Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 685: Chapter 659: Who Is More Miserable

The salesperson was overjoyed when she heard Ye Chen’s words.

An eighty-million-dollar watch, her commission would be equivalent to a year’s salary.

The attendant packed the watch for Ye Chen with almost an excited demeanor, then respectfully handed it to Ye Chen.

”Mr. Ye, this watch is now yours. You’ve become our lifetime gold member. If your watch has any issues, you can come to our sales department, and we will do our utmost to assist you.”

Ye Chen nodded with a smile and left the watch store with Su Wanyi.

At this moment, the ”King Bi” Su Li was stunned as he watched Ye Chen’s back.

Then, the salesperson cheerfully asked, ”Sir, do you still want the twenty-million-dollar watch?”

Su Li blushed: ”Never mind, I don’t want it.”

With that, Su Li left with his Third Mistress in disgrace.

Ye Chen and Su Wanyi finished their meal and then drove Su Wanyi back to the hotel.

Nowadays, it’s becoming very difficult to get a Five-Star Review for DiDi tasks, possibly because of a system upgrade.

The system now has a Five-Star Mall.

Complete system tasks and earn a Five-Star reward to spend system points.

Points can be used to buy things in the mall.

Ye Chen was driving DiDi, and shortly after starting, he encountered a reporter.

Recently, a DiDi Brother became famous online for driving ten-hour videos a day to treat his daughter’s illness.

This reporter received an interview assignment to interview DiDi Brother.

These past few days, the reporter has interviewed many DiDi drivers.

Basically, the feeling was one of misery.

DiDi Brothers work long hours, often more than ten hours a day.

Sometimes they encounter unreasonable customers and even get complaints.

The long hours of driving have caused cervical spine issues.

...

Overall, the theme of the interview was that DiDi drivers have it tough.

The reporter was quite proud.

Seeing Ye Chen driving DiDi gave him a sense of pride.

Look at how beautiful his own life was, sitting in an office, writing news articles, while DiDi drivers have such miserable lives.

He was already planning to interview the last DiDi driver and then release the news article.

The reporter began the interview: ”DiDi Brother, driving must be very exhausting, right?”

Ye Chen: ”Not tiring at all. I just drive for a little over two hours a day, the rest of the time I’m resting.”

”Ah?” The reporter was taken aback.

Still, he smirked: ”Driving for only two hours doesn’t earn a lot, does it? Is your life tough?”

Ye Chen sighed: ”Well, it’s okay.”

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, the reporter smirked.

He had already thought of a miserable story about a DiDi driver who, due to a lack of effort, could only eat buns and sleep in a low-rent apartment every day.

”By the way, brother, where are you?”

”Me? In the west of the city.”

”Oh, is it the shantytown area of the west city?”

Ye Chen glanced at the other and shook his head: ”What shantytown area? I live in Rose Manor.”

Rose Manor? Was there ever a shabby district with this name?

He suddenly remembered interviewing a tycoon who lived in Rose Manor.

Can’t be possible; how could a DiDi driver in a Geely live in Rose Manor? Must be bragging.

The reporter continued to ask: ”Brother, you make so little money driving DiDi, how can you live in Rose Manor – that’s funny.”

”Who said that? Driving DiDi is just my main job, I actually have many side businesses.”

”What kind of side businesses?” the reporter asked curiously.

”For instance, I have over a hundred school zone properties, several buildings in Tangchen Yipin, and I occasionally collect rent and drink tea.”

In truth, Ye Chen was only mentioning his lowest sources of income; if he said he was the owner of the Financial Mansion, the other would probably wet themselves.

Upon hearing this, the reporter snorted: ”Bragging, right? How could a DiDi Brother have properties in Tangchen Yipin? And over a hundred school zone houses? I struggle, waking early and sleeping late, just to afford a fifty-something-square-meter school zone house.”

”Then why are you so rich but still drive a Geely for DiDi,” the reporter sneered.

Ye Chen shook his head: ”My Geely is different; the car body is made of tank armor material, the glass is bulletproof, the only downside is it consumes a lot of gas.”

Reporter: ”...”

This guy’s exaggerations are through the roof.

At this moment, Ye Chen’s phone rang.

Since Ye Chen was driving, he was using hands-free.

”Boss, this is Little Hu. By the way, the rent for our Financial Mansion was ten billion this year, I’ve transferred it to your account, check it later.”

The reporter sitting beside him trembled with shock.

Then Ye Chen’s phone immediately notified: ”Your card number ending in 8270 received $1120000888.”

The reporter’s pen for recording the news article instantly fell to the ground.

Ye Chen, still driving, casually said: ”Actually, I think driving DiDi is great. Even if I earn less, I get to meet people in various professions, all very interesting. By the way, reporter, do you have anything else to interview about?”

The reporter’s outlook on life was utterly overturned.

He used to look down on DiDi drivers.

Although he was warm during interviews, his eyes held a pitying look.

But after meeting Ye Chen, his worldview drastically changed.

Ye Chen was truly remarkable.

He was practically a super mogul.

At this point, Ye Chen stopped at a traffic light.

A Cadillac stopped next to Ye Chen’s car, the window rolled down, and a man popped his head out and said to Ye Chen: ”Mr. Ye is driving DiDi again.”

”Hmm, yeah, to make life more colorful, I have to run DiDi.”

”Amazing, Mr. Ye, let’s have lunch together sometime.”

”No problem.”

”Mr. Ye, I’ll head off first, waiting for your call!”

Driving, the big-shot reporter suddenly froze.

Wasn’t that Ma Papa from Ah-Li Baba?

Oh gosh, Ma Papa was inviting a DiDi driver to lunch.

The reporter was dumbfounded; how on earth should he write this news article?

Should he just write about a DiDi driver casually collecting rent of ten billion, owning a house in Rose Manor, having a hundred school zone properties, and some in Tangchen Yipin?

What originally was a sad story suddenly became the story of a wealthy DiDi driver.

Ye Chen drove to the TV station: ”Mr. Reporter, next time you’re welcome to continue interviewing me, I’ll provide more material.”

The reporter’s mouth twitched: ”Interview you? Heck, I never want to feel defeated again.”

This world is so unfair; someone could earn ten billion in savings just by driving DiDi for two hours a day, while he struggles to pay off a fifty-square-meter mortgage, living like a dog, waking early and sleeping late.

Looking at his news article: ”The Miserable Story of a DiDi Brother.”

Miserable, who is more miserable than him, starting work with over three hundred thousand loans?

Waking earlier than a rooster and sleeping later than a dog to pay off his loan.

Compared to that DiDi Brother just now, he was miserably defeated.

Silently, he deleted the news article and sighed.

Turns out every industry has its hidden dragons and crouching tigers, he should never underestimate any profession again.
