How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 86

“What a small world! Did you come in to use the restroom?” Chen Lijun said, holding his phone.

Yang Chen turned on the faucet to wash his hands. “Yeah, just needed the restroom. You too?”

“Yeah! Of course, I come here every day,” Chen Lijun replied with a smile, then sent a voice message. “Manager Li, get a few people to the restroom and block the corridor. Don’t let anyone in.”

Yang Chen dried his hands and asked with a smile, “What’s this about? Planning to make a move here?”

“Why not? I warned you that night I’d get my revenge. I was having trouble finding you, but I didn’t expect you to come to my uncle’s car dealership to use the restroom. What do they call that? Fate! Haha…” Chen Lijun laughed, pleased with himself.

At that moment, Manager Li arrived with a few employees and closed the corridor door leading to the restroom.

Seeing Yang Chen and Chen Lijun together, Manager Li quickly said with a smile, “Mr. Yang, you’re here too.”

Yang Chen nodded with a smile.

Chen Lijun quickly asked, “Manager Li, do you know him?”

Manager Li nodded quickly. “He is Mr. Yang Chen, the owner of the newly imported Bugatti Veyron.”

Chen Lijun was shocked and looked at Yang Chen in disbelief. “Are you sure? He’s just a ride-hailing driver. How could he afford a Bugatti Veyron that costs 50 million [currency unspecified, but implying a large sum] after everything?”

Manager Li was also confused. He’d assumed Yang Chen was some young master, not a ride-hailing driver.

However, he had seen the car owner information. The name was Yang Chen, and the ID number had been confirmed. There was no way the car owner information could be wrong.

So, the only explanation was that Yang Chen’s ride-hailing driver identity was just a cover.

“Young Master Jun, there’s no mistake. All the information has been checked. Maybe… he’s a young master from some family, out here for experience. Or something else. Anyway, the information is definitely correct,” Manager Li said firmly.

Chen Lijun immediately wilted.

Yang Chen, still not quite done drying his hands, deliberately wiped them on Chen Lijun’s chest. “Young Master Jun, still want to hit me? If not, I’m leaving.”

Chen Lijun looked at the water stains on his chest, anger rising. “Who exactly are you? How can a ride-hailing driver afford a Bugatti Veyron?”

“I have no obligation to explain myself to you. Manager Li, take me to see your boss,” Yang Chen said.

Manager Li nodded and quickly led Yang Chen to Chen Ziyao.

Chen Ziyao was chatting with a female customer.

Yang Chen walked in and saw that it was Li Lanxin.

Li Lanxin saw Yang Chen and quickly stood up excitedly.

Chen Ziyao was startled by her sudden movement.

“Mr. Yang, you’re here too,” Li Lanxin said with a smile.

Yang Chen waved his hand, smiling. “Aunt Lan, hello. You’re looking to buy a Bentley Continental?”

Li Lanxin nodded, a little embarrassed. “I’ve been serving the young lady [referring to her employer] for over 20 years and wanted to buy a car for myself to enjoy. Half my life is over, and if I don’t enjoy it now, I won’t get another chance.”

Yang Chen nodded. “Then you two talk first. Boss Chen, come find me later when you’re done.”

Li Lanxin quickly said, “If Mr. Yang has something to say to Boss Chen, you can say it now. I’m fine, I’ll wait. Come, Mr. Yang, please sit down.”

Yang Chen couldn’t refuse and was pulled down to sit next to Li Lanxin.

Manager Li quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words to Chen Ziyao, whose expression changed drastically.

Chen Ziyao quickly approached Yang Chen. “Mr. Yang, I’m really sorry. My nephew doesn’t know you, so there was a misunderstanding. I’ll call him over to apologize. Please don’t argue with a child.”

Yang Chen sneered. “A child? He’s not a child. He’s very arrogant. He even told the manager to bring people to block me in the restroom. What kind of child is so unreasonable? People who know him know he’s your nephew, Chen Zirong’s son. People who don’t know him would think he’s a thug.”

Li Lanxin quickly asked, “Mr. Yang is in trouble?”

“Boss Chen’s nephew, Chen Lijun, the president of Dachang Group’s inland region, Chen Zirong’s son, lost a race to me last time and has been holding a grudge. He had the manager bring people to block me in the restroom. Now, Director Chen is saying he’s just a child. Does he think I’m three years old?” Yang Chen replied.

Li Lanxin quickly said, “Boss Chen, Mr. Yang is a friend of my young lady. It’s not right for your nephew to treat him like this.”

Chen Ziyao was shocked. “Sister Lan, don’t be angry. I’ll call him over to apologize to Mr. Yang right now.”

Just then, Chen Lijun walked out.

Chen Ziyao immediately pointed at him and shouted, “Lijun, come here!”

Chen Lijun knew why his uncle was so angry and quickly walked over.

“Apologize to Mr. Yang! And don’t say anything stupid, or I’ll call your dad and let him deal with you,” Chen Ziyao said.

Chen Lijun glared at Yang Chen. “Who exactly are you? If you’re so great, tell me your name. If you’re better than me, I want to know how.”

“I don’t have a name. I’m just an ordinary ride-hailing driver,” Yang Chen replied truthfully.

Yang Chen wasn’t lying. He really didn’t have any special identity. His current job was a ride-hailing driver.

However, no one believed him.

Li Lanxin quickly whispered in Chen Ziyao’s ear, “He drives a Phaeton as a ride-hailing car, owns a Bugatti Veyron, and a villa worth over 400 million [currency unspecified, but implying a large sum]. The decorations in his villa are more expensive than the villa itself. Plus, he’s the second shareholder of Baoqing Restaurant and Peninsula Hotel. So, don’t say I didn’t warn you, this kind of person’s background must be extraordinary. The more you can’t find out, the more powerful they are. You should understand this. Our young lady is good friends with him, so handle it carefully.”

Chen Ziyao was shocked. He made a quick decision, stepped forward, and slapped Chen Lijun on the head. “Apologize to Mr. Yang immediately! In the future, you avoid him wherever he is. Understand?”

Chen Lijun was furious. “I’m your nephew! You’re not helping me, you’re helping him bully me. Get your priorities straight. Everything you have today is thanks to my dad. Don’t forget who you are!”

Chen Ziyao was furious and raised his hand to slap Chen Lijun again.

But he was only an uncle, after all, and shouldn’t hit him.

Chen Ziyao quickly called his younger brother Chen Zirong and told him what had happened.

Chen Zirong was also furious. “Brother, give him a good slap for me. If he complains, I’ll beat him to death when he gets home! He’s really out of control. How dare he talk to you like that!”

“I can’t. You know what your son’s like. If I slap him, he’ll fight back. Even if you punish him later, I’ll have already lost face. What’s the point? You talk to him yourself!” Chen Ziyao said helplessly, then handed the phone to Chen Lijun.

Chen Lijun reluctantly said hello.

Chen Zirong immediately scolded, “What the hell are you doing out there every day? I told you to learn how to do business, but you don’t. You have to go racing. Fine, but then you should win. If you can’t beat someone, you want to use the family’s power to get revenge. You need to know who you can and can’t afford to offend. You’re bringing trouble to the family. What’s wrong with you? And how many times have I told you to respect your uncle? Are you even listening to me? If you’re really useless, I’ll let your younger brother inherit everything, and you can just mess around for the rest of your life.”

Chen Lijun’s younger brother was only 5 years old, born to his father and stepmother.

If Chen Zirong really gave everything to his youngest son, Chen Lijun would be ruined.

Chen Lijun depended on his father for everything, and if the family property fell into his younger brother’s hands, he wouldn’t be able to spend money so easily.

“I understand,” Chen Lijun said reluctantly.

Chen Zirong quickly added, “I’m ordering you to apologize to Mr. Yang immediately. If he doesn’t forgive you, you’re cut off. I don’t expect you to help the family, but I absolutely can’t allow you to bring trouble to the family! Understand?”

Chen Lijun had no way to support himself. He had to listen to his father. If he angered his father and his credit cards were canceled, he’d be begging.

Chen Lijun walked up to Yang Chen, bowed deeply, and said with reluctance, “Mr. Yang, I’m sorry, please forgive my ignorance. I’ll avoid you in the future. I hope you won’t hold a grudge.”

Yang Chen smiled and touched Chen Lijun’s head, like an elder stroking a child’s head. “To be honest, I preferred your arrogant and domineering attitude. That’s what a rich second generation [a spoiled, wealthy young person] should be like. Now that you’re so humble, it’s not as fun anymore.”

Chen Lijun gritted his teeth and glared at Yang Chen.

Chen Zirong ordered Chen Lijun to give the phone to Yang Chen, and Chen Lijun quickly did so.

Yang Chen answered the phone and said hello.

Chen Zirong quickly said, “Haha… Mr. Yang, I’m really sorry. I didn’t discipline him well, and he offended you. He’s just a kid, I hope you don’t hold it against him. I’ll invite you to dinner when I have the chance and apologize in person.”

“President Chen, you’re too polite. It’s over, let’s forget about it. It’s getting late, and I have to go home for dinner. I have to go,” Yang Chen said.

Chen Zirong quickly said, “Okay, okay.”

Yang Chen returned the phone to Chen Ziyao, then waved to Li Lanxin and headed toward the maintenance area.
