Chapter 148 Zhou Ran Enters Part 2

Zhou Ran was complained by a customer because he failed to deliver samples to the agent in time due to problems with the car. After returning, Lao Zhang scolded him and the driver was also fired by the Human Resources Department.

The next day, the repair shop called and said that the car's paint had been repaired and there were no other problems, so I could drive it away.

Xiao Zhang is calling a meeting with the supervisors and is busy, so just ask him to go and come back.

Zhou Ran turned around, and Xiao Zhang suddenly called him: "Xiao Ran, can you drive? Do you have a driver's license?"

Zhou Ran gave him an OK gesture: "Yes."

Xiao Zhang was worried, like he was leaving his mother's arms for the first time, about to do something earth-shattering. In front of all the supervisors, he reminded them again: "Be careful! Come back soon."

"Okay!" Zhou Ran returned to the office, put on his bag and left.

I just want to go out for a stroll.

Zhou Ran arrived at the repair shop and the staff handed him the bill: "Two hundred in total."

Oh, it’s such a big piece, plus the scratches on the ground, two hundred yuan is quite cheap, Master Zhou, who has never been a householder and has never experienced the hardships of daily life, thought to himself.

He was used to spending money without thinking, so he took out his wallet from his bag and opened it quite readily, with several ten-dollar bills neatly sandwiched inside.

“…”

He realized that he hadn't touched the bright red RMB for a long time.

Zhou Ran quickly closed his wallet as if he was afraid that the money would be blown away by the wind, leaving the repairman confused.

The young man saw that he had a lot of cards in his wallet and said, "You can pay by credit card."

Of course Young Master Zhou knew it. If he could swipe it, would he not swipe it?

Just when he was in trouble, he came to his senses and realized that he was not supposed to give the money.

Zhou Ran didn't care about his handsome face, and said with a flushed face: "Wait for me for a moment, I'll make a phone call."

The maintenance guy had something else to do: "Okay, the car keys are inside."

When Zhou Ran saw him come in, he wiped his face and dialed Yan Nian's cell phone number.

Yesterday, she seemed to have said that she rarely answered the phone.

Zhou Ran stared at the van and thought about it, then switched to the WeChat page, considering how to call the person over and pay him.

I was thinking of going back and talking about it later, but I didn’t expect to have trouble with money.

Zhou Ran edited a long string of text, deleting and reducing it, and finally narrowed it down to a location and a few words.

Zhou Ran: Please come over and pay the fee.

He thought of a lot of reasons and what to say to her when he saw her.

After all, he doesn't look like a poor guy.

Zhou Ran sat at the door of the maintenance shop waiting for news, and the young man enthusiastically brought him a cup of hot tea.

Ten minutes had passed, and the young man gave him a warm smile every time he walked by.

Zhou Ran felt very uneasy. Although he didn't think that Yan Nian would deny her responsibility, waiting like this was not a solution. He suddenly felt that staying in the factory was not bad either.

Just as I was about to call Xiao Zhang to come over for help, I received a message from Yan Nian.

Yan Nian: [Okay, I'll be right over.]

Zhou Ran typed two words "no rush" and then deleted them. He was very anxious now.

Zhou Ran: [Okay.]

He turned the stool around and sat with his back to the repair shop's facade. He felt a little embarrassed to face the young man, as he would probably have to come back for a refill of tea or something later.

Twenty minutes later, the taxi that brought Yan Nian stopped on the side of the road in front of him.

Zhou Ran was playing with his phone with his head down and didn't notice someone was approaching him. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a pair of white canvas shoes parked next to him.

He looked up, seeing crystal clear legs, denim shorts, and a half-tucked white shirt...

His eyes met the slightly raised, charming eyes beneath the baseball cap.

Yan Nian looked at him sternly.

Zhou Ran was stunned for a moment, then he touched his nose and stood up: "Here I come."

Why is there no sound? It's scary.

"Yes. Sorry for the long wait." Yan Nian asked calmly, "How much?"

"Oh," Zhou Ran handed her the bill, "exactly two hundred."

Yan Nian took it and glanced at it, "Okay."

After saying that, she walked straight into the store and paid.

Zhou Ran followed him into the store, took the car keys, and came out one after another.

Zhou Ran said, "Let's go."

Yan Nian nodded: "Okay."

Zhou Ran opened the car door and got in. Yan Nian went to the roadside to hail a taxi.

The young master got into the car and started driving it violently, turning the engine off and on again, over and over again.

The fifth time, Zhou Ran got mad and started the car again. He had no doubt about how he got his driver's license. He firmly believed that it was the problem with this broken car.

Yan Nian turned her head, slightly curved the corners of her lips, and turned back.

When Zhou Ran caught her, she had already turned her head away and shamelessly shouted to the boy lying under the car: "Brother, help me check the clutch."

The young man popped his head out from under the car: "Wait a moment, I just found the problem."

"OK."

Zhou Ran turned off the engine and waited in the car.

Several taxis had passed by in front of us, all of them empty.

At this moment, there was a knock on the car window and Zhou Ran turned his head away.

Yan Nian stood outside: "Let me try!"

Zhou Ran opened the car door and got out, enthusiastically giving the driving seat to Yan Nian.

He mumbled back and forth trying to find excuses for the series of actions he had just taken.

Yan Nian got in the car with the door open. He stood by the driver's seat and watched, unable to move.

Yan Nian didn't start the car. He smelled a sticky smell and concluded, "Maybe the clutch plate is burned out?"

Zhou Ran put his hand on the car door and asked, "Is it broken?"

"Yeah." Yan Nian was sitting in the driver's seat, and she had to half-raise her head to look him in the eye.

"How do you know?"

Yan Nian couldn't say that she burned her instructor's car when she first learned to drive.

Zhou Ran continued to block the way without any tact, trying to recall if there was anything wrong with his previous operation.

Yan Nian finally couldn't help but speak: "Please move aside, it smells burnt."

Zhou Ran quickly removed his hand from the car door and let her get out.

After Yan finished reading it, Zhou Ran stuck his head inside the car and sniffed, and there was indeed a faint burnt smell.

Can this be considered a bad clutch plate?

He didn't pay attention to it at first. The place where the car was repaired was smelly, which disturbed his sense of smell.

This is the place the driver found yesterday. He said it’s faster to repair the paint in this kind of place.

A bright idea suddenly flashed through Zhou Ran's mind. Now that it's broken, he has to pay for the repairs?

The young man came over covered in dust and asked, "What's going on?"

"Forehead."

Zhou Ran said, "The clutch seems to be broken."

The young man got into the car and checked it carefully. Then he got out and said, "Yes, it is indeed on fire. How did you operate it? Did you not cooperate well?"

The two looked at Zhou Ran together.

Zhou Ran admired Yan Nian's judgment and said shamelessly, "Repair it! How long will it take to fix it?"

The young man pointed at the cars waiting in line for repair and said, "It's probably the day after tomorrow. Your job is different from repainting, so it will take longer."

Zhou Ran calculated and asked, "How much does it cost to repair it?"

The guy replied, "Your model is about 400."

Hiss~four hundred.

Zhou Ran is worried about money. He only earns 120 yuan a day, and his salary will not be paid until the fifth of next month!

He really felt a little hesitant to ask someone to borrow 400 yuan. The first person he thought of was Wang Hongyu, who would definitely laugh at him.

In the past, he always lent money to others, and never borrowed money from anyone.

Zhou Ran responded: "Okay, let's fix it."

"Leave it here. I'll call you when I'm done." The young man said and took his keys away.

Zhou Ran looked at the van sadly, then looked at Yan Nian who was still standing beside him.

"You, go back. I have to go back to work too."

Yan Nian didn't leave and said, "Let me treat you to lunch."
