Ye Chen, a struggling DiDi driver, is dumped by his girlfriend Yao Lili for preferring luxury over his modest life. While driving, he picks up Su Wanyi, a powerful CEO facing pressure from sleazy businessman Chen Li to drink in exchange for a crucial business deal. Activating the DiDi Choice System, Ye Chen opts to help Su Wanyi, earning immense rewards including wealth, a luxury car, enhanced charm, and the CEO position of Yida Group. At the hotel banquet, tensions rise as Chen Li demands Su Wanyi drink, but Ye Chen intervenes by pouring out the wine, sparking Chen Li's fury.

2: Chapter 002 Be Humble (Request for Votes and Favorites) 2: Chapter 002 Be Humble (Request for Votes and Favorites) “How dare a lowly driver interfere?

Do you have any idea about your own position?” Chen Li jabbed a finger toward Ye Chen and snarled.

Ye Chen gave a cold laugh, “And what do you believe my position to be?”

Chen Li sneered with haughty contempt, his expression dripping with scorn, “You’re nothing but a broke driver, correct?”

“Is that so?

You’re employed by Yida Group, aren’t you?”

“Exactly, I hold the role of General Manager in the Project Department at Yida Group.”

“What an amazing twist, because I’m with Yida Group as well.”

“You’re with Yida Group?

What department?

I’ll have you dismissed immediately,” Chen Li threatened, his features hardening.

“President Chen, please don’t dismiss him, I’ll drink the wine, alright?”

Ye Chen’s defense of Su Wanyi had touched her profoundly.

Yet Su Wanyi didn’t want Ye Chen to suffer job loss on her account.

As Su Wanyi relented, Chen Li smugly gestured at Ye Chen.

“Boy, leave now, and for Wanyi’s sake, I’ll overlook this.”

“Miss Su, relax, he has no power to dismiss me,” Ye Chen replied casually.

Su Wanyi figured Ye Chen was protecting her honor, so she teased, “Yida Group ranks among Fortune 500 giants; if you lose your job over me, I’d carry that guilt.”

Chen Li assumed he had Ye Chen pinned down, “Hah, you’re merely a junior staffer at Yida Group, huh?

You still try to act the hero before me? Are you worthy?

Scram, stop making a fool of yourself here.”

“Chen Li, who exactly are you ordering to scram?”

Suddenly, the private room door swung open, revealing a woman in an office lady outfit and gold-rimmed glasses who stepped inside.

“President Lin?

What brings you here?” The sight of the stunning woman left Chen Li dumbfounded.

The woman shot Chen Li a stern look and approached Ye Chen directly, offering a bow, “President Ye.”

Chen Li went rigid.

Su Wanyi froze in place too.

“Mm!” Ye Chen acknowledged with a nod.

“Lin Li, correct?

I haven’t officially started yet, and already someone’s scheming to boot me out,” Ye Chen remarked softly.

Right then, Chen Li’s shock hit him like a thunderbolt, his mouth agape.

President Ye?

Then it clicked: the firm had revealed earlier that day how the chairman handed over forty percent of shares to a young fellow named Ye.

Was this that very person?

Lin Li cast a quick look at Chen Li and stated, “President Ye, as the company’s new president, you hold the authority to dismiss any Yida Group employee at your discretion, even myself included.”

Chen Li shuddered violently, his complexion draining to ashen upon those words.

President Ye?

Su Wanyi stared at Ye Chen in utter disbelief.

She’d never dreamed that the DiDi driver she’d encountered on the street was the powerful head of Yida Group.

Su Wanyi mentally tagged the attractive guy with: “Low-profile Divine Rich.”

The mythical top-tier heartthrob!

In Su Wanyi’s view, guys were typically average, but today marked the first time her heart skipped a beat.

Ye Chen eyed Chen Li with a playful grin, “You just demanded I leave and plotted to sack me, didn’t you?”

Chen Li’s knees gave way, and he dropped to the floor.

“President Ye, it’s all a huge mix-up, I was foolish and clueless, I beg your pardon.”

Chen Li was on the verge of tears.

A grand Yida Group president, heavens, masquerading as a driver?

Does he enjoy acting dim-witted?

Ye Chen shook his head, “Your error isn’t merely offending me, but misusing company authority to bully business allies; a person like you would poison the firm if allowed to stay.”

“President Ye, spare me, I swear I won’t repeat it!”

Ye Chen scoffed disdainfully, “Beat it, you’re terminated.”

Chen Li’s visage blanched further, and he slumped onto the ground.

As Yida Group’s General Manager, pulling in a million bucks yearly, he’d toiled over a decade to reach that spot.

But now, a moment of lechery cost him everything.

Su Wanyi stood equally dazed.

She couldn’t have foreseen the DiDi driver from earlier being Yida Group’s president.

Su Wanyi mentally tagged the handsome brother again: “Low-profile Divine Rich.”

The legendary ultimate male god!

Ye Chen regarded Chen Li with an amused smirk, “Let me offer you some parting advice: stay humble like I do, got it?”

Chen Li: “…”

Humble?

Humble be damned!

A listed group’s president moonlighting as a driver.

Why not ascend to the skies while he’s at it?

“For the contract signing, just deal with President Lin directly, I’ll drive you back to the office,” Ye Chen told Su Wanyi with a warm smile.

“Sure!” Su Wanyi nodded bashfully.

Once the deal was inked, Ye Chen and Su Wanyi made their way to the parking area.

Su Wanyi headed for Ye Chen’s rundown Xiali vehicle.

Ye Chen hit the key fob, “Hop in my ride.”

DiDi…

Beside the Xiali, the lights of a Pagani supercar flashed on.

Following that, its doors rose elegantly like wings.

The sight of the gleaming Pagani left Su Wanyi speechless.

The exclusive Pagani Wind God model, which Su Wanyi had spotted in publications, with just one unit in the nation, priced above thirty million!

Still, considering Ye Chen’s standing, Su Wanyi relaxed.

Yida Group’s president piloting a thirty-million supercar seemed utterly ordinary.

The sole oddity was this fellow actually driving for DiDi.

Do modern tycoons indulge in such whims?

Ye Chen settled into the Pagani’s interior, opulent, radiant, supremely plush.

“What a flawless pairing of wheels and stunner!”

Ye Chen showily launched the DiDi driver application.

“President Su, care to book a trip and back me up?”

Su Wanyi let out a light chuckle, “Alright, with Yida’s president as my chauffeur, I feel incredibly privileged.”

She pulled up the DiDi app and submitted the booking.

Ye Chen floored the pedal, and the Pagani unleashed a sharp growl.

The intense g-force made Su Wanyi snap on her safety belt by reflex.

The thirty-million Pagani tore along the avenue, turning heads as the street’s flashiest ride.

“Whoa, is that a Pagani?

Only one exists in the country, worth thirty million for sure.”

“Some wealthy heir must be joyriding.”

“The passenger’s beauty is stunning.”

“Sigh, car and lady, yet I’m not behind the wheel.”

Amid the crowd’s envious stares, Ye Chen delivered Su Wanyi to her stop.

“Appreciate the fare, call for another anytime you need transport!”

“Sure, oh, might we swap WeChat info?” For the first time, Su Wanyi requested a guy’s WeChat.

“Absolutely!”

After trading WeChat details, Ye Chen sped off.

[Ding, congrats host on earning a Five-Star Rating, unlocking the 1st star (1/5), granting 50 million RMB]

“Incredible!”

“50 million RMB!”

Ye Chen’s account now boasted over sixty million, alongside his Yida presidency; what would his girlfriend think upon discovering his fortune?

Ye Chen eagerly anticipated it.

DiDi!

A fresh order popped up.

Ye Chen accepted it, checked the drop-off: Brocade Garden, merely 1.2 kilometers distant.
