How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 506

Yang Chen chatted with the engineers until after 2 AM before leaving, finally passing on all the artificial weather manipulation technology to them.

However, Yang Chen specifically instructed them not to produce any physical objects for the time being, and to wait for the Star Technology materials research team to develop the new stealth material before making the actual products.

Although he has Yang Chen’s name as a backing, Star Technology and Star Defense are, after all, private enterprises. If they want to seize market share from companies like Baoli Group, they must have something special.

What if the artificial rainmaking bombs produced by Star Defense have stealth capabilities, undetectable even by the most advanced air defense systems? Wouldn’t that be special enough?

After all, today this shell can be used for artificial rain, and tomorrow it can become a “delivery” for eliminating targets.

Baoli Technology is still complacent about selling equipment worth 30 million USD to the US. Yang Chen is already playing with high-end technology here.

Just wait, if Yang Chen wants to take away their business, they will have to give it up.

Yang Chen drove to Tomson Riviera to check out the newly bought duplex apartment.

“The Captain of China” has been released for four days. The box office exceeded 200 million on the first day and continues to surge at a daily growth rate of no less than 150 million.

According to this box office growth rate, it is not difficult for the box office to exceed 1 billion by the end of the National Day holiday, and the total box office is expected to approach 3 billion.

If it eventually earns 3 billion at the box office, then Yang Chen’s Star Investment will gain a net profit of more than 400 million.

Although this amount of money is nothing to Yang Chen, a movie earning a net profit of 400 million is still a rare occurrence in the film industry.

Some movies have a box office of 5 billion, but because there are too many investors involved, each investor doesn’t get much money.

Therefore, “The Captain of China” will definitely become another successful venture for Star Investment.

To better promote the movie, the main cast and crew have been doing promotions in various cities across the country for the past half month.

Lin Yiren has already boarded the plane from Kuncheng back to Haicheng and will arrive at a little after 1:00 PM.

Before boarding, Lin Yiren sent a message to Yang Chen.

“Your baby is ready to board the plane and will arrive at 1:50 PM. Please be prepared to welcome her. Since your baby has been very tired recently, please come forward and pick her up as soon as you see her. Reply when received.”

Yang Chen, who had just finished a ride, checked the message and couldn’t help but smile when he saw the message from Lin Yiren.

“Received, I’m ready to welcome my baby.”

Putting away his phone, Yang Chen continued to drive.

After a while, Yang Chen picked up a female passenger.

Judging by her age, she should be quite old, at least close to forty.

As soon as she got in the car, she started chatting on her phone, but as she chatted, she angrily threw her phone aside.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked, “Handsome, do you think I’m wrong to want to find a man who also earns 30,000 a month to marry when I earn 30,000 a month?”

Yang Chen: “No, you’re not.”

Female passenger: “I have a house and a car, and no loans. Am I wrong to want to find a man who has a house and a car with no loans?”

Yang Chen: “No, you’re not.”

Female passenger: “My parents both have pensions, and neither is less than 10,000. I want my husband’s parents to also have pensions, at least no less than 5,000.”

Yang Chen shook his head and said, “No, you’re not.”

Female passenger: “I’m 168cm tall [approximately 5 feet 6 inches], is it wrong to want to find someone who is 180-185cm tall [approximately 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet 1 inch]?”

Yang Chen: “That can’t be considered wrong either.”

Female passenger: “But why can’t I find anyone? And when I make these requests, not only do the blind date partners mock me, but even the employees of the matchmaking agency are sarcastic and subtly criticize me. Do you think they have a problem with their brains?”

Yang Chen: “How old are you? How old of a partner are you looking for?”

Female passenger: “I’m 37 years old, and I want to find someone who is plus or minus 5 years old.”

Yang Chen: “32-42 years old, the first choice for men in this age group should be women aged 23-30. For most men, the priority is appearance and age. For men with good conditions, especially those with the conditions you just mentioned, they can be said to have no worries about money. It doesn’t matter if their other half is a beggar, as long as she is young, beautiful, and has good character. They won’t consider the woman’s wealth too much. Do you understand what I mean?”

Female passenger: “Are you kidding me? Which twenty-something girl would look for a thirty or forty-year-old uncle? I feel disgusted when I see older men at my age, wouldn’t twenty-something girls be even more disgusted?”

Yang Chen: “That’s not necessarily true. Some girls don’t mind. They are willing to be mistresses to some bald, pot-bellied men. Wasn’t there a couple exposed online a few days ago?”

The female passenger was instantly speechless. She wanted to say something to refute Yang Chen, but couldn’t find a suitable reason, and just looked at Yang Chen’s profile with a face full of unwillingness.

Yang Chen was afraid of hurting her confidence, so he quickly added: “What I said is just an individual case, it doesn’t represent everyone. Maybe your fate hasn’t arrived yet. You’ve already waited so many years, so you don’t mind waiting a few more years. Right?”

The female passenger nodded and said, “That’s true. It took me fifteen years to get to this level. Wouldn’t it be a big loss to lower my standards at this time? I can only blame the current men for being too useless. There aren’t any suitable-aged men who are worthy of me. Seriously, if a man can’t even earn 30,000 yuan a month, is he worthy of being a man?”

Yang Chen said unhappily: “It’s not right for you to say that. There are many men and women who earn more than you. Can they also say that you are useless and not worthy of being a woman?”

The female passenger said with disdain: “Women are different from men. A woman’s monthly salary of 3,000 is equivalent to a man’s monthly salary of 30,000. My monthly salary of 30,000 is at least equivalent to a man’s monthly salary of 300,000.”

Yang Chen: “Ah, yes, yes, yes, you’re right. Your fate hasn’t arrived yet, it will arrive if you wait a little longer. You must never settle. I have a relative in my hometown who was single until she was fifty years old. Last year, she went to Dubai for tourism and was spotted by a Dubai prince. He gave her a dowry of 100 million, plus a sea view villa and 10 sports cars, and married her off in a grand manner.”

Female passenger: “What do you mean? Why are you saying these things sarcastically? Are you discriminating against older women?”

Yang Chen: “I don’t mean to discriminate against older women. Don’t put a hat on me [don’t accuse me]. I’m just simply encouraging you not to give up.”

Female passenger: “Stop arguing. You are discriminating against older girls. I earn at least 30,000 a month, have a house and a car, and my parents have pensions. What right do you, a ride-hailing driver, have to discriminate against me? I may be a little older, but I definitely don’t like people like you. You are not qualified to discriminate against me.”

Yang Chen: “Yes, yes, yes, you’re right.”

Seeing Yang Chen being so perfunctory, the female passenger’s mentality instantly collapsed.

“I’m so angry, and you look like you don’t care?” the female passenger questioned.

Yang Chen: “Then what kind of reaction do you want me to give you?”

Female passenger: “Shouldn’t you quickly apologize to me?”

Yang Chen: “Damn! Lady, what did I do that I have to apologize to you?”

Female passenger: “You discriminate against older girls! And you are not qualified to discriminate against older girls! So you are guilty of heinous crimes and must apologize to me.”

Yang Chen pulled over to the side of the road, opened the back door, and said, “I’ll end the order for you, get out yourself.”

The female passenger looked outside and said angrily, “We haven’t reached the destination yet, why are you ending the order and letting me out? I won’t get out of the car here unless you take me to the 4S store [car dealership].”

Yang Chen looked at the time, it was 10:30, it was time to have a cup of coffee and take a break.

“Then you sit here, I’ll go have a cup of coffee,” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Seeing Yang Chen really get out of the car and leave, the female passenger hurriedly shouted: “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll damage your car?”

Yang Chen: “There is surveillance in my car. If you deliberately damage other people’s property, go tell the police how to deal with it.”

Female passenger: “You…aren’t you afraid that I’ll give you a bad review? You dropped me off halfway, I can also complain about you.”

Yang Chen: “Whatever, that’s your right.”

After speaking, Yang Chen left without looking back.

The female passenger was furious, took out her phone, typed a review, and muttered to herself: “I don’t believe it, can’t I, a passenger, deal with you?”

The female passenger wrote a long review of more than 500 words, and specially checked and revised it twice before sending it out.

As a result, it disappeared the moment it was sent.

Her mentality completely collapsed, and she immediately called customer service.

The customer service was too lazy to listen to what she was saying, and hung up the phone after a few perfunctory words.

The female passenger stared blankly at her phone, unable to accept this situation for a while.

Bad reviews are automatically deleted, customer service ignores complaints, is the Bipi platform [ride-hailing app] so trash?

“I’m so angry, when have I ever been so angry! I must expose this trash driver and platform!” the female passenger said angrily.

Then, she angrily got out of the car and took another ride to the 4S store to pick up her car.

At this time, Yang Chen in the coffee shop also received a system reward.

“Congratulations to the host for receiving a bad review, the system rewards the host with a cash deposit of 50 billion USD. This reward will be deposited into the host’s accounts in several Swiss banks. This reward takes effect immediately.”

“The system detects that the host has been complained about, triggering a critical reward, the system rewards the host with 200 billion USD. This reward will be deposited into the host’s accounts in several Swiss banks. This reward takes effect immediately.”

Eh?

The system has almost never given cash rewards, what does it mean to give two cash rewards in a row this time?

Soon, Yang Chen successively received notifications from several Swiss banks.

A total of 250 billion USD was credited to 5 banks, and now he holds a total of 685 billion USD in his personal account.

Not bragging, money is just a string of numbers to Yang Chen now, it has no special meaning, and it can’t even cause a big fluctuation in his emotions. I really don’t know what the system is for rewarding this money.

After sitting in the coffee shop for more than an hour, it was time for lunch again.

Yang Chen paid the bill and left to find a restaurant to eat.

At this time, the female passenger also arrived home and immediately opened her computer to post on Weibo [Chinese Twitter], Xiaohongshu [Chinese Instagram], etc.

“Family members, who understands, today I met a Puxin and Xia Tou [condescending and narrow-minded] ride-hailing driver. My Panamera [Porsche model] is being maintained in the 4S store, and today I called a ride-hailing car to pick up the car…”

“Wow, he is a ride-hailing driver, and he actually looks down on me who earns more than 30,000 a month, has a house and a car with no loans, and whose parents have more than 10,000 retirement income and is the only child in the family. Sisters, do you think he is very funny…”

“What makes me most angry is that the Bipi platform [ride-hailing app] actually swallowed my bad review for him. I called to complain, and the customer service actually hung up after a few perfunctory words. @Bipi Group, may I ask if your platform serves users like this? Are your platform’s drivers so uncultured? You must give me an explanation, otherwise this matter is not over!”

……

The female passenger wrote a long essay of more than 1,000 words and posted it on various platform accounts. She didn’t even eat lunch, and waited for people who smelled like her to post comments to support her.

As everyone knows, Weibo and Hongshu and other platforms are not for serious people to play, and they are full of various opposing remarks.

Therefore, the female passenger’s essay quickly attracted a large number of netizens to comment and support.

Seeing so many people leaving messages to support her, she instantly became arrogant, and actually exposed the appearance of Yang Chen’s car, and the license plate number was clearly visible.

Yu Shishi, who was browsing Weibo, saw the Weibo and photos posted by the female passenger, and quickly took a screenshot and sent it to Yang Chen.

After reading it, Yang Chen was a little angry, and immediately wanted to send a message to the person in charge of the relevant platform, ordering them to immediately block the account.

But then he thought that if he blocked her account like this, netizens would still misunderstand that he really discriminated against older women.

Of course, they don’t know who Yang Chen is, and it has no substantial impact on him.

But Yang Chen can’t condone this kind of behavior of posting essays to slander other people’s innocence, and must let the public know the truth.

So Yang Chen cut off the video and audio in the car and sent it to Qiu Yuhong.

“Director Qiu, blur that woman’s face and let the media post it on the Internet.”

Qiu Yuhong did as he was told, and posted it on the Internet in the time it took for a meal.

Yang Chen also sent messages to the heads of Weibo and other platforms, ordering them to promote the video and audio traffic.

Soon, videos and recordings spread on Weibo, Hongshu, Douyin [TikTok in China] and other platforms.

As the video and audio spread, public opinion immediately changed.

Especially those netizens who earn less than 30,000 a month are expressing their anger.

Soon, omnipotent netizens dug up her personal information.

Her name is Wang Ziyu, and she is an online store model + owner.

Her parents are ordinary workers, and their retirement income adds up to less than 10,000 yuan, not the more than 10,000 she said.

And the most damaging thing is that she was a mistress when she was young, and the houses and cars were given by others. Because of this, she delayed finding a partner and is still single.

As this series of explosive materials were exposed, Wang Ziyu completely panicked.

She quickly wanted to delete those essays, but found that she couldn’t operate her account.

Then, Zhang Xiang posted a Weibo and @ Wang Ziyu.

“Entrusted by Mr. Yang, I will fully represent Mr. Yang in suing Ms. Wang for spreading rumors and smearing Mr. Yang. The relevant Weibo and photos have been viewed over 100 million times, and the number of reposts and likes has exceeded one million, which has a particularly huge impact and a particularly bad nature. Mr. Yang clearly requires that the matter be investigated to the end, and Ms. Wang must be held criminally responsible. Please netizens who do not know the truth not to believe or spread rumors, and take the initiative to delete relevant remarks. My client reserves the right to pursue relevant legal responsibilities.”

Fans and netizens came to leave comments.

“Zhang San [a common placeholder name for a lawyer], be sure to send her to prison. My life is already very difficult, and I have to be scolded by her for not being a man. Who did I provoke? I am not a man if I earn less than 30,000 a month?”

“I’m so angry, if I’m willing to serve a rich woman, can’t I earn less than 30,000 a month? She is a mistress, why does she look down on me who relies on my hands to eat? She must be sent to prison to see who dares to say those brain-dead words in the future.”

“This ride-hailing driver is great, you can’t get used to this kind of person, you must investigate to the end!”

……

Wang Ziyu was afraid, and quickly took the initiative to surrender to the police station, and asked the police station to contact Yang Chen. She apologized to Yang Chen in person, hoping that the two parties could reconcile.

At this time, Yang Chen was waiting for Lin Yiren at the airport gate, and the police station called him.

After listening to the police comrades, Yang Chen said very clearly: “You tell her that there is no possibility of reconciliation in this matter, and she must pay the price for her behavior. I am picking up my girlfriend at the airport, and I have no time to deal with this trivial matter, don’t call me.”

After speaking, Yang Chen hung up the phone.

The police comrades relayed Yang Chen’s words to Wang Ziyu.

Wang Ziyu cried in fear on the spot.

“I really know I was wrong, I really have the sincerity to apologize to him, why doesn’t he accept my apology. Wuwu… I don’t want to go to jail, police comrades, please, please help me contact him to say something nice. I am 37 years old and haven’t gotten married yet. If I am really sent to prison by Zhang Xiang, even if it is only a six-month sentence, my life will be completely over. Please, please.”

Cry!

What’s the use of crying now?

When I was exchanging experiences with those like-minded fools before, wasn’t it very fun?

Now that I am being held accountable, I am crying and saying that others do not accept her apology.

Does it mean that she can write essays to spread rumors about others, and when she is held accountable, others have to accept her apology if she wants to apologize?

What are you thinking?

The police comrades said helplessly: “I have already told him, and he clearly stated that he would not accept reconciliation. He is picking up his girlfriend at the airport now, and he has no time to deal with this trivial matter. You, you should hire a lawyer, and there may be a chance to communicate through a lawyer. What’s the use of you crying now? When you spread rumors about others, did you think about the current situation?”

Wang Ziyu: “Of course I didn’t expect it to be this situation, otherwise how could I have posted those?”

Damn!

What she said makes sense, and the police comrades are speechless.

So, in the end, she didn’t think she was wrong, but the current situation scared her, and she had to apologize to protect herself.

At this time, Zhang Chengcheng published an apology letter on his personal social account and in several provincial-level or above media publications, expressing his sincere apology to Yang Chen and Gao Ning, and said that he was determined to learn from the pain, deeply reflect, and would not make such mistakes in the future.

Sharp-eyed netizens discovered a detail. The lawyer in this case was also Zhang Xiang, and the plaintiff was also Mr. Yang, and both were ride-hailing drivers.

Could it be that Mr. Yang in these two cases is the same person?

“I lost it [I can’t believe it], has this ride-hailing driver awakened?”

“I didn’t expect that a ride-hailing driver would be the first to stand up.”

“This ride-hailing driver is not simple, he can actually make such a big noise.”

“I won’t say anything else, I’ll give this ride-hailing driver a thumbs up. When I get off the car and see this license plate, I will definitely salute the hero.”

“Brothers, I’m at the airport, is this the license plate of that big brother?”

……

At this time, at the airport.

Yang Chen was looking forward to Lin Yiren, when a young man with a mobile phone came over.

Young man: “Are you Brother Yang? The one who asked Zhang Xiang to sue for spreading rumors and slander?”

Yang Chen: “No, you may have made a mistake.”

Young man: “Brother, that old woman surnamed Wang has exposed your license plate number, just admit it.”

Damn it, this license plate number exposure is really annoying.

However, Yang Chen still didn’t want to admit it, and said with a smile: “Then you are talking about my friend, I am driving his car to pick up my girlfriend. Sorry, my girlfriend is out, I won’t talk to you.”

After speaking, Yang Chen got out of the car and walked towards Lin Yiren, who was pulling her suitcase and walking quickly.

Yang Chen kept his promise and stepped forward to pick her up.

Lin Yiren happily hugged his neck and kissed him, and said, “Your little baby is back.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… I have already picked up the little baby. How is it, how does it feel to be a star?”

Lin Yiren’s performance in the role of flight attendant in “The Captain of China” is very good, and she is beautiful, and her figure and temperament are first-class. Yang Zhen has decided to try to promote her, to see if she can make her popular.

And there are other film and television dramas from other companies that want to invite Lin Yiren to star in the role of a flight attendant, and they are currently in negotiations.

As long as Lin Yiren performs well, with sufficient resources, there is a high probability that she will become popular, but it is hard to say whether she can continue to be popular, after all, she is not a professional, and there is a possibility that the audience will abandon her after aesthetic fatigue.

However, that’s all for later. By the time the audience is aesthetically tired, Lin Yiren should have earned enough money to spend for the rest of her life.

Lin Yiren pouted and replied: “It feels so cool and so tired, so contradictory.”

Yang Chen: “It must be tiring to be a star, the workload is large, and you have to rush to announcements everywhere. However, you also earn more money accordingly, and there will always be rewards for your efforts.”

Lin Yiren: “That’s true. Have you eaten?”

Yang Chen: “I ate a little, but I wasn’t full, and now I’m hungry again.”

Lin Yiren: “Hee hee… Let’s go, I’ll treat you to dinner.”

Yang Chen nodded with a smile and put down Lin Yiren.

The two walked hand in hand towards Yang Chen’s car.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked over with a group of people.

Because his entourage was very large, the people around looked over.

“Who is this? Such a big entourage.”

“I don’t know, but it looks like he should be the president of some company.”

“I seem to have seen him before. If I remember correctly, he should be Zhou Hongbin, the chairman of Hongle Hi-Tech Group. He is often on TV, I should remember correctly.”

“Then it’s not surprising, the president of a listed company, the entourage must be big.”

……

Yang Chen was putting Lin Yiren’s suitcase into the trunk, when Zhou Hongbin walked over with a smile.

“Miss Lin, what a coincidence. I said we were destined, see, I was right, haha…” Zhou Hongbin said with a big laugh.

The people around showed gossipy smiles, it seems like there is a good show to watch.

The president of a listed company is chatting up someone else’s girlfriend in front of her boyfriend, which is a bit inappropriate.
