"Whew..."
Yang Chen let out a long breath. Doing something extraordinary in an ordinary position gave him a great sense of accomplishment.
At this moment, the system issued a reminder.
"Detected that the owner completed a special transport mission, current progress of special passenger transport missions: 1/10. Please keep up the good work, victory is at hand!"
So, this is a special passenger?
Thinking carefully, it did seem to be somewhat special.
Yang Chen roughly knew what the system considered special.
Just then, the traffic officer finally caught up.
"Driver, you’re something else! Didn’t dip below 180 the whole way, did you? You’ve got some guts; I mustered all my courage to hit 120," the traffic officer said with a smile.
Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "That was no big deal. Another time, I’ll fly a helicopter for you, that’s even faster."
The traffic officer laughed, "You can fly a helicopter too? Impressive, impressive. But, you were speeding the whole time, and according to traffic laws, you should be penalized. However, given the circumstances, we’ve decided not to penalize you. Instead, we’ll give you some publicity, as this is a good deed filled with positive energy."
Yang Chen quickly said, "Please, no, I prefer to keep a low profile, and I don’t want to become famous. I’m just an ordinary rideshare driver; making me too famous would bring trouble to my work and life. Let’s just leave it at that; I’m off."
Since Yang Chen didn’t want to be famous, the traffic officers couldn’t insist and watched him drive away.
In the evening, Hai City TV Station and many other media outlets reported on this positive energy incident.
"An ordinary hero, risking his life, speeding all the way, saved a 10-year-old child’s life. Rideshare driver Master Yang used his actions to show everyone that even ordinary jobs can achieve extraordinary things. When others are in need, he resolutely extended a helping hand, preserving the kindest aspect of humanity. Let’s pay tribute to the ordinary, and to the greatness within it."
Soon, videos of Yang Chen speeding in his Jianghuai car went viral on Douyin and other short video platforms.
Netizens also came to express their respect.
"Salute to the hero! Greatness lies in the ordinary!"
"Honestly, if it were me, I would also help. But I wouldn’t dare maintain over 180 the whole way, that’s really risking your life. If the road’s uneven or there’s a stone or something, at such speed the car could flip. I would want to save the child, but I wouldn’t dare gamble my life. Besides, it’s a domestic Jianghuai car."
"Is the domestic car on the rise? Jianghuai’s stability is that good? Running so fast and yet it didn’t even wobble, this wave of Jianghuai’s hardcore advertisement is spot on."
"Did I buy a fake Jianghuai car? Obviously the same model, why is his so stable? Mine feels like it’s about to float when it goes over 100, as if the four wheels could fly off at any moment. Yet he stayed above 180 the whole way, steady as an old dog—I really can’t understand it."
...
Yu Shishi entered Yang Chen’s room with a phone, smiling, "Sir, you’re famous again!"
Before Yang Chen could speak, the system issued a reminder.
"Yu Shishi’s loyalty level to the owner has increased to 100, she will forever be loyal to the owner. The owner can safely let her know any secrets and can safely entrust her with anything."
It wasn’t easy, almost a year, finally Yu Shishi is completely loyal.
Yang Chen responded with a smile, "Sigh... I told them to handle it quietly, how did it turn into such big publicity? I really don’t want to be famous."
Yu Shishi giggled, "Isn’t fame a good thing? Many people go to great lengths to become famous."
Yang Chen: "Not good. Being famous means every move of mine will be watched. Then the secret that I’m living with a Celestial Immortal would be exposed."
Yu Shishi covered her mouth and giggled shyly, "Who’s the Celestial Immortal you’re talking about, sir?"
Yang Chen: "Who am I living with?"
Yu Shishi: "I don’t know, who knows who you’re living with."
Yang Chen: "Really? You don’t know? I remember you said you’d agree to a reasonable request I made. Right?"
Yu Shishi blushed, nodded, and said, "Then... make your request. I will definitely fulfill it."
Yang Chen patted his thigh and said, "Sit here and move yourself."
