How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 607

The Miserable World: What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (1)

Seeing the countdown above the girl’s head about to end, just as she reached for the package, Yang Chen grabbed her hand with his left hand and pulled her out forcefully. Then, he slammed the door shut with his right hand and ran downstairs with the girl in his arms.

“Run! Run!” the girl shouted excitedly, tears streaming down her face.

Yang Chen was incredibly fast. By the time he reached the fifth floor, the door of 602 was just being opened.

However, the person inside didn’t chase after them. Instead, they retreated back inside and escaped through the balcony using the drainpipe.

Yang Chen carried the girl all the way to the street before putting her down, asking, “What’s going on with your family?”

The girl was still shaken. She burst into tears.

“Please, call the police for me. I was raped, and he held a knife to my neck, forcing me to give him money.”

Without hesitation, Yang Chen immediately took out his phone and called the police.

The police officers who were nearby in a clothing store, advising the female owner Wang Yuan’e not to scan a QR code, received the order and rushed over.

After all, burglary, rape, and robbery are major cases, and the perpetrator would face at least ten years in prison if caught.

Wang Yuan’e said confidently, “I’m honest and hardworking. Isn’t it reasonable for me to suddenly have good luck? I think you’re just jealous. Besides, I’m not stupid. If it were a scam, wouldn’t I be able to tell?”

In the end, she still joined the group [referring to a scam group, implying she fell for the scam despite warnings].

On the other side, the police officers arrived at the scene to understand the situation. Yang Chen explained everything he knew to them in detail.

Yang Chen used his phone to take a picture of the intruder from the woman’s home surveillance footage and then left.

However, he wasn’t just going to leave it at that. This kind of evil burglar, rapist, and robber had to be caught as soon as possible, or other innocent women might be harmed.

Yang Chen sent a message to Qiu Yuhong, ordering the brothers in the Star Chen Defense Group’s intelligence department to take action and find the whereabouts of the intruder as quickly as possible.

“Chairman Qiu, this person committed burglary, rape, and robbery. Have the intelligence department immediately find his location and have the brothers catch him and hand him over to the nearest police station. I’ll send you the location. Have them check the street surveillance around this area to see if they can find him.”

Soon, Qiu Yuhong replied.

“Received, will do immediately!”

Yang Chen put away his phone and continued delivering packages.

At this moment, a thought flashed in his mind. Wasn’t this case special enough?

Why wasn’t it counted as a special mission?

At this time, the system gave an explanation.

“The host has chosen the professions of courier and traffic auxiliary police. The host has already completed five special missions through the courier profession, and the remaining five special missions need to be completed through the traffic auxiliary police profession.”

Ah?

So, it had to be fairly distributed between the two professions.

Then, he should quickly finish delivering these packages, quit his job, and go to the traffic police brigade tomorrow to find a job as an auxiliary police officer for a few days.

More than an hour later, Yang Chen returned after delivering the packages.

When he passed by that clothing store again, he saw the owner, Wang Yuan’e, excitedly talking to the police officers.

Yang Chen parked his tricycle on the side of the road and listened carefully to what she was saying.

“I worked hard for ten years and only saved 200,000 yuan. If I can’t get it back, I won’t live anymore. Wuwu…”

Well!

She finally couldn’t resist the temptation, scanned the QR code, joined the group, and got scammed.

This wasn’t anyone else’s fault.

Yang Chen had tried to dissuade her, and the police officers had also tried to dissuade her, but she still insisted on throwing her life away. Compared to the shamelessness of the scammers, her brainlessness was even more infuriating.

Yang Chen returned to the Shunfeng [a Chinese courier company] delivery station and went to the manager’s office to resign.

Manager: “Ah? Are you leaving so soon? To be honest, I really don’t want you to leave. Why don’t you become a full-time employee? With your delivery speed, I guarantee your monthly income won’t be less than 10,000 yuan, net.”

Yang Chen: “Thank you, manager. I said when I applied that it was just a temporary transition. Now that the transition is over, I want to do other work.”

Manager: “Sigh… Then what kind of work are you going to do?”

Yang Chen: “Traffic auxiliary police.”

Manager: “Oh, you passed the auxiliary police exam? Congratulations, congratulations. Well, then I won’t delay your bright future. I’ll have the finance department calculate your salary, and it will be deposited into your account when salaries are paid next month.”

Yang Chen: “Okay. Thank you.”

Manager: “You’re welcome. With your work attitude and ability, I think it won’t be difficult for you to become a formal traffic police officer in the future. I’ll go talk to the finance department.”

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, went to the finance department to verify his salary, left his bank card number, and then left the delivery station.

Although it was only a little over 800 yuan, it was all earned through Yang Chen’s labor and he had to get it.

Not long after Yang Chen left the delivery station, Wu Caiyi came looking for him.

“Uncle, hello, is Yang Chen here?” Wu Caiyi asked.

Courier: “Yang Chen? Oh, you mean Little Yang? He just resigned, just left not long ago. He was doing so well, but he suddenly resigned. Something must have happened.”

Wu Caiyi’s heart skipped a beat, and she said, “Did he… leave in a hurry?”

Courier: “Yes, he left in a hurry.”

Wu Caiyi pursed her lips, almost crying.

Because she felt that Yang Chen was preparing to run away, and that their relationship was just a fleeting romance.

He kept saying she was his woman, but it turned out he was just哄骗 [hōngpiàn – to coax, deceive] her. He came back and resigned to run away.

Wu Caiyi turned and left, tears streaming down her face.

Yang Chen drove to the nearby traffic police brigade, found the captain, Li Rongke, and identified himself.

Li Rongke excitedly shook Yang Chen’s hand and said, “Hello, Director Yang. I’ve long admired your name. I really didn’t expect you to come to our brigade. Are you here to deal with a traffic violation?”

Yang Chen: “Hello, Captain Li. I drive very steadily and don’t have any traffic violations to deal with. It’s like this, I’ve been a little bored recently and wanted to experience being a traffic police officer. I don’t know if Captain Li can arrange a not-so-important auxiliary police job for me so I can have a good experience for a few days?”

Li Rongke: “Haha… no problem! Director Yang, your timing is perfect. Our brigade is preparing to make a legal education program to be broadcast on platforms like Douyin [TikTok in China] and Kuaishou [another popular short video platform in China] for netizens to watch. The on-screen police officer has already been determined, and now we’re short of a filming assistant. I was just considering who to give this job to. Look, isn’t your arrival just in time?”

Yang Chen: “Legal education program? That’s great! I’ll be the cameraman. What are your Douyin and Kuaishou account names? I’ll send a message to their 负责人 [fù zé rén – person in charge] and ask them to give you traffic promotion.”

Li Rongke: “Haha… that’s great, that’s great, thank you so much, Director Yang.

The Miserable World: What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (3)

Our account name seems to be ‘Haicheng First Squadron’. I’ll call the police officer in charge of appearing on camera to come and talk to you.”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Okay!”

Li Rongke made a phone call, and soon a young and beautiful young lady ran in.

“Captain Li, you were looking for me?” the girl asked with a smile.

Li Rongke: “Xiao Liu, let me introduce you to a partner. This is the famous Star Chen Group’s boss, Yang Chen, Director Yang. Director Yang, this is our legal education specialist, Liu Naixin.”

Liu Naixin excitedly covered her mouth, her eyes shining.

“You’re Director Yang! Oh my god, so young and so handsome? I imagined you would be a mature man around 50 years old, with a bit of the vicissitudes of time, you completely exceeded my expectations. Hello, Director Yang, I’m honored to meet you,” Liu Naixin said excitedly.

Yang Chen very gentlemanly lightly touched Liu Naixin’s hand and said, “Hello, Miss Liu. I’m also very honored to meet you.”

Li Rongke quickly told Liu Naixin about the situation, and Liu Naixin immediately jumped up excitedly and said, “That’s great! I never dreamed that one day I could work with Director Yang. When can we start working?”

Li Rongke: “Whenever Director Yang is available, you can start.”

Yang Chen: “I’m available now, we can start anytime.”

Li Rongke: “Okay! Xiao Liu, I’ll leave Director Yang to you. Work is important, but Director Yang’s safety is even more important. Don’t easily go to roads with unclear traffic conditions for filming, understand?”

Liu Naixin: “Please rest assured, Captain Li, I will definitely pay attention to safety. Director Yang, let’s go.”

Yang Chen: “Okay! Captain Li, we’ll go to work first. Thank you.”

Li Rongke: “Haha… Director Yang, you’re too polite. You can come over to be an auxiliary police officer whenever you’re bored. The country is still waiting for you to make more contributions, so you must combine work and rest.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… okay! Let’s go.”

Li Rongke sent Yang Chen out and quickly came back to post on WeChat moments to show off.

“Question: What is it like to have Star Chen Group’s boss Yang come to work as an auxiliary police officer under you?”

Not long after this WeChat moment was posted, people left messages and commented.

Zhao Hong from Haicheng Second Squadron: Captain Li, do you have nothing to do during the day, dreaming here?

Chen, Director of Haicheng Traffic Bureau: Xiao Li, why would you suddenly post this kind of dynamic? I can’t get Director Yang for you, don’t fantasize about it.

Chen Gao from Haicheng First Squadron: Captain Li’s goal is very lofty, to have Director Yang come to our bureau to work?

…

Li Rongke replied to them one by one: This is really not my fantasy, Director Yang just came to our brigade, saying he’s been a little 烦躁 [fán zào – agitated, restless] recently and wanted to experience being an auxiliary police officer. Our brigade is just about to do a legal education program, and I asked him to be the cameraman. Remember to watch our brigade’s Douyin tomorrow morning, the first episode should be posted. Director Yang also said he would say hello to platforms like Douyin and Kuaishou and ask them to give our program traffic promotion. With Director Yang’s help, it’s hard for our legal education program not to be popular. How annoying, the year has just started, and I’m going to pre-order this year’s best again. Sorry to the other brigades, you can only compete for second place.

Well, Yang Chen is still getting familiar with the camera equipment, and Li Rongke is already

The Miserable World: What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (4)

starting to brag.

Soon Yang Chen learned how to use the camera equipment, and then he and Liu Naixin got in the car and set off.

Because it was a new program, the team couldn’t temporarily spare manpower to help, so for the time being, only the two of them could do it.

Yang Chen not only had to be the cameraman but also had to work as a driver, etc.

Liu Naixin: “Director Yang, thank you, your arrival is really timely. Thank you for your hard work, and I have to trouble you to be the driver.”

Yang Chen: “It’s not hard, I’m idle anyway, it’s better to find something to do than to be idle.”

Liu Naixin: “Director Yang is really nice. I heard that you usually drive a ride-hailing car to pass the time, is that really true?”

Yang Chen: “Yes. My ride-hailing car is parked in your brigade’s parking lot.”

Liu Naixin: “Then your profession is very relevant to us.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… it’s somewhat related.”

The two chatted and arrived at their destination.

Yang Chen found a parking lot to park the car, and he did a final check of the filming equipment.

Liu Naixin had to put on light makeup and tidy up her clothes and hat.

After getting ready, the two got out of the car and waited at the intersection.

In fact, legal education programs are not new at all. They existed in the era when television was popular.

Later, after the Internet became popular, legal education programs were even more numerous.

But there are not many legal education programs that can really be liked by the audience.

I don’t know if this program from the First Squadron can stand out from the many legal education programs.

The two squatted for a while, and an old man riding a tricycle came against the traffic.

The tricycle was carrying waste products such as cardboard, and an old man about the same age as the old man was sitting on top of the waste products, holding a big yellow dog.

Liu Naixin quickly signaled Yang Chen to start filming, and she took the lead to run over to direct the passing vehicles to stop and give way, and beckoned the tricycle old man to ride over.

Liu Naixin: “Old man, you’re going against the traffic, do you know that?”

The old man had a calm look, giving Yang Chen the feeling that he could really achieve “Mount Tai collapsing in front of him without changing his expression” [a Chinese idiom meaning remaining calm in the face of a major crisis]. His calmness was not deliberately 装出来的 [zhuāng chū lái de – put on, faked], but a temperament that he possessed, and it was certain that he must have experienced a lot of life’s 磨难 [mó nàn – hardships, suffering].

Old man: “I know, but this road you built is very unreasonable, it’s blocked in the middle, I can’t get through. If I drive in the right direction, I have to go forward hundreds of meters to the traffic light intersection to turn around, and I only need to go against the traffic for dozens of meters to get through. I’m not stupid, why should I run hundreds of meters more?”

Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh, but luckily he didn’t laugh out loud.

I have to say that the old man is an old man, and he grasped this pain point very accurately.

Some sections of the road are indeed designed very unreasonably. If you drive on the right according to traffic laws, you have to run hundreds of meters forward to turn around, but going against the traffic only takes dozens of meters to get out. As a rational person, everyone will definitely think about going against the traffic, especially pedestrians and people riding electric bikes, no one will be stupid enough to run hundreds of meters and then turn around, they will definitely go against the traffic to complete these dozens of meters to get out.

Liu Naixin said with a smile: “Old man, I think you’re right, the road design may not have been well thought out, and a small opening should have been made. But the road is already like this, and we can’t change it. For safety reasons, we have to travel according to the law. You said there’s another old man sitting on your car, what if something accident happens? Your family will definitely be very sad.”

Old man: “Not sad.”

Liu Naixin: “How can they not be sad? Aren’t your parents sad?”

Old man: “My parents died a long time ago, more than twenty years ago.”

Liu Naixin: “Then what about your wife? How can she not be sad?”

Old man: “Dead, also dead.”

The expression on Liu Naixin’s face was already a bit serious, and she said, “Then your children will also be sad.”

Old man: “Dead, also dead.”

Liu Naixin instantly became uneasy and said, “Ah? Really?”

Old man: “Really! Died in childbirth, died with his wife, also died more than twenty years ago.”

Not only Liu Naixin was emo [a slang term for being emotional or depressed], but Yang Chen also felt a little blocked in his heart.

What a big joke God was playing with him, to have him encounter such an experience.

Liu Naixin quickly continued to ask: “Then don’t you have any brothers and sisters? They will also worry about you.”

Old man: “My brother died 18 years ago.”

Liu Naixin gently took a breath and said, “Then do you have a younger brother or sister?”

Old man: “I have a younger brother, that’s him.”

Liu Naixin breathed a sigh of relief, took two steps forward, and said to the old man on the tricycle, “Hello, old man.”

The old man on the car didn’t speak, just smiled 憨憨地 [hān hān de – simple-mindedly, innocently], forming a sharp contrast with the calmness of the old man on the ground.

Liu Naixin: “Hello, old man.”

The old man on the ground quickly said: “He can’t speak, he’s stupid.”

Liu Naixin: “Ah?”

The old man on the ground: “He ate bad medicine when he was a child and damaged his brain.”

Liu Naixin pursed her lips and looked back and forth at the two old men, not knowing what to say for a while. She didn’t expect that the first case would be so upsetting.

Liu Naixin: “You only have your brother as your family now?”

The old man on the ground: “Yes, oh, and a dog, this dog is also more than ten years old, it’s about to die of old age.”

Liu Naixin: “Oh, in your situation, anyone would feel particularly painful, really. So many changes have happened in your family, but I see that you are still very calm.”

The old man on the ground: “Look forward, look forward to everything.”

Liu Naixin: “Old man, you’re right, life may be very hard, but we must look forward. I won’t punish you, but you must remember that you can’t go against the traffic for convenience in the future. You not only have yourself, but you also have your brother and the big yellow dog behind you. You are traveling with your whole world on your back, so you must pay attention to safety. Okay?”

The old man on the ground: “Okay. I will try not to take shortcuts in the future. But you should also react to the road builders and open an opening in the guardrail in the middle of the road, so that we don’t have to run thousands of meters back and forth.”

Liu Naixin: “Okay! I will definitely pass your suggestion on to the road administration, and I hope they can meet your requirements. Then old man, you go, be careful. I wish you and your whole world all the best from now on.”

The old man finally smiled, nodded, got in the car and left.

Yang Chen finished filming, feeling a little heavy.

Liu Naixin said with a sad face: “They are so pitiful…”

Yang Chen nodded gently, without speaking.

This is not the legal education that Yang Chen imagined, why is it so sentimental?

After a while, Yang Chen said: “I think the old man is right, it is very unreasonable that there is no place to turn around in such a long section of the road. If you come this way, normal thinking will want to go against the traffic to save time. I’ll talk to the road administration later and open an opening in the middle guardrail, at least give pedestrians and electric bikes an opening to cross the road.”

Liu Naixin: “Okay, I’ll report to the leaders when I get back and let them communicate with the road administration.”

Yang Chen: “I thought it would be fun to do this, but I didn’t expect the first case to be so uncomfortable. Sigh…”

Liu Naixin: “Yes, I didn’t expect there would be such miserable people in the world. At this time, a van ran a red light.”

Here comes the work, Liu Naixin immediately stepped forward to signal the van to pull over.

Yang Chen also cheered up and quickly went over to film.

Liu Naixin: “Driver, you ran a red light.”

Driver: “Sorry! I thought I had enough time to get over, I overestimated my speed.”

Liu Naixin saw that the big brother [a respectful way to address a man] in the passenger seat was flushed, and it was obvious that he had been drinking.

Could it be drunk driving?

Liu Naixin: “Driver, please get out of the car. We need to test you for drunk driving.”
