How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 699

699. Is Cabbage Express Stealing Driver Business? How Can a Ride-Hailing Driver Make a Living?

The system chimed in with a notification.

“Congratulations, Host, for successfully preventing Liu Jun’s death, gaining 1 hour and 50 minutes of disposable lifespan. The current system storage has a disposable lifespan balance of 8 hours, 13 minutes, and 45 seconds.”

Great, I saved Liu Jun and gained disposable lifespan. Two birds, one stone.

Yang Chen hung up the phone, patted Liu Jun’s shoulder, and comforted him, “Brother, can you see things clearly now? How much does a ride-hailing driver like me earn in a month? Yet, I still manage to find so many girlfriends. You’re so competitive as a gaming *dailian* [professional gamer who levels up accounts for others]. Are you afraid you can’t find a girlfriend? The most important thing is that the one who truly belongs to you is still waiting for you to meet her. If you can’t pull yourself together, she’ll end up with someone she doesn’t love for the rest of her life. How tragic is that? You understand, right?”

Liu Jun nodded and said with a smile, “Brother, thank you. You and Liu Feifei are right. But, Brother, how did you meet Liu Feifei? She’s famously against marriage. Is it because she’s dating you?”

“Haha… that’s a long story. However, this also proves that you must dare to dream. Miracles happen every day. Why can’t they happen to you? You agree, don’t you?” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Liu Jun nodded, and after a wry smile, his face clouded over with worry again.

Yang Chen asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something else on your mind?”

Liu Jun nodded and said, “Now I don’t want to commit suicide anymore. I want to get back the 500,000 I transferred to her and make her pay the price. Brother, what do you think I should do to achieve these two goals?”

“Politely first, then forcefully. Talk to her first and see if she’s willing to return the money. If she’s willing to return the money, everything is negotiable. If she’s not willing to return the money, I’ll help you sort it out,” Yang Chen said.

Liu Jun asked suspiciously, “Brother, excuse me for being blunt. You’re just a ride-hailing driver. Why are you so awesome? It’s one thing to have so many girlfriends, but Liu Feifei is even your mistress. Now you’re saying you can help me sort it out. Are you sure this is the ability a ride-hailing driver should have?”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Yes, I am indeed a ride-hailing driver. Can that be fake? However, driving a ride-hailing car also allows me to meet some interesting people. They can be useful at critical moments. Just listen to me, and I guarantee I can help you.”

Liu Jun was skeptical, but he still sent a message to his girlfriend, Tang Zhu.

“Zhu Zhu, I can accept breaking up, but you must return the money I transferred to you before. If you return the money now, we’ll break up peacefully, and I promise not to bother you. If you don’t return it, you’ll face the consequences.”

Tang Zhu called Liu Jun a few seconds later.

Tang Zhu cursed, “Liu Jun, how come I didn’t realize you were this kind of person before? Are you even a man? Asking for something back after you’ve given it away? Is your promise just like a fart?”

Yang Chen clenched his fist to cheer Liu Jun on. Liu Jun nodded and immediately replied, “The money I transferred to you was intended for our marriage. Now, because you unilaterally broke up with me, the marriage is off. Of course, you have to return all the money to me.”

Tang Zhu sneered and said, “Don’t even dream about it. It’s impossible for me to transfer the money back. The money in my hands is mine. If you want it back, no way!”

After Tang Zhu finished speaking, she hung up the phone. Liu Jun looked at Yang Chen helplessly.

Yang Chen immediately comforted him, “Don’t worry, leave this to me. Since she doesn’t want to save face, then let her be discredited and socially dead, so she won’t be able to cheat money and feelings in the future.”

Liu Jun nodded and quickly asked, “Then what are you going to do?”

Yang Chen found the phone number of the CEO of Douyin [TikTok in China] and said with a smile, “Isn’t this a coincidence? The CEO of Douyin once rode in my car. He thought my service was good and I was handsome, so we exchanged numbers and he said to call him anytime if I needed him in the future. I thought I might never need his connections in my life, but look, now I can use them. I’ll give him a call and let him expose her on Douyin. It will immediately trigger a wave of public opinion, and that gold digger will definitely have a bad ending.”

Liu Jun: “…”

Liu Jun was completely stunned. He could understand every word Yang Chen said, but why did he always feel like something was off?

Just as Liu Jun was in a daze, Yang Chen had already finished the call.

“Liu Jun, come, add a WeChat account and send him screenshots of your chat history with that gold digger. We don’t need to worry about the rest. Douyin will take care of it and guarantee the effect will be very good,” Yang Chen said, showing Liu Jun a WeChat ID.

Liu Jun woke up, quickly opened his phone, added the WeChat account, and then sent all the chat records between him and Tang Zhu since they met, including the transfer records.

Then Liu Jun asked, “Brother, I’ve sent everything. What else do I need to do now?”

Yang Chen said with a smile, “You don’t need to do anything now. Just wait patiently for Douyin to make this event explode. However, I have to tell you a few things. No matter how Tang Zhu contacts you, you must refuse to respond. Don’t be soft-hearted, remember?”

Yang Chen was helping Liu Jun so much because Liu Jun had contributed two hours of disposable lifespan to him, and because they were both men. If he was still a simp, then his good intentions would be wasted.

Liu Jun quickly nodded and assured Yang Chen, “Okay, Brother, I remember.”

“Let’s go, I’ll take you back,” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Liu Jun nodded and quickly got into the car to go back with Yang Chen.

Yang Chen dropped Liu Jun off at the entrance of an old residential area and left after watching him walk in.

Sigh…

When will there be no more simps? I look forward to the day when all men awaken.

This place is not far from Zhuo Wenjun’s house. Yang Chen called her to ask if she was available tonight.

“Hey, Little Junjun, what are you doing?” Yang Chen asked with a smile.

Zhuo Wenjun immediately said coquettishly, “I’m thinking about a problem.”

Yang Chen laughed and asked, “Really? What are you thinking about? Have you figured it out yet?” “I’m thinking about how you can be so cruel, not coming to see me for so many days. I’ve been thinking about it all day and still can’t figure it out. If you don’t love me anymore, just say it. Ignoring me like this makes me feel a bit redundant,” Zhuo Wenjun said with a smile.

Yang Chen laughed and said, “You’ve been reading too many novels, haven’t you? You’re imitating Lin Daiyu’s [a famous character in Dream of the Red Chamber known for her sarcastic tone] sarcastic tone. I happen to be near your house. I’m going to see you now.”

“Really? Hehe… Brother, come quickly, I’m waiting for you,” Zhuo Wenjun said happily, but then she said, “My period came, so you have to be mentally prepared.”

Before Yang Chen could speak, Zhuo Wenjun said again, “But it doesn’t matter. There’s more than one path in life. Sometimes you can try a different path, and it might feel very different.”

Yang Chen: “…”

Sister Jun is such a good girl.

“Okay, I’m coming. It’s really boring to go down one path in life. It’s good to try a different path occasionally. I’ll go to your neighborhood entrance first. Find an excuse to come out, and I’ll take you to Prince Gong’s Mansion [a historical site often used as a euphemism for a romantic encounter] for the night,” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Zhuo Wenjun said happily, “Okay, wait for me. I’ll tell my friend and ask her to cover for me. Wait for me at the entrance of the neighborhood for a while, and I’ll come out to find you soon.”

“Okay. I’m going now, see you later,” Yang Chen replied.

Hanging up the phone, Yang Chen immediately drove straight to Yida Huafu residential area.

Yang Chen still kept a house here for himself, but he still wanted to take Zhuo Wenjun to Prince Gong’s Mansion for the night.

Soon, Zhuo Wenjun came. As soon as she got into the car, she hugged Yang Chen and started kissing him, and only let go after a while.

“Oh, that was great, I missed you so much,” Zhuo Wenjun said with a smile.

“Haha… really? How much did you miss me?” Yang Chen asked, stroking Zhuo Wenjun’s leg.

Zhuo Wenjun took the initiative to offer her leg to Yang Chen to touch, and replied with a smile, “I missed you very much, otherwise, why would I come out to see you even though my period hasn’t ended?”

“Haha… let’s go eat, I haven’t eaten yet. Only when I’m full will I have the strength to pour out my longing for you.”

Zhuo Wenjun nodded and said, “Okay, let’s go eat. Find a restaurant that has ingredients like oysters, deer *bian* [penis], tiger *bian*, etc. Eat more of these things. I’m afraid you won’t have enough physical strength to fully express our longing for each other.”

Yang Chen: “…”

This isn’t longing, it’s clearly wanting to risk my life.

“With my physical fitness, I don’t need those at all. Just eat something casually, eat early, and go back to rest early,” Yang Chen said with a smile.

“Don’t need to eat? Then let’s not eat first, let’s go back and satisfy my longing first, and then discuss what to eat,” Zhuo Wenjun said.

Yang Chen laughed and immediately took Zhuo Wenjun to the Wangfu to satisfy her longing.

After satisfying Zhuo Wenjun’s longing, Yang Chen took her out for a drive and had some late-night snacks to replenish energy.

The two didn’t go to high-end places. When they passed a roadside stall, they got out of the car to eat some barbecue and fried rice.

After eating for a while, suddenly a large number of ride-hailing cars and taxis came, gathering in a location with less traffic, blocking the lanes in all four directions.

Zhuo Wenjun said with a smile, “Wow, such a big scene, is the crew filming a movie?”

“I don’t think so, this place isn’t suitable for filming,” Yang Chen said.

After a while, some drivers came over to buy barbecue.

The boss was happy, tonight was destined to be a big night.

“Master, are you filming a movie? Why are so many cars gathered here?” the boss asked with a smile.

The drivers replied.

“What movie are we filming! We have something to do!”

“That’s right! We are providing feedback on some things, hoping to attract relevant attention.”

“Qian Du has launched a thousand Cabbage Express cars here. We need 20 yuan for the fare, but they only need 10 yuan. Customers have been snatched away by them, and we can’t get any customers. We have old people to support and young children to raise, and we rely on running three to five hundred a day to make a living. With them doing this, we can’t afford to live.”

“Cabbage Express must be stopped. They can’t compete with us ordinary people for this little bit of money.”
