How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 40

The Impatient Passenger

Two days later, Yang Chen woke up in the morning.

While brushing his teeth, Yang Chen received a call from Chen Zhichao, the manager of the Sea Financial Building management office.

As per Yang Chen’s instructions, Chen Zhichao had already negotiated with Zhang Jingyan’s wife and bought all the office equipment of Jingyan Advertising Company for 200,000 yuan.

This way, Yang Chen’s new advertising company could start operating as soon as the business license was displayed.

It saved the trouble of purchasing office supplies and other chores. Plus, the employees could continue to work in their original office spaces, which was beneficial in every way.

Yang Chen called Xu Xiaoli.

“Hey, Xiaoli, the company is ready. Tell everyone to come to work now. Remember to hold a meeting first to let them know that our company is now called Chenguang Advertising Company, not Jingyan Advertising Company anymore. All things related to Jingyan in the office must be removed and replaced with Chenguang’s promotional slogans, etc.”

Yang Chen had previously said that he would make Xu Xiaoli the manager. In recent days, she had been reading some management books and felt well-prepared.

“Okay, okay. Then I will inform everyone now and go back to work at the company,” Xu Xiaoli replied quickly.

“Okay. Go ahead and do it. Call me if you need anything,” Yang Chen said.

Xu Xiaoli quickly replied, “Okay, okay. I’ll do it now.”

Around 3 PM, Zhao Yun sent Yang Chen a WeChat message.

“Sister Yang, can you pick me up at six o’clock? I have something to tell you and want to hear your opinion. I also want to ask you for a favor.”

Yang Chen replied with an “Okay” and continued to accept ride requests.

At this time, the platform system pushed an order.

Yang Chen looked at it and saw that it was an order to Hongqiao Railway Station.

It would take about 40 minutes to get to Hongqiao Railway Station from here, and then it would be closer to go to Normal University from Hongqiao Railway Station.

Yang Chen quickly grabbed the order and followed the navigation to find the passenger.

Soon, Yang Chen picked up the passenger.

“Master, why did you take so long to get here?” the female passenger complained as soon as she got in the car.

Yang Chen explained, “When I accepted the order, I was kilometers away from you. I had to go around an overpass exit, so it took more time.”

Female passenger: “Why did you accept the order if you were so far away?”

Yang Chen: “The system assigned it to me. I happened to be going to the train station, so I accepted it.”

Female passenger: “Do you know that I’m in a hurry? My train leaves in half an hour, and you delayed me for five minutes by picking me up. If I miss the train, you have to reimburse me for the ticket.”

Yang Chen: “Half an hour? You definitely won’t make it. Even if I drive very fast to get you to the train station, you won’t be able to catch the train. Hongqiao Railway Station is very big, and it will take you several minutes to run there after getting off the car. It’s impossible to make it in time. You should reschedule.”

Female passenger: “No! My neighbor told me that my husband brought a woman home. I have to go back and see what’s going on. Stop talking nonsense and drive faster!”

*She’s going home to catch her husband cheating.*

Yang Chen sympathized with her, so he didn’t say any more and tried to speed up to Hongqiao Railway Station.

Twenty minutes passed.

Female passenger: “There are only ten minutes left before the train leaves. How long will it take?”

Yang Chen: “About 10-15 minutes. The train station is quite congested, so the speed will be very slow.”

Female passenger: “Oh no, my train leaves in 10 minutes. You have to find a way to help me.”

Yang Chen: “Miss, what can I do?”

Female passenger: “Aren’t you ride-hailing drivers supposed to provide services? Shouldn’t you find a way to meet my needs?”

Yang Chen: “Miss, that’s true, but providing services has to be within our capabilities.”

Female passenger: “I don’t care. If you don’t find a way to help me, I’ll give you a bad review and complain about you.”

Yang Chen sighed lightly. *He’s met another difficult customer.*

Yang Chen: “Miss, why didn’t you leave earlier to catch the train? When you called for a car, there were only half an hour left. It normally takes 40 minutes to drive from your location to the station. How can I help you? If it really doesn’t work, get out and flag down a police car to take you there.”

Female passenger: “Ah? Is that okay? Do police cars not have to wait for red lights?”

Yang Chen: “…”

Yang Chen swallowed and said, “Theoretically, they have the right to run red lights. Why don’t you give it a try?”

The female passenger nodded and took out her phone to call the police.

Yang Chen was stunned. *Is this woman stupid?*

*Can’t she tell good advice from bad?*

Soon, the call connected.

Female passenger: “Hello, I need a police car to take me to Hongqiao Railway Station. My train leaves in ten minutes, and the driver said it will take him 10-15 minutes to get me there. It will also take time for me to get from the parking lot to the ticket gate. So, please send a car to pick me up and take me to the train station.”

Yang Chen couldn’t help but glance at her. *She doesn’t look stupid, so why is her brain so abnormal?*

Operator: “I’m sorry, we don’t provide such services.”

Female passenger: “Aren’t the police supposed to solve problems for the people? Why don’t you provide such services?”

Operator: “We do solve problems for the people, but your situation is not within our service scope. Do you have any other needs? If not, please hang up and don’t delay others from calling for help. Thank you for your cooperation.”

Female passenger: “What’s your attitude? I’m going to complain about you!”

“Beep beep beep…”

The female passenger was furious and roared and complained at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen’s brain was about to explode from her noise, so he quickly said, “Miss, Miss, why don’t you call the train station and ask them to wait for you?”

Female passenger: “Huh? That makes sense. I bought a ticket. If I don’t arrive, they can’t leave.”

After speaking, she called the train station.

Yang Chen was completely impressed.

But this is also good. If she argues with the train station customer service for a while, they will arrive at Hongqiao Railway Station.

Female passenger: “Hello. My train ticket is for a train that leaves in 5 minutes. Can you notify the driver to not leave yet and wait for me? I’ll be there soon, in ten minutes at most.”

Customer service: “I’m sorry, I can’t notify the driver to wait for you. If you can’t make this train, you can come over and reschedule.”

Female passenger: “I bought a ticket and spent money. Why are you leaving if I haven’t arrived? I’m telling you, you must notify the driver to wait for me, or I’ll complain about you.”

Customer service: “I’m sorry, I have no right to notify the driver to wait for you. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up. There are many other passengers who need my help. Thank you for calling and have a pleasant life.”

The female passenger was furious and hit Yang Chen’s seat hard, saying, “What’s their attitude? I spent money. Why can’t they wait for me a few minutes when I haven’t boarded the train yet!”

Yang Chen: “Miss, Miss, don’t get excited. Getting excited won’t solve the problem. I think you can complain about them, or you can post this on the internet and ask hundreds of millions of netizens [internet users] to help you. One person’s power is limited, but the power of one hundred million people is enormous. They will definitely apologize to you and compensate you for your losses. We can’t take this lying down, right?”

The female passenger nodded and said, “That makes sense. When I get home, I will definitely post this on the internet. Oh no, are we there yet? How much longer?”

“We’re here, we’re here. We’ve already entered the station. You can get off at the drop-off point ahead,” Yang Chen replied.

“But my train has already left. It’s so frustrating. They would have died if they waited a few minutes for me!” the female passenger complained.

Yang Chen stopped the car and said, “Right, right, right! They’re too outrageous. You must complain about them. Take your things and welcome to ride Bipi Taxi again next time.”

“I won’t ride it again. You delayed my business,” the female passenger grumbled, then got out of the car and ran away.

Yang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and then couldn’t help but laugh.

*The world is a diverse place, and you meet all kinds of people.*

*There are even such strange individuals.*

Yang Chen quickly drove out of the train station and followed the navigation to Normal University to find Zhao Yun.

More than twenty minutes later, Yang Chen arrived in the vicinity of Normal University.

Today is Friday, and there are many luxury cars parked in front of Normal University.

From time to time, beautifully dressed girls get into luxury cars and leave.

Yang Chen is used to this phenomenon.

When he was in college, the same thing happened in front of the University of Finance and Economics every Friday afternoon.

Now many girls like to “work and study diligently” [a euphemism for dating wealthy men].

Because there were too many cars, Yang Chen couldn’t drive over at all.

Therefore, he could only park the car far away on the side of the road and walk to the gate to find Zhao Yun.

Just as he was about to get out of the car, the Bipi platform sent a message.

The female passenger just gave him a bad review.

“What a trash driver. It took 5 minutes to drive a kilometer. Is there any difference between that and a turtle crawling? If it weren’t for delaying those 5 minutes, I wouldn’t have missed the train. He could have driven faster, but he insisted on driving slowly at only 60 on the road. Why is he driving a ride-hailing car if he drives so slowly?”

Although a bad review is not a good thing for Yang Chen, he still felt very wronged.

He had already driven the city road like a highway, but this difficult passenger was still not satisfied.

She left too late herself but blamed the driver.

Damn it!

At this time, the system issued a reminder.

“Congratulations, master, for receiving a bad review. The system rewards the master with a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport sports car. With it, the master will no longer be despised for driving too slowly.”

This car is the most top-level version of the Veyron’s targa model [a car with a removable roof panel].

It is known as the world’s most powerful vehicle and one of the fastest vehicles in the world.

It accelerates from 0-100km/h in seconds, 0-200km/h in seconds, 0-300km/h in seconds, 0-400km/h in seconds, and has a top speed of 430km/h.

In short, one word: “fast.”

The system is so considerate. Yang Chen was just criticized by the passenger for being too slow, and now he is given a super sports car.

Although Yang Chen doesn’t know what this car looks like, just the words Bugatti Veyron are worth tens of millions [of yuan, a Chinese currency].

With it, I will be one of the fastest men in the world in the future!

Love it, love it…
