33: Another rich woman inviting me for a ride?

Seeing Ye Chen stunned, Bai Shanshan mocked, "You are really hard to invite. Did it really take my sister raising the price to one million for you to agree?"

Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat.

Sister?

So they really are sisters!

He took a deep breath: "Officer Bai, what do you want with me?"

Bai Shanshan's tone was cold.

"Last time I almost believed you were innocent, but then I discovered that you could actually take on dozens of people by yourself..."

"How impressive!"

Ye Chen knew she must have found something, and arguing was useless, so he simply asked: "So, Officer Bai paid one million to 'order' me, just to say this?"

Bai Shanshan crossed her arms and leaned against the sofa armrest, her jeans accentuating her toned figure.

"Still don't get it?"

"Then let me ask you: you're a person from Tiangong Nightclub, first you drove for Jin Meiting, then you turned around and became Bing Lan's driver, playing both sides... What are you trying to do?"

Ye Chen spread his hands, looking helpless: "Officer Bai, do you think I wanted this? I'm just a worker. I drive for whoever pays me. Miss Bing really paid too much!"

"Paid too much?"

Bai Shanshan sneered.

"Do you think I'd believe such nonsense?"

"What kind of place is Tiangong Nightclub, and what kind of person is Zheng Hu? Don't you know?"

"A nightclub driver being headhunted by the female ceo of Shuyue Group..."

"Ye Chen, do you take us police for fools?"

Ye Chen smiled bitterly: "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. I'm just a driver. I have neither the right nor the obligation to explain every one of my side jobs to you, right?"

Bai Shanshan's short temper flared instantly; she lunged forward and grabbed Ye Chen by the collar.

"Let me tell you, Ye Chen, I've got my eye on you!"

"Don't let me catch you slipping, or I'll make you pay dearly!"

Ye Chen looked at Bai Shanshan, who was inches away, and felt a massive headache coming on.

He already had enough trouble; now, being targeted by this hot-tempered female police officer was just adding insult to injury.

Seeing Ye Chen didn't say a word, Bai Shanshan tightened her grip on his collar, just about to speak again...

"Shanshan."

Bai Wanqing, who was on the sofa, suddenly spoke in a gentle, moving voice. "Calm down. Maybe you're just overthinking it?"

"Sister!"

Shanshan turned back, dissatisfied. "Don't let this guy's appearance fool you; he's extremely slippery!"

Bai Wanqing ignored her and turned her gaze to Ye Chen: "You said... Bing Lan of Shuyue Group personally hired you as her private driver?"

"Yes." Ye Chen nodded.

"Then what my sister said—that you took on dozens of people by yourself—is that also true?" Bai Wanqing asked again.

Ye Chen curled his lip: "I was just surrounded by dozens of people, but I didn't knock them all down. I won't admit to that."

"Still making excuses?" Shanshan was even angrier. "What's the difference between being unscathed while surrounded by dozens of people and knocking them all down?"

Ye Chen was helpless: "Of course there's a difference. They weren't injured, so you can't pin that on me, right?"

"You!!!"

Just as Shanshan was about to kick him, Bai Wanqing asked again: "How much salary does Bing Lan pay you?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment; there was nothing to hide.

"A monthly salary of 100,000, with performance bonuses calculated separately."

Upon hearing this, Bai Wanqing calmly extended an invitation.

"I'll give you a monthly salary of 200,000, with performance bonuses the same."

"Come and drive for me."

Ye Chen was completely stunned.

What's going on here?

The widow of Tianyao Group, whose husband's body was barely cold, ran to a nightclub and spent a million to 'order' him—a driver—out, all for the sake of... poaching him?

Shanshan was anxious: "Sister! What are you doing? I asked him here to interrogate and investigate him, not for you to hire him as a driver with a high salary!"

"I know, just leave it be for now." Bai Wanqing picked up her wine glass and stared at Ye Chen. "Do you accept my proposal or not?"

Ye Chen looked troubled upon hearing this.

"Madam Bai, thank you for your kindness, but..."

"A full-time position probably won't work!"

"You know my situation; I'm driving here and driving there. I'm all about time management, but I really can't be in two places at once."

200,000 a month was indeed very tempting.

If it were before he had paid off his debts, he would have agreed without hesitation.

But the current situation was different...

First, Shanshan had her eyes on him.

Second, Bai Wanqing was able to take control of the entire The Group within a month; she was definitely no simple character.

Now that she was inexplicably inviting Ye Chen to be her driver, he had to be on guard...

Bai Wanqing took a sip of wine, her expression unchanged: "Fine, part-time it is. You just need to be on call whenever I need you."

"Well..." Ye Chen pushed his luck. "Being on call might also be difficult. It depends on my schedule. You know, with Miss Bing Lan and the nightclub, I have to coordinate the time."

"Ye Chen!" Shanshan completely lost it.

"You take money to do a job, it's only natural!"

"Letting you work part-time is already an exception, and you still dare to be picky?"

"Who do you think you are!?"

Bai Wanqing pursed her lips and said nothing.

Ye Chen ignored Shanshan's rage and continued.

"Madam Bai, think about it. Driving for Miss Bing Lan and driving here at Tiangong doesn't conflict with my schedule; it relies on flexible arrangements."

"So, my request is quite reasonable, right?"

"You can't expect me to drop everything—whether I'm delivering documents for Miss Bing Lan or running errands for my boss—just because you call, right?"

"Wouldn't that make me a disloyal servant?"

"Besides, there are plenty of people who would want to be your driver. Why must it be me?"

He had made it very clear that he didn't want the job.

Shanshan was so angered by his twisted logic that her chest heaved, and the buttons of her white shirt seemed ready to pop off...

She didn't understand why her sister insisted on hiring Ye Chen as a driver, but she didn't want her sister to agree to those conditions!

But before she could speak again, Bai Wanqing put down her glass and said something shocking.

"Fine, have it your way!"

"Leave your contact information. When I have a need, I will make an appointment with you in advance."

"Sister!" Shanshan couldn't believe her ears.

Ye Chen was also bewildered.

No way...

He had already pushed it this far; what kind of crazy thing was Bai Wanqing doing to actually accept it???

Something was wrong.

Very wrong.

Alarm bells rang in Ye Chen's heart.

Bai Wanqing making concessions at every step was definitely not normal.

This woman must have ulterior motives!

But since things had reached this point, if he refused firmly again, it would mean tearing off the mask. It would offend both Tianyao Group and this police officer who wouldn't stop staring at him...

He already had enough trouble; it was really not advisable to make more powerful enemies.

Thinking of this, he nodded.

"Since Madam Bai is so sincere, it would be ungrateful of me to refuse again."

"Fine, we'll do it as you say."

He took out his phone, exchanged contact information with Bai Wanqing, and then left the private room.

As soon as the door closed, Shanshan, who had been suppressing herself for a long time, exploded.

"Sister! What exactly do you mean?!"

"That guy is obviously full of secrets, smooth-talking, and full of tricks!"

"You let him be your driver, and you're even being so compliant? Aren't you afraid of inviting a wolf into the house?!"

Bai Wanqing took another sip of wine, then said slowly.

"Shanshan, have you thought about it..."

"A person who can make Zheng Hu feel at ease letting him drive for his own woman, and can also make such a shrewd female ceo as Bing Lan look at him differently, even compromising just to keep him by her side..."

"Could he just be a 'slippery' Little Driver?"

Shanshan was stunned.

Bai Wanqing took a deep breath and continued.

"He can fight, he knows his boundaries, and in the face of your pressure and my inducements, he remained calm, even turning the tables to negotiate terms..."

"A person like this is either a great villain or possesses special skills and has something to rely on."

"Regardless of which one it is, keeping him under our noses is much safer than letting him hide in the shadows, where he could be recruited by Zheng Hu or others."

She put down her glass and looked at her sister.

"You and I both know the current situation of our Bai family."

"Your brother-in-law has just passed away, and how many eyes inside and outside The Group are watching us, waiting for us to fall."

"At this time, what we need are capable people, variables."

"This Ye Chen..."

"Perhaps he is that variable."

Shanshan was numb.

She had asked her sister to intervene originally to meet Ye Chen alone and ask him why he was getting close to Bing Lan.

Because Bing Lan's identity was too special and involved certain confidential files...

But she didn't expect that not only did she not get any answers, but she had also dragged her sister into it.

She understood why her sister did that.

After all, her brother-in-law had an accident, and her sister needed capable people by her side.

She could only blame herself for giving her sister the video of Ye Chen fighting dozens of people alone, which made her want to recruit him...

She opened her mouth and sighed helplessly.

"Sister, I understand your considerations, but..."

"You still have to be careful!"

"Zheng Hu is someone watched by the higher-ups, and he is ruthless; how could the people under him be simple?"

"What if Ye Chen was really trained by him?"

"Don't worry, Shanshan." Bai Wanqing smiled slightly. "If he really is Zheng Hu's man, then I will... reform him."

"Reform?" Shanshan was confused. "How will you reform him? By reasoning with him, talking about life ideals?"

In her view... dealing with a slippery guy like Ye Chen, reasoning just wouldn't work!

Bai Wanqing adjusted her collar, making her proud curves even more prominent.

Then, she said softly.

"With... my bosom."
