Yang Chen isn't really counting on making money from ride-sharing, but that doesn't mean he can slack off.
Because he received a bad review, he needs to get dozens of good reviews to bring his overall rating back up.
So, if time and his physical condition allow, he should try to take as many jobs as possible.
Earn more good reviews, and he won't have to panic when he encounters weird situations.
After just two rides, Yang Chen received a call from Zhang Yaowu.
Zhang Yaowu still wanted to resolve the issue with money, hoping Yang Chen would forgive Zhang Hengzhi once he accepted the money.
Yang Chen replied irritably: "Zhang Yaowu, didn't I sign the non-forgiveness agreement right in front of you yesterday? Are you still not giving up? You and your son think money can solve everything. Then use your money on your son's case. See if you can get him off. Calling me is just a waste of time, there's no way I'm going to talk privately with you. Am I clear enough?"
Zhang Yaowu laughed coldly and said, "Young man, don't be so arrogant. I'm being very civil in discussing this with you now, don't be ungrateful. Think of the consequences if one day you're walking, and suddenly a stone falls from the sky and hits your head."
"Are you threatening me? Too bad it won't work. I have no time for this nonsense, I'm hanging up. Don't call me again, or I'll report you to the police." With that, Yang Chen hung up the phone.
On the other end, Zhang Yaowu was furious, cursing, "Dammit, a dirt-poor ride-share driver dares to stand up to me! I'll have to teach you a lesson so you understand the world is divided by rank and class! Damn!"
As evening approached, Wang Qian Ni suddenly called Yang Chen.
"Hey, are you free?" asked Wang Qian Ni.
Yang Chen had just accepted a ride and was about to pick up the passenger.
So, he quickly replied, "No, I'm driving now. I just accepted a ride, have to pick up the passenger, no time to chat with you."
"Hey, wait a minute. Wasn't your car smashed by Zhang Hengzhi? How are you driving?" asked Wang Qian Ni.
"What are you saying, I can't buy another car?" replied Yang Chen.
"Oh, that makes sense. Then go pick up your passenger, and after you drop them off, come pick me up. I need the car. Okay?" asked Wang Qian Ni.
"Of course there's an issue. Don't you have a Porsche 911? Why do you want to take my ride-share?" Yang Chen retorted.
"My car's in for maintenance. Just come, I'm not asking you to do it for free. I'll pay according to the taxi fare, okay?" responded Wang Qian Ni.
"Fine! Send me your location, and I'll come pick you up in a while," Yang Chen replied.
Wang Qian Ni agreed happily and quickly hung up the phone.
She then sent her location to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen picked up the passenger and drove them to their destination, then followed the GPS to her location.
The place was an apartment building next to the road.
Yang Chen arrived at the location and called Wang Qian Ni.
Just then, a phone rang from a girl in a white pleated skirt standing by the roadside.
Yang Chen looked over and was a bit dumbfounded.
Was the pristine and elegant girl Wang Qian Ni?
Wang Qian Ni picked up the phone and said, "Hey, where are you?"
"I'm right in front of you, can't you see me?" Yang Chen replied.
Wang Qian Ni quickly looked down at the driver of the Volkswagen in front of her, confirmed it was Yang Chen, and quickly got in.
She even sat in the passenger seat.
"Why did you buy a Volkswagen? As a second shareholder of the Peninsula Hotel, you should at least drive a Porsche or something," Wang Qian Ni asked.
Yang Chen was scrutinizing Wang Qian Ni carefully.
Her tattoos were gone, her skin was fair and bright, though he wondered if it was smooth and tender.
And since she'd only put on light makeup, it was wholly different from her previous smoky-eye rebellious look, making her appear more beautiful and pleasing.
Wang Qian Ni lifted her skirt slightly and slid her hand along her leg, saying, "How about it? My long legs, aren't they long and white?"
Wow, as soon as she spoke, all of Yang Chen's previous charming fantasies about her disappeared.
What true goddess would speak so boldly?
"Can you not talk? You're 99 out of 100 if you keep quiet, but 59 when you open your mouth," said Yang Chen mercilessly.
Wang Qian Ni immediately shut her mouth, then adjusted her skirt to put on a ladylike demeanor.
Yang Chen laughed helplessly and asked, "Where did you get your tattoo removed? It's so clean."
Wang Qian Ni remained silent.
Yang Chen rolled his eyes in exasperation and said, "Say something."
"I can't. I aspire to be the 99-point woman in your heart, not the 59-point commoner you think I am," replied Wang Qian Ni.
Oh wow, she found an excuse.
"If you don't say anything, get out of the car, I don't want a piece of wood sitting next to me," Yang Chen said.
Wang Qian Ni immediately complained, "What's up with you being so hard to please? I showed you my long legs and you thought I was a bit bold. I stopped talking, but you're still not happy. So, do you want me to be a 99 or a 59?"
"I think you can be a 59 now, and if you answer my question, you can remain a 99," Yang Chen replied helplessly.
Wang Qian Ni nodded and said, "Got it. Actually, they're not tattoos, they're stickers. You didn't really think a beautiful young girl like me would tattoo a Guan Gong on herself, did you? You're so naïve. Haha..."
Yang Chen looked at Wang Qian Ni laughing heartily, not knowing what to say.
After she had her laugh, Yang Chen asked, "Satisfied with the laugh? Where are we going? I still need to make a living. Tell me the destination, and I'll take you there now."
"I've booked a table at the Queen Mary Restaurant, treating you tonight," Wang Qian Ni replied with a grin.
Yang Chen shook his head and said, "Thanks, but I don't have time. I still need to drive. Besides, why would you treat me to a meal? Aren't you trying to get me drunk and take me to a hotel to steal my kidneys?"
"Haha... You're so good-looking, even if I wanted your kidneys, I'd have to sleep with you enough first. Oh, sorry, I said something a bit bold again, and I know you don't like that in a girl. Right? No problem, you like gentleness, I can be gentle. Actually, I want to thank you. Didn't you introduce Sky Curtain Investment to us? My dad says the deal is set, just need to sign tomorrow morning and wait for the funds. So, I want to thank you. I originally wanted to offer myself, but since you're such a coward, we'll settle for a meal," said Wang Qian Ni with exaggerated gestures.
Well, in that case, Wang Qian Ni indeed should treat for a meal as a gesture of thanks.
However, Yang Chen wasn't tempted by the meal; her thanks were enough.
"Hmm, I've got your gratitude. No need for a meal, I need to keep driving," said Yang Chen.
Wang Qian Ni sighed, lifted her skirt again, and straightened her chest, saying, "Brother, are you kidding me? A fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged girl with big breasts, a slim waist, and a curvy rear asks you out to dinner, and you say you need to drive? Are you even a man? Your behavior is no different from Sun Wukong paralyzing the Seven Immortal Maidens just to pick peaches. Is there something wrong with your preference? If you were even slightly normal, you wouldn't be talking about driving."
