Rumbling—
After Luo Chao and Tang Tianyi settled in the back seat of the rcedes, the ride-share driver suddenly floored the gas pedal, and the engine let out a monstrous roar.
The car shook slightly and then carried the three of them out of the suburban road, onto the city highway, speeding all the way to Huahai City's First People's Hospital.
About a minute after the car started moving, the ride-share driver lifted his eyes to look at the rearview mirror in the cab, observed Luo Chao and Tang Tianyi, and began to speak.
"Young brother, young sister, my na is Zuo Dahai, and I'm currently a full-ti ride-share driver," introduced Zuo Dahai, the ride-share driver.
Hearing the words "full-ti ride-share driver," a slight change appeared on Luo Chao's face.
Luo Chao knew that the words "full-ti ride-share driver" ant that this middle-aged driver, who looked like a big boss driving a million-dollar rcedes, had this profession as his only job and his only source of inco.
This left Luo Chao puzzled. How could soone who looked like a big boss be a full-ti ride-share driver?
Even if he just looked like a big boss, this car can't be fake, right?
At this mont, Zuo Dahai also noticed the fleeting strange expression on Luo Chao's face.
He gave a bitter smile and continued, "What? Is it hard to believe? You must be thinking, how can soone like , driving a luxury car worth a million, be a full-ti ride-share driver, right?"
"Hmm..." Luo Chao responded softly, nodding slightly.
Luo Chao didn't show an exaggerated expression or say extravagant words because he could see from Zuo Dahai's desolate eyes that he was a middle-aged man with a story.
Moreover, this story would definitely not be a pleasant fairy tale but a harsh story of reality.
Zuo Dahai sighed with a sowhat pained expression, "Ah... it's a long story. But since the place you're going is quite far, I have enough ti to tell you my story. Though, I don't know if you young folks are interested!"
"It's okay, Uncle Zuo, you go ahead, I'm listening." At this mont, Luo Chao could also feel the deep sadness in Zuo Dahai's words, so he couldn't bring himself to say he wasn't interested, as that would certainly hurt Zuo Dahai.
Secondly, Luo Chao was quite interested in Zuo Dahai's story. After all, driving a luxury car worth a million as a regular ride-share car is not sothing you see under normal circumstances.
Not to ntion Zuo Dahai claid he was a full-ti ride-share driver, which added a mysterious touch to the story.
"Hahaha, good one, Uncle Zuo, I'm pleased, very pleased! Young man, you're sure sweet with words! Do you know how many years it has been since soone called uncle? Hahaha, I'll tell you, twelve years!"
"I, Zuo Dahai, haven't been called uncle for exactly twelve years! Not to ntion being called uncle, those people who used to call Boss Zuo, Grandpa Zuo, or even Father Zuo back then might barely call Old Zuo now if they see , hahahaha..."
No one expected that a simple "Uncle Zuo" from Luo Chao would bring Zuo Dahai to tears instantly.
And Zuo Dahai not only burst into tears but also started laughing uncontrollably!
As he cried and laughed while driving, this scene left Luo Chao and Tang Tianyi feeling incredibly bewildered.
"Uh... Uncle Zuo, could you calm down a bit? The car is shaking quite a lot; I don't want us to end up in a crash."
These words ca from Tang Tianyi, who could clearly feel the slight swaying of the rcedes' body as Zuo Dahai laughed, making her feel uneasy and anxious.
"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, I haven't heard soone respectfully call that in so long. Got a bit emotional, please forgive , miss. Please don't give a bad rating later!"
"In our line of work as ride-share drivers, the fare itself isn't much, rely enough to cover gas. We earn our keep from custor ratings, as high ratings an we can get the company's bonus for top-reviewed drivers!"
Hearing the displeasure in Tang Tianyi's tone, Zuo Dahai imdiately apologized and explained, fearing that she might give him a one-star rating in anger.
"Hmph, you shouldn't be saying this to ; you should say it to him. He's the one who booked the car, not . Even if I wanted to give you a bad review, I couldn't." Tang Tianyi glanced at Luo Chao next to her and said to Zuo Dahai.
It was clear from her expression that Tang Tianyi wasn't pacified by Zuo Dahai's apology.
Knowing Tang Tianyi as well as he did, Luo Chao had no doubt that if she had called the ride, she would have given Zuo Dahai a bad rating without hesitation.
"Apologize, apologize, I'm really sorry, I didn't an to. Please don't give a bad review. I have an 80-year-old mother, and a father bedridden with a severe illness, and a family of eight who rely on alone!"
"I'm begging you, please don't give a bad review! I haven't gotten the driver bonus for two months now, and if it goes on like this, we won't be able to put food on the table! Wuwuwu..."
Seeing the displeasure on Tang Tianyi's face, Zuo Dahai quickly pleaded for himself, and the more he spoke, the sadder he beca, soon his face was full of tears, almost ready to stop the car and kneel before Luo Chao and Tang Tianyi.
"No, no, no." Seeing Zuo Dahai's sad look, Luo Chao quickly waved his hand toward him, "Uncle Zuo, don't be like that, she's just joking. Rest assured, I'll definitely give you a big thumbs-up review, absolutely no bad rating!"
"Oh, oh, oh, that's good, that's good." Hearing Luo Chao say he won't get a bad rating, Zuo Dahai's mood finally cald down.
As Zuo Dahai's emotions returned to normal, Luo Chao continued the topic, asking, "So, Uncle Zuo, tell , what exactly happened to you? From what you said, it seems you used to be a rather prominent figure. What happened to make your life so difficult now?"
Zuo Dahai sighed, "Ah... this matter, in the end, I brought it upon myself! Truly, the Heavenly Dao is fair, and fate spares no one!"
