitting here. I even thought I was seeing things, but I didn’t expect it to really be you.”

Chen Qingxia and others not far away widened their eyes. This is also okay?

Chen Yao: “Impossible! How could there be such a thing as time travel? That’s all nonsense in novels.”

Yang Chen: “Originally, I didn’t believe it either, but the fact is that it happened, and I have no choice but to believe it. Some mysterious force must have known that you were going to commit suicide, so it specifically let me travel back to save you. If you die, we won’t have five children, and the tens of billions of assets that I worked so hard to build will be meaningless.”

Tens of billions!

Chen Yao widened her eyes.

Chen Yao: “Really? Will we be so rich in the future?”

Yang Chen: “Of course! If I remember correctly, you are now being blamed for your supervisor’s mistake, having your salary deducted, and about to lose your job. You work at 8001-8003, Haishang Financial Building, and the company’s name is Pinshang Clothing Trading Company. I’m going to take you to get revenge right away. I also remember that your boyfriend’s name is Wang Xu, and he hooked up with a rich woman, taking your savings and breaking up with you. If I remember correctly, I canceled the rich woman’s cooperation, and also made Wang Xu kneel in front of you and apologize to you. Your father is now lying in the hospital waiting for surgery. I remember I arranged for him to go to Longmei International Hospital, where he received treatment from the world’s top doctors, and he was back to normal in less than a month. Later, you were so touched that you insisted on having children with me, and I… I was confused and you got your way.”

Chen Yao chuckled, quickly jumped down from the bridge, threw herself into Yang Chen’s arms, and said crying, “Husband, it really is you who came back to save me. Wuwu…”

Chen Qingxia sighed softly, “This works too! I’m really starting to feel a little nauseous…”

The uninformed onlookers were also all dumbfounded. Is this really someone from the future who traveled back to save his wife?

Yang Chen gently patted Chen Yao’s back and said, “Baby, let’s not cry first. Husband will take you to get revenge now! Let’s go!”

Chen Yao raised her head and nodded very excitedly.

Yang Chen pulled Chen Yao into the car and took her to Haishang Financial Building.

Chen Qingxia quickly got into the car and followed.

Those onlookers looked at each other.

“Damn, really? Is he really someone who came back from 2030?”

“Nonsense, right? Is this filming a movie?”

“He said it so realistically, without any mistakes, maybe he really is someone who traveled back from 2030.”

“Damn! Why didn’t we stop him just now and ask about the major events of the next few years? Maybe we could have seized the opportunity to get rich!”

…

Soon, Yang Chen took the girl to Haishang Financial Building.

The security guard saw Yang Chen coming and immediately bowed and greeted him.

“Hello, Mr. Yang!”

Yang Chen nodded and walked in with his head held high. His domineering appearance fascinated Chen Yao.

Chen Qingxia also arrived, quickly got out of the car and followed.

Passing by the management office, Yang Chen shouted Tang Hao’s name. After a few seconds, Tang Hao ran out.

“Mr. Yang, why are you here? Is there anything you need to deal with?” Tang Hao asked as he ran.

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Go to Pinshang Clothing Trading Company on the 8th floor with me.”

Tang Hao nodded and quickly walked ahead to lead the way.

Soon, Yang Chen and others arrived at the 8th floor, the office of Pinshang Clothing Trading Company.

When the colleagues saw Chen Yao coming back, they all stopped their work and looked over.

At this time, Zhao Gang, the foreign trade manager who made Chen Yao take the blame, came over.

“Chen Yao, why are you back?” Zhao Gang asked.

Chen Yao: “My husband is here to help me get revenge! Tell Liu Min to come out!”

Tang Hao’s mind worked quickly, and he quickly stood up and said, “Call out your President Liu, immediately!”

Zhao Gang knew Tang Hao and knew that he was the manager of this building’s management office, so he didn’t dare not listen to him. He could only quickly call out the boss, Liu Min.

Liu Min walked out quickly and asked with a smile, “Manager Tang, why are you here?”

Tang Hao introduced, “This is Mr. Yang Chen, the owner of Haishang Financial Building.”

Liu Min quickly shook Yang Chen’s hand with both hands and said with a smile, “Hello, Mr. Yang, hello, Mr. Yang. I’ve admired you for a long time. Seeing you today, Mr. Yang is really extraordinary.”

Yang Chen: “President Liu doesn’t need to be so polite. I’m here today to notify you of something. Your company’s renewal rent will increase three times.”

Liu Min was shocked and said, “Mr. Yang, why do you suddenly want to increase our rent so much? Business is not easy to do now, I hope Mr. Yang can be merciful.”

Yang Chen: “Then why did you suddenly deduct my wife’s salary?”

Chen Yao took a step forward with a proud look on her face.

Liu Min looked serious and said, “Mr. Yang, Xiao Yao is your… is your wife?”

Chen Yao said proudly, “Didn’t expect it? It was clearly Zhao Gang’s work mistake that caused the customer to cancel the cooperation, but you didn’t dare to blame him, and instead used me, an ordinary salesperson, as a scapegoat. Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”

The colleagues were in an uproar. The owner of this building is actually Chen Yao’s husband, doesn’t that mean she’s here to experience life?

That’s terrible, Zhao Gang actually made her take the blame, isn’t this a disaster?

In fact, everyone knew that the responsibility for this matter lay with Zhao Gang. He didn’t convey the customer’s new requirements in time, which caused Chen Yao to send the wrong samples, which angered the customer and canceled the cooperation.

However, Zhao Gang was the company’s foreign trade manager, so the boss naturally didn’t dare to blame him, and could only let the ordinary employee Chen Yao take the blame.

But she never expected that Chen Yao was the wife of the owner of Haishang Financial Building, which was a big trouble.

Liu Min made a decisive decision and immediately pointed at Zhao Gang and scolded, “Zhao Gang, you bastard! You told me it was Xiao Yao’s responsibility, you lied to me! Apologize to Xiao Yao now!”

The office of several hundred square meters would triple the rent all of a sudden, and the boss couldn’t afford it.

Moreover, Chen Yao’s husband was the owner of this building, so his net worth was tens of billions, and he was just a wage earner who didn’t dare to offend such a big shot.

Zhao Gang quickly bowed and said, “Mr. Yang, Miss Chen, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I deserve to die, I’m not human. Please forgive Mr. Yang and Miss Chen, I’m willing to bear all the punishment.”

Chen Yao: “President Liu, what do you say?”

Liu Min: “I’ll fire Zhao Gang immediately and let Xiao Yao be the foreign trade manager, what do you think?”

Chen Yao: “My husband is so rich, why would I work for you?”

Yang Chen quickly said, “I think you still need to have a job, otherwise you’ll be useless. We have to follow nature, it’s not time for you to go home and be a full-time housewife yet.”

Chen Yao: “Okay, okay. I’ll listen to my husband. Then I’ll be the manager here.”

Yang Chen: “Okay! President Liu, I’m watching your performance.”

Liu Min: “Okay, okay! Mr. Yang, don’t worry, I will definitely perform well. Zhao Gang, pack your things and leave immediately!”

Zhao Gang gritted his teeth, turned around and went back to the office to pack his things and left.

Liu Min: “Xiao Yao, from now on, everything Zhao Gang has will be taken over by you. I believe that under your leadership, our company’s foreign trade department’s performance will get better and better.”

Chen Yao: “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely do better than him!”

Yang Chen: “Yao Yao, you work hard, I’m going to the hospital now to transfer Uncle to Longmei Hospital for treatment.”

Chen Yao nodded and said happily, “Thank you, husband.”

Yang Chen turned and left, and Chen Yao and Liu Min sent him into the elevator before going back.

As soon as he left the building, Chen Qingxia greeted him.

“Big brother, I admire you! I admire your imagination! What do we do now?” Chen Qingxia asked.

Yang Chen: “Don’t worry, I’ll act to the end, I guarantee she won’t try to die again, so as not to cause you any more trouble.”

Chen Qingxia: “Hee hee… Thank you. So what should we do now?”

Yang Chen: “You don’t have to do anything, I’ll help her solve the problem with her ex-boyfriend, and then travel away.”

Chen Qingxia covered her mouth and laughed, “I’m really impressed by your imagination.”

Yang Chen: “I’m not bragging, I think my experience and methods of persuading people are much better than yours. You see, what’s the use of just persuading her, she’ll still try to die if she wants to.”

Chen Qingxia: “Hey hey hey, that’s too much, don’t start a fight. By the way, your company’s special effects are pretty good.”

Yang Chen: “This is called virtual reality, holographic projection technology. I’m leaving, you guys continue to watch her secretly for a while.”

Chen Qingxia: “I’ll go with you. The others can watch.”

Yang Chen and Chen Qingxia detoured to the avenue and drove straight to Chen Qingxia’s house.

A short separation is better than a new marriage, and Yang Chen can’t violate women’s wishes, so he can only have a passionate encounter with her.

After the two of them finished, Chen Qingxia’s subordinates called her to report the situation.

Chen Yao had already returned home, looking a little sad, but her mental state was good, and she shouldn’t try to die again.

Hanging up the phone, Chen Qingxia leaned on Yang Chen and said with a smile, “Chen Yao has already gone back, you did a good job this time, I want to reward you. Come, drink this cup of wolfberry tea, let’s do it again.”

“Huh? Are you treating me like an animal! Even the production team’s donkey can’t be used like this!” Yang Chen said dumbfounded.

Chen Qingxia: “Stop talking nonsense! Violating women’s wishes is illegal!”

…

On Sunday, the LVMH Group’s exhibition was held as scheduled.

From eight o’clock in the morning, all guests could enter the exhibition hall with invitations.

From three o’clock in the afternoon, the invited celebrities and business people walked the red carpet one after another.

Many reporters and celebrity fans were guarding the sidelines.

As soon as Yang Da Mi appeared, shouts rang out immediately.

“Da Mi Mi, I love you!”

“Mi Mi, you look so beautiful today!”

“Mi Mi, you have such a good figure!”

…
