Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 249 - 160: Triple Strike Against Zhou Zhenyang — You Can’t Show Off in Front of Me
Zhou Zhenyang: "Haha... You, who don’t even have a card, what makes you think you can talk to me, a platinum card member, like that? I know you feel embarrassed, but there’s nothing to be done—I’m just using the privileges the club gave me. In this world, rich people are always in charge. Life is about following the rules of the game, or you’ll get nowhere. Don’t you agree?"
Yang Chen nodded and said, "Hmm. You’re right, following the rules is key to doing things. Coincidentally, I also have a card here. Manager, please check what privileges I might have."
With that, Yang Chen took out the Black Gold Card that only shareholders of the Jinying Club possess.
The manager was shocked—how could he have a shareholder’s Black Gold Card?
The onlookers were dumbfounded—what kind of card is this?
Why have they never seen it before?
"What kind of card is this?"
"Isn’t platinum the highest level? How does he have a black card?"
"This is the first time I’ve seen this. Manager, what exactly is this card?"
The manager hurried forward and bowed deeply to Yang Chen and quickly asked, "Are you the shareholder who just acquired 30% of our club’s shares?"
Everyone was astonished—a shareholder who acquired 30% of the Jinying Club’s shares?
Cheng Junjun smiled slightly. To her, Yang Chen was legendary, and everything he did seemed reasonable.
However, Fang Yingqi and Zhang Yuxin, who only knew Yang Chen as a ride-hailing driver, were stunned. Both of them stood there with their mouths slightly open—they looked so cute.
Yang Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I just acquired 30% of the club’s shares. Now, can I keep this area reserved?"
Manager: "Yes, yes. You are already a shareholder of the club. You can play wherever you like. Young Master Zhou, I’m sorry, but your platinum card privileges don’t work in front of a shareholder."
Invalidate?
Invalidate!
Zhou Zhenyang suddenly felt devastated, his face burning, sweating all over, feeling more embarrassed than ever.
The bystanders started discussing again.
"Funny, in this world the rich are powerful, but the richer ones are even more so."
"Haha... I’ve been playing here for years, and this is really the first time I’ve seen such a scene. Never seen anyone pull out such a Black Gold Card before."
"Now that’s awkward, the platinum card doesn’t work anymore, privileges voided, face lost. Will he still stay at this club?"
...
"I’ve recharged a million and spent over a million here in total. And now you’re telling me my privileges are void?" Zhou Zhenyang questioned.
The manager nodded and said, "There’s nothing we can do. He’s a shareholder—black outweighs platinum. When Black Gold appears, who can compete?"
"Damn! Are you sure you’ve seen it right? How can someone who can’t even afford a card acquire shares? Can’t this card be faked?" Zhou Zhenyang asked angrily.
Manager: "Not likely. These kinds of cards are carried by shareholders themselves—they rarely take them out because they’re hardly needed, so there’s no chance to replicate even if he wanted to."
Yang Chen: "Enough, stop the nonsense. Manager, just take Young Master Zhou to another area to play. After all, he’s a platinum card member—arrange a better area for him."
Manager: "Okay, okay. Mr. Yang, enjoy your time. We won’t disturb you."
With that, the manager tried to pull Zhou Zhenyang away.
Zhou Zhenyang shook off the manager’s hand. Unable to show off today and lost face, if he leaves just like that, he won’t come back again, as others would keep laughing at him.
So, Zhou Zhenyang was determined to go head-to-head with Yang Chen.
"I suspect his card is fake. Call your boss Chen Jinying here to verify it," Zhou Zhenyang said.
Manager: "Young Master Zhou, don’t do this. It’ll get complicated, and I’ll get into trouble."
Zhou Zhenyang: "Is your brain filled with crap? I’m a platinum card member—so what if he’s a shareholder? Do you think your boss would offend a million-dollar platinum card member for a shareholder?"
Now, Zhou Zhenyang was banking on Chen Jinying not giving up on a platinum card member like him, considering he still had one million in his card.
Zhou Zhenyang thought no boss would refuse a million dollars just to protect a shareholder’s face.
The manager looked at Yang Chen, and Yang Chen nodded.
The manager quickly called Chen Jinying to report the situation.
Chen Jinying rushed over immediately.
"Mr. Yang, a pleasure, a pleasure. If you planned to come today, why didn’t you inform me so that I could give you a personal tour and introduce our club operations?" Chen Jinying greeted Yang Chen warmly with a handshake.
Yang Chen returned the smile and said: "I just came to hang out with friends, planning to discuss club operations later with President Chen. But I didn’t expect this platinum member to insist on taking my spot. We young people, who the hell doesn’t want some face? I certainly couldn’t let him snatch my area. So, I’ve got no choice but to bring out the Black Gold Card."
Chen Jinying nodded and said, "I understand. Young Master Zhou, it’s all a misunderstanding. Mr. Yang indeed just acquired 30% of our club’s shares, so let’s leave this area for Mr. Yang. I’ll take you to a better area and give you three free play passes as compensation from our club to make it up to you. Please calm down; after all, having fun is what’s most important. How about it?"
The onlookers laughed loudly.
The phrase they repeated most was "he who flaunts is often the one who gets mocked."
