How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 388

Chapter 388: She Can Be Revived With Just One Phone Call

Everyone fell silent at Yang Chen’s question.

‘People in the legal field really know how to play; they can ask questions like that,’ someone thought.

Then, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Wu Peipei, waiting for her answer.

Kang Guiying whispered a reminder, “Peipei, don’t rush to answer. It’s okay to think carefully before you speak.”

Wu Peipei nodded. Although she was indeed more cautious, her inner arrogance couldn’t be concealed. She wouldn’t really think carefully before answering.

After a brief silence, Wu Peipei spoke.

“It depends on the man’s reaction. If he didn’t resist during Zhang San’s assault, then Zhang San is not guilty. If he resisted, then Zhang San is guilty. Dragon Country’s laws stipulate that the crime of rape only applies to women, not men. So, in this case, Zhang San’s actions constitute the crime of forced indecency and personal insult,” Wu Peipei replied.

Wu Jiang and Kang Guiying nodded very proudly. They felt that their daughter’s answer contained many legal professional terms, which showed that she had a very solid grasp of theoretical knowledge, and her answer must be accurate.

Yang Chen wasn’t a legal professional, so he couldn’t analyze the case from a professional perspective.

However, based on his personal common sense and understanding of the law, Wu Peipei’s answer wasn’t accurate.

Because this case clearly involved a situation of “significant misunderstanding on the part of the victimized man.” He obviously thought that Zhang San was also going to rape the victimized woman and didn’t expect Zhang San to be interested in him, so he nodded and agreed to Zhang San joining in.

If such a case really happened in reality, the lawyers on both sides would definitely engage in fierce debate over this “misunderstanding,” but Wu Peipei’s answer directly ignored this situation.

Of course, none of this was important. Whether Wu Peipei’s answer was good or bad, whether she could join the law firm was just a matter of Yang Chen’s word.

Everyone looked at Yang Chen, waiting for his opinion.

After a brief thought, Yang Chen decided to tell the truth.

Yang Chen: “Your answer is okay. Actually, regardless…”

What?

How dare a ride-hailing driver question the answer of a top law school graduate from a world-renowned university?

Wu Peipei immediately interrupted, “Brother-in-law, I admit you have a talent for investment. But I can’t agree with you saying my answer is just okay. Do you have a better answer?”

Yang Chen: “I’m not a professional, so I can’t give a comprehensive and accurate answer. However, from my understanding, the man in the case clearly had a major misunderstanding of Zhang San’s words. He was raping a woman, which means he has a normal sexual orientation. How could a man with a normal sexual orientation be willing to be assaulted [XXed] by another man? But Zhang San did act after obtaining his consent. So, don’t you think the focus of this case should be this ‘misunderstanding’?”

Bruce Green immediately said, “Yes! That’s right! There was obviously a misunderstanding between Zhang San and that man.”

Wu Peipei looked at Bruce Green with an angry face, thinking, ‘Whose side are you on?’

Bruce Green was more direct, saying, “I think he makes sense.”

“Can you shut up?” Wu Peipei said angrily.

Bruce Green turned his head unhappily and stopped talking in a huff.

Kang Guiying quickly pulled Wu Peipei, hinting with her eyes that she couldn’t talk like that.

They finally found a foreign son-in-law. If they angered him, their family’s immigration plan would be ruined.

Wu Peipei continued to argue, “I know there was a misunderstanding, but what I said wasn’t wrong. If the man resisted, then there was a misunderstanding. If he didn’t resist, then there wasn’t a misunderstanding. The expression is different, but the essential meaning is the same.”

Yang Chen: “As a law student, don’t you know that legal expressions must be accurate and unambiguous? Even if the essential meaning is the same, if your expression has other meanings, it’s a major mistake. Actually, none of this is important. After all, you just graduated, so I can’t expect you to be like Zhang Xiang [a famous lawyer]. The main thing is your attitude. I don’t think you’re suitable for working in a law firm. If I pull strings to get you in and you treat your colleagues and leaders with this attitude every day, I’ll be embarrassed. Forget it, don’t go to Zhang Sanfeng Law Firm. The law firm will spend 3-5 years training you, and then you’ll resign and go abroad. The law firm’s resources will be wasted. It’s better to give it to those domestic college graduates who are applying for jobs. Didn’t you say before that you graduated from a world-renowned university and have many choices, and that joining Zhang Sanfeng Law Firm is just a transition? Since it’s a transition, any firm can be a transition. It doesn’t have to be Zhang Sanfeng Law Firm. We’re relatives, and you don’t want me to be in a difficult position there when you leave, right?”

The atmosphere became awkward again.

Wu Peipei’s family stared at the tableware unhappily.

Wang Hai and Kang Guimin were also in a dilemma.

What Yang Chen said was right. He was pulling strings to get Wu Peipei in, and they would spend 3-5 years training her, expecting her to make money. But if she resigned and went abroad, wouldn’t they be wasting resources on her?

It would be fine if she left without a care, but Yang Chen would be in a difficult position at the law firm.

However, if Yang Chen didn’t help Wu Peipei, Wang Hai and his wife would also feel embarrassed.

Wang Jialong quickly said, “I think this is easy to solve. Cousin, you can sign a contract with the law firm, guaranteeing that you won’t leave within ten years. Working in the country won’t affect you getting a US green card, right?”

Bruce Green quickly said, “That won’t work! When I go back to the US, she has to come back with me.”

Wang Jialong: “Brother-in-law, then you’re clearly looking for a sucker boss. Zhang Xiang will definitely focus on training Cousin because of my brother-in-law’s relationship. Cousin will enjoy most of the law firm’s new employee growth resources and then leave without a care. How will Zhang Xiang see my brother-in-law then? Aren’t you clearly trying to screw over my brother-in-law?”

Wu Peipei’s family was speechless, but they were unwilling to give up this opportunity.

Kang Guiying quickly said, “Little Yang, we’re all family. We don’t talk like outsiders. It’s a problem you can solve with just one word. Please help Peipei.”

Wang Hai made a decisive decision, saying, “Guiying, it’s not appropriate for us to make things difficult for Little Yang since he and Jiayi aren’t married yet. How about this? Peipei will sign a ten-year contract, and Little Yang will help her get into the law firm. What Jialong said just now is also right. Working in the country won’t prevent her from getting a green card.”

Bruce Green immediately said, “That won’t work! If she signs a ten-year contract, then I can only break up with her. I can be transferred back to the US in three years at most. I can’t live apart from her for so long. Since it’s just a transition, any law firm will do. It doesn’t have to be Zhang Xiang’s law firm, right?”

Wu Peipei didn’t know what to decide and could only say that she would go back and think about it.

The meal ended in a heavy atmosphere.

Wu Peipei got up to leave but was stopped by the waiter.

“Madam, you haven’t paid the bill yet,” the waiter said.

Wu Peipei: “Do you have any sense? The major shareholder is here. Do we still have to pay for the meal?”

Yang Chen immediately said, “Isn’t tonight your and Green’s treat? Since you’re treating, of course, you pay the bill. I’ve already opened a bottle of Romanée-Conti [a very expensive wine]. Isn’t that enough?”

Wu Peipei looked at Yang Chen in shock, obviously not wanting to pay the bill.

Wang Jiayi was about to open her bag to take out her wallet to pay the bill, but Yang Chen immediately put his arm around her, saying, “What are you doing? Your cousin and cousin-in-law finally came back and want to express their feelings. Why are you stealing the spotlight?”

Wang Jiayi could only obediently give up the idea of paying the bill.

Originally, Wang Hai wanted to pay the bill, but hearing Yang Chen’s intention to have Wu Peipei pay, he didn’t want to deliberately go against his future son-in-law and could only give up the idea.

The meal was only a few thousand yuan, but Yang Chen’s bottle of wine was 128,000 yuan. They were definitely generous enough, so let Wu Peipei pay the bill.

Wang Jiayi’s aunt got angry, took out her wallet to pay the bill, and then left quickly without looking back.

Kang Guimin quickly stepped forward and said to Yang Chen, “Little Yang, don’t mind her.”

Yang Chen smiled and shook his head, saying, “I don’t mind. Let’s go. Where are you staying now? I’ll take you back.”

“We’re staying at Jiayi’s place. Why don’t you come in for a drink?” Kang Guimin said.

It was still early, so Yang Chen nodded in agreement.

As soon as they walked out of the restaurant, they heard screams from Wu Peipei’s family in front of them.

They quickly quickened their pace to see what was going on. It turned out that Wang Jiayi’s aunt, Kang Guiying, had fallen and broken her leg, and her head had also hit the steps on the side of the road, causing her to lose consciousness.

Wu Peipei said慌忙, “Bruce, call the hospital quickly and ask for an ambulance.”

Bruce Green nodded and called Longmei Hospital to send an ambulance.

Half an hour later, Kang Guiying was sent to Longmei Hospital for treatment.

Bruce Green comforted her, “It’s okay, it’s okay. With me here, I will definitely make sure the hospital provides the best treatment for Auntie.”

Wu Peipei nodded with a sad face, saying, “Thank you, Bruce. I really don’t know what I would do without you.”

Since Bruce Green could handle it, Yang Chen didn’t need to worry.

Although Yang Chen didn’t like Wu Peipei’s family very much, they were Wang Jiayi’s relatives after all. If they needed help, he still had to help with this kind of life-saving matter.

An hour later, the doctor gave the treatment plan.

Kang Guiying’s leg bone could be treated with surgery, which wasn’t a big problem.

However, her head hit the steps too severely. According to the scan, there was a blood clot about two centimeters in diameter in her brain, which had to be removed as soon as possible.

However, the doctor in the hospital who could perform this type of surgery had gone abroad for exchange and study and couldn’t perform the surgery for Kang Guiying immediately.

There were now two options to choose from.

First, wait for the doctor to return, which would be at least the day after tomorrow.

Second, contact other hospitals to see if there were any doctors who could perform this type of surgery.

Wu Peipei quickly gave Bruce Green a look, and the latter understood and quickly said to the doctor, “Dr. Wang, I’m Bruce Green from the dental department. The patient in the operating room is my girlfriend’s mother. I hope you can think of a way.”

The doctor smiled and nodded, saying, “Hello, Dr. Green. It’s not that I don’t want to help, but I really can’t. Brain surgery is not something that anyone can do. It must be performed by an experienced attending physician. Only one doctor in our hospital is qualified, and there is also one doctor in the Beijing branch who can do it, but they have both gone to the United States for exchange.”

Bruce Green: “Then contact them and have them take the fastest flight back. Is that okay?”

The doctor nodded, saying, “Okay! I’ll contact them and try. You can also contact other hospitals to ask if they can do this type of surgery. We’ll take a two-pronged approach.”

Bruce Green nodded, and Dr. Wang quickly went to make a phone call.

Everyone looked at Yang Chen because he was a major shareholder of so many restaurants and hotels and must know some well-connected people who might be able to contact doctors in this field.

They definitely couldn’t count on Wang Jiayi and the others. They were really helpless.

Yang Chen understood what everyone meant and comforted them, saying, “Let’s wait for Dr. Wang to get the results of the communication.”

Everyone nodded and waited patiently.

More than ten minutes later, Dr. Wang returned in a panic.

He had already contacted the two attending physicians, but they couldn’t return to China until three days later at the earliest because they also had surgery arrangements in the United States, and the patients had already prepared for surgery in the hospital. They couldn’t just leave them alone.

Wu Peipei said crying, “What can we do? Brother-in-law, can you think of a way?”

Yang Chen said to Dr. Wang, “Dr. Wang, is your president in?”

Dr. Wang shook his head, saying, “The president must have gotten off work and gone home at this time.”

Yang Chen had no choice but to call President Chen Changqing.

Soon, the call was connected.

Chen Changqing: “Mr. Yang, it’s been a long time since I received your call.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… I’d rather not call you for the rest of my life. We can just wish each other well in our hearts. Because calling you definitely means it’s not a good thing.”

Chen Changqing: “Haha… Mr. Yang, please tell me what you need.”

Yang Chen: “My girlfriend’s aunt needs to have brain surgery. The attending physicians from the Haicheng branch and the Beijing branch have both gone to the United States, and they also have patients who need surgery there. They can’t come back for at least three days. You…”

Chen Changqing: “Understood! Understood! Mr. Yang, please wait a moment. I’ll contact the United States immediately and have them release one of them immediately!”

Yang Chen: “Haha… President Chen, you’re really great. Time is tight, so I won’t say polite words to you. I’ll treat you to dinner and chat another time.”

Chen Changqing: “Are you in the hospital now?”

Yang Chen: “Yes.”

Chen Changqing: “Okay! I understand. I’ll contact the United States to release someone immediately and go to the hospital to meet you now. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other. I have to say hello to you.”

Hanging up the phone, Chen Changqing quickly called the United States to explain the situation and asked them to release a doctor immediately, wait for the surgery to be done here, and then rush back to do the surgery in the United States.

When the United States heard that it was Yang Chen’s girlfriend’s aunt who needed surgery, they agreed without saying a word.

Afterward, Chen Changqing rushed to the hospital.

Yang Chen and the others waited outside the ward, and Chen Changqing came in a hurry.

“Mr. Yang, long time no see. You’re still so handsome. Give me a hug, give me a hug.” Chen Changqing opened his arms and warmly embraced Yang Chen.

Yang Chen said with a smile, “President Chen, you’ve become much more open in just a few months.”

Chen Changqing: “Haha… It’s mainly because I’m excited to see Mr. Yang. I’ve already communicated with the United States, and they’re releasing one of them. They should be at the airport now. Don’t worry, since it’s Mr. Yang’s girlfriend’s aunt, then she’s one of us. We will definitely provide the best treatment.”

Wu Jiang said with tears in his eyes, “Thank you, President.”

Chen Changqing: “You’re welcome. Mr. Yang is the third shareholder of our group, and the patient is his girlfriend’s aunt, so we’re all one of us. Why are you saying thank you? That’s just being polite.”

Wu Peipei and the others were shocked again!

Yang Chen was actually the third shareholder of Longmei International Hospital Group. How many industries did he invest in?

Wang Hai was extremely excited and asked, “Little Yang, you also invested in Longmei Hospital?”

Yang Chen: “Yes! I invested a long time ago. No matter when, investing in hospitals will definitely make money. Investing in hospitals is definitely not wrong.”

Good heavens, everyone was wondering how he had the money and connections to invest in Longmei Hospital, but he seemed to mean that he could invest whenever he wanted. Could a ride-hailing driver really have this confidence?

Chen Changqing: “It’s not early, Mr. Yang. You should go back first. Just leave it to the medical staff here. We will provide VIP-level service. If you’re worried, you can leave a family member to accompany her. If you’re not worried, you don’t have to leave anyone.”

Yang Chen nodded, saying, “Uncle-in-law, you guys discuss and decide. We’ll go back first.”

Wu Jiang nodded, saying, “Little Yang, thank you.”

Yang Chen waved his hand with a smile, turned around and walked away.

Wang Jiayi and the others comforted them and then left the hospital.

It was far from the Beizha District, so Yang Chen didn’t go with them.

Wang Jiayi drove her parents and younger brother back.

Her parents and younger brother got in the car first and waited. Wang Jiayi came to Yang Chen’s car and kissed him, saying, “Honey, thank you. When are you going back to Beijing?”

Yang Chen: “In the next two days. I can’t stay here for too long.”

Wang Jiayi: “When will you come back next time?”

Yang Chen: “I’ll come back during the holidays. If I don’t go to Beijing, someone will be worried. Be good, okay?”

Wang Jiayi nodded, hugged Yang Chen and kissed him for a while, and then reluctantly got out of the car and left.

Yang Chen also got out of the car, greeted Wang Jiayi’s parents and younger brother, watched them leave, and then quickly drove home.

…

Yang Chen was eating breakfast when Li Xiaofei called him.

“Hey, Brother, are you coming to see Li Muzhi’s speech later?” Li Xiaofei asked.

Yang Chen: “It’s a waste of time to listen to his nonsense. I’m not going.”

Li Xiaofei: “Ah? Just come and hang out with me.”

Yang Chen: “I have other things to do. I’m not going. If you have time, you can come to Beijing to find me. I’ll take you around Beijing.”

Li Xiaofei: “Okay then. Drive safely and take care of yourself.”

Yang Chen: “Okay. If anyone bothers you in the future, if you don’t like it, just call me directly. I’ll find someone to take care of it.”

Li Xiaofei: “Got it. Bye-bye.”

Lin Yiren was on a flight, Tang Xia was on a business trip, and only Yuan Xiaocao had time, so Yang Chen drove to find her.

Soon, Yang Chen arrived at Yuan Xiaocao’s house.

Yuan Xiaocao pouted and hugged Yang Chen, looking a little unhappy.

“What’s with that expression? Don’t want to see me?” Yang Chen asked.

Yuan Xiaocao kissed Yang Chen, shook her head, and explained, “It’s not that. I didn’t have time to watch a celebrity reality show I’ve been following for the past few days because I was rushing to write a manuscript. Then, when I had time today, I watched it and found out that my favorite guest was eliminated in this episode. I’ve been following her for eight episodes, and she was actually eliminated. It’s so annoying. I don’t want to watch the new episode tonight either.”

Yang Chen laughed and said, “Is that something to be angry about? What show? Which platform made it?”

Yuan Xiaocao: “I watched it on Penguin Video. It’s this one.”

Yuan Xiaocao opened the app, clicked on the show, and showed it to Yang Chen.

It was a singing reality show, and the singer Yuan Xiaocao was following was named Yuan Yuan.

She was indeed eliminated in the last episode, and the show hadn’t announced that there would be a revival match or anything like that.

However, that was even better. Since they hadn’t announced whether there would be a revival match, they could announce it now and change the result.

Yang Chen pulled the show to the end and looked at the production unit. Penguin Video was one of them.

That made it easy.

Yang Chen comforted her, saying, “Do you want to see this Yuan Yuan again tonight?”

Yuan Xiaocao: “Huh? Can I still see her? She’s already been eliminated.”

Yang Chen: “That’s not a problem. Watch me.”

After saying that, Yang Chen called Cheng Leyun, the vice president of Penguin Technology, who was in charge of Penguin Video’s business.

Soon, the call was connected.

Yang Chen: “Vice President Cheng, how have you been lately?”

Cheng Leyun: “Haha… Thank you for your concern, Mr. Yang. Everything is fine. How are you, Mr. Yang? Are you used to living in Beijing?”

Yang Chen: “It’s okay. I’m calling Vice President Cheng today, besides saying hello, I also need your help with something.”

Cheng Leyun: “Haha… Mr. Yang, you’re being too polite. We’re all one of us. Just tell me what you need, and I’ll definitely do my best to help you.”

Yang Chen: “It’s like this, my girlfriend is following the crossover singer show made by our platform. She really likes this singer named Yuan Yuan. But Yuan Yuan was eliminated in the last episode, and my girlfriend was very sad after watching it. I want to ask if this show can add a revival segment?”

Cheng Leyun instantly understood what Yang Chen meant, but the new episode that was going to be broadcast tonight had already been edited and produced. It was a little late to add a revival segment now.

But since Yang Chen had brought it up, Cheng Leyun would definitely do his best to satisfy him.

“How about this? I’ll call the show’s director and listen to his professional opinion. Is that okay?” Cheng Leyun replied.

Yang Chen: “Okay! Then call him.”

Hanging up the phone, Cheng Leyun quickly called Fang Zheng, the director of the show.

When Fang Zheng heard that he had to add a revival segment, especially to revive Yuan Yuan, he was immediately dumbfounded.

The show hadn’t arranged a revival segment. Now that it had entered the elimination stage, it would be a problem if he suddenly added a revival segment. The other guests would definitely have opinions.

Before the show started recording, he had definitely communicated with the guests. He had already determined how many episodes he needed to record, and the guests were also taking appearance fees according to the number of episodes.

Now that he suddenly had to add an elimination round, those contestants who were going to be eliminated would have to participate in more competitions, the contract would have to be renegotiated, and the appearance fee would have to be increased, which was quite troublesome.

Therefore, Fang Zheng was not willing to add a revival match segment.

Cheng Leyun said very seriously, “This is the request of the group’s shareholders. No matter how you arrange it, you must add a revival segment and make Yuan Yuan successfully revive. If Yuan Yuan performs well later, it’s best to let her win the championship. If she really can’t carry the championship trophy, then forget it. Do you understand what I mean?”

Fang Zheng sighed and said, “Understood. Then I’ll go and do it right away and announce the addition of the revival match segment at the end of tonight’s show.”

Cheng Leyun: “Haha… That’s right. I’ll hang up first. They’re still waiting for me to reply.”

Hanging up the phone, Cheng Leyun quickly sent a message back to Yang Chen.

“Mr. Yang, I’ve communicated with the show’s director. The addition of the revival match segment will be announced at the end of tonight’s show. Don’t worry, Yuan Yuan will definitely be able to successfully revive and continue to participate in the show until the last episode,” Cheng Leyun said.

Yang Chen nodded very satisfied and said, “Okay! Thank you for your help, Vice President Cheng.”

Cheng Leyun: “Haha… Mr. Yang, you’re joking. We’re all one of us. Why are you thanking me? Then I won’t disturb you from being with your girlfriend. Goodbye.”

Yang Chen put down his phone, smiled, and said to Yuan Xiaocao, “Don’t worry, the revival match segment will be added to tonight’s show, and the singer you like will definitely be successfully revived.”

Yuan Xiaocao immediately jumped up happily and then threw herself into Yang Chen’s arms.

After a round of love, Yuan Xiaocao got up to wash the clothes. In her spare time, she also posted a message on Moments [a social media function similar to Facebook’s wall].

“I hope there will be a revival match for the crossover singer tonight. I don’t want Yuan Yuan to leave!”

Soon, some friends left her messages and comments.

“Impossible, I’m a member of Yuan Yuan’s fan group. I heard from the fan leader that she has finished all her work and is officially preparing to devote herself to other work.”

“Actually, Yuan Yuan’s status is nothing compared to other singers. How could the show team arrange a revival match for her? After all, the show hasn’t said that there will be a revival match segment from the beginning to now.”

“I also hope that Yuan Yuan can continue to participate in the competition, but I can only think about it. There can’t be a revival match.”

…

Seeing her friends’ messages, Yuan Xiaocao replied with a message.

“Not necessarily, maybe a miracle will happen.”

Yang Chen didn’t wake up until noon. Yuan Xiaocao made lunch, and after the two of them finished eating, they went out to play.

Because they had to watch the show at night, the two of them came back early to cook and eat.

After dinner, Yang Chen put his arm around Yuan Xiaocao and watched the new episode of the show on time.

At the end of the show, the host really announced that the show had officially added a revival match segment.

All the contestants who were eliminated in the elimination stage would have a revival match after the quarter-finals and successfully revive two contestants.

In this way, everyone wouldn’t be able to see that Yuan Yuan was secretly operating to be guaranteed to enter the finals.

Yuan Xiaocao immediately kissed Yang Chen and praised him, saying, “Honey, you’re so amazing. Hee hee… You can even decide the results of this kind of show. It’s not early, let’s go to rest quickly and reward you by the way.”

Yang Chen: “Ah? Can I not be rewarded?”

Yuan Xiaocao: “No! You must accept this reward!”

Yang Chen hugged Yuan Xiaocao and entered the bedroom to enjoy the reward she was going to give.

At this time, friends were leaving messages for Yuan Xiaocao, asking her if she had any inside information, how could she know in advance that the show would add a revival match segment?

“Xiaocao, you’re awesome! Is there any inside information?”

“It really added a revival match segment. Did you hear any news? There’s no news in our fan group. It’s too sudden.”

“Now it can basically be determined that the show team is going to support Yuan Yuan. She should be internally designated as the champion.”

…

Yang Chen just wanted to make Yuan Xiaocao happy and let Yuan Yuan participate in a few more episodes.

As for the champion, it still depends on personal strength.
