Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 277 - 168: When It Comes to Acting Cool, Yang Chen Is Second to None
Yang Chen returned home.
The leaders from the city bureau and Bibi platform hurried forward to hand him the banners.
Yang Chen really didn’t want these things; he just wanted to drive quietly.
However, since they came to deliver it, he couldn’t be too ungracious.
"Thank you all. These are just things I ought to do as a Hai City resident; there’s really no need to give me banners," Yang Chen said tactfully.
City bureau leader: "Don’t worry, we’re not publicizing anything this time, just giving it to you internally. The director specifically instructed not to cause you any trouble. We’ll take a photo as evidence, and I’ll leave immediately."
Yang Chen nodded, took a group photo with him, and the people from the city bureau left.
The leaders from the Bibi platform were excited, asking, "I didn’t expect Master Yang to be so wealthy, living in a place like this."
Yang Chen: "Come on, this is my girlfriend’s house. I couldn’t rent a place like this as a Bibi driver. Don’t mess around; wealthy people are usually quite low-profile. If you mess things up for me, I’ll lead the driver brothers to protest at headquarters."
The Bibi leader glanced at Yu Shishi, then laughed and said, "Understood, understood. Let’s also take a photo for evidence; I have to report back."
Yang Chen nodded and took a picture receiving the banners with him, then sent them both off.
Yang Chen looked at the two banners in his hands, feeling a bit resistant.
Others would strive to get these banners, yet he received them until he felt nauseous.
Sigh...
Being too good also turns into a kind of trouble.
...
Finance University, the 60th anniversary celebration day.
Last night, Li Xiaofei came to Yang Chen’s place, and today they returned to school together.
The entire school had a day off today, allowing everyone to arrange their own time freely.
However, the school still required each class to send some representatives to the anniversary event.
After all, alumni who donated significantly would be giving speeches; without an audience, it would be quite awkward.
Since Finance University expanded enrollment, there were over twenty thousand people in the new campus.
Walking in the campus felt like going to a fair; there were people everywhere.
However, Yang Chen was incredibly eye-catching; wherever he went, he was the focus.
Aside from being handsome and having a good aura, standing tall at 185cm, with slicked-back hair, wearing a neat and adept dress shirt, trousers, and leather shoes - this was the dream image of many girls’ ideal man.
Unknowingly, the two arrived outside the school’s auditorium.
A familiar figure appeared before Yang Chen, someone he hadn’t seen in a long time - Zhao Feifei.
Zhao Feifei was also a Finance University graduate, eligible to return for the celebration.
However, Yang Chen had no reaction, continuing to walk with Li Xiaofei into the auditorium.
Zhao Feifei stood dazed for a few seconds, then followed them inside as well.
Li Xiaofei whispered, "Brother, should I curse her a bit?"
Yang Chen shook his head, saying, "Just treat her as a stranger, don’t get entangled with her."
The two found a spot to sit, waiting for the event to start.
Yang Chen hadn’t seated for long when Chen Liang called him again.
Chen Liang: "Brother Chen, are you here yet?"
Yang Chen: "I’m sitting in the auditorium, waiting to hear your speech."
Chen Liang: "Hurry to the academic office, we have important matters to discuss."
Yang Chen: "What matters?"
Chen Liang: "Just come over, and you’ll find out."
Yang Chen: "I don’t want to go; I’ll just wait here."
Chen Liang: "But you received the invitation card; you must come. Not every alumnus receives an invitation card - those who do are highly valued by the school. Since you received it, you should show some face and come over, don’t you think?"
Yang Chen: "Damn! What a hassle. Fine, I’m coming."
Yang Chen said a few words to Li Xiaofei, then got up and headed to the academic office.
Good grief, he ran into Zhao Feifei again in the aisle.
Yang Chen continued treating her as a stranger and passed by her.
Zhao Feifei couldn’t help but turn around to look at Yang Chen’s back, feeling an indescribable emotion inside.
Soon, Yang Chen arrived at the academic office.
Chen Liang dragged him into the meeting room.
Yang Chen: "Hello, everyone. Hello, fellow alumni, I am Yang Chen. Apologies for arriving late due to traffic."
Principal Ge Sulan smiled and said, "Yang, please take a seat, welcome back to participate in the alma mater’s 60th anniversary celebration."
Yang Chen smiled, nodded, and sat beside Chen Liang.
Alumni meetings are always filled with greetings; each was either an executive or a president, everyone appeared very cool.
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying, "Seems our Finance University is quite remarkable, blooming everywhere, with each flower being vibrant."
"So, what does President Yang do?"
"Exactly! If there’s any opportunity for collaboration in the future, remember us."
...
Yang Chen replied with a smile, "I’m a ride-share driver; if anyone needs a ride, remember to find me."
"..."
The whole room fell silent.
Holy moly, can a ride-share driver also attend such a high-profile alumni symposium?
What’s the principal up to?
Panic-driven desperation?
You can’t set things up like this just because of lack of funds; it lowers everyone’s status!
The crowd chuckled without saying a word.
Chen Liang helplessly shook his head, thinking, "I really don’t understand what Brother Chen is thinking. If I were as impressive as him, I’d wish the whole world knew, yet he insists on being so low-key. Having wealth but not showing off is like wearing luxurious clothes at night, what meaning is there in that?"
Ge Sulan just hoped what Chen Liang said was true, that Yang Chen drove ride-share to pass time, not actually as a living.
Ge Sulan hurriedly revealed the main topic of this symposium, which was about the land issue next to the school – he hoped everyone could think of ways to acquire it at a low price from Mingyang Real Estate.
According to his plans, the school could only offer up to 30 million, meaning Mingyang Real Estate would have to sell at a loss of 20 million to the school, not even including interest on funds and other costs.
