Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 85 - 83: Tipping a Golden Alliance
Yang Chen still felt that this was too absurd; who gets lost in their own residential area?
So he said, "Miss, if you haven’t sorted it out yet, I can wait another five minutes. You don’t need to make excuses like that, it’s okay. I’m in a good mood today, so I can wait a while longer."
The passenger cried even harder upon hearing his words.
"Boohoo... I... I’m really lost... Boohoo... I’ve been walking around and found the buildings all look the same, the landscape trees along the road are the same, everything is the same... Boohoo..."
Being able to cry like this must mean it’s not fake.
Yang Chen quickly said, "Miss, don’t cry for now, tell me which building you are near."
Passenger: "I’m... I’m near Building 32, the building is on my right-hand side, but I live in Building 19, and I don’t know how I’ve walked farther and farther away."
Yang Chen: "I’ve just realized this residential area has 56 buildings, it really is big, easy to get lost in. So, I’ll guide you with navigation, you follow what I say. Okay?"
Passenger: "Okay, okay, tell me."
Yang Chen: "Face south now, walk straight south on the path beneath your feet."
Passenger: "Wait, where’s south?"
Yang Chen: "..."
Oh gosh, this conversation is impossible to continue.
Yang Chen looked up, and of course, there was no sun today, so he couldn’t use the sun as a guide for her.
"Boohoo... Brother, what should I do now? I’m rushing to attend a meeting... Boohoo..." the passenger cried.
Yang Chen was helpless too and quickly said, "Okay then, stand still, I’ll ask the guard if I can go in to meet you."
Passenger: "Okay, okay, that’s great, thank you, Brother. You’re really a good person, good people will definitely have a peaceful life."
Oh, if every passenger could talk like this, how wonderful the world would be.
People ought to know gratitude, when someone does something they shouldn’t have to do, they should express thanks.
But many people think it’s only natural for someone to do so and accept others’ kindness as a matter of course, and they can even nitpick when others don’t do well.
Yang Chen drove to the guard station, handed a Hua Zi to the guard uncle, and said, "Uncle, there’s a passenger who can’t find her way out, I need to go in to pick her up. I’ll be out in five minutes at most. Okay?"
The guard uncle smiled and nodded, "Sure! Just come out quickly."
"Alright, promise to be out within five minutes." Yang Chen replied with a smile.
The gate guard opened the electric gate, and Yang Chen drove in, found Building 32, and saw a cute little lady squatting by the roadside wiping away tears.
She didn’t look tall, around 163, and she looked very cute like a child who hasn’t grown up, but her chest was notably prominent, truly "childlike but mature."
Yang Chen parked the car in front of her, honked the horn twice, and asked, "Passenger with the last four digits 4038?"
The female passenger suddenly burst into tears.
"Waaa..."
Watching her cry to the sky, Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh.
Turns out when girls are cute, they truly make people laugh.
The female passenger climbed into the back seat, and Yang Chen handed her a tissue from the dashboard.
"Thank you... Boohoo..." the female passenger cried as she accepted it.
Yang Chen drove away slowly, circled around, and exited the gate.
At that moment, the female passenger’s emotions had slightly stabilized.
"Hello, please fasten your seatbelt. We’re now headed to Minghai Hotel." Yang Chen said.
The female passenger quickly fastened her seatbelt, "Thank you, Driver Brother. You’re a good person, can we add each other as friends? If I need anything, I’ll contact you directly. You’re the first person willing to wait patiently for over ten minutes and come to pick me up. Previously, the drivers would cancel after waiting just five minutes."
Yang Chen chuckled and replied, "Can’t blame them, who’d expect you to get lost in your own residential area?"
The female passenger explained, "I’m naturally bad with directions, plus I grew up in a town, this is my first time living in the city. Originally I wanted to rent an apartment, but my dad insisted on buying a new house. Buy it but he chose such a big residential area. Here, every building looks the same, the roads look the same, the landscape trees look the same, I can’t tell them apart at all. I generally don’t go out, as soon as I do, I get lost. Today, if it wasn’t for a meeting, I wouldn’t have gone out at all."
The trip was quite long, and the two started chatting.
Through the chat, Yang Chen learned that her name was Yuan Xiaozao, currently an author at Qidian Female Channel.
She was heading to a writer’s exchange conference.
Yang Chen then asked, "What’s your pen name? I’ll find time to subscribe and support it on Qidian."
Yuan Xiaozao replied shyly, "I’m just a small-time writer, don’t despise me. My pen name is Zao Lian. I write domineering CEO stories for the female channel, you probably wouldn’t like them as a guy."
Yang Chen chuckled, "That’s not necessarily true. I used to like watching idol dramas too. I’ll check your work later, if it’s good, I’ll reward you."
There are still over 80 million virtual coins not withdrawn, finding a reason to shower gifts for withdrawal is the way to go.
More than twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of Minghai Hotel.
Yuan Xiaozao was very happy and said, "Brother Yang, thank you! If I need anything, I’ll contact you in advance. If you’re available, please do come and pick me up next time."
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, "Sure! Don’t forget your things, goodbye."
Yuan Xiaozao nodded, hurriedly got out of the car and ran away.
Yang Chen found a shady spot to park, opened the Qidian APP, and found the author Zao Lian.
Zao Lian had a total of three works; the first two were completed with only over 500,000 words each, and the results were not great.
The current work being updated is called "You and the Spring Breeze Are Passersby," gaining 50,000 fans, and it seems the results are good; maybe it was due to this book’s success that she was invited to attend the conference.
After all, with nothing else to do, he might as well see how well she writes.
Currently, this work only has 400,000 words, and based on reader feedback in the comment section, it’s well-written.
Yang Chen read 100,000 words straight before stopping, feeling that it’s indeed pretty good.
Then, Yang Chen rewarded her with a Golden Alliance.
According to Qidian’s rules, the Golden Alliance will be broadcast across the whole platform.
For authors, this is an excellent way to attract more readers.
However, a Golden Alliance Master requires spending 100,000 yuan, and most people don’t dare to use such a method for drawing traffic.
Even for platinum-level experts, the Golden Alliance they earn isn’t many.
So, for an LV2 author to suddenly receive a Golden Alliance Master, it quickly attracted attention from other authors and readers.
The comment section of "You and the Spring Breeze Are Passersby" suddenly became lively.
"Are authors this bold now? Brave enough to fake such results?"
"Another tycoon playing around? This Golden Alliance is really eye-opening."
"Wow! An LV2 author, earning a few thousand a month, dares to spend 100,000, if you’re a rich second generation, just stick to that, don’t compete with us small writers for rice bowls!"
"Wow, a Golden Alliance Master’s ID also called Undying Star—could it be the Undying Star who made waves on Douyu? Has the tycoon played enough with female streamers and is now interested in female authors?"
"It’s great to have money, tired of playing with female streamers, now it’s time to play with slightly more cultured female authors."
