Chapter 209 Meeting Points

"Fuck, you're making fun of me again."

Zhou Hongyu knew that Yang Xiao was joking with him, but he was not angry.

They have long been accustomed to it!
Although I don’t know how rich Yang Xiao is.

But Yang Xiao should be able to get a Bentley with wings!
Besides, what Yang Xiao said just now makes sense.

In fact, Zhou Hongyu is not a fool, he knows it very well.

If it was Yang Xiao who went after Tan Yue, it would be an easy task.

It doesn't take any effort at all.

So, he can't give up on himself.

Must work hard!
Although he currently doesn't know what direction to work towards, he will definitely be right if he listens to Yang Xiao for the time being.

He got up from the bed, changed his clothes, and prepared to go out with Yang Xiao.

"Let's go. I've figured it out. Anyway, I can't succeed academically by just working hard. I worked so hard in my senior year of high school and I can only get into Shenzhen University. There's still a huge gap between me and Tan Yue."

Zhou Hongyu waved his hands and said with a scoundrel look, "Now it seems that we have to find another way. Well, if it really doesn't work, I can be your driver for two days. Then I will secretly drive your luxury car to the school for a few laps, and then park at the back door of the school. Then I will put bottles of mineral water, Coke, Pulse, and Red Bull in the car, hehe."

Yang Xiao listened to his clear and logical talk and said with a smile: "Is this all you have achieved?"

"Didn't the knowledgeable people on Tieba say the same thing? It feels quite interesting."

Zhou Hongyu scratched his head and chuckled, "But I still have to try to pursue Tan Yue first. I'll talk about it later if I can't catch up with her."

"Well, it's a good idea. Just be prepared for the worst!"

Zhou Hongyu was already simulating in his mind the situation of driving a luxury car to pick up girls, and he even thought of a name for his child after settling down in Shenzhen!

Suddenly, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

After realizing something was wrong, he quickly regained his serious expression.

This seems very unfair to Tan Yue.
It is obvious that his feelings for Tan Yue are so sincere, how could he have such nonsense thoughts?

Damn, this gold digger is far worse than Tan Yue!
Zhou Hongyu put aside the thoughts in his mind and ran to the next room to wake up Tan Bin who was also still sleeping.

"Binzi, let's go and eat."

"What are you eating, Brother Yu?"

"I don't know. Anyway, it's Mr. Yang's treat, so hurry up and get dressed and get up."

Tan Bin was also happy to be treated to a meal, so he agreed with a smile on his face and quickly got out of bed.

It's approaching noon.

The three of them randomly found a tea restaurant and had breakfast and lunch together.

After dinner, Tan Bin planned to go to the Internet cafe to play games for two hours before going to work at the restaurant.

Zhou Hongyu made a phone call to find out the location of the driving school, and then he and Yang Xiao took a taxi and rushed over.

"Damn, it's nice to go out with you. We don't have to squeeze on the bus."

"This is all your foster father's love for you."

"Come on, you're just too lazy to squeeze in with others."

"No, I have money."

Hearing this, Zhou Hongyu started playing around with Yang Xiao in the back seat of the taxi.

"Let's fight with you rich people!"

After making a fuss for a while, Zhou Hongyu became depressed again.

"Brother Xiao, do you think I will never be able to pursue a girl like Tan Yue? I will just be an ordinary person, find an ordinary job, and finally marry a woman I don't love, and spend my whole life with her?"

"..."

Yang Xiao was speechless and also found it a little funny about Zhou Hongyu's mentality of worrying about gains and losses.

When blind self-confidence and extreme inferiority complex appear in a boy at the same time, it may mean that he is really obsessed.

Yang Xiao patted Zhou Hongyu on the shoulder.

"No, buddy, it's actually quite good if you think about it from another perspective."

"What angle?" Zhou Hongyu looked like he was listening attentively.

"Well... there is always someone in the world who wants to be a waste. Why can't that person be you?"

"grass!"

Driving school on the way.

"8400 for two people, right? Okay, use my card."

Yang Xiao took the bank card and swiped it lightly across the POS machine, and Zhou Hongyu's face lit up like a flower.

"Thank you, godfather. I was reckless in the car just now."

After Yang Xiao put away the bank card, he waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

The finance cashier was a woman in her thirties wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

She tore off a receipt, handed it to Yang Xiao, and suddenly asked, "By the way, do you have any referrals?"

"Recommendation, um, yes."

Yang Xiao winked at Zhou Hongyu and asked, "What was the name of that senior?"

Zhou Hongyu looked a little surprised at first, but then he immediately reacted and said a name called Ma Haiping in front of the cashier.

"Oh? This is the first time this campus partner has placed an order."

Zhou Hongyu smiled in agreement with a stiff expression but said nothing.

After he came out, he couldn't help but ask Yang Xiao:
"Brother Xiao, why are you still mentioning this senior's name? First, there is no discount, and second, I'm not that familiar with him. It seems that if we mention his name like this, he should get the commission from the driving school, right?"

"you are not willing?"

Zhou Hongyu didn't say anything, but she was indeed a little reluctant.

Because subconsciously, he felt that "this senior must have taken advantage of me."

Since we are not related in any way, why should I let you make money from me?
Yang Xiao also understood his mentality and said with a smile:
"Just after dinner, didn't you call to ask for the address of his driving school? Didn't he kindly tell you?"

"Besides, the senior you mentioned probably works part-time. The registration fee isn't going to be any cheaper anyway. Besides, the money is originally paid by the driving school. It won't hurt to let this guy make a profit to cover the cost."

Generally speaking, the tuition fees of driving schools are basically uniform, and no one dares to mess around with them.

Otherwise, if students communicate privately with each other, won’t they get into trouble?

The main reason is that there are too many driving schools around the school and the competition is becoming increasingly fierce.

Therefore, driving schools generally prefer to find part-time students in the school to help attract students, and give them commissions based on part of the profits.

This is normal operation and not a trick.

Even if there are some tricks, they are all related to the publicity expenses of the "practice test car".

"Of course, you can also mention this to this senior and let him know about it, which can be considered as earning a favor for free."

"Hmm...it seems to be the case. How do you know so much?"

Yang Xiao smiled and said, "There are thousands of tricks. If you see them enough, you will roughly understand the essence of the operation behind some things."

Zhou Hongyu didn't understand what was going on, and nodded as if he understood.

"Hello, classmates."

A bald, slightly plump middle-aged man trotted up to Yang Xiao and Zhou Hongyu and spoke in a friendly manner.

"Coach Wang Pengfei?"

"It's me, it's me. Do you plan to practice driving today or in a few days?"

"Just today."

"Okay, there aren't too many people here today, and there are still some empty cars in the venue."

After saying that, Wang Pengfei led the two of them to the driving practice site.

Along the way, through conversations between Yang Xiao and his coach, he roughly understood the current process of getting a driver's license.

I had pretty good luck when I took the driving test this year.

It just so happens that the driving test handbook has been online since the summer vacation, so I can go through it on my mobile phone, which is much more convenient.

Otherwise, in the past, the driving school would have to give out a book of materials and students would have to read it and do the questions one by one.

And it’s 2011 now, and there is no Subject !
The fourth subject was not added until 2013, which means that Yang Xiao can get the certificate after finishing the third subject!
There were only five cars in total in the huge venue.

Two cars were backing into the garage.

A car is practicing sideways.

A car started halfway up a slope.

There is another one that is being practiced and taught vehicle knowledge.

On the left side of the venue is a tin awning where students rest and escape the heat.

Perhaps it was because it was the middle of the day and the sun was scorching, everyone was feeling sleepy, and everyone looked a little listless.

Zhou Hongyu sighed twice and complained: "Damn, the sun is so strong, won't I get sunburned to death if I practice driving?"

"That's perfect. Anyway, you just finished military training and you're already like a nigger. You're not afraid of the sun."

"That's true."

Coach Wang Pengfei led them to the group where the car started.

The driver in the car was another middle-aged coach, and the co-pilot and back seats were all students.

At Wang Pengfei's signal, Yang Xiao and Zhou Hongyu waited in the awning. "Huh? Yang Xiao?"

After the group of students finished practicing reversing into a parking space, a girl came out from the car. It was Hu Yuting, the acting monitor of Yang Xiao's class.

Behind Hu Yuting, there was a boy and a girl, who were also students in Yang Xiao's class.

The boy’s name is Zhang Can, and he is Yang Xiao’s classmate who lives in the same dormitory floor.

The girl's name is Fu Qiuxia, and she seems to be in the same dormitory as Hu Yuting.

"Class monitor, are you also in this driving school?"

Yang Xiao didn't expect it would be such a coincidence to meet someone from his class in the same driving school.

Hu Yuting was quite impressed by Yang Xiao. Although his performance was not outstanding during the military training, his humorous speech during his self-introduction made Hu Yuting remember him.

For some reason, she always felt that Yang Xiao had a unique temperament.

Always appear relaxed and casual.

Moreover, Yang Xiao is one of the few people who uses iPhone 4.

Although I don’t know if it is true or false.

But he is not like other boys, who are flamboyant, speak and act loudly, and are eager to attract everyone's attention.

For example, there is a boy named Zhang Jun. He always sits in the back row during class. He always holds his cell phone in his hand and wants everyone to see the Apple logo. He almost has the words "I'm rich" written on his face.

But I have to say that Zhang Jun's method is very useful.

At least he had a lively chat with several girls in the class, and he used it as a topic of conversation every night in the dormitory.

Hu Yuting walked up to Yang Xiao and chatted:
"Alas, I thought there would be fewer people signing up for driving lessons earlier, but I didn't expect there would still be so many people."

Yang Xiao said: "It seems that everyone has the same idea, but there will definitely be more people coming after the National Day."

Hu Yuting took the initiative to invite: "Yang Xiao, let's have a meal together later and then go back to school together?"

"Forget it, I have a friend with me, so it's not very convenient."

Yang Xiao signaled to Zhou Hongyu beside him and declined politely.

"Hey, come here, both of you."

Wang Pengfei greeted them from the front, and Yang Xiao said, "I'll go over and practice driving first."

"Well, we can make an appointment to come together next time."

"Ok."

Under Wang Pengfei's arrangement, Yang Xiao and Zhou Hongyu sat in the back seat of the car.

Wang Pengfei sat in the driver's seat, explaining the functions of the car lights, clutch, brakes, etc.

There was another boy in the car, sitting in the passenger seat and listening with great interest.

"Come on, who of you will try first?"

Hearing this, the boy sitting in the passenger seat took the initiative and exchanged seats with coach Wang Pengfei.

“Teach you to keep your brakes on at all times.”

"Clutch is easy"

"Fuck, it's turned off."

In general training cars, an additional brake will be installed on the passenger seat.

Wang Pengfei was afraid of accidents, so he kept his feet on it at all times to help with braking.

Zhou Hongyu whispered in the back row:

"Brother Xiao, do you believe that I will be the one who learns the fastest in a while?"

"Do not believe."

"Don't believe me? You should know that I used to drive a truck with my dad, right? He taught me for a while."

Yang Xiao shook his head, looking very confident: "I still don't believe it. How can a sedan and a truck be the same? I don't believe you can learn faster than me."

"Would you like to bet?"

This sentence activated the gambling gene in Zhou Hongyu's blood again, and he said with a look of dissatisfaction.

"What are you gambling?"

Zhou Hongyu chuckled and said, "If you lose the bet, you have to wash my socks for a week."

Yang Xiao shook his head.

"What, are you scared?"

Zhou Hongyu raised his eyebrows and looked more proud.

Yang Xiao said: "The stakes are too small, it's boring, how about betting for a semester?"

"It's a deal! Whoever shirks his duty is a dog."

Zhou Hongyu couldn't wait to agree, with the corners of his mouth curling up wildly, as if he had already won.

"OJBK."

Yang Xiao also nodded quickly.

"next."

About ten minutes later, Wang Pengfei's voice was heard.

"Coach, I'll do it, I'll do it."

Zhou Hongyu happily changed into it.

It was too hot in the car. Yang Xiao had already watched it once and didn't plan to continue observing Zhou Hongyu. He ran directly to the awning to rest.

Zhou Hongyu got into the car, shifted gears, stepped on the clutch, and started the car off. He showed no nervousness like a novice and started successfully on his first try.

This prompted coach Wang Pengfei to praise him repeatedly and ask him where he had learned it.

Then it was Yang Xiao's turn.

Zhou Hongyu deliberately did not go to rest, but sat in the back seat of the car, intending to give Yang Xiao some pointers later, and even said to him encouragingly:
"Touch the steering wheel, don't be nervous."

After Yang Xiao got in the car, he shifted gears and started the car as if he was familiar with it.

Buzz. Hiss.
Zhou Hongyu said leisurely: "It's normal for the engine to stall, don't be nervous."

The coach said, "Next, coordinate the clutch and brake."

"."

Yang Xiao was indeed a little embarrassed. The training cars in this driving school were different from the normal cars outside.

In order to make it easier for the students, the clutch was made too loose. Yang Xiao was not used to it for a while, which resulted in the engine stalling for the first time.

But he couldn't make any more excuses.

Now that he had a general feel for it, he had a better idea in his mind, and he started the car in one go. The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, just like an experienced driver.

Finally, in front of the stunned eyes of Wang Pengfei and Zhou Hongyu, he drove to the front and performed a perfect reverse parking.

Wang Pengfei said: "Not only have you learned it, you have already been able to drive, right?"

Yang Xiao nodded: "A little bit."

"."

Zhou Hongyu in the back row looked dejected.

"Then I'll take you directly to the next group to practice backing into a parking space and starting on a hill."

Yang Xiao shook his head: "Coach, can you just sign me up for the test that's closest to you? I can drive, so I can just run a couple of laps in the test car before the test to get familiar with it."

"you sure?"

"determine."

"Well, I think your skills are fine."

Wang Pengfei was also happy about this, not to mention that Yang Xiao's level seemed to be no problem.

More importantly, there is a charge for the test car, and their coaches make money from this!
I have to say, this guy is sensible!

Yang Xiao was too lazy to stay in the driving school any longer. The sun was too damn bright and it was too hot!
Zhou Hongyu is not like that.

Although he is more skilled than most people, he is not at that level like Yang Xiao, who does not practice at all.

I can only continue to stay here honestly.

He looked at Yang Xiao's departing back and his face became full of worry.

A semester's worth of socks.
How much sweat do you have to do in the hot summer?
Does Yang Xiao have athlete’s foot?
I can’t even think about it!

If it really doesn't work, why not just deny it?
Zhou Hongyu thought about it, took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Hey, Yuanbao, when are you coming to Shenzhen?"

"Wait until you finish your military training? Oh, I'm just letting you know. Brother Xiao and I are planning to sign up for driving training after the National Day holiday. You should also hurry up and sign up for a driving school where you are."

"What? You're not in a hurry? Is driving practice useless? Stupid, Brother Xiao has already paid the deposit. Yes, he's going to pick up a Bentley with wings soon. You know Bentley, right? It's a luxury car worth more than one million!"

"Just think about it. How impressive it will be when you drive back to your school? If the belle of your class or department sees you, will you be able to walk?"

"Yes, yes, you should go to the driving school and sign up."

"How about this, let's make a bet to see who gets the driver's license first?"

"What's the bet? How about this, whoever loses washes the other's socks for a semester?"

"Okay, okay, then we have a deal."
