The black guy asked with a puzzled look, “Are you Yang, the boss of Starlight Corporation? The one who’s taking on Wall Street?”
Yang Chen nodded.
The black guy immediately burst into laughter, saying, “Are you kidding me? A big shot like Yang, the boss of Starlight Corporation, driving a ride-hailing car? Do you know how much someone at his level earns in a day? How much money would he lose driving a ride-hailing car? You people are so ignorant. Your social status determines your lack of understanding. You can’t even lie properly, what a waste. I’ve already taken a picture of your license plate. I’ll definitely teach you a lesson!”
The black guy walked to the roadside, hailed a taxi, and left in a huff.
“Damn it, you old black guy, you deserve to be ‘biubiu’ [shot] by the old whites. You’re hated everywhere, disgusting,” Yang Chen couldn’t help but curse.
Yang Chen adjusted his mood and continued to accept ride requests.
Whether it was good luck or bad luck, his second order was a couple. As soon as they got in the car, they looked out the windows on either side, looking like they had just had an argument.
Yang Chen sped up, hoping to get them to their destination as soon as possible, to prevent them from losing their tempers and arguing or even fighting in the car.
Just as they were about to reach their destination, the male passenger turned his head and shouted, “Have you thought about it or not? What do you want to eat?”
Damn, so these two were arguing about what to eat?
The female passenger didn’t even turn her head, saying, “I don’t want to eat!”
The male passenger reached his limit, slapped her in the mouth, and cursed, “You try yelling at me again!”
The female passenger was obviously not one to back down. She turned around and started scratching and clawing at the male passenger’s face. This completely enraged the male passenger. He clamped the female passenger’s neck with his left arm and kept punching her with his right hand, making her scream.
Yang Chen quickly reminded them, “Hey, hey, talk it out, don’t fight! I have a camera in my car. If you do this, I’ll have to call the police. There’s so much traffic now, don’t affect my driving. If something goes wrong, all three of us will have to treat our relatives and friends to a feast [pay for their funerals].”
The male passenger was already angry. He couldn’t stand a ride-hailing driver interjecting. He felt his dignity was offended.
“You just drive your car, shut up! What right does a ride-hailing driver have to judge me? I earn more in a day than you earn in a year! Understand?” the male passenger roared, then continued to punch the female passenger, who was still being choked.
“Ah! Ah! Help! Let me go! Let go!” the female passenger wailed, kicking her legs trying to break free from the male passenger’s arm.
However, the female passenger couldn’t break free from the male passenger’s arm. No matter how hard she struggled, the male passenger’s arm held her neck tightly. The more she struggled unsuccessfully, the harder she kicked the back of Yang Chen’s seat, affecting his driving.
Yang Chen quickly turned on his hazard lights to warn the cars behind him not to get too close, and then quickly changed lanes and pulled over.
The male passenger immediately roared, “What are you doing? Who told you to stop? Drive! We’re not there yet!”
Yang Chen: “Sir, you are seriously affecting my driving. I can’t be responsible for any of us if I keep driving. If you want to fight, get out and fight. I’m ending the order now.”
The male passenger: “End what order? I haven’t reached my destination yet, not even a meter short! Drive now, or I’ll slap you!”
Yang Chen unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, and stood on the sidewalk watching the couple’s performance.
The male passenger was furious. He punched the female passenger hard in the stomach, then angrily opened the door, got out of the car, and charged towards Yang Chen, pointing at him.
“Are you f**king looking for death?” the male passenger roared.
The female passenger was clutching her stomach in pain from his last punch, rolling around and wailing in the back seat. However, he didn’t seem to care about the female passenger’s well-being at all, only having eyes for Yang Chen.
Just as the male passenger was about to reach Yang Chen, two large hands grabbed his shoulders from behind and pinned him to the ground in front of Yang Chen.
The male passenger roared, “Who are you people? What do you want?”
Yang Chen: “You two keep fighting, just don’t bother me. Let him go.”
The bodyguards released the male passenger, and he immediately got up and took a few steps back.
After thinking for a few seconds, the male passenger understood, saying, “You’re a ride-hailing driver with bodyguards?”
Yang Chen: “Is that not allowed? Your wife is rolling around in the car. You hit her pretty hard. What deep hatred do you have for her to hit her so hard?”
The male passenger turned to look at his wife in the car, quickly ran over, and asked, “Honey, how are you? I’m sorry, I was a little impulsive just now. It’s all this damn driver’s fault. He made me angry by stopping the car. We were just bickering, we were in control. You know I wouldn’t hit you so hard.”
The female passenger cried and said, “It hurts so much, it hurts so much… Waa…”
The male passenger pretended to shed a few tears on his wife’s face, and then a miracle happened. His wife actually hugged him with a look of heartache, saying, “Don’t cry, don’t cry, I’m okay, I’m okay.”
Yang Chen and the bodyguards were dumbfounded. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and shock.
Bodyguard 1: “As expected, every horse is matched with a saddle [everyone has someone who suits them].”
Bodyguard 2: “Every pot is matched with a lid [there’s someone for everyone].”
Bodyguard 3: “What… Damn, you two said everything, I don’t know what to say to express this meaning.”
“Haha…” The men laughed.
The couple heard Yang Chen and the others laughing at them, so they quickly got out of the car to reason with them.
The female passenger: “What do you mean by this, driver? Isn’t it normal for couples to bicker? Why did you interrupt and stop the car, delaying our time?”
The male passenger: “It’s incomprehensible that a ride-hailing driver even has bodyguards.”
The female passenger: “Are you a rich second generation [spoiled rich kid] experiencing life? But no matter who your dad is, it’s wrong to interrupt a couple’s flirting. As a ride-hailing driver, it’s even more wrong to stop the car without taking the passengers to their destination. Do you understand?”
Damn, Yang Chen wanted to give them a thumbs up to express his “admiration.” Like attracts like.
Yang Chen naturally disdained to argue with such hooligans.
He got in the car and prepared to leave.
The couple naturally refused to let him leave and were about to block the car when the bodyguards stopped them.
Bodyguard: “You better not cause yourselves any more trouble!”
The female passenger: “What? You want to hit someone? Come on, hit me and see. I want to see which rich second generation is so arrogant that they dare to have their bodyguards beat people in the street!”
The bodyguards didn’t stand on ceremony and pushed the couple to the ground, then quickly got into the car and chased after Yang Chen.
The female passenger: “Ouch, they’re hitting people! Help! The ride-hailing driver’s bodyguards are hitting people! Is there no justice? They’re beating people in broad daylight!”
Passersby stopped to watch, asking if they needed help.
The female passenger: “The ride-hailing driver dropped the passengers off halfway and had his bodyguards beat them. Is there any justice?”
The onlookers immediately laughed.
“You’re exaggerating too much. A ride-hailing driver with bodyguards?”
“If he has bodyguards, why would he need to drive a ride-hailing car?”
“Haha…”
“Why don’t you say it was the delivery guy’s guards who beat you up?”
…
The male passenger immediately roared, “It’s really the ride-hailing driver’s bodyguards, we’re not lying to you!”
Everyone laughed mockingly and left, not believing their words.
The female passenger: “They don’t seem to believe us.”
The male passenger: “If I were them, I wouldn’t believe it either. No ride-hailing driver carries bodyguards with them!”
The female passenger: “Hmph! If he doesn’t take us to our destination, we can give him a bad review and call to complain. We can definitely complain successfully. It’s just… will he retaliate against us afterward?”
The male passenger: “Damn! What are you afraid of? Can he find us? We must give him a bad review and complain, or I won’t be able to get rid of the anger in my heart.”
The female passenger nodded and quickly rated and reviewed Yang Chen.
“This garbage driver ruined our couple’s flirting, and he kicked us out of the car before we reached our destination. He even had his bodyguards beat us. Everyone, be careful, don’t ride in this driver’s car, or he’ll have his bodyguards beat you if he’s unhappy.”
After giving the bad review, she immediately called customer service to complain that Yang Chen kicked them out of the car before reaching their destination.
Customer service was already experienced. All the passengers who gave Yang Chen bad reviews and complaints were being unreasonable. Yang Chen had never made a mistake worth complaining about or giving a bad review.
So, customer service just perfunctorily responded to the female passenger a few times and hung up.
The female passenger: “This garbage platform, is this their attitude towards handling problems?”
The male passenger: “Damn, I’ll uninstall it after I use up the coupons, what a piece of junk!”
On the other side, Yang Chen didn’t plan to take any more orders, but the system kept sending reminders.
“Congratulations to the host for receiving a bad review. The system rewards the host with 10% equity in Walt Disney. The reward takes effect immediately, and the equity certificate and other materials will be delivered to the Lakeside Island Villa by a courier.”
“Detected that the host has been complained about, triggering a system critical reward. The host’s equity in Walt Disney is increased to 20%. The reward takes effect immediately, and the equity certificate and other materials will be delivered to the Lakeside Island Villa by a courier.”
Well, not a bad haul today.
Yang Chen happily whistled and went home to wait for the courier to deliver the goods.
Yu Shishi went out to run errands, and Yang Chen was bored, so he took his fishing gear out to fish to pass the time.
March is the time when birds sing and flowers bloom, really suitable for outdoor activities.
Not long after, the courier delivered the goods.
Yang Chen opened the package and looked at it. They were indeed equity certificates and other materials from the Walt Disney Group.
From now on, Yang Chen is the second largest shareholder of the Walt Disney Group. Shouldn’t he reward himself by going to the Shanghai Disneyland to play?
Yang Chen put away his fishing gear and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Tang Xia called.
Tang Xia: “Hey, honey, what are you doing? Are you still in Shanghai? I have a day off today, take me out to play.”
Tang Xia is a very busy person now. With the help of Yang Chen’s social connections, Tang’s Group has grown bigger and bigger in the mining industry. Oil mines, metal mines, coal mines, etc., are all doing very well. The company not only mines but also produces, processes, and exports.
In addition, Tang’s Group originally had businesses in real estate and related industries, and the group’s valuation has reached 60 billion [currency unspecified, likely Chinese Yuan].
Because Tang’s Group is 100% controlled by Tang Xia alone, her wealth now has a tendency to exceed Xue Yinong’s.
However, Xue Yinong’s wealth belongs only to her, while Tang Xia’s wealth has to be distributed to other members of the family to ensure their lives. This is the difference between the two.
Yang Chen: “Wow, you busy person, it’s really rare to have time. Let’s go, I’ll take you to Disneyland to play.”
Tang Xia: “Hee hee… Okay! Then come pick me up at the company, I don’t want to drive myself.”
Yang Chen: “Okay, I’ll go now, wait for me!”
Tang Xia and Xue Yinong are competing for the position of the richest woman in Shanghai, even the richest woman in Dragon Country [China]. It’s exciting to think about it. They are all Yang Chen’s people.
Yang Chen quickly drove to Tang’s Group, and Tang Xia was waiting at the door.
“Honey, you’re here! Hee hee…” Tang Xia said happily, quickly got into the passenger seat, and hugged and kissed Yang Chen as soon as she got in the car.
It had been a long time since they had seen each other, and a kiss relieved their longing.
“Let’s go! Let’s go!” Tang Xia said happily.
Yang Chen started the car and said with a smile, “It’s about time to train a few capable assistants. Let them do some of the business. Don’t do everything yourself. As the company grows bigger and bigger, you’ll get busier and busier. If you work yourself to death, I’ll have to cry to death.”
Tang Xia: “Haha… Really? That’s good too, we’ll be a pair of doomed lovers.”
Yang Chen: “We’ve worked so hard for so long, we haven’t really enjoyed life yet, how can we be doomed lovers now?”
Tang Xia: “Then wait a little longer. Honey, what skincare products do you use? How come I feel like you haven’t changed at all in the past few years? I already have forehead wrinkles. If I get old in the future and you’re still so young, will you dislike me?”
Yang Chen: “No! Even if I still look young, my body won’t be able to perform anymore, what’s there to dislike?”
Tang Xia: “Haha… That’s true.”
However, Tang Xia’s words reminded Yang Chen.
Yang Chen has a system, which can always keep his body in peak condition.
But his girlfriends don’t have a system, their bodies don’t have this ability.
Now everyone is relatively young, and you can’t see much of a difference.
If in ten years, Yang Chen is still like this, and his girlfriends are in their thirties and forties, they will obviously get old, which would be so sad.
Yang Chen: “I’ll have the life science team research a youth drug to slow down human aging as much as possible, so we can stay young longer.”
Tang Xia: “When the drug is developed, you must give it to me first, the sooner the younger. I don’t want people to say I’m the mother and you’re the son when we walk on the street one day.”
Yang Chen: “Haha… It’s not that exaggerated!”
Tang Xia: “I think it’s possible, you really haven’t changed at all in the past few years, you’re still so tender and juicy.”
Yang Chen: “I admit I’m tender, but how do you know I’m juicy?”
Tang Xia: “How could I not know if you’re juicy or not?”
The two looked at each other and then laughed together.
“Haha…”
That’s how tacit lovers are, they know what the other person means with just one look, and what they’re thinking.
Amidst the laughter of the two, they arrived at Disneyland.
Yang Chen parked the car and took Tang Xia to buy tickets.
Coincidentally, Chen Yifeng and Song Yiming’s bosses, Li Kaile and Gao Yuncheng, were walking over with a foreigner, chatting and laughing. Behind the foreigner was a black man, who was none other than the black passenger who had threatened Yang Chen before. The two sides ran into each other.
Gao Yuncheng immediately said to the foreigner next to him, “Mr. Roberts, he is Yang Chen.”
The black guy next to him immediately pointed at Yang Chen excitedly and said, “Mr. Roberts, it’s him, he deliberately humiliated me and forced the police to make me apologize to him. It’s a great shame! I hope Mr. Roberts will stand up for me.”
Herbert Roberts raised his proud head, looked down at Yang Chen, and said, “Are you Yang Chen, the boss of the Starlight Corporation?”
Yang Chen: “I am. What’s your name? What’s your background?”
Gao Yuncheng immediately introduced, “This is the US President of the Shanghai Disneyland Resort Company. We are good friends. He heard that I was in trouble and specially invited me out to chat and see if he could help me.”
This was obviously a threat to Yang Chen. Yang Chen gave Gao Yuncheng a ‘hehe’ [a dismissive laugh] and let him figure it out.
Herbert Roberts: “Listen, I don’t want to make things difficult for you, but you bullied my friends and assistants, so I have to ask you to apologize to them. You are Yang Chen, the boss of the Starlight Corporation, maybe very powerful, but compared to Walt Disney, you are nothing. We are a global company, and your Starlight Corporation can’t even get out of Dragon Country [China]. You understand what I mean, right?”
Yang Chen: “I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business. Looking at your age, you should just work steadily until retirement.”
Herbert Roberts: “I have to take care of it, you have to apologize to them!”
Yang Chen: “Apologize my ass, apologize, apologize. What right do you have to order me to do things? Since you’re asking for trouble, don’t blame others. Wait, you’ll be fired and transferred back to headquarters tonight!”
After speaking, Yang Chen put his arm around Tang Xia and left.
The black guy wanted to block Yang Chen’s way, but the bodyguards rushed up and pushed the black guy away.
The black guy was still so grumpy: “What the f**k are you doing?”
Bodyguard: “Shut your stinky mouth! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll send you to the hospital! You dead black devil, I’m annoyed just looking at you.”
Herbert Roberts: “Hey! Hey! What did you just say? Did you just use the word ‘nigger’? This is racial discrimination, you must apologize, otherwise don’t think about leaving here today! Security, security, come and grab them!”
Roberts often comes to Disneyland alone or with others, and the security guards here know that he is the US President of Disney.
So, at his command, the security guards immediately ran over and surrounded Yang Chen and others.
Gao Yuncheng and Li Kaile looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
It seems that the gift of one million [currency unspecified, likely Chinese Yuan] was not in vain, Roberts is really going for it.
