How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 606

You’re Kidding Me, Right? What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (1)

Wu Zhixiong had a bad feeling, sensing that the cabbage he had worked so hard to grow was being eyed by a pig [meaning his daughter was being targeted by someone he didn’t approve of].

He quickly called his daughter again, but this time the call was rejected once more.

“Bastard!” Wu Zhixiong couldn’t help but curse. He dialed again, only to be reminded that her phone was turned off.

Wu Zhixiong angrily slammed his phone on the table, feeling extremely frustrated.

“Raising a daughter, raising a daughter, what a waste! Once she’s grown up, she runs off with some punk and doesn’t even answer her own father’s calls! I’ll never raise a daughter again in my next life to save myself from this pain!” Wu Zhixiong said, seething.

At this moment, his son Wu Longfei asked, “Dad, what’s wrong? Why are you so angry?”

Wu Zhixiong: “Your sister is now with some punk, and Li Yingjie is so angry that he wants to cancel our cooperation. I called Caiyi, and she turned off her phone.”

Wu Longfei: “Little sister has a boyfriend? Why didn’t she say anything? I think this is good. I never agreed to use her happiness to trade with Li Yingjie. But… I admit that I really don’t have the ability to solve our family’s problems. Now that things have come to this, let it be and don’t force little sister. At worst, we’ll completely transform our business. This kind of risky business is inherently risky, so let’s just not do it.”

Wu Zhixiong: “Humph! It’s easy for you to say. If we completely withdraw from the Macau entertainment industry, what other business can make up for this loss?”

Wu Longfei: “If there are no good projects, then let’s set up a factory. Now, influencer marketing is very popular. I’ll talk to a few influencers about cooperation. I’ll be responsible for production, and they’ll be responsible for sales. We’ll set up food and clothing factories. No matter what the economic situation is, people always have to eat and dress.”

Having gotten used to businesses where he could easily get commissions, bonuses, and interest, Wu Zhixiong didn’t want to go through the hard work of setting up a factory.

“When I completely retire in the future, you can decide what you want to do. Now, I’m still the one making the decisions. We must do everything we can to fight for the Macau entertainment business. When Caiyi comes back tomorrow, I must ask her clearly who she’s messing around with!” Wu Zhixiong said angrily.

On the other side, Li Yingjie went home and complained to his mother, Li Lianxiu, exaggerating what happened in the hotel room when Wu Caiyi was with a man in front of him.

Li Lianxiu was in high spirits, so how could she accept her son being humiliated by Wu Caiyi in person?

Li Lianxiu immediately called Wu Zhixiong, furious.

“Hey, Wu Zhixiong, what do you mean by this? How did you educate your daughter? You’re bullying people too much!” Li Lianxiu said angrily.

Wu Zhixiong: “President Li, don’t be angry. There must be some misunderstanding. I can’t get through to Caiyi’s phone. When I do, I will definitely ask what’s going on and give you a reasonable explanation, okay?”

Li Lianxiu: “You’ll be able to get through? She’s having fun with some wild man in a hotel room right now. How could she have time to pay attention to you? If your family doesn’t want to get married, we won’t force it. But your daughter’s actions are too humiliating! Not only will our cooperation be canceled, but I will also use my connections to make your family completely withdraw from Macau entertainment.”

Wu Zhixiong: “President Li, please calm down. We can talk about anything. How about this? When Caiyi comes back tomorrow, I’ll bring her to your door to explain things clearly, okay?”

You’re Kidding Me, Right? What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (2)

Li Lianxiu: “What do you take our family for? A garbage recycling station? She’s already slept with another man, and you still want my son to marry her? You’re dreaming! Mr. Huang [likely referring to a powerful figure in Macau entertainment] is coming to Haicheng to meet Boss Yang of the Star River Group the day after tomorrow, and I was planning to take you to meet him. But you’ve given me this kind of thing. It serves your Wu family right to decline from now on.”

Chairman Huang Hongsen of Macau Entertainment and Boss Yang of the Star River Group – what a divine combination!

Being able to see them both at the same time is enough for people with total assets of several billion to brag about for a lifetime.

Wu Zhixiong quickly said, “President Li, I apologize to you. I sincerely apologize to you. Please give us another chance. I guarantee that Caiyi will be well-behaved and will give birth to offspring for your Li family. If she does anything out of line again, I’ll compensate you with my life, okay?”

Li Lianxiu smiled coldly and said, “I said just now that our family is not a garbage recycling station. Your daughter has already slept with another man, so we won’t let her marry into our family. The reason I called you was not to hear you say sorry to me, but to inform you that the Wu family’s situation will get worse and worse. I, Li Lianxiu, swear to God that I will do everything I can to suppress your Wu family. This is the price your daughter will pay for humiliating my son!”

Wu Zhixiong wanted to beg for mercy, but Li Lianxiu hung up the phone directly.

“Alas… you little troublemaker, this is all thanks to you!” Wu Zhixiong said angrily.

At this moment, the old man Wu Gaoming came in.

“Zhixiong, what’s wrong? I heard your tone is not right!” Wu Gaoming asked.

Wu Zhixiong sighed and told the old man the situation.

Wu Gaoming immediately became anxious and tapped the floor with his crutch, saying, “Quickly call her back!”

Wu Zhixiong: “Alas… she turned off her phone. I can’t call her!”

Wu Gaoming: “Then go find her!”

Wu Zhixiong: “I can’t get through to her phone. Where can I find her!”

Wu Gaoming: “Alas… it’s all because you spoiled her! She can’t put the overall situation first at all. It’s a waste to raise her!”

Wu Zhixiong: “Hey, alright. She’s only 20 years old and still in school. The whole family is forcing her. You have to consider her feelings too. When you went on a blind date with my mother, didn’t you have to like each other before getting married? Can you just grab someone off the street and get married?”

Wu Gaoming didn’t speak. Although he was in the wrong, he still insisted on his opinion that Wu Caiyi must marry Li Yingjie in exchange for the Li family’s customer resources to ensure that the Wu family could continue to stay in the Macau entertainment industry.

At this time, in the hotel room.

Wu Caiyi had just experienced love for the first time, having been plowed twice in a row [a crude term for having sex]. She was now exhausted, her throat was hoarse, and she was sleeping soundly.

Yang Chen’s body recovered quickly. If he didn’t see that she was swollen [likely referring to being sore from the sexual activity], he would have continued.

Oh, right, there was still serious business to take care of.

Yang Chen came to the living room and called a leader of a certain department to communicate about the relevant matters of “sending troops” to southern Myanmar to destroy the fraud dens [referring to online scam operations].

You’re Kidding Me, Right? What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (3)

Leader: “Is President Yang serious? It’s not easy to communicate over there! In fact, we have been communicating and cooperating with them through official and unofficial channels to crack down on and destroy fraud dens, but there are too many warlords over there, and the government army can’t control them. It’s really difficult to communicate. We communicate with A, and A demands that B be killed before he is willing to cooperate. We communicate with B, and B demands that A be killed before he is willing to cooperate. If we really start a fire with the warlords over there, the nature of the matter will change. We can’t ignite a war between the two sides for this little thing. President Yang can understand what I mean, right? So we are very embarrassed. We are more anxious than the common people to destroy those fraud parks. But… alas… there are too many aspects involved. Many of the past fraudsters are wanted criminals, and they will resist to the end with all their might. So for so many years, we have been trying to negotiate a suitable bargaining chip, but there are no results yet.”

Yang Chen: “I understand all of this, so I have already cleared the roadblocks for you. Tomorrow, you can directly contact them. I believe there will be good news.”

Leader: “Ah? Is President Yang serious? I understand President Yang’s good intentions very well. But you can’t be too impulsive and change the nature of things.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… don’t worry, I have people communicating with those warlord mercenaries. There will definitely be results tonight. You can try to contact and consult them again during your work hours tomorrow. I believe there will be good news.”

Leader: “Haha… okay! If that’s the case, then President Yang will have made another contribution to the motherland!”

Yang Chen: “What contribution? I just don’t want to see my compatriots being harmed. Alright, you guys hurry up and prepare. If there are any problems, call me at any time. This time, we must strive to destroy all those fraud dens.”

Leader: “Haha… definitely, definitely! Alright, President Yang, rest well. I’ll go and set up an action team now.”

Yang Chen hummed and hung up the phone.

It’s getting late, so he hurried to bed. He had to get up early tomorrow to go back and deliver packages.

Yang Chen returned to the bedroom and gently lay down next to Wu Caiyi.

Wu Caiyi suddenly turned over and lay on Yang Chen, hugging him tightly.

“Hmm? Not asleep?” Yang Chen asked.

Wu Caiyi: “I was asleep, but I felt a little pain, so I woke up again.”

Yang Chen: “Ah? It hurts? My bad.”

Wu Caiyi: “It’s not your fault. After we separate tomorrow, will we meet again?”

Yang Chen: “Of course we will! What do you mean by that? Do you think this is a one-night stand?”

Wu Caiyi: “I’m afraid you think this is a one-night stand! Although I’m not old, I’m very sensible. If you want to leave, I will definitely not pester you.”

Yang Chen: “Listen to me clearly, remember this firmly. You are my woman now. In the future, you have to keep a certain distance from other men. Normal interactions are okay, but they can’t exceed a reasonable limit. If someone bullies you, find me immediately. I’ll solve your family’s business problems. You don’t have to be forced by your family, and you don’t have to be threatened by Li Yingjie.”

Wu Caiyi smiled and hummed, saying, “Okay, I’ll remember it. It’s getting late, let’s go to sleep.”

Because they had to rush back to deliver packages, the two of them checked out and left at seven o’clock.

Yang Chen first dropped Wu Caiyi off downstairs in her neighborhood and then hurried to the delivery station to start today’s delivery work.

SF Express has high shipping costs. If the recipient does not have special requirements, in principle, every order must be delivered to the door, unlike other express companies that directly throw it at the station or express cabinet,

You’re Kidding Me, Right? What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (4)

allowing the recipient to pick it up themselves.

Yang Chen still paid people to deliver packages to residential areas and office buildings, while he delivered them to shops along the street himself.

Yang Chen came to a clothing store, took the package to the door, and asked loudly, “Is Wan Wo Niao here?”

At this moment, a girl behind the cashier stood up with a confused look on her face.

“Wan Wo Niao?” Yang Chen asked.

The girl rolled her eyes and said, “What Wan Wo Niao? I’ll pluck your chicken [a vulgar expression]! It’s Wang Yuan’e, Wang Yuan’e, understand?”

Yang Chen: “Oh, that’s not my fault. The sender wrote your name too fragmented.”

Girl: “That’s not right! I don’t think I’ve bought anything recently.”

Yang Chen: “Really? Then confirm that the package information is correct.”

The girl carefully looked at the express waybill. The name was indeed written a bit fragmented, looking like “Wan Wo Niao” instead of “Wang Yuan’e.”

She didn’t recognize the sender’s name, but the recipient’s phone number was indeed hers, and the item was written as Yuanxiao (sweet dumplings) [a traditional Chinese dessert, often eaten during festivals].

“Who sent me these Yuanxiao? No one told me,” Wang Yuan’e said suspiciously.

However, she still picked up a pen and signed for it.

Yang Chen was in a hurry to deliver the package, so he turned around and left.

At this moment, the system issued a reminder.

“Congratulations, Master, for completing a special task. The current task progress is 5/10. Please continue to work hard.”

Huh?

What kind of special delivery is this?

For some reason, Yang Chen had a bad feeling.

Yang Chen looked back at Wang Yuan’e, who was unpacking the package. Soon, she removed the package, and inside was indeed a bag of Yuanxiao and a scratch card.

Yang Chen walked back, and Wang Yuan’e asked with a puzzled look, “What’s wrong?”

Yang Chen: “How should I put it? I suddenly have a bad feeling. This package of yours might be a trap. Let me see the scratch card.”

Wang Yuan’e handed the scratch card to Yang Chen. It listed various prizes.

Fruit Phone 14Pro [likely referring to an iPhone 14 Pro], winning probability of 1/10,000.

Cash 10,000 [currency unspecified, but likely local currency], winning probability of 3/10,000.

…

Cash 5 yuan [currency unspecified, but likely local currency], winning probability of 99%.

Yang Chen said with a smile, “Guess what prize this scratch-off is?”

Wang Yuan’e: “It must be 5 yuan, almost 100% probability.”

Yang Chen: “No, I think it should be a Fruit 14 phone.”

Wang Yuan’e: “Impossible! 1/10,000 chance, how could it be so easy to win?”

Yang Chen immediately scratched open the covered area, and sure enough, it was a Fruit 14Pro reward.

“Ah! Oh my god, I really won! You’re amazing! You could even guess this!” Wang Yuan’e shouted excitedly and couldn’t help but jump up and down.

Yang Chen said with a smile, “Even a 1/10,000 probability was won, which means this is a scam. What are you happy about? Think carefully about why you were targeted by a scam.”

Wang Yuan’e: “I’ve accumulated good deeds all my life, so winning the lottery is reasonable. Why is it a scam? You’re just jealous of me!”

Yang Chen: “Look carefully, you need to scan the code to claim the prize. Are you scanning the code?”

Wang Yuan’e: “Scan! Why not scan?”

After speaking, Wang Yuan’e took out her phone and scanned the code.

The code scanned out a WeChat group, asking the winners to join the group to claim the prize.

No need to look any further, it must be a low-level brushing scam [a type of online fraud where people are tricked into performing tasks for minimal rewards, often leading to financial loss].

You’re Kidding Me, Right? What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (5)

“Don’t join, this looks like a brushing scam at first glance,” Yang Chen reminded.

Wang Yuan’e: “Stop it, okay? I’m not stupid, how could I be so easily scammed? You’re just jealous of me!”

Yang Chen: “Whatever, it’s none of my business anyway.”

Yang Chen turned around and left, but he still kindly called the police, asking the anti-fraud police from the police station to come and persuade Wang Yuan’e, so she wouldn’t be scammed.

If it’s a brushing scam, the other party will definitely lure Wang Yuan’e to take the bait little by little, which will take some time, enough for the anti-fraud police to come and persuade her.

Having only met once, doing this is enough.

Yang Chen continued to deliver packages and soon came to a six-story European-style residential building along the street.

The door to the upstairs staircase was locked, so Yang Chen had to call the recipient.

After dozens of seconds, the recipient finally answered the phone.

Yang Chen: “Hello, delivery. The stairs are locked, I can’t go up, come down and get it.”

Recipient: “Ah? What?”

Yang Chen: “Delivery, your delivery is here, SF Express.”

Recipient: “Oh, delivery! Where is it?”

Yang Chen: “…”

The voice sounds like a young person, and the speech is quite fluent, so why is it a bit confused?

Yang Chen: “I’m at the staircase entrance downstairs, the stairs are locked, I can’t go up, come down and get it.”

Recipient: “Get what?”

Yang Chen: “Delivery! SF Express!”

Recipient: “Go where?”

Yang Chen: “Downstairs at your house! At the staircase entrance!”

Recipient: “Who is it? Is it you?”

Yang Chen: “Yes! I’m at the staircase entrance downstairs at your house, the staircase entrance is locked, come down and get the delivery.”

Recipient: “Oh, delivery!”

Yang Chen: “Yes! Beauty, do you think this is very fun?”

Recipient: “No! Shouldn’t I ask clearly? Delivery, right? Then put it at the staircase entrance. I’ll get it when I go down.”

Yang Chen: “What if it gets lost?”

Recipient: “If it gets lost, I’ll definitely hold you responsible!”

Yang Chen: “You just wait for me, I’ll tear down this building and scold you in person! Damn it!”

Yang Chen hung up the phone, gathered the anger accumulated in his heart into his fists and feet, and kicked open the iron door in a few strokes.

“Damn it, I have to see what kind of freak this is!” Yang Chen said angrily and ran to the door of 602 in one breath, smashing the door a few times and shouting, “Open the door!”

There was no movement in the house. After more than ten seconds, Yang Chen smashed the door a few more times and said, “Zhao Wenjing, I know you’re inside, don’t pretend you’re not home! Come out quickly, or I’ll smash your lock!”

After a few more seconds, there was finally movement inside.

Recipient: “What are you doing? If you break my door, you have to pay for it!”

Yang Chen: “Come, come, come, open the door, and I’ll pay you for ten doors.”

Recipient: “If you want me to open it, I’ll open it? What if you’re a bad guy?”

Yang Chen: “I’m an SF Express deliveryman, how many times have I told you? Are you kidding me? Open the door quickly, or I’ll smash the door.”

Recipient: “Don’t mess around! I’ll call the police and arrest you!”

Yang Chen: “Even if the King of Heaven comes today, it won’t work. I have to scold you in person to relieve my anger. Are you opening it or not? If you don’t open it, I’ll smash it!”

After speaking, Yang Chen punched and kicked the door hard.

After a while of silence inside, the door suddenly opened.

A girl with a nervous expression said, “You… you come in and talk.”

Yang Chen immediately calmed down because he saw that the girl had a life countdown on her head, and there were only 30 seconds left.

At the same time, Yang Chen smelled a smoky smell, the kind of smoky smell that comes from smoking for a long time.

Obviously, there is another, or even several, men in the house, probably hiding behind the wall next to the door. If Yang Chen dares to take a step inside, there may be some weapons coming at him.

Now Yang Chen finally understands why she said so much nonsense. It turns out she is being held hostage.

“You idiot, don’t tease the deliveryman like this again in the future. Sign it quickly, I have to deliver other packages,” Yang Chen said and then handed the package to her.

The girl’s eyes subconsciously glanced at the wall next to her and then replied, “Okay.”
