How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 498

Giving an Inch, Taking a Mile? Then You Get Nothing._What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?

Baoli Technology Group primarily deals in the import and export of specialized equipment; in simpler terms, they are arms dealers.

The company also holds the exclusive agency for Ferrari and Maserati in Dragon Country [China], meaning all other dealerships must purchase their stock through them.

The chairman of the company is named Wang Wei, and Wang Qiang is his only son.

Huang Ying’s Harmony Automobile Trading Company is a Ferrari dealership with locations in major cities across the country.

Due to this business connection, Huang Ying and Wang Qiang met five years prior and were romantically involved.

However, Wang Qiang consistently asserted dominance in the relationship, ordering Huang Ying around and resorting to physical abuse whenever he pleased.

Initially, Huang Ying tolerated this behavior for the sake of her family’s business.

But eventually, Wang Qiang’s infidelity became too much to bear, leading Huang Ying to end the relationship.

Since Wang Qiang was at fault, his father, Wang Wei, chose not to deliberately create problems for the Huang family. Furthermore, the Huang family’s Harmony Automobile Trading Company was highly successful, earning the title of best dealer for several years. As a result, both parties acted as if nothing had happened.

Chen Lijun gained a basic understanding of the situation upon learning that Wang Qiang was the son of the chairman of Baoli Technology Group.

Wang Qiang: “I heard you’re getting married? Why didn’t you send me an invitation? We had a relationship, after all; it shouldn’t be so heartless, right?”

Huang Ying: “I didn’t want to see you, so I didn’t send you an invitation. Didn’t my dad send an invitation to your dad? If you want to come, you can come with your dad, right?”

Wang Qiang: “Are you kidding me? I’m a f*cking adult. If you don’t send me an invitation, what’s it look like for me to come with my dad? Are you treating me like a child? Is this your boyfriend? I heard his family deals in Bentley and Volkswagen? Your uncle’s family does Rolls-Royce, right?”

Chen Lijun: “Hello, my name is Chen Li…”

Wang Qiang immediately interrupted: “Call me ex-husband. Also, I’m not interested in knowing who you are.”

Chen Lijun’s face darkened, and he retorted, “Go to hell, who’s your ex-husband? Are you shameless? A relationship doesn’t make you an ex-husband!”

Wang Qiang pointed at Chen Lijun’s forehead and said, “Watch your f*cking mouth. I didn’t want to bother with you, but if you piss me off, I don’t mind bothering with you.”

The son of the chairman of Baoli Technology Group is not someone ordinary people dare to offend.

Wang Zijun felt that his family’s social standing and connections were insignificant compared to Baoli Technology Group, so he decided to remain silent to avoid bringing trouble to his family.

However, Wang Qianni is known for her outspokenness. Yang Chen once described her as a 99-point beauty when silent and a 60-point beauty when speaking, highlighting her talkative nature.

Wang Qianni: “Didn’t you provoke them yourself? What are you putting on airs for? Without your dad, what are you?”

When Wang Qiang noticed Wang Qianni’s beauty and her elegant attire that evening, which made her even more radiant and charming, he immediately had an idea.

“Yo, Huang Ying, I didn’t expect there to be such a beautiful girl in your circle of friends. Why didn’t you introduce her to me when we broke up? Hello, my name is Wang Qiang, and my dad is Wang Wei, the chairman of Baoli Technology Group,” Wang Qiang said with a smile, reaching out to grab Wang Qianni’s hand, his eyes leering at her neck and chest.

Wang Qianni quickly hid behind Yang Chen, shielding her upper body.

Seeing Wang Qiang trying to take advantage of his sister, Wang Zijun quickly interjected, “Young Master Wang, I’m sorry, my sister is very straightforward and has a carefree personality; please don’t mind her. Go and enjoy your evening; we’re going in to eat.”

Since they couldn’t win against him, avoiding conflict was the best course of action.

With Yang Chen present, there would be no need to fear an ordinary second-generation rich kid.

However, Wang Qiang is the son of Wang Wei, the chairman of Baoli Technology Group, and behind Baoli Technology Group stands the immensely powerful Baoli Group.

Companies like Ali Gaga [Alibaba], Penguin Technology [Tencent], and Alphabet Dancing [ByteDance] are all dwarfed by Baoli Group.

In countries like the United States or South Korea, they would be a proper chaebol [family-owned conglomerate] with total assets exceeding one trillion, involved in real estate, film and television, the military industry, and other sectors.

The total assets of nearly two trillion are daunting, but what’s even more intimidating is their background. They are a pure Y enterprise [state-owned enterprise], a level above ordinary state-owned enterprises.

Wang Qiang is not particularly frightening, and even his father, Wang Wei, isn’t that scary, but the background of Baoli Technology Group is somewhat alarming.

Therefore, Wang Zijun didn’t want to cause trouble for Yang Chen, and leaving quickly seemed the wisest choice.

At that moment, a “beauty” with an exaggerated and somewhat repulsive figure approached. Yang Chen immediately recognized her as Wang Qing, the female passenger who had left her phone in his car.

Wang Qing clearly recognized Yang Chen but pretended not to know him.

Wasn’t he the “free duck” [male prostitute] who was angrily calling Wang Qiang?

Thinking of this, Yang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle.

The son of the dignified chairman of Baoli Technology Group being labeled a free duck by his girlfriend was undeniably amusing.

But on second thought, something didn’t add up. The voice of the free duck on the phone was different from Wang Qiang’s.

It seemed this woman was more complex than she appeared, juggling multiple relationships.

Yang Chen’s smile caught Wang Qiang’s attention.

Wang Qiang sized up Yang Chen and asked, “You look unfamiliar; I haven’t seen you before. Brother, what’s your name?”

Yang Chen: “Yang Chen.”

Wang Qiang: “Good name, haha. So, what are you laughing at? Do you think my girlfriend has a great figure?”

Yang Chen: “It’s nothing; I just suddenly remembered something funny and laughed.”

Wang Qing, clearly worried that Yang Chen might reveal something compromising, quickly hugged Wang Qiang and said, “Honey, I’m hungry; let’s go eat quickly.”

Wang Qiang put his arm around her and kissed her passionately, saying, “Huang Ying, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Wang Qing. What do you think? Isn’t her figure much better than yours? Haha…”

Huang Ying glared at Wang Qiang angrily and pulled Chen Lijun away.

Wang Qiang: “Why are you leaving? That’s so rude; you didn’t even say goodbye. Haha…”

It was evident that Wang Qiang was the type of person who couldn’t maintain friendships after a breakup, deliberately trying to provoke his ex.

Upon arriving at the private room,

Huang Ying tearfully apologized to Chen Lijun, hoping he wouldn’t be offended and that it wouldn’t affect their relationship.

Chen Lijun smiled and wiped away her tears, saying, “If it were three years ago, I would definitely break up with you. Now that I’m older, my views on many things have matured. I also have ex-girlfriends, so I’m not qualified to be picky about you having an ex-boyfriend. As long as you are wholeheartedly devoted to me in the future, let’s consider the past as the past.”

Huang Ying smiled and nodded, wiping away her tears with her hand.

Wang Qianni: “Just looking at his wretched appearance makes me angry; I really want to beat him up.”

Wang Zijun: “What nonsense are you talking about? His father is the chairman of Baoli Technology Group, and behind him is Baoli Group. In a foreign country, that’s a chaebol with total assets of over one trillion. Have you thought about the consequences of beating him up?”

Wang Qianni looked unconvinced but had to acknowledge the truth, as she lacked the power to challenge them.

Then, Wang Qianni asked suspiciously, “Brother Chen, what were you laughing at just now? Could it be that you thought that woman’s breasts were too big and it exceeded your understanding?”

Yang Chen rolled his eyes at her.

Wang Zijun hit his sister on the head and said, “How many times have I told you to think before you speak? It’s okay if you talk nonsense to me, but when you talk to Brother Chen and others, can you think about it before you speak?”

Yang Chen: “It’s okay, friends, it doesn’t matter. That woman is called Wang Qing; I just drove her this morning. She dropped her phone in my car, and then a man with the note ‘free duck’ called, so I answered it, wanting to tell Wang Qing to go to the police station to get her phone. That man said he was Wang Qing’s boyfriend, and just now Wang Qiang said Wang Qing was his girlfriend, so I thought the person noted as a free duck was Wang Qiang, and I couldn’t help but laugh.”

Chen Lijun: “Haha… free duck? Wang Qiang is just a duck in her eyes.”

“Haha…”

Yang Chen: “But I thought about it carefully again; the voice of the free duck was different from Wang Qiang’s; it must not be the same person.”

Chen Lijun: “Ah? That’s a pity.”

Yang Chen: “What’s the pity? This shows that Wang Qing is a sea queen [woman who juggles multiple relationships], with many fish in her pond. When she was in the car, she also had a phone call with a person named Chen Bin, arguing about something and threatening the other party that if he didn’t give it to her, she would expose what he had done. In short, this woman is not simple. The son of the dignified chairman of Baoli Technology Group has a sea queen girlfriend; it’s embarrassing to say it.”

Chen Lijun: “Hmm? That’s true. It would be great if he could be exposed as a sea queen in public. If he doesn’t feel ashamed, his father will also feel ashamed, and he will definitely beat him up.”

Yang Chen: “Judging from his performance just now, he will definitely attend your wedding. If he behaves himself, then fine, but if he dares to make trouble, I will help you fulfill your wish.”

Chen Lijun: “Really? Forget it; don’t cause trouble for Brother Chen. Actually, I’m not afraid of him; it’s just that the Baoli Group behind his father is a bit difficult to deal with. If we really anger them, my family, my uncle’s family, and Xiaoying’s family’s businesses may be terminated at any time. If it causes trouble for you, Brother Chen, I will definitely feel guilty and not know how to make up for it. Brother Chen, you should develop stealthily for a while; I believe you will be more powerful than Baoli Group in the future, and then you can help us get revenge. A gentleman takes revenge; ten years is not too late.”

Wang Qianni: “Yes, yes, yes, don’t be impulsive; now is not the time to cause such trouble.”

Yang Chen definitely can’t beat Baoli Group, but it’s impossible for Baoli Group to do anything to him either.

So, if it comes to the point of tearing face, Yang Chen is not afraid.

It’s just that people’s status is different after all, so it’s better not to tear face if possible.

Yang Chen: “Don’t worry; I know what I’m doing. Okay, let’s not talk about that grandson; it’s ruining the mood. Let’s order food and start eating.”

Manager Tan Hongkai personally led the waiters to serve the dishes. Because Yang Chen only ordered food and not wine, he asked, “President Yang, do you need to order wine?”

Yang Chen: “No need; we’re all driving. Friends are just having a meal together; no need for wine to liven things up.”

Wang Zijun: “Yes, yes, yes, no wine; there’s so much good food; who would drink wine?”

Chen Lijun: “Yes, don’t order wine. With so many delicious dishes like lobster and caviar, who would drink wine?”

Tan Hongkai nodded with a smile. After the waiters put all the dishes on the table, he led them out of the private room, leaving two specifically to stand guard at the door to provide service at any time.

Yang Chen and the others had just eaten for a while when Tan Hongkai came over in a hurry.

Tan Hongkai: “President Yang, Wang Qiang said he wanted to send you a bottle of wine to drink. I said you told me not to order wine, but he insisted that I send a bottle over.”

Yang Chen: “Oh, just leave it there.”

Tan Hongkai: “But he asked me to go out and buy a bottle of Snowflake beer to send over; isn’t this deliberately making trouble?”

Chen Lijun: “Damn it, he’s deliberately provoking us. I’ll go talk to him.”

Yang Chen: “What’s there to talk about? We are a high-end restaurant, and the reasonable requests of guests must be met. If he wants you to buy Snowflake, then buy it.”

Tan Hongkai: “Okay, I understand.”

Tan Hongkai withdrew and ordered someone to buy a bottle of Snowflake beer, showed it to Wang Qiang, and then sent it to the private room where Yang Chen and the others were.

Huang Ying: “This person is really annoying; the more I think about it, the more disgusting I feel.”

Wang Qianni: “Sister Ying, how could you have dated him in the first place?”

Huang Ying: “My family is a Ferrari dealer, and Baoli Technology is the sole agent for Ferrari. We have to get goods from Baoli Technology, and I met him at a banquet. At first, I thought he was a good person; he looked okay, he spoke and acted appropriately, and he pursued me very carefully, so I accepted him. Hmm… there was some business influence, and my family also advised me to try it with him. Later, after we were together, I found that he was not as good as he looked on the surface. He often yelled at me, scolded me, and even hit me. I endured all of this, but later I couldn’t bear it when he was cheating on several women. That time was the most humiliating stage of my life, and if possible, I don’t want to think about it again in this lifetime.”

Chen Lijun grabbed Huang Ying’s hand, gently patted the back of her hand, and smiled to give her comfort and encouragement.

Chen Lijun: “I will be with you in the future, and I will definitely make you happy forever.”

Just as he was saying this, Wang Qiang came over with Wang Qing in his arms.

“Haha… Chen Lijun, Huang Ying, is the beer I sent you good? Is it enough for you to share? If not, I’ll ask them to buy more. Huh? Why haven’t you drunk it? What does that mean, not giving me face? I’m inviting you to drink, and you’re not drinking?” Wang Qiang said very annoyingly.

Chen Lijun immediately stood up and said, “Wang Qiang, are you serious? You’ve already broken up; it’s too tasteless to still be entangled like this, right?”

Wang Qiang: “What you said is meaningless; I’m inviting you to drink; how is that tasteless? Can’t you be friends after breaking up? Huang Ying, you tell me yourself, can you still be friends after breaking up? If you don’t answer well, I’ll ask my dad to ask your dad.”

Huang Ying could of course hear that he was using business as a threat, but she really couldn’t solve this problem.

As the sole agent for Ferrari, Baoli Technology has the right to decide the price of goods for each dealer.

The price of Ferraris is very high, and even a 1% increase in the purchase price is a fluctuation of tens of thousands of dollars.

Therefore, Huang Ying didn’t dare to speak.

Chen Lijun wanted to stand up for his fiancée, but his strength was not enough to compete with Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang didn’t take him seriously at all, pushed Chen Lijun, and said with a look of disdain, “What the hell are you? Dare to reach out in front of me, try it.”

Chen Lijun couldn’t bear it any longer and was about to make a move, but Yang Chen quickly stopped him.

Yang Chen stood up, opened the bottle of beer, and poured two glasses of wine.

One glass was placed in front of Wang Qiang, and the other was placed in front of Chen Lijun.

Yang Chen: “Drink this glass of wine, and from now on, you will mind your own business. If you dare to make things difficult for them again, you will be against me.”

Chen Lijun quickly picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp, but Wang Qiang stared at Yang Chen without taking any action.

Wang Qiang: “Grass! Who do you think you are? You want to mediate our affairs? Do you have the strength?”

Yang Chen: “My name is Yang Chen; this restaurant is mine. Xingchen Investment, Xingchen Technology, Xingchen Defense—they are all mine. It may take a little effort to deal with your dad, but it doesn’t take any effort to deal with you.”

Wang Qing immediately said, “Don’t listen to his bragging; he’s just a ride-hailing driver; I’ve been in his car.”

Wang Qiang’s eyes lit up immediately, and he asked excitedly, “Are you sure you saw it right? Are you sure it’s him?”

Wang Qing: “I’m sure it’s him. Didn’t I tell you that my phone was dropped in a ride-hailing car? It was dropped in his car. I went to the Caojinghe Police Station to get it back. If you don’t believe me, you can go there to check the surveillance to see if it’s him.”

Wang Qiang: “Haha… you’re just a ride-hailing driver, and you dare to impersonate President Yang; you’re really brave.”

Tan Hongkai: “Young Master Wang, he is indeed the owner of our Tang Pavilion, and he is indeed the owner of Xingchen Investment, Xingchen Technology, and Xingchen Defense.”

Wang Qiang: “Bullshit! How could the owner of so many big groups drive a ride-hailing car? Besides, even if he is the owner of those companies, so what? I can’t do anything to him, and he can’t do anything to me either. Xingchen Technology and Xingchen Investment have been in the limelight a bit recently, but they are far behind Baoli Group. A private enterprise wants to compare with our Y enterprise? Are you worthy?”

A dog relies on its master’s power, and a fox borrows the tiger’s威风 [prestige], that’s what Wang Qiang is like.

What does Baoli Group have to do with him?

And they are a Y enterprise [state-owned enterprise].

Yang Chen didn’t want to argue, picked up the glass, and splashed the wine on Wang Qiang’s face.

If you don’t want to give face, then don’t have face.

Since they are friends, Yang Chen must stand up to protect Chen Lijun and Huang Ying at this time.

Wang Qiang was furious and raised his fist to strike.

Chen Lijun and Wang Zijun immediately held down his arms on both sides, warning him not to be presumptuous.

“Let him go. Call your dad over; otherwise, don’t think about leaving,” Yang Chen said coldly.

Wang Qiang: “Who do you think you’re scaring!”

At this time, the door of the private room was opened, and Yang Chen’s bodyguards walked in.

Yang Chen: “Send them both back to the private room. Without my order, they are not allowed to leave the private room. Even if they want to shit or pee, they must do it in the private room.”

The bodyguards immediately did as they were told, forcibly taking Wang Qiang and Wang Qing away.

Wang Qiang roared: “You’re courting death! My dad will definitely not let you go! I’m calling the police to sue you for illegally detaining others. You’re done for!”

Yang Chen waved his hand to call Tan Hongkai over and instructed, “He invited me to drink beer, so I have to return the favor. Go out and buy a box of the exact same bottled Snowflake and let him finish it. If he doesn’t drink it, let the bodyguards force him to drink it.”

Tan Hongkai: “Okay. What if he calls the police?”

Yang Chen: “No matter who comes, bring him to see me.”

Tan Hongkai: “Okay. I’ll go take care of it now.”

Soon, the private room returned to calm.

Chen Lijun and the others were all staring at Yang Chen in a daze.

Yang Chen smiled and greeted, “Sit down and eat; the dishes are getting cold.”

Only then did the others react and quickly sat down.

Wang Qianni said with a look of admiration, “Brother Chen, you’re very fierce. Are you really not afraid of Baoli Group?”

Yang Chen: “What’s there to be afraid of? At worst, we’ll destroy each other. Besides, you don’t really think that Baoli Group will fight me to the death for Wang Qiang, do you? You think too highly of him. Baoli Technology is just one of the four major divisions of Baoli Group. They’re not stupid enough at headquarters to destroy each other with me for the son of a division chairman. I can’t do anything to Baoli Group, but can’t I still deal with Wang Qiang?”

Wang Zijun: “Brother Chen is really amazing. If I could reach your level, I would have no regrets even if I never reincarnated again.”

Huang Ying: “Our family has been suppressed by them so badly that we can’t breathe. This time, I finally got a chance to vent my anger. But, I still hope that Brother Chen will be careful and not cause trouble for yourself. It had nothing to do with you in the first place, and if it causes trouble for you, Lijun and I will feel guilty for the rest of our lives and not know how to make up for it.”

Chen Lijun: “Brother Chen, if there’s anything inconvenient to do in the future, just tell me; I’ll do it for you even if it costs me my life.”

Yang Chen: “What are you joking about? I’m a law-abiding citizen; how could I do something that risks my life? Eat, eat; we still have to deal with the people who come to save Wang Qiang later.”

The others nodded and quickly sped up their eating.

About an hour later, Wang Wei arrived at Tang Pavilion with people.

Tan Hongkai followed Yang Chen’s instructions and brought him to the private room.

He could not greet other people, but Huang Ying had to greet him; after all, whether her family’s dealer status could be maintained was up to him.

Seeing that Huang Ying was also there, Wang Wei basically understood what was going on.

“Xiaoying, what do you mean by this?” Wang Wei asked angrily.

Yang Chen: “Director Wang, it has nothing to do with them; it’s between your son and me; you can talk to me.”

Wang Wei: “You are Yang Chen?”

Yang Chen: “Yes, I am Yang Chen.”

Although Wang Wei was very upset, he knew better than his son how honorable Yang Chen’s identity was.

“Hello, President Yang, nice to meet you. I am Wang Wei, chairman of Baoli Technology Group,” Wang Wei reached out his hand.

Yang Chen always reciprocates courtesy, and he will treat the other party with courtesy if they greet him politely.

“Hello, Director Wang, please sit down,” Yang Chen stood up and shook hands in return.

Wang Wei sat down and said, “I don’t know what misunderstanding happened between my son and President Yang; why are you holding him back?”

Yang Chen: “I invited my friends to eat at my restaurant, and we were having a good time, but your son forced the manager to go out and buy me a bottle of Snowflake beer that costs three dollars a bottle. If it were you, would you be happy?”

Wang Wei didn’t speak.

Yang Chen: “But, I thought that this is my restaurant, and he is a guest, so as long as he doesn’t do anything too outrageous, I will pretend that nothing happened. But he shouldn’t have, he shouldn’t have come to the private room with a woman to provoke me. He even insulted me and asked me who I thought I was. Then I have to let him know who I am; otherwise, the next time I see him, he will dare to question me in public who I think I am. Director Wang, who do you think I am? Am I qualified to reprimand him a few words? Or rather, is he qualified to provoke me?”

Wang Wei stared at Yang Chen without daring to speak easily.

Wang Wei was dealing with Yang Chen for the first time, and he didn’t know what his temper was like. He only heard that Yang Chen was very powerful, making money and doing scientific research at the same time. The most important thing was that he had the Xingchen Defense Group to ensure his life safety.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Yang Chen only had Xingchen Technology and Xingchen Investment, Wang Wei would not have sat down to talk to him so calmly, and he should have been angry with him as soon as he entered the door.

After all, the status of Baoli Group is there, and Wang Wei believes that he does not need to be afraid of Yang Chen.

Wang Wei stared at Yang Chen for at least half a minute before he smiled and said, “Of course, President Yang is of course qualified to reprimand him a few words. Where is my son? I want to ask him in person, and if it is really as President Yang said, I will let him apologize to President Yang.”

Yang Chen: “Manager Tan, take Director Wang to see Young Master Wang.”

Tan Hongkai nodded and took Wang Wei to the private room where Wang Qiang was.

As soon as he entered the private room, Wang Wei’s mind almost exploded.

His son was being force-fed beer by several strong men.

Wang Wei quickly rushed up to push the strong men away, but he found that his strength was not enough to push them away.

“Stop it! What are you doing? Someone, push them away!” Wang Wei roared.

The followers Wang Wei brought quickly stepped forward and wanted to fight the bodyguards, when Yang Chen’s voice came.

“What, Director Wang wants to fight here? Then the nature will change, and even if your son apologizes, it will be useless.”

Wang Wei asked angrily, “Why are you torturing my son like this? Even if he is wrong, I should teach him myself, and it is not your turn to torture him like this! You are committing a crime!”

Yang Chen: “Is that so? Then you can call the police and arrest me.”

Wang Wei: “You…”

Wang Qiang couldn’t hold it anymore and turned over and vomited.

Wang Wei quickly stepped forward and patted his son’s back, asking with concern, “Xiaoqiang, how are you? How do you feel?”

Wang Qiang didn’t have time to wipe the vomit from his mouth, and cried to his father, “Dad, you must avenge me! You must avenge me! If I don’t avenge this, I can’t live on!”

Wang Wei clenched his fists angrily, turned his head sharply and glared at Yang Chen angrily, the hatred in his eyes almost overflowing, looking scary.

Yang Chen: “Director Wang, why are you looking at me like that? Your son sent me wine, so I have to return the favor.”

Wang Wei: “You are too arrogant; do you really think you can be arrogant just because you are successful?”

Yang Chen: “Am I arrogant? We came to eat, but we didn’t provoke your son. But your son provoked us once outside the restaurant, and then sent wine to provoke us again, and finally even came to the private room in person to continue provoking us, and even wanted to attack me in front of me. You are the only one who cares about face; isn’t my face face? I gave him a chance; he scolded and humiliated me, and I said to drink this glass of reconciliation wine, and from then on, we will mind our own business, and if he troubles Chen Lijun and Huang Ying again, he will be provoking me. But he refused. You didn’t educate your son well, so I’m helping you educate him. If you don’t agree, you can ask your headquarters to talk to me. As for you, you are not worthy to negotiate with me now. If Wang Qiang doesn’t apologize today, he can forget about leaving Tang Pavilion!”

Wang Wei: “Extremely arrogant, bullying too much! I’m going to fight you to the end today; I’ll see if you are really lawless!”
