Board 105 in advance
Before getting off the car, Tang Zhendong had already figured out Liu Zhongshu's family situation. Of course, apart from Liu Zhongshu himself loving to show off, there was another reason - Tang Zhendong had learned a lot of side-door techniques from Old Ye, and in the subtle conversation, he had already figured out the person's family situation.
Liu Zhongshu, his father was in the Highway Bureau, previously responsible for collecting road maintenance fees in the Highway Bureau hall, later slowly became the director of the department, now the road maintenance fee has also been cancelled, and Liu's father has shifted from being responsible for road maintenance fees to reviewing vocational qualification certificates.
It was precisely because of Liu's father's position that Liu Zhongshu could arrange to get on the train as soon as he passed the theoretical exam, all of which were boasted by Liu Zhongshu halfway and didn't need Tang Zhendong to ask specifically.
However, Liu Zhongshu still gave Tang Zhen Dong a lot of insight: for example, why Liu Zhongshu's father was in the highway bureau, but his theoretical exam had to be re-examined many times. This is because highways and traffic police belong to two different systems, and driver's license exams fall under the jurisdiction of the traffic police. Liu's father was just a small section chief in the highway bureau, so during the driver's license exam, he couldn't even get in touch with the traffic police.
Tang Zhendong also learned through Liu Zhongshu's words that Jiaoyun Group's subordinate unit, Jiaoyun Driving School, not only has a lot of dealings with the traffic police, but also has a lot of dealings with the Highway Bureau.
The bus for the driving school exam stopped at the driving school, and many students got off halfway. Of course, there were also many who got off at the driving school. After Tang Zhendong got off the bus, he didn't go home or to his store which was being renovated, but instead walked straight to the office. He wanted to find the middle-aged woman who had signed up yesterday and see if there was a chance for him to drive first.
Tang Zhendong entered the office and saw that it was still the same middle-aged woman as yesterday. "Sister, are you busy?"
The old lady recognized the young man from yesterday at a glance. "Hehe, young man, have you finished your exam? How was it?"
"Hehe, it's okay, I passed." Tang Zhendong said lightly.
"Then congratulations are in order."
"Hehe, nothing to congratulate on. By the way, sis, I want to take a look at the driving school environment, do you have time to show me around?"
This chubby big mom heard Tang Zhendong's words and knew what he meant. He wanted to get on the bus quickly, but seeing his colleagues in the office, he didn't say it directly. She secretly praised Tang Zhendong for being on the right path, "Okay, you wait," and then turned her head to another slightly younger person in the room and said, "Little Li, can you help me keep an eye on things for a while? My friend's kid is here to learn how to drive, I'll take him around to look at the environment."
"Alright, Qin Jie, you can go now, I'm here." Xiao Li agreed readily, but after Qin Jie left, he couldn't help but pout and mutter to himself, "Geez, still calling me 'older sister' when just a moment ago she clearly called me 'big sis'!"
But this is a common phenomenon everywhere, who doesn't have relatives and friends, who can't arrange for someone to cut in line, it's too normal.
"Sister, about what I said last time, can you arrange for me to get on the bus a bit earlier?"
"Haha, young man, you also know that this matter is not easy to handle. Who doesn't have an urgent matter? Who doesn't want to get on the bus early and finish learning early? Right? So, you should understand our difficulties."
"Hehe, big sister, I feel a sense of closeness to you the moment I see you. I don't know anyone else, only you, so I can only ask for your help. What do I need to do, tell me."
"Alright, I'll help you get on the car in a week. But you have to buy two packs of cigarettes for someone."
"The issue with the smoke is a small matter. So, can you arrange for me to get on the car tomorrow? Whatever is needed, just let me know directly and I'll see if it's okay?"
Actually, after arranging for someone to get on the car in a week, Qin's mother can arrange it herself. The so-called two packs of cigarettes were directly put into her own pocket. However, what Tang Zhendong said about getting on the car tomorrow is still a bit difficult for her, because the driving school arranges for people to get on the car every week. Although there are also cases of queue-jumping in normal times, they are all leaders' children or those with special relationships who jump the queue. For someone like Tang Zhendong who doesn't know anyone and wants to jump the queue, there's no other way except to throw money around.
But why didn't Qin's mother directly refuse Tang Zhendong? This is because the previous lesson was different from the previous one. The previous lesson must be four people in a car, and another person is the instructor. One more person is overstaffed, and overstaffing is strictly prohibited on the road.
But it's different with the pole, ten people in one car, today you have time to come, he doesn't have time and won't come, anyway there are always some coming and some not, besides even if everyone comes, it doesn't matter, they just take turns queuing, at most when there are fewer people, practice for ten heads, when there are more people, practice for five heads.
"Ah, right, what should I call you again?"
"My surname is Tang. Big sister, you can call me Little Tang." Tang Zhendong's big sister called out sweetly, making this middle-aged woman feel like she had become ten years younger.
"Oh, Xiao Tang, it's like this, what do you think? The driving test tomorrow, the people in each car have already been arranged a long time ago. If you had told me earlier, I could still talk to our familiar instructor about it. But now, wanting to insert someone halfway through isn't easy at all. This needs our director's approval, and our director is a very stubborn person. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Tang Zhendong nodded, "Sister, I understand. Just tell me how much money is needed for this matter, and then I have a small request. That is to inform me in advance about the traffic and other aspects, and I will pay the fees all at once. If not, I'll always be confused."
"Alright, Xiao Tang, you're a straightforward person, and I won't beat around the bush with you either. If you want to pay the full amount upfront, I think it'll be at least 800 to 1,000 yuan. You know, our driving school is the most legitimate one in Haicheng."
"Alright, okay, then I'll trouble you with that." Tang Zhendong took out 1,000 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Qin Dama.
Qin's mother did not expect that Tang Zhendong was indeed a straightforward person. To be sure, here requires advance payment for car purchase, generally are relationship households, oneself spends money to require advance payment for car purchase has, however also only most spend individual three five hundred, because entire driving school cost just three thousand yuan, while throwing away theoretical examination's six hundred yuan, driving school actually earns two thousand more yuan. A person who wants to learn to drive, takes out one thousand yuan to require advance payment for car purchase, absolutely not many see.
"Alright, Xiao Tang, I'll take care of it. You come directly tomorrow and I think this matter will be settled. If not, I'll return the money to you."
Tang Zhendong has already spent the money, so it's not for a refund. "Sister, I don't want to see you return my money, I want to take the exam as soon as possible and get the certificate as soon as possible, you'll be more worried, Qin sister."
