How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 631

The Dog-Carrying Passenger Brings People to Intercept Yang Chen—What’s Wrong With a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?

Liu Xueying was a little dazed and said慌忙 [huāng máng – flustered], “I’m a bit懵 [měng – confused], let me take a moment.”

Yang Chen: “It’s okay, you have plenty of time to consider it carefully. Currently, this project is just an idea and hasn’t really been put into action yet.”

Liu Xueying: “So, in your eyes, am I the best of women?”

Yang Chen: “Haha… you could say that.”

Liu Xueying: “So, am I the most top-notch woman you’ve ever met?”

Yang Chen: “That’s not true either. I have more than a dozen girlfriends as top-notch as you.”

Liu Xueying: “…”

If someone else said this, Liu Xueying would definitely take it as a joke.

But when Yang Chen said it, she had no doubt.

After all, with Yang Chen’s wealth, status, and looks, it would be reasonable for him to want as many women as he wanted, and those girls would even take the initiative to approach him.

Liu Xueying pouted and said, “Then why don’t you let them be models?”

Yang Chen: “Are you kidding me? Which man could be so generous?”

Liu Xueying: “Oh, so because I’m not your girlfriend, you’re willing to make robots in my image for those臭men [chòu men – stinky men] to嘿嘿哈哈 [hēi hēi hā hā – giggle and laugh lewdly]?”

Yang Chen: “I’ll compensate you, didn’t I let you make any request? Of course, you can also refuse, which won’t affect my investment plan for your company.”

Liu Xueying thought carefully and finally felt that she should seize this opportunity, as it might be a chance to change her destiny.

As a girl, most of what her family has will be left to her younger brother. Now she can live a life of luxury, but it will be difficult to ask her parents for money like this after she gets married, especially after her brother marries a wife, she will be a guest.

So she should think carefully about the future, at least get a career of her own to ensure that her future quality of life will not decline.

“I want to cooperate with Bulgari to launch my own jewelry brand. Can you help me with that?” Liu Xueying asked with a smile.

Yang Chen: “Just this one request?”

Liu Xueying: “Yes! Can you fulfill it?”

Yang Chen: “What’s the name of your jewelry brand?”

Liu Xueying: “Shirleying, but there’s only a small store now, nothing else.”

Yang Chen: “No problem, the things from those luxury brands are not necessarily better than ordinary brands anyway. I can fulfill this request for you.”

Liu Xueying: “Really? How will you facilitate my cooperation with Bulgari?”

Yang Chen: “I have shares in the LVMH Group, which controls Bulgari. I still have the influence to get Bulgari to cooperate with you, so you can rest assured.”

Liu Xueying: “Wow, you’re really amazing, you even have shares in LV. Okay! Then it’s settled, you’ll connect me with Bulgari, and I’ll be your simulated robot model.”

Yang Chen immediately picked up his water glass and said, “Deal!”

The two happily finished dinner and walked out of the private room together.

It was a coincidence that the 松下 [Sōngxià – Panasonic] Investment group also came out at this time.

松下晋三 [Sōngxià Jìnsān – Panasonic Jinzo] looked at Yang Chen with a helpless expression, then lowered his head and prepared to leave.

Yang Chen: “Mr. 松下 [Sōngxià – Panasonic], did you call back to consult? How are you planning to deal with me now?”

松下晋三 [Sōngxià Jìnsān – Panasonic Jinzo]: “Mr. Yang has good methods. I have to say I really admire you for being able to acquire shares in 三菱 [Sānlíng – Mitsubishi] Heavy Industries. However, let’s wait and see. I believe that no one can always have smooth sailing, and there will always be a time when your luck runs out.”

That was a sour thing to say, blaming others’ good luck when you can’t beat them.

Good luck is good luck, being able to have such good luck all the time is also a skill.

Yang Chen: “Okay, I hope you can live until my luck runs out. Haha…”

Yang Chen 招呼 [zhāohū – beckoned] Liu Xueying to leave, and 松下晋三 [Sōngxià Jìnsān – Panasonic Jinzo] and others muttered in dissatisfaction.

“It’s really too arrogant. When has the dignified 松下 [Sōngxià – Panasonic] Group ever suffered such humiliation?”

“I really don’t understand what those shareholders of 三菱 [Sānlíng – Mitsubishi] Heavy Industries are thinking. How can they just sell the shares of such an important company to a Dragon Country [referring to China] person? What’s the difference between this kind of behavior and treason? They should all be brought to a military court for trial!”

“The law allows for equity transactions. If we prevent Dragon Country [referring to China] people from acquiring shares in our country’s companies, what if Dragon Country [referring to China] people also prevent us from acquiring shares in Dragon Country’s [referring to China] companies? So I think we shouldn’t think too much about it. As a multinational company, the worst thing is to politicize normal economic exchanges between the two countries, the consequences will be very serious.”

“I understand the 道理 [dàolǐ – principle], but I’m just very unwilling. For so many years, we’ve been able to manipulate Dragon Country’s [referring to China] companies at will. As long as we speak, Dragon Country [referring to China] will rush to cooperate with us. Yang Chen’s appearance has disrupted this harmonious and orderly economic order. He really deserves to die!”

…

At the entrance, a couple was entangled.

Man: “Baby, come sit at my place for a while.”

Girl: “No, it’s too late, it’s not convenient.”

Man: “My cat can do backflips, don’t you want to see it?”

Girl: “Really? Then go home and send me a video to see.”

Man: “My home isn’t far from here, wouldn’t it be better for you to see it with your own eyes? A video isn’t as real as seeing it in person.”

Girl: “Then another day, I’m a little sleepy today and want to go home and sleep early.”

Man: “Then a hug.”

Girl: “No, there are so many people.”

At this time, Yang Chen came out with Liu Xueying.

Yang Chen: “Should I take you home?”

Liu Xueying: “It’s still early, I don’t want to go home. I feel a little cold, let’s go sit at your place for a while.”

Yang Chen smiled and said, “Don’t! If a top-notch girl like you is alone with me, I’m afraid I’ll make a mistake.”

Liu Xueying: “I don’t believe you’re so lacking in self-control.”

It must be said that Yang Chen’s self-control is indeed good now. He can resolutely refuse many girls who take the initiative to approach him.

However, Liu Xueying’s figure is too good, it might be an exception.

Yang Chen: “I don’t even believe in my self-control, do you believe it?”

Liu Xueying didn’t seem to be afraid of Yang Chen doing anything to her, and said, “I believe in your character. Let’s go, let’s go sit at your place for a while.”

Yang Chen: “Okay, then let’s sit for a while. I’ll go get the car, you wait here.”

Not long after, Yang Chen drove over in his ride-hailing car.

The man holding his girlfriend looked puzzled, thinking, “Where the hell did I lose? Why can a ride-hailing driver泡 [pào – to pick up/seduce] such a top-notch girlfriend, but I can’t? The key is that his girlfriend is finding all sorts of reasons to go to his house, but I’m here for what reason can’t I take her home no matter how hard I try? Am I, a big boss, less attractive than a ride-hailing driver?”

The man became more and more angry, and said, “Let’s break up! You don’t love me at all! Look at how other people’s girlfriends do things, they try to find excuses to go to their boyfriend’s house to give them opportunities. In order to take you home, I even said that my cat can do backflips, but you still refuse to accept it. Break up! We must break up!”

Girl: “Then don’t you look at how handsome he is. If you were that handsome, I would also try to find excuses to give you opportunities like she does. It’s 下头 [xià tóu – a slang term meaning ‘cringey’ or ‘unattractive’] to be ugly and still want the same treatment as others!”

Man: “Yes! I’m 下头 [xià tóu – a slang term meaning ‘cringey’ or ‘unattractive’]! I’m 下头 [xià tóu – a slang term meaning ‘cringey’ or ‘unattractive’] but I won’t be like some people who only want benefits and don’t fulfill obligations! The first cup of milk tea in autumn, the first down jacket in winter, the first gold necklace in the new year, you just open your mouth and ask for it, and I give it all to you. And now you say I’m 下头 [xià tóu – a slang term meaning ‘cringey’ or ‘unattractive’]?”

“Are you trying to settle accounts with me? That’s really 下头 [xià tóu – a slang term meaning ‘cringey’ or ‘unattractive’]!” the girl said angrily, then turned and left.

Liu Xueying, who was on the side, couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Brother, you should have woken up a long time ago. Girls who keep dangling you without giving you any benefits don’t love you at all. If a girl really loves you, she can’t wait to be with you every moment. She’s just dangling you for benefits.”

The man said angrily, “I found out too late, I’ve already been 坑 [kēng – scammed] for hundreds of thousands. 靠 [kào – damn]!”

Liu Xueying: “Hurry up and get it back! Good luck. Haha…”

Liu Xueying quickly ran over to get in the car.

Yang Chen saw her laughing so happily and asked, “Other people showing affection makes you so happy.”

Liu Xueying: “What? That girl was dangling the guy, only wanting benefits but not giving the guy a chance to 揩油 [kāiyóu – to take advantage of someone, often sexually]. The guy woke up and didn’t want to be dangled anymore, so they broke up. Haha…”

Yang Chen: “You’re so happy that other people broke up, have some sympathy. It’s already very difficult for men these days, many men don’t even look for girlfriends anymore, that’s why I’m so anxious to make simulated human robots.”

Liu Xueying: “But what you make is, after all, a robot. It can only solve men’s physiological needs, but not the needs of procreation, emotional companionship, etc.”

Yang Chen: “Since they’re called simulated humans, they must have the abilities and characteristics that humans have, otherwise, why call them simulated human robots?”

Liu Xueying: “Are you serious? You’re going to add 生育 [shēngyù – reproductive] ability to robots? How is that possible?”

Yang Chen: “Could you have imagined a hundred years ago that civilization would develop to this level? It’s not that it can’t be achieved, it’s that you don’t even have the courage to think about it. If you can simulate the human 子宫 [zǐgōng – uterus] environment, put an egg in it in advance, and replenish the environment with nutrient solution regularly, it’s not impossible for a robot to 孕育 [yùnyù – conceive] a child. It’s just that the cost of giving birth to a child like this might be a little higher, but it’s still much cheaper compared to the hundreds of thousands of 彩礼 [cǎilǐ – bride price] and buying a car and house. The most important thing is that this can ensure that the child you 孕育 [yùnyù – conceive] is your own. You haven’t encountered the tragedy of the world, where someone has raised three children for 16 years and none of them are his own. If your relatives and friends encounter this situation, wouldn’t you want to 宰 [zǎi – slaughter] the woman?”

Liu Xueying: “Ah? There are people like that? 啧啧啧 [zé zé zé – tsk tsk tsk, an expression of disapproval or amazement]… Such women deserve to die.”

Yang Chen: “Also, about that couple just now, the man spent hundreds of thousands on the woman, but he couldn’t even get a hug. The key is that the man gave his feelings, money, and time, but in the woman’s heart, he’s not handsome, so she 否定 [fǒudìng – negates] him. If that guy had bought our robot, he wouldn’t have had to 遭遇 [zāoyù – encounter] this tragic thing.”

Liu Xueying: “The more you say it, the more I suddenly feel that your robot will definitely be a hit. Let me tell you, that girl is a common phenomenon among many girls now, asking men for gifts and money, but not admitting that they are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, dating one here and dangling one there, it’s too common. I have several girls like that in my 朋友圈 [péngyǒu quān – social circle]. But once your robot comes out, wouldn’t these women be unable to 混下去 [hùn xiàqù – survive/get by]? It might even be a problem for them to eat. They’ve all gotten used to living a life where they can just reach out and get money, and suddenly no one 舔 [tiǎn – lick, slang for ‘suck up to’] them anymore. If they want to maintain their current life, they can only sell their bodies. Then your robot is a disaster for these women.”

Liu Xueying’s analysis is correct. If Yang Chen’s envisioned simulated human robot can really succeed, these 下头 [xià tóu – a slang term meaning ‘cringey’ or ‘unattractive’] women will have no market. They will either lower their quality of life or have to take shortcuts to maintain a standard of living that doesn’t belong to them.

But this is not a problem that Yang Chen should consider and sympathize with. Everyone should be upright, and they have enjoyed so many years of special treatment. The emergence of this robot will only allow them to return to the normal life they should have.

Yang Chen: “Everyone should rely on their own abilities to make a living. This is what a fair and harmonious society should be like. What’s the point of exchanging a good life for selling your body? In essence, what’s the difference between those women who rely on having boyfriends or dangling 舔 [tiǎn – lick, slang for ‘suck up to’] dogs to maintain their lives and those who work as 小姐 [xiǎojiě – prostitute]? It’s just that working as 小姐 [xiǎojiě – prostitute] is illegal. Only when everyone relies on their own abilities to make a living can men and women truly achieve equality. There may be growing pains, but in the long run, it will help cultivate women’s qualities of living and working steadily.”

Liu Xueying shook her head and said, “According to my understanding of some women, when men really don’t 舔 [tiǎn – lick, slang for ‘suck up to’] them anymore, they will degenerate and exchange money, and they will never really rely on their own hands to work.”

Yang Chen: “If one generation can’t change, then two generations, at most three generations can change.”

Liu Xueying: “I hope it’s as you wish. Wow, I suddenly feel that the significance of your robot is simply 颠覆性的 [diānfù xìng de – subversive]. I look forward to it being made as soon as possible.”

Not long after, the two arrived at the Marriott Hotel room.

Yang Chen 招呼 [zhāohū – beckoned] Liu Xueying to make herself at home, and he wanted to open his computer to check emails.

Liu Xueying didn’t dare to disturb Yang Chen’s work, so she wandered around the room. Seeing a pile of clothes on the chair, she quickly picked them up to wash them.

After Yang Chen finished reading the emails, Liu Xueying was about to take down the clothes.

Yang Chen: “Wow, Miss Liu, you… I don’t know what to say. If you continue like this, I can’t bear to let you be a model.”

Liu Xueying: “嘻嘻 [xīxī – hee hee, giggle]… Really? I remember you said you have more than a dozen girls like me friends, but you’re not willing to let them be models. So now you don’t want me to be a model, does that mean you also want me to be your girlfriend?”

Yang Chen: “Haha… It’s not that exaggerated. To be honest, not to mention girlfriends, even ordinary friends, I don’t want to let her be a model. After all, this robot is developed to satisfy men… Haha… I won’t say it, I won’t say it. Thank you for helping me wash the clothes. Sit down, what would you like to drink?”

Liu Xueying: “No need, I’ll leave after sitting for a while.”

Yang Chen: “Then I won’t be polite, I want to drink a glass of water.”

Yang Chen poured a glass of water and was about to pick it up to drink when his bodyguard called him.

Bodyguard: “Mr. Yang, there are a few people lurking around your car, they should have some 企图 [qǐtú – intentions].”

Yang Chen: “Then you go talk to them and ask them what they want to do. Report back to me after you’ve found out.”

Bodyguard: “Okay.”

After a while, the bodyguard called to report that those people were waiting for friends and no problems had been found for the time being.

Since no problems were found, Yang Chen didn’t say anything.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Chen was about to take Liu Xueying home.

Liu Xueying still wanted to chat with Yang Chen for a while, but it was indeed a bit late now, so she had to get up and leave.

Yang Chen’s car had just driven not far when the bodyguard sent another message.

“Mr. Yang, something’s wrong, those people’s target is you, they’re following us in their car.”

At this time, throwing Liu Xueying down would be unsafe, so Yang Chen reminded her, “No matter what happens later, don’t get out of the car. My car has been modified, as long as you don’t get out of the car, you’ll be safe.”

Liu Xueying immediately became nervous and asked 慌忙 [huāng máng – flustered], “What’s wrong, what happened?”

Yang Chen: “There’s a car following me, I’ll stop and ask what’s going on when we get to a road with less traffic.”

Liu Xueying quickly turned to look behind and found an Audi Q3 closely following them.

“Call the police, it’s too dangerous for you to face them directly. You’re Mr. Yang, it would be a loss to the country if something happened to you,” Liu Xueying said.

Yang Chen: “There are bodyguards behind me, they’ll take action.”

Yang Chen stretched out his hand and made a gesture, and the bodyguards behind him understood. Two cars sandwiched the Audi Q3 that was closely following Yang Chen’s car and forced it to stop.

The bodyguards immediately got out of the car and knocked on the car window, signaling the people in the Audi Q3 to get out.

Liu Xueying: “I was wondering why you were so confident in your safety, so you’re carrying bodyguards.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… There are too many 奇葩 [qípā – oddball/weird] people these days, it’s not safe without bodyguards. Wait, they’ll handle it and come to report to me clearly.”

As soon as he finished speaking, screams came from behind.

Liu Xueying looked back and saw the bodyguards beating the Audi Q3 driver.

After a beating, the Audi driver confessed.

Not long after, the bodyguard ran over and said to Yang Chen, “Mr. Yang, I’ve found out, they were sent by Guan Lei, and they also said that Guan Lei is on his way and they will definitely teach you a lesson later.”

Yang Chen carefully recalled, but he didn’t recognize anyone named Guan Lei in his memory.

Yang Chen: “Pull all the cars to the side of the road and turn on the hazard lights, wait for Guan Lei to come.”

Bodyguard: “Okay!”

Three cars all pulled to the side of the road and turned on the hazard lights, waiting for Guan Lei to arrive.

Liu Xueying: “Mr. Yang, should we call the police?”

Yang Chen: “What’s the point of calling the police? If you want to solve the problem completely, both sides must have a good contest. If you call the police this time, they won’t be afraid of you and will find opportunities to provoke you. You might as well clean them up once and for all!”

Liu Xueying: “Only Mr. Yang has such 魄力 [pòlì – courage], even my dad wouldn’t dare to be so 横 [hèng – bossy/domineering]!”

Yang Chen: “Haha… If we have a happy cooperation, you can be so 横 [hèng – bossy/domineering] in the future too. If someone deliberately provokes you, just say my name if you can’t handle it.”

Liu Xueying: “In this case, it seems like there are many benefits to being your person. Seriously, won’t you seriously consider whether I can enter your fish pond? I feel like I’m really not bad, you can definitely show me off and I won’t embarrass you.”

Yang Chen: “If you enter my fish pond, then I’ll have to find a new model again.”

Liu Xueying: “Mr. Yang, not to criticize you, but is there something wrong with your way of thinking? You have such a top-notch girl in front of you, and all you can think about is needing to find a new model?”

Yang Chen: “Yes, otherwise?”

Liu Xueying gave Yang Chen a thumbs up and was speechless for a moment.

After a while, the roar of a sports car came from a distance.

In the blink of an eye, 10 sports cars such as Porsches, Lamborghinis, and Ferraris drove up to the front. A man and a woman got out of each car, and they walked over together after meeting up.

Yang Chen said with a smile, “They’re here, I’ll go down and take care of it. Don’t move in the car.”

Liu Xueying quickly grabbed Yang Chen’s arm and said, “Let the bodyguards handle it, you better not go out.”

Yang Chen: “It’s okay, I know what I’m doing.”

Yang Chen got out of the car and walked over. With the help of the streetlights, he saw two people he had met before, the man and woman who were drunk and wanted to take a ride with a dog but were rejected by Yang Chen.

Yang Chen understood that these two were not convinced and specially found him to retaliate.

The little lackeys who were controlled by the bodyguards ran over to their boss.

“Brother Hao, Brother Lei, he has bodyguards, we can’t beat his bodyguards, we were beaten by them.”

“Brother Hao, Brother Lei, you have to avenge us.”

“Yes, you have to avenge us, look at how they beat me, my teeth are all gone.”

…

Shi Hao: “踏马的 [Tà mǎ de – Damn it], a ride-hailing driver from out of town dares to be arrogant in 合城 [Héchéng – a city in China], and even brings bodyguards? I want to see what kind of 神仙 [shénxiān – immortal] driver is so 吊 [diào – awesome/cool]!”

The crowd immediately distributed sticks and other weapons and rushed up to surround Yang Chen and the bodyguards.

Shi Hao: “孙贼 [Sūn zéi – grandson, an insult], do you remember me?”

Yang Chen: “Who are you calling 孙子 [sūnzi – grandson, an insult]?”

Shi Hao: “I’m talking about you… Hey! Are you playing games with me? My name is Shi Hao, the marketing manager of 国风 [Guófēng – a brand name] Group, and my dad is the chairman, Shi Chunlai. Who are you, bringing bodyguards, you look very 牛逼 [niúbī – awesome/impressive].”

Shi Hao was arrogant, but he wasn’t brainless.

Before taking action, he first announced his family background and asked clearly who the other party was.

If the strengths of the two sides were similar, or the other party was stronger, he would not take action. If the opponent was too weak, he could take action with confidence.

Compared to other people who provoked Yang Chen, he was indeed more cautious and intelligent.

Yang Chen: “My name is Yang Chen, the boss of 星辰系 [Xīngchén xì – Star System, likely a company name].”

“Haha…” Everyone laughed.

Guan Lei, Shi Hao’s number one lackey, immediately said, “I 超 [chāo – I swear/damn], why don’t you say you’re Boss Ma?”

Yang Chen: “玛德 [Mǎdé – Damn it], if you don’t believe me, why bother asking?”

Shi Hao: “超 [chāo – I swear/damn]! You’re quite arrogant. I gave you a chance to announce your family background, but you can’t treat me like a fool! If you’re Boss Yang, then I’m Boss Yang’s dad.”

“Haha…” Everyone laughed.

The bodyguards had already clenched their fists, waiting for Yang Chen’s order to start fighting.

Shi Hao: “Like this, don’t say that I, a local snake, am bullying you, an outsider. As long as you apologize to me, my girlfriend, and our dog, and compensate me for medical expenses, I’ll let you go. This condition isn’t too much, right?”

Shi Hao’s girlfriend immediately pulled the dog forward a few steps and placed it in front of Yang Chen for him to apologize to.

Yang Chen: “You 踏马的 [Tà mǎ de – Damn it] are courting death, do you know that?”

Shi Hao: “I’ve given you the opportunity, don’t be shameless!”

Yang Chen: “Do it! Beat him until he kneels down to this dog and calls it dad!”

The bodyguards who had been 忍住 [rěnzhù – holding back] for a long time immediately took action. The difference between those who had trained and those who hadn’t was very obvious. The bodyguards even withstood their sticks and punched them one by one. As long as they were hit in the head by a fist, they would immediately lie down straight, without any chance of resistance or struggle.
