The Bibi ride-hailing platform doesn't mandate drivers to turn on the air conditioning.
But Yang Chen keeps it on most of the time for the comfort of both himself and his passengers.
However, he no longer wants to offer such service to Wang Lixin, so he directly turned off the air conditioning.
Wang Lixin immediately got angry and questioned, "What are you doing? Why did you turn off the air conditioning again? In such hot weather, do you want to roast us in the car and kill us with the heat?"
Yang Chen coldly replied, "The platform doesn't mandate turning on the air conditioning. If passengers have such needs, they can negotiate with the driver nicely. I'm not an unreasonable driver. If you want the air conditioning on, it's not impossible. Say something nice, make me happy, and I'll turn it on."
Zhang Jiankun instantly got upset, pointed at Yang Chen, and swore, "Damn it, what are you showing off about? If it weren't for the fact that you're Xiaoxin's college classmate, I'd have dealt with you long ago! Damn it! Hurry up and turn on the air conditioner! Don't make me take action!"
"You better not just talk without taking action. Come, hit my temple, hit me to death." Yang Chen retorted unceremoniously.
No man can endure such a counterattack with his girlfriend sitting next to him.
Zhang Jiankun immediately clenched his fist ready to take action, Wang Lixin hurriedly stopped him and persuaded, "Don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive! He's driving the car! If you hit him, and the car loses control, we're all doomed."
Then she whispered in Zhang Jiankun's ear, "We'll talk after getting off the car. However, you can't be too ruthless; otherwise, I'm afraid he'll retaliate against me at future class reunion events."
Zhang Jiankun suppressed his anger, gritted his teeth, and didn't say anything further.
Wang Lixin continued to speak to Yang Chen, "Yang Chen, we're old classmates, I don't want to make things difficult for you. With this kind of service attitude, it's hard for me to give you a good review. Turn on the air conditioning now, and I'll pretend this never happened. Otherwise, I will definitely leave a bad review and file a complaint, and don't blame me then."
Things have already escalated to this point, no matter how Yang Chen serves, he can't escape Wang Lixin's bad review, and he wouldn't believe her nonsense.
Yang Chen chuckled and said, "I just mentioned, the platform doesn't require drivers to turn on the air conditioning. If you want the air conditioning on, say something nice, make me happy, and I'll turn it on. Otherwise, you can just stay hot. As for the bad review and complaint, that's your right, I don't care."
The more Yang Chen acted indifferent, unaffected by anything, the angrier Zhang Jiankun and Wang Lixin became.
It's outrageous for a ride-hailing driver to be so arrogant!
Zhang Jiankun shouted in rage, "Pull over immediately! Quickly!"
"Are you sure? I have both video and audio recordings here, are you sure you want to get off here?" Yang Chen asked in response.
"Yes! Pull over immediately! Right now!" Zhang Jiankun shouted.
Yang Chen nodded, closed the windows, and pulled over to stop the car.
Zhang Jiankun and Wang Lixin got out of the car one on each side.
Then, Zhang Jiankun walked to the driver's seat and angrily knocked on the window and shouted, "Get out! I'm telling you to get out!"
Yang Chen smiled and loudly replied, "It's too hot; you guys can slowly enjoy the summer sunshine!"
With that, Yang Chen floored the gas and sped away.
Zhang Jiankun chased forward a few steps and shouted, "Don't run! Stop the car for me!"
Wang Lixin hurriedly chased and shouted, "Kun Kun, stop chasing! Stop chasing, it's dangerous!"
Only then did Zhang Jiankun stop and kicked the steps beside him.
It was only then that he realized they were on the Huangjiang River Bridge.
Huangjiang River Bridge isn't long, its total length is about 1.8 kilometers.
At this moment, the two of them were right in the middle, needing to walk either forward or backward about 900 meters to get off the bridge.
Now it's 11:40 AM, with plenty of sunshine, and the apparent temperature is 36°.
Wang Lixin cried out, "Kun Kun, we're on the bridge, the ends are out of sight, what are we going to do?"
Zhang Jiankun, furious enough to explode, fiercely said, "I'm going to leave him a bad review, I'm going to call to complain against him, I'm going to make sure he can't drive ride-hailing cars anymore! Damn!"
Wang Lixin was also very agitated, providing Zhang Jiankun with advice on how to comment.
"Say his attitude was terrible, he deliberately didn't turn on the air conditioning and cursed at passengers..."
This bizarre couple vented all their resentment towards Yang Chen on this one bad review, even editing it three times before posting it.
Yang Chen had just gotten off the bridge when he received a platform alert.
He clicked to check, and sure enough, the negative review from the previous order arrived.
Looking at the bad review from Zhang Jiankun and Wang Lixin, Yang Chen couldn't help but laugh.
This noon roasting sun feeling on the river bridge must be something else!
"Ding! Congratulations to the owner for earning a bad review through dedication. The system rewards the owner with 2 million cash, ready to deposit into the owner's bank account. The funds rewarded by the system will operate through complex channels to absolutely guarantee safety, the owner can use them with peace of mind."
At this moment, a bank message came in.
Yang Chen clicked to check and indeed 2 million was deposited.
Once upon a time, Yang Chen's family had more money than this 2 million, so he wasn't excited.
However, truth be told, even in a large city like Hai City, being able to come up with 2 million cash is definitely above most people's level.
Yang Chen clipped the video and audio recording, uploaded it to the backend, and left it for customer service review.
Regarding whether the review and complaint can be removed, it's up to customer service.
Anyway, Yang Chen is only responsible for uploading, he doesn't care about the result.
After a busy morning, Yang Chen was also starving now.
So, he quickly found a small restaurant to eat.
When Yang Chen was little, he lived a life of luxury and ate in fancy restaurants.
After his parents had an accident, he started living frugally.
Later, he got together with Zhao Feifei. Learning about her family's poor condition, Yang Chen stopped visiting ordinary restaurants, mostly eating at street stalls to save money to support her family.
Facts have proven that sincerity doesn't necessarily bring good results.
Forget it, don't want to think about these sad past events.
Yang Chen ordered a plate of chilled beef, a plate of pickled fish, and an iced drink, and started eating comfortably.
After having a few bites, Wang Lixin called.
Yang Chen directly rejected the call.
Next, an unknown number dialed in, most likely Zhang Jiankun's call, Yang Chen rejected again.
Due to their persistent calls, Yang Chen got fed up and had to block them.
A while later, Wang Lixin @-ed him in the class QQ group.
"Yang Chen, are you crazy? How could you leave me on the bridge in such hot weather? The bridge is too long, I simply can't make it. And cars can't be stopped up here. I'm almost getting heatstroke; you better come and pick me up! If I get heatstroke and die here, you can't escape responsibility! @Yang Chen"
This sparked a thunderous reaction, instantly blowing up the class group chat.
The QQ group, silent for many days, suddenly became lively.
Chen Yuwan: "Wow, what's going on? When did you two pair up?"
Li Liu: "Already developed to the stage of arguing, you two really know how to keep it secret."
Xu Xiaowan: "Eating melon online."
Li Dengfeng: "Beer, drinks, mineral water, peanuts, melon seeds, eight treasures porridge. Come on, classmates at the front, please make way, don't block my view while I eat melon."
Xia Yurou: "Yang Chen, did you break up with your childhood sweetheart? You're with Wang Lixin now? You two are really something. How come such a big thing wasn't mentioned to us?"
Wu Tao: "Yang Chen, you're being a bit harsh. Back then, when she confessed, you absolutely refused and humiliated her in front of the class. How come you're with her now?"
...
Classmates seemed very eager to express their opinions, yet Yang Chen, the one involved, didn't respond.
The wronged Wang Lixin could only plead with classmates to pass judgment, hoping to make Yang Chen unable to stay in the class, as punishment for daring to leave her and her boyfriend on the bridge.
Wang Lixin: "I went out today and took a ride-hailing car, coincidentally booked Yang Chen's car. I thought as classmates, I could support his business and was quite happy, wanting to chat about old times. Although we were unhappy back in school, many years have passed, and I've let it go, he should have too. However, he made things difficult, deliberately turning off the air conditioning. Just think about how hot it is outside now, who can endure without AC? I requested he turn it on, but he claimed there was no platform regulation for it. He said if I wanted AC, I'd have to beg him. Can I accept that? As a result, he left me on the bridge. It's so hot here, I can't walk anymore, nor can I stop any car, I'm feeling heatstroke now, so worried I might die on the bridge.
