How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 51

Yang Chen finished his shower and lay on the sofa, scrolling through Douyin [a popular Chinese video-sharing social networking service] to relax.

Suddenly, he came across a video of a woman causing a scene at a high-speed train station.

Yang Chen immediately recognized her as the same female passenger who had demanded a police car and insisted the train station notify the driver to wait for her for 10 minutes that afternoon.

“I already called you and asked you to notify the driver to wait for me for ten minutes, ten minutes! Couldn’t you wait? I bought a ticket, you took my money, so you must provide me with service. I wasn’t there, why did he leave…”

The woman hysterically yelled at the high-speed rail staff and the police.

Yang Chen shook his head helplessly and said, “What a piece of work! Any man who ends up with a wife like that is headed straight for jail.”

According to the video caption, this woman had already been taken away by the police.

At this moment, the BEEP platform [presumably a ride-hailing app] notified him that someone had left a negative review.

Yang Chen clicked on it and saw that it was the female passenger from the video.

“Garbage BEEP driver, suggesting my wife call the high-speed rail station to ask them to wait for her for ten minutes, which resulted in my wife being detained by the police station. Damn, I will definitely call and complain about you later.”

*Damn*, how could this be blamed on a ride-hailing driver like me?

“I almost felt sorry for you, ending up with such a nutcase for a wife. But I was wrong. Birds of a feather flock together!” Yang Chen couldn’t help but complain.

At this moment, the system issued a reminder.

“Detected that the host has received an additional negative review, triggering a critical reward. Congratulations to the host for obtaining all the evidence of Yaowu Group’s illegal and criminal activities. The evidence is already on the living room table. The host can go and check it out.”

“The system is awesome!”

With the evidence of Yaowu Group’s illegal and criminal activities, there’s no need to rely on Xue Yinong to bring down Yaowu Group.

As the saying goes, once Yaowu Group falls, Zhang Hengzhi will have no protection, and he’ll be finished immediately!

“Dare to smash my car? You should have thought about the consequences for your whole family!” Yang Chen couldn’t help but exclaim.

Yang Chen had only been happy for a few seconds when the BEEP platform sent another message, reminding him that he had received a complaint and needed to prepare materials for an appeal.

Yang Chen clicked to check, and it was still the complaint from the account of the female passenger who had been detained.

At this moment, the system once again issued a reminder.

“Detected that the host has received a complaint, triggering a critical reward. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill [Amazing Old Driver].”

“Ah?”

What kind of skill is this?

It’s not like I can’t drive. What do I need this skill for?

It’s useless!

The system quickly gave an explanation.

“After the host obtains the [Amazing Old Driver] skill, you can master any type of vehicle, ship, or aircraft. As long as it requires driving, you can immediately become proficient. And as the host’s driving time increases, your personal charm will also increase. One day, the host will become a perfect man who is loved by everyone, admired by flowers, and causes cars to have flat tires.”

“Oh, if that’s the case, the title of Old Driver is well-deserved.”

Yang Chen imagined in his mind, in a very showy way, the scene of all women going crazy for him wherever he went. Just imagining it was exciting enough.

“Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Ding-dong…”

Three rings of the doorbell interrupted Yang Chen’s fantasy.

“Wow, who is it? It’s so late, disturbing my sweet dreams! Hmm? Why did I say dreams? This is about to become reality, okay?” Yang Chen couldn’t help but grumble.

He quickly got up and went to the door to see Xue Yinong standing outside the electric iron gate in a long dress.

“Mr. Yang, you’re back! Am I disturbing your rest so late?” Xue Yinong asked.

“Miss Xue, you’re not disturbing me. I haven’t gone to bed yet. Come in and talk. Is there something you need?” Yang Chen said as he opened the electric iron gate.

Xue Yinong walked in with a watermelon and said with a smile, “It’s nothing special. Aunt Lan went to buy watermelon this afternoon, and I asked her to buy an extra one for you. I saw the lights on, so I brought it over. We are neighbors, after all. You’re a man living alone, so your life must be quite simple. If you need anything in the future, just tell Aunt Lan. It’s just a matter of convenience.”

Yang Chen quickly stepped forward to take it and said, “Thank you, Miss Xue. You’re too kind. Please come in and sit down.”

Xue Yinong wanted to see what brand the car was, so she replied, “I’ve always wanted to enjoy the night view by the lake in Villa No. 1. I wonder if it’s a good time to do that?”

“It’s always a good time. What’s inconvenient about that? You can come over to see the night view anytime you want. You can come even when I’m not here. Go sit down, and I’ll cut the watermelon. We can eat and enjoy the night view together,” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Xue Yinong nodded with a smile. Watching Yang Chen go inside to cut the watermelon, she quickly walked closer to see the sports car brand.

“Bugatti? My God, a car that costs nearly 50 million after everything is said and done! *Hai*, YC, Yang Chen, the license plate is also custom-made. There’s definitely something to him,” Xue Yinong thought to herself. [*Hai* is an interjection expressing surprise or admiration.]

After a while, Yang Chen came out with a fruit platter.

In addition to the watermelon that Xue Yinong brought, Yang Chen also took out lychees and other fruits from his refrigerator.

Xue Yinong looked at the abundant fruit platter and said with a smile, “Mr. Yang, you’re too kind.”

“I should be the one saying that. Miss Xue is really too kind, thinking of me when buying watermelon. It makes me feel ashamed. Look at me, only knowing how to enjoy things alone. My awareness is really too low,” Yang Chen replied with a smile.

“Hehe… Then Mr. Yang should visit my house more often when you have time. After a while, we won’t be strangers anymore,” Xue Yinong said with a smile.

The two of them started eating.

After a while, Xue Yinong asked with a smile, “Mr. Yang, your new sports car is really beautiful.”

“Oh, it’s okay. The foreigners are too inefficient. It took them more than half a year to deliver it to me. If Miss Xue likes it, you can take it for a spin,” Yang Chen replied with a smile.

“No! No! My driving skills are not good. This kind of car is too fast. I can’t handle it. Mr. Yang can acquire equity at will and buy so many valuable things. Why are you still satisfied with driving for BEEP? You could do other, more high-end jobs. You could even start your own company. I feel that driving a ride-hailing car is really beneath you,” Xue Yinong asked very directly.

“How should I put it… Driving for BEEP allows me to see all kinds of people, which is a kind of experience for me. I definitely don’t want to work for others. As for starting my own company, I’m not the kind of person who can sit in the office and manage a company. So, for me, the best way to invest is to buy equity in some companies with good prospects and wait for dividends, drive for BEEP every day to pass the time, and clear my head. Perhaps my current state of mind is not suitable for managing a company. I’ll work on that first,” Yang Chen replied truthfully.

These were all Yang Chen’s true thoughts. With his current experience, he definitely couldn’t manage a company well.

After Manager Zhang Jingyan deducted his bonus, Yang Chen would never work for others again.

Plus, with the reward for negative reviews from driving for BEEP, he was even less willing to do other things.

But when Xue Yinong heard this, it sounded like he was gaining experience.

After they had eaten almost all of the fruit platter, Yang Chen took out his phone and handed it to Xue Yinong to take a look.

“Miss Xue, take a look,” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Xue Yinong picked up the phone with a puzzled look and asked, “What is it? Something interesting to look at?”

“Yes, I think it’s very interesting to look at,” Yang Chen replied with a smile.

The smile on Xue Yinong’s face gradually froze, and her expression became more and more serious.

Yang Chen was showing her some of the evidence of Yaowu Group’s illegal and criminal activities that he had just obtained.

“He was actually able to investigate so much evidence of Yaowu Group’s illegal and criminal activities. This is definitely not something an ordinary person can do. Even I can’t investigate so much evidence so quickly! What kind of family is he from? How is he so powerful!” Xue Yinong thought to herself, and she immediately felt even more awe and respect for Yang Chen.
