Chapter 510 - 227: Just Let Him Bounce Around for Two More Days_2
Soon, things took a turn, and the angry netizens flocked to the female influencer’s Douyin to condemn her.
"Wow, you guys are unbelievable! I thought it was a script, but it turns out you’re even more vicious than a script, just picking a ride-hailing driver off the street to perform."
"Are you guys desperate to get famous? Even if you want to act out a script, at least find someone on your side to play along. Do you think you can just pick a random ride-hailing driver and play like that, treating people like they’re made of clay?"
"You idiot, dresing even more provocatively than a prostitute every day. If you can’t get famous, stop being so stubborn and go find a factory to screw screws."
"You’re done for, this account can’t be saved, and you’ll probably get sent to the detention center by Zhang Xiang for a few days. Tsk tsk tsk... you should’ve chosen more carefully, now you’re in real trouble. Just waiting for Douyin to shut down your account and for the police to make an announcement, let’s see how many days you’ll be detained."
...
Handling just a small influencer with a few hundred thousand followers clearly doesn’t need to be this elaborate.
Yang Chen even wanted Zhang Xiang to take the opportunity to teach some legal knowledge to those influencers, so they wouldn’t mess around with scripts to fool netizens in the future.
If you don’t pursue it, it’s fine. But if you do, none of them will have a good outcome.
This is the real purpose behind Yang Chen’s grand gesture.
After the incident with Guo Minghai, Yang Chen’s awareness has further elevated.
He now understands what "with great power comes great responsibility" means, and what it means to have "higher-level goals" in life, etc.
The time was about right, so Yang Chen drove to Tang Pavilion.
Fang Yingqi had already arrived. When she saw Yang Chen, she immediately complained, "You’re really bad, every time you make me wait for an hour."
Yang Chen glanced at his watch; they had agreed on 8 o’clock, and it was only 7:30 now. He was half an hour early.
"Why did you come so early? Didn’t we agree on eight o’clock?" Yang Chen asked.
Fang Yingqi, a bit shy, replied, "Of course, because I wanted to see you as soon as possible. You heartless scoundrel, don’t you want to see me as soon as possible?"
Yang Chen: "I’m a man; a man’s career comes first. How can I let love affairs delay my work?"
"Hmph! I know! Hurry up and go inside, it’s cold!" Fang Yingqi said coquettishly, pulling Yang Chen into Tang Pavilion.
On the other side, Zhang Jiacheng was feeling frustrated after being rejected by Fang Yingqi.
A master’s student from MIT and the son of Jiacheng Investment’s boss can’t even ask a girl out for dinner?
He had even booked a table at Tang Pavilion just to dine with Fang Yingqi.
Now that she’s not coming, he couldn’t let that table go to waste, right?
Plus, there’s a charity auction this weekend; everyone will be bringing dates, and as the son of Jiacheng Investment, he couldn’t possibly go alone, right?
Thinking it over, Zhang Jiacheng figured he should find a date in advance to avoid scrambling last minute.
This date should not be on the same social standing as him, to avoid any issues when he wants to sever ties.
This date should be like a bootlicker: summoned when needed, discarded when not, and unable or unwilling to resist.
A true experienced rich second-generation never leaves himself trouble when it comes to women.
Zhang Jiacheng thought it over and selected a girl who had approached him outside a bar recently and added him on WeChat.
So, he sent a WeChat message to that girl, inviting her to dinner at Tang Pavilion.
Girls who approach at the sight of a luxury car outside a bar are the easiest to handle; call them over to let off some steam when needed, kick them aside when not. As long as you give them enough money, they won’t even utter a whimper.
Meanwhile, Yang Chen and Fang Yingqi were already enjoying their meal.
Fang Yingqi: "Oh, by the way, there’s a charity auction this weekend. Are you going?"
Yang Chen: "Which organization is hosting it?"
Fang Yingqi: "Minghai Art Gallery along with several charity foundations. I heard there are quite a few good items. Do you want to go take a look?"
Yang Chen shook his head and said, "No, I have to keep driving for the ride-hailing service."
Fang Yingqi rolled her eyes and didn’t bring up the matter again.
Since Minghai Art Gallery provided auction items, it meant Yang Chen had already contributed, and there was no need for him to spend money bidding on items himself, making attendance unnecessary.
While they were eating, Tan Hongkai approached quietly and whispered to Yang Chen, "Mr. Yang, Zhang Jiacheng has arrived with a female companion and is in room 203."
Yang Chen nodded.
Tan Hongkai hurried away.
Yang Chen smiled and said, "Your blind date brought another girl for dinner. They’re in room 203; do you want to say hello?"
Fang Yingqi: "Huh? Really? He’s really not wasting any time. Well, that’s good, my parents won’t feel awkward about it anymore. I’ll take a picture and send it to my mom so she won’t pressure me to date anymore. I’ll be right back, you keep eating."
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, and Fang Yingqi quickly ran off.
Fang Yingqi turned on the video function, went to room 203, knocked twice, and pushed the door open. Inside, Zhang Jiacheng was startled, quickly let go of his female companion, and stood up asking, "You... why are you here? Didn’t you say you weren’t coming?"
Fang Yingqi paused the recording and replied, "I was just testing your sincerity; turns out you’re not sincere at all. You’re just like those other second-generation rich kids I know. There are plenty of women out there. Why go on blind dates and trouble other girls? Alright, enjoy your meal, I won’t disturb you anymore."
With that, Fang Yingqi gave Zhang Jiacheng a provocative wink and left laughing boisterously.
