Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 230 - 155: Three Years of Hard Work, and in the End Not Even Qualified to Speak to Yang Chen

Chapter 230: Chapter 155: Three Years of Hard Work, and in the End Not Even Qualified to Speak to Yang Chen

Yang Chen’s words were like a sharp blade cutting Chen Liang’s heart over and over again; a mere worker trying to show off in front of a big boss who owns a skyscraper—just saying it would make people laugh.

Liang Xiuyun looked embarrassed, taking the initiative to invite Yang Chen for dinner, only to be refused.

So, she turned around and rolled her eyes at Chen Liang.

Chen Liang was dumbfounded.

He thought he hadn’t done anything, so why was the boss rolling her eyes at him again?

Huh?

The problem was he hadn’t done anything.

The boss invited Yang Chen for dinner, Yang Chen said he wanted to have dinner with Chen Liang and them instead, and at this moment, if Chen Liang had been more quick-witted, should he not have proactively invited the boss to join their dinner?

Just a simple sentence could have eliminated the boss’s embarrassment and allowed her to dine with Yang Chen as she wished. How could he not see such a great opportunity to show his competence? It’s no wonder the boss rolled her eyes at him! 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Zhang Chunfa laughed heartily, saying, "Mr. Chen, why don’t you invite us to join your dinner too?"

Chen Liang then realized and quickly nodded, saying, "Yes, yes, President Liang and President Zhang should come along too."

Liang Xiuyun glared at Chen Liang with sharp eyes, then smiled and asked Yang Chen, "President Yang, I wonder if it’s convenient for you?"

"This is Chen Liang’s group’s dinner. If he thinks it’s okay, then it’s okay. I won’t comment," Yang Chen replied with a smile.

Liang Xiuyun: "Haha... Alright then, thank you, President Yang, for gracing us with your presence. Let’s go to the private room now. It’s quite hot outside; let’s chat in the room."

Yang Chen smiled and nodded. Liang Xiuyun and Zhang Chunfa accompanied him left and right as they walked ahead, while others followed behind.

"Wow, I didn’t expect Brother Chen to be so amazing. He’s really low-key."

"Brother Chen was originally like this. No matter how outstanding he is, he is always good at hiding and never shows off."

"That’s true. Back in school, he seemed indifferent, yet he always won. We had no choice but to accept it."

...

These words made Chen Liang’s heart ache.

Yang Chen was indifferent, while Chen Liang desired everything. Yet in the end, Yang Chen always succeeded, and Chen Liang always failed—how miserable!

He thought he would return triumphant after three years of enduring hardship, only to realize he no longer even had the privilege of speaking with Yang Chen.

Chen Liang, feeling dissatisfied, said, "Brother Chen is so boring, acting poor despite being so capable. He’s always like this, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger—no originality at all."

Zhang Yang quickly defended Yang Chen, saying, "But we didn’t give him a chance to speak. Ever since we met, you all praised Brother Liang and gave Brother Chen almost no chance to talk. The only time he spoke was when he admitted to being an online driver. But he already said he was an online driver now, he didn’t try to deceive us. We just didn’t expect he was experiencing life."

Everyone nodded. That’s really how the process went.

The blame lies with Chen Liang for being so consistent in showing off, doing so from the moment they met until Brother Chen returned from the lake, never giving Brother Chen a chance to speak.

Chen Liang cursed in his heart, "Damn it, this group of fence-sitters! They weren’t saying this when they were buttering me up earlier—they didn’t have this attitude! Now they see I’ve lost, and they’re all showing a different face. Damn it!"

Everyone arrived at the private room, and the kitchen began serving dishes.

Chen Liang, with scheming thoughts to show off, brought in the freshly caught and delivered bighead carp from Qiandao Lake, along with two or three dozen pounds of chopped pepper fish heads.

And honestly, it looked mouth-watering.

Initially, Chen Liang thought he should sit at the head of the table for this dinner, with others pouring wine for him.

But now, he had become the wine commander, not only needing to pour wine for everyone but also toasting to Yang Chen and the other two.

Chen Liang picked up his wine glass, saying, "President Liang, I toast to you."

Liang Xiuyun’s eyes widened with anger, saying, "Do you have any sense? With President Yang here, how can you toast me first? I’ve said before that your abilities aren’t sufficient for this position, and that you need more training at the grassroots level. But you were unwilling and persuaded my daughter to plead for you to get the vice president position. Do you think you’re qualified for this position? I took on significant pressure to promote you to vice president, yet you don’t even understand the basic social etiquette. How can I continue to let you be vice president?"

Zhang Yang and others exchanged glances, hearing that the implication was to remove Chen Liang from the vice president position.

It turned out he rose through his relationship with a woman, even though he boasted as if he were exceptional.

Chen Liang quickly said to Yang Chen, "Yang... Brother Chen, I toast to you."

Yang Chen waved his hand, signaling him to sit down, then said, "We’re all family, no need to be so formal. Honestly, after dining with my classmates from university before, I suddenly felt it was quite pointless to show off in front of classmates. Thinking back now to the times I rinsed my mouth with two bottles of good wine pretending to show off seems quite amusing. Being classmates, gathering is fate – many classmates we may never see again in our lifetime. Reminiscing about the past and discussing the present and future is nice. No need to settle past school disputes here and now; it’s quite meaningless. I mean, who hasn’t been young and impulsive? Good times, bad times, happy times, sad times—they’re all part of the youth we can never return to. Even with rivals, isn’t it interesting to sit and reminisce scenes of our mutual battles from the past? I haven’t always won; I’ve lost too, and my worst loss was with my college girlfriend, Zhao Feifei. But now I’m over it; the past is past. Today, you call me Brother Chen, and I’ll continue being your leader. If there’s anything, just say it, your leader will look out for you. Alright, let’s forget our calculations and everyone toast this glass."
