How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 622

What First Blood? Don’t Talk Nonsense!_What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?

Wang Yulong was a little confused. Who was this Boss Yang?

“Director Li, who is this Boss Yang? I don’t understand what you’re talking about,” Wang Yulong replied.

Li Wenyuan scolded, “Did you guys get into a fight with a ride-hailing driver from Haicheng?”

Wang Yulong: “Yes, there was such a thing. How did you know, Director Li?”

Li Wenyuan: “How do you think I know? The municipal government called to hold me accountable, saying you attacked Boss Yang of the Starry Sky Group. Boss Yang has decided to cancel the SKP project [a large-scale commercial real estate project]. They also complained that our demolition compensation to Pan Le was too little and demanded that we meet his requirements.”

Wang Yulong: “Ah? That ride-hailing driver is Boss Yang? We didn’t know it was him, and he didn’t say he was Boss Yang! What do we do now?”

Li Wenyuan: “I’ve already asked Deputy Mayor Chen to invite Boss Yang to dinner tonight. We’ll apologize to him in person then. You immediately agree to Pan Le’s compensation demands and get them to sign the agreement.”

Wang Yulong: “Okay, okay.”

Hanging up the phone, Wang Yulong quickly ran over and kicked the two thugs lying on the ground.

Then he came to Pan Le with a smile and said, “Mr. Pan, after discussions at headquarters, we’ve decided to meet your demands. Get up and sign the agreement quickly.”

Pan Le ignored the pain in his head and asked, “Are you serious?”

Wang Yulong: “Of course, it’s true! It’s a signed contract; how could I go back on my word?”

Pan Fengmei quickly looked at where Yang Chen’s car was parked, but it was no longer there.

“Did that ride-hailing driver make your headquarters agree?” Pan Fengmei quickly asked.

Wang Yulong: “Beauty, if you knew Boss Yang, you should have said so earlier. We wouldn’t have caused such a disaster.”

Pan Fengmei: “Boss Yang? Which Boss Yang?”

Wang Yulong: “Ah? You don’t know him? That ride-hailing driver was Boss Yang of the Starry Sky Group.”

Pan Fengmei: “Ah? He’s Boss Yang of the Starry Sky Group! I didn’t know he was Boss Yang. I just happened to get his car. I was wondering how a ride-hailing driver could understand chemistry and physics and be so interested in my major. Oh, if I had known he was Boss Yang, I would have asked him for an interview. It would be great if I could join Starry Sky Technology.”

It seemed Pan Fengmei didn’t know the ride-hailing driver was Boss Yang. She really just happened to get his car.

The bald man who threatened not to let Yang Chen off was trembling with fear, saying, “Brother Long, what should I do now? I didn’t know he was Boss Yang. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to talk to him like that even if I had a hundred lives. What did Director Li say? Is there any hope for me?”

Wang Yulong: “Director Li said the municipal government called him. Boss Yang is very angry and wants to cancel the SKP project. The municipal government is communicating with Boss Yang, hoping he can give us a chance to apologize. Let’s wait for news. Director Li can’t do anything right now.”

The bald man instantly collapsed to the ground, saying, “It’s over, it’s over… If Boss Yang really cancels the SKP project, we can’t bear the blame.”

The surrounding villagers also started to discuss.

“What’s going on? Was that young man Boss Yang of the Starry Sky Group? Is the SKP his?”

“It sounds like that’s what they’re saying. Xiao Mei is really lucky to have gotten Boss Yang’s ride-hailing car.”

“Wait… I’m a little confused! Boss Yang is already so rich, why is he still driving a ride-hailing car to make money?”

“You don’t know, do you? Boss Yang has too many businesses under his name. He can’t manage them all himself, so he simply hands them all over to professional managers to manage for him. He has nothing to do every day, so he drives a ride-hailing car to pass the time. Xiao Mei is really lucky. If she hadn’t gotten Boss Yang’s car, their family’s problem wouldn’t have been solved.”

…

At this time, Chen Feng was on the phone, earnestly persuading Yang Chen to calm down and have dinner together in the evening so that Li Wenyuan, the chairman of Wenyi Real Estate, could personally bring people to apologize to him in person.

The He City SKP project has been in the works for almost ten years. Now that it’s finally been confirmed, Yang Chen certainly wouldn’t really cancel it because of this little thing. It was just an excuse to scare He City into cleaning up Wenyi Real Estate.

Yang Chen: “There’s no need for an apology. I don’t want to see them. For the sake of the great efforts we’ve both put into this project, let’s just let it go.”

Chen Feng: “Thank you, thank you, thank you. It’s great that President Yang can think that way. When is it convenient for you to meet with Mayor Luo? I’ll arrange it.”

Yang Chen: “I have time now. Whenever it’s convenient for you.”

Chen Feng: “Okay! I’ll contact you as soon as I confirm. Let’s have dinner together tonight. It’ll be clearer to talk in person.”

Yang Chen: “Then let’s just grab a bite. Don’t go to a high-end restaurant.”

Chen Feng: “Okay! Then I’ll treat President Yang to a private meal. I just bought a coupon on Douyin [a popular Chinese video-sharing social media platform] a few days ago. Let’s go to Fushan Kaiseki Restaurant tonight and try some island country flavors. Is that okay?”

Yang Chen: “Okay! You decide.”

Chen Feng: “Okay! Then let’s meet at the entrance of Fushan Kaiseki Restaurant at 7 PM.”

Hanging up the phone, Yang Chen continued to take orders.

At seven o’clock in the evening, Yang Chen arrived at the restaurant on time.

He contacted Chen Feng by phone, and the two walked into the restaurant with smiles.

The waiter came forward to greet them, and Yang Chen asked with a smile, “Miss, where do you source your ingredients from? Are they authentic island country ingredients?”

Waiter: “No, we source our ingredients from China, but the head chef is from the island country.”

Yang Chen: “Oh, that’s good.”

Chen Feng: “Does President Yang have any requirements for the ingredients?”

Yang Chen: “I didn’t before, but I do now. The island country is preparing to discharge sewage. Who knows if they’ve already secretly discharged it? If they source ingredients from the island country, then I won’t eat it.”

Chen Feng: “Ah? Has it been confirmed that they’re going to discharge it into the sea?”

Yang Chen: “I just vetoed the discharge proposal at the shareholders’ meeting, but they’re still not giving up and are preparing to forcibly discharge it through legal means. So, if you want to eat seafood, eat more of it recently. Who knows when they’ll suddenly discharge it? Then you won’t be able to eat it. No one wants to give themselves cancer or even mutate by eating seafood.”

Chen Feng: “Damn it, those little devils [a derogatory term for Japanese people] are inhumane. Aren’t they dragging the people of the world down with them?

They shouldn’t exist on Earth. They should immigrate to Mars with the US, and then Earth will be peaceful.”

Yang Chen laughed. It seemed Chen Feng was still a passionate person.

The two came to the private room and sat down. Chen Feng ordered two set meals that could use coupons, and the two chatted about business while eating.

According to Chen Feng, the He City government had prepared many projects to discuss with Yang Chen.

But among the many projects, there weren’t many that Yang Chen was interested in.

Yang Chen: “I’m very interested in the Quantum Technology Center and the Metaverse projects. As for introducing technology companies and factories, I can help you make connections. Do you have target companies?”

Chen Feng: “Yes! We want to introduce Longwei and Biwaddy [likely intended to be BYD, a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer]. I don’t know if President Yang can help us make connections?”

Yang Chen: “Don’t you already have Weilai [NIO, a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer]? Why do you still want Biwaddy?”

Chen Feng: “Biwaddy is developing the best and fastest now. We don’t need them to move their offices here, just set up a factory here. It’s mainly for solving employment problems. One more factory can solve at least a thousand jobs. Our current positioning for He City is the capital of technology. It’s better to introduce more large companies to commercialize our research results.”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “I understand your meaning.”

Chen Feng: “Then can President Yang help us with this?”

Yang Chen: “Of course, but you have to meet my conditions. Doing business is always about mutual benefit, cooperation, and win-win situations. It can’t be that you win and I just cheer on the sidelines. You’re right, aren’t you?”

Chen Feng laughed and said, “President Yang is straightforward. That’s exactly the principle. President Yang, if you have any requests, please let me know so I can report them to the leaders and we can discuss them in advance. That way, we can save time when we talk.”

Yang Chen: “First, partner with me and Longke University. Second, I want the management rights of Huangshan [Yellow Mountain, a famous mountain in China], at least 49%. In addition to helping you make connections, I can also invest 100 billion here for scientific research. You decide how to allocate the remaining funds to other projects besides investing in the Quantum Technology Center and the Metaverse, which I’m interested in.”

Originally, Chen Feng thought Yang Chen’s request for the management rights of Huangshan was a bit outrageous, but when he heard that Yang Chen was investing 100 billion in He City for scientific research, he felt that this request was nothing.

Chen Feng: “No problem, I’ll report President Yang’s request to the leaders, and we’ll discuss it seriously.”

After visiting the Five Mountains, you don’t look at other mountains; after visiting Huangshan, you don’t look at other mountains [a Chinese idiom meaning that after seeing the best, nothing else compares].

If Yang Chen could get the management rights of Huangshan, Starry Sky Culture and Tourism could be listed [go public on the stock market].

If they still don’t allow it to be listed, then continue to invest, continue to acquire scenic spots. He has plenty of money to pile it up until Starry Sky Culture and Tourism is listed.

After eating for a while, Yang Chen felt a little urge to urinate and got up to go to the bathroom.

Just as he reached the bathroom door, Cao Ruoxue came out of the women’s restroom.

“Huh? Brother Chen, why are you here?” Cao Ruoxue asked.

Yang Chen: “I came to try the cuisine here. Are you eating here too?”

Cao Ruoxue: “Yes! I have an appointment with my classmates tonight, hoping to borrow some money from them. If I can borrow another 30 million or so, we can get through the crisis. Wait for me in the private room later, and I’ll give you the remuneration I owe you. I promised to give you 10% remuneration, and the check for 8 million has already been issued.”

Yang Chen: “Huh? Didn’t we agree to deduct it by playing the piano? Why are you issuing a check again?”

Cao Ruoxue: “I thought about it carefully, and I must do what I promised. If you want to hear me play the piano, I can play it for you.”

Yang Chen really couldn’t hold it in anymore and quickly went inside to relieve himself.

When he came out, Cao Ruoxue quickly pulled him to the door of her private room.

“Brother Chen, wait here. I’ll go in and get the check,” Cao Ruoxue said softly.

Yang Chen was also helpless. He couldn’t refuse it.

Cao Ruoxue returned to her seat, opened her bag, and took out the prepared check.

Lin Wanyu’s eyes lit up, and she deliberately asked, “Ruoxue, what are you doing with the check? I’m treating today. You don’t need to pay.”

Cao Ruoxue: “Crazy! Even if I were paying, I wouldn’t use a check to pay. The ride-hailing driver who helped me is outside. I promised to give him 10% of the reward, so I’m giving him the check now.”

Lin Wanyu: “Ah? Are you okay? Are you really going to give him 8 million? Your family is already short of money. You know how important this 8 million is to you, right? Even if you voluntarily promised to give him 10% as a thank you, you should wait until your family’s crisis is over before giving it to him. What did you come here for tonight? To borrow money from everyone. You’re generously giving away 8 million here, and then you’re coming to borrow money from everyone. Do you think that’s appropriate?”

The classmates didn’t want to lend money to Cao Ruoxue in the first place, worried that she wouldn’t be able to pay it back in a short time, or simply wouldn’t be able to pay it back at all.

But because they were concerned about their old classmate’s feelings, they were too embarrassed to say it directly.

Now that Lin Wanyu had given them an opportunity, they quickly expressed their opinions.

Huang Ying: “Ruoxue, you wouldn’t do that, would you? If you can give him 8 million, it means your family isn’t particularly short of money.”

Zhang Xiaohui: “You’re giving away 8 million to someone else so casually. I’m not that generous. You’re still coming to borrow money from us. I feel a little insulted.”

Seeing that the classmates were all blaming Cao Ruoxue, Li Kang, the longtime admirer who had never succeeded in pursuing her, quickly said, “Everyone, don’t say that. You should put yourselves in Cao Ruoxue’s shoes. There was no chance to get the payment from the Jianghuai Chamber of Commerce in advance. Only that ride-hailing driver had the opportunity. But the ride-hailing driver had no obligation to help her. If she didn’t use a large sum of money to lure him, how could he be willing to go to the president of the Jianghuai Chamber of Commerce’s house to ask for money? Now that he has helped her get the payment back, she should fulfill her promise. Cao Ruoxue is so short of money, but she still wants to fulfill her promise. We should be even more confident in lending her money because she will definitely find a way to pay us back.”

Classmate Wang Song mocked, “Li Kang, after all these years, you’re still simping [excessively attentive and submissive to someone, especially in the hope of winning their romantic affection] for her? Seriously, if I were a girl, I would have been moved by your sincerity and persistence. It’s a pity that Cao Ruoxue still doesn’t want to accept you. Ten years of simping for nothing.”

Li Kang: “Wang Song, what the hell are you talking about? Even if I’m a simp, if Cao Ruoxue really can’t borrow money, I’ll sell my family’s company. That’s enough to help her get through the crisis. Loving someone requires being selfless. I don’t think it’s a shameful thing.”

Wang Song: “Right, right, right, you’re a love saint!”

“Haha…” Everyone laughed.

Cao Ruoxue: “Wang Song, thank you, but I really don’t need you to sell your family’s company. I can find a way to solve it myself.”

Wang Song: “Okay, I don’t even have a chance to be a simp.”

“Haha…” Everyone laughed again.

At this time, Chen Kang, who was drunk, came in with a few people.

Chen Kang and Li Kang were both named Kang, and they had both been pursuing Cao Ruoxue for many years without success.

The difference was that Li Kang could maintain a good attitude and continue to persist even without success, while Chen Kang had lost patience and had long colluded with Lin Wanyu to quickly get Cao Ruoxue.

Chen Kang had just drunk nine-tenths of his fill at another dinner party. He was at his most unstable state.

Chen Kang kicked Li Kang’s chair hard and said, “What right do you have to like Cao Ruoxue?”

Li Kang was not convinced and said, “Because I’m willing to sell my family’s company for her. Are you willing?”

Chen Kang: “You’ve already been reduced to selling your company to help her get through the crisis. You still have the nerve to compare yourself to me? I can use some connections to help her get through the crisis. Do you think you can compare to me?”

Li Kang was still not convinced and said, “Then I’m also willing to give everything for Cao Ruoxue. I just love her more than you do.”

Chen Kang: “What’s the use of loving her more than I do? She would rather go to a hotel with a ride-hailing driver than accept you. Learn from me. I just want to sleep with her and then throw her away. I won’t think about dating her again, let alone marrying her.”

This was too explicit. After all, they were classmates. The most basic etiquette and face had to be given to Cao Ruoxue, right?

Cao Ruoxue: “Chen Kang, what nonsense are you talking about? Show some respect! What are you here for? We didn’t invite you!”

Chen Kang: “Respect? I want to respect you, but you don’t respect yourself! You’re even going after a ride-hailing driver. How thirsty are you? I’m not going to waste my breath on you. I can lend you 100 million in cash, with interest calculated at an annual rate of 10%. Is that generous enough? But you have to accompany me for a week and let me do whatever I want. Whatever position I want, you’ll be in that position. Whoever I want you to be with, you’ll be with.”

To put it bluntly, Chen Kang was now in a state of desperation and deliberate revenge. He didn’t get Cao Ruoxue’s “first time” and didn’t want his years of pursuit to be fruitless, so he now wanted to humiliate Cao Ruoxue severely and didn’t treat her like a human being at all.

Cao Ruoxue was furious and picked up the glass on the table and splashed it on Chen Kang’s face.

“Chen Kang! Watch your mouth! If you talk like that again, I’ll call the police!” Cao Ruoxue shouted angrily.

Yang Chen, who had been waiting anxiously outside the door, heard Cao Ruoxue’s roar and quickly knocked twice on the door. Then he pushed the door open and poked his head in, asking, “Miss Cao, what’s going on?”

Lin Wanyu: “Huh? Why are you here? He’s the ride-hailing driver who helped Ruoxue get back the payment from the Jianghuai Chamber of Commerce.”

Everyone looked at Yang Chen, and Chen Kang went berserk.

“Cao Ruoxue went to a hotel with you, right? You took her first time, right? Damn it, I’ve wanted her for so many years but couldn’t get her. You, a broken ride-hailing driver, just met her for less than a day and took her first blood [virginity]. Damn it!” Chen Kang said angrily.

First blood?

What the hell is all this?

I don’t understand at all.

Yang Chen quickly asked, “Brother, you’re drunk. You’re talking nonsense, right? Miss Cao and I are innocent. Don’t talk nonsense.”

Cao Ruoxue: “Brother Chen, I’m sorry. He’s drunk. Take this check and leave quickly. Thank you for helping me get back the payment from the Jianghuai Chamber of Commerce. Don’t worry, I promised to play the piano for you, and I will definitely do it. When I’m ready with 8 sets of clothes and 8 songs, I’ll call you immediately.”

Yang Chen didn’t want to get too involved in Cao Ruoxue’s affairs, so he took the check and left.

But!

Chen Kang, who was nine-tenths drunk, couldn’t let Yang Chen leave at this time. He immediately said to his lackeys, “Brothers, stop him! If we don’t make things clear today, no one can leave this private room! Cao Ruoxue, come on, tell everyone what it felt like to do it with this ride-hailing driver. Where am I, Chen Kang, worse than a ride-hailing driver? At the very least, you could have chosen Li Kang. We’ve been chasing you for so many years, but you didn’t even look at us. Now you’re going to a hotel with a ride-hailing driver you just met for a day and giving him your first blood. How cheap can you be?”

Cao Ruoxue was furious and stepped forward to slap Chen Kang.

Li Kang, the simp, wanted to stand up for Cao Ruoxue and immediately pointed at Chen Kang, saying, “Chen Kang, watch your mouth!”

Chen Kang was already furious. He looked down on Li Kang in the first place, but now Li Kang dared to point at him and warn him. How could he tolerate it?

Chen Kang stepped forward and kicked Li Kang to the ground.

Li Kang was in great pain, clutching his stomach and rolling back and forth on the ground several times.

Cao Ruoxue shouted, “Chen Kang! Don’t go too far! Wanyu, call the police!”

Lin Wanyu certainly didn’t want to offend Chen Kang, after all, he was an ATM.

“Ruoxue, don’t be anxious. Chen Kang, that’s enough. Why did you hit him? Come, come, I’ll toast you a glass to calm you down. We can talk things out. What can’t we say between classmates?” Lin Wanyu said with a smile, walking up to Chen Kang with a glass of wine.

Lin Wanyu had obviously overestimated her position in Chen Kang’s heart, and Chen Kang was already drunk and irrational. Now that he was angry, he had forgotten the cooperative relationship between them.

Chen Kang slapped the glass of wine out of Lin Wanyu’s hand, saying, “What the hell are you? What makes you think you can drink with me?”

Lin Wanyu stood there dumbfounded. She obviously didn’t expect Chen Kang to treat her like this.

Seeing her good friend being beaten, Cao Ruoxue quickly stepped forward to hug Lin Wanyu, saying, “Chen Kang, you’re going too far! None of us are leaving. Let’s go to the police station now!”

With that, Cao Ruoxue took out her phone to call the police.

Chen Kang immediately stepped forward to snatch Cao Ruoxue’s phone. During the struggle, Cao Ruoxue slapped Chen Kang in anger.

The slap silenced the entire private room.

Everyone looked at Chen Kang. Was he going to lose his temper?

Being slapped in public by a woman was a great humiliation for any man, even if it was a mother hitting her son, it was a great humiliation for the son, let alone that they were just classmates?

Lin Wanyu quickly said, “Oh, Ruoxue, what are you doing? How can you hit Chen Kang?”

Lin Wanyu stepped forward, pretending to comfort Chen Kang, and whispered, “Don’t make trouble. If you keep making trouble, we won’t be able to clean up the mess!”

Chen Kang pushed Lin Wanyu away. Because he used too much force, Lin Wanyu hit the wall hard, and she immediately covered the back of her head and squatted down, crying.

“We can’t clean up the mess! Then let’s not clean it up!” Chen Kang said angrily, and then he overturned the table.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the others quickly retreated and stayed away from Chen Kang.

Cao Ruoxue quickly ran over and squatted down to comfort Lin Wanyu, saying, “Wanyu, how are you? I’m sorry, I’ve implicated you!”

Chen Kang laughed and said, “You’re just a stupid woman! You treat her like a sister, but she doesn’t treat you like a sister. Let me tell you the truth, the reason why your family’s company is in so much trouble is actually because she and I planned it together. I knew every step of your self-rescue plan through her and cut off your path in advance.”

Lin Wanyu ignored the headache and quickly shouted, “Chen Kang, stop talking! No… don’t talk nonsense! You… you’re talking nonsense!”

Chen Kang laughed and said, “Listen, listen, she’s so scared that she’s incoherent. Cao Ruoxue, how does it feel to be betrayed by your good friend of many years? Can you share your feelings now? Haha…”

Cao Ruoxue looked at Lin Wanyu in shock. She didn’t want to believe what Chen Kang said because she felt that she and Lin Wanyu had been friends for so many years. She considered herself the best friend in the world, and Lin Wanyu couldn’t betray her.

Which friend would give designer bags, clothes, and cosmetics to her good friend?

Which friend would bring her friend along when going to a high-end restaurant? If she couldn’t bring her along, she would pack a portion and bring it back for her to eat?

If she was still betrayed after doing all this, is there any friendship in this world?
