Chapter 93: Chapter 88 Learning to Drive

Hearing Xiao Yi suddenly declare he wanted to take the driver’s license exam, the men in black couldn’t help but be stunned.

In fact, Xiao Yi didn’t really want to drive; he preferred being a passenger since it didn’t require him to pay attention to the road at all times—plus, he could have anyone he wanted as his driver if he so desired.

Xiao Yi was just looking for something to learn and improve himself because he had nothing else to do at the moment.

Coincidentally, that car gave Xiao Yi an idea—he recalled hearing that many people failed the driving test on their second or third attempt, suggesting it was quite difficult.

If it was so challenging, it meant that it wasn’t for the average person—meaning, only those with high IQ could accomplish it!

Upon realizing this, Xiao Yi decided right then and there—he must get his driver’s license!

Although the men in black were bewildered, Xu Yingguang had said that whatever requests Xiao Yi had, they needed to report to him.

So, Xu Yingguang promptly received the information about Xiao Yi taking the driving test.

"Mr. Xu..." The assistant walked into Xu Yingguang’s office and reported the matter to him.

Xu Yingguang, who was busy finalizing the plans for the application of Anti-Abnormal Technology, immediately stopped his work and looked at the report.

Afterward, he said,

"Taking the driving test, huh? That’s good. I think Xiao Yi definitely won’t wait to come back and take it, so let him take it in the city he is in now. Buy the best driving school there, no, that’s not enough, you’ll also need to secure a large enough venue for him to practice driving. For now, that’s it—let the people there decide on the specifics based on the situation, and reply to them like that."

"Uh..."

The assistant was taken aback. Was that decided just like that? Was he really going to let Xiao Yi do whatever he wants?

"What’s the matter?" Xu Yingguang saw the assistant still standing there and asked, "Are we short on funds or something?"

"No, no, no, no! How could that be possible!"

The assistant quickly shook his head. The funding Xu Yingguang approved for Xiao Yi’s activities was jaw-dropping—how could it ever be insufficient?

"Then there should be no issue," Xu Yingguang said, burying himself in his work again.

"..." The assistant didn’t feel it appropriate to say anything more and prepared to step out and handle the matter.

However, just then, as Xu Yingguang immersed himself back into his work, he suddenly said to the assistant,

"Oh, and after six o’clock today, I’m taking a day off until nine o’clock the day after tomorrow. No one is permitted to contact me unless it’s an essential matter involving the whole Dragon Country that requires my personal intervention. I’ve promised to spend time with my daughter and don’t want to be disturbed."

"...Eh?" The assistant was dumbfounded.

With the critical moment for the Anti-Abnormal Technology at hand, Xu Yingguang was talking about taking a leave?

The assistant hurriedly said, "But Mr. Xu, regarding the Anti-Abnormal Technology, we can’t do it without you!"

"That’s why I’ve been busy," Xu said. "I’ve already developed all sorts of plans, including responses for various emergency scenarios, along with their necessary precautions. The security measures are also taken care of. What’s left is simply for the carefully selected personnel to get ready and start production. I’ve done more than my share of work, and I deserve a little break."

"But..."

"There are no buts," Xu continued. "I am merely exercising the right that every Dragon Country person has. Regardless of the circumstances, everyone has the right to rest, not just me. This applies to all Dragon Country people, and this rule must be enforced. I didn’t go to great lengths to make those old geezers step down just to end up doing the same things as they did. Do you understand?"

"Under... understood."

Since Xu Yingguang had put it that way, the assistant dared not say anything further and immediately left Xu’s office to take care of the matters in question.

In any case, Xu Yingguang had given his permission for the plan, and now it was up to Xiao Yi’s people to arrange everything according to the actual situation.

...

Inside the driving school, a coach with slightly graying temples had just walked into the office when his boss came rushing at him, frantic!

"Coach! Something big has happened!"

The coach furrowed his brow upon hearing this. Given the boss’s anxious demeanor, the matter must be of considerable importance.

The coach immediately asked, "Could it be that the driving school is going to shut down? Can’t believe I, a man in my forties or fifties, am actually facing unemployment?"

"No, that’s not it!" The boss vigorously shook his head and then said, "We’re not closing down. On the contrary, we’ve got big business!"

"Big business?" The coach’s brow remained furrowed. What kind of big business could a driving school possibly have? There certainly seemed to be more to this.

"Yes, yes!" The boss seemed excited as he explained, "Yesterday, a bunch of intimidating looking people in black came here to recruit our best coach, which is you, to teach a student how to drive!"

"So you agreed to it without asking my opinion first?"

Seeing that the coach was displeased, the boss quickly said, "Hey now, don’t be in a hurry, just hear me out. They specifically came for you, we couldn’t just turn them away, that would be too impolite."

"They specifically came for me?" The coach looked puzzled, "Although I’ve been in this profession for some years, it’s not like I’m someone people would seek out specifically. And from the way you’re talking, these people seem important. Why me?"

"I’m not sure, but they said that in addition to you meeting various criteria very well, you also have a unique quality that made them decide on you to teach driving."

"What unique quality?"

"You don’t watch live streams."

The coach: "?"

The coach was puzzled; indeed, he didn’t watch live streams. He didn’t get the appeal of such novelty. However, his kids at home seemed to enjoy it, especially recently, being obsessed with someone named Xiao something. Anytime that Xiao came up, it was like they were having a fit of insanity.

It was said that those live streams were even related to the fate of the country. The coach didn’t understand much; he just knew that if he had to work tomorrow, then that’s what he would do.

But to be chosen over such a trivial matter made it hard for the coach not to feel suspicious. He felt that something wasn’t quite right.

Seeing the coach’s hesitation, the boss eagerly continued, "Putting that aside, the compensation they’re offering is really frightening! They’ve offered this amount!"

Saying that, the boss leaned into the coach’s ear and cautiously mentioned the figure.

The coach, who maintained an unperturbed expression, widened his eyes in surprise after hearing what the boss said, even involuntarily gasping!

"This... what?"

"That’s right, I had the same reaction as you," the boss nodded with a knowing look.

"I..."

After learning the amount of the compensation, even the coach couldn’t help but hesitate, or rather, was tempted...

"There’s nothing to hesitate about," the boss persuaded, "Just think about it. It must be some important figure who wants to learn to drive, and you’re lucky to be chosen. It’s an opportunity! Think of it as doing it for your family. Don’t hesitate."

"..." The coach fell silent for a moment, then asked the boss, "How much will you get?"

The boss’s face changed, and he quickly laughed it off, "Oh my, what I get isn’t much, I’m just a middleman..."

"Tell the truth."

"... Actually, I’ve already received a considerable deposit." The boss finally confessed. He hurriedly added, "But don’t worry, it’s only a small part! As long as you nod and agree, and teach that person to drive, the lion’s share is all yours! I promise!"

"Ah..." The coach sighed, "Alright then, I’ll do it."

Although the coach had a bad feeling about it, the compensation was too tempting to ignore.

Besides, the coach thought to himself, he had been teaching driving for so many years, what kind of oddity or scenario hadn’t he seen? How hard could it be to teach one person how to drive?
