Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints

Chapter 374 - 192: Li Xiang Made the First Move

Early in the morning, multiple media outlets exposed Li Dengfeng’s illegal activities involving investments in coal mines.

Relevant departments took immediate action, capturing several suspects, including Li Dengfeng.

Li Xiang quickly sought help from bigwigs in politics and business, promising them more profits if they just saved his son.

The bigwigs had earned a lot of money through Li Xiang, and they were also worried that he might not concentrate on managing funds due to his son’s issues, which could lead to their losses.

They hurried to action, doing their utmost to get Li Dengfeng out.

...

A happy day starts with picking up passengers.

Yang Chen followed the GPS to the pickup point where two female white-collar workers checked the license plate before getting in the car.

One is named Jin Ming, the other Huang Xiaomin.

Jin Ming is a goddess-level trader known in the investment circle, her long, dark hair is her trademark—by Yang Chen’s aesthetic standards, she’s at least a 98 out of 100.

Primarily, she carries an aloof aura that makes her seem unapproachable.

Huang Xiaomin is a friend of Jin Ming, claims to be a plus-size beauty, but she’s actually just a little chubby.

Both are traders at Kes Investment, heading to a job fair today hosted by the renowned domestic firm Puri Investment to recruit two traders.

People always aim higher, wanting to work for better companies.

At this moment, a Porsche 911 stopped in front of Yang Chen’s car.

The owner was a young man with a buzz cut, ear studs, and tattoos on his neck.

Yang Chen thought, could it be trouble this early?

Huang Xiaomin whispered, "Li Sheng is here again. He’s really persistent. Maybe you should just accept him; I think he’s sincere."

Jin Ming’s eyes were cold and impatient, "I don’t like people like him at all; I’ve told him many times, yet he still pesters me. It’s really annoying. He thinks just because he has money, all girls should accept him—it’s disgusting."

The Porsche owner, Li Sheng, gestured for Yang Chen to open the rear window.

Yang Chen sensed they knew each other, so he opened the rear window.

"Jin Ming, why don’t you get in my car? I can take you anywhere you want," Li Sheng said obsequiously.

Jin Ming replied coldly, "No need, we’ve already called a car. It’d be an inconvenience. We’re rushing to Jinjiang Financial Mansion for an interview. Don’t waste our time."

Li Sheng laughed and said, "What a coincidence! My mom works over there. Which company are you interviewing with, and for what position? Maybe she could inquire about it."

Jin Ming: "No need, thank you. Please don’t waste our time, okay?"

Huang Xiaomin: "We are going to an interview at Puri Investment; it’s a rare opportunity, don’t waste our time. Please, please."

Li Sheng laughed again and said, "See, isn’t this fate? I said we have a connection, but you didn’t believe me. My mom is a deputy general manager at Puri Investment. You’re applying for trader positions, you’d definitely be working under her. Let’s do this, I’ll give my mom a call and have her directly hire you both."

Jin Ming and Huang Xiaomin exchanged glances—isn’t it too much of a coincidence?

Jin Ming thought the long-desired Puri Investment suddenly lost its appeal.

If Jin Ming got hired, she would have to work under Li Sheng’s mother, giving him endless opportunities to bother her.

But Puri Investment is indeed many times stronger than Kes Investment; such a golden opportunity can’t just be let go.

Jin Ming: "We don’t need your help; we want to get in on our own merits. If we deserve it, fine; if not, then not. We don’t want any shortcuts. If our skills aren’t up to Puri’s standards, even if we get in by luck, we’d eventually be let go. That’s enough, you go about your own business. We really need to head out—missing the interview is one thing, but messing up the driver’s peak-time pickups isn’t good either."

Li Sheng nodded awkwardly and said, "Why not ride in my car? It goes faster, I guarantee you won’t be late for the interview."

"Driver, please drive!" Jin Ming said angrily.

Yang Chen nodded and said, "Buddy, can you step away from the window? I’m going to drive."

Li Sheng, irate, glared at Yang Chen and said, "Drive carefully and stay safe!"

Yang Chen backed up and maneuvered around Li Sheng’s Porsche 911, heading towards Jinjiang Financial Mansion.

Jin Ming: "It’s so annoying! How can someone be so shameless? I’ve clearly rejected him, yet he keeps it up."

Huang Xiaomin: "Well, you are the goddess of the investment world. Who wouldn’t want to win you over? Hehe..."

As they chatted, Li Sheng drove his Porsche past them with a small swerve, swerving around a few cars, reaching the traffic light first to wait.

Huang Xiaomin: "Driving a sports car is so brazen, look at how cocky he is."

Jin Ming: "Immature!"

After the light, Li Sheng deliberately slowed down to let Yang Chen catch up, then sped ahead again, repeatedly showing off his Porsche.

Yang Chen finally couldn’t take it: "Miss, why don’t you call him and talk? What he’s doing is dangerous, if he doesn’t mind his own life, the three of us shouldn’t be dragged down with him."

Jin Ming’s face flushed with anger, and she immediately took out her phone and called Li Sheng.

Jin Ming: "What are you doing? Is that how you drive? Don’t you know you’re affecting others’ driving with your antics?"

Li Sheng: "I’m driving a sports car; why would I follow a bunch of sedans slowly? I’m fast, what’s wrong with overtaking?"
