I rode for a few seconds and then fell.

The entire factory gate was silent; everyone was staring at him... at the car next to him.

Su Dazhi sat on the ground and cried, "Sister, the bike crashed, it crashed..."

Su Yu and Su Zhi stared in disbelief for a moment. Then they both ran over. Su Yu gently patted Su Zhi's shoulder, "It's okay that you fell, as long as you're alright. This car is of good quality, it's not that easy to break."

Su Zhi steadied the car, his face full of heartache. "It's all scratched up. This was our family's first car."

"Sister, sister, I promise I'll study hard. Sister, I'm so sorry. Sister..." Su Dazhi wiped away tears with emotion.

Su Yu: "..." She simply stood up. "Zhi, watch your brother practice. It doesn't matter if the bike gets damaged, you have to learn! You can't go your whole life without riding a bike, what's the point of buying it?" If he doesn't learn, who will drive him in the future?

She really wouldn't want to hire a driver like this if she had other options. It's a real problem.

Su Dazhi's eyes were red with emotion. His sister was so good to him; she valued him more than a bicycle.

"Sister, I will definitely practice hard."

After a week of practice, Comrade Su Dazhi finally graduated. To test his cycling skills, Su Yu specially asked him to take Liu Mei to work the first time he took someone with him.

“As Dazhi’s wife, it’s the first time he’s taking someone with him, so it has to be you. Tomorrow, Dazhi will ride his bike to take you to work.” She then said to Su Dazhi, “Dazhi, you should get up early tomorrow and take a longer route.”

"Oh." Su Dazhi nodded. He had to listen to his sister.

This made Liu Mei so excited that she couldn't sleep all night. The next morning, she dragged Su Dazhi out of bed and took her to work.

When Su Yu returned home from get off work that evening and saw that Liu Mei was unharmed, she finally officially allowed Su Dazhi to be her full-time driver.

With someone picking her up and dropping her off by bike every day, and the prospect of living in a 'luxury house' next year, Su Yu feels that her standard of living is almost back to what it used to be.

On Saturday, Su Yu received another call from Secretary Gao.

After long and persistent efforts, he finally managed to invite Secretary Song to a dinner party as preparation for the Spring Festival.

Upon hearing this, Su Yu frowned. Frankly, ever since she bought the bicycle, she hadn't really wanted to have dinner with Secretary Song.

After all, I've seen him cry before; what if he holds a grudge?

So we can only let time take its toll.

However, I can't refuse Secretary Gao's invitation. There are so many delicious dishes; wouldn't it be a waste not to go?

So the following weekend, she rode her own bicycle to the banquet.

On the way, Su Dazhi asked, "Sis, should I come back to pick you up?"

“That’s a must,” Su Yu said.

Su Dazhi nodded, "Sis, when should I come?"

"Come over around lunchtime. Remember to come early, don't keep me waiting. Otherwise, if everyone else leaves and I'm the only one still here, I'll lose face."

"Sister, I'll definitely come early," Su Dazhi quickly said.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Su Yu saw Secretary Song's bicycle. Don't ask her how she knew it was Secretary Song's bicycle; who would tie a red ribbon to their bike for no reason?

Knowing that the person in question had arrived, she quickly ran inside.

As soon as I entered, I saw three people surrounding Secretary Song, who was smoking and looking out the door with an arrogant expression.

Upon seeing Su Yu enter, he immediately glanced to the side.

Secretary Gao smiled and said, "Secretary Su is here."

As Su Yu took off her scarf, she said, "Yes, why are you all here so early?"

Secretary Gao said, "Secretary Song, it's been a long time. Come over early to get together with everyone and have a chat."

Secretary Song exhaled a puff of smoke. "It's better to come early for meals; we can't let them get hot."

Su Yu smiled and said, "Secretary Song, your awareness has improved a lot. I need to learn from you. I should come to meals earlier in the future so they don't get hot."

Secretary Song: "..."
