Chapter 23 She just walked in like that.
The Shuzhou Basin is extremely hot and dry in June.
When Zeng Cheng arrived at the driving school the next day, it was only 10 a.m., and the giant sphere of light in the sky had already begun to show its power.
They quickly found Zhao Dehan, Zeng Liqing's junior high school classmate—the owner of the driving school.
Zhao Dehan had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a burly build, and a full beard.
Upon seeing Zeng Cheng, she felt as if he were her own nephew and gave him a big bear hug.
This left Zeng Cheng somewhat embarrassed, and even feeling a chill run down his spine.
To be honest, Uncle Zhao's look is a bit like Ruby Lin from Chunxi Road in later times...
Zeng Cheng certainly knew why Zhao Dehan was so enthusiastic.
His father was, after all, a high-ranking deputy director of a subdistrict office, at the level of a section chief, and had influence throughout the Jinghu District.
Markets are like battlefields.
Anyone who can build a business from scratch is a shrewd and capable person.
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhao Dehan took Zeng Cheng to the driving school and introduced him to his instructor.
"Xiao Cheng, this is Coach Liu, the best instructor at our driving school. With your quick wit and a little effort, you'll get your license in a month!"
After the introductions, Zhao Dehan pulled Coach Liu aside and whispered in his ear, "Old Liu, this is my old classmate's son. You should take good care of him."
Coach Liu quickly nodded: "Okay, Mr. Zhao."
Having connections is awesome; soon it will be Zeng Cheng's turn to learn to drive.
Zeng Cheng is essentially a veteran driver with over ten years of experience, but that doesn't mean he can satisfy Coach Liu.
During the learning process, experienced drivers encountered many new problems.
Zeng Cheng's body simply wouldn't obey his brain; his instincts began to skip steps, resulting in many actions that didn't conform to operating procedures, and he refused to correct his behavior despite repeated warnings.
Older men can't write good essays, and experienced drivers can't pass driving tests; the underlying logic is largely the same.
If Zeng Cheng weren't a relative, Coach Liu would definitely have given him a dressing down.
[That stubborn brat, he tried to run before he could even crawl!]
Unfortunately, Zeng Cheng was a person with connections, so he couldn't be criticized.
Coach Liu is very annoyed.
Fortunately, Zeng Cheng was very tactful and slipped two packs of soft Chinese medicine to Coach Liu when the other trainees weren't looking, which greatly relieved Coach Liu's irritability.
As time went on, the weather became increasingly hot and dry.
After getting out of the car, Zeng Cheng quickly hid under an open-air awning, but it was still unbearably hot.
I felt waves of heat rolling in from all around, so intense it was hard to breathe.
So he hoped that Yu Baiwei would come to find him soon.
Because a certain stunningly beautiful woman possesses special abilities.
Her inherent aura always manages to bring a touch of coolness to the sweltering summer.
He waited and waited but Yu Baiwei didn't show up. Instead, he ran into an acquaintance.
A man and a woman walked towards us.
A man is a man.
The girl is about 1.55 meters tall.
This height is considered relatively short even in Sichuan province, but fortunately, he has a good figure.
She was wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt and cropped shorts that revealed her fair calves.
She's not bad looking, cute type, she'd get a six out of ten in Zeng Cheng's rating system, the standard of a pretty girl.
The girl struck up a conversation with Zeng Cheng: "What a coincidence, old classmate, you're also learning to drive here?"
Seeing Zeng Cheng's somewhat bewildered expression, the girl rolled her eyes at him and said, "Old classmate, you really have a bad memory! I'm Xue Yan, we were in the same class in the first year of high school, and I sat right behind you!"
Zeng Cheng then remembered and replied with a smile, "It's you, Xue Yan."
They are indeed classmates.
However, Xue Yan only completed the first year of high school in her class.
Then I transferred to Chengdu No. 7 High School—the best high school in Sichuan Province.
Xue Yan started talking: "Zeng Cheng, you've changed a lot in the last two years. If it weren't for your eyes and eyebrows, I wouldn't have recognized you."
Zeng Cheng responded with a laugh, "It can't be that bad."
Xue Yan's expression was slightly mischievous: "Seriously, you give me the feeling of being so young but already so old!"
Zeng Cheng: "..."
What could he say? He could only say that the young lady had a good eye for people; she could easily set up a stall under the overpass!
Up to this point in the conversation, it was still just normal small talk between old classmates.
But Xue Yan suddenly changed the subject.
"By the way, are you still pursuing Xia Ning?"
Zeng Cheng frowned and said, "No."
In my heart, I was thinking, "Classmate, why are you bringing up things that are hard to talk about? Your emotional intelligence is so low."
"Zeng Cheng, if only you had known your place earlier," Xue Yan said, standing on tiptoe to make herself appear taller. "You're just too picky, only eyeing Xia Ning. Actually, there are quite a few outstanding girls in our class. If you had changed your target, you might have succeeded by now."
Zeng Cheng continued to frown.
I really don't understand why Xue Yan said that.
If we're not good at chatting, we don't have to chat.
There must be a reason why leather pants are worn over cotton pants.
What the person didn't know was that Xue Yan spoke like that because she was actually feeling resentful.
Zeng Cheng is 1.83 meters tall, fair-skinned, with regular features, and comes from a decent family. He also had good grades in his first year of high school.
At that time, Xue Yan had a slight interest in him, but Zeng Cheng only had eyes for Xia Ning.
Later, Xue Yan transferred to Rongcheng No. 7 Middle School, where she attracted several decent suitors thanks to her cute appearance.
After broadening my horizons, I suddenly realized that Zeng Cheng was just so-so, and I even felt ashamed that I used to have a crush on him.
The act of secretly rubbing salt into Zeng Cheng's wounds can be interpreted as him venting his anger on behalf of his past self from two years ago.
"Yanzi, is this your high school classmate from around here?"
At this moment, the one who said "A man is a man" spoke up.
He scrutinized Zeng Cheng, his eyes filled with obvious wariness.
Although Zeng Cheng is taller than him, Zeng Cheng is also more handsome.
It can only be said that the competition is everywhere.
"Ren Yunpeng, this is Zeng Cheng," Xue Yan said, giving Ren Yunpeng a sideways glance after the introductions. "We're just ordinary classmates!"
"I see—" Sensing that Ren Yunpeng had overreacted, he changed the subject, "So, who is this Xia Ning you're talking about?"
"Xia Ning, she's the prettiest girl in our Dezhou No. 1 High School, that's why I told Zeng Cheng not to be too ambitious. If Xia Ning were that easy to pursue, would he even have a chance?"
Xue Yan completely opened up and started talking.
She kept chirping to Ren Yunpeng, recalling how Zeng Cheng had fawned over Xia Ning, always at her beck and call, constantly fawning over her, and how incredibly subservient he was...
They also said that Zeng Cheng used to have excellent grades, ranking second in his class when he entered the school, a sure sign of a top-tier university. Unfortunately, he spent all his energy trying to win Xia Ning's favor, and now he's probably just a second-tier university student.
As Ren Yunpeng listened, his guard instantly disappeared, and he even showed a bit of sympathy.
Of course, there's definitely a sense of superiority.
After all, Ren Yunpeng is from Rongcheng No. 7 Middle School. Although he and Xue Yan are only ranked in the middle in their class, they are more than capable of getting into a top-tier university.
There's a joke like this.
Every year at the start of the school year, the teachers at No. 7 Middle School would tell the new students that they should work hard for the next three years, otherwise they would only be able to go to the university across the street.
As everyone knows, No. 7 Middle School is right across from Sichuan University.
Of course, jokes are just jokes.
No. 7 Middle School isn't as good as people say, and Sichuan University isn't as bad as some jokes suggest.
Even among students from Chengdu No. 7 High School, there are many who fail to get into Sichuan University.
Zeng Cheng was annoyed and quickly interrupted the gossipy woman, "Xue Yan, why don't you introduce someone? A boyfriend?"
"this--"
Xue Yan stammered, neither saying "yes" nor "no".
Zeng Cheng understood immediately.
Dude, so you're just a backup option after all. What right do you have to sympathize with me?
That doesn't make sense.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Zeng Cheng looked in a certain direction.
As the view extends into the distance, a stunningly beautiful woman, capable of causing utter chaos, is gracefully approaching.
Because of the weather, Yu Baiwei was sweating a little, and her hair on her forehead was wet, like a few lush tender leaves.
The exposed skin on her arms and calves was almost transparent under the sunlight.
Her oval face was exquisitely flawless, and her crescent-shaped eyes sparkled with life.
She walked in like a cool breeze in the scorching sun, making everything around her lose its color.
