Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 162 - 135: Brother Chen, Help Me Break Them Up
Yang Chen’s Phaeton had some scratches on the door after being involved in two arrests of criminal suspects.
After that woman threw up last night, he randomly found a car wash by the roadside for a quick clean-up.
So, Yang Chen took the car in for some maintenance.
After resting for an afternoon, Yang Chen couldn’t stand the boredom of scrolling through Douyin at home and decided to take the Rolls-Royce out for a drive to pick up passengers.
Just picking up a couple of quick rides to kill some time before heading back home.
Just as he left the neighborhood, Yang Chen noticed the driver group was buzzing with activity.
Driver Chen Xing sent a voice message.
"Brothers, I’m so upset. My girlfriend was snatched away by a jerk. The key thing is, I feel that guy is unreliable, he looks exactly like the type of love scammer. I hate to let go and don’t want her to get hurt. What should I do?"
Nowadays, girls are quite materialistic and vain. For an average guy, having a pretty girlfriend is quite unstable, she could be taken away at any given time.
Chen Xing’s girlfriend Chen Li is from the same town as him, and they’ve been together for three years.
Originally, Chen Li was very honest, but over the years, she’s been intoxicated by the nightlife, becoming more and more eager for money and such.
Perhaps a ride-hailing driver can no longer meet her needs.
Yang Chen is now their boss, so he must show some concern when Chen Xing encounters trouble.
Driver Yang Chen: "Chen Xing, once a woman changes her mind, not even eight horses can bring her back. Don’t dwell on it, I have experience."
Driver Zhang Hu: "The boss is right, once a woman changes her mind, begging on your knees won’t help. Chen Xing, let it go. Just accept she’s not meant for you."
Driver Chen Xing: "But I’m unwilling! We’ve been together for three years, I’ve spent hundreds of thousands on her, and now she turns around and is happy with someone else. The more I think about it, the more unwilling I am. Even if I can’t win her back, I don’t want them to be happy. Brother Chen, can you help me figure something out?"
Driver Yang Chen: "You mean to break them up?"
Driver Chen Xing: "Yes! Help me break them up, make it impossible for them to be together."
Driver Yang Chen: "Okay, just so happens I have nothing to do tonight, I originally planned to go out and take a couple of rides for fun, but now you have a problem, I’ll definitely help you. Where are they now?"
Driver Chen Xing: "Now they’re at the Qinda Plaza Starbucks."
Driver Yang Chen: "I’m heading over immediately! You should come too!"
Driver Chen Xing: "Alright! Thanks, Brother Chen. See you at Qinda Plaza."
Yang Chen logged off from the Bibi platform and headed straight for Qinda Plaza.
Meanwhile, the group chat was still lively with people joining in.
Driver Liu Hu: "Chen Xing, remember to give a live update! Your brothers are cheering you on!"
Driver Zhang He: "Haha... Yes, let the brothers see how the boss breaks them up!"
Driver Chen Xing: "Darn, you guys are twisted! I’ll try my best."
Soon, Yang Chen arrived at Qinda Plaza and parked the car by the roadside in front of Starbucks.
Yang Chen asked Chen Xing for a photo of his girlfriend Chen Li, and quickly pinpointed the target inside the store.
At the moment, Chen Li was talking with her current boyfriend Zhao Hong about investment plans.
Zhao Hong: "Now the housing prices have dropped to the bottom, and the bank’s mortgage rates are also lowering, it’s certain that in the near future house prices will surge. A few friends and I have formed an investment group, specifically targeting those high-quality houses at the bottom prices. In one’s life, there are only three golden opportunities to get rich: when house prices soared in 2008, we missed it, then again in 2016, we missed it too. 2024 is the real estate’s last golden upward period. If we don’t seize this opportunity, we’ll never have the chance to get rich."
Chen Li, with only a middle school education, couldn’t really understand any of this.
But she knew one fact, that houses were expensive now.
In their hometown, an eighth-tier county seat, the price was over 8,000 per square meter, and in Hai City, it averaged at 70,000, investing in real estate couldn’t be wrong.
After his eloquent talk, Zhao Hong revealed his scammer nature.
"We recently set our sights on the building across for possible demolition. See over there? That building, an old house from the last century, clearly unsuitable across from Qinda Plaza. If we can pool together some more money, we can buy a few units. Just wait for the demolition, and we’ll suddenly become rich!"
Chen Li was tempted by Zhao Hong’s words but wasn’t quite ready to shell out cash.
Then, two people nearby deliberately raised their voices to talk.
"See that building across? Built in ’98, it’s so old, it’s a loss of glory. My cousin works in the Housing Bureau, he told me there’s a possibility it might be demolished. I’m currently raising funds, planning to buy a few units to wait for the demolition."
"Really? No way, let me join in! Brothers for life, remember that if there’s such an opportunity!"
...
Zhao Hong winked at Chen Li, leaning forward slightly to say: "Did you hear? They came for a field visit."
Naive Chen Li couldn’t resist such a trap, quickly saying: "I have 50,000 yuan saved from working over the years. Let me invest too. I need to save up for a dowry, I can’t just go to your house empty-handed when we marry."
Zhao Hong smiled slightly, saying: "You’re so sweet. Alright, tomorrow you put the money in a regulated account, supervised by the bank, no one can touch it, ensuring our funds are safe."
"Uh-huh..." Chen Li nodded happily. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Zhao Hong secretly thought: "What an ugly fool, you’re so easy to trick. If it weren’t for the 50,000 yuan you have, I wouldn’t waste my time on you."
Yang Chen walked over to Chen Li and said: "Wang Li? What are you doing here?"
