Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 34: Zhang Hengzhi Leads People to Block Yang Chen

Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Zhang Hengzhi Leads People to Block Yang Chen

Soon, the staff at the maintenance shop completed the odor removal work.

Mr. Yang paid the bill and immediately drove away.

Opening the door to encounter such a weirdo, Mr. Yang was quite displeased.

But after receiving two system rewards consecutively, his mood brightened up again.

Yang Chen remained busy until five o’clock in the evening, before stopping to accept more orders and heading home.

Upon arriving at his doorstep, Yang Chen noticed some chef-like individuals waiting outside the gate.

There were also lots of ingredients, kitchenware, and the like at the entrance.

Yang Chen stopped his car, opened the window, and asked, "What’s going on here, everyone?"

The leading figure, presumably the head chef, quickly replied, "Are you Mr. Yang? We were instructed by Miss Xue to wait here for your return, and then prepare a sumptuous dinner for you and Miss Xue."

When he left in the morning, Yang Chen did invite Xue Yinong and Li Lianxin to come over for dinner at night.

But Yang Chen simply imagined Li Lianxin making a few simple dishes, not expecting them to go to such lengths.

They even specially invited several chefs to cook; it seems Xue Yinong’s family is quite something.

Yang Chen quickly opened the electric gate, drove in first, and then ushered the chefs to bring the items into the kitchen.

When the system rewarded the villa to Yang Chen, it had already equipped him with all necessary daily supplies.

The chefs gazed at the fully equipped kitchen in awe.

"Oh my god, this guy has everything; he’s more professional than us."

"All premium brands! Oh my god, this kitchen knife is a Nesmuk; it’s said that one of these knives costs 600,000."

"Even the faucet is made of gold, isn’t it?"

"These utensils are so exquisite. They’re antiques, aren’t they?"

...

Seeing the assistants and apprentices acting like they’ve never seen the world, head chef Zhang Junhao promptly advised, "Be careful everyone, don’t damage anything. I sense these utensils are not ordinary; they might all be antiques, with patterns akin to the blue-and-white porcelain I saw at Miss Xue’s home before. I’m warning you all, keep your wits about you. If you scratch or bump into anything, there’ll be dire consequences. Understand?"

The assistants and apprentices quickly nodded in response.

"This feels like being imprisoned just to cook."

"Anyone Miss Xue values so much certainly isn’t ordinary."

"I always thought Miss Xue’s family was wealthy enough, didn’t expect someone even wealthier. Tsk tsk... I don’t even dare to use this gold faucet. If I scrape off a little gold dust, will he blame me?"

...

At this moment, Yang Chen arrived.

"Chefs, is there anything missing? I can go buy it now," Yang Chen said with a smile.

Head chef Zhang Junhao quickly replied, "Nothing is missing! Mr. Yang has everything here more complete than our kitchen, nothing lacks. Please rest, we’ll call you once it’s ready."

Yang Chen nodded, "Alright! Thanks a lot, everyone."

Yang Chen went upstairs, took a bath, and changed clothes before coming back down.

At this time, Xue Yinong and Li Lianxin arrived.

Li Lianxin was carrying Moutai and Romanée-Conti.

If it’s auction-level Romanée-Conti, a bottle costs over a million.

Clearly, Xue Yinong put in a great effort to connect with this mysterious wealthy heir Yang Chen.

Yang Chen approached to greet the two, "Miss Xue, Aunt Lan, welcome to my humble abode. Your presence truly graces my place."

Xue Yinong smiled faintly, exuding the elegance of a lady from a noble family, and replied, "It’s our honor to visit Mr. Yang."

"I originally thought Aunt Lan would just prepare some home-cooked meals, didn’t expect Miss Xue to take it so seriously and invite chefs over," Yang Chen said with a smile.

"They are chefs from our family’s hotel, and I temporarily brought them over. Mr. Yang, please don’t mind, they often come over to cook for me," Xue Yinong replied.

Yang Chen nodded, inviting them to sit down.

In this short while, Li Lianxin had already scoured Yang Chen’s living room with her eyes.

Though the most striking items appeared to be the luxurious chandelier and decorations, the most valuable are the paintings hung on the walls.

If those are genuine, each painting is worth several million to tens of millions.

A person capable of such extravagance surely has unimaginable assets.

Once the three were seated, the kitchen began serving the dishes.

True to being chefs from a grand hotel, their prepared dishes were truly a feast for the senses.

Even a simple dish like "Ants Climbing a Tree" or Beef Stew with Potatoes looked better than those served in regular restaurants.

Primarily, the ingredients used were very exquisite.

Top-grade Wagyu beef, tuna, and even farm-raised Chinese giant salamanders were included.

Soon, the entire table was filled with dishes.

Yang Chen invited Li Lianxin to sit and join, but she did not dare to, opting to stay outside with the chefs, allowing Yang Chen and Xue Yinong to enjoy the dinner exclusively.

Xue Yinong was eager to learn Yang Chen’s true identity but couldn’t inquire directly, so she continuously asked probing questions.

Xue Yinong: "What does Mr. Yang like to eat? I wonder if these dishes suit your taste?"

Yang Chen: "Don’t laugh at me, Miss Xue; I used to eat well when I was young, but later on, not so much. Since I graduated college, this is the best meal I’ve had."

Xue Yinong thought to herself, "It seems he is indeed the wealthy heir of a mysterious family. His life was great at home, but it got worse when he stepped out into the world."

In truth, Yang Chen meant his life was wonderful when his parents were around.

After they were gone, he lived sparingly to save money to marry Zhao Feifei, and didn’t eat anything good.

But to Xue Yinong’s ears, the meaning changed.

Xue Yinong: "What kind of car does Mr. Yang like? I noticed you used to drive a Buick, then switched to a Passat."

She deliberately mentioned Passat, knowing full well that Yang Chen was driving a Phaeton.

Yang Chen: "Of course, I love sports cars! But I can’t drive one given my current status; maybe I’ll have to wait a bit longer."

Xue Yinong thought, "No doubt he’s undergoing family training now, so he can’t drive flashy sports cars. But once he completes his training, he’ll resume the identity of a family scion, and can drive a sports car. Just like in novels, after three years, he returns home to inherit the family fortune."

...

Xue Yinong probed with over a dozen questions, and Yang Chen answered truthfully each time, although she misinterpreted the meanings.

After dinner, Xue Yinong invited Yang Chen for a walk.

A walk helps with digestion, so Yang Chen agreed.

The chefs tidied up the table and kitchen quickly and left.

Then, Yang Chen locked the door, and followed Xue Yinong out for a stroll.

Unknowingly, the two walked out of the community.

This is a villa area, and such places have one characteristic: they’re quiet, to put it plainly, they’re secluded.

The duo had no idea how long they walked, engrossed in their conversation, when suddenly a group of people emerged from the landscape trees ahead.

Upon closer look, Yang Chen discovered that several of them were Zhang Hengzhi’s men.

Evidently, Zhang Hengzhi made good on his promise to find someone to attack Yang Chen under the cover of darkness.

"Where is Zhang Hengzhi? Hiding in the dark, too afraid to come out and face me?" Yang Chen shouted loudly.

At this moment, Zhang Hengzhi emerged from the shadows beneath the road’s landscape trees.

"Little thief, you’re truly unlucky; I’ve been waiting for you since day one. I originally thought you’d drive out in a sports car, but here you are on foot. Tough luck for you, you’re in for some suffering tonight," Zhang Hengzhi said arrogantly.

Xue Yinong quickly asked, "Who are you people? Don’t you know his identity?"

Zhang Hengzhi laughed heartily, "Pretty lady, you’re quite beautiful. Listen up, I won’t change my name or secret my surname. I’m Zhang Hengzhi, my dad is Zhang Yaowu, the chairman of Yao Wu Group. I don’t want to drag you into our grievances. Stand aside and don’t meddle; I won’t harm you. As for his identity, huh, isn’t he just the second shareholder of Peninsula Hotel? I fear nothing. Once my family’s company goes public, we’ll have billion-dollar assets; would I be afraid of some second shareholder of Peninsula Hotel?"

Xue Yinong revealed a disdainful smile, thinking, "Foolish, truly blind like a dog’s eye, couldn’t recognize him as the scion of a hidden family. Driving a Phaeton as a ride-share driver, living in a mansion over 400 million, his home furniture and decorations alone are worth more than the villa itself. Such a person merely being the second shareholder of Peninsula Hotel? Utter stupidity. This is a great opportunity to gain favor with him."
