How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 587

The Pitiful Guy Gets Cuckolded—What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?

Yang Chen’s “coffee + Moutai” [Moutai is a premium Chinese spirit] idea shocked everyone present. Their initial reaction was that he was ignorant and spouting nonsense.

Mixing liquor with coffee was just a lyric in a song. Did he seriously intend to create that?

Ding Dajun: “President Yang, are you joking? How can you mix baijiu [Chinese white liquor] and coffee?”

Yang Chen: “It’s simple. Just add a small amount of Feitian Moutai [a specific, high-end brand of Moutai] to the coffee. This way, people who want to drink Moutai but can’t afford it or are hesitant to drink it straight can experience the flavor with an affordable cup of coffee. Many young people today don’t enjoy baijiu. As the older generations pass away, the baijiu market will inevitably shrink. While Moutai’s reputation is at its peak among Chinese consumers, we should develop products that appeal to younger demographics. Moutai-flavored lattes, liquor-filled chocolates, ice cream, and even sandwich bread could quickly capture the entry-level market. The Moutai Group has a market capitalization of 10 trillion yuan. Relying solely on baijiu sales won’t sustain that in the long run.”

Ding Dajun: “Goodness, nobody has ever done that before!”

“Haha…” Everyone was amused by Ding Dajun’s reaction.

Yang Chen smiled, stood up, walked over to Ding Dajun, gently patted him on the shoulder, and said, “We need to try it precisely because nobody has done it before. If others have already done it, there’s no opportunity for us. Besides, only a brand like Moutai has the potential to succeed with this kind of nationwide initiative. Consumers are indifferent to other brands. I’ve brought the R&D and production teams from Luckin Coffee here to collaborate with the R&D and production personnel from Moutai.”

Ding Dajun understood Yang Chen’s strategy in pairing Luckin and Moutai. He intended to use this “Moutai-flavored coffee” to boost Luckin’s performance to match its publicity and financial reports, preventing Wall Street from successfully short-selling the stock.

Ding Dajun also recognized the importance of protecting Luckin Coffee, as it directly impacted the stability of other Chinese concept stocks [Chinese companies listed on US stock exchanges].

“I understand President Yang’s intention. The secretary has gone to the municipal government for a meeting. I’ll call him and ask when he can return to hear your opinion,” Ding Dajun said.

Yang Chen nodded with a smile and said, “Okay. Please do, Director Ding.”

Ding Dajun quickly called Li Yongnian, the secretary of the Moutai Group, explained the situation, and urged him to return as soon as possible to speak with Yang Chen personally.

Over half an hour later, Li Yongnian arrived.

Li Yongnian very politely stepped forward to shake hands with Yang Chen and said, “Hello, President Yang. I’ve heard so much about you. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Yang Chen: “Hello, Secretary Li. Let’s sit down and talk.”

Li Yongnian: “Okay, okay. President Yang, please have a seat.”

Ding Dajun explained Yang Chen’s idea to Li Yongnian in detail and asked for his decision.

Li Yongnian hesitated to embrace the idea immediately. The “Moutai + Luckin” combination was a daring move. If successful, it could generate significant buzz and steer Moutai in a new direction.

However, if mishandled, Moutai’s prestigious status could plummet.

At that moment, Li Yongnian’s secretary entered and whispered something in his ear.

Li Yongnian’s expression revealed surprise at what the secretary had said.

Li Yongnian waved his hand, signaling the secretary to leave, and then shook Yang Chen’s hand, saying, “I believe President Yang’s proposal is bold and innovative. We can try it. Let’s proceed as President Yang requests. I hope the R&D personnel from Luckin and Moutai can develop this ‘Moutai-flavored coffee’ as quickly as possible. Director Ding, please arrange for the two R&D teams to begin the R&D work immediately. Personnel can be rotated, but the R&D work cannot be halted. We must develop a suitable product within three days at most.”

Ding Dajun was shocked. What did the secretary tell Li Yongnian that made him so decisively support Yang Chen?

Since the secretary agreed, Ding Dajun, as the chairman, naturally didn’t object. Yang Chen’s proposal could be approved without further discussion.

Ding Dajun quickly summoned someone to arrange for the two R&D teams to begin their work immediately.

Li Yongnian said with a smile, “It’s almost lunchtime, President Yang. Let’s go eat.”

Yang Chen: “Thank you, Secretary Li. Let’s go.”

While Yang Chen went to get the car, Ding Dajun quickly asked, “Secretary Li, what did the secretary say to you just now? Why did you so readily support President Yang’s suggestion?”

Secretary Li: “The provincial government called and said that the higher-ups instructed us to fully cooperate with President Yang. Whatever he wants, we will provide.”

Ding Dajun: “I see. It seems the leaders want to actively cooperate with President Yang to counter Wall Street and protect Luckin Coffee at all costs. If we lose this initial battle, the laws of the capital market dictate that Chinese concept stocks will inevitably decline across the board, and those Wall Street guys will profit effortlessly.”

Li Yongnian: “I don’t know much about the capital market, but I can sense the importance of Luckin Coffee. President Yang spent trillions of yuan to acquire 10% of Moutai’s shares, undoubtedly to leverage Moutai’s national popularity to help Luckin. Originally, the fate of Chinese concept stocks had nothing to do with President Yang, but he took on this responsibility, and the higher-ups certainly can’t let him fight alone. They will instruct all relevant departments and units to actively cooperate. You must tell the R&D department that personnel should be rotated, and the R&D work cannot stop for even a second. We must develop a suitable product as quickly as possible. The longer we delay, the more Chinese concept stocks will fall, and the more those Wall Street robbers will earn.”

Ding Dajun: “Okay, I will.”

…

At 8 p.m., Yang Chen walked out of Hai City Airport.

The necessary arrangements had been made. Now he only needed to wait for the R&D personnel from Moutai and Luckin to develop a viable product.

After dinner, Yang Chen went to Jin Ming’s place.

He planned to monitor the U.S. stock market trends with Jin Ming tonight, so he wouldn’t be going home.

At 9:30 p.m., the U.S. stock market opened.

Unsurprisingly, Luckin Coffee fell sharply again, dropping below $4 and heading straight for $3.

Other Chinese concept stocks were also mostly in the red, but the decline wasn’t as drastic.

Jin Ming: “Fortunately, only Luckin is falling sharply. Other Chinese concept stocks aren’t showing any major abnormalities. It’s clear that investors are watching closely. If Luckin Coffee survives, Chinese concept stocks will be fine. If Luckin Coffee collapses, it will trigger a collective decline in Chinese concept stocks. Investors will panic and cut their losses. At that point, we’ll have to pour money in to protect the market. However, it’s the U.S. stock market, and major violations like financial fraud result in delisting.

Even if we’re willing to spend real money to protect the market, we might not succeed. Our biggest problem is that we don’t know how many ‘Luckins’ exist among these Chinese concept stocks. The uncertainty is too high.”

Yang Chen: “Okay, tomorrow, email all Chinese concept stock listed companies, instructing them to truthfully explain their financial reports and operating conditions. We need to identify any companies with problems in advance. Also, transfer someone from Xingchen Investment to Luckin headquarters in Xiamen as chairman. Start tomorrow immediately, without delay.”

Jin Ming: “Okay! What if those companies don’t cooperate?”

Yang Chen: “Then make it clear that if they become targets for Wall Street short-selling, we’ll stand by and watch.”

Jin Ming: “Okay. I’ll draft the email now and send it tomorrow after I find all the email addresses of the secretaries of the Chinese concept stock companies. It’s getting late; you should go to sleep. I’ll watch the market and call you if anything unusual happens.”

Yang Chen: “You should sleep too. It makes no difference whether you watch it or not.”

Jin Ming: “Okay then. I’ll go to sleep after I write the email; you go to sleep first.”

At this time, the lights were still on in a conference room of the Securities Regulatory Department.

More than 20 people in the conference room were staring at the U.S. stock market on the monitor, looking dazed.

The department leader sighed and said, “The situation isn’t good. Alas, has President Yang taken any substantive action yet?”

The secretary next to him replied: “I checked with Moutai. President Yang asked Moutai and Luckin to jointly develop ‘Moutai-flavored coffee,’ and the researchers are working non-stop in shifts. President Yang himself has returned by plane, but there are no other actions.”

Leader: “Moutai-flavored coffee? Only he could think of that!”

Others laughed while fighting off their drowsiness.

“Really? What is Moutai-flavored coffee?”

“Only President Yang would come up with something like that, spending trillions of yuan to acquire Moutai’s shares just to partner with Moutai and Luckin. His approach is incredibly direct and simple.”

“Haha… I’m genuinely curious about what Moutai plus coffee tastes like, cup after cup.”

“Haha…”

“After all this talk, I’m not sleepy anymore. But, President, should we go to bed? President Yang is the main player here; we can only cooperate with him. There’s no point in just watching the U.S. stock market. President Yang hasn’t decided what to do, and we can’t unilaterally announce any policies. The higher-ups also instructed us to fully cooperate with President Yang, so we will follow his lead.”

Department leader: “Okay! Secretary Li, go to work early tomorrow morning and immediately notify all Chinese concept stock companies to fully cooperate with President Yang. They must provide him with detailed information he requests and comply with his instructions. If any company refuses to cooperate, our Securities Regulatory Department will send a special team to investigate.”

Secretary: “Okay. I will notify all Chinese concept stock companies to fully cooperate with President Yang as soon as I arrive at work tomorrow.”

Department leader: “Okay. Everyone has worked hard; go back and rest quickly. Don’t be late tomorrow; be on time for work. Meeting adjourned!”

Early in the morning, Yang Chen and Jin Ming arrived at Xingchen Investment together.

The employees of Xingchen Investment hadn’t seen Yang Chen in a long time, and some new employees hadn’t met him, so everyone excitedly took pictures of him with their mobile phones.

Yang Chen smiled and waved to everyone, saying, “Good morning, everyone.”

“President Yang, this time we must teach those Wall Street robbers a hard lesson!”

“President Yang, everyone is waiting for your counterattack. You’re too calm; it’s been three days, and you haven’t said a word. Aren’t you worried that public opinion will turn against us?”

“President Yang never makes empty promises. He either doesn’t act, or he’ll strike decisively.”

“Haha…”

Yang Chen smiled and replied: “Thank you for your concern. I have been taking action these past few days, but this time, I can’t rely on capital alone to fight back, so it takes time to prepare. However, everyone should be mentally prepared. When we win the battle for Luckin Coffee, those foreigners will retaliate fiercely, testing your trading skills and our financial strength.”

Jin Ming: “Okay, everyone, work hard; the market is about to open. Guo Ziming, come to my office.”

A man in his forties ran over quickly and followed Yang Chen and Jin Ming into the CEO’s office.

Jin Ming introduced Guo Ziming’s accomplishments and abilities to Yang Chen and recommended him as the chairman of Luckin Coffee.

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, and said, “Brother Guo, are you willing to go to Xiamen as the chairman of Luckin?”

Guo Ziming: “As long as President Yang needs me to go, I’m willing.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… Okay. Then hand over your current work and leave immediately for Xiamen. Luckin is in chaos right now. Once you arrive, use my authority to take decisive measures to stabilize the situation as quickly as possible. If anyone resists, fire them. Don’t be intimidated by those seasoned veterans. A new leader brings new staff. Since we’ve taken over Luckin, it’s reasonable to replace people in various departments with our own. Don’t be afraid of them just because you’re new. Understand?”

Guo Ziming: “Understood! Thank you, President Yang and President Jin, for your trust. I will work hard and live up to your expectations. I’ll go hand over my work now.”

Yang Chen and Jin Ming nodded, and Guo Ziming ran out happily.

Jin Ming brought the recent operating report of Xingchen Investment and handed it to Yang Chen for approval.

Currently, Xingchen Investment has two main projects.

First, the self-defense counterattack against Wall Street.

Second, quietly investing in room-temperature superconducting concept stocks.

Xingchen Investment has completed the initial investment in domestic room-temperature superconducting concept stocks and is waiting for Xingchen Technology Group to announce the breakthrough in room-temperature superconductivity when the time is right, then waiting for a significant rise to profit.

However, the investment in foreign room-temperature superconducting concept stocks hasn’t been completed, mainly because foreign funds are dedicated to supporting Chinese concept stocks. Even if all the funds aren’t needed, they must be kept in reserve.

Originally, Yang Chen planned to announce the results of room-temperature superconductivity before the New Year, but that now seems unlikely.

After Yang Chen and the Wall Street Alliance reach a resolution, overseas funds can be freed up to invest in room-temperature superconducting concept stocks.

Moreover, Yang Chen needs to maintain a safeguard in case the Wall Street Alliance loses and then uses political means to freeze Yang Chen’s overseas funds.

If they resort to such tactics, Yang Chen can use the results of room-temperature superconductivity as leverage to force them to unfreeze the funds.

Over the past decade, Chinese people have largely recognized the true nature of foreigners. They are wolves in sheep’s clothing, feigning civilization, freedom, and democracy, but in reality, they are robbers, devoid of morality.

As long as it benefits them, they arbitrarily restrict or even sanction others, disregarding international law and ethics.

Therefore, when dealing with these foreigners, you must maintain a means to hold them accountable.

Yang Chen closed the folder and said, “Good job. There are still half a month before the New Year; have you arranged the year-end bonuses and other benefits?”

Jin Ming: “The year-end conference is in preparation, and the year-end bonuses are being finalized. Don’t worry; all employees will be satisfied.”

Yang Chen: “Okay. Then you can get back to work; I’m going out for a walk.”

Jin Ming: “Okay. President Yang, take your time. I won’t see you off; I need to send emails to Chinese concept stock companies.”

Yang Chen: “Okay. You’re busy; work is important.”

Yang Chen left Xingchen Investment and hailed a taxi to pick up passengers.

The first passenger was a young man with a panicked expression.

“Brother, please drive faster; go to the Peninsula Hotel,” the young man urged.

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll try to be as fast as possible.”

Yang Chen rushed to the Peninsula Hotel as quickly as possible, speeding through yellow lights whenever possible.

About 20 minutes later, Yang Chen dropped the young man off at the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel.

It had been a while since he had a coffee there. Yang Chen parked the car and went in for a Peninsula coffee to pass the time.

However, after parking and approaching the hotel entrance, he saw the passenger arguing with a man and a woman; the man was Black.

Male passenger: “I’ve been delivering takeaways all night, and you’re cheating on me with a Black guy? Do you have any shame?”

No wonder the guy was so anxious; he was catching his girlfriend cheating.

The girlfriend kept apologizing, but she remained in the Black guy’s arms.

The male passenger broke down and raised his fist to strike the Black guy.

The girlfriend cried out in grief: “Don’t hit him! Please, don’t hit him!” It was clear that this woman truly loved the Black guy, using her arms to shield him and blocking her boyfriend’s attacks.

People came and went at the hotel entrance, stopping to watch the scene unfold.

Seeing his girlfriend’s actions, the male passenger felt heartbroken.

“Chen Xia, you’re ruthless! We’re breaking up; you can be with your Black daddy. Return the 8,000 yuan I send you every month, and the gold and silver jewelry I gave you. We’re done; I’m setting you free,” the male passenger said sadly.

The girlfriend cried and said, “No! I don’t want to break up with you! I love you; I want to marry you. I’m just playing with him; I can’t marry him. Don’t be angry, okay? Let’s go home now; let’s go.”

The male passenger pushed his girlfriend away and said, “Get your dirty hands off me; don’t touch me!”

The girl fell to the ground, and the Black guy, displeased, pointed at the male passenger and said, “Hey! What are you doing? You can’t hit a woman!”

Male passenger: “Shut up! You son of a bitch, shut up!”

The Black guy couldn’t take it anymore and punched the male passenger.

This woman protected the Black guy so much because he had his strengths; his physique was his advantage. Although the male passenger tried his best to fight back, he was no match.

Seeing the Black guy about to deliver another heavy blow, Yang Chen quickly rushed forward, grabbed his wrist, and kicked him to the ground.

“Hey! This is China, not your country. You can’t hit people here; you’ll regret it,” Yang Chen said angrily.

The Black guy refused to back down, got up, and charged at Yang Chen.

But his movements appeared in slow motion to Yang Chen. Before his fist landed, Yang Chen stepped forward and punched him to the ground.

The woman, concerned for her lover, quickly crawled over to check on the Black guy’s injuries.

“How are you? How do you feel? Do you need to go to the hospital?” the woman asked, distressed, then roared at Yang Chen: “How can you hit someone? Everyone, please help us call the police, thank you.”

The onlookers responded with contempt.

“How can you be so shameless? Your boyfriend was beaten by him, and you sat on the ground without saying a word. Now that he’s been hit, you’re so worried. You said you wanted to marry your boyfriend; do you have any shame?”

“Don’t you feel disgusted? How can you bring yourself to do that? Since you chose this Black man, you should let go of your boyfriend, return all the money he gave you, and stop wasting each other’s time.”

“It’s embarrassing; I don’t know what your parents would think if they saw this. You’ve disgraced your ancestors.”

…

The woman didn’t see anything wrong with her actions and said, “I’m just playing with him; my boyfriend is the one I want to marry! People say it’s better to demolish ten temples than to break up a marriage. You’re not offering reconciliation; you’re kicking someone when they’re down. Do you have any morals?”

At this point, an aunt with a fiery temper couldn’t restrain herself, stepped forward, slapped her, and scolded: “Who are you scolding? You shameless hussy have disgraced Chinese women. How dare you accuse us of lacking morals? Do you have any shame? If your parents didn’t teach you, I’ll help them.”

Auntie was true to form, grabbing the woman’s hair and beating her.

Several other aunts, unable to resist the urge, rushed forward to grab the woman’s hair and scratch her.

“Ah! Help! Murder! Someone’s killing me!” the woman wailed.

Fortunately, the police arrived, or she might have been beaten beyond recognition.

The woman cried and said to the police: “Officer, they beat me; please arrest them quickly.”

“You insulted us first; you deserved it!”

“Yes! Who told you to cheat with a Black man and then insult people? You deserved to be beaten!”

“You shameless slut, insulting us is the greatest humiliation we’ve ever experienced. What’s wrong with beating you? You’re lucky we didn’t kill you.”

…

The police quickly restored order and, after understanding the situation, took everyone back to the station.

Yang Chen was helpless. He had only wanted to have a cup of coffee, but now he had to go to the police station to give a statement.

Yang Chen patted the male passenger on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry; I’m here. You’ll be fine. How do you want to deal with these two scumbags?”

Male passenger: “Brother, thank you for helping me; otherwise, I might have been seriously injured. Damn, he’s ruthless. I just want that slut to return the money I spent on her, and it would be best to cripple that Black guy so he can’t continue to prey on Chinese women. If he’s left alone, other brothers will be cheated on without knowing it, like me.”

Yang Chen: “Okay! Leave it to me; I’ll help you get your wish.”

Yang Chen called Zhang Xiang and said, “Hello, Lawyer Zhang, send a lawyer to Caojing Police Station. I got into a fight and need legal advice. Also, I have another case for him to handle.”

Zhang Xiang: “Okay, I’ll send my apprentice, Wang Qiang. Are you okay? Are you injured?”

Yang Chen: “Just kidding; earthlings can’t hurt me.”

Zhang Xiang: “Haha… that’s good. Wait, I’ll call Wang Qiang right away. By the way, Zhao Yong’s case is almost closed. The police are likely to find Zhao Yong not guilty, and Gao Lanlan guilty of extortion. We just need to supplement some details to complete the evidence chain.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… I knew that with Lawyer Zhang’s help, no case is unsolvable. Thank you for your hard work; I’ll treat you to Moutai-flavored coffee when you return.”

Zhang Xiang: “Ah? What kind of coffee is that? Which brand is it? Luckin?”

Yang Chen: “Luckin and Moutai co-branded; it’s the first cup of Moutai for young people. Haha…”

Zhang Xiang: “So that’s why you spent so much money to buy Moutai’s shares. You wanted to use Moutai’s reputation to help Luckin. Only you could think of this, and only you could pull it off. I’ll wait to try this Moutai-flavored coffee. I’ll call Wang Qiang now; you handle things there and wait for him to arrive before proceeding.”

Yang Chen: “Okay.”

Yang Chen took a photo of the Black man and sent it to Qiu Tian.

“Qiu Tian, investigate this jerk and have someone cripple him so he can’t continue to harm Chinese women!”

Qiu Tian quickly replied.

“Okay, Brother Chen, I’ll do it right away.”

The male passenger was stunned. With a shocked and puzzled expression, he asked, “Brother, who are you?”

Yang Chen: “Hello, my name is Yang Chen.”

The male passenger quickly shook hands with Yang Chen, his eyes wide with shock, and said, “Yang… Yang Chen? Which Yang Chen? Are you Yang Chen, the famous boss of Xingchen Group?”

Yang Chen: “I don’t know if I’m famous, but I am Yang Chen, the boss of Xingchen Group.”

Male passenger: “Oh my god, oh my god. You’re Boss Yang! I’m so lucky to have gotten into your car. Hello, Boss Yang; my name is Zhao Cheng. I’m so excited.”

Yang Chen: “Hehe… Hello, hello.”

The police officers next to him were also excited and quickly stepped forward to shake hands with Yang Chen.

“Oh my god, are you really Boss Yang of Xingchen Group?”

“The whole country is waiting for you to fight back against Wall Street; why are you still driving around?”

“Shouldn’t you be figuring out how to deal with Wall Street? Have you figured out your strategy? I’ve been following the news closely, waiting to see what you’ll do.”

…

Yang Chen: “Haha… This can’t be rushed, but it’s coming to an end soon. I don’t take those Wall Street people seriously; I can deal with them easily.”

Police officer: “Haha… that’s good. Wait, I heard that this foreign friend hit someone first; you were acting in self-defense, right?”

Yang Chen: “Yes!”

Police officer: “Then you don’t need to go to the station; just sign here. Do you want to press charges against this foreign friend?”

Yang Chen signed the form and said, “No, my time is precious, and I don’t want to waste it on him. But I hope the police handle this fairly. He slept with this brother Zhao Cheng’s girlfriend and then hit him, which is quite bad. He shouldn’t be let off just because he’s a foreigner.”

Police officer: “President Yang, don’t worry; we guarantee to handle this according to the law. His actions constitute disorderly conduct and intentional harm, which are criminal offenses. This is Zhao Cheng, right? You can claim compensation for medical expenses; the law supports it. We’ll assist Zhao Cheng in protecting his legitimate rights and interests.”

Yang Chen: “Okay, great! It’s a blessing for the people of Hai City to have such upright police officers. I’ll go rest for a while.”

Police officer: “Okay, okay. President Yang, take your time, and we’re waiting for you to fight back against Wall Street!”

Zhao Cheng: “President Yang, thank you. I wish you success in fighting back against Wall Street and teaching those grandsons a lesson.”

Yang Chen nodded with a smile, turned, and walked toward the Peninsula Hotel.

Maybe I’m not destined to drink coffee today.

At this time, his wife Wang Jiayi called.

Wang Jiayi: “Hello, bad guy, are you busy?”

Yang Chen: “Not busy. What’s wrong?”

Wang Jiayi: “A classmate of mine came back from abroad and insisted on meeting my boyfriend. So… hehe…”

Yang Chen: “Then I have to go; I’m not ashamed to show you off. Where are we meeting?”

Wang Jiayi: “Haha… that’s right; my boyfriend is the best person in the world. They’re at the Marriott Hotel now. I’m going to meet her later, treat them to a meal, and go shopping in the afternoon. Can you make time?”

Yang Chen: “Of course. Big ol… you’re my boss. Whatever the boss says, I’ll do, even if I don’t have time, I’ll make time to accompany you.”

Wang Jiayi: “Hehe… that’s good. Come over now, and we’ll go together later.”

Yang Chen: “Okay.”

Wang Jiayi: “Did you almost say ‘boss’ when you said ‘big ol’ just now?”

Yang Chen: “Yes! What else would I say?”

Wang Jiayi: “Okay then. I’m hanging up; come over quickly.”

Oops, I almost slipped up.

“I need to find a chance to confess to them. Those who want to stay will stay, and those who don’t will be given money to find happiness. I feel guilty,” Yang Chen muttered.

Five years ago, Yang Chen was ambitious and wanted all the beauties in the world.

But as he aged, his thoughts changed.

Now, even if beautiful girls take the initiative, he consciously resists.

Maybe it’s because he’s matured, or maybe it’s something else.

Perhaps he’s afraid of disappointing them?

Or perhaps he hasn’t found a way to settle things yet.

Yang Chen quickly got in the car and rushed to the store where Wang Jiayi worked.

“Hehe… you’re here! Wait for me; I’ll change clothes, and we’ll leave,” Wang Jiayi said happily.

Yang Chen nodded with a smile and sat down to wait.

A few seconds later, a clerk walked over with a glass of water and said, “Store manager’s boyfriend, have a glass of water.”

Yang Chen quickly got up to take it and said, “Thank you.”

Clerk: “I haven’t seen you in a while; have you been busy?”

Yang Chen: “I’ve been a little busy. Are you busy?”

Clerk: “It’s okay! Take the store manager out and don’t come back; we can handle the store. Have a good time tonight, and try to make her unable to get out of bed tomorrow.”

Yang Chen: “…”
