"Forget it, arguing is useless. This is his decision. Do you really think you can change Dad's mind once he's made it up? You know it's impossible," Zhuifeng said with a bitter smile. "Wasn't I living alone before? Now it's just officially decreeing the 'edict.'"
Silence...
"So what are your plans now? You're supposed to start university next term."
"I don't know!"
"Did Dad give you any money?"
"You know the answer!"
"Here, the password is..."
"No need, I'll figure it out myself!" Zhuifeng pushed back the bank card his brother was offering. "I won't use their money anymore!"
"You... you're not planning to stop studying, are you?"
"If I have the chance, I'll still go!"
"Then what...?"
"I'll work and earn money myself!"
"Work?" His Second Brother was surprised. After thinking deeply for a moment, he remembered Zhuifeng's current situation. "What do you plan to do? What can you do?"
Zhuifeng didn't speak; he was just as lost as his brother was.
"I've got it!"
Seeing his brother suddenly become animated after being silent for so long, Zhuifeng felt a glimmer of hope.
"I guess you wouldn't want to work at the company, right?"
"Obviously!" Zhuifeng turned cold again.
"So, I've been thinking... you only know one thing: driving! Haha, I'm so smart!"
"Damn! It seems you and I are really cut from the same cloth. You both get so excited you forget about everything else." All the people around them were startled, thinking this person must have just been released from a mental hospital.
"Tch! I've already thought of that, but there's one problem: I don't have a driver's license!"
"Oh right. But... can't you just go take the test?"
"Is the driving school yours? Do you think I can just take the test whenever I want? I never realized before that you were such an idiot." Zhuifeng felt more depressed.
"Don't worry, leave it to me. Let's go..."
Sitting in the car, Zhuifeng was still doubtful. "Where are we going?"
"Traffic Police Headquarters!"
"What?" Zhuifeng, almost caught driving without a license again, involuntarily jerked the wheel, nearly crashing into the 'pretty car' next to him!
"What are you doing? Be careful with my car!" Second Brother quickly fastened his seatbelt.
"Going to the Traffic Police Headquarters? You're not thinking of turning me in, are you? I'm not going."
"Damn! I'm taking you to get a driver's license. A classmate's father is the captain of the Chongqing Traffic Police Headquarters. I thought I'd ask him for help to get you a license. What do you mean, turning you in? I'm just trying to keep up with you!"
"That's more like it. It's your fault for not explaining clearly. How can you blame me! But... is this okay?"
"Do you really think everything in this society is by the book? As long as you have money, there's nothing that can't be done in this society!"
...
Having connections made everything so much easier. Without even taking a test, Zhuifeng got his driver's license in the afternoon. "Bro, thank you! So who am I going to drive for?"
His Second Brother was momentarily stunned, then a smile appeared on his face. "Feng, will you always call me that in the future?"
"Call you what?"
"Brother!"
"If I don't call you brother, what should I call you?" Zhuifeng was a bit puzzled.
"Then why were you calling me 'you' all morning?"
"I..." Zhuifeng became embarrassed.
"Feng, I'm just joking! I'm really happy that you still call me brother. By the way, what were you asking just now?"
"I got a driver's license but still don't have a job. I don't have any driving experience; how can I find a job?"
"Hehe... relax, calling me brother won't be in vain. I've already thought it through for you. Let's go..."
"Where to now?"
"To find my classmate, of course."
"You're not thinking of asking your classmate for help, letting me drive for him, are you?"
"Bingo! You're half right. Not driving for him, but driving for his company. His family runs a taxi company. Stop talking nonsense, get in the car. I'll drive this time." Joking aside, seeing the excitement on Zhuifeng's face now, Second Brother didn't feel comfortable entrusting his life to him.
Looking at his brother driving attentively, Zhuifeng felt really touched.
"Brother, can I always call you this in the future?"
Damn! This time it was Second Brother's hand that shook.
"Damn! Don't look at me with those lovey-dovey eyes; I'm scared... What else would you call me if not brother? We're brothers, you know. Unless you don't want to call me brother anymore."
"No, you'll be my brother for life, and I'll call you brother for life, unless you don't want me to!"
Seeing the nervousness on Zhuifeng's face, Second Brother couldn't help but laugh heartily. "...Silly kid!"
Patting his head, Second Brother said, "Don't worry, you'll be my little brother for life. Alright, for both our safety, let's stop being so sentimental."
"Damn!" It seemed Zhuifeng didn't trust his brother's driving skills either, so he obediently fell silent.
"We're here, get out of the car!"
"Hey, get out of the car! You're not thinking of waiting for me here again, are you? No way! This time it's not possible! This is you going to find a job, you know!"
Very reluctantly, Zhuifeng got out of the car. "Damn!"
....
"Excuse me, is your boss in?"
"Which boss are you looking for?"
Wow! Jackpot! This girl is absolutely top-notch! Don't believe it? Look, even Zhuifeng, who usually never seriously looked at any girl, was now staring at the pretty lady without blinking.
Seeing his brother's expression as he stared at the girl's chest, Second Brother quickly moved away from him, with an expression that said 'I don't know him': "Which boss? Do you have several bosses?"
"Yes!"
"Do you have a boss named Shen Hong?"
"You know our young master?"
"If his name is Shen Hong, then I think that's right, that's who we're looking for."
Society was really realistic. Just now she was only polite, but now, well, it wouldn't be wrong to say she was enthusiastic. Look, she immediately sent them to the VIP room and promptly brought fruits, tea, and such.
Zhuifeng: Damn, looks like in my next life I must get to know some people with status and money! Haha...
Readers: Crawl..., stop rambling here, getting on with the story is what's important!
Zhuifeng: ...
"Hey, Zhuifeng, they've already walked far away, what are you still looking at?" His Second Brother really couldn't stand his lecherous look.
"Brother, isn't their company running taxis? How come they have company employee badges that only big companies would use? You know, the badge that the girl was wearing on her chest, is it from their company?"
His Second Brother laughed awkwardly, "Hehe, you think a taxi company is small? Do you know how many taxis there are in Chongqing?"
"Probably quite a lot!"
"Then do you know which company they belong to?"
"One company?"
"Hehe, surprised, right? Let me tell you, all the taxis in Chongqing belong to their company. With such a large scale, it's not strange for them to have their own company badge."
"Really?" Zhuifeng was indeed surprised.
"Oh my, what wind blew you, young master, to my place of all places, today? Hehe..." A hearty laugh was heard before the person even appeared.
