Xie Nancheng, the heir of a top-tier wealthy family, suddenly developed a hidden illness. His pre-arranged marriage partner was swapped, replaced by a young adopted daughter from the countryside to...
Chapter 81: Do me a favor
"I'm not discriminating, don't worry, little girl."
"I'm just speaking the truth."
"Look at the traffic accidents that occur in Xiangcheng every year. How many of them involve female drivers?"
"Will there be no accidents with male drivers? Will there be no drunk driving?" Tu Ran asked back.
"If you want to talk about this, I won't argue with you. If you want to learn, then learn. I'll be happy to take your money." The uncle waved his hand, looking a little impatient, and no longer wanted to discuss the matter with Tu Ran.
"How soon can I get a driver's license here?"
"Theoretically, the fastest is 20 days."
"So long? Is there anything faster?" Tu Ran asked.
"Girl, in our driver's license records, the fastest girl to get a driver's license took 37 days. Do you understand?"
"I know you young people are smart. You can easily catch Section One and Section Four."
"But Section 2 and Section 3 are the most important. Why don't you come with me and see what Section 2 is?"
"Tell me first, how long will it take to get a driver's license?"
The uncle casually flipped through the calendar and looked at the workday schedule and so on.
"Let's put it this way. Even if all four exams are seamless, it'll still take at least fifteen days. Of course, this is because the principal of our driving school has connections who can give you the green light. But there's a prerequisite: you must pass each test on the first try, understand? If you fail the second test, you'll have to wait a long time before registering again."
"How much is it? Ten thousand, right?"
"Yes, if you want to get your license as soon as possible, it's ten thousand yuan."
"Okay, sign up and schedule my exam now."
"You'd better take the second test first, little girl. I'm afraid your CPU won't be able to handle it." The uncle smiled sarcastically.
"Let's go and take a look."
Tu Ran had never touched a car before. He had only sat in one but had no idea about driving theory.
The uncle who registered the students called a second-level instructor, a young man with red lips and white teeth.
"Come, you take her with you. If she can practice backing into a parking space today, you'll be considered smart."
This young man is quite patient.
After explaining some basic functions of the car to Tu Ran, he personally demonstrated how to reverse into a parking space.
And it is displayed on both the left and right sides of the warehouse.
"Understood."
"Do you want to give it a try? Don't be anxious, don't be nervous, remember what I just told you."
"Hold the steering wheel and don't shake your legs."
"You have to be strong mentally. It's okay. This is a training car. I'm sitting in the passenger seat. I won't let anything happen to you."
The coach may have seen too many girls break down while learning to drive.
So when he saw a young and beautiful girl like Tu Ran, he was very patient.
Tu Ran nodded, "I understand, thank you, coach."
"Then try it, drive slowly."
"good."
In the next scene, Tu Ran's actions shocked the young coach and the uncle at the registration office.
Because she demonstrated reversing into a parking space with almost perfect and smooth techniques.
"You..." The coach didn't know what to say for a moment?
"Do you know how to drive, little girl? You must have learned it at home?" asked the uncle at the registration office.
“Never learned it.”
"This is my first time sitting in the passenger seat."
"It's absolutely impossible. I've never learned it. It's impossible to be so perfect." The uncle insisted.
"Then I'm teaching you how to parallel park?" the young instructor asked tentatively.
As a result, whether it is parallel parking, starting on a slope, or the S-curve at the back.
Tu Ran would watch the coach practice once and then imitate him perfectly.
And it’s more standard than what the coach drives.
The uncle at the registration desk almost dropped his jaw in shock.
It’s been less than an hour and you’ve basically passed the second subject?
"You...this..." the uncle stuttered.
"Uncle, do you think I'm a roadkill?" Tu Ran asked with a smile.
"If you're that clever, then the registration fee doesn't need to be 10,000. I'll just charge you 7,000."
"Thank you, uncle. Please sign me up. I hope to get my driver's license as soon as possible."
"Wait, I'll call the third-level instructor over first, and you can learn from him."
The uncle was worried. He thought, what if the girl had no problem with the second test but failed the third test?
The male instructor for Subject 3, a bald man, was called over.
As a result, the big brother suddenly took a few turns on the road and came back to explain to the uncle at the registration office.
"Hurry up and sign her up. This kid will learn quickly."
"Subject three is no problem."
The way the uncle looked at Tu Ran this time was different from when he first entered the door.
"Okay, little girl, I underestimated you."
"It's nothing special. I just learn things quickly. I have a good memory and can master them quickly. Also, please don't discriminate against female drivers."
The uncle suddenly felt ashamed and his face turned red.
Tu Ran felt that this was not an extraordinary skill and did not take it seriously.
After finishing her work at the driving school in the afternoon, she returned to the Xie family.
She did not suggest the matter of taking the driver's license test to the Xie family, nor did she tell the old lady.
She planned to wait until her driver's license came out and then have Xie Nancheng take her to buy a car.
It is certainly not a good idea to ask people to buy a car.
So she decided to let Xie Nancheng register the car in the Xie family's name, which would mean that she had no selfish motives.
It's open as long as you stay at Xie's house.
If she really leaves the Xie family in the future, the car, the house, and other things will have nothing to do with her.
She had never thought of owning it.
When Gu Xixing sent the WeChat message, Tu Ran had just come out of the greenhouse in the Xie family's back garden.
Gu Xixing: Are you busy?
Tu Ran: Just finished.
Gu Xixing: It seems that I posted it at the right time.
Tu Ran replied with a smiley face emoticon.
Gu Xixing: I hope I didn’t disturb you by sending you a WeChat message without your permission.
Gu Xixing knew that she was from the Xie family and was also well aware of her special situation.
Tu Ran: No, do you have something to talk to me about?
Gu Xixing: Well, I want to ask, when will you treat me to the meal you promised me?
Tu Ran suddenly felt a little embarrassed: When do you want to eat?
Gu Xixing: Why not wait for a better day? Is tonight okay?
It was actually not convenient for Tu Ran to go out at night, but he had promised the other party that meal.
Besides, the other person had saved his life, so he agreed.
Tu Ran: Sure, no problem. What do you want to eat? I’ll make a reservation.
Gu Xixing: Anything is fine, I’m not picky.
Tu Ran: Okay, I’ll go look for it and send it to you later.
Gu Xixing: Okay.
Tu Ran had never treated anyone to a meal before, so he took out his mobile phone app and browsed through it for a long time.
I finally found a private restaurant that looked pretty good, and the average cost per person was 630.
A meal for two people would cost more than a thousand yuan, which was a lot of money for Tu Ran.
After all, she is not making any money yet and is still supported by the Xie family's money.
Tu Ran: Let’s do it here, Mr. Gu, is that okay?
Gu Xixing: Sure.
Tu Ran: Then see you at 7:30 in the evening?
Gu Xixing: Okay.
In the evening
Tu Ran went out at around six o'clock. The Xie family was just like that. No one asked where Tu Ran was going.
My parents-in-law are often not at home because they are attending activities, so Mrs. Xie doesn't ask about it.
Xie Nancheng seldom ate at home, so as long as Xie Huailan and Xie Huaishan's families were not around, life was actually quite peaceful.
Private restaurant
When Tu Ran arrived, Gu Xixing had already arrived as promised.
He was still dressed very gentlemanly, in a long black coat and a high-end scarf.
Refreshing short hair and delicate facial features.
The elegance and nobility in every gesture are not easily imitated just by having money.
This is a style that comes from the bones, rather than the nobility cultivated by generations of aristocrats.
"Actually, I want to meet you today because I have a favor to ask for your help." Gu Xixing suddenly said.
"Huh?" Tu Ran was a little surprised.
Because she didn't think she and Gu Xixing were familiar enough to help him.
