After Breaking Up, I Reached the Pinnacle of Life!

The protagonist of the story, Wang Yitong, has a life path full of twists and turns. After graduation, she began her career, but emotional upheavals followed one after another.

In her first r...

Chapter 32: Getting Started 2

Because Wang Yitong had told Wu Meili that she had an appointment with the coach she recommended for lunch, Wu Meili took Wang Yitong to her apartment complex on a scooter. Luo Chenggang even said he would treat Wang Yitong to a meal, but when he came out, everyone in the office had left.

"Well, now the employees are the bosses." Luo Chenggang said jokingly.

Wu Yitong arrived at the Changzheng Driving School, where Coach Liu was waiting for her. He explained the school's details and fees. Wang Yitong said, "Coach Liu, I want to get my driver's license sooner. I won't be going home during the National Day holiday, so I want to practice driving earlier."

Coach Liu said, "C1 is a traditional manual transmission, but you can drive an automatic, so the fee is lower. C2 is automatic-only, and the registration fee is higher because there are fewer automatic transmission training vehicles and they use more fuel. If you want to get your license quickly, then practice for C2, and the registration fee is 5,600 yuan. You'll have to pay the exam registration fee separately. I'll take you for a physical exam on Saturday before you can start registering, and you'll also need your passport. I'll text you the specific requirements, and I'll pick you up outside your community on Saturday. When you're free, send me the name of your community."

Wang Yitong thought about it. She remembered that her college roommate was practicing with a manual transmission and was always scolded by the instructor. She would come back and complain about the engine stalling. It took them both more than a year to get their licenses. "Coach Liu, I'm going to practice with an automatic transmission. Please take me to practice when the time comes."

"Then you pay the money first, and I will give you a receipt right away. Also, go back and take a good look at this driving test handbook. The questions for subjects one and four are all selected from it. 100 points, 90 points for passing. Hand me your ID card, I'll make a copy of it." After saying that, he took the bank card handed over by Wang Yitong, swiped the fee on the POS machine, and after copying the information, handed her his business card, Wang Yitong's original ID card, the receipt and the driving test handbook.

"I've checked your ID. You're not from Chengdu, so you'll need to get a residence permit before you can enroll in a driving school. I took you there on Saturday. Luckily, our driving school has a strong relationship with the police station in this area, so they can help you with the paperwork. I'm going back to eat first. You can contact me if you have any questions." After saying that, Coach Liu hurriedly left the store and returned to his community.

Looking at Coach Liu's background, Wang Yitong looked around. Most of the area was Juming Community, and there were only a few banks near the office. She could only deposit money when she got home, so she had no choice but to go eat. She decided to find a place nearby to grab a bite to eat. She walked into a snack bar, ordered a simple set meal, and quietly enjoyed the quiet moment.

After lunch, Wang Yitong took the bus back to the company. After getting off the bus, she found the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. Luckily, it wasn't crowded at noon, so she could go straight to the counter. She pulled two envelopes and her bank card from her bag, handed them to the teller, and deposited 50,000 yuan. The teller kept asking her to apply for a fixed-term deposit, but she quickly said she wanted a term deposit. The teller handed Wang Yitong the card and receipt.

She took the card and put it back in her bag. She looked at the time, not yet 1 a.m. She had checked the nearest dental clinic last night and found it wasn't far away, so she took the bus to the Asian-African Dental Clinic.

Wang Yitong arrived at the dental clinic, and the atmosphere made her a little nervous. She took a deep breath and walked into the office. The receptionist asked if she had an appointment. She said no, but she wanted to have her teeth straightened. The receptionist took her to a dentist.

The dentist was a gentle and friendly doctor who greeted her with a smile. Wang Yitong sat in the treatment chair and described her dental problems with some trepidation.

The dentist carefully examined her teeth and patiently explained to her the orthodontic treatment plan and precautions.

Wang Yitong listened carefully to the dentist's explanation, and the anxiety in her heart gradually eased.

The dentist then asked her about her expectations and needs for orthodontic treatment. Wang Yitong thought for a moment and expressed her hope to achieve more beautiful and healthier results through orthodontic treatment.

The dentist nodded, indicating that he understood her idea, and gave some specific suggestions and options based on her situation.

Wang Yitong listened and thought, and asked some questions about the pain level, duration, and possible risks during the correction process.

The dentist gave her detailed answers one by one, allowing her to have a clearer understanding of the entire correction process.

After the communication, the dentist arranged a series of examinations and preparations.

Wang Yitong nervously followed the dentist's instructions and completed various examinations, such as intraoral and extraoral examinations, and X-rays: panoramic oral radiographs, lateral cephalograms, and CT scans. After the examination, the doctor took impressions of her teeth.

The dentist reconfirmed some details with her and informed her of the next steps. After the impressions were taken, an orthodontic plan would be developed. This process would determine, based on the patient's dental condition, whether extractions, slice cuts, or molar retractions were necessary, whether anchorage pins were needed, and an estimated correction timeline. The plan would try to meet the patient's wishes while maintaining the corrective effect.

When she finished all this, she saw that it was almost 1:30, so she quickly sent a text message to Sister Meili, telling her that she was still in the dental clinic and would need to stay for a while before returning to the company. If Mr. Luo asked, she would help her ask for leave.

After a while, Wu Meili replied to her: "Go and do your thing. If Mr. Luo asks, I will ask for leave for you."

"We currently offer metal brackets, ceramic brackets, lingual orthodontics, and invisible orthodontics. Their advantages and disadvantages are..." the dentist explained, along with their prices. Wang Yitong thought about it and chose metal orthodontics, which she felt was more suitable for her and cost 15,000 yuan.

The dentist continued to explain the specific process and precautions of metal orthodontics to Wang Yitong. Wang Yitong listened carefully and asked some questions from time to time. The dentist gave detailed answers to each one.

After finalizing the plan, Wang Yitong went to pay the fee. After paying, she checked the time. It was almost two o'clock. She hurried out of the dental clinic and rushed back to the office. Once there, Wang Yitong hurried to find Sister Meili to thank her.

Sister Meili smiled and said, "It's okay. Mr. Luo didn't come to the company this afternoon, so it's okay if you're a little late. How's the dental clinic going?"

"Once the dental model is ready, they will notify me to see the plan and then I can go for correction." Wang Yitong had another thing resolved in her mind.

"That's good. Dentistry is very expensive nowadays. Last time I had a toothache, I went to the dentist for a check-up and the result was that I needed to extract the tooth. One tooth cost me more than two thousand. Your orthodontic treatment is even more expensive. Dentists still make money! I can't change my husband, so I can only train my child to be a dentist." Wu Meili said jokingly.

"Sister Meili, you can also find a dentist for your child." The two joked with each other.

Wang Yitong returned to her seat and began to work, thinking that after her teeth were straightened, she would smile more confidently and beautifully.
