Chapter 456 - 214: Today Is a Day for Doing Good Deeds
Woman: "Two million? We only have 360,000 in savings at home, where are you getting two million to give me? Selling the house? But you don’t want the kids. I’m taking two sons, and with two million, how can I raise them in Hai City? How am I going to buy them a house and get them married in the future?"
Man: "It’s not that I don’t want the kids, it’s that Xiaoxin clearly said she can’t have children, otherwise she won’t be with me. And she’s pregnant now, so if I take the kids with me, the pressure is huge for me too. I have to support my parents, a pregnant woman, and then the sons. Are you trying to kill me with exhaustion?"
Geez, isn’t this guy a total jerk?
Yang Chen was feeling restless and wanted to chime in with his opinion, but he held back. There’s a saying "even an honest officiant can’t resolve family matters," and as a ride-share driver he should stay out of it.
Even if the man is a jerk, the woman still doesn’t want a divorce from him. As an observer, Yang Chen should just keep his opinions to himself.
The man was getting a bit impatient with the woman’s pestering, and said, "Aren’t we there yet? Driver, where are you taking us on detours?"
Yang Chen: "Sorry, following the GPS route would have been a bit congested, causing delays and ruining everyone’s mood. This way is longer, but it’s smooth sailing, and everyone feels better. Rest assured, I’ll refund you the difference, I won’t charge you extra for the ride."
Man: "Then drive faster! You’re going slower than a snail, can’t you tell we’re rushing to get a divorce?"
Woman: "Why are you being so rude to the driver? Can’t you see he’s intentionally taking longer so we can talk things through?"
Man: "Of course I can see that, which is why I’m being rude. Just focus on driving, no need to meddle!"
At that moment, the man’s phone rang.
He quickly said, "Everyone be quiet, this is an important client calling me, don’t ruin my chance."
Then he picked up the call.
Man: "Hello, Manager Tang. Hey, rest assured, I guarantee everything will meet hygiene standards. Yes, the entry fee is three million, and then we’ll give you two million annually. Of course, we’ll provide free meals for all the staff at the management office. Don’t worry, we’ll have dishes from both the north and south, everyone in the building will be happy with our meals. Yes, yes, I’ll come by Haisang Financial Mansion to meet you later. Haha... alright, alright, see you soon."
Haisang Financial Mansion?
Isn’t that Yang Chen’s company?
From the man’s words, it seems he’s going to take over the cafeteria at Haisang Financial Mansion.
According to the building management statistics, the total number of people at Haisang Financial Mansion stays between 3,500 to 4,000.
Even if only a thousand people eat at the cafeteria, that’s at least a daily revenue of 20,000.
Excluding holidays, that’s over 7 million in annual revenue, with a fifty percent profit margin, he’d net over 3 million a year.
In reality, he’d earn much more than that, easily making a few million a year.
No wonder he’s changing wives. Some men, the first thing they do when they get rich is to change their wives.
After hanging up, the man was extremely happy, and said, "The Haisang Financial Mansion cafeteria deal is settled, so you can rest easy now. I’ll give you some support money as I see fit, to help you raise the two sons."
Woman: "What do you mean by helping me raise the two sons? Aren’t they your sons? They have your last name Liu, not my last name Wang!"
Man: "It doesn’t matter, since they’re with you, I’ll see about giving you more support money. But first, you have to cooperate with the divorce and stop causing trouble for me and Xiaoli. Xiaoxin is pregnant, you can’t upset her."
Woman: "She wrecked my family as a mistress, and I’m not allowed to upset her? Am I just supposed to end up like this?"
Man: "I’m warning you, if you don’t listen, you won’t get a penny in the future. Things have already reached this point, don’t think about getting back together. Okay? Driver, can you drive faster, damn it? Who told you to take a detour? Mind your own business!"
Yang Chen: "Dude, watch your mouth! A woman who has been with you for fifteen years, working tirelessly to give you children, taking care of parents and family, and now you want a divorce just because you contracted a cafeteria? Are you even human?"
Man: "Hey! You wanna fight? Just you wait, today’s rating and complaint are on you! What about you, a lousy ride-share driver, do you have the right to interfere? You’re already scraping by in the lower rungs of society driving rideshares, don’t you know to keep a low profile, and you dare to play the hero? What, with the few thousand bucks you earn in gas money a month? Once my contract with Haisang Financial Mansion is signed, I earn a minimum of 3 million net profit a year. Where do you get off judging my life?"
Woman: "What are you doing? Why are you taking it out on the driver? I’m sorry, driver sir, please don’t stoop to his level. I’m really sorry for the scene."
Yang Chen laughed and said, "It’s okay, I really like watching a good show, especially when it involves someone with a dead heart and full of regret."
Man: "Alright! Stop babbling! You, as a ride-share driver, just drive the car properly, don’t try to act all high and mighty. Geez, everyone thinks they can act tough these days without looking at whether they have the qualifications."
Finally reaching the civil affairs bureau, the man shot Yang Chen a glare and said, "Prepare to get a bad rating and complaint. Mind your own business!"
