Chapter 338 - 183: Wow, the Lin Family Sisters Were Actually Rejected by a Ride-Hailing Driver
The familiar figures were none other than the Lin Sisters.
Facing the encounter, Lin Shuying had no choice but to greet him since she and Zhang Quan were both teachers at Hai City Academy of Fine Arts.
"Teacher Zhang, what a coincidence," Lin Shuying said reluctantly.
Zhang Quan forced a smile and quickly slipped away.
The sisters were bewildered, shaking their heads at each other, unable to comprehend Zhang Quan’s behavior.
A pair of stunning twins in Republic of China-style student outfits entered, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.
The waitress led the Lin Sisters to table number nine, which had just been cleared.
At this moment, both of them saw the figure they’d been longing to see.
"Yang Chen!" the sisters shouted in unison.
Yang Chen turned to look at the sisters, then smiled and said, "Miss Lin, what a coincidence! Are you here on a date with Professor Zhang?"
Lin Anxiang: "Who’s dating him? Stop joking."
Lin Shuying: "We’ve been looking for you so hard!"
Yang Chen: "Why are you looking for me? Did you leave something in my car?"
Lin Shuying: "No. The painting you did last time, I took it home to show my grandpa, and he couldn’t stop praising it. He insists on meeting you. We’ve contacted the platform, but they said they couldn’t disclose your information without permission. We hadn’t been able to find you until we ran into you here today. Do you have plans later? Can you come home with us to meet my grandpa?"
Yang Chen shook his head and said, "I still have friends to attend to, no time. I was just casually painting, not worth your grandpa’s attention. We’re finished eating, so we’re leaving. You two should sit down and enjoy your meal. Waiter, the bill, please."
The waiter hurried over, politely saying, "Hello Mr. Yang, your table comes to a total of 5888."
Yang Chen: "Hmm. Hmm? Isn’t the vase already 5000? How is it only 5888 in total? Is there a mistake?"
Waiter: "The manager said we couldn’t let you have a smooth meal today, and we’re very sorry. The vase is indeed 5000, so we’re only charging a symbolic lucky number of 888 for the meal. Here’s the receipt for you to check."
The Lin Sisters looked at each other, astonished that Yang Chen had such influence, eating such a big meal here for just 888?
He couldn’t possibly be just a rideshare driver, not even a car company executive gets this kind of treatment, right?
Yuan Xiaozao took the receipt and then asked Yang Chen, "Brother Chen, do I really just pay this amount?"
Yang Chen nodded and said, "Since Manager Zhou said this is the amount, just pay this much."
Yuan Xiaozao nodded, quickly swiping the card to pay.
Yang Chen stood up and said to the Lin Sisters, "Miss Lin, enjoy your meal, we’re leaving now."
Lin Shuying quickly grabbed Yang Chen, saying, "Let’s add each other as friends. When you are free, I’ll arrange for you to meet my grandpa. Is that okay?"
Yang Chen didn’t really want to meet Lin Shuying’s grandpa, so he used an old excuse to refuse, "I believe in fate. It’s unnecessary to add friends from a fleeting encounter. If we meet again, I’ll add you."
Lin Shuying hesitated for a few seconds, then could only nod in resignation.
Lin Anxiang found Yang Chen intriguing, fitting the romantic hero described in ancient poetry.
"I’m Lin Anxiang. Next time we meet, you must keep your promise to add me as a friend," Lin Anxiang said.
Yang Chen nodded and said, "No problem! If we meet again, it’s destiny. A fateful encounter arranged by the heavens, I must accept it and will definitely add you as friends. Enjoy your meal, we’re leaving."
With that, Yang Chen left.
The diners began whispering.
"No wonder even the restaurant owner gives him face, truly one of a kind."
"Exactly, such beautiful twins wanting to add him as a friend, yet he refuses, using such an elusive excuse as a reason."
"This is the world of the big shots, they don’t lack women, so naturally, they won’t be like ordinary people, unable to move when they see beauties."
"These twins are really stunning, whoever can win both of them will surely soar high, living life to the fullest."
...
Yang Chen drove Yuan Xiaozao’s family back to her new home, just as Zhang Jieying received a call from the hospital director at the gate of the community.
The director was very angry, saying, "Dr. Zhang, was there a need to do this? The hospital had no choice, you must understand. Why bring in Zhang Xiang to sue us? Even if you’re dissatisfied, we could have discussed it privately. Did it have to come to this?"
Zhang Jieying was even angrier, saying, "Didn’t I discuss it with you? You all kept making excuses not to see me. It wasn’t my fault, the hospital should have supported me firmly. You all sacrificed me to resolve the problem quickly, now I’m defending my legal rights, what’s wrong with that? Don’t tell me, tell the lawyer. I’ve already enlisted Zhang Xiang as my attorney to handle this fully."
Director: "Dr. Zhang, no need to make this difficult. This could have been resolved quietly, and once things blew over, we could have recommended you to other hospitals. But if you persist, I guarantee no hospital in the country will take you! Try me if you don’t believe it, see if I mean what I say."
Zhang Jieying: "What do you mean? Are you threatening me?"
Director: "Think as you like, but that’s all I have to say, handle it yourself."
With that, the director hung up the phone.
Yuan Xiaozao quickly asked, "Mom, what’s wrong?"
Zhang Jieying: "The director called to blame me for hiring a lawyer to sue the hospital, and threatened that if I insist on doing so, no hospital in the country will hire me, and he will make sure of it."
