How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 352

Uncle, You’re Stealing My Thunder_What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?

Uncle, You’re Stealing My Thunder

The people from the Sky High Frisbee Club were dumbfounded. They even thought they had misheard.

They paid to rent the field, and now they were being blacklisted?

What a joke!

Zhang Bin: “Uncle, are you kidding us? We paid to rent the field, and you’re kicking us out and blacklisting us? Are you okay?”

Administrator: “I’ll refund your money the way it came, but you must leave the field immediately and never come back.”

Zhang Bin: “Damn it! Why? This is a public field. Why can’t we come in?”

Administrator: “Get your facts straight. This isn’t a public field. This is Joy City’s field. We usually open it for free, but that doesn’t mean it’s a public field. Understand? Hurry up and leave. If the leaders find out I didn’t kick you out, I’ll be punished. You’re all rich people, so don’t make things difficult for a middle-aged worker like me, okay?”

The club president quickly asked, “Uncle, you have to give us a reason, right? Why are you kicking us out and blacklisting us for no reason?”

Administrator: “Why did you guys try to kick this young man out for no reason? This field is so big. You can play your game, and he can play his. You don’t have to interfere with each other. Why did you bully him? The leaders said they just can’t stand you bullying people like this, so they told me to kick you all out. If you have any problems, you can go to the Joy City management office to talk to the leaders. Okay?”

Everyone seemed to understand a little. It turned out it was because of Yang Chen.

But it didn’t make sense. Why would Joy City stand up for a ride-hailing driver?

At this time, players who had long been annoyed by these frisbee players began to mock them.

“You frisbee players should have been kicked out a long time ago. People want to play soccer, but you occupy the field and don’t let them. This is a soccer field, so of course, soccer should be the priority. If no one is playing soccer, it’s fine for you to play, but when someone wants to play soccer, you become aggressive, as if you want to start a fight. What’s wrong? Do you think playing frisbee makes you superior to others?”

“Just leave already. They’ve already kicked you out, and you’re still trying to stay. That’s not right. Don’t make this sport annoying to everyone, okay? Besides, you’re not really playing frisbee. Look at them, all wearing heavy makeup and yoga pants, posing for pictures every now and then. Do you call that playing frisbee properly?”

“Anyway, this frisbee sport has been ruined by you gold diggers. Don’t you guys use Douyin [Chinese version of TikTok]? Look at the netizens’ comments about you. Are there any positive reviews?”

“Haha…”

The Sky High Frisbee Club has a mixed membership. The male members are indeed wealthy second-generation heirs, executives, and small business owners, but the female members are different. Some, like Kang Xiaohui, are indeed rich second-generation heirs, but others are fake socialites.

These fake socialites have one thing in common when playing frisbee: they wear heavy makeup, yoga pants, and strike many poses. They even bring makeup artists and photographers to take videos and photos to post online to attract rich guys.

The reason why many netizens on Douyin scold frisbee players is that there are too many of these frisbee gold diggers. How can their little tricks deceive netizens who have been through countless battles and seen it all?

Kang Xiaohui quickly explained, “We’re different from those frisbee gold diggers. We really like this sport.”

At this time, someone found the Douyin accounts of several frisbee gold diggers in the Sky High Club.

“Stop it. Isn’t ‘Is Tingting Ah’ that beauty in gray yoga pants? Look at what’s on her Douyin. She’s deliberately showing off her figure, posing, and sticking her butt out so high. Are you telling me that’s a normal frisbee move?”

“And this ‘Spraying Doll,’ damn, that ID is just skirting the line. Her Douyin is full of videos showing off her figure, and the caption says, ‘What can spray water and make noise is not necessarily a fire truck.’ Damn, isn’t that obviously flirting?”

“I could tell at a glance that your club isn’t serious. We’re all adults, and the internet is so developed now. Stop deceiving yourselves.”

…

Kang Xiaohui glared at those frisbee gold diggers angrily, making them feel embarrassed.

Then Kang Xiaohui asked, “President, didn’t you say that joining the club requires verification of funds? Why are people like this getting in?”

The president replied with an embarrassed expression, “Men have to verify their funds to join, but women only need to be good-looking, have a good figure, and a health check report. That’s how frisbee clubs operate. I’m just following suit.”

Damn, that health check report is too eye-catching.

Kang Xiaohui was furious. She threw the frisbee in her hand and said, “I don’t want to be associated with you!”

After saying that, she went to change her clothes angrily.

Wow, so Kang Xiaohui is the only real rich and beautiful girl in the club, and the others are all fake socialites.

At this time, a group of security guards ran over.

Administrator: “The security guards are here. You all have status, so don’t make it difficult for everyone. I’ll emphasize one last time that this entire sports field belongs to Joy City. We can open it to the public for free, but that doesn’t mean it’s a public place. Do you understand what that means? We have the right to decide who to welcome and who to reject. If you have any questions, please go to the Joy City management office to ask for an explanation. We’re just following orders. Don’t make things difficult for us workers.”

Seeing that everyone was filming, the people from the Sky High Club quickly left in embarrassment.

In fact, they all knew that frisbee players had a bad reputation online, especially those frisbee gold diggers who wore yoga pants and posed provocatively, who could be said to be “hated by everyone.”

On the other side, Yang Chen and Xi Yuyao were having a great time playing with the golden retriever.

“Xi Yuyao, you’ve trained this dog well. I’ll buy one too and have you train it for me,” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Xi Yuyao immediately replied happily, “No need to go to so much trouble. Just call me whenever you want to play, and I’ll bring my son to play with you. I have to have dinner with a client tonight, so I have to go. Where do you live now?”

Yang Chen: “Yida Huafu.”

Xi Yuyao: “Really? I rent there too. Which building and apartment number?”

Yang Chen: “Building 3, the east-facing apartments on floors 10-20 are all mine.”

Xi Yuyao smiled and gave a thumbs up, then joked, “Wow! What are you going to do with so many apartments? One for each wife?”

Yang Chen: “They’re empty. How about… you move into one with your son? You’re renting from someone else anyway, so you might as well rent from me. I’ll give you a discount on the rent, but you have to keep the apartment clean and tidy.”

Xi Yuyao: “Hehe… Are you trying to find a free cleaning lady?”

Yang Chen: “Then tell me if you’re willing to be my cleaning lady.”

“Hehe… I’m willing. Then it’s settled. I’ll find someone to move over tomorrow. I really have to go, or I’ll be late. Bye-bye,” Xi Yuyao said with a smile and waved, then left with the dog.

Yang Chen hadn’t had so much fun in a long time and was covered in sweat.

He was about to go back to take a shower and change clothes when Kang Xiaohui walked over with a pout.

“Huh? You didn’t leave?” Yang Chen asked.

Kang Xiaohui shook her head, looking very unhappy.

“I had a lot of fun and I’m covered in sweat. I have to go home to take a shower and change clothes,” Yang Chen said.

“You had fun, but I didn’t have any fun at all. I always thought our club was different from the clubs they talk about online, but it turns out it’s the same kind. No wonder they always send me away first at every gathering. It turns out they have midnight activities,” Kang Xiaohui complained softly.

Wow, Yang Chen was amused by her phrase “midnight activities.”

Everyone else was flirting and finding hookup partners at the party, but she was just singing stupidly. It was kind of pitiful.

“Just don’t hang out with them in the future. What’s so sad about it?” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Kang Xiaohui nodded and said, “I’ve already quit the club, but my brother doesn’t want to quit. He must have ideas about those busty, slim-waisted, and big-butted bitches. Why don’t I take you to my family’s company? I’ll introduce you to a job with a guaranteed monthly salary of 50,000, which is definitely more comfortable than driving a ride-hailing car. What do you think?”

Yang Chen: “No need! I like being a ride-hailing driver. What does your family do?”

Kang Xiaohui: “Blue Sky Medical Group, which makes medical supplies, such as gauze, surgical gowns, medical masks, disinfectants, etc. I think you’re articulate and generous in dealing with people, so you can be a marketing promoter. You must be good at dealing with people since you drive a ride-hailing car every day, so this job would be perfect for you. Let’s go, let’s go. There’s still time to go for an interview. As long as you can answer normally, the company will definitely hire you because of my connections.”

Yang Chen was about to shake his head, but Kang Xiaohui immediately grabbed his hand and pulled him out.

“Big brother, just listen to me. Consider this my first wish for you. Once you have a stable job, I’ll buy you an apartment and find you a wife. That’ll be three wishes fulfilled for you,” Kang Xiaohui said as she walked.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Girl, you’re so kind! You’ve arranged everything for me: job, love, and family.”

Kang Xiaohui: “Of course. I said that as long as you don’t have excessive demands, I can definitely fulfill your wishes. But I have a question to ask you. What does that woman walking the dog do? What’s your relationship with her?”

Yang Chen: “When I was in Haicheng,
she used to ride in my car. I didn’t expect that I would come to Beijing to develop, and she would already be here.”

Kang Xiaohui: “Oh. Take my advice, you can’t handle a girl like her, so you should stay away from her as soon as possible. If you want to find a girlfriend, I can introduce you to a simple and honest girl with a good family background. I’ll tell you secretly, she’s still a virgin and hasn’t been in a relationship before. Don’t you think it’s rare in this day and age for a beautiful girl in her twenties to still be a virgin? Right?”

There was nothing wrong with what she said. It was indeed rare in this day and age for a girl in her twenties to still be a virgin.

But how did she know if she was a virgin?

“Have you studied it up close? How do you know she’s a virgin?” Yang Chen joked.

Kang Xiaohui rolled her eyes at Yang Chen and said, “You don’t need to ask about that. I can be sure anyway.”

The two of them came to Yang Chen’s car.

Yang Chen took out the key to open the door and get in the car.

After warming up the car for a while, Yang Chen followed Kang Xiaohui’s directions to Blue Sky Medical Group.

The guard saw that Yang Chen’s car was from Haicheng and was just a JAC car, so he immediately came out to stop it.

At this time, Kang Xiaohui’s head stretched out, waving her hand to signal them to open the electric gate.

The four guards quickly saluted Kang Xiaohui and greeted her.

“Good day, Miss!”

The electric gate opened, and Yang Chen drove in.

The guards called Kang Xiaohui “Miss,” which meant that she was the daughter of the boss of Blue Sky Medical Group.

Blue Sky Medical Group is a listed company with a current market value of about 32 billion.

Chairman Kang Yongwei’s family holds as much as 61% of the shares, which means that the Kang family has nearly 20 billion in wealth.

However, because the chairman’s shareholding ratio is too high, the company lacks institutional operations, and its market value is entirely supported by its performance.

Therefore, its 32 billion market value is more valuable than many trillion-level companies.

Good performance also means that the product quality is excellent and has been recognized by customers.

Yang Chen felt that he could take the opportunity to investigate Blue Sky Medical Group, and maybe there would be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

Yang Chen and Cheng Junjun’s Chenjun Medical Equipment Import and Export Trading Company could also export Blue Sky Medical Group’s high-quality products to other countries.

The receptionist quickly bowed and said, “Good day, Miss. You’ve become more beautiful again after not seeing you for a few days.”

Kang Xiaohui happily replied, “Xiao Yun, you have such a sweet mouth. Is Manager Li from the Human Resources Department in?”

The receptionist: “He should be. We haven’t seen him go out.”

Kang Xiaohui nodded and took Yang Chen directly to the office of the Human Resources Department manager.

“Manager Li, I have a friend here for an interview. Please take care of it,” Kang Xiaohui said.

Li Hang quickly got up and replied, “Okay, Miss. Is this your boyfriend?”

Kang Xiaohui glanced at Yang Chen and quickly shook her head with a smile, replying, “No, we’re just ordinary friends for now. Please handle it, and I’ll go say hello to my dad.”

Li Hang: “Okay, Miss. You go ahead, and leave it to me. Handsome guy, please sit down.”

Kang Xiaohui smiled slightly at Yang Chen and said, “Brother Chen, just relax. It’s just a formality. I’ll go say hello to my dad,
and I’ll come pick you up later.”

Yang Chen nodded with a smile, and then Kang Xiaohui left.

As soon as Kang Xiaohui left, Li Hang’s face changed.

“Brother, you have ideas about our Miss?” Li Hang asked.

Yang Chen shook his head and said, “No.”

Li Hang sneered and said, “That’s right. You’re not worthy of her, so don’t have any illusions. Have you been to college?”

Yang Chen: “I graduated from Haicheng University of Finance and Economics with a bachelor’s degree in marketing.”

Li Hang: “Heh, that kind of garbage university is no different from not going to college. Many of our company’s employees are returnees [someone who has returned to their home country after studying abroad]. For example, me, I graduated from the State University of New York and have three years of work experience there. To be honest, if it weren’t for getting close to Miss and thinking of getting the moon from the water [idiom meaning to attempt the impossible], I wouldn’t be the manager of the Human Resources Department. With my high education and overseas experience, I should be the CEO of the company.”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Then why don’t you let the company appoint you as CEO?”

Li Hang rolled his eyes at Yang Chen and then said, “You’re a friend of Miss, so even if you went to a garbage university, we’ll give you a chance. However, we can’t give you too good of a job, otherwise other employees will have opinions. We also need security guards, cleaners, and restaurant waiters. Choose one yourself. Don’t be too ambitious. You have to start from the bottom to lay a solid foundation for the future.”

Yang Chen: “I think you’re right. Then why don’t you start from the bottom?”

Li Hang: “Nonsense! I’m a graduate of the State University of New York with three years of foreign work experience. You want me to start from the bottom? How can you say that? A talent like me is popular everywhere and is born to be an executive. Do you understand? If it weren’t for pursuing Miss, how could I be wronged here as the manager of the Human Resources Department? So, you kid, be smart and don’t think about things you shouldn’t think about, or don’t blame me for being rude to you. Tell me, are you going to be a cleaner, a security guard, or a waiter in the cafeteria?”

At this time, the office door was pushed open.

Kang Xiaohui walked in angrily and said, “Li Hang, you’re so amazing. It’s too much of a waste of your talent to be in our company. You should pack your things and find another job as soon as possible.”

Li Hang looked embarrassed and quickly said, “Miss, don’t misunderstand. I…”

Kang Xiaohui interrupted, “I didn’t misunderstand! Hurry up and pack your things and leave.”

Li Hang: “Miss, I signed a contract with the company. I can’t be fired within three years. It’s not like you can just tell me to leave and I have to leave.”

At this time, Kang Yongwei, the chairman of Blue Sky Medical Group, came.

“What’s going on?” Kang Yongwei asked.

Kang Xiaohui immediately acted coquettishly and said, “Dad, Li Hang said that it’s too much of a waste of his talent to be the manager of the Human Resources Department in our company. If it weren’t for getting the moon from the water and having the opportunity to pursue me, he wouldn’t be here as the manager of the Human Resources Department. He’s born to be a CEO and is popular everywhere. Dad, he’s thirty years old, and I’m only twenty-three years old. He’s shamelessly having ideas about me. Are you going to do something about it?”

Kang Yongwei: “Li Hang, is that so?”

Kang Xiaohui had heard everything, so Li Hang knew he couldn’t deny it.

So, he replied, “I admit that these are what I said. But I signed a contract with the company that I can’t leave the position of manager of the Human Resources Department within three years. Miss can’t just ask me to leave the company with a word, can she?”

Kang Yongwei said with a smile, “You’re right, we have to act according to the contract. The company’s branch in Africa has just been established, and it happens to be lacking a manager of the Human Resources Department to recruit employees and get the branch running as soon as possible. Pack your things and prepare to go to the African office as the manager of the Human Resources Department. The contract only said that you can’t be removed from the position of manager of the Human Resources Department, but it didn’t say where you should be the manager of the Human Resources Department.”

Li Hang was immediately dumbfounded. If he had a choice, who would want to work in Africa? Not only is the working environment harsh there, but there are also all kinds of viruses. If he was unlucky enough to be infected, he might be stuck there forever.

“Chairman, Miss, I was wrong! Forgive me this time. I won’t dare to have any ideas about Miss in the future,” Li Hang quickly said.

Kang Yongwei: “You don’t need to say anything. It’s decided. You’re going to the African branch. Young man, come to my office to chat.”

Yang Chen smiled and patted Li Hang on the shoulder, encouraging him, “Work hard in Africa. You’ll get through it in three years.”

Li Hang: “…”

Originally, Li Hang thought that the contract could protect him from being dealt with by the company, but he didn’t expect it to become a trap for himself.

Yang Chen followed Kang Yongwei to the chairman’s office.

Kang Xiaohui also wanted to go in, but she was stopped by her father.

Kang Yongwei was quite good at enjoying himself. His office was really big, and there was even a secret door, probably leading to the secretary’s office.

“This is the first time I’ve seen Xiaohui so interested in a boy. She also told me about the things between you two. Thank you for helping her. I’ll remember this favor. I heard from Xiaohui that you’re a ride-hailing driver now. The gap between you and Xiaohui is too big. How about this, you come and be my driver, and I’ll pay you 100,000 a month. Work hard and save up for a down payment on a house in a few years, and I’ll consider the matter between you and Xiaohui. Our family doesn’t lack money, and I can afford to support you and Xiaohui. But I have to see your sincerity and ambition. Do you understand what I mean?” Kang Yongwei said bluntly.

Yang Chen: “Chairman Kang is really generous, paying his drivers a salary of 100,000.”

Kang Yongwei: “I can’t help it. Xiaohui must be interested in you, so of course I have to prepare for her. At the very least, you have to have money to go on dates, right? My daughter has never suffered since she was a child, and you have to go to high-end restaurants for dates. If I don’t give you a higher salary, how are you going to date her? See this watch? Patek Philippe Celestial [a luxury watch brand], 2.7 million apiece. How long do you think it would take you to earn the money for this watch? I’m an open-minded person and won’t make you stay away from my daughter just because you’re poor. Understand?”

Yang Chen smiled, thinking, “I understand, it’s just a watch, and I have one too.”

Kang Yongwei continued, “However, I can’t just give you such a high salary for nothing. My daughter has never been wronged from the moment she was born. You have to treat her like an empress and not make her angry. If she’s made to cry by you, I’ll deduct a month’s salary. Understand?”

At this time, Kang Yongwei took out a cigar, smelled it under his nose, then put it in his mouth, and then winked at Yang Chen to light it for him.

Yang Chen smiled, reached out and took
out the lighter, accidentally revealing the Patek Philippe Celestial on his wrist.

Kang Yongwei frowned, then shook his head with a smile.

Yang Chen lit the cigar for him and then sat back down.

Kang Yongwei exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a smile, “Young man, you’re quite vain. What’s the point of a ride-hailing driver like you buying a fake Patek Philippe? Will others believe that your watch is real? Of course not! If you bought a Longines or an entry-level Rolex, maybe someone would believe it. Sigh… but I can understand. When I was young, I used to buy fake Nikes at roadside stalls. As long as you make my daughter happy every day, it won’t be long before you can buy a real Patek Philippe Celestial.”

For Yang Chen, the Patek Philippe Celestial was just a watch to tell the time. He didn’t need to use this watch to prove his worth, so there was no need to argue with Kang Yongwei about whether the watch was real or fake.

Kang Yongwei picked up his wallet again and said, “See this? An LV [Louis Vuitton] wallet, 6,000 yuan apiece. I have dozens of these wallets, and I change them every day. It takes more than a month to use them all. There’s a bedroom inside, and there’s a closet in the bedroom, filled with clothes from brands like Louis Vuitton, which cost tens of thousands of yuan for a cheap set and hundreds of thousands of yuan for an expensive one.”

As he spoke, he put his foot on the table and said, “LV leather boots, 14,000 yuan a pair.”

Yang Chen nodded with a smile and asked, “What does Chairman Kang mean by telling me all this?”

Kang Yongwei: “I want you to understand that our family’s living conditions are very good, and you can’t let Xiaohui suffer. But with your own ability, you definitely can’t meet Xiaohui’s living requirements. So, you have to listen to my instructions, drive well for me to earn money, and keep Xiaohui happy. As long as you’re obedient, you can enjoy these luxury goods in the future. Understand?”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “I understand roughly.”

Kang Yongwei nodded with a smile, thinking, “I’m suppressing your self-confidence so much. I don’t believe you’ll still have the nerve to get so close to Xiaohui. No matter what Xiaohui thinks of you, I can’t allow a ride-hailing driver like you to get too close to her. I can’t directly drive you away, otherwise Xiaohui will definitely be angry. She’s my precious daughter, and I can’t make her angry or affect the relationship between our father and daughter. But if you’re inferior and take the initiative to stay away from her, then it’s not my fault.”

Yang Chen thought, “You old fart, you’re stealing my thunder [taking credit for someone else’s accomplishments]. I have your watch, and you’re using things produced by companies that I have shares in. If I’m wasting my time listening to your nonsense, you have to say something useful for me to hear.”

So, Yang Chen asked, “What does Chairman Kang’s company do? What is the annual turnover and net profit? Are there any awesome customers?”

Kang Yongwei immediately straightened his back and said, “Our company mainly makes medical supplies and equipment, such as gauze, surgical tools, disinfectants, blood pressure monitors, etc. Last year’s turnover exceeded 8 billion, and the net profit exceeded 1 billion, which is the best year since the company was founded. We have many customers, including large, medium, and small hospitals in major cities, rural health clinics, etc. We do it all. Recently, we are in talks with Longmei International
Hospital for cooperation. If we can reach an agreement, we can not only enter the high-end market, but also use the relationship of Longmei International Hospital to export to the United States and other countries. At that time, our company will definitely achieve rapid development, and the net profit will easily exceed 2 billion, 3 billion can also be achieved with effort, and 5 billion is not impossible. So, you kid is lucky. As long as you are obedient, you will have good days in the future.”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “I understand. Thank you, Chairman Kang, for telling me so much. However, I’m used to being free and can’t adapt to the rhythm of working. Keep your monthly salary of 100,000 for someone else. I’m not worthy of it. It’s getting late, so I won’t disturb Chairman Kang. Goodbye.”

After saying that, Yang Chen got up and left.

It has to be said that the products produced by Blue Sky Medical Group are exactly the products that Chenjun Medical Equipment Trading Company has not yet made. If the quality of this company’s products is reliable, Yang Chen plans to have Cheng Junjun contact Kang Yongwei to discuss cooperation.

Yang Chen walked out of the office, and Kang Xiaohui quickly stepped forward and asked, “Brother Chen, what did my dad say to you?”

Yang Chen: “Nothing, Chairman Kang kindly offered me a job with a monthly salary of 100,000. However, I’m used to the free life of driving a ride-hailing car and don’t want to be bound by a 9-to-5 job, so I refused. It’s getting late, and I really have to go home to take a shower and change clothes. Miss Kang, goodbye.”

Kang Xiaohui quickly chased after Yang Chen, talking non-stop like a little follower.

Seeing his daughter like this, Kang Yongwei sighed helplessly.

“It seems that Xiaohui really likes this kid. This kid is quite handsome and looks like he attracts women. No, I have to work harder and make him take the initiative to stay away from Xiaohui.” Kang Yongwei thought to himself, then went to the lounge through the secret door and sent a message to call the secretary in.

The secretary walked over, twisting her hips in black stockings and a hip-hugging skirt.

“Chairman Kang, it’s almost time to get off work. Do you still want it at this time? If you leave any marks on my body, it will be difficult for me to explain to my boyfriend when I get back,” the little secretary said charmingly.

Kang Yongwei: “Hehehe… I don’t want it. I’m telling you to do something. That kid doesn’t know you. Go seduce him, then take photos and videos and send them to me.”

The little secretary immediately blushed and said, “Oh, Chairman Kang, you’re so bad. How can you like this kind of thing? I’m embarrassed.”

Kang Yongwei: “Damn it! What are you thinking? I’m not asking you to do it with him. I’m asking you to seduce him and have intimate actions with him. Damn it, you little slut, you still want to have something happen with him and take pictures for me to see? I’ll fucking kill you now and make it impossible for you to explain to your boyfriend when you get back.”

The little secretary: “Oh, no. I misunderstood you. Then I’ll go now and guarantee to complete the task.”

I wish you all a happy new year, and everything goes smoothly and safely in the new year.
