The driver took a cigarette and started chatting with him: "Are you from this mountain?"
"Yes, I’m from here."
"What were you looking for on the mountain just now?"
The driver mistook his act of looking for a place to hide for searching for sothing. Popular Young Idol smiled and replied, "I lost a lighter that my ex-girlfriend gave . I thought if I found it, I’d try to win her back. But it looks like I can’t find it, so never mind."
"That’s really a pity. Why don’t you look for it a bit more?"
"No need, what’s past is past. Are you waiting for soone here?"
The driver didn’t answer before, but this ti he did: "This is a ride-share. A custor asked to bring him here."
"Haven’t you already dropped him off? Why not head back?"
"This transaction is over, but he privately offered more money to wait here and pick him up later to go down the mountain."
"You must be making a lot on this business. You don’t even have to share with the ride app company."
The driver took a drag of his cigarette and laughed: "Not that much. I’m not a greedy person, I can’t charge too much."
"You really are a good person. That motorcycle driver who brought up here charged several thousand."
"Several thousand?"
"Yeah."
"He must be really greedy."
Popular Young Idol was about to say sothing when his phone suddenly rang: "What? Okay, okay, I’ll find soone to deliver it over!"
After hanging up, he heard the driver ask: "Are you looking for a delivery?"
"Yeah, there’s a contract I need to send out. I need to find soone to deliver it for ."
"You’re on a mountain; it might be hard to find soone to deliver it for you."
"Yes, it’s quite difficult. Before, when I looked for soone, I had to wait a long ti for soone to take the job, and I had to pay extra."
"How much extra?"
"Five thousand, and I had to transfer it privately. Only then were they willing to deliver it for ."
"Five thousand!" The driver took a sharp breath: "You’re really well-off. Why did you agree? It’s clear they’re taking advantage of you!"
"I had no other choice. I was in a hurry, and this ti I’ll probably have to add another five thousand. Oh well, as long as it gets delivered."
"Bro, what if I deliver it for you? I won’t ask for much."
"How much do you want?"
"Depends on where you want it delivered."
Popular Young Idol gave an address, the agent’s residence.
"It’s a bit far, and a cab would cost over two hundred. How about this, on top of fuel, give a bit for my trouble, would one thousand work?"
Popular Young Idol was ready for the driver to ask for a lot, and was surprised it was only one thousand, so he agreed imdiately, though a bit hesitant: "Aren’t you waiting for your client?"
"It’s just a verbal agreent; he didn’t give a deposit, nor did he order through the app. If I leave, he can’t find . Besides, even if he cos out, taking him down might not fetch a thousand. Of course, I should deliver yours first because your matter is urgent. He can always make a new order in the app when he’s out."
"What if he finds you from the previous order?"
"That’s fine too; I’ll just say I had an ergency. He can’t do anything about it, can he?"
"That’s true, you’ve thought it through quite well."
"So, what do you think about our deal?"
"Alright, here’s the one thousand cash, and here’s the contract. Please deliver it to this address. I’m counting on you."
"Don’t worry, I’ll definitely deliver it. I’ll head there right away."
As he watched the car drive away and down the mountain, Popular Young Idol smiled and turned to hide behind a large tree.
