Yunzhen got in the car, fastened his seat belt, and focused all his attention on the system screen.
At this time, the huge, deep red light screen was still floating in front of him.
It said: [Warning! The apocalyptic plane is experiencing a water bandit crisis, please go to the rescue quickly! ]
Yun Zhen was extremely anxious, wondering what kind of pirates would cause the system to issue a warning?
She shouldn't have gone out today, and now she was caught off guard.
She hoped the little humans could hold on a little longer, and she would try her best to get home before the situation got worse.
After waiting for a while, the car didn't start, and the air inside the car felt cold and oppressive for some reason.
Yunzhen felt something was wrong, turned around and was stunned.
The driver in the driving seat turned out to be the man with a strong aura whom I met in the teahouse last time!
He was wearing a black suit at the moment and looked like he was on his way to work.
Yunzhen's mind was stuck for a moment.
She thought, is the economy so bad these days? Even the CEO has to work as a Didi driver?
She saw the other person turn his head and look at her nonchalantly, his eyes cold enough to freeze the world.
Yun Zhen felt bad and apologized quickly: "Sorry! I got on the wrong bus."
As he said this, he unbuckled his seat belt and prepared to get out of the car.
Just then, there was a knock on the car window.
A traffic policeman was frowning and gesturing outside, urging them to drive away quickly.
The traffic jam in this area was so severe that some cars were so close that the doors could not be opened.
That was why Yunzhen mistook the license plate and got into the car in a panic.
Without waiting for Yunzhen to get out, the car started and drove towards the main road ahead.
The traffic police's urging must be obeyed, regardless of your identity.
Yun Zhen was afraid that the other party would think that he was not going to leave, so he quickly said, "Just find a place to drop me off."
She took out her cell phone to ask where the car she had originally booked was.
As a result, she saw a new passenger got into a black car with license plate number 5X668 not far ahead, and then left in front of her eyes in such a chic manner.
Yun Zhen was stunned and quickly called to ask:
"Driver, I haven't even gotten in the car yet, why did you leave?"
The hitchhiking driver said confidently: "I waited for a long time but didn't see you, so I thought I didn't need you anymore, so I picked up another passenger. My phone was running out of battery, that's it."
Then the call was hung up.
Yunzhen couldn't believe it! Are
ride-sharing services so dishonest nowadays?
In fact, it didn't take long, just a few minutes.
Could you at least give her a call and tell her?
Time is urgent and there is no time to worry about these trivial matters.
Yunzhen prepared to call a taxi again.
Suddenly, a clear and cold voice sounded beside him.
"No. 36, Jixiang Street?"
Yun Zhen didn't expect him to speak to her, and suddenly became stuck and stammered: "...Yes, yes."
After realizing that the other party wanted to send her off, she quickly said:
"I'm sorry to have wasted your time."
It's really hard to get a taxi around here, and she's in a hurry to get home to save people.
I had no choice but to take this ride which was not at all smooth sailing.
However, how should she thank him when she got off the bus? How much should she pay?
If he was the big shot that Sissi had mentioned, would he care about her meager fare?
But not giving him anything would be too shameless.
Yun Zhen's heart was beating fast, and he said something polite in a social situation without thinking:
"Thank you for your help. I will treat you to a meal next time."
Pei Rongzhao glanced at her indifferently and could see that the girl was not serious about what she said.
Suddenly, I had some amusing thoughts: "When is the next time?"
Yunzhen was stunned.
She was just talking casually and didn't think the other party would take it seriously.
Isn't this common social etiquette?
Why would someone take polite words or polite remarks as a real invitation?
But since the other party has raised the question, it is not easy not to answer it.
Yunzhen's mind was in a mess, and he was struggling and hesitating about how to respond.
Time passes by little by little, and thinking too long will make the atmosphere awkward.
She is now like a student taking an exam, who has to solve a big math problem in only 1 minute.
The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became. Finally, I answered randomly:
"I hang out at the cat cafe on Jixiang Street at 7pm every evening. If you want to eat any day, just come find me."
This answer didn't seem appropriate, and Yun Zhen scratched his cheek in annoyance.
Her cheeks flushed slightly and she felt very embarrassed.
Pei Rongzhao didn't say yes or no, but a faint smile flashed across his eyes.
The one-hour drive was really long, and neither of them spoke.
Yunzhen kept holding his phone and pretending to be busy, but he was actually browsing his WeChat Moments.
Like all the Moments posts from the past few days, and if you can reply, leave a comment to join in the fun.
Some people even sent WeChat messages to scold her:
[Other party: Why do you think my toilet exploding and flooding the living room is something worth praising? ]
[Yunzhen: Sorry, my hand slipped. ]
After a quick look, I discovered that this man was the owner of an advertising company.
When I worked in Shencheng before, I was often scolded by him in a sarcastic manner.
His toilet exploded?
Great! There is retribution in heaven and justice in the world.
Yunzhen withdrew his previous message and changed his reply to "You deserve it."
Then I deleted the other person's WeChat.
The car is about to arrive at the destination.
When they were approaching Jixiang Street, Yunzhen hurriedly said that they could just park at the entrance of the street.
I didn't even dare to ask him to send me to my doorstep.
If she dared to bring a strange man home, or was seen by acquaintances on the street.
That night her house would be packed with gossipy ladies and neighbors.
Everyone would come to ask her parents for gossip, asking her when she would get married, where her boyfriend was from, how many tables she would set up for the wedding, and how many children she would have.
It was horrifying.
Yunzhen unbuckled his seat belt and prepared to get out of the car.
I didn't know how to thank him, so I took out my phone and asked weakly, "Can I scan the fare for you?"
Pei Rongzhao looked at his watch and said expressionlessly, "No need."
Yun Zhen reluctantly took out the can of star candy and placed it on the passenger seat.
"This is a thank you gift. Thank you for doing good deeds every day!"
After saying that, he closed the car door, ran to the side of the road, picked up a shared bicycle, and rode home as fast as a Hot Wheels.
Yunzhen felt that his experience today was quite wonderful.
At the same time, she was a little worried about what she would do if the man really asked her to have dinner with him.
How much did a meal for a big shot cost?
The key point is that it only cost her 60 yuan to take a taxi home, but it would cost more than that to treat someone to a meal.
I hope the other party won't come to her to fulfill his promise. Her wallet has been coughing a lot recently.
Pei Rongzhao looked at Yun Zhen's receding back, started the car and left.
On the way, I felt that I was a little strange today. I actually sent a stranger home and asked for something in return.
This is really unlike myself.
He picked up the star candy on the passenger seat, looked at it, put it in the car storage box, and didn't pay much attention to it.
Just like what the girl said, just do one good deed every day.
