How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 52

Xu Xiaowan Hires a Car—Am I, a Ride-Hailing Driver, Not Allowed to Have Some Money?

After reviewing the evidence Yang Chen provided, Xue Yinong asked with a smile, “Mr. Yang is truly remarkable, uncovering so much about them in such a short time. How did you manage it? Aren’t you supposed to be driving? Where did you find the time to investigate Yaowu Group’s affairs?”

Clearly, Xue Yinong was still probing Yang Chen’s identity.

Yang Chen certainly couldn’t say it was a system reward, so he replied, “I have my ways. I must beg your pardon for not being able to explain it in detail. I hope Miss Xue doesn’t mind.”

Xue Yinong felt that Yang Chen’s words were very clear, implying that he had a powerful family behind him.

He didn’t want to reveal his identity for the time being, which is why he didn’t want to disclose it.

Xue Yinong quickly replied with a smile, “I understand. Mr. Yang lives in a luxury home, drives a luxury car, yet still drives for a ride-hailing service. Clearly, you are undergoing family training.”

“Haha…” Yang Chen laughed heartily.

It was fine if Xue Yinong thought that way, saving him the trouble of finding an excuse to explain the source of the evidence.

Seeing that Yang Chen didn’t deny it, Xue Yinong became even more convinced of his identity as a mysterious young master from a powerful family.

“So, what are Mr. Yang’s intentions?” Xue Yinong asked.

“If it’s convenient for Miss Xue, I can copy the evidence for you, which would also make it easier for you to take down Yaowu Group for me. If it’s not convenient for Miss Xue, then I’ll do it myself. Now that I have the evidence in hand, I won’t give Yaowu Group any chance to survive,” Yang Chen said very bluntly.

It was clear that Yang Chen was determined to eliminate Yaowu Group.

In that case, why not do him a favor?

Xue Yinong quickly said, “Since I promised Mr. Yang to help you deal with Yaowu Group, I will definitely keep my word. Actually, I’ve already asked people to investigate Yaowu Group’s dirt, but not as quickly as Mr. Yang. Since Mr. Yang has the evidence, please copy it for me. I’ll expose it immediately, leaving Yaowu Group with no hope of recovery.”

“To be precise, I want Zhang Yaowu and Zhang Hengzhi, this father and son duo, to become beggars. I don’t really care whether Yaowu Group falls or not,” Yang Chen said.

If that was the case, it would be even easier for Xue Yinong to handle.

Protecting Yaowu Group while crippling Zhang Yaowu and Zhang Hengzhi, this father and son duo, was too easy.

“Understood! Copy the evidence for me, and I’ll take care of it as soon as possible,” Xue Yinong said with a smile.

Yang Chen nodded, inviting Xue Yinong to eat fruit.

The two chatted until late at night before Xue Yinong reluctantly took the backup evidence and went home.

At this time, Xue Wanhong was already asleep in his recliner.

The sound of Li Lanxin opening the door woke him up.

Soon, Xue Yinong hurried in.

“Dad, it’s a good thing I went. Take a look,” Xue Yinong said, handing the evidence to Xue Wanhong.

When Xue Wanhong saw the evidence, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Tax evasion and issuing fake VAT invoices were minor issues, but the key was that Yaowu Group inflated profits and bribed accountants to falsify accounts to deceive the Securities Regulatory Commission [a government agency overseeing financial markets], which was serious.

Even more serious was that Yaowu Group had conflicts with demolition households, resulting in deaths.

Once these things were exposed, Yaowu Group’s listing would be impossible, and some key department heads would have to go to jail, inevitably leading to the collapse of the entire company.

“Where did you get these things?” Xue Wanhong asked quickly.

“Yang Chen gave them to me. He just asked me for help the day before yesterday, and today he got all the evidence of Yaowu Group’s illegal and criminal activities. But he’s driving during the day, and he definitely couldn’t have found these things on his own. So, I’m sure there must be a very powerful family behind him. Oh, right, I just saw that his newly bought sports car is a Bugatti Veyron, and the license plate is customized with his name. Dad, I don’t think there’s any need to doubt his identity. It’s a good thing I got this evidence; otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to get away unscathed if he had suddenly announced it. However, he also told me that as long as Zhang Yaowu and Zhang Hengzhi, this father and son duo, become beggars, it doesn’t matter whether Yaowu Group falls or not. I think he probably knows that we hold a percentage of Yaowu Group’s shares, and he’s deliberately giving me face,” Xue Yinong said.

After hearing what his daughter said, Xue Wanhong no longer doubted Yang Chen’s identity.

Although he didn’t know where he came from, he could be sure that he had a powerful family behind him.

In fact, if they regarded the system as a powerful family, their thinking wasn’t wrong, was it?

Xue Wanhong thought for a moment and said, “He wants to give us face, but we don’t want it. I’ll find someone to take over our shares in Yaowu Group tomorrow, and then take action against Yaowu Group. I don’t want to have any leverage in other people’s hands. Since he wants to keep a low profile, don’t try to get too close to him in the future. Keep a proper distance.”

Xue Yinong nodded and said, “I understand.”

…

Early in the morning, Yang Chen received a call from his university classmate, Xu Xiaowan.

Xu Xiaowan was dissatisfied with her current job and had her cousin, Fang Huihui, find her a job at an investment firm.

She had an interview in the afternoon and wanted to buy a nicer business suit.

So, she wanted to hire Yang Chen’s car to take her to buy clothes.

Why not do business if there’s business to be done?

As old classmates, Yang Chen asked her for 500 yuan [approximately $70 USD], and she could use the car all day today.

Xu Xiaowan agreed to the price without hesitation.

Yang Chen took a shower, changed his clothes, and drove to pick up Xu Xiaowan.

Xu Xiaowan was renting an apartment with her cousin.

Yang Chen arrived at the address and saw Xu Xiaowan and a short-haired beauty in a suit standing together waiting.

Yang Chen honked the horn and waved at them.

When Xu Xiaowan saw that it was Yang Chen, she quickly waved back and pulled her cousin into the back seat.

“Yang Chen, didn’t you drive a Buick? Why did you change cars?” Xu Xiaowan asked with a smile.

“Don’t mention it; the Buick broke down, so I had to change cars. Where are we going now?” Yang Chen replied.

“To Misia; do you know where that is?” Xu Xiaowan replied.

“I don’t know. Let me navigate,” Yang Chen replied.

Xu Xiaowan leaned forward to look at the navigation, her head almost touching Yang Chen’s head.

Fang Huihui, the cousin next to her, narrowed her eyes, thinking that the relationship between her cousin and this driver was more than just classmates.

With the location set, Yang Chen followed the navigation.

Xu Xiaowan said, “Oh, right, let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Fang Huihui.”

Yang Chen quickly turned his head and smiled at Fang Huihui, then turned back to drive, saying, “Hello, Miss Fang, nice to meet you.”

Fang Huihui’s style was more neutral, so her speech gave people a very cocky feeling.

“Hmm. How nice to meet you?” Fang Huihui asked.

Damn, if you chat like this, I can’t answer.

Xu Xiaowan quickly winked at her cousin, hinting that she shouldn’t talk like that.

But Fang Huihui ignored her cousin’s hint and continued to ask, “What’s your relationship with my cousin? You just want to hook up with her, right?”

The car suddenly slowed down, scaring all three of them.

“Oh, cousin, don’t talk nonsense. He’s driving; don’t bother him, it’s dangerous,” Xu Xiaowan said, blushing.

“You don’t talk. I’m asking him,” Fang Huihui said.

Yang Chen replied with a smile, “Miss Fang, you’ve misunderstood. Xu Xiaowan and I are just university classmates; there’s no other relationship. If I really have any thoughts about her, it must be pursuing, not hooking up as you said.”

Xu Xiaowan lowered her head, pursed her lips, and smiled shyly.

Fang Huihui’s eyes were sharp, and she could tell at a glance that Yang Chen had no feelings for Xu Xiaowan, but Xu Xiaowan definitely liked Yang Chen.

Since her cousin had taken a fancy to him, as her cousin, shouldn’t she help and create some opportunities for them?
