Chapter Fifty-Seven: Driving Without a License

  After the melodious harmonica tune ended, Zhang Beibei, who was holding a book under the desk lamp, lost interest in studying, put down the book, turned off the lamp, closed the door and quietly went upstairs.

  After arriving at the rooftop, under the moonlight, there was a deep and quiet figure. In the faint light of the cigarette tip that flickered on and off, a faint scent of tobacco wafted over with the wind. Zhang Beibei couldn't help but take a puff of second-hand smoke, walked to the railing at the rooftop and leaned against it, looking at the unusually quiet forest and chuckled: "Lin Ge, what are you thinking about?"

  Lin Zi lazily leaned back in his chair, with one foot resting on the railing, and teased: "I'm thinking about your three measurements, what are they exactly?"

  Zhang Bei rolled her eyes and fell silent, turning around to no longer speak, accompanying him in watching the night scene, feeling an unprecedented quietness in her heart, merging into the night.

  Not long after, Tong Yunan brought up the washed clothes, the rooftop was originally a place where everyone dried their clothes, she hung them up one by one and looked at the two people in front of the railing.

  Just as I was about to leave, Linzi suddenly said: "Yunan, our store won't be unexpected, and it will probably open in half a month. I'm a careless boss, and when the time comes, you'll have a lot of work to do. I suggest you close Xiaonan's goods shop and take a good rest to prepare."

  Tong Yunan ambiguously murmured an "uh-huh" and returned to her room.

  Zhang Beibei turned around and observed Lin Zixian's expression, finding that he had lit another cigarette, and couldn't help but say: "Smoking devil!"

  The next day, Lin Zixian had just finished his morning exercise and was brushing his teeth in the bathroom when he saw a figure in the misty mirror. He turned around to see Liu Yanzhi leaning against the door with a seductive pose, unusually wearing bell-bottom pants instead of her usual ultra-short skirt.

  Lin Zixian was taken aback, with a mouthful of foam, and asked: "What are you doing here? Is the bathroom downstairs clogged?"

  Liu Yanzi found herself being a bit wasteful with her expressions, so she stood up straight and said: "Of course I'll ride with Deputy Director Lin, and go to work with you. You won't refuse, will you?"

  "Oh! Wait! It'll be ready soon." Lin Zixian turned around and started bustling about.

  When he finished washing and returned to the room, Liu Yanzi also followed him to his room. As soon as she saw the messy quilt on his bed, she was shocked and exclaimed: "Look, if a man doesn't have a woman, the room will be in such a mess! Lin Ge, from now on I'll come to help you clean the room." While speaking, she started tidying up, quickly folding the quilt and pulling out the sheets.

  Lin Zi, who was wearing a security uniform, rolled his eyes and coughed dryly: "Don't come to my room again in the future, or Li Mingcheng will misunderstand and fight me to the death."

  "I am myself, and that dead old miser has nothing to do with me. From now on, stop tying us two together." Liu Yanzi said in mock anger.

  Lin Zi smiled silently, thinking to herself: "No need to pretend, I'd actually like to get close to you and warm the bed together. But from head to toe, you're all about causing trouble for Li Mingcheng. You've gotten used to Li Mingcheng's service and yet say you have no relationship with him? We can't do that kind of fake affectionate act."

  After the two went downstairs, Liu Yanzhi jumped and guarded in front of the bicycle, while Lin Zixian pointed outside and said: "The car is outside."

  Liu Yanzi ran to the door in confusion, took a look, and saw a brand new car parked outside the yard. Her eyes lit up immediately: "Wow! New BMW, Brother Lin, is it yours?" She walked around the car, clearly, this car was much more tempting to her than a bicycle.

  Now that she knew Lin Zixian was a high-salary employee of the company, she didn't doubt at all that Deputy Director Lin had the ability to buy a good car.

  "It's borrowed." Lin Zixian opened the car door and got into the driver's seat. Liu Yanzhi looked at her new bell-bottom jeans and sat down in the passenger seat with some regret.

  The engine roared, Linzi drove the car forward, but accelerated to the alley entrance and stopped again. The window was lowered, looking at Tong Yunan who had set up an early stall, frowning, this woman didn't listen to advice, making him a bit headache.

  Tong Yunuo walked over, biting her lip and explaining: "This is the last time, I'll deal with the goods in the store today and then return the store."

  "Oh no! Does that mean I won't be able to get free breakfast anymore?" Lin Zixian chuckled and got off the car, moved a small stool from inside to sit by the stall, smiling: "Old rules."

  Tong Yunan immediately smiled and helped him pack breakfast, then looked at Liu Yanzi in the car with a hesitant expression. Lin Zixian munched on his bun and said vaguely: "Don't mind her, she's not hungry, if she wants to eat, she'll come down herself, can't ask her to eat."

  "Who says I won't eat anymore." Liu Yanzhi slammed the door and got out of the car, rummaging through the stall for a while before saying: "Since Rain Na sister is closing up shop, this is the last time, no matter what, I want to have one free meal. Rain Na sister, I want this...this...and this..."

  The two of them ate and drank their fill, then drove off in a whirlwind, with Liu Yanzi sitting in the fast and stable car, constantly flattering him, saying his driving skills were many times stronger than Li Mingcheng's.

  Lin Zi drove the car all the way to the entrance of Ming Hua Group and stopped, saying to Liu Yanzi who had been nagging non-stop along the way: "Get off the bus!"

  Liu Yanzi was shocked and said, "You didn't park the car in the parking lot?" She had hitched a ride with him just to show off in front of their colleagues at the company, so getting out at the entrance was not what she had expected.

  "Hurry up and get off! I didn't think you were going to hitch a ride, time is running out, I still have to go pick up the general manager for work." Lin Zixian leaned over to help her open the car door, asking her to get off.

  Liu Yanzhi was so angry that her teeth itched, did he treat beauties like this? But she also knew that she and General Manager Qiao Yun were not on the same level, so she grabbed her bag and stormed out, slamming the door behind her. The car behind her drove away with a hum...

  The villa on the hillside, the bodyguards next to the car fleet were ready to go, Qiao Yun wore a professional suit again, sitting coldly on the sofa, occasionally glancing at the time on her wrist.

  "Xiao Yun, Deputy Director Lin might have encountered something, why don't you ride with me to work today? Or we can let the bodyguard drive instead." Qiao An Tian advised.

  "Yes! Yes! Kobayashi did save your father's life after all, so just let it go." Xiao Hua chimed in from the side.

  "It's precisely because of this that I want to settle scores with him." Qiao Yun said coldly, "Mom, you don't know, this guy is the company's thorn in the side. His reputation in the company is very big now, and there are rumors that he can become half of the Ming Hua Group. The Minister of the Security Department has even become his subordinate as a deputy minister. He doesn't even put Dad, the chairman of the board, in his eyes. If this continues, what's going to happen? So when we catch him off guard, we must take advantage of it and give him pressure, make him have psychological shadows, otherwise no one will be able to control him in the company in the future."

  "Uh..." Xiao Hua looked at her husband speechlessly, she didn't know about this.

  Qiao An nodded slightly and said: "Alright, I won't bother about it anymore. I'm going to work."

  He was just about to leave when Qiao Yun suddenly shouted: "Dad, give me his phone number."

  Qiao An smiled and handed Lin Zixuan's phone number to her, then left under the protection of a group of bodyguards. Qiao Yun held the phone but didn't rush to dial...

  It wasn't until the time had reached eight o'clock that Qiao Yun slowly dialed the phone number. On the other end, there were sounds of cars coming and going, and Lin Zixian hastily said, "Hello? Who is it? If you don't speak up, I'll hang up."

  "Deputy Director Lin, all these years, I've been late on the first day of work. Now I'm waiting for you at home, let's see if you're going to set a precedent for me to play truant." Qiao Yun said coldly into the receiver.

  Xiao Hua, who was standing beside her, felt a chill run down her spine. She didn't expect her daughter to pick up men one after another like this. She thought to herself, "Little Lin, you're asking for trouble!"

  "Uh... Director Qiao, listen to my explanation! I was stopped by the traffic police because I didn't have a driver's license..." Lin Zixian hadn't finished speaking when Qiao Yun hung up the phone.

  Linzi, who was arguing with a traffic police officer on the road, slammed his phone in anger. Damn it! I told you I don't have a driver's license!

  He had sent Liu Yanzi to work first and didn't have enough time. In order to rush, he was stopped by the traffic police for speeding.

  The traffic police asked him to take out his driver's license, and it turned out that he was driving without a license and speeding. He was naturally stopped along with his car.

  He was pressed by Qiao Yun like this, and he simply put on a face to go. The great Caesar was actually caught by the traffic police, and it would be ridiculous to tell others that he didn't want to bother Zhang Zhenxing with such things, but now he had to dial Zhang Zhenxing's phone number.

  It is estimated that in order to resolve such matters at the fastest speed, only those guys from national security with extensive connections domestically can do it.

  "Director Zhang... it's like this, I forgot to bring my driver's license and was stopped by the traffic police. Now I have an urgent matter, can you quickly help me deal with it? ...Uh! My current location is... The car number is..."

  After telling Zhang Zhenhang about the situation, Guoan's energy was indeed great. In less than a minute, the traffic police officer next to him received a phone call and quickly returned Lin Zixian's ID card, solemnly saluting and saying: "Sorry, I didn't know that the leader was on a mission."

  "It's okay, it's okay..." Lin Zi waved his hand casually and quickly got into the car and drove away.

  He rushed to Qiao's villa in a hurry, threw the car and ran into the hall. Qiao Yun looked at him coldly, didn't even bother to look at him as she walked past him, Xiao Hua looked at Lin Zi with a pitiful gaze and shook his head.

  The fleet set off and drove on the road. Lin Zile, who had been holding back for a while, finally couldn't help but explain: "Director Qiao, I really was stopped by the traffic police because I didn't have a driver's license."

  "If you drive as usual during rush hour, the traffic police will stop you for no reason?" Qiao Yun asked lightly.

  Qiao Yun, don't go too far. I'm already giving you a huge favor by being your driver. Don't be ungrateful.

  "What does this have to do with giving me face? From teasing me on the plane, to scolding me in the company cafeteria, and now, when did you ever give me face? How is it that after doing something wrong, you still have the nerve? Are you looking for a fight? Come on! I've heard your skills are quite good, I won't even fight back." Qiao Yun glared at him through the rearview mirror.

  How can you say that? Lin Zi was speechless and could only drive with his head down, feeling wronged.
