How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 507

The Thirties: Isn’t It Tailor-Made for Wang Jiayi?_What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?

Hongle Hi-Tech’s main business is mold processing, and Baoli Technology Group is the company’s major shareholder.

A significant portion of the civilian and military equipment exported by Baoli Technology has its molds and parts processed here.

When Zhou Hongbin took over the company from his father 20 years ago, he already had a net worth of 1 billion. He also purchased private jets twice, in 2005 and 2007.

His life is even more exciting than Wang Nianming’s, but he is more low-key, and not many people know about him.

In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed. Zhou Hongbin can be said to have seen countless people, including celebrities, models, internet personalities, and ordinary people. He has experienced luxury cars, mansions, yachts, and airplanes.

Now, at the age of 45, he is also considering cultivating the next generation of his family to take over the business. In the past two years, he has been looking for young and beautiful girls, hoping to use money to tempt them to bear him two sons.

His attitude is very clear: as long as they give birth to two sons, he will definitely not marry them. It’s purely a monetary transaction.

During his inspection in Kuncheng, he happened to meet Lin Yiren, who made him unforgettable at first sight.

Therefore, he launched a monetary offensive to win over Lin Yiren.

He didn’t directly ask Lin Yiren to have children for him. Instead, he used the excuse of hiring her at a high salary to manage his two private jets.

According to his usual practice, he first gets the target close to him, then finds an opportunity to shower them with money and alcohol to win them over. He has never failed before.

Lin Yiren ignored him completely and, with the help of her colleagues at China Eastern Airlines, got rid of Zhou Hongbin’s entanglement.

Zhou Hongbin was still unwilling to give up. He unilaterally agreed with Lin Yiren that if they were destined to meet again, she must seriously consider his request.

Now, Zhou Hongbin feels that the two of them have met again, which is fate, so he immediately came up to her.

Lin Yiren told Yang Chen the whole story in detail, not wanting him to have any misunderstandings.

Yang Chen hugged Lin Yiren with a smile and comforted her, “It’s not your fault.”

Lin Yiren nodded aggrievedly and leaned her head against Yang Chen’s chest without saying a word.

Yang Chen said to Zhou Hongbin, “Chairman Zhou, Lin Yiren is my girlfriend, so don’t even think about it. Find another target.”

Zhou Hongbin: “Your girlfriend? What a joke! You’re just a ride-hailing driver. What makes you think you deserve such a beautiful girl?”

Yang Chen: “Is it wrong to be handsome?”

The onlookers couldn’t help but laugh. This reason was something Zhou Hongbin couldn’t refute.

Zhou Hongbin knew that he couldn’t compare with Yang Chen in terms of inherent conditions, so he wanted to use his personal strengths.

“What’s the use of being handsome? Can you buy a private jet? Can you buy a villa and a luxury car? Can you have social status? Young man, you need strength and background to get ahead, understand?” Zhou Hongbin said with a confident look.

Yang Chen: “Is that so? What kind of background and strength do you have?”

Zhou Hongbin: “Our company is a major supplier to Baoli Technology Group, and now the major shareholder of the company is also Baoli Technology Group, which means we are now part of the regular army. Understand?”

Yang Chen: “Damn! How can I not get around Baoli? I can even run into someone related to them here. Alright, I got it. Don’t bother Lin Yiren anymore, or I’ll slap you.”

After saying that, Yang Chen wanted to get in the car and leave.

Zhou Hongbin’s entourage immediately blocked his car.

The bodyguard even said arrogantly, “Who are you going to slap? You dare to touch him?”

Zhou Hongbin rushed forward aggressively and raised his hand to hit Yang Chen.

At this moment, Yang Chen’s bodyguard rushed over.

The bodyguards of both sides immediately engaged in a fierce fight.

After a few rounds, Zhou Hongbin’s bodyguards were all knocked to the ground.

Yang Chen walked up to Zhou Hongbin, who was looking terrified.

Zhou Hongbin panicked and said, “What do you want to do? Baoli Group is behind me, don’t mess around.”

“Slap!”

Yang Chen slapped Zhou Hongbin hard and said, “You wanted to raise your hand to hit me just now? You’re tired of living!”

Don’t think Yang Chen is just putting on an act. When others say they are tired of living, they may just be saying harsh words, but when Yang Chen says they are tired of living, he really has the ability to make them not live.

Zhou Hongbin: “I…I just raised it, I didn’t really hit you.”

“Slap!”

Yang Chen slapped Zhou Hongbin again and scolded, “You really wanted to hit me?”

Zhou Hongbin: “You’re finished! I’m calling someone right now, if you have the guts, don’t leave!”

“Slap!”

Another slap.

The surrounding onlookers were stunned. This guy is brave, daring to slap Zhou Hongbin?

“I don’t have time to waste here with you. How about this, you call Xu Jun or Zhang Yulong and tell them that Yang Chen hit you, and ask them to come and talk to me. You’re just a nobody showing off in front of me!” Yang Chen scolded mercilessly, then waved his hand to signal the bodyguard to clear Zhou Hongbin’s bodyguard aside.

Zhou Hongbin looked terrified and stammered, “You…you are Yang Chen? The boss of Starlight Investment and Starlight Technology, Yang Chen?”

Yang Chen ignored him, got in the car and left.

The onlookers rushed to take pictures of Yang Chen’s face.

“Damn, the guy who rubbed Buffett on the ground is so young and handsome? I thought he was an experienced old man.”

“Is there a mistake? So young and he can research quantum chips and quantum entanglement?”

“Awesome! I said, how dare a ride-hailing driver slap Zhou Hongbin? It turns out he is the real boss. Zhou Hongbin doesn’t even have the qualifications to carry his shoes.”

“Damn, Zhou Hongbin is purely asking for trouble, looking for abuse. Flirting with his girlfriend in front of Yang Chen, isn’t that courting death? He deserves to be slapped.”

…

The onlookers quickly edited their posts, wanting to send Yang Chen’s photos to their Moments [social media feed] or public social platforms.

However, the next second, everyone was stunned.

What does “The photo is in violation of regulations and cannot be uploaded” mean?

Now they finally understand why no one knows what Yang Chen looks like. It turns out that his photos and videos are blocked on the entire network.

Yang Chen’s can’t be sent, but Zhou Hongbin’s can be sent.

So, they quickly sent Zhou Hongbin’s photos and videos to the Internet.

“Hongle Hi-Tech’s chairman harassed the girlfriend of Starlight Investment and Starlight Technology boss Yang Chen in front of him, and was slapped several times. Yang Chen is really handsome. I wanted to upload his photos and videos for everyone to see, but his photos and videos are blocked on the entire network. This is why everyone only hears his name but doesn’t see him. By the way, let me tell you a truth, the awakened ride-hailing driver that everyone praises is Yang Chen. He is actually driving a ride-hailing car.”

“The unattainable Hongle Hi-Tech chairman Zhou Hongbin is nothing in front of Yang Chen. He was slapped several times and didn’t dare to fight back. The reason was that Zhou Hongbin saw that Yang Chen’s girlfriend was good-looking and harassed her. Yang Chen really didn’t give him and Baoli any face.”

“Today I saw what a real boss is. Zhou Hongbin is interviewed every day, showing off his private jet, but he was slapped several times by Yang Chen and didn’t dare to move. There is always someone better. This is what rich people should do in our hearts, using their own actions to correct unhealthy trends.”

“Wow, Hongle Hi-Tech chairman Zhou Hongbin was slapped by Yang Chen, and Yang Chen also said that he should find Xu Jun and Zhang Yulong, the chairmen of Baoli Group and Baoli Technology Group, to come and talk to him. Zhou Hongbin is not qualified to talk to him. The boss is the boss, these words are really tough.”

…

Zhou Hongbin quickly got in the car and left, and called Zhang Yulong, the chairman of Baoli Technology Group, to report the situation, requesting him to quickly contact various platforms to delete the relevant photos, videos, posts, etc.

Zhang Yulong got angry when he heard the name Yang Chen. Zhou Hongbin deliberately concealed and quibbled about the fact that he took the initiative to flirt with Lin Yiren. Zhang Yulong instinctively felt that Yang Chen was deliberately targeting Baoli Technology Group again.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yulong called Xu Jun to gossip.

Xu Jun hadn’t smiled for a while. After listening to Zhang Yulong’s report, his mood was even worse. He immediately cursed, “Damn, this kid really doesn’t take us seriously. Even a dog related to us has to be slapped by him when it passes by him.”

Zhang Yulong: “Who says not? Let’s just say that his intention to target our Baoli Group has been too obvious recently. Anyone or company that has something to do with us will be dealt with by him as long as they meet him. Our Baoli has been through thick and thin for more than 30 years. When have we ever been subjected to this kind of anger? Chairman Xu, can’t we really do anything about him? Is our trillion-dollar asset just for show?”

Xu Jun: “Damn, can’t deal with him? You think too highly of him. He’s just temporarily favored because of the quantum chip. When this trend passes, what is he? Endure it for now and proceed according to the original plan. First, get the order from the United States settled. I have a trump card to use above.”

Zhang Yulong: “Okay, I’ll tell them to speed up and sign the contract as soon as possible.”

At this time, Hongle Hi-Tech’s stock was sealed at the daily limit [maximum price increase allowed in a day] with 5.25 million sell orders, and the stock review area was full of wailing.

“Damn, why does Zhou Hongbin have to mess with his young models? Why did he have to provoke Yang Chen? Who does he think he is? He dares to harass Mr. Yang’s woman!”

“Everyone, don’t sell. It’s already sealed at the daily limit. What’s the point of selling? Can you sell it?”

“A-shares [Chinese stocks] are really not for people to play. I’m asking you, who would have thought that the stock you hold could be sealed at the daily limit for this reason? More than 5 million sell orders, more than 5 million! It will take at least five limit-down days [maximum price decrease allowed in a day] before it can be opened. Damn! Who can you reason with in this situation? Can we sue Zhou Hongbin for compensation for our losses?”

“Currently, there is no movement from Starlight Investment. It is just Hongle Hi-Tech shareholders stepping on each other that has caused the current situation. When the limit-down opens, Starlight Investment will short the stock again. I don’t know how many more limit-downs there will be. It’s terrible to think about it.”

“Damn! I was tricked in by the company’s total order value of 350 million. Now I’ve lost so much that my own mother doesn’t recognize me. Isn’t the company’s major shareholder Baoli Technology Group? Quickly find Baoli Technology Group to come forward and negotiate a reconciliation with Yang Chen. Can’t you do such a simple thing? What are you all doing?”

…

The shareholders don’t know what the relationship between Baoli and Yang Chen is like. If the two sides weren’t unable to do anything to each other, they would have publicly started a war long ago. How could it still be so calm?

At this time, in the detention center.

Wang Ziyu’s parents came to see her with a lawyer.

“Wuwu…Dad, Mom, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. You must go and discuss it with the other party, you must reconcile. I don’t want to go to jail, otherwise my life will be ruined,” Wang Ziyu sobbed.

Wang’s father sighed and said, “The person you wronged is Yang Chen, the boss of Starlight Investment and Starlight Technology. It has been exposed on the Internet. Lawyer Liu has already talked to Zhang Xiang. There is no possibility of reconciliation. It must go to court for trial. You have no chance.”

Wang’s mother: “Wuwu…My poor daughter, how did you get to this point? Mom often told you to change your thinking and personality, and not to be misled by those messy comments on the Internet, but you just wouldn’t listen. Getting to this point today, you can’t blame others. It’s just the retribution accumulated from the mistakes you made before.”

Wang Ziyu was already dumbfounded, looking blankly at the propaganda slogan “Repent and Start Anew” on the wall.

Lawyer Liu also sighed and said, “I’m sorry, I really can’t help you. There are videos and recordings as evidence. Your rumors and false accusations are conclusive, and the relevant number of views is approaching 200 million, and the number of reposts, likes, and comments is approaching 10 million. This impact is too great. With Zhang Xiang’s ability, he will definitely be able to make you a crime of defamation, and then you will be sentenced to imprisonment. The only thing I can do now is to find a way to reduce your sentence and try to go through the motions, so you don’t really have to go to prison.” Wang Ziyu: “But if I have a criminal record, my life will be ruined. I’m already old, and if I have a criminal record, who will want me? Lawyer Liu, please, you must help me to be innocent. I can’t have a criminal record. Please…”

Lawyer Liu shook his head helplessly and said, “I can only say it’s too difficult, the possibility is not high. But I will definitely do my best to help you with a not-guilty plea, you don’t have to doubt this.”

…

In the evening, Yang Chen was eating at Lin Yiren’s house when Professor Yang called him.

Yang Chen came to the balcony to answer the phone and asked with a smile, “Professor Yang, good evening. What’s the matter?”

Professor Yang: “Haha…The Nobel Prize Committee just called me and said that they officially awarded this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics to the three of us. Now the Nobel Prize official website has issued an announcement, and our media will soon receive the news. I’m calling you to celebrate with you in advance.”

Yang Chen: “Haha…Congratulations, congratulations. Congratulations to Professor Yang for becoming the fifth scientist to win two Nobel Prizes. Your name is destined to be immortal.”

Professor Yang: “Haha…I have to thank you for this. Without you, I wouldn’t be able to get it. When do you have time, I’ll treat you to dinner. If you don’t mind, come to my house.”

Yang Chen: “I’m in Hai City now, I’ll go back later.”

Professor Yang: “Okay! Then I’ll wait for you to come back. I’ll have a banquet at home and invite you and Professor Huang to come and have a meal together. You’re busy, I won’t disturb you.”

Yang Chen smiled and said um, and then hung up the phone.

Seeing Yang Chen coming back with a smile, Lin Yiren quickly asked, “What good thing happened?”

Yang Chen: “Professor Yang called and said that the Nobel Prize has been awarded. This year’s Physics Prize is officially awarded to me, Professor Yang, and Professor Huang.”

Lin Yiren: “That’s great! Hee hee…”

Lin Yiren’s parents also clapped their hands happily and raised their glasses to celebrate Yang Chen winning the Nobel Prize.

Before the meal was finished, the media in Dragon Country began to report it extensively.

People’s Daily: Good news! Good news! Good news! This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics is officially awarded to Professor Yang, Yang Chen, and Professor Huang. This is a pure Dragon Country scientist who has won the Nobel Prize in Physics. Congratulations!

Xinhua News Agency: The Nobel Prize in Physics that we have been looking forward to has finally announced the results. Unsurprisingly, it was awarded to Professor Yang, Yang Chen, and Professor Huang Guangxi. Thank you to the three scientific giants for their contributions in the field of quantum physics. The people of the whole country will send you sincere blessings.

Dragon Country Science and Technology News: Comrades, compatriots, the editor is reporting good news to you with excitement! This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics has been announced. As we expected, Professor Yang, Yang Chen, and Professor Huang Guangxi successfully won the prize for quantum entanglement. This is a small step for them in their scientific research, but a big step for the development of science in Dragon Country.

Soon, related topics such as “Yang Chen wins the Nobel Prize in Physics”, “Quantum Entanglement”, and “Detailed Information on Yang Chen” rushed to the top of the hot search list.

The excited netizens just ate the melon [gossip] of Yang Chen slapping Zhou Hongbin, and now they are congratulating him on winning the Nobel Prize in Physics.

“Let’s just say, is this Yang Chen a normal person? He has won the Nobel Prize in Physics?”

“He can earn money to the point of rubbing Buffett on the ground, and he can also research quantum chips and quantum entanglement. How many things does he know?”

“Before, I thought Yang Chen was a bit bullying when he slapped Zhou Hongbin in public, but now I want to say that being slapped by Yang Chen is Zhou Hongbin’s honor in this life.”

“Is it the same Yang Chen? How can a person be so perfect? My God, I can’t imagine how there can be such a perfect person in the world.”

“Okay, Zhou Hongbin was beaten for nothing. With this Nobel Prize in Physics, who would dare to touch Yang Chen in the entire Dragon Country? The country will never let him go!”

…

At this time, Zhang Yulong, who had just seen the news, called Xu Jun with trembling hands.

Zhang Yulong: “Chairman Xu, have you…have you seen the news?”

Xu Jun replied weakly: “Alas…I saw it…”

Zhang Yulong: “Why did he win the Nobel Prize again? And it’s the Physics Prize, the gold content and significance of which is much more important than any Literature Prize. I’m afraid the 30 million US dollar order can’t move him.”

Xu Jun:

“Alas…Who says not?”

Zhang Yulong: “Recently, the Saudi country has been contacting us to purchase some equipment. If we can win their order and persuade them to purchase the 052D destroyer, we will have the capital to compete with Yang Chen. This is not just a matter of money, but also more important international political significance.”

Xu Jun: “That makes sense. Okay, you cancel all vacations recently and devote all your energy to persuading Saudi country to purchase 052D and other equipment. As long as you get this project done, the group will give you double the bonus at the end of the year.”

The year-end bonus for this level of big shot is in the millions, so doubling it is a lot of money.

Zhang Yulong was immediately excited and replied quickly: “Thank you for your care, Chairman Xu. I will contact Saudi country immediately to facilitate the transaction.”

Xu Jun: “Okay, I’ll wait for your good news.”

Early the next morning, Yang Chen took Lin Yiren to the headquarters of Starlight Entertainment.

Yang Zhen had received several scripts for Lin Yiren and needed to discuss with her in person whether she could accept them.

Yang Chen hadn’t come to Starlight Entertainment for a while to inspect, so he came over to take a look.

Yang Zhen gave the scripts to Lin Yiren to read. There were three scripts in total, and the roles were all flight attendants.

The movie scripts were “Crisis Route” and “Emergency Landing”, and the TV series script was “Triumph in the Skies”.

Lin Yiren read the scripts carefully, and Yang Zhen reported on the company’s recent operations to Yang Chen.

While they were talking, the secretary came in to report to Yang Zhen: “President Yang, there is a Ms. Zhang outside looking for you, saying that she has an appointment with you.”

Yang Zhen: “Zhang Yunji, right?”

Secretary: “Yes, that’s the name.”

Yang Zhen: “Take her to the small conference room, I’ll go see her right away.”

The secretary nodded and turned to leave.

Yang Zhen said a few words to Yang Chen and hurried to the conference room to meet the guest.

About ten minutes later, Yang Zhen came back with a new script in her hand.

Yang Zhen handed the script to Yang Chen and said with a smile: “It’s a professional screenwriter who came to promote her new work. Listening to her introduction, I feel that this script has some potential. Mr. Yang, would you like to take a look?”

Yang Chen nodded and opened it to take a look.

This script is called “Nothing But Thirty”, which tells the story of three heroines facing problems in their work, life, and social interactions at the age of thirty.

Yang Chen looked at the introduction of the three heroines and was immediately shocked by the role of Wang Manni. To some extent, the role of Wang Manni is very similar to Wang Jiayi’s previous experience.

An older single woman who wants to settle down in a big city, but her ability is limited. Although she is unwilling, she has to pin her hopes on men to fulfill her dreams. Even Wang Manni’s behavior of spending 7,000 on rent out of a salary of 10,000 is the same as Wang Jiayi’s.

Just for this role, even if the other two heroines are written terribly, Yang Chen will make this show.

“This script is good, how did you reply to her?” Yang Chen asked.

Yang Zhen: “I said I’ll take a look first, and if we prove that there is a need to shoot, we will contact her.”

Yang Chen: “Call her and tell her that we want this script.”

Yang Zhen: “Ah? Oh, okay. I’ll call her right away.”

Zhang Yunji had just walked out of the elevator when Yang Zhen’s call came in.

Zhang Yunji:

“President Yang, is there anything unclear?”

Yang Zhen: “Congratulations, your script has been liked by our President Yang. President Yang said we want this script. If you haven’t gone far, come back and talk to President Yang.”

Zhang Yunji: “Okay, okay, I’ll go back right away.”

Zhang Yunji jumped up excitedly. After ten years of hard work, she finally had a harvest.

Soon, Yang Chen met Zhang Yunji in the small conference room.

After some greetings, Yang Chen asked Zhang Yunji some questions, such as how she wanted to cooperate, whether it was a lump-sum buyout or equity participation and profit sharing, etc.

Zhang Yunji: “To be honest, I have been working on this script for ten years. During this period, there was almost no decent source of income. I am really afraid of being poor. I just want money now, the more the better.”

Yang Chen: “Haha…I understand. Okay, we will give you 2 million to buy the full copyright of the script, and you will be credited as the screenwriter of this drama, and you will cooperate with our shooting needs for adaptation in the later stage. Is that okay?”

Zhang Yunji: “Okay! I’ll listen to President Yang! Haha…”

Yang Chen: “Okay, that’s settled then. Sister Yang, you will follow up later.”

Yang Zhen: “Okay, President Yang, leave it to me.”

After another two hours, Lin Yiren finished reading all three scripts.

After reading them, she felt that all three scripts were good, and she really didn’t know which one to choose and which one to reject.

Yang Chen: “That’s easy, adults, we want all three. While there are many work opportunities now, you should work hard, maybe you can really become popular. Even if you are only popular for three or five years, the money you earn will be enough for your family to spend a lifetime.”

Lin Yiren: “I’m just afraid I won’t be able to handle it. I still have to be on duty at China Eastern Airlines. If these three scripts are filmed together, I may not be able to handle it.”

Yang Chen: “It’s okay, I’ll coordinate the time for you to ensure that you can do all the work easily. You just need to do a good job of preparation, and you don’t need to worry about other things.”

Lin Yiren: “Hee hee…Okay then, I’ll listen to you.”

Yang Zhen: “Then I will take all three scripts and coordinate the time with the three crews, and try to arrange a reasonable schedule for Yiren.”

Yang Chen: “Okay. Then I’ll leave it to Sister Yang. We’re leaving first, you’re busy.”

Lin Yiren has been busy with the promotion of “The Dragon Country Captain” recently, and her essential work has been put on hold a lot.

Lin Yiren went directly to China Eastern Airlines, while Yang Chen took the script of “Nothing But Thirty” to find Wang Jiayi.
