Chapter 34 034 Driving a Truck
Kaizi, who was originally walking out in a hurry, stopped in his tracks when he heard An Xin's words. He glanced at An Xin casually, his eyes full of laziness and indifference, and he spoke slowly.
"Oh, it's An Xin. Why are you so late today?"
This girl always comes to him on time to rent a car, so why is she late today?
Hearing the sarcasm in Kaizi's words, An Xin concealed the awkwardness on her face and spoke slowly.
"I had something to do today, so I came late. Where's my car? Can you keep it for me?"
The car better still be there, or she wouldn't be making much money today.
Thinking of this, An Xin couldn't help revealing a hint of disappointment on her face, which was noticed by Kaizi. He smiled, but his tone was still indescribable indifference and laziness.
"Oh, are you talking about the car that I rent you to drive on weekdays?"
An Xin spoke urgently.
"Yeah, are you still there?"
If it was there, she would be willing to continue renting it at the previous price so that she could make money as quickly as possible.
Now that her mother is in hospital and the whole family is staying in the provincial capital, she has to make money faster than they spend it.
Under An Xin's expectant eyes, Kaizi's words were still lazy.
"I'm sorry, you're late for that car, and it's been rented by someone else."
Just a few words pushed An Xin to the brink of despair for no reason.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. If she had known this would happen, she should have paid the deposit last night. It was all her fault for being careless for a moment. Thinking of this, An Xin slowly raised her eyes and asked.
"Kaizi, do you have any other cars that can be rented out? I'm willing to pay an extra 20 yuan, so you can rent it to me!"
As long as there is a car and as long as it can be driven on the road, she is willing to pay more money. After all, she was indeed in the wrong today. She came late and did not ask Kaizi to leave the car for her. It was her fault. Since she can't make up for it, she can only try other methods.
This time Kaizi folded his arms and spoke nonchalantly.
"Oh, I'm really sorry. I have rented out all the cars I have."
An Xin: “…”
Well, it seems that she can’t drive a taxi to pick up customers and sell things today! Well, I might as well go to the hospital and take good care of my mother until tomorrow morning.
Thinking of this, An Xin said to Kaizi.
"In that case, could you please reserve a car for me tomorrow?"
Having said that, he thought that his words were a little pale to a gangster, so he quickly added.
"I can pay you a deposit!"
After saying that, he reached into his pocket, ready to take out money to pay the deposit. If he couldn't rent a car tomorrow, how would he live?
Kaizi stared at Anxin's movements and said slowly.
"Don't worry, An Xin, don't you just want to drive a car and make money?"
Kaizi's words made Anxin stop what she was doing and she replied in confusion.
"Yes, I drive a taxi just to make money."
If it's not for making money, is driving a taxi just for fun? How much playfulness does that require?
Please forgive my superficiality, my living standard is not yet at that level.
Kaizi's voice came over.
“Can the truck be driven?”
An Xin nodded mechanically.
"Yes, I can drive any car!"
I can basically drive any car, it’s just a matter of whether I’m that skilled or not. I’ll be able to get the hang of it with more practice.
If driving a tractor could make money, An Xin might give it a try.
Kaizi looked at Anxin's straightforward answer and nodded with satisfaction.
“As long as it can be opened!”
An Xin: “…”
So I just wanted to ask her if she can drive a truck? How bored must this guy be to be here asking questions to the end.
"Anxin, I have a truck driving job here. Do you want to do it? The labor fee is 300 yuan a day. If you can do it, we can go now. If not, please come early tomorrow to rent a truck."
Kaizi looked at An Xin steadily, as if waiting for her answer. In fact, he had not planned to let An Xin drive the truck before, he just wanted to test her. He didn't expect that this woman could really drive a truck. It just so happened that he was in need of a truck driver.
Anyway, the price he offered was attractive enough, and he had no intention of defrauding An Xin of the fruits of her labor. After so many years in the underworld, Kaizi deeply understood a truth: while he had meat to eat, he also had to give others soup. Every industry has its own rules of survival, and it all depends on An Xin's own intentions.
Anxin was surprised that Kaizi would ask her so many questions. It turned out that he wanted her to drive a truck. So she frowned and thought about it, then said to Kaizi.
"Being a truck driver, 300 yuan a day, this price is indeed a bit low. How about this, you give me 400 foreign exchange certificates a day, and I will go with you to drive a truck."
This price is not very high for Anxin, who drives a taxi and sells goods at the same time. It is just an average value.
But it's better than doing nothing and sitting at home in the cold.
An Xin's words made Kaizi suddenly laugh. He looked at An Xin steadily and laughed heartily.
"Four hundred foreign exchange certificates a day? You dare to ask for that?"
In the truck driver business, three hundred yuan a day is already considered a high salary. Thanks to the fact that he is the leader in this industry, he dares to offer such a high salary. He didn't expect that there was a little girl who was ignorant of the world and dared to stand in front of him and raise the price.
Compared to Kaizi's inner thoughts, Anxin was very calm. She spoke without changing her expression.
"How is it? If it doesn't work, forget it. I'll just wait until tomorrow to rent a car and run a taxi."
The large trucks of that time were not like the ones in later generations that had air conditioning and luxurious configurations in all aspects. Instead, every aspect depended on strength, and there were not even fans. The gears were all manually controlled, and people with less strength probably couldn't even shift into a gear.
To put it bluntly, driving a truck for a whole day is very tiring. Compared to being tired, having no money in your pocket is more frightening, so An Xin would rather be a little tired himself so that his family can live a better life in the future.
Just like that, the two of them stood at the entrance of the alley staring at each other, neither of them spoke, as if just staring at each other could make the other person surrender, and time passed by minute by minute.
Just when An Xin thought that her 400 yuan foreign exchange coupons were wasted and was about to leave, Kaizi spoke.
"Okay, you win. Four hundred foreign exchange certificates a day. Now follow me immediately. We have to start work right away. We'll start working around eight o'clock in the evening. Is that okay?"
An Xin smiled with her eyebrows curved and nodded rapidly.
"Of course!"
As long as there's money to be made, it's okay to finish work at 10 o'clock.
Kaizi brought Anxin to a warehouse-like place outside the city, where the two had already been waiting outside.
