How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 640

The Two Young Ladies, Can You Give Me a Kiss?

“Go and stop Mayor Luo right now to complain. Say that Yang Chen ordered Wang Nianming to beat you and your girlfriend. Make as much noise as possible. My friend will film the process, and I’ll spend money to promote it online later. This is a great opportunity to ruin Yang Chen’s reputation,” Cheng Yu said, sounding pleased with himself.

But while Cheng Yu was happy, Lin Chaoyang was far from it.

Doing so would undoubtedly enrage Yang Chen and Wang Nianming. The consequences were easily imaginable, and terrifying. The mere thought of Starlight Defense’s legendary assassinations, always disguised as accidents, was enough to scare Lin Chaoyang witless.

Lin Chaoyang: “President Cheng, I can’t do that! If I did, it would be suicide! Absolutely not.”

The reason Cheng Yu was pushing this was that their company had already been acquired by the Lion Fund, becoming a branch of the Lion Fund in Dragon Country [China]. Yang Chen was currently locked in a fierce battle with the Wall Street Alliance, spearheaded by the Lion Fund. Ruining Yang Chen’s reputation at this time would be a significant boon to the Wall Street Alliance.

Cheng Yu suspected Lin Chaoyang wouldn’t dare to go through with it. Frankly, even Cheng Yu himself was hesitant.

But!

There must be brave men under heavy rewards. Lin Chaoyang wouldn’t work for free, but what if the price was right?

Cheng Yu said with a disarming smile, “Chaoyang, don’t be so quick to refuse. Hear me out. This comes directly from Lion Fund headquarters. If you do as I say, your salary will increase by 50%. You’ll also get a one-week overseas trip every season – spring, summer, autumn, and winter – with paid leave and all expenses covered by the company. And doesn’t your girlfriend want to work here? I’ll personally see to it that she’s brought on as your assistant. The company will give her three years to prove herself. If she’s still unqualified after that, we’ll compensate her and let her go. What do you say?”

Lin Chaoyang would be a fool to agree.

Cheng Yu’s promises were all for the future. It was like offering a pie in the sky [an empty promise].

The company could easily find an excuse to fire him later. Did he really expect Cheng Yu to keep his word?

Lin Chaoyang: “President Cheng, your offer is tempting, but I can’t risk it. There’s a saying: you have to be alive to spend the money you earn. If I do this, Starlight Defense could make me disappear without a trace. Even if you gave me the company, I wouldn’t be around to enjoy it.”

Cheng Yu: “Don’t worry, headquarters will protect you! If Yang Chen dares to touch you, headquarters will stand up for you.”

Lin Chaoyang: “I’ll be dead! Even if headquarters stands up for me, will that bring me back to life?”

Cheng Yu was silenced. He knew the danger involved, and Lin Chaoyang’s fear was understandable.

However, this opportunity was unique, a direct order from headquarters. He had to seize it.

Cheng Yu immediately switched to threats. “Chaoyang, this is an order. If you refuse, the leaders at headquarters will be angry, and you could lose your job. You’ll lose a lot more than you think.”

“Even if I change jobs, I won’t risk my life,” Lin Chaoyang retorted angrily, hanging up the phone and muttering, “Damn it, they don’t treat me like a human being. Isn’t my life worth anything?”

Li Xinyue immediately asked, “What’s wrong? What happened?”

Lin Chaoyang, without thinking, told her everything his boss had asked him to do.

To his surprise, Li Xinyue’s eyes lit up, and she seemed immediately tempted.

“Why would you turn down such a good opportunity? If you make enough noise, Yang Chen won’t dare to touch you, no matter how powerful he is. If something happens to you, everyone will know he did it. Can’t he see that?” Li Xinyue said, sounding self-righteous.

Lin Chaoyang: “So what? Do you think our lives are worth as much as Yang Chen’s contributions to the country? Any one of his research achievements is worth more than ten thousand of you and me. Do you understand?”

Li Xinyue: “You’re such a coward! This opportunity is being handed to you, and you’re too afraid to take it! If you won’t, I will!”

Li Xinyue immediately turned and ran off, intending to complain publicly.

“You MMP [a vulgar expression of frustration]!” Lin Chaoyang cursed, chasing after her and grabbing her arm. “If you want to die, don’t drag me down! I don’t want to die!”

Li Xinyue: “You’re too scared, I’m not! Let go of me! Let go!”

Lin Chaoyang: “After today, you can do whatever you want! I can’t control you! But you can’t go crazy today and get me killed!”

Li Xinyue couldn’t break free. In desperation, she shouted, “Help! Murder! Help!”

Her shouts drew everyone’s attention. Yang Chen and the others stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.

Mayor Luo: “What’s going on? Go and see!”

Security personnel ran over and brought Lin Chaoyang and Li Xinyue over to them.

Cao Ruoxue was anxious, worried that Li Xinyue would say something she shouldn’t.

If she angered Yang Chen, and Yang Chen blamed the Cao family, it would be a disaster.

Seeing that he couldn’t stop Li Xinyue, Lin Chaoyang hurried to Mayor Luo, saying, “Sorry, Mayor Luo, we’re just a couple arguing. She scratched my face, so I fought back. Sorry, sorry, we’re disturbing everyone. It’s just a family matter, we can solve it ourselves, we don’t need to bother Mayor Luo to handle it.”

Lin Chaoyang tried to pull Li Xinyue away, but she loudly protested, “That’s not true! Yang Chen ordered Wang Nianming to beat us! Many people saw it. Wang Nianming tricked us away and had his bodyguards beat us up. Heavens, is there no law? Is there no justice? Can you just beat people in broad daylight if you have money? Wuwu…”

Lin Chaoyang pushed Li Xinyue, saying angrily, “What nonsense are you talking about? We’re just fighting, why are you framing others? Are you just jealous that you didn’t win against your bestie [best friend]? You can’t use this to deliberately smear people! Mayor Luo, I’m sorry. It’s like this: my girlfriend and Yang’s friend used to be neighbors. Women like to compare themselves, and we didn’t know he was Yang Chen just now, so my girlfriend showed off in front of Miss Cao. Later, we realized who he was and quickly left. I was angry because she almost offended Yang Chen for no reason, so we argued, and she scratched my face, and I fought back in anger. Now she’s trying to blame her injuries on Yang. Alas… I’m so unlucky to have such a girlfriend. My ancestors’ graves must be smoking [a metaphor for extreme misfortune]. I’ve made up my mind, I’m breaking up with her, and what she does in the future has nothing to do with me. I don’t want to be dragged down by her.”

“Haha…” Everyone laughed.

Li Xinyue quickly said, “That’s not true, that’s not true, he’s lying…”

Lin Chaoyang: “Okay! Can you stop talking? Aren’t you embarrassed enough? Let’s go, don’t delay Mayor Luo and the others from touring the park. What a disgrace!”

Lin Chaoyang dragged Li Xinyue away.

“Lin Chaoyang, you coward, you’re not a man!” Li Xinyue cursed angrily.

Lin Chaoyang: “Yes, yes, yes, I’m not a man. That’s why we’re breaking up now. You can do whatever you want, it has nothing to do with me. Goodbye!”

Lin Chaoyang pushed Li Xinyue away and ran to the parking lot.

Li Xinyue looked at Yang Chen, then at Lin Chaoyang, and then squatted on the ground, covering her face and crying.

She had only wanted to show off her boyfriend to her old neighbor, but instead she got beaten up, and her boyfriend dumped her. It was truly miserable.

The park was too large, and the important guests’ time was precious. They only strolled around briefly and ended the tour.

The park management arranged a luncheon to thank all the important guests. Yang Chen didn’t plan to attend, but he couldn’t refuse Mayor Luo and the others.

Since he was going, he might as well say goodbye to everyone. He would return to Hai City in the afternoon.

The tourists who had taken videos and photos of Yang Chen earlier edited them and posted them on Moments [WeChat’s social media feature] or Douyin [TikTok in China], hoping to cèng [cèng – to sponge off] some of Boss Yang’s traffic.

But when they all received platform system reminders that the photos or videos violated regulations, they realized why they couldn’t see Boss Yang online. All platforms had blocked his photos and videos.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, Yang Chen walked out of the hotel surrounded by the big shots.

Yang Chen: “Thank you very much for your hospitality. This trip to He City has been very successful, and I had a lot of fun. Goodbye, see you later! Farewell!”

Mayor Luo: “President Yang, you must come to He City often when you have time. This is your second hometown. You will always receive a warm welcome!”

Yang Chen: “Haha… Thank you, thank you. I will treat He City as my second hometown and will definitely come over when I have the opportunity.”

After all, he was going to invest 100 billion here, so Yang Chen definitely had to come over often to check on the investment.

Under everyone’s attention, Yang Chen drove away.

It was getting late, so Yang Chen went straight back to the hotel to pack his things and prepare to leave.

At the hotel room door, Liu Xueying and Cao Ruoxue were eyeing each other warily. Seeing Yang Chen return, they immediately put on smiling faces and greeted him.

Yang Chen: “Miss Liu, Miss Cao, what are you two doing here?”

Cao Ruoxue: “President Yang is back. Didn’t you say you were leaving? I wanted to see you off.”

Liu Xueying: “I’m here to see you off too. After all, we have a deep cooperative relationship.”

Deep cooperative relationship?

Cao Ruoxue’s face immediately soured.

“Do men like girls with exaggerated figures? Hmph! It’s just big breasts and big butts. I could train to be like that too, but I don’t think it looks good. What’s so great about it?” Cao Ruoxue thought to herself.

Yang Chen opened the door and said with a smile, “Thank you. I’ve been delayed in He City for too long, I really have to get back to Hai City.”

Liu Xueying: “Can I come to see you sometime?”

Yang Chen: “Yes. However, I probably won’t be staying in Hai City for long. I’ll be going to the capital soon.”

Cao Ruoxue: “I happen to want to go to the capital to see the national flag raising. I’ll call you when I’ve made arrangements. I’ll come find you in the capital. Okay?”

Yang Chen: “Okay! I’ll pack my things, you guys go sit down.”

Cao Ruoxue: “Let me help you pack.”

Liu Xueying: “I’ll do it. Miss Cao is a lady, she’s never done this kind of work. I’m a rough person, I’m better at it.”

Cao Ruoxue: “No, no, no, Miss Liu’s hands are for lifting weights, my hands are for doing work, I’ll do it.”

Liu Xueying: “I’ll do it!”

Cao Ruoxue: “I’ll do it!”

The two stood at the bedroom door, blocking each other, looking like they might start fighting.

Yang Chen quickly said, “Thank you both for your kindness, I’ll do it myself. You guys go sit down.”

Cao Ruoxue and Liu Xueying tried to maintain their composure, smiling and walking over to sit on the sofa.

While Yang Chen went into the room to pack, the two began a war of words.

Liu Xueying: “Miss Cao, why bother sticking around? A lady should have some reserve. Aren’t you afraid of embarrassing yourself?”

Cao Ruoxue: “I’m friends with President Yang, what’s wrong with me seeing off a friend? You, on the other hand, seem like you can’t wait to take off your clothes and beg President Yang to favor you. I’m just not reserved, but you don’t even care about basic dignity.”

Liu Xueying: “Hehe… I’m not giving up my dignity, but I have a deep cooperative relationship with President Yang, and you don’t. Some things don’t need to be said too bluntly, you know what I mean, right?”

Cao Ruoxue: “Hmph! Impossible! President Yang can’t be that tasteless!”

Liu Xueying: “Men, no matter what they say, no matter how serious they seem, they’re all the same when no one’s around.”

Cao Ruoxue gritted her teeth in anger, saying, “Despicable!”

Seeing Cao Ruoxue so angry, Liu Xueying felt a sense of accomplishment.

“Miss Cao, calm down, it’s not worth getting angry and ruining your health. Besides, what are you to President Yang? What does it matter to him if you get sick?” Liu Xueying deliberately mocked.

The battle ended with Cao Ruoxue’s defeat. Cao Ruoxue turned her head away in anger, ignoring Liu Xueying.

Liu Xueying straightened her back in the posture of a victor, her chest even more prominent.

Before long, Yang Chen packed his things and came out with his bag.

Cao Ruoxue and Liu Xueying quickly stood up with smiles, as if their confrontation had never happened.

Yang Chen: “Ladies, I have to go. When you have time, come to the capital to find me. I’ll invite you to visit my new home.”

Cao Ruoxue: “Okay, okay. President Yang, where is your new home? I’ll go directly to find you then.”

Yang Chen: “Prince Gong’s Mansion!”

Liu Xueying: “Ah? Prince Gong’s Mansion? Oh… Prince Gong’s Mansion suddenly closed to the public at the beginning of last year, so you bought it. My God, how much did that cost?”

Cao Ruoxue: “Does President Yang need to spend money to buy Prince Gong’s Mansion? It must have been given to him. This kind of palace can’t be bought and sold, it can only be gifted.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… Miss Cao is right, it was indeed given to me by the country. I had someone renovate it and ventilate it for eight or nine months, so it’s safe to move in. That’s all I’ll say, ladies, goodbye!”

Cao Ruoxue: “I’ll see you off.”

Liu Xueying: “I’ll see you off too.”

The two accompanied Yang Chen on either side, following him to the front desk to check out and leave.

The three came to Yang Chen’s car. Yang Chen said with a smile, “Before I leave, can I ask a favor of the two ladies?”

Cao Ruoxue: “Yes, President Yang, please ask.”

Liu Xueying: “With our relationship, you can ask anything. I will definitely do it.”

Yang Chen: “Then I won’t be shy. Can the two ladies give me a kiss?”

Cao Ruoxue and Liu Xueying exchanged glances, and then rushed to hug Yang Chen and kiss him.

The people driving by were dumbfounded. Was the world so crazy? Was a ride-hailing driver so popular?

A car owner driving a Mercedes-Benz GLE looked at the older single woman beside him and thought, “Damn, where did I go wrong?”

Two Porsche owners who had just parked their cars looked equally puzzled.

“Damn, a ride-hailing driver can pick up two such top-quality girls. What’s his secret? Damn it, I feel insulted. A broken JAC car is吊打 (diào dǎ – slang, to utterly defeat) my Panamera.”

Yang Chen happily got into the car, waved goodbye to Cao Ruoxue and Liu Xueying, and drove away.

The two rich and beautiful women glared at each other, and then got into their respective cars.

Liu Xueying drove her Bentley, and Cao Ruoxue’s driver drove a Maybach, leaving under the stunned gaze of a dozen or so big shots.

The fact that two extremely beautiful women were fighting over a ride-hailing driver had already made them feel inadequate, and now that they knew that the two beauties were also from wealthy families, they felt even worse.

“Damn, this is more painful than death. Two rich and beautiful women are fighting over a ride-hailing driver. Is he too well-endowed, or does he just last longer? Where did I lose?”

“Damn! I could accept not being able to find a girl if I was driving a garbage truck, but I’m driving a Mercedes! I feel so cheated!”

“The thought of having to sleep with a yellow-faced woman later makes me sick.”

…

It takes about 6 hours to get from He City to Hai City. Yang Chen wanted to go back and have dinner with Yu Shishi and Xue Yinong, so he was trying to drive as quickly as possible.

Perhaps because there were many tourists leaving Luogang Park, the road became congested near the highway.

Yang Chen always prioritized safety when driving and would never try to cut in line.

However, some people drive without any consideration for others. The small safety distance that others leave becomes their opportunity to cut in line without a second thought.

After a while, a car cut in front, and Yang Chen had to leave enough space for it to complete the lane change.

Then, an SUV cut in again, with only the front of the car over the line, and the rear still in the original lane. Yang Chen, wanting to be considerate and avoid danger, gave way to the SUV again.

But this couldn’t continue. It was frustrating to have people constantly cutting in line.

Therefore, Yang Chen decided not to let anyone else cut in. As long as there was a gap in front, he would move up, leaving no room for anyone to merge.

As he approached the highway entrance, a 特斯拉毛豆S (Tèsīlā máodòu S – Tesla Model S, 毛豆 (máodòu) literally means edamame, often used as a cute nickname for the car) tried to cut in line. Yang Chen naturally wouldn’t allow it and immediately edged forward.

The Model S owner was annoyed. Several beat-up cars had cut in front of Yang Chen’s car, so why wouldn’t he let his Tesla Model S merge?

Was he looking down on his Tesla Model S, or was he looking down on him?

The Model S owner immediately shouted, “Damn, what’s your problem? Why won’t you let me in?”

Yang Chen glared at him and ignored him.

At that moment, the car in front moved, and Yang Chen followed, successfully entering the highway.

The Model S owner was furious, saying, “Damn it, if I don’t teach you a lesson, I’ll change my name!”
