How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 389

The short Qingming [Tomb Sweeping Day, a traditional Chinese holiday] holiday ended, and Yang Chen returned to Jingcheng [Beijing].

While other people’s holidays are for relaxation, Yang Chen’s holidays are more tiring than work.

If the system hadn’t remodeled his body, he probably wouldn’t have been able to get out of bed after all the running around these past few days.

After sleeping at home for a day, Yang Chen went out for dinner in the evening and took the opportunity to pick up some ride-hailing orders.

His first customer today was a modestly dressed young woman.

At first, Yang Chen focused on driving, and the woman was busy looking at her phone, so neither of them spoke.

After a while, the woman put down her phone, stared at Yang Chen’s profile for a few seconds, and then asked, “Handsome, do you have a girlfriend?”

Yang Chen: “Yes.”

Woman: “We still have a mortgage to pay off, and my husband is usually very frugal. As someone with a boyfriend’s perspective, can you give me some advice on how I can convince him to buy me a 3,000 yuan [approximately $420 USD] bag? I really like this bag.”

Yang Chen: “Seduce him at night, and he’ll buy you whatever you want.”

The woman covered her mouth and laughed, saying, “Oh my, we’re married, we’re past that stage. If I dare to use that as a bargaining chip now, he might not touch me for a month. Give me another idea, another idea.”

Damn, are all married men so indifferent?

Yang Chen thought for a moment and said, “Then tell him to buy you a helicopter, just a few million will do.”

Woman: “Oh my god, we don’t have that much money.”

Yang Chen: “Exactly, he’ll definitely say he doesn’t have that much money. Then you say, ‘Then buy a car, 500,000 yuan [approximately $70,000 USD] will do.'”

Woman: “We don’t have 500,000 either.”

Yang Chen: “At this point, you say, ‘Then just buy a bag, it only costs 3,000 yuan.'”

The woman’s eyes lit up, and she instantly understood Yang Chen’s meaning.

“Haha… I get it. Stop up ahead, the one wearing glasses is my husband, let him get in!” the woman said.

Yang Chen nodded and stopped the car in front of the man wearing glasses.

The woman opened the window and called out, and the man quickly got in.

With the destination unchanged, Yang Chen continued driving.

The woman adjusted her mood and followed the steps Yang Chen had just taught her.

Woman: “Honey, I don’t want to squeeze onto the bus every day anymore. Can you buy me a helicopter? That way, I can avoid traffic jams.”

The man looked shocked, laughed, and said, “What are you joking about? Where would I get that much money to buy you a helicopter?”

Woman: “Then buy me a Mercedes.”

Man: “Honey, you know how much money we have. The mortgage isn’t even paid off yet, where would we get the money to buy you a Mercedes?”

Woman: “I usually don’t ask you to buy me gifts, and now I finally ask for one, and you say no to this and no to that.”

Man: “But your gifts are too expensive, I can’t afford them.”

Woman: “Then… then how about a bag? Keep it under 3,000.”

The man immediately nodded and replied, “Okay, okay. Let me know when you’ve found one you like, and I’ll pay for it.”

The woman hugged the man’s arm with a happy expression and said, “Honey, you’re so good to me.”

The man smiled foolishly and nodded, saying, “Just knowing I’m good to you is enough.”

Yang Chen suppressed a laugh, thinking that men are so easy to fool.

Soon, Yang Chen dropped the two off at their destination.

The woman said very happily, “Thank you, driver.”

Yang Chen: “You’re welcome. Don’t forget your things.”

The woman smiled and nodded, giving Yang Chen a good review as she got out of the car.

“A very good and smart driver, thumbs up.”

She’ll probably use this trick to coax a lot of gifts from her husband in the future.

Yang Chen continued to take orders, dropping off a customer at the North Lake No. 9 Theme Restaurant.

Yang Chen parked the car and went to use the restroom.

When he returned to the parking lot, he saw a man and a woman entangled next to his car.

Yang Chen cautiously walked past them, and just as he was about to take out his keys to open the door, the woman suddenly grabbed him and said, “Sir, please help me call the police. My phone is dead, thank you.”

This girl had a neat short haircut, a tall and straight figure, and a particularly good temperament. She looked like the kind of beautiful CEO from TV dramas.

The light here wasn’t good, but you could still tell that she was very beautiful.

Before Yang Chen could speak, the man stepped forward and tried to grab the girl, scaring her into hiding behind Yang Chen and warning, “Xu Qiang, if you dare to touch me, I will definitely call the police and arrest you, and I will never reconcile with you!”

Xu Qiang wore glasses and had a slicked-back hairstyle, giving off a sense of refined villainy.

Having driven a car outside often, Yang Chen had encountered many such cases of men and women being entangled, and he had become somewhat numb to it.

“What’s your relationship?” Yang Chen asked reluctantly.

He didn’t really want to get involved, but he was worried that the girl would really suffer in this situation. This is probably a thought that every kind person has, but many ordinary people don’t dare to interfere, and they just avoid it if they can. After all, in today’s social atmosphere, being a good person isn’t so easy.

Xu Qiang quickly replied, “She’s my fiancée. Just a little spat between a couple, brother, don’t worry about it, just drive away.”

But the girl immediately denied it, saying, “Who’s your fiancée? You used the excuse of discussing business to lure me out, deliberately got me drunk, and even wanted to take advantage of me. I will definitely call the police and arrest you.”

As she spoke, the girl’s hand groped around in Yang Chen’s pocket for his phone.

Yang Chen quickly grabbed her hand and said, “Hey, what do you mean by this?”

The girl explained, “I want to borrow your phone to call the police. Please.”

Yang Chen took out his phone and was about to hand it to her when Xu Qiang immediately pointed at him and threatened, “If you dare to lend it to her, I’ll make you regret it!”

Yang Chen smiled and handed the phone to the girl.

The girl immediately dialed the police, scaring Xu Qiang into running away.

The girl quickly hung up the phone and returned it to Yang Chen.

“Thank you. Is this your car?” the girl asked.

Yang Chen nodded.

“Then can you give me a ride home? Please,” the girl asked.

Yang Chen opened the car door and got in, saying, “I drive for a ride-hailing service, place an order on the platform. If it’s assigned to me, I’ll take you.”

The girl nodded, but her phone was dead.

Yang Chen told her to get in the car to charge her phone, and then place an order after it turned on.

The system really assigned the order to Yang Chen based on proximity.

Yang Chen accepted the order and told the girl to get in the car.

The girl nodded and said, “I’m very dizzy, I’ll sleep for a while, wake me up when we get there.”

Yang Chen: “Okay.”

The girl lay on her side in the back seat and closed her eyes. At this moment, her necklace slipped out, immediately attracting Yang Chen’s attention.

Yang Chen quickly took out his phone and found an old photo of his mother. That’s right, his mother used to have an identical white jade phoenix necklace, exactly the same as the one the girl was wearing.

Yang Chen carefully recalled that his mother only wore it for less than a year.

At that time, Yang Chen was only about ten years old, and their family conditions were relatively good. His mother had a lot of jewelry, and it was normal to change them occasionally, so there was nothing strange about it.

But now that he thought about it, it seemed that his mother never wore it again until she passed away in an accident, and the necklace wasn’t among her belongings.

At this moment, the girl opened her eyes and saw Yang Chen staring at her chest. She was so scared that she quickly covered her chest with her hand and asked vigilantly and angrily, “What are you looking at?”

Yang Chen quickly came back to his senses and explained with a smile, “I’m sorry. I just thought your necklace was really beautiful, so I couldn’t help but take a few more glances.”

The girl looked at the necklace on her chest and quickly stuffed it into her clothes.

“Just drive, I want to go home and sleep as soon as possible,” the girl said.

Yang Chen nodded and immediately started the car.

All the way, Yang Chen was restless.

He didn’t know how long he had been driving, but he finally arrived at his destination.

This was a courtyard house [Siheyuan, a traditional Chinese residence], which showed that the girl’s family conditions were not ordinary.

Yang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and called out, “Madam! Madam! We’re here!”

The girl was probably too drunk, and Yang Chen called several times without getting a response.

Yang Chen then picked up a bottle of water and carefully poked the girl’s arm.

The girl woke up suddenly, looked at Yang Chen vigilantly, and asked, “What?”

Yang Chen: “We’re here.”

The girl looked at the courtyard house outside the window, then nodded and said, “Thank you.”

She just sat up and immediately lay back down.

“Oh, no, I’m too dizzy,” the girl said.

Yang Chen: “Then call out and have your family come out to help you.”

Girl: “My house is inside, not here. Can you carry me in?”

Yang Chen: “That’s probably not possible, I’m only responsible for taking customers to the destination on the map, I don’t provide extra services. Here’s my phone, call your family and have them come pick you up.”

Just as the girl was about to speak, she suddenly felt a churning in her stomach and quickly opened the car door and stuck her head out to vomit.

Yang Chen quickly took some tissues and got out of the car, walking to the back row to hand them to her.

“Which house is yours? I’ll go find them now,” Yang Chen asked.

The girl wiped her mouth and actually closed the door.

Yang Chen quickly got back into the car and asked, “Hey, what do you mean by this?”

“I can’t go home like this, otherwise my parents will definitely worry. Take me to a hotel,” the girl said, then lay back down in the back seat and closed her eyes.

The white jade phoenix necklace slipped out again.

Yang Chen hesitated for a few seconds and drove to find a hotel.

With great effort, he finally got the girl to the hotel room.

While she wasn’t looking, Yang Chen quickly took a picture and sent it to Qiu Yuhong, the chairman of the Shield Security Group.

“Chairman Qiu, immediately have someone check her information, as well as the origin of the jade on her chest.”

Soon, Qiu Yuhong sent back the information he had found.

This girl is called Tang Xuesu, and she is the president of the Tang Group in Jingcheng.

The Tang Group mainly deals in art trade. The Tang family’s total assets exceed 10 billion, but most of them are stored in the form of art. Cash deposits, stocks, funds, real estate, and other more tangible assets are not that much.

So, you can say that her family is very rich, or you can say that her family doesn’t have much money, depending on how you evaluate the value of those artworks.

No specific information was found about the jade necklace. From Tang Xuesu’s previous photos, it can be inferred that she obtained the necklace when she was about eight years old.

The time matches up perfectly. 15 years ago, when Yang Chen was 10 years old, he saw his mother wearing it. Later, the necklace disappeared. At that time, Tang Xuesu was exactly 8 years old.

More than ten years ago, the internet was not very developed, and there was no concept of big data. Moreover, the Shield Security Group was only established less than ten years ago, so other information cannot be found for the time being.

Yang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to cover Tang Xuesu with the quilt.

Then he lay down on the nearby love swing and fell into deep thought.

After about three hours, Tang Xuesu’s drunkenness passed, and she felt an urgent need to use the restroom, so she opened her eyes.

Seeing herself in a hotel room, she was immediately startled and hurriedly lifted the quilt to check her body. Fortunately, her clothes were all on.

At this moment, she saw Yang Chen lying on the swing next to her.

“Why did you bring me here? Did you do anything to me?” Tang Xuesu asked.

Yang Chen opened his eyes, turned his head to look at her, got up and replied, “Didn’t you ask me to take you to a hotel? I’m a decent person, I didn’t do anything.”

Tang Xuesu patted her head and said, “Why don’t I remember?”

“Hey, that’s not fair. You said yourself that your parents would definitely worry if they saw you drunk, so you asked me to take you to a hotel,” Yang Chen explained.

Tang Xuesu nodded and said, “Okay! Then thank you.”

Yang Chen: “You’re welcome. You’re okay now, I’m leaving.”

Tang Xuesu: “Wait, I’m going to use the restroom, and then you can take me home. If I don’t go home, my parents will definitely still worry.”

Damn, women are so troublesome.

However, for the sake of the necklace, Yang Chen nodded in agreement.

After a while, Tang Xuesu tidied up, and the two checked out and left.

It was almost twelve o’clock, the road conditions were very good, and Yang Chen quickly took her to the destination she had set before.

“Thank you. Add me as a friend, and I’ll transfer the fare and hotel expenses to you,” Tang Xuesu said.

Yang Chen nodded and added Tang Xuesu as a friend, and then she sent a transfer of 1,000 yuan [approximately $140 USD].

Yang Chen didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted the transfer.

Tang Xuesu got out of the car and walked into the alley.

Just as Yang Chen was about to drive away, Tang Xuesu’s roar came from the alley.

“Get out of here! I’m calling the police!”

Yang Chen quickly got out of the car and ran in, Xu Qiang was blocking Tang Xuesu with a few people.

When Xu Qiang saw Yang Chen running over, he immediately said with a smile, “Yo, you’re here! I’ve been waiting for you! Tang Xuesu, go home, this has nothing to do with you. Tonight, this kid must bleed!”

Tang Xuesu turned her head to look at Yang Chen and quickly ran over to stand in front of him, saying, “Xu Qiang, he’s just a ride-hailing driver, why are you making things difficult for him? He just lent me his phone, our business has nothing to do with him.”

Xu Qiang: “Hehe… whether it has anything to do with him is not up to you, but up to me. For the sake of the close relationship between our two families, I won’t make things difficult for you, you go home now.”

“Impossible!” Tang Xuesu said decisively.

Xu Qiang: “Then don’t blame me if you get hurt.”

Yang Chen picked up a stone at his feet and crushed it with a little force. This scene frightened Xu Qiang and his gang, and they all took a step back.

Tang Xuesu looked at Yang Chen in shock, not expecting that a ride-hailing driver would have such abilities.

“Big brother, you have such skills?” Tang Xuesu asked in surprise.

“Hehe… when you’re out and about, who doesn’t have some self-defense skills? Aren’t you guys going to make me bleed? Come on,” Yang Chen said.

The guys Xu Qiang brought immediately chickened out.

A stone was crushed so easily, if he grabbed a part of their body, wouldn’t it be crushed instantly?

“I came out for a walk after dinner and accidentally walked into this alley. It’s getting late, I have to go home and sleep. You guys chat, you guys chat.”

“I came out to find a massage girl, looks like I went to the wrong alley.”

“Drinking is a mistake, how can you not recognize which alley your house is in?”

…

Xu Qiang’s brothers each found an excuse and quickly fled the scene.

Xu Qiang rolled his eyes helplessly, these guys are really disloyal.

However, he himself was also afraid that some part of his body would be crushed by Yang Chen.

“I’m not in good shape today, I’ll let you off. Next time I see you, you won’t be so lucky,” Xu Qiang said pretentiously.

As soon as Yang Chen took a step forward, Xu Qiang was so scared that he ran away.

Tang Xuesu said with a look of surprise: “I didn’t realize you were so amazing. How much can you earn a month driving for a ride-hailing service?”

Yang Chen: “Five or six thousand yuan [approximately $700-$840 USD], maybe.”

Tang Xuesu: “Wow, so little? How do you live in Jingcheng with so little money? How are you going to get a wife in the future?”

Yang Chen: “You can still live if you are thrifty. As for marrying a wife, you can’t force it, it all depends on fate.”

Tang Xuesu shook her head and said, “You can’t have this kind of mentality, young people should work hard. How about this, you come and be my driver and bodyguard, and I’ll give you 50,000 [approximately $7,000 USD] a month. What do you think?”

Yang Chen shook his head and said, “I think it’s more free to be a ride-hailing driver. If I want to work, I can find a better job.”

Tang Xuesu refused to give up and said, “Like this. When I need you, you come over. When I don’t need you, you can arrange your own time freely. The salary is still 50,000 a month, what do you think?”

At this time, Yang Chen noticed the necklace on Tang Xuesu’s neck. After thinking for a few seconds, he nodded with a smile and said, “Okay! But if I don’t want to do it, I can leave at any time. Okay?”

Tang Xuesu thought for a moment, and finally nodded and agreed to Yang Chen.

Actually, Yang Chen also wanted to get close to Tang Xuesu to see if he could figure out how she got that necklace.

“Then go back. Remember to pick me up before nine o’clock tomorrow,” Tang Xuesu said.

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Got it. You go back. I’ll leave after you go inside.”

Tang Xuesu looked at Yang Chen seriously for a few seconds, then turned and walked home.

After Tang Xuesu opened the door and went in, Yang Chen turned and left.

Tang Xuesu’s parents hadn’t slept yet. Hearing the noise outside, they hurried out to check.

Dad Tang Jianguo asked with concern, “Honey, why are you back so late?”

Mom Gao Hong stepped forward and pulled her, asking, “Are you okay? You smell like alcohol.”

Tang Xuesu smiled and said, “Don’t even mention it. That jerk Xu Qiang tricked us. He didn’t have any connections at all; he just wanted to get me drunk. Luckily, I met a kind ride-hailing driver, otherwise I really don’t know what would have happened. Dad, I told you a long time ago that the Xu family is not trustworthy, but you just wouldn’t believe me. Now do you believe what I said?”

Tang Jianguo sighed with great distress and said, “Alright, let’s not talk about it. Go back to your room and rest.”

Tang Xuesu nodded, holding her parents’ hands as they went inside together.

Early the next morning, Yang Chen drove to the outside of the alley and waited.

Before long, Tang Xuesu walked out wearing a professional skirt and black stockings.

Yang Chen honked the horn twice, and Tang Xuesu quickly jogged over.

As the president of Tang’s Group, it would be too embarrassing to be seen riding in Yang Chen’s JAC car [a Chinese automobile manufacturer].

Therefore, Tang Xuesu asked Yang Chen to take her to her house so she could switch to her Panamera to go to the company.

Yang Chen followed Tang Xuesu to the company, and the employees greeted Tang Xuesu one after another.

“Good morning, President Tang!”

“Hello, President Tang!”

Tang Xuesu nodded and took Yang Chen to her office.

The employees whispered to each other.

“Who is that? He’s so handsome!”

“Could he be a new colleague?”

“He should be President Tang’s boyfriend.”

After a while, the HR manager received a call from Tang Xuesu and quickly took the registration form to the president’s office.

Yang Chen is now Tang Xuesu’s driver, so he has to go through the formal employment procedures.

Yang Chen filled out the form casually, and the HR manager quickly completed his employment procedures and brought him a work badge.

Yang Chen put the work badge in his pocket and said, “Then I’ll go. Call me if you need anything.”

Tang Xuesu said hurriedly, “Don’t go out these next few days, in case Xu Qiang catches you. He’s a very vindictive person. He wasn’t prepared last night, but once he’s ready, he will definitely retaliate against you. For safety’s sake, just play games in my office and don’t go anywhere.”

Yang Chen: “Stop it, we agreed that I can arrange my time freely when I don’t have anything to do. Why won’t you let me leave?”

Tang Xuesu: “Oh, I’m not stopping you from leaving, I’m just worried about your safety. Don’t worry, as long as you’re by my side, I will definitely protect you.”

Tang Xuesu put on a strong woman’s demeanor, which looked quite impressive.

Yang Chen smiled helplessly and said, “I thank you, but I can protect myself. Alright, I’m not going to talk to you anymore, I’m going to drive. Call me if you need anything.”

After speaking, Yang Chen turned around and walked over to open the door to leave.

Tang Xuesu hurriedly got up to chase him, but accidentally tripped over the leg of the chair. She staggered and was about to fall when Yang Chen quickly turned around and hugged her.

“President Tang, here are the…” The secretary hadn’t finished speaking when she saw the scene in the office. She quickly shut her mouth, covered her eyes, and closed the door, running away quickly.

“Hey, don’t get me wrong,” Yang Chen said, but unfortunately the secretary had already run far away.

Tang Xuesu quickly stood up straight and hurriedly straightened her clothes.

Yang Chen: “President Tang, you should quickly explain to the secretary to avoid her misunderstanding our relationship.”

Tang Xuesu replied speechlessly, “What? Do you think it’s embarrassing for people to misunderstand our relationship? Am I that bad?”

Yang Chen: “That’s not what I meant. I meant that I’m clearly your driver; don’t let people misunderstand that I’m your boyfriend.”

Tang Xuesu: “So what if they misunderstand? What’s the big deal? Do you think it’s embarrassing to be mistaken for your girlfriend? Do you know how many people want to be my boyfriend, but I don’t even want to look at them. Why do you look like you’re disgusted?”

Alright, female presidents all have strange tempers, so it’s better not to talk nonsense with her.

Yang Chen quickly turned around and ran.

Tang Xuesu wanted to chase and shout, but she didn’t take a step or make a sound.

She closed the door angrily and muttered to herself, “You ungrateful fellow, you could have taken a shortcut by pleasing me, but you can’t even figure that out. What a big idiot.”

Yang Chen walked out of the office building and realized that his car was in the parking space in Tang Xuesu’s residential area.

From now on, he would just drive the JAC car to pick her up and drop her off. It was too inconvenient to switch cars like this.

Yang Chen drove Tang Xuesu’s Panamera to the residential area where Tang Xuesu lived and drove away his JAC car.

At this time, the Tang’s Group employee group was already buzzing with discussion.

“He is the driver President Tang just hired. I just completed his employment procedures.”

“No way? Then why did I see them hugging when I went to deliver the documents just now?”

“Ah? Really? They were hugging?”

“Wow, President Tang is keeping her boyfriend by her side under the guise of a driver.”

“It’s over. I thought there was such a handsome colleague in the company, and I was going to pursue him. Now there’s no chance. I wouldn’t dare to have any ideas about the boss’s man.”

…

On the other side, Yang Chen had just dropped off two passengers when Tang Xuesu called him.

“Hello, President Tang, what’s the matter?” Yang Chen asked.

Tang Xuesu: “Come over quickly; it’s urgent.”

Yang Chen: “Okay, I’ll be right there.”

Yang Chen quickly drove to Tang’s Group and went straight to the president’s office.

“President Tang, did you call me for something?” Yang Chen asked.

Tang Xuesu nodded, picked up a file bag from her side, and said, “Help me send this file bag to the Chaoyang branch of Haicheng Bank.”

Yang Chen was stunned. Didn’t they agree that he would be a driver?

Why does he also have to work as a clerk?

“President Tang, this isn’t appropriate, is it? I’m your driver; this shouldn’t be my job,” Yang Chen said.

Tang Xuesu had a feeling of disappointment and said, “Are you satisfied with just being a driver?”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “I’m quite satisfied.”

Tang Xuesu slammed the table angrily and said, “Don’t you want a promotion and a raise? I’m creating opportunities for you to perform, so there will be a legitimate reason to give you a promotion and a raise, right?”

Yang Chen immediately retorted, “Why should I want a promotion and a raise? How can a driver like me get a promotion?”

Tang Xuesu: “Then you can get a raise! If you don’t think about earning more money, when will you have money to buy a house and marry a wife? You don’t even have a nest; which girl would be willing to marry you?”

Yang Chen retorted again, “Why can’t I find a rich wife and have her earn money to support me?”

Tang Xuesu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

But after thinking about it carefully, what Yang Chen said wasn’t wrong.

Just because he’s so handsome, there will still be many wealthy girls who will take a fancy to him.

For example, Tang Xuesu herself thinks Yang Chen is very good.

The only drawback is that he has no ambition and even has the idea of living off a woman.

Tang Xuesu suddenly realized that it’s a good thing that Yang Chen wants to live off a woman.

“Okay, I won’t force you. Then you can drive me to the bank; is that okay?” Tang Xuesu said.

Yang Chen nodded and said, “That’s okay; it’s my job.”

Tang Xuesu quickly packed her things, picked up her bag, took the file bag, and went out with Yang Chen.

“Huh? Where’s my car?” Tang Xuesu asked.

Yang Chen: “I drove your car to get my car back. From now on, you’ll just ride in my car. It’s too troublesome to switch cars back and forth.”

Tang Xuesu: “I’m a company president; do you think it’s appropriate for me to ride in this kind of car?”

Yang Chen: “There’s no way around it. If you don’t want to ride in it, then take a taxi yourself. I’ll follow behind.”

Tang Xuesu rolled her eyes speechlessly and got into the car reluctantly.

As soon as she got in the car, she lay on the back seat and said, “I didn’t sleep well last night. I’ll take a nap. Wake me up when we get there.”

Yang Chen: “Okay.”

Soon, Yang Chen took Tang Xuesu to the Chaoyang branch of Haicheng Bank.

Tang Xuesu took the file bag and went inside, coming out about half an hour later.

However, she didn’t seem very happy, and she was annoyedly running her hands through her hair, looking very irritable.

“What’s wrong?” Yang Chen asked.

Tang Xuesu sighed and said, “It’s nothing. Let’s try another bank.”

Yang Chen: “The loan application wasn’t approved?”

Tang Xuesu nodded with a look of grievance.

Yang Chen: “What’s the reason?”

Tang Xuesu: “They said they don’t have any quota. Several real estate companies are waiting for loan approval, and they give priority to real estate companies and don’t want to give it to our company.”

Yang Chen: “The market is obviously falling, and they’re still giving loans to real estate companies. Isn’t that a mess? Give me the information; I’ll go talk to them. You wait in the car; don’t go anywhere.”

Tang Xuesu: “It’s no use even if I go; what’s the use of you going?”

Yang Chen: “Just wait patiently for me to come back in the car.”

After speaking, Yang Chen took the file bag and went into the bank.

As soon as he entered, Yang Chen told the lobby manager his identity.

The lobby manager quickly took him to see the president.

When the president saw Yang Chen coming, he quickly got up to greet him.

Yang Chen waved his hand and told him to sit down, then threw the file bag on the table and said, “Why isn’t Tang’s Group’s loan being approved?”

President: “Ah? Does Mr. Yang have a partnership with Tang’s Group?”

Yang Chen: “We have some connections.”

President: “The main reason is that the bank has been a little tight on quotas recently, and there are more high-quality companies waiting for loans, so… But since Mr. Yang has a connection with Tang’s Group, then I will definitely approve it.”

Yang Chen: “Are their qualifications up to par?”

President: “They are qualified.”

Yang Chen: “That’s good. Hurry up and approve it for them. Also, keep my identity a secret; don’t reveal it to anyone. I’m leaving; you’re busy.”

The president wanted to send Yang Chen out, but he refused.

It’s better not to reveal his identity in front of Tang Xuesu for the time being and figure out the origin of her necklace first.

Yang Chen went to the bathroom to relieve himself, and the president immediately called Tang Xuesu to inform her that the loan approval had been passed and to wait for further notice.

Tang Xuesu was shocked. Yang Chen really got it done!

After a while, Yang Chen returned to the car.

Tang Xuesu immediately switched to the passenger seat and asked in surprise, “What’s the situation? How did you convince the president to pass the approval?”

Yang Chen: “It’s very simple. I just described to him how bad the current real estate market is and convinced him not to give loans to real estate companies.”

Tang Xuesu: “Are you kidding me? Is it that simple?”

Yang Chen: “Yes! It’s that simple. Fasten your seat belt; let’s go back.”

Tang Xuesu looked surprised. If she had known it was so simple to get the approval, she would have described to the president how bad the current real estate market is.

Just as Yang Chen was about to drive, he saw that the pendant on Tang Xuesu’s left ear was gone.

“The pendant on your ear is gone,” Yang Chen reminded.

Tang Xuesu quickly touched it and said, “Oh no, I must have accidentally dropped it when I grabbed my hair just now.”

Saying that, she quickly got out of the car to look for it and soon found a pearl that had been crushed.

Tang Xuesu snorted angrily, took off the other earring, and returned to the car angrily.

“It was crushed by someone. Let’s go, back to the company,” Tang Xuesu said.

Yang Chen nodded and drove away.

Before long, they passed a Tiffany store.

Yang Chen stopped the car, ran into the store, swiped his card, and bought a pair of oversized platinum diamond earrings.

“Here, for you,” Yang Chen said.

Even if she is a female president, she can’t resist someone giving her expensive gifts, right?

Yang Chen didn’t want to waste time and wanted to get closer to her as soon as possible so he could ask about the necklace.

Tang Xuesu was stunned for a moment, then gently opened the box. Seeing the exquisite diamond earrings, she smiled happily.

But she immediately realized that something was wrong. He is a ride-hailing driver.

He spent more than 600,000 [currency not specified, presumed local currency] to buy these earrings all at once. How long would it take him to save so much money?

“Yang Chen, you… what do you mean by this? It’s not easy for you to earn money, spending so much money all at once, don’t you… don’t you feel bad?” Tang Xuesu asked.

Yang Chen smiled and said, “Just tell me if you like them.”

Tang Xuesu immediately nodded happily and replied, “I like them.”

Yang Chen: “That’s good. You can always earn more money when you run out; it’s good as long as you like it.”

Tang Xuesu quickly sat up straight, her heart beating uncontrollably faster.

“What does he mean by this? Is he trying to pursue me?” Tang Xuesu thought to herself.

After calming down for a while, Tang Xuesu said,

“Considering that you helped the company get the loan, your salary will be increased to 100,000 a month. If you perform well, you will get a raise in the future. You have to be ambitious. If you don’t earn more money, how will you support your wife? Even if your wife is willing to support you, you still have to save some private money so it’s convenient to buy something you want in the future. Don’t you think so?”

Tang Xuesu’s face was already red when she said this.

Yang Chen glanced at Tang Xuesu and said, “Are you teaching me how to do things?”

Tang Xuesu: “Oh no, that’s not it. I’m just giving you advice. It’s almost time for dinner; let’s go eat first. There’s a very nice restaurant called Aria in front; let’s go there.”

Yang Chen nodded and drove to Aria.

Tang Xuesu put on the earrings in front of the makeup mirror, feeling extremely happy.

Usually, she looks like a high-ranking, cold president, but at this time, she looks as shy as a naive girl in love, looking at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen’s tall nose pierced her heart like a needle. At this moment, she felt that this might be love.

In fact, many young masters had given her expensive gifts before, but she had refused them all.

Therefore, being handsome is the key.

Yang Chen turned his head and glanced at her, smiling and said, “Yes, very beautiful.”

Tang Xuesu smiled shyly and said, “Thank you; your gift is great; I like it very much.”

As she spoke, the car arrived at the parking lot in front of Aria.

Yang Chen parked the car, and the two got out of the car together.

These earrings really had a big effect. Tang Xuesu had already taken the initiative to get close to Yang Chen.

The two were almost walking together, looking like an ambiguous couple on their first date.
