Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again Chapter 367 - 147: For a Liar Like This, the Punishment Is K

Breakdancing, Walkman cassette players, VCDs, digital caras, cell phones, motorcycles...

All these things that once led the trend, Su Jianjun was quick to start playing with them, and then Su Zelin followed suit.

But in recent years, his son has started to be more trendy than he is. He’s quicker to learn how to get online and even got his driver’s license ahead of him, leaving Su Jianjun a bit frustrated, feeling like he’s been left in the dust by the newer generation.

Previously, he wanted to learn to drive, but Zhao Lixia completely vetoed it.

The reason given by the tigress was, "You don’t have a car, why learn to drive?"

"You wouldn’t be thinking of using all the hard-earned money we’ve saved to buy a car, would you? We only have 340,000 yuan in savings, and those things cost tens of thousands per vehicle. If you actually bring one back, I’d chop you up!"

Cowed by her tyranny, Su Jianjun had no choice but to give up.

But things are different now. Thanks to the success at Shenghai i Lin last year and the big gains in B-shares this year, they’re almost millionaires, and the money has co easily. Perhaps if he proposed spending tens of thousands on a car, the tigress might agree.

Even if she doesn’t agree right now, isn’t it reasonable for to first learn to get a license?

"Hehe, Dad, you can rest assured of my skills, I guarantee I’ll pass the tests all at once!"

Su Zelin was full of confidence.

With his level of skill, the other students learning to drive consider him an expert. If he were to fail and have to pay the retake fee, he’d want to bash his head into a block of tofu.

At that mont, Zhao Lixia ca out of the kitchen, wearing an apron and grumbling, "What’s the point of learning to drive a car? Do you have a car? Even if you get a driver’s license, it’ll just gather dust!"

In fact, she initially opposed Su Zelin learning to drive, but he insisted on learning more skills, even ntioning that during the sumr vacation, so driving schools set up in university campuses and lots of people signed up. Ultimately, Zhao Lixia had to nod in agreent.

"Mom, you’re wrong about that. What’s wrong with learning more? Plus, I had a little surprise at the driving range this ti!"

Su Zelin chuckled slightly.

"It’s just driving practice, what surprise could there be, you think you’ll find money on the ground!"

Despite her words, Granny Su was intrigued and stopped in her tracks.

"There’s no money on the ground, but I t many city officials: Director Chen Hongfang from the Governnt Reception Office, Director Li Guoqiang from the Education Bureau, Deputy Director Zhao Yi from the Trade Bureau, and Station Chief Luo Huaibei from the Disease Control Center..."

Su Zelin rattled off a long list of prominent city officials, leaving Zhao Lixia speechless.

"No way, where did all these city officials co from?"

If Su Zelin hadn’t detailed their nas and titles, and if so weren’t nas she’d heard before, she’d have thought he was boasting.

"Mom, you don’t understand. How many people can afford a personal car now? Many governnt agencies have added fleet cars in recent years. Even if there are drivers available, the officials still need to learn to drive themselves for convenience! So, it’s easy to et officials at the driving range; even if they aren’t officials, most of them are local tycoons."

Su Zelin spoke as if it were the most logical thing, and Granny Su finally believed him. She admonished him, "Son, you mustn’t speak out of turn or disrespect others in front of officials!"

"Don’t worry, mom. I’m a fast learner in the driving class, currently an excellent student. I even guide these officials as an assistant instructor sotis; they’re all very amicable, and we often play cards together. Oh, and there are officials who asked if I’d be interested in joining their bureau after graduation, I’ve noted down many of their numbers."

Su Zelin laughed heartily.

Zhao Lixia felt a bit incredulous alongside her happiness.

It wasn’t easy for ordinary people to et these high-ranking officials, yet now her son was learning to drive and has gotten to know so many, even becoming their little coach and occasionally playing cards together—it seed he had blended in quite well.

So even offered him opportunities, suggesting that if he wanted, he could have a good chance to secure a stable job after graduation. Granny Su felt a bit proud.

She felt that ever since her son graduated from high school, it’s like his life has been on a cheat mode, with everything going smoothly.

Jianjun was right; her husband always said that once their son steps into society, he’d surely succeed. At the ti, she didn’t take it seriously, but now she realized she worried too much.

She thought to herself that she should bring this up soti in front of Old Qin and Sufen.

Just then, Su Jianjun coughed slightly and gave a hinting look.

He noticed that when it ca to driving, his son’s words held more weight than his own, so he hoped Su Zelin would say a few good words on his behalf to the tigress.

Su Zelin understood but didn’t speak up right away, instead, he casually spread his hand open, his fingers unintentionally wiggling.

Dad, I’m happy to persuade mom for you.

It’s simple, just five hundred yuan bills will do.

It almost made Su Jianjun blow his top.

This damn son was always ready to seize an opportunity to rip him off!

Even though it made him gnash his teeth in anger, Su Jianjun still made an OK gesture.

I’m practically a millionaire now, I won’t bother with you, you little brat!

Seeing that he’s going to gain so benefit, Su Zelin started, "Mom, if dad also goes to learn to drive, he should get to know quite a few officials. There’s a lot of potential contacts, and it would greatly benefit our family business, right?"

"Your dad?"

Zhao Lixia furrowed her brows.

"Nowadays, private cars are becoming cheaper and cheaper. So foreign brands have dropped to the hundred thousand yuan range, like Buick. I saw the advertisent on TV recently, ’Drive ho a small Buick for 100,000 yuan’, with foreign brands being so cheap, even dostically there’s much cheaper options at just tens of thousand, though maybe with less assurance on quality and safety."
