I confess, I am the Mr. Richest -
Chapter 348: No need for such trouble, I’ll do it
Chapter 348: Chapter 348: No need for such trouble, I’ll do it
"A super young master from Beijing, or the low-key heir of a century-old wealthy family?"
"He even has one of the few Patek Philippe 6002G Celestial Tourbillons in the world."
In Gao Zhengqi’s mind, there were only two words to describe Chu Chen, and that was badass.
After chatting for a while, Gao Zhengqi left.
The next day, Chu Chen continued to experience life as a driver for hire.
Maybe because he used his real photo on the driving app, Chu Chen unexpectedly found that the number of beautiful clients requesting him increased.
This gave Chu Chen quite a headache, as being handsome came with too many troubles.
Chu Chen even considered whether he should wear a mask to hide his handsome face and save those beauties from going crazy.
In the afternoon, Chu Chen encountered his first male passenger.
He was a young man around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, wearing a sharp and expensive suit, gold-rimmed glasses, the image of an elite corporate professional.
"You’re here, take this."
The young man handed a Maserati car key to Chu Chen.
Chu Chen went to start the car, while the young man looked at Chu Chen arrogantly, exuding an air of superiority.
The young man’s name was Wei Angjie, a technology director at a leading company. While his peers were still working for monthly salaries of just a few thousand or tens of thousands, his annual salary exceeded a few million.
While his peers were scrambling to gather money to buy a car worth two hundred thousand, he had already bought a Maserati outright.
Wei Angjie wanted to keep a low profile, but his success wouldn’t allow it.
So every time he met someone his age, Wei Angjie couldn’t help but feel a special sense of superiority.
Sitting in the back of the car, Wei Angjie took on the air of a boss.
"How long have you been driving for hire?" Wei Angjie asked.
"I just started."
"This job has no future; you..."
Unable to go a day without showing off, Wei Angjie was about to brag when he suddenly noticed the Patek Philippe on Chu Chen’s wrist.
Wei Angjie squinted his eyes and looked closely for a moment?
A Patek Philippe?
Did he see that right?
This young man working as a driver for hire was wearing a Patek Philippe?
He knew a little about luxury watches, but wasn’t very knowledgeable about specifics; he only recognized that Chu Chen’s watch was a Patek Philippe.
And that was a Patek Philippe—just an average one might cost a few hundred thousand.
Even he wasn’t qualified to wear one, yet here it was on the wrist of a hire driver.
"A Patek Philippe?"
Wei Angjie asked.
"Yeah," Chu Chen nodded.
"Wearing a fake watch isn’t great."
Wei Angjie looked disgusted, "Being unable to afford luxury isn’t shameful, but buying a fake is just pathetic."
A hire driver with a Patek Philippe, the only reasonable explanation was that it was a fake; otherwise, it was just too implausible.
"It’s real."
Chu Chen replied casually, not wanting to argue with Wei Angjie.
Wei Angjie shook his head, looking unconvinced, when his phone suddenly rang.
"Mr. Li, what happened?"
Wei Angjie answered the call.
"This afternoon’s meeting is canceled, okay, I understand, Mr. Li."
Wei Angjie nodded.
Since the afternoon meeting was canceled, he could take the afternoon off to relax.
"Turn around, we’re not going to the company; I want to go home and rest."
Wei Angjie told Chu Chen.
"By the way, I live at Tomson Riviera."
Wei Angjie boasted, this being another favorite show-off point.
He rented a small unit at Tomson Riviera, with a monthly rent close to two hundred thousand.
That two hundred thousand a month could easily rent a luxury house, or even a lesser villa, elsewhere.
But for the sake of showing off, Wei Angjie gritted his teeth and moved into Tomson Riviera.
After all, when it came to Shanghai’s most prestigious residences, Tomson Riviera was undoubtedly number one.
A few times using Tomson Riviera to show off had good results.
"You’ve probably never been to Tomson Riviera, right? You’re lucky today, meeting me; you can enter the legendary Tomson Riviera for a look and broaden your horizons."
Wei Angjie said, as if Chu Chen had hit the jackpot.
Chu Chen helplessly shook his head, not saying much.
Soon, they arrived at Tomson Riviera, and a security guard stopped the car.
Wei Angjie rolled down the window in the back and asked, "What’s up?"
"Hello, please show your access card."
The security guard spoke.
In a high-end residential area like Tomson Riviera, for the sake of security, even familiar owners had to show their access cards.
"Okay."
Saying that, Wei Angjie reached into his pocket, and the next second, he froze.
There wasn’t one in his pocket?!
After searching for a few minutes, Wei Angjie still hadn’t found it.
"Right, I left it on my desk at the company this morning."
Wei Angjie suddenly realized where he left the access card.
For a moment, Wei Angjie felt quite embarrassed.
He had just bragged to this hire driver about living in Tomson Riviera, and now he couldn’t even get through the gate.
Wasn’t this the height of embarrassment?!
"Sorry, I left it at the company. I’m the owner of building C, unit 603; just let me in."
Wei Angjie leaned his head out, pleading with the security guard at Tomson Riviera.
"I’m sorry, sir, for the neighborhood’s safety, you can’t go in without an access card."
The security guard shook his head; the security system at Tomson Riviera was extremely strict, not allowing entry without an access card.
Hearing this, Wei Angjie’s face was full of awkwardness.
"Just a little flexibility, I really am a resident here."
Wei Angjie pleaded with the security guard once more.
"Why don’t you go back and get it?"
The security guard shook his head and suggested.
Instantly, Wei Angjie felt extremely embarrassed; his face was burning hot.
"Didn’t you just finish showing off?"
He had even said that he’d take this hire driver inside to broaden his horizons?
But he couldn’t even enter himself.
"Ahem, you know, Tomson Riviera is one of Shanghai’s top luxury residences; the security system is incredibly strict."
"Without an access card, no one, not even a huge figure, can get in."
Wei Angjie tried to cover up, giving himself a way out.
"Why don’t you take me to the company to get the access card back?"
"No need to trouble yourself, I’ll handle it."
Chu Chen didn’t want to waste another half an hour, so he rolled down the car window on the driver’s side.
"I can vouch that he’s a resident here; let us in."
Chu Chen said to the security guard.
Huh?
Hearing Chu Chen’s words, a sneer appeared on Wei Angjie’s face.
Was this hire driver joking or crazy?
Did he think he could get into Tomson Riviera with just his handsomeness, without an access card?
Don’t be ridiculous.
This was Tomson Riviera; even high-ranking officials couldn’t get in without an access card.
That was the confidence of Tomson Riviera!
He was sure Chu Chen couldn’t get in; if Chu Chen managed, he would eat this Maserati!!
"Oh, it’s Mr. Chu?"
"I’m sorry, I didn’t see you; please come in, quickly."
However, the next second, the security guard respectfully said and opened the car block, allowing Chu Chen to enter.
