Song Tan’s Chronicle

Chapter 569: 568. Nervous driver

Views:

The atmosphere in the car was very strange.

The taxi driver kept looking in the rearview mirror.

Because when the dark-faced burly man got into the car, he no longer looked smiling as he did when bargaining, but instead looked very ferocious.

Moreover, all four passengers in the car were men.

First, I pretended not to know him, then we got in the car and it was the same place, and I bargained so hard, and we went to such a remote village that I had to use navigation...

The driver suddenly met Zhang Yanping's eyes and instantly didn't dare to look at the rearview mirror. Instead, he cleared his throat:

"Well, it's more convenient to go out now, you can just scan the code to transfer money... I didn't receive any cash all day, I only have fifty yuan in change in my pocket..."

Isn't this nonsense? Now all thieves will be out of work.

But maybe it’s just that the driver is a chatterbox!

Zhang Yanping thoughtfully expressed his understanding: "Yes, mobile phone transfers are so convenient. In the past, I was very nervous about carrying cash with me. Now, I don't even need to withdraw tens of thousands of yuan. I can just move my fingers."

The driver's heart skipped a beat.

He quickly said, "Oh, there are also bad things. The transfer records will be revealed once you check them! With big data connected to the Internet, everything can be tracked..."

What on earth does this driver want to talk about? Zhang Yanping is almost at a loss for words. Didn’t they just talk about online payment? Why is it big data again

Xin Jun was listening silently at the side. Looking at the driver next to him with sweat all over his head even with the air conditioner on, he realized what was going on belatedly and almost laughed out loud!

He quickly spoke to rescue the vigilant driver: "Qiao Qiao, we'll be home soon, are you hungry?"

Qiao Qiao touched her stomach and said, "I'm hungry. But Mr. Xin, is my Ultraman sure to be at home?"

"Let me see." Xin Jun turned on his cell phone, and out of the corner of his eye he saw the driver's shoulders slump instantly, and he took a piece of paper to wipe the sweat off his head. He thought that it would be quite interesting to take Zhang Yanping out in this state!

With his mind racing and his eyes fixed on his phone, he quickly replied to Qiao Qiao: "One has been signed for! Another one is on the way."

"Okay, okay! Mr. Xin, which Ultraman is it? I saw Taro recently..."

As the two asked and answered questions, the atmosphere in the car became visibly relaxed.

Zhang Yanping also touched his stomach: "I'm really hungry..."

At this time, the young man sitting next to him quietly opened his backpack, revealing a bag of chicken feet, plum bread and Oreos:

"Want to eat?"

Seeing this, Zhang Yanping felt even more aggrieved: Others know to bring a backpack of food when they go out, why doesn’t he bring a box!

But he could only wave his hands dejectedly: "Thanks, brother. I'm craving for the food at home. By the way, are you from Yunqiao Village too? Why haven't I seen you before? Which family are you from?"

The young man thought to himself, I haven’t seen you either!

The Qiao Qiao in front of me is a little familiar, but she doesn't look as silly as she did in my memory...

He looked away: "I live around the corner from the village clinic. My father's last name is Zhou, Zhou Maozhu - which family are you from?"

"Ouch! Ouch!"

Zhang Yanping was instantly surprised: "My uncle Mao Zhu's son! What's your name? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm a relative of the Song family. This year, Uncle Mao Zhu helped the family fry a lot of tea leaves!"

"You grew up in the village, right? Qiao Qiao, from Uncle Mao Zhu's family, do you know him?"

Qiao Qiao then turned her head to look once, then looked again, then looked again, then frowned: "Brother Tianyu? Why are you so ugly? Your face is so ugly because you are so thin."

He sucked in his cheeks, vividly showing how "ugly" Brother Tianyu was.

When Zhang Yanping saw it, he was instantly delighted!

—Qiao Qiao is quite good at grasping the essence!

Zhou Tianyu in front of me has a square face with sunken cheeks. He looks not very energetic, like an exploited office worker...

Little did they know that Zhou Tianyu was even more surprised than Qiao Qiao:

"Qiao Qiao, you... you've changed!"

She used to be so rustic, with clear and silly eyes, but the Qiao Qiao in front of her looked really... really...

He thought for a long time and finally remembered the "youthful" and "clean and pure" feeling that the fans on the Internet talked about.

However, Zhou Tianyu was from the same village and lived in the school since junior high school. He was older than Qiao Qiao and his memory was so vague that he could only give up. He asked in surprise, "The tea my dad sent was from your family? I wanted to buy a few more kilograms to give as gifts when I came back this time!"

She sighed, "I asked my dad to send it to me, but he refused... I didn't even get to give any gifts during the Dragon Boat Festival."

After listening to it all the way, the driver finally had something to talk about!

At this moment, he quickly replied, "Yunqiao Village... Isn't this our local tea? It's not famous. If you tell others about it, they will think it's wild tea from the mountains. Young man, it's reasonable for your father not to give it to you! Gifts must have a brand."

"Besides, if it's the wild tea from the deep mountains, which costs several thousand yuan per pound, I can give some to people who know about it. But our tea is only a few hundred yuan per pound at best, which is really meaningless..."

He started to talk a lot.

Zhou Tianyu disagreed: "Master, you don't know, when I send it out, everyone keeps asking me where it came from, and they all want more!"

"Wow!" The driver was also surprised: "Where do you work, young man? What do you do? It seems that you are giving it to someone who knows tea..."

Zhou Tianyu smiled politely: "I work in Bay City."

"Wow! Coastal cities, first-tier cities - that's incredible? Aren't the housing prices there really expensive?"

The two chatted back and forth, and Zhang Yanping became more and more confused.

What kind of business is this? They only give away a few kilograms during the Dragon Boat Festival! Then they should give away twice as much during the Chinese New Year? We are all young people, how come everyone is so successful!

He asked with a sigh: "So you... what business are you in, brother? Who are you planning to give a gift to? Why didn't my uncle Zhou tell me? We don't have much in stock now, but we can still spare a few pounds."

Speaking of this, Zhou Tianyu also had a headache:

"I am just a worker - you know, I work in adult education? I started with junior high and high school training, but then the policy came out and the company changed to early childhood education, children's logical thinking training, talent... Later, there was another policy, so we started working on the adult college entrance examination."

"It's the kind that helps people improve their academic qualifications, so that those who have graduated from junior high school or high school can get a college diploma... Brother, do you know anyone who needs this? Our company is still very reliable."

He seems to have good performance, and he is full of confidence when talking about it. Now let's turn the topic back to:

"And tea. I gave tea to several managers in my department. It was well-deserved and they liked it. They even asked me where I bought it... But my father was reluctant to spend money on the gift and insisted on paying 10,000 yuan per kilogram... How could I not know him! He was reluctant to spend money!"

"He doesn't think about it. I earn more than 10,000 yuan a month. If I deliver a few kilograms of local tea, I can only make a few hundred yuan at most. If I get two more orders in return, won't that be a loss?"
