What the hell?
I've heard of cashback for good reviews, but never a gift for bad reviews!
But soon, Yang Chen figured it out.
As a veteran web novel enthusiast, he knew he was about to unlock abilities like a web novel protagonist.
Who cares if it's a gift for bad reviews or cashback for good reviews? As long as it's a system, just bind it quickly—there's no downside. That's how it's written in novels, anyway.
Yang Chen immediately focused his thoughts to agree to bind with the system.
The voice came again, and at the same time, a radiant screen only visible to Yang Chen appeared before him.
"Binding command received from the host, the system is binding. 1%, 2%, 3%...99%, 100%, system binding successful. From now on, the host will receive system rewards for receiving complaints or poor reviews. The rewards are not fixed and could be money, property, luxury cars, skills, technology, or products, etc. So, to get more rewards, please strive for more negative reviews. Since the host just received a complaint, the system presents a grand gift, awarding the host with 28% equity in the Peninsula Hotel Group, making you the second-largest shareholder of the hotel group. Please visit the Peninsula Hotel for a meal, during which the equity transfer agreement will be delivered to you."
This system is powerful; it handed over a grand gift as soon as it was bound.
Being a second-largest shareholder is quite nice; you don't have to do anything and just wait for the dividends.
Finally, there's something that makes him feel good.
It's just about getting negative reviews, right?
Anyone can do that, right?
But at this moment, the system provided a reminder.
"There are no restrictions in principle. However, if the host's rating is too low, the platform will limit the ability to accept orders. It's advised to target odd or annoying passengers for bad reviews, and provide good service to regular passengers to maintain your rating and order priority."
The system understands well. The platform does have such rules—lower ratings push you further down the order acceptance list.
If the rating falls below 4, you might even be barred from receiving orders.
If you can't get any orders, where would you get negative reviews from?
So the system's advice is very reasonable; negative reviews should be pursued selectively, not just randomly targeting any passenger for them.
At this moment, a task was pushed to Yang Chen through the system.
The departure location is 1.2 kilometers away from Yang Chen, with the destination being the Peninsula Hotel.
This order seems perfectly tailored for Yang Chen, as he was planning to go to the Peninsula Hotel for a meal and collect the equity transfer document.
Yang Chen immediately accepted the order and followed the navigation.
Very soon, Yang Chen arrived at the pick-up point and picked up the passenger.
Yang Chen: "Hello, are you the passenger with the last four digits 8043?"
The female passenger ignored him but opened the car door and got in.
"Hello, please fasten your seatbelt," Yang Chen reminded.
Female Passenger: "Why is the driver a man? Annoying."
Whoa, another weirdo, and probably not all there mentally.
Previously, Yang Chen would certainly feel upset.
Who could feel good dealing with such a weird passenger?
But now things are different. Hearing such brainless words from her made Yang Chen excited.
Because it meant that a negative review was coming and a reward too, right?
"Ah, yes, I am a male driver. So, Miss, do you have any concerns about male drivers? We have full audio and video recording throughout, so you don't need to worry about anything," Yang Chen said.
Female Passenger: "I get annoyed just seeing a male driver."
Yang Chen: "Have you been hurt by men?"
Honestly, she looked pretty good, with a nice figure, mainly very tall, almost about 178cm.
In her red dress, paired with fiery red lips, she's a proper dominatrix.
If a woman like her was hurt by a man, that man must be impressive.
Female Passenger: "Just focus on driving, driver. Why ask so much? Nagging more than a woman. Hurry up and drive, or I'll complain about you."
With her talking like that, Yang Chen was even more thrilled.
"Miss, if you have any prejudice against male drivers, you can switch vehicles. I don't even want to give you a ride." Yang Chen said firmly.
Female Passenger: "Wow, are ride-sharing drivers so bold nowadays? Are you refusing to accept passengers?"
Yang Chen: "I'm not refusing; it's your prejudice against male drivers."
Female Passenger: "That's my issue. Does it affect your driving? What's wrong with a passenger venting their mood a bit?"
Either way, Yang Chen had to go to the Peninsula Hotel for a meal and get the equity transfer agreement; if he could secure this negative review, that would be even better.
So, definitely can't refuse a ride—who can say no to a walking grand gift?
Yang Chen started the car and drove off.
About five minutes passed, and the female passenger impatiently asked, "What are you looking at?"
Yang Chen didn't respond.
Female Passenger: "Hey, I'm talking to you! What are you looking at? Never seen a woman before?"
Yang Chen: "Are you talking to me?"
Female Passenger: "Duh! Is there anyone else in the car? Why are you peeping at me through that small mirror?"
Yang Chen: "Miss, do you have a car?"
Female Passenger: "What does that have to do with you peeping at me?"
Yang Chen: "Miss, if you have a car, you should know I'm not looking at you; I'm watching the traffic behind us."
The female passenger quickly turned her head to look behind. It's rush hour, and the roads were a bit congested, with cars constantly trying to overtake.
Realizing her misunderstanding, the female passenger asked again, "Is this a manual car?"
Yang Chen: "Automatic manual. Why?"
Female Passenger: "Annoying! I find manual cars particularly irritating. Just looking at the gear stick frustrates me."
Oh my, Seriously, if it weren't for getting a negative review, Yang Chen would really want to hit her.
Hmm?
No way!
I'm not after good reviews; I want negative reviews. Why am I tolerating this?
Yang Chen immediately retorted, "Are you allergic to stick-like objects? Or had bad experiences? This damn car being manual bothers you? Sit if you want, otherwise get out! I'm a driver, not a garbage collector!"
Female Passenger: "How dare you talk like that? Who are you calling father? Who are you calling garbage? Wasn't what you said just now sexual harassment? Don't think I can't tell what you're implying! You're done for; I will definitely complain and leave a negative review, just wait."
"Heh heh... I was just waiting for your complaint and negative review." Yang Chen thought gleefully to himself.
At this moment, Yang Chen's phone rang.
Without much thought, he put it on speaker.
"Yang Chen, you bastard, scum, shameless jerk. It was me dumping you, got it? Who are you to say those things to me? You bastard..."
Zhao Feifei seemed quite upset with Yang Chen's last message, changed her number just to call and curse him.
Yang Chen wasn't holding back either, cursing back: "Get lost! Try harassing me again, and I'll send the videos and photos of us playing cards to your current boyfriend, let him see how mighty I am. Don't think you can flaunt just because you hooked up with a rich second-generation."
Zhao Feifei immediately quieted down and asked: "How... how do you know I found a boyfriend?"
"Is it even a question? Suddenly breaking up with your boyfriend of six years—clearly hooked up with some rich second-generation or big shot, right? Aren't women just like that? You always wanted to change your fate by leaning on a man, right? Congrats on getting a taste of your dream about to come true." Yang Chen mocked.
Zhao Feifei felt a bit guilty and changed to a pleading tone: "Let's not talk about this, okay? Chen, for the sake of our six-year love, can we part on good terms?"
"I've already blocked you; isn't that parting on good terms?" Yang Chen retorted.
Zhao Feifei: "But you still kept those videos and photos. Please delete them all. I'm begging you."
Yang Chen: "Oh, that? Weren't you just scolding me with great enthusiasm?"
Zhao Feifei: "I was wrong, Chen; I really was. I apologize. For the sake of being with you since I was 17, just delete those things, please."
Not bringing this up was alright, but mentioning it made Yang Chen furious.
Being with Yang Chen since she was 17, six years passed, she said she changed her heart just like that.
If Yang Chen were a loser, not ambitious, with vices and so on, he would have nothing to say if she left.
But Yang Chen is great in all respects, striving forward, even worked hard for her crappy family, yet just because he doesn't have enough money now, she ran off with someone else.
Damn, thinking about it makes him even angrier.
Yang Chen: "What you scolded me made me very upset. Call me 'daddy,' and use the tone from when we played cards."
Zhao Feifei: "You... Yang Chen, don't overstep! If you dare to expose those things, I will call the police!"
Yang Chen: "What if my computer breaks down, taken for repair, and someone unintentionally leaks it?"
