Chapter 509 - 227: Just Let Him Jump Around for Two More Days
Fang Yingqi reluctantly pushed her mom out of the room and lay on the bed, staring blankly.
After a while, he sent a message to Yang Chen.
"My second aunt set me up with some rich kid from an investment company, but I don’t want to go. But my mom says if I don’t, it’ll be a loss of face for the adults. What should I do?"
At that moment, Yang Chen was busy with a passenger and just glanced at the message without replying.
After dropping off the passenger, Yang Chen picked up his phone to respond.
"If you don’t want to go, then don’t. Which investment company is he from?"
Fang Yingqi quickly replied.
"They said something like Jiacheng Investment. Anyway, it sounds like that. They also said he’s an MIT master’s degree holder and has excellent qualifications in every aspect. I’m not interested at all, don’t even want to meet him."
"Could it really be such a coincidence?" Yang Chen thought.
Yang Chen replied: "It’s right not to go, that guy is just a show-off."
Fang Yingqi: "Ah, you know him? Then I definitely won’t go. Don’t worry, even if you don’t want me in the future, I absolutely won’t marry someone you know, to spare you the embarrassment."
Wow, what an understanding girl.
Yang Chen: "Since you’re so sensible, come out for dinner tonight, I’ll reward you."
Fang Yingqi: "Really? Then I won’t be shy with you. Time and place."
Yang Chen: "Eight o’clock, Tang Pavilion, I’ll take you to eat food prepared by a Michelin three-star chef."
Fang Yingqi: "Okay. Hee hee... It’s settled then, see you at eight tonight."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen continued driving.
Around noon, after dropping off a passenger, Yang Chen prepared to have lunch.
At that moment, a provocatively dressed girl in black stockings walked over.
Why say she’s provocative?
She deliberately walked by sticking her chest and butt out, as if to highlight them.
"Hey handsome, can I buy you a bottle of water?" the girl in black stockings asked.
Yang Chen never randomly eats or drinks outside, especially when a woman suddenly appears and offers him a drink. Better to be cautious.
"Thanks, but I’m not thirsty right now," Yang Chen replied.
The girl shoved a half bottle of water from a brand called "Farmer’s Three Punch" at Yang Chen and then deliberately stepped back a few steps out of his reach.
Instinctively, Yang Chen tossed the bottle back to her saying, "I don’t know what you’re up to, but please don’t harass me."
Unexpectedly, the girl in black stockings suddenly changed her expression, pouted, put her hands on her hips, glared at Yang Chen for a few seconds, then picked up the bottle and threw it back, loudly saying, "Sir, please don’t litter. Hai City is my home, and its beauty depends on all of us! Hmph!"
She exaggeratedly flipped her hair and then turned to walk towards a man filming not far away.
When the man finished filming, she quickly ran over to ask, "How was it? Did we get a good shot?"
The man replied with a smile, "Very good. We’ll just need to edit it a bit, then it could become a positive energy video of you teaching him not to litter after he threw a bottle at you."
Yang Chen got out of the car and walked over, but the pair turned and ran upon seeing him.
They ran off, laughing as if they had gotten away with something naughty.
Yang Chen chuckled and said, "Couple of idiots, don’t they know my car has surveillance and recording devices? Damn, everyone wants to play on Douyin, wanting to become online celebrities, utterly fools."
Who knows when the government will put a policy in place to sort out this craze where everyone wants to be an internet celebrity, with young people reluctant to work and all streaming under bridges.
Now every industry is streaming, even sex workers are soliciting clients online.
If this goes on, what hope is there for the future?
After returning home, the couple quickly edited the video and uploaded it to a Douyin account named "White Dew on the Black Forest" around 5 PM.
This account had 658,000 followers, making it somewhat of an online influencer.
After posting the video, the female influencer also spent money to promote it using DOU+.
Soon, the video started gaining some traction on Douyin.
Many large public and personal accounts with many followers reposted the video, and many netizens flocked to leave comments criticizing Yang Chen and praising the female streamer.
"It’s understandable, he’s driving a ride-hailing car; what kind of class could he have? If he was classy, would he be driving a ride-hailing car? I really admire the streamer’s courage; if it were me, I might not dare to do it."
"These kinds of positive energy videos deserve more traffic, so more people believe that we need to have the courage to challenge uncivil behavior, knowing we have millions of netizens backing us up!"
"This handsome guy looks pretty nice, so why is he so rude? What a waste of a good face."
"Why does this guy look familiar to me? Could it be staged? I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere."
...
Yang Chen had already made preparations on his end.
He was waiting for the video to go viral and have a significant impact before taking action.
First, Yang Chen had Zhou Zhenyi, Li Qinqin, and other company influencers upload the car’s video and audio recordings online, and they also purchased DOU+ promotion.
Then, Zhang Xiang posted on Weibo announcing that he was officially representing Yang Chen to sue the female influencer for creating fake videos through false accusation and editing to gain traffic, which resulted in reputational damage to the subject, Mr. Yang.
Zhang Xiang has tens of millions of followers, so his post had much greater reach, not even needing to buy extra traffic for more impact than Zhou Zhenyi and the others.
