How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 557

You Can’t Cover the Sky With One Hand – What’s Wrong With a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (1)

Wang Zhaohong was so frightened by his father’s words that he didn’t dare to speak, staring at Yang Chen in shock.

Wang Hailin: “Hello? Are you listening?”

Wang Zhaohong: “Lis… listening. Dad, are you sure the news is accurate?”

Wang Hailin: “Nonsense, the official announcement has already been issued. Can it be fake? Yang Zhen, the CEO of Starlight Entertainment, has already sent a message to industry colleagues, clearly stating that anyone who dares to help them is an enemy of Boss Yang. I’ve received the message, how can it be wrong?”

Wang Zhaohong didn’t dare to admit that he had offended Yang Chen, so he quickly shifted the blame to Lin Wanqiu.

“It was Lin Wanqiu who offended Boss Yang. We were at the ball hosted by Miss Lu. Lin Wanqiu, I don’t know what got into her, insisted that Boss Yang touched her hand and said some nasty things. Boss Yang made a phone call, but I didn’t expect the reaction to be so fast,” Wang Zhaohong replied.

Wang Hailin: “Ah? It was Lin Wanqiu who caused the trouble! Damn it, she’s really asking for it! It’s fine if she ruins herself, but she’s also implicated all the artists in our company. Tell Lin Wanqiu for me, whether she kowtows [a deep bow showing respect] or sleeps with him, she must beg for Boss Yang’s forgiveness. Otherwise, I’ll throw her into the Qiantang River!”

Wang Zhaohong was extremely scared because he was worried that if Lin Wanqiu couldn’t appease Yang Chen, he would have to apologize himself.

Hanging up the phone, Wang Zhaohong didn’t know how to proceed.

At this moment, Ye Zilong’s father, Ye Qingyun, called him.

The corner of Ye Zilong’s mouth revealed a smug smile, and he said, “My dad is calling back, brother, your ride-hailing driver account is about to be canceled.”

Yang Chen: “Is that so? Maybe you should listen to what your dad has to say before celebrating.”

Ye Zilong: “You don’t believe me, do you? I’ll put it on speakerphone now so everyone can hear, so you don’t think I’m bluffing.”

Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh at Ye Zilong’s pretentious expression.

Ye Zilong answered the phone and put it on speakerphone, saying, “Hello, Dad, what’s the situation?”

Ye Qingyun replied anxiously, “Son, you need to apologize to Boss Yang immediately. Beg for his forgiveness.”

Everyone perked up their ears.

Ye Zilong couldn’t keep up the act anymore and asked in a panic, “Dad, what do you mean by this?”

Ye Qingyun: “Oh dear, the license plate number you mentioned belongs to Yang Chen, the boss of the Starlight Group. You want the Bilibili platform [Chinese video sharing website] to cancel his account? Do you think that’s possible? He’s still the second-largest shareholder of Bilibili Group. You quickly apologize to Boss Yang, you must beg for his forgiveness.”

Everyone looked at Yang Chen in shock. He really is the legendary Boss Yang.

Ye Zilong: “Dad, could there be a mistake? How could Boss Yang be in Hangzhou?”

Ye Qingyun: “How would I know? The license plate number you mentioned belongs to Boss Yang. Stop talking nonsense, quickly apologize to Boss Yang. If you cause any more trouble, I’ll break your legs.”

After speaking, Ye Qingyun hung up the phone.

Ye Zilong was dumbfounded, his soul seemed to have left his body, a completely lost look, completely different from when he was high-spirited and showing off just now.

Lu Xiaoyi looked at Yang Chen with admiration, and a happy smile involuntarily appeared on the corner of her mouth.

“As expected, my intuition is spot on. The man who catches my eye at a glance is destined to be no ordinary person,” Lu Xiaoyi thought to herself.

The guests were buzzing with conversation.

“Wow, is he really Yang Chen, the boss of the Starlight Group? Or is it just the same name?”

“No wonder he carries himself with such confidence, so he is Boss Yang.”

“Oh no, I think I said something bad about Boss Yang just now, will he hold it against me?”

“Regardless of whether he does or not, we should quickly apologize when we get the chance later.”

…

Lin Wanqiu was extremely scared and quickly looked at Wang Zhaohong.

“Vice President Wang, what should we do now? How could he be Boss Yang?” Lin Wanqiu said in a low voice.

Wang Zhaohong, a ruthless person, slapped Lin Wanqiu and cursed, “You shameless thing, Boss Yang is such a great figure, how dare you slander him. Don’t you hurry up and apologize to Boss Yang? You’re finished if you can’t get his forgiveness! The Performing Arts Association and the State Administration of Radio and Television have already issued announcements to ban you and all the artists in our company. You’ve killed us! My dad just told me that if you can’t get Boss Yang’s forgiveness, he’ll throw you into the Qiantang River to feed the fish!”

Lin Wanqiu was almost paralyzed with fear; the speed of the reaction exceeded her wildest imagination.

The guests were also shocked and whispered to each other.

“This is too exaggerated, right? A phone call and the Performing Arts Association and the State Administration of Radio and Television responded immediately.”

“Boss Yang is indeed Boss Yang, this social standing is no joke. No other entrepreneur has this kind of influence; they can respond so quickly at night.”

“If the Performing Arts Association and the State Administration of Radio and Television have issued announcements, it’s basically over for Lin Wanqiu’s career. It’s just a pity for the artists in her company, caught in the crossfire.”

“So, never offend big figures like Boss Yang. The consequences of a phone call from him are too much for us to bear.”

…

Wang Zhaohong quickly gave Lin Wanqiu a look, and she understood, hurrying forward to apologize to Yang Chen and beg for mercy.

“Boss Yang, I’m sorry, I was wrong, please be generous and don’t hold it against me. I’m just a nobody, no, no, I’m not even a nobody. Please don’t be angry with me. Please.”

Yang Chen: “Everyone is watching. I gave you a chance just now, but you were aggressive and forced me into a corner. I either don’t care, but once I do, there’s no going back. I’ve already made my decision; how can I retract it?”

Wang Zhaohong: “Lin Wanqiu, don’t you hurry up and kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistake?”

Lin Wanqiu doesn’t see herself as a noble and popular star now; she just wants to survive.

Lin Wanqiu knelt in front of Yang Chen in a panic and cried, “Boss Yang, I was really wrong, please give me a chance. I was wrong just now. I only said that because Vice President Wang had some issues with you, and I wanted to deliberately create a misunderstanding to cause trouble for you. I personally have no malice towards you.”

Wang Zhaohong stepped forward and kicked Lin Wanqiu, saying, “Watch what you say! What do you mean I have some issues with Boss Yang? I’m on good terms with Boss Yang; how could there be any issues?”

Lin Wanqiu is in a difficult situation, and she doesn’t dare to offend the boss’s son, so she can only quickly change her words and say, “I misunderstood; I was being too clever and caused a disaster. Miao Miao, for the sake of our friendship from high school, please help me beg Boss Yang, I beg you. I will immediately write a letter of commitment to be the spokesperson for your company for the rest of my life. Boss Yang, Miao Miao, okay? I’ll write it right away.”

Zhao Miao Miao: “Don’t ask me; I can’t tell my dad what to do. Besides, Dad gave you a chance just now, but you were arrogant and thought you were so important and didn’t appreciate it. What’s the use of regretting it now?”

Oh!

Dad?

Boss Yang’s goddaughter?

Yuan Siyao quickly whispered to Zhao Miao Miao, “Miao Miao, don’t call him that in public. Master’s identity is more valuable; don’t cause unnecessary attention for him.”

Zhao Miao Miao nodded and said, “Okay, Mommy, I understand.”

Ye Zilong gathered his courage and quickly stepped forward and bowed to Yang Chen, saying, “Boss Yang, I’m sorry, I didn’t know your identity. I offended you a lot; please forgive me. I’m just a country bumpkin who hasn’t seen the world; please be generous and don’t hold it against me.”

Yang Chen: “You were so arrogant just now, and now you want to make it all go away with a few words?”

Ye Zilong: “Then what does Boss Yang want? Please tell me.”

Yang Chen: “Today’s event is for Miss Lu, let Miss Lu decide.”

Lu Xiaoyi smiled and shook hands with Yang Chen, saying, “Hello, President Yang, I’ve admired your name for a long time, and I finally met you today. It’s truly my greatest honor that you could attend this ball.”

Yang Chen: “I just wanted to come over to see what was happening, watch you dance, eat some fruit, and have some fun before leaving. I never thought that even though I was trying to keep a low profile, they still forced me to reveal my identity.”

Lu Xiaoyi: “I’m also at fault. As the organizer, I haven’t ensured that the guests get along harmoniously, and I have a responsibility. Young Master Ye deliberately made things difficult for Boss Yang because of me. I am the culprit. In this way, I will dance a dance for Boss Yang alone, hoping that Boss Yang can be more tolerant and forget the previous unpleasantness. Okay?”

Yang Chen picked up a piece of watermelon and took a bite, and said after a few seconds of silence, “I want to see Miss Lu’s dance, and Ye Zilong’s punishment must also be there.”

Although Yang Chen said this with a smile, it revealed a kind of authority that made people dare not resist.

The guests were still laughing and joking before, and everyone wanted to say a few words to Yang Chen.

Now everyone is as obedient as children seeing a teacher, not daring to make a sound.

Lu Xiaoyi was stunned for a few seconds, and then quickly smiled and replied, “I understand what Boss Yang means. I think Young Master Ye was rude first and should slap himself to express his apology.”

Yang Chen: “Does Miss Lu think this is appropriate? Young Master Ye is the son of the chairman of Porsche; wouldn’t it be too disrespectful to Porsche?”

Lu Xiaoyi: “This is already a special favor to him; he should be grateful.”

Yang Chen: “Hehehe… Since Miss Lu has said so, I won’t say anything. You are the organizer of tonight’s ball; of course, I can’t steal the show. I’ll defer to you.”

Lu Xiaoyi looked at Ye Zilong and said with a serious face, “Young Master Ye, please express your sincerity.”

Ye Zilong definitely doesn’t want to; it would be too embarrassing to slap himself in front of so many people. Would he ever want to show his face in public again?

“President Yang, why do you have to be so aggressive? I am willing to apologize to you, but you can’t humiliate me in this way,” Ye Zilong argued.

Yang Chen: “Oh, this is humiliating you? Then when you were aggressive towards me just now, didn’t you think you were humiliating me? Have I already taken the initiative to avoid you and not engage with you? But what did you do? You didn’t give me basic respect as a human being at all, and you still kept saying humiliating things to provoke me. Everyone can testify; I didn’t wrong you, right?”

The guests finally waited for the opportunity to show their favor to Yang Chen, especially those who had said bad things about Yang Chen, and now they all wanted to make amends.

“Boss Yang is right; I can testify that it is as Boss Yang said.”

“Young Master Ye, you were really too much just now. Boss Yang walked from there to here, taking the initiative to avoid you, but you still kept pressing on. I think Boss Yang has been very restrained. If I were him, you would all be in the hospital right now. Anyway, your parents wouldn’t dare to do anything to me.”

“Young Master Ye, don’t be stubborn; you have to seize the opportunity when it is given to you. Don’t wait until the opportunity slips away, and then you come begging for mercy; it will be meaningless.”

“Yes, slapping yourself can make everything pass. You don’t appreciate such a good thing; you are really unwise.”

…

Ye Zilong said speechlessly and angrily: “You all shut up! Does it have anything to do with you? Can you shut your stinky mouths and stop offering your useless opinions? Boss Yang, I have already expressed my apology to you. Whether you accept it or not, I can only do this; it is impossible to slap myself. I know you are very powerful, but you can’t treat me like I’m nothing. Miss Lu, I have something to do; goodbye!”

After speaking, Ye Zilong turned to leave.

Yang Chen immediately said: “Ye Zilong, I’m giving you a chance to solve the problem; don’t you appreciate it. If you dare to leave now, the consequences are not something you can bear; you have to think clearly.”

Ye Zilong: “I know you are very powerful, but you haven’t reached the point where you can control everything. So many people are watching; if something really happens to me, you will be the prime suspect. I don’t believe you can do anything to me!”

Yang Chen: “Okay, then you wait for your dad to break your legs.”

Ye Zilong: “Hehe… Even if my legs are broken, I will never slap myself. This is a matter of principle!”

Ye Zilong left angrily.

“He really doesn’t know his place.”

“He doesn’t think about how much trouble his impulsive behavior will bring to his family.”

“He thinks that his father has become the chairman of Porsche, and Boss Yang can’t do anything to them. Hehe… He knows nothing about Boss Yang’s current status.”

…

Yang Chen immediately called Mayor Liu, and the call was connected quickly.

Mayor Liu: “Hello, President Yang, calling me so late; is there something good to share with me? Haha…”

Yang Chen: “Haha… Mayor Liu is right; I really have something good to discuss with you. It’s like this: I want to acquire Porsche Group and join forces with Porsche and Ferrari to cooperate

You Can’t Cover the Sky With One Hand – What’s Wrong With a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (5)

Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Rolls-Royce, and other brands to cooperate, so that Porsche really becomes Porsche, instead of the joke that everyone teases. I don’t know if the SASAC [State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission] of Zhejiang Province can help me?”

Mayor Liu: “Really! President Yang, don’t tease me! Are you sure you want to do this?”

Yang Chen: “I have nothing to do at night; do you think I’m so bored that I’d call you to joke around?”

Mayor Liu: “Haha… No, no, I’m not doubting President Yang; it’s just that this news is too good; I can’t believe it. As long as President Yang really wants to do this, I guarantee there will be absolutely no problem. I will immediately report to Governor S, and we will come forward to talk to the shareholders of Porsche and let them take the initiative to sell the equity to President Yang at a cheaper price. If Porsche comes to Hangzhou to build a factory in the future, I guarantee free land supply, exemption from three years of taxes, and provide enough loans according to the lowest interest rate standard. In short, as long as I, Liu Haiming, am still the mayor of Hangzhou, Porsche will definitely be able to get all the possible preferential treatment when building a factory in Hangzhou.”

Yang Chen: “Okay! Then it’s settled; you talk first, and give me a definite answer after you’ve talked. However, I have a request: immediately remove Ye Qingyun, the chairman of Porsche, and find someone to be the acting chairman for a while. I will have new arrangements later.”

Mayor Liu: “No problem; I’ll do it right away. I won’t sleep tonight; I’ll get things done. When President Yang gets up tomorrow morning, I will definitely tell you the result.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… Mayor Liu is loyal enough. Because of your sincerity, after I take down Porsche, I will build a factory in Hangzhou.”

Mayor Liu: “Haha… Then I will thank President Yang on behalf of the people of Hangzhou. You are busy; I will call Governor S to report this matter.”

Yang Chen: “Okay, I’ll wait for your news.”

Yang Chen’s actions shocked the guests again, and they further understood Yang Chen’s method of solving problems.

He directly contacted the mayor of Hangzhou and wanted to buy Porsche. Who else can do that?

Lu Xiaoyi: “President Yang does things really directly and decisively. When President Yang takes down Porsche, I hope you can give our Wanxiang Group more orders.”

Yang Chen: “If there is a need, I will definitely give you orders. I can’t earn all the money myself; there’s enough for everyone.”

Lu Xiaoyi: “President Yang is so right. I will dance a dance for President Yang now. President Yang, please sit down and watch. I’m making a fool of myself.”

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, pulled a chair, and sat down.

Lu Xiaoyi signaled everyone to step back and make room for her.

Lu Xiaoyi studied ethnic dance, so she came up with a medley of “Han dance, Miao dance, Dong dance, Yi dance, Tujia dance, Mongolian dance, Korean dance, Dai dance, Uyghur dance, and Tibetan dance”.

Putting aside her identity as the little princess of Wanxiang Group, with her appearance, figure, and talent, she is definitely more skilled than ordinary dancers.

In order to leave a deep impression on Yang Chen, Lu Xiaoyi pushed herself and danced for nearly half an hour, and finally had to stop because of physical exhaustion.

Lu Xiaoyi gasped and said, “President Yang, I’m sorry, I’m really too tired to dance. If I have the opportunity another day, I will prepare more fully and dance for President Yang again.”

.”

Yang Chen clapped his hands and said, “Miss Lu danced very well; I am very satisfied. I had a great time tonight; I ate and drank enough and appreciated Miss Lu’s beautiful dance. Okay, I have to go; I’m old; I can’t stay up late; I have to go back to rest.”

Lu Xiaoyi: “Ah? Is President Yang leaving now?”

Yang Chen: “It’s almost ten o’clock; I really have to go. Thank you, Miss Lu, for the ball; I had a great time. If I have the opportunity to go to Haicheng or Beijing, I will invite Miss Lu to dinner. That’s it for today; goodbye.”

The audience followed Lu Xiaoyi to send Yang Chen out, and the staff of the Pan-Pacific Hotel were stunned by this scene.

“What’s the situation? Why are they so polite to a ride-hailing driver?”

“I don’t know! Everyone is here to see him off, right? Tsk tsk tsk… Is the status of ride-hailing drivers so high now?”

“Don’t be silly; he can’t just be a ride-hailing driver; he must be a low-key big shot.”

“Who can be a big shot who can let all the guests come out to see him off? Even if Brother Ma [Jack Ma] comes to the ball, I’m afraid he won’t have this treatment, right?”

…

Seeing that Yang Chen was about to get in the car and leave, Wang Zhaohong and Lin Wanqiu panicked.

Wang Zhaohong urged Lin Wanqiu to kneel down and apologize, hoping Yang Chen would forgive her out of embarrassment.

Lin Wanqiu also believed his suggestion and knelt on the ground, hugged Yang Chen’s leg, and cried, “President Yang, please, have mercy and let me go. Is it okay for me to kowtow to you? Miao Miao, please say a word for me! We were comrades who struggled together in high school; you can’t forget our old friendship.”

Zhao Miao Miao: “What’s the point of saying this now? The announcement has been issued; it’s useless for you to cry.”

Wang Zhaohong: “As long as President Yang doesn’t say that whoever helps us is an enemy of President Yang, and takes back that statement, we can save ourselves. President Yang, please. I also apologize to you; please be sure to have mercy.”

Yang Chen: “Didn’t you ask why I have both of them?”

Wang Zhaohong immediately slapped himself; he knew that he didn’t have Ye Zilong’s family background, so he could only show sincerity to possibly get Yang Chen’s forgiveness.

“It’s my fault; I’m blind; I’m a toad wanting to eat swan meat [unrealistic ambition]; I deserve to die. I swear to God now that I will never dare to have any improper thoughts about Miss Zhao. Please forgive my rudeness; I’m sorry,” Wang Zhaohong said humbly.

The hotel staff were stunned.

“Lin Wanqiu is kneeling and begging that handsome guy for forgiveness! I’ll be damned, who is that person?”

“Is this still the glamorous superstar Lin Wanqiu? This is too humiliating, right?”

“No wonder all the guests came out to see him off; Lin Wanqiu is kowtowing to apologize. How awesome is this person?”

“Wow, there are indeed people beyond people. I thought Lin Wanqiu was already out of my reach; I didn’t expect there to be a big shot who can make Lin Wanqiu kneel and kowtow to apologize and beg for forgiveness.”

…

“Miss Lu, please pull them away; they’re blocking me,” Yang Chen said.

Lu Xiaoyi quickly nodded and said, “Okay. Come on, pull them away; don’t block President Yang’s way!”

The bodyguards who were responsible for protecting Lu Xiaoyi tonight quickly stepped forward and pulled Wang Zhaohong and Lin Wanqiu away.

The two of them were begging for forgiveness while struggling, but they couldn’t break free, so they could only watch Yang Chen take Yuan Siyao and Zhao Miao Miao into the car and leave.

“It’s over, it’s over, everything is over…” Wang Zhaohong muttered in a low voice.

He now especially regrets that he had thoughts about Zhao Miao Miao because of his lust; otherwise, he would never have deliberately found fault with Yang Chen, and he wouldn’t have made the situation like this now.

Lin Wanqiu slumped on the ground in despair, and she was completely stunned.

She has suffered so much and paid so much to get to this level, and now it’s all in vain.

Thinking of the times she had to struggle under dozens of old men, thinking of the millions she spent, she couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Regret, she regrets it so much that her intestines are green.

However, who can she blame?

She first looked down on her old classmate Zhao Miao Miao, then looked down on Yang Chen, and even deliberately designed to slander Yang Chen’s innocence, step by step putting herself to death.

Now that she has come to this end, it is just what she deserves.

She is not worthy of her position; no matter how glorious she was before, she would one day lose everything at once, and Yang Chen just made this day come earlier.

In the car.

Zhao Miao Miao said excitedly: “Dad, you are so amazing. I admire you so much; a phone call can determine the life and death of others, even more powerful than the protagonist in a domineering CEO novel. Hee hee…”

Yuan Siyao: “Of course. Master is the boss of the Starlight Group; the rich and powerful men described in romance novels are like this.”

Yang Chen: “Okay, you two stop flattering me. You weren’t full just now, right? I’ll take you to dinner. Tell me, what do you want to eat?”

Yuan Siyao: “I want to eat steak; I haven’t eaten it for a long time.”

Zhao Miao Miao: “Okay.”

Yang Chen: “Okay, then let’s go eat steak. However, it’s this late; the restaurants should be closed, so we can only eat at the hotel.”

Yuan Siyao: “Hee hee… That’s good, then let’s go back to the hotel to eat. After eating, we’ll go to sleep and not waste time.”

Zhao Miao Miao: “Hee hee… Agreed!”

At this time, Ye Zilong was on his way home.

His father Ye Qingyun called.

Ye Zilong hesitated for a moment but still answered the phone.

Ye Qingyun roared: “You little bastard, didn’t you beg Boss Yang for forgiveness? The SASAC called just now, and I’ve been removed from my position! You’ve really done it this time!”
