Lin Yiren: "Maybe you just didn’t notice."
Man: "Let’s add each other as friends."
Lin Yiren: "Sorry, I have a boyfriend. He’s got a bad temper and I don’t dare add friends; otherwise, he’d hit me when I get home."
Yang Chen looked speechlessly at Lin Yiren. Making up stories like this in front of her boyfriend, is that really okay?
Man: "You don’t say, I don’t say, how would he know? I’m currently single and work at a Wall Street investment bank."
Lin Yiren: "But he already knows."
Man: "Huh? What do you mean?"
Lin Yiren: "He’s my boyfriend. You can ask him if you can add me as a friend."
With that, Lin Yiren bent over to fasten Yang Chen’s seatbelt, flashed him a slight smile, and gently asked, "What would you like to drink? I’ll get someone to bring it for you."
Yang Chen: "I want to drink your saliva."
Lin Yiren patted Yang Chen on the chest, then gave him a quick kiss.
Everyone around was stunned by this maneuver.
Really?
Are Eastern Airlines flight attendants really so open?
Lin Yiren: "Don’t get into a fight with him, okay? Talk nicely. I still need to conduct inspections in first class, and I’ll come check on you once the flight stabilizes."
Yang Chen nodded, and Lin Yiren turned to leave the business class.
The man who had been hitting on Lin Yiren looked embarrassed, thinking, "This is so coincidental."
Everyone was laughing at him, and he had to react somehow.
So, he said to Yang Chen: "Hey bro, how should I address you? I’m Wang Junyi, a financial analyst at Shengjin Investment Bank on Wall Street, responsible for coordinating all affairs between the US headquarters and the Hai City Branch. What kind of work do you do?"
Yang Chen: "I’m Yang Chen, currently driving rideshare, and occasionally dabbling in investments."
Wang Junyi burst into laughter, saying: "Rideshare driver? You’ve got quite some skills, a rideshare driver earning at most tens of thousands a month, yet you managed to chase a flight attendant."
Yang Chen: "Can’t help it, I’m too handsome, always enjoying these perks. Some ugly guys need work and money to attract girls, but for handsome guys like us, we don’t need those, just stand there, and girls come to us. Honestly, I envy you, working at a Wall Street investment bank, being a bachelor at your age. Look at me, driving rideshare so young, all because I’m too handsome, girls line up to bother me. Sigh..."
The other passengers were amused by Yang Chen’s boastful remarks, but taking a closer look, it seemed he wasn’t wrong; he did look very handsome.
Wang Junyi felt a bit embarrassed and retorted with dissatisfaction: "So what? Girls are just playing with you, who would really marry a rideshare driver? When they get older, they’ll realize men like us with decent jobs, stable income, and a safe appearance are suitable for marriage."
Yang Chen: "Doesn’t matter, I at least enjoyed their bodies. They’re willing to marry you, but you safe men are just left taking over what I played with first."
Wang Junyi was rendered speechless by this retort, angrily staring at Yang Chen for a few seconds before speaking again: "Anyway, ask anyone, rideshare driver is considered a very low-class job, something anyone can do. Whereas my job is not for everyone."
Yang Chen: "Is that so? Your job can’t be replaced?"
Wang Junyi: "Of course! I’m the bridge between the US headquarters and the Hai City Branch; would you say I’m important?"
Yang Chen: "Then you might have misunderstood, it’s your position that’s important, not you personally. Believe it or not, with one phone call from me, there’s someone who can replace you?"
Wang Junyi: "Oh wow, you’re boasting now, huh? Go on, make a call, put it on speaker so everyone can hear. Let’s see how you make one call and replace me."
The plane hadn’t started taxiing yet, so making a call wouldn’t be an issue.
Yang Chen then called Liang Xiuyun and pressed speaker.
Quickly, the call connected.
Liang Xiuyun: "Hello, Mr. Yang, how can I help you?"
Yang Chen: "So, I’m now on a flight to New York, it hasn’t taken off yet. And my girlfriend is a flight attendant on the flight here. Some jerk hit on her right in front of me. As a man, I gotta do something about it, or I’m not a man, right? He says he’s from Shengjin Investment Bank, named Wang Junyi. He claims to be irreplaceable, even if I call you it won’t work. I want to know if this guy is really that important, that he can’t be touched?"
Liang Xiuyun: "Wang Junyi? He’s not that important, how could he not be touched? Mr. Yang, I’m very sorry, I couldn’t foresee such a situation. I’ll instruct HR to call and fire him, please don’t get upset."
Yang Chen: "Fire him... isn’t that a bit severe? After all, it’s his proud job, losing it might be too much for him to handle. Besides, he claims to be irreplaceable, don’t impact your operations just for me."
Liang Xiuyun: "Employees embarrassing the company in public while using its name wouldn’t be retained internally even without your insistence. His job is important, but anyone can do it, his personal presence is optional at best. So, rest assured, firing a hundred of him wouldn’t affect our operations."
Yang Chen: "Oh, then tell him directly, he can hear you. He requested I put it on speaker."
Liang Xiuyun: "Alright. Wang Junyi, you’re discrediting the company outside, I’m now officially notifying you that you’re fired."
Wang Junyi: "President Liang, seriously? Who is he anyway? Why are you so scared of him?"
Liang Xiuyun: "What does it have to do with being scared? You’ve tarnished the company’s name outside, we have a legitimate reason to fire you. You don’t even know who he is, yet you show off in front of him. He’s the owner of the Haisang Financial Mansion, Mr. Yang—our company has many investment projects allocated by him. You dared to hit on his girlfriend right in front of him; is your brain made of mush? If the headquarters finds out, you’d be blacklisted by Shengjin, losing any opportunity for future employment. Got it?"
Wang Junyi was utterly shocked; this was the owner of Haisang Financial Mansion, Yang Chen?
"Didn’t you say you drive rideshare?" Wang Junyi asked, puzzled.
Yang Chen: "Yeah! I mentioned I occasionally dabble in investments, and Haisang Financial Mansion is just one of those projects."
Wang Junyi: "But how could a rideshare driver afford a mansion worth billions?"
Yang Chen: "What do you mean, me having some money as a rideshare driver is unreasonable? What do you guys think? Earning some money as a rideshare driver and investing it, isn’t that fair enough?"
The entire cabin fell silent.
Brother, do you even hear what you’re saying?
Earning a bit from rideshare, sure, but earning a mansion isn’t quite reasonable.
Liang Xiuyun: "Wang Junyi, stop troubling Mr. Yang, hurry back. No need for you to report to headquarters."
At this moment, a flight attendant declared, "The plane will soon commence taxiing and take off; everyone, please fasten your seatbelts and turn off electronic devices. Thank you for cooperating!"
Yang Chen: "President Liang, the plane is about to take off, I’m going to hang up."
Liang Xiuyun: "Alright. Safe travels and have a pleasant journey, Mr. Yang. Wang Junyi, get off the plane quickly! Otherwise, you’ll bear the costs yourself!"
Yang Chen ended the call.
Wang Junyi, with a face of despair, immediately stood up and shouted: "I want to get off the plane! I want to get off the plane..."
