The town is just as lively at night as it is during the day, and the lights of the streets on both sides of the lake are reflected on the water, making it look even more sparkling.
He Yubai asked his assistant for the hotel's location, and when he asked Jiang Mian where this place was, the assistant shook his head and said he didn't know.
"You live right here, how could you not know the locations of these hotels?"
He Yubai found it somewhat unbelievable.
“Who expects you to know everything about the surrounding buildings just because you live somewhere?” Jiang Mian argued. “Although our area is not big, it has been continuously developed as a tourist destination, and these developers have only started doing all sorts of things in the last few years.”
Jiang Mian finally laid her cards on the table: "If you ask me about old shops and old streets, I know where they are, but who would remember the name of a hotel? I have my own place to stay, why would I remember it? Young master, you should just check the navigation."
As she said this, Jiang Mian had already taken out her phone and opened the navigation.
After the two found the route and started navigating.
"Head north and turn left after driving 300 meters."
"Head west and turn left at the traffic light intersection."
Goodness, even the navigation routes are different.
He Yubai couldn't help but remark, "It must be quite easy to get lost while strolling around your small town, right?"
“It’s hard to say,” Jiang Mian finally didn’t argue. “After all, there are too many alleyways and side streets in the town. If people from other places want to take shortcuts, they have to pray that the end of those side streets is not a dead end.”
Even in big cities, navigation can lead you astray, let alone in a small town. What if you walk down a side street and find yourself in a dead end...?
"How about we each follow our own navigation?" Jiang Mian suggested, "and then meet up at the hotel entrance when we reach our destination?"
"That's a good suggestion, but please don't make the same suggestion again next time."
I didn't know until I checked the navigation that this place was actually four or five kilometers away. Was I supposed to walk there?
Are you crazy?!
Even if his legs hadn't cramped up from diarrhea today, He Yubai still couldn't possibly walk there on his own two legs!
Do they really think the money on him is just for show?!
Seeing the two of them standing helplessly by the roadside, a driver who was picking up passengers on his tricycle late at night stopped and said, "Hey handsome guys, need a ride?"
This tricycle is an electric vehicle-style model, which can protect you from the wind and rain, but the seat looks too cramped.
He Yubai frowned slightly. He actually preferred to take a taxi there and was about to refuse the other party.
Jiang Mian had already asked, "Is this hotel a good option?"
He held his phone up to the driver, who squinted at the address and nodded repeatedly: "I know this hotel very well. Many tourists book rooms here when they come to visit."
"As long as he can go, that's fine," Jiang Mian said, and they discussed the price.
The driver immediately quoted a price: "35!"
"Uncle, stop lying to me," Jiang Mian argued with him, "It's such a short distance, and you're charging 35?? Are you deliberately ripping me off?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?" the driver said impatiently. "We've always kept this price. The market supervision bureau can vouch for it. We would never rip off tourists like you. We won't do anything that would damage our reputation. If we don't have any customers in the future, how will we make a living?"
Jiang Mian was about to say that she was from here and that she couldn't fool him about this, but He Yubai stopped her: "Master, you should go. We won't take the car."
"If you're not going to take a car, why are you arguing with me for so long? You're delaying my business!"
The master resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
But before she could leave, Jiang Mian stopped her again: "Don't go yet, we need to get in the car!"
Well, even the master was confused now: "Are you going to sit or not?"
"sit!"
"I won't sit!"
After they both shouted in unison, they looked at each other in confusion.
"Alright, you two kids are quite amusing. Let's see you argue it out and see who I should listen to."
"Are you stupid?" Jiang Mian whispered to He Yubai, "Why don't you sit down?"
The driver was watching them closely, so He Yubai couldn't reveal his true thoughts. He could only downplay it by saying, "The seats are too small. It's too cramped for the two of us."
"so?"
"Let's take a taxi."
"Take a taxi?" Jiang Mian's eyes widened. "Young Master He, please open your eyes and look around. What kind of taxis can we take in this small town?"
"I saw it's available on a mobile app..."
"Can you what?" Jiang Mian frowned. "Can you take a taxi? In this crowded street, do you believe that even if you take a taxi now, the distance is only a few hundred meters, do you believe that you can wait for half an hour for those few hundred meters?"
"That's outrageous??"
He Yubai had never experienced anything like this before, so he naturally didn't know how bizarre it was.
"So, taking this kind of electric tricycle is the most cost-effective. You don't have to worry about traffic jams or traffic jams on the road. If you have an emergency, you can take a shortcut through the traffic."
Jiang Mian's analysis was very logical. Seeing the tall young man hesitate, the master urged, "Have you two made up your minds? I'm in a hurry to pick up the next customer."
"It's settled, let's sit down!"
Even though they were seated, Jiang Mian still wanted to haggle over the price: "How about 30 yuan?"
"35 really didn't take advantage of either of you."
The driver thought the two of them would just get in the car and he could drive off, but this handsome young man actually insisted on paying the price.
He was exhausted, but Jiang Mian refused to back down.
"25!"
Damn, the price is getting lower and lower!
The driver was really getting fed up: "It's only 35 yuan, you can take it if you don't want to!"
