A Life of Financial Freedom

Ordinary people always fantasize about financial freedom, beautiful women, luxury cars, yachts... However, compared to all these material things, Chu Fang desires a sincere relationship even more, ...

Chapter 229 Strong wind, weak wind, flat ground, uneven ground...

It was another sunny day; spring in Shanghai is so warm and pleasant.

Inside the driving school, Chu Fang, Yang Meina, and Zhong Rou squatted in a corner, watching the training car.

At this moment, Zhong Tingyue frowned, looking serious and solemn, and followed the coach's instructions to adjust the steering wheel.

Zhong Rou said, "If we make another bet, my sister will crash again."

Yang Meina: "I'll still bet twenty that your sister will definitely crash."

Zhong Rou turned her gaze to Chu Fang, who bit his lip and said, "I'll bet another forty that your sister will succeed."

Bang~~~

As soon as he finished speaking, a soft sound rang out. Zhong Rou and Yang Meina clapped their hands together, while Chu Fang's lips twitched.

Huge loss!

He reluctantly scanned the QR code to pay.

Zhong Tingyue slowly walked over, and Zhong Rou ran up to her enthusiastically, handing her water: "Sister, you're much better this time than before, you've improved."

"Really?" Zhong Tingyue thought for a moment, and it seemed that there was progress. The sound of the impact was much quieter than the previous times. "It's mainly because the wind was too strong today, which interfered with my thinking."

"Yes, yes." Zhong Rou nodded. "Keep going, you'll succeed someday."

"Yeah, right." Chu Fang rolled his eyes. "My dear sister, if you don't have the talent for driving, then don't learn. I'll be your driver from now on."

"You don't trust me?"

"It's not that I don't trust you." He showed his phone screen to his girlfriend, "Because of you, I've already lost several hundred yuan."

Chu Fang was always full of anticipation when he made a bet, but he always ended up regretting it.

These two treated him like an ATM.

"It's too windy today," Zhong Tingyue replied.

“Yes, the wind is strong, the wind is weak, the ground is flat, the ground is uneven, the coach’s voice is too soft, my stomach hurts…” Chu Fang counted on her fingers, listing the reasons Zhong Tingyue had come up with these past few days. Each reason was related to external environmental factors and had nothing to do with her.

After counting, he said, "Even my little sister has already learned to drive."

“Impossible!” Zhong Tingyue’s voice was firm. “Zhong Rou, go learn to drive. If you succeed, I’ll give you a thousand yuan.”

Zhong Tingyue needs to find the dignity she deserves for her mistakes.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Rou was overjoyed and headed towards the training car. After discussing with the instructor, and with everyone's supervision, Zhong Rou was allowed to learn simple reverse parking.

With the coach's guidance and everyone's reminders, Zhong Rou sat in her high driver's seat and slowly backed the car into the parking space, then turned off the engine.

"Hey, where are you going?" Chu Fang called out as he watched Zhong Tingyue quietly leave, but she ignored him.

He patted Zhong Rou on the shoulder: "You too, you don't even give your sister any face."

The sister-in-law scratched her face: "How was I supposed to know it was that easy? It was just the simplest operation."

“... ..."

The bar was quiet and deserted in the afternoon, with only a few customers.

Ren Feiping asked, "What brings you here today?"

Chu Fang shrugged: "Zhong Tingyue is learning to drive nearby."

These past few days, Zhong Tingyue has been almost obsessed with learning to drive. She had just finished meeting with a client and, taking advantage of the fact that she didn't have much to do in the afternoon, she came to learn to drive again.

Even though Yang Meina had already passed her driving test (Part 2), she was still a novice and knew almost nothing about the test items.

Of course, after so much practice, she has made progress; at least she hasn't crashed again.

When Zhong Tingyue was practicing driving, Chu Fang also suffered. If he stayed with her, she would feel disgusted and contemptuous of Chu Fang, so she simply kicked Chu Fang out of the driving school and went to find somewhere else to have fun.

"Do you think learning to drive is that difficult?" Chu Fang asked.

He learned to drive very smoothly back then, passing all his lessons on the first try.

“Hmm… ” Ren Feiping hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Does your use of ‘vehicle’ have any symbolic meaning?”

“... ..."

Looking at Chu Fang's calm face, Ren Feiping smiled and said, "To some extent, learning to drive requires a certain talent. When you sit in the driver's seat, you have to become one with the car and move it like an arm. That requires 'car feel'. Obviously, Fairy Sister is just floating around and doesn't have 'car feel'."

"So how do you develop a feel for cars?"

Practice more.

“... ..."

What's the difference between this and not saying anything at all?

"Huh? It's so expensive?!"

Chu Fang was drinking his beverage when a voice suddenly caught his attention. He looked in the direction of the sound and raised an eyebrow.

Several girls stared at the bartender with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Quite by chance, Chu Fang met one of the girls, Fu Xiangyu, a "close and kind sister" he had met once before on a blind date.

“But we didn’t order these drinks.” One of the girls frowned. “They were ordered by that boy. We don’t know him. He came up to us on his own.”

The bartender bowed slightly: "That customer has already left without paying, and you also drank those drinks. I can give you a 20% discount, that's [amount] yuan."

Upon hearing this, the women turned pale. More than 60,000 yuan was an astronomical figure that was unimaginable for college students.

They hadn't expected that while they were drinking, a handsome man approached them, and they drank with him. The man then left the bar under the pretext of going to the restroom, leaving the girls to pay the bill.

At this moment, the girls felt ice-cold all over, as if they were in an ice cellar.

Just then, a soft voice caught the girl's attention: "Put it on my tab."

The group looked in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome man speaking to the waiter.

Fu Xiangyu's eyes lit up immediately, and she stood up: "Brother Chu Fang."

Chu Fangtai was well aware of the shady dealings in the nightlife scene. With just a few words, he knew the predicament Fu Xiangyu and the others were in, and it was clear that they had been tricked out of food and drink by a scumbag.

Considering that they had met once before and that her parents had some connection with Chu Fang's parents, he naturally wanted to help Fu Xiangyu out of that predicament.

The waiter glanced at Chu Fang, knowing that this man was a big customer of the bar and a friend of the owner. He bowed slightly and then left.

"Thank you, Brother Chu Fang," Fu Xiangyu said softly.

The other girls, realizing their predicament was over, apologized to Chu Fang.

He waved his hand and said, "You're still young. Don't come to bars too often. It's a mixed bag of people here. Don't trust anyone."
