Among brothers, at least let me lend you some if you’re going through a hard time. We all gave at least 5000, and you gave so little. Others might think we’re trying to embarrass you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xiang: \"I brought some money. Take back this red envelope that hasn’t even started preschool. I’ll lend you 5000 to make it up, and you can pay me back later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Chen replied with a smile: \"Thank you, brothers. I think the amount doesn’t matter in gift-giving, as long as it expresses your heart. If your situation is better, give more; if not, give less. Even if it’s less, it’s the thought that counts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Bin: \"What you’re saying is true, but this is too little. I suspect a stack of 100 bills would be thicker than this. You can’t give too little either; if Wang Jun doesn’t accept what we’ve given, we can’t take back over 4900, can we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Chen didn’t want to make things awkward with these classmates, but Yu Shishi had no such concerns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Yu Shishi simply opened the red envelope, took out a check for 66666, and placed it on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The uncle in charge of registration, seeing so many numbers, was instantly shocked and widened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Bin and the others were also too stunned to speak when they saw all those sixes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Chen said with a smile: \"As I’ve said, the amount isn’t important; it’s about expressing your intentions. A small gift may carry a deep sentiment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The uncle in charge of registration laughed heartily, saying: \"Well said, well said. Wang Jun isn’t wasting his time; each classmate is more impressive than the next. Yang Chen, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Chen smiled and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darn, he pulled it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Bin and the others, with their manager and supervisor titles, kept saying ’brother,’ yet they only gave 5000 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Chen, a ride-hailing driver, didn’t go on and on about brotherhood, yet gave a gift of 66666. The contrast was striking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, Zhang Bin and the others finally realized Yang Chen’s remark about a small gift with deep sentiment wasn’t about himself; it was about them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Chen said with a smile: \"Let’s go, have a chat over there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Bin and the others dumbfoundedly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Chen and Yu Shishi walked while admiring the flowers and wedding photos at the venue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Bin and the others whispered behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gosh! This guy can really put on an act. He’s just a ride-hailing driver, yet suddenly gives over sixty thousand. One might think he’s a big boss,\" Zhang Bin said resentfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Yang Chen were a company boss, they wouldn’t have any issue with the amount he gave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The issue was that Yang Chen was a ride-hailing driver, giving so much money, making them as managers and supervisors look bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen He: \"Makes it seem like his relationship with Wang Jun is better than ours, showing off!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xiang: \"Just pretending to be wealthy, giving away over sixty thousand means working for free for half a year. There’s a saying: the more someone lacks something, the more they show it off. He’s worried we’d ridicule him for being a driver, so he gave so much to prevent that. But it’s unnecessary, we’re not like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heh heh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for what they said earlier, one might believe they weren’t intentionally showing off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it doesn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Chen prepared the gift money early, not as a show-off, nor to embarrass Zhang Bin and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for giving such a significant gift was twofold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, Yang Chen now had money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, Yang Chen and Wang Jun were best buddies in high school, so when your buddy from basketball back then gets married, wouldn’t you be a bit more generous?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, youth is priceless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could say this money was for Wang Jun, but really, it was a gift for himself, not just for Wang Jun’s wedding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Yang Chen agreed to acquire Jinhai Resort in the future, the general manager position would be reserved for Wang Jun, putting him at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jun would surely earn this money back for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Bin and the others wanted to avoid Yang Chen, feeling embarrassed about the gift money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pretending to be superior but getting humbled, they sure weren’t happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No worries, you don’t need a lot of friends; having one you can talk to is enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, what they thought didn’t matter; Yang Chen didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At ten o’clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wedding car arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed frugally arranged; apart from the car to pick up the bride, there was only a videographer’s car following.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily it’s in a big city like Hai City; if it were in some rural area, this scale of wedding convoy would’ve been blocked by people asking for cigarettes along the way, preventing their return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Chen hurriedly took Yu Shishi over to see the commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jun got out of the car first and then invited the bride, Xiaojing, to get out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jun’s mother came over to give a small gift, and only then did Xiaojing get out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though guests were few, the atmosphere was joyful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Chen nudged Wang Jun to bump into Xiaojing, then said: \"Kiss her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaojing recognized Yang Chen as the one who left with Wang Jun the night she got drunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jun laughed heartily and turned to give Xiaojing a kiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to wedding traditions, it was more outrageous that brothers could step up and kiss the bride on the cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with new-age rules, such impolite behavior is unnecessary; watching the bride and groom kiss is enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Bin and the others joined in the fun, and everyone happily escorted the newlyweds to the emcee.\u003C\u002Fp>",1013,"2026-06-06T09:28:35.526Z",1,"novelbin.me","d7375ea5d522cfef8538905f862ab8853dc738d9ac40791bc5acd72e7cc81228","car-hailing-driver-rewards-from-complaints-chapter-143","car-hailing-driver-rewards-from-complaints-chapter-141",500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcar-hailing-driver-rewards-from-complaints-cover.jpg"]
