Chapter 8 Applying for a Driver's License

After what happened just now, Shin Shin had fallen asleep on my shoulder. I tried to be as light as possible along the way, trying to make the little one sleep a little more comfortable. It was less than two o'clock when I got home, I put my child on the bed and turned to come out. Sister Shan looked at me and said, "Thank you so much today, Xinxin had such a good time, this is the first time she has had such a good time, thank you!" "She didn't mention the gangsters, she was a careful woman, and of course I could see that I didn't want to talk about the scene just now. I smiled faintly: "It's okay, I'm also very happy, helping me get back my childhood memories." "Sister Shan is very understanding, of course she knows that I want to reduce her mental burden, so I won't say anything more. When I went out, she suddenly said, "I remember coming over for dinner at six o'clock, you haven't said goodbye to Shin Shin yet!" Well, see you later. She smiled at me and closed the door without waiting for my answer. Such a clever woman, she had closed the door while I was still thinking about what reason to refuse. Now, even if I find the right reason, I can't knock on someone's door and tell them again, right?

I was also deeply moved by the eldest sister's actions: I am alone, and it is a great blessing to be cared for by a good woman like the eldest sister!

I went back to my room, took a hot shower, changed out of my dirty clothes, and started browsing the job postings online. In the end, I decided to apply for a driver for a real estate company, and the salary was okay, but the working hours were not too fixed, and I had to work overtime often. Anyway, I'm alone, it doesn't matter if I don't work overtime, just add it, there should be overtime pay, right? But as soon as I called, I found out that I didn't have a driver's license, which didn't meet the basic conditions of others. I'm so depressed, my driving skills are absolutely first-class, but now I'm driving without a license. If I call my former comrades-in-arms now and ask them to help me get a driver's license for the army, I can change it to a local driver's license at the local traffic management department, but I have already left the army, how can I be embarrassed to trouble others again? So I decided to take the driver's license test by myself, but I found out from the Internet that it is not so easy to take the local driver's license, first of all, you must first choose a driving school to sign up for study (the local traffic management department does not accept individual registration), theoretical test, field driving, long-distance driving and civilized driving, these subjects will take half a month at the earliest, if I handle it from the army, it will be a week at most. Forget it, it seems that I should trouble my comrades.

It's 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and I'm thinking about what I'm going to do next, and it suddenly occurred to me that driving schools aren't so formal now, and maybe I don't know how to get a driver's license through other means. So I wrote down the addresses and contact information of several driving schools, and I wanted to solve the problem with my driver's license as soon as possible.

When I got out, I took a taxi and went to the nearest driving school, and if I was lucky, maybe I could put this in place this afternoon, so that there was still hope for a job as a driver for that real estate company. I thought about my thoughts all the way, and the car soon arrived at the driving school I was talking about, the Tenglong Driving School. This is a relatively small driving school, the field is not too big, the middle with a white line for reversing a few "parking spaces", there is a slope of about 3 meters on the side, can be used for students to practice the ramp start, in the middle of the field there are a few dilapidated reflective cones, may be for the students to indicate the direction, several semi-new and not old coaches are moving crookedly under the control of the students.

When I entered a very temporary office, a woman in her twenties who looked reasonable was playing a game of retarded mental retardation bored, and when she saw me coming in, she immediately stopped the game and greeted me with a professional smile: "Hello sir, do you want to sign up for learning to drive?" "Miss, I want to ask, how long does it take to get a driver's license at the earliest?" I also asked the woman politely. The young woman looked at me in disgust: "Not necessarily, it depends on the level of personal acceptance, the fastest is more than a month, if it is a stupid person who is not enlightened, it is difficult to say." ”

Seeing her unhappy expression, I knew that I had said the wrong thing, that I should not have called people "Miss", and now that the word "Miss" had been "specified", I could see the disgusted expression on the young woman's face, and I should have called them "Beauty", "Lady" or "Girl", if I did, I would definitely be treated in the opposite direction. I didn't mind the young woman's "face", after all, I was out of touch with society and used a disgusting "title". "Ma'am, I would like to ask if you have any good idea if I want to get my driver's license earlier." "Oh, that's right," the young woman's attitude really flipped, and she glanced at me: "You have to talk to our Principal Wang, this quick business was personally handled by him, do you want to help you contact him now?" "Okay, thank you so much." "It's okay." It seemed that she was in a good mood, and it seemed that my title of "lady" had a huge effect, and my "treatment" had increased by several "levels" at once. "Then you sit down first, and I'll contact you right away." The young woman smiled at me and immediately picked up the phone and dialed it.

While the young woman was on the phone, I looked around her office: it was apparently a very humble makeshift place, with a desk and a few chairs, a computer and a few car magazines of unknown year, covered in a thick layer of dust because no one had looked at them for a long time.

"Sir, our Principal Wang will come over immediately, please wait a moment." The young woman's words flattered me for a while, and because of a simple title, my status was improved a lot. Now interpersonal relationships are like this: you respect me, I respect you, you are unkind to me, and don't blame me for being unjust. The young woman poured me some water in a disposable cup and told me to wait for their headmaster to come over.

After a while, the principal Wang rushed over in a hurry. "Brother, sit down, sit down, business is busy now! It's like this every day. I'm so tired! He shook my hand warmly, and kept "complaining" in his mouth, not forgetting to sneak a glance at the young woman. "Xiao Li, you go and talk to Director Chen, let him hurry up and arrange the students who will take the make-up exam tomorrow, just contact Captain Tian of the traffic police detachment directly, I have already said hello to him, no problem, I want to talk to this gentleman about something." His voice was so loud that I wouldn't hear it clearly. The young woman, known as Xiao Li, said yes and went out. The principal, surnamed Wang, sat directly next to the computer where the young woman had sat just now.

"Sir, I heard Xiao Li just now say that you want to get your driver's license early?" As soon as the guy sat down, he couldn't wait to ask about me. I nodded slightly and didn't speak. He immediately slapped his thigh: "I said brother, you have found the right person, it's not the eldest brother to blow it to your brother, in all the driving schools in this area, only I can do this, no other driving school can't, do you know why?" He didn't wait for me to answer, and immediately pretended to be mysterious and said, "I'm familiar with their traffic police team, you know this." He immediately burst out laughing. Then he took out a cigarette and politely threw one to me. Although I don't smoke, I politely took it and handed it to him right away. He took it: "Brother, you don't smoke?" It's good not to smoke! He sighed, "I have wanted to quit for a long time, but I can't do it if I don't smoke, and now in society, public relations and entertainment are needed everywhere." Ahem, there's really no way. ”

He complained to me and looked me up and down. I knew he was going to get to the point after this tirade. I don't understand what he means, he talks so long, it's nothing more than trying to raise the standard of fees. I didn't want to go around in circles with him, so I said to him: "Principal Wang, that's the case, I'm a veteran, I can drive in the army, and my skills are not bad, but I just put my name here to take the exam, do you think about the cost?" The principal surnamed Wang scratched his head: "That's the case!" That's no problem, as long as you sign up with us, you have it. Since it is covered, so this fee is like this, brother, I see that you are a real person, and you were once a glorious soldier of the people, we will definitely not let you suffer. Other students are 4,500 yuan, since you have a foundation, then you won't charge your oil money, a fixed price, 4,000 yuan, how about it? ”

I looked at him eagerly and didn't speak. He thought I was too expensive, so he quickly explained: "I said brother, you can go to other driving schools to inquire, there is absolutely nothing lower than this price." "Principal Wang, I want to take the test tomorrow, how many days do you see if you can get your driver's license?" I didn't want to ramble with him anymore and asked bluntly. "In this way, it will take 15 days for these four subjects to go down at the earliest." Principal Wang thought for a while and said. "Can we go faster? Can I get it tomorrow? Principal Wang's eyes lit up, this is probably what he wants to hear the most. In the past few years, he has not done such a thing, relying on his cousin is the captain of the traffic police detachment, for those who have money and no time, through the black box operation to do a lot of driver's licenses that do not go through the procedure, from which a lot of profits, and now I also have to take a "shortcut", of course he is happy, he wants to have a considerable income. "Alright then, brother, I've got you covered. That's right, you only need to provide your ID card and photo, you don't have to worry about the rest, the day after tomorrow, the price is fixed, 10,000, how about it? I frowned, and he also saw my displeasure, and immediately said: "Of course, there is another way, that is, you take the exam by yourself, and we will arrange all the subjects as soon as possible, so that it will take about a week, of course, it will be relatively smooth." The price is, a fixed price, 4000 yuan. However, if you can't pass, you have to take a make-up exam, 500 yuan each time. "Then I'll choose the second option, but in terms of price, is it a little lower?" I said to that Principal Wang. Principal Wang scratched his head in embarrassment as a rehearsal: "Okay, brother, for your sake of protecting your family and defending the country, the price is 3,500 yuan, how about it?" It can't be lower, and if it's lower, we'll lose it. "This Principal Wang is really a businessman, this business without capital, he will make sure that he will not lose money, but when it comes to his mouth, the words of losing money are said.

In the end, Principal Wang and I settled on a price of 3,000 yuan. Both parties agreed to complete all the subjects in three days, and the make-up examination fee was 500 each time, and they were responsible for it, and the exam began the next day.
