Xiao Ran glanced at his sleeping wife, then said to the driver in front of him in a serious tone, "Sir, could you please turn the air conditioning down a bit? My wife is asleep."
Now that you have a baby, you need to be even more careful.
Upon hearing this, the master glanced at the temperature display, blinked, and said with an uncertain look, "It's already 24 degrees Celsius, it can't be any lower, can it?"
As we all know, air conditioning burns fuel. If it's already burning fuel, why turn it up so high? You might as well just open the window!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran nodded, "Yes, two more degrees." Then he couldn't help but add, "My wife is pregnant."
If I remember correctly, this is the sixth time he has mentioned his wife's pregnancy today.
But there's nothing I can do. Every time I see her, I can't help but think about becoming a father, and my heart gets excited.
I dream of the day my baby is born, with soft, supple skin and adorable little hands and feet.
Just thinking about it makes my heart melt, let alone showing it off.
He wanted it written all over his face, wanting everyone to know that he was going to be a father!
He'll have children someday too!
Upon hearing this, the driver's face was filled with surprise, and he couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror again.
Xiao Ran is only twenty-four years old this year, and since she always likes to dress casually, she looks no more than twenty years old.
Needless to say, Yan Xici, who was sitting behind, had skin so tender it looked like you could squeeze water out of it; people would believe she was sixteen or seventeen.
These two not only drive such nice cars, but they also have a baby?
That's incredibly fast!
I'm already 27 this year. Forget about buying a car, even finding a job is a problem. Look at other people, it's really frustrating to compare yourself to others!
Thinking of this, he looked at Xiao Ran with envy.
"May I ask what you do for a living?"
Making money in the last two years has been incredibly difficult.
I used to work in finance, but my company has been doing poorly for the past two years, and there's been too little work. Out of desperation, I took a part-time job as a designated driver. To describe myself in one sentence, I'm obsessed with money!
They would never let go of even the slightest opportunity.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran paused for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "Librarian."
He's been a librarian for four years now, and that's what he says every time someone asks him; it's become a habit.
"A librarian? You must be joking. How could a librarian possibly eat at such a nice place and drive such a nice car?"
I'm a college graduate, after all. When I was in school, the librarians only earned a little over four thousand yuan a month.
Isn't he joking with himself?
The master said, "Our school's teachers only earn a little over four thousand a month now."
Xiao Ran smiled and asked, "Which school did you graduate from?"
"Jiaotong University."
The designated driver pursed his lips and couldn't help but start complaining.
"Back then, everyone was desperate to get into university, saying that a university degree meant a bright future. Who would have thought that things would get worse year after year after graduation? Now I'm even being forced to work as a designated driver, but this really means a bright future! I can drive endless cars!"
I feel embarrassed to go home if I don't drive at least 1,000 kilometers every day!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran was taken aback.
What a coincidence! I never expected to run into my senior.
"I'm a librarian at Jiaotong University!"
"Huh? You don't look any younger than me!"
I am twenty-four years old this year.
"I'm twenty-seven!"
"Then you have to call me teacher!"
Since they were from the same school, Xiao Ran spoke much more casually than before.
The senior student in front of him couldn't help but laugh. People from the same school might not know each other when they are studying together, but once they leave school, they always feel closer to each other, and the feeling is different.
It felt like being from the same hometown, and I felt very close to them.
"To be honest, are you running some kind of family business?"
The designated driver looked at Xiao Ran's face through the rearview mirror with a gossipy expression.
Now that he has left school, he has a deeper understanding of this.
It's often said that it's increasingly difficult for children from poor families to achieve success, and now it seems there's some truth to that.
These days, it's all about who your father is.
When I entered the school, I was ranked first among the top students, which made my whole family very happy. Everyone who saw me said that I was promising.
After entering university, I continued to study hard and strive for excellence.
I thought that once society tightened up and I couldn't have a good life, that would be the official start of my life. Who knew, it's so damn ironic.
It was just like Kong Yiji's long gown, full of unbearable suffering!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran was both amused and exasperated.
"There aren't that many businesses. My mom used to sell fireworks, but she closed down and went home a long time ago!"
I've really read too many novels. Family businesses are something you only see in novels and TV shows. In all my years, I only know one person who could be considered to have a family business, and I'm not even familiar with them!
The designated driver jokingly asked, "So you didn't come back from the Golden Triangle, did you?"
He couldn't imagine going anywhere else besides the Golden Triangle if he could find a less lucrative industry.
Xiao Ran almost laughed herself to death at his words.
"I write books and currently run an IP company that specializes in short videos and short dramas."
Upon hearing this, the designated driver was taken aback.
"That's a great job, no wonder he's so rich."
