Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 89 - 87: College Roommate Returns

The staff reported the car’s condition to Yang Chen.

Everything else was fine, except for some slight scratches on the chassis.

Yang Chen quickly checked and indeed, there were some scratches on the chassis, but they weren’t serious; anyone with poor eyesight would have trouble seeing them from a distance.

Because this car is imported and quite rare domestically, the shop didn’t have the original paint.

If Yang Chen wanted to fix these scratches, he would have to either send the car to the Volkswagen Group or wait for the shop to order original paint from the group to complete the repairs.

Of course, if Yang Chen didn’t care much, he could use other types of paint instead.

Yang Chen laughed and said, "It’s no big deal, no need for repairs. Drop the car, I’m taking it."

The staff nodded with a smile and quickly lowered the car.

It’s a sports car; if every scratch on the chassis needs tedious repair work, then it’s better not to bring it out. With road conditions here, sports cars can largely be ruled out.

Besides, no matter how expensive it is, it’s just a car; no need to treat it like a precious artifact.

Who knows, maybe someday the system will reward him with an even more awesome sports car. Yang Chen wouldn’t trouble himself over such matters.

Yang Chen said goodbye to Li Lianxin and drove away.

Chen Ziyao personally saw Yang Chen off, then hurried back to ask: "Sister Lan, tell me frankly, who exactly is he?"

Li Lianxin shook her head and replied: "It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, it’s that we don’t know either. In short, he is very wealthy. The weird thing is, he’s so rich yet drives a rideshare car peacefully. Don’t you find it odd? If you were to explain, how would you explain his situation?"

Chen Ziyao pondered for a moment and then replied: "With so much money, any random investment would be better than driving a rideshare car. So, he definitely doesn’t sincerely want to do rideshare driving, he must be forced by circumstances. Being so rich, it’s unlikely anyone could force him to drive a rideshare car. The only explanation is he has a powerful family behind him, and he’s out accepting tasks and undergoing training. Honestly, I’ve mentioned it to my brother more than once, suggesting he also sends his nephew out to learn some life lessons, or else he’ll become useless. But my brother is too soft-hearted, letting him be idle and waste away outside. See, the elders of super families are decisive, forcing their kids to drive rideshare cars to toughen them up."

If we compare the system to the super family they mentioned, their reasoning seems to make sense.

...

Yang Chen had just driven away when his college roommate Zhou Wenkai called him.

During college, Yang Chen had three roommates.

Zhou Wenkai, Liang Wen Di, Chen Zhengyuan.

None of the three were native to Hai City; after graduation, they all went to their girlfriend’s city for love.

Yang Chen pulled over and answered the phone.

Yang Chen: "Kai, speak."

Zhou Wenkai: "Bro, where are you? In the sports car?"

Yang Chen: "No, I just drove over for maintenance. You’re asking where I am, could it be you’re in Hai City?"

Zhou Wenkai: "Haha... That’s why we’re bros; just one word and you guessed my intention."

Yang Chen: "Damn! Really? Where are you, I’ll come find you."

Zhou Wenkai: "I’m at the old spot. Come over now, got a surprise for you."

Yang Chen: "Alright! Coming over now. Damn! You didn’t tell me until you were here, couldn’t have mentioned it earlier? I’ll give you a piece of my mind later."

After speaking, Yang Chen hung up and rushed over.

The old spot Zhou Wenkai mentioned was a small restaurant not far from the Alumni Restaurant near Finance University.

Back then, the four of them often dined there; it was affordable and the owner’s cooking was good.

Zhou Wenkai selecting this spot evidently aimed to reminisce with Yang Chen.

The roaring sound of the Bugatti Veyron was like an imperial edict, and the cars along the way consciously gave way.

Over ten minutes later, Yang Chen arrived at the culinary street outside Finance University.

It was midsummer vacation, and there weren’t many people around.

Yang Chen parked the car road-side, then hurried to the Alumni Restaurant.

"Mistress, long time no see! You’ve gotten even curvier. Your husband must be envied," Yang Chen shouted.

The mistress’s eyes sparkled and she covered her mouth with the menu, laughing.

"Oh, stop it. After graduation, you’ve never returned. Aren’t you nostalgic for school?" the mistress seemed somewhat reproachful.

"The school I don’t miss much, but I genuinely miss you, mistress. Where’s your man? Is he cooking? He won’t hear our chat, right?" Yang Chen said with a smile.

"Don’t bring him up; he ran off with someone else, leaving us orphans and widows," replied the mistress.

"Damn, he surely doesn’t know what’s good for him. With such a well-endowed wife yet ran off, could the other woman also have a 36D like you? Really can’t understand," said Yang Chen.

The mistress kicked Yang Chen lightly and said: "Get lost, you’re annoying. Your three classmates are in the upstairs booth, I’ll take you there."

Three classmates?

So not only Zhou Wenkai returned, but Liang Wen Di and Li Zhengyuan also came.

No wonder Zhou Wenkai said he had a surprise for Yang Chen.

"Which booth are they in? You go ahead; I’ll find them myself. Don’t let me see you, or I’ll lose sleep tonight. Such a perfect body, unbearable," Yang Chen joked. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The mistress blushed and said: "In booth 203. Back in school, you weren’t so chatty; turned naughty after graduation. Had you been this flirtatious back then, I wouldn’t have married him, bore him a son, then get cheated on."

"Grew up and my skin got thicker. Heading up now, you get back to work," Yang Chen replied, quickly heading upstairs to find those three scoundrels.

Yang Chen arrived at booth 203, knocked on the door, and shouted, "Open up! It’s a raid!"

Zhou Wenkai hurried over to open the door, but inside the booth, there weren’t Liang Wen Di or Chen Zhengyuan.

"Bro, finally you’re here!" Zhou Wenkai said with a smile, immediately hugging Yang Chen.

Yang Chen lightly punched Zhou Wenkai in the stomach, saying: "Why didn’t you give a heads-up you were coming back? I’m driving rideshare now; help me drum up some business. You’ve already settled before finding me; giving me the cold shoulder or what?"

Zhou Wenkai laughed heartily, saying: "I had arranged with the company; they picked me up for the interview, so I didn’t call you."

Yang Chen nodded and asked: "Where are the other two?"

As soon as he spoke, Yang Chen felt someone quickly approaching from behind.

Given his reflexes, he could clearly react.

But predicting it was probably Liang Wen Di and Chen Zhengyuan, he chose to play along and didn’t move.

Liang Wen Di and Chen Zhengyuan rushed up from behind, one on either side, wrapping their arms around Yang Chen’s neck from behind.

Liang Wen Di: "Haha... Old Yang, bet you didn’t expect us to return too."

Chen Zhengyuan: "How does it feel, surprised?"

Yang Chen joked: "What’s the surprise? Definitely because you three were dumped by your girlfriends; otherwise, you wouldn’t have returned."

All three immediately froze.

Zhou Wenkai: "Damn! Our four-year brotherhood wasn’t in vain, you guessed it all."

Liang Wen Di: "Suddenly lost mood."

Chen Zhengyuan: "No women talk tonight; whoever mentions women isn’t a bro."

Looks like the three of them faced unpleasant experiences similar to Yang Chen’s.

At this moment, the mistress came up with a box of beer.

"Should I serve the dishes now?" the mistress asked.

Zhou Wenkai’s eyes lit up, saying: "Serve them!"

"Alright, you guys go ahead with the drinks; I’ll call someone to serve the dishes," the mistress replied with a smile.

As soon as the mistress walked away, Zhou Wenkai and the other two revealed their true selves, lusting over the mistress.

Though Yang Chen teased the mistress too, he only praised her body.

These three scoundrels were different, constantly imagining what it’d be like to sleep with her.

Yang Chen quickly said: "We agreed not to talk about women; what’s with you guys? Everyone down a bottle in one go!"

"Haha..." the three laughed.

They were quite straightforward; each opened a bottle of beer and chugged it down.

Soon, the dishes were served, and the four began eating.

Though Yang Chen intended to drive, meeting up with the bros was rare, so he didn’t hold back; he’d call for a designated driver later.

After downing four bottles of beer each, everyone became quite chatty.

Although the three of them initially said no talk of women, now women were all they mentioned, clamoring to pour their grievances to Yang Chen...
