Through hard work, Yang Chen began accepting orders on his Bibi account to pick up passengers as soon as he left school.
At ten o’clock in the evening, Yang Chen picked up a couple at the cinema entrance.
Male Passenger: "Brother, make sure to get to the Normal University within half an hour."
Yang Chen looked at the navigation and said: "I’ll try. It’s over 20 kilometers. A few delays due to traffic lights might make it difficult to be on time."
Just as Yang Chen was about to start driving, the girl suddenly said: "Darling, I’m a bit thirsty. Could you go buy me a bottle of water? Make sure it’s cold."
The man paused for a moment, then quickly ran to buy the water.
The girl quickly turned to Yang Chen and said: "Mister, safety is the most important thing, no need to drive that fast. Got it?"
Yang Chen was also stunned, then smilingly nodded and said: "Got it. You’re an expert, miss."
The girl responded with a laugh: "I’ve been subtle for over a month, and he still hasn’t made a move. He’s just too slow, I have to create opportunities for him."
Yang Chen: "Got it."
At this point, the man returned with the cold water and handed it to the girl.
The girl immediately put on a sweet expression, smiled gently, and said: "Thank you."
The man seemed anxious, saying: "Driver, please drive, you must go faster."
Yang Chen nodded and started the car toward Normal University.
Male Passenger: "Driver, can you go any faster? At this speed, we definitely won’t make it, her dormitory closes at ten thirty, if we’re late, she won’t be able to get in."
Yang Chen: "Okay. I’ll try to go faster."
Subsequently, Yang Chen increased the speed.
The female passenger hurriedly said: "Driver, could you drive a bit smoother? I’m starting to get carsick."
Yang Chen: "Okay."
If it weren’t for his experience, Yang Chen would have laughed out loud.
Before, it was always the men who schemed to keep the girl from returning to the dorm, so they could take her to a hotel.
This time it’s reversed—the man wanted the girl to return on time, but she was trying every way to stay out of the dorm.
Originally, running 20 kilometers in 30 minutes was already difficult, now Yang Chen deliberately slowed down, naturally, they couldn’t be back at school before ten thirty.
When they arrived at Normal University, it was already ten thirty-five, Yang Chen smilingly said: "Sorry, I went as fast as I could."
The girl feigned concern and said: "Oh dear, what do I do now? The dorm is closed, where will I sleep tonight?"
The male passenger immediately said: "Driver, go to the girls’ dormitory entrance now to see if the door is closed."
Clearly, the male passenger did not want to take the girl to a hotel.
Yang Chen nodded, drove into the campus, and reached the girls’ dormitory entrance.
Seeing the dorm door indeed closed, the girl felt relieved.
But she still pretended to be worried: "Oh my, it really is closed, what should I do?"
Male Passenger: "Did you bring your ID card?"
Yang Chen and the female passenger’s eyes lit up simultaneously, brother, you’re finally catching on.
Not in vain did the girl painstakingly create an opportunity.
The girl looked shy and said: "I brought it. Why?"
The male passenger chuckled and said: "I’ll take you to an internet café to spend the night."
The girl’s shy expression immediately froze.
To... an internet café... to spend the night...
Wonderful!
Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh and said: "Brother, in such hot weather, spending the night at an internet café can be quite uncomfortable. A hotel with air-conditioning would be much better."
The girl gave Yang Chen an approving look, that’s what a normal man should think.
Male Passenger immediately said: "That won’t work, we haven’t fully understood each other yet, how can we do that kind of thing? Driver, take us to the nearest internet café."
Such a righteous man is rare nowadays.
The girl angrily said: "I’m not going to an internet café!"
With that, she opened the door and got out of the car.
The male passenger chased after her, but the girl was already too upset to pay attention to him.
She simply lifted her skirt, tied it around her waist, and climbed over the gate back to the dorm.
Yang Chen helplessly shook his head, the girl was ready to go to a hotel, yet you, a fool, still want to understand each other first, truly a wasted opportunity.
Yang Chen immediately turned around and drove home to sleep.
After a while, the Bibi platform notified Yang Chen that he received a poor review.
"If you had driven faster, she wouldn’t have had to climb over the gate to get into the dorm, and she wouldn’t be mad at me."
What the heck, seriously?
The girl gave him an opportunity, he was hopeless, and then blamed the innocent driver?
Impressive, impressive...
At this time, a reminder popped up from the system.
"Congratulations to the owner for receiving a poor review, system rewards owner with 29% equity in Yida Film, becoming the second-largest shareholder of the company. The equity transfer documents will be delivered to your door by SF Express tomorrow morning, please check your mail."
Yida Film Co., Ltd., the major shareholder is Yida Investment Co., Ltd., holding 40% of the shares.
And the major shareholder of Yida Investment Co., Ltd. is Wang Ranglin, holding 98%, which means Wang Ranglin indirectly holds 39.2% of Yida Film Co., Ltd.
Other shareholders of Yida Film have very small shares, the third-largest shareholder is Yida Culture Group, holding 2%, followed by the national pension fund and other funds, none exceeding 1%.
So, don’t look down on Yang Chen for only having a 29% share, his voice at the shareholders’ meeting is quite significant.
Quickly, Yang Chen returned home.
After taking a shower and lying on the bed, the CEO of Star Entertainment, Yang Zhen, called him.
Yang Zhen: "President Yang, I’m not disturbing your rest, am I?"
Yang Chen: "No. What’s up, go ahead."
Yang Zhen: "It’s like this, ’Zhu Xian Array’ has been completed. Now several production companies are arguing over online or theater release. According to your request, the movie was made to theater standards, costing over thirty million in production. However, due to lacking big names to drive box office, theaters are reluctant to release it. So a few production companies are considering directly going online. But I think going online would waste this movie. So, I’d like to hear your thoughts."
