Substitute Driver's Notes

Chapter 34 Ordinary People's Trivial Matters

With a slow, drawn-out beeping sound, the call connected. Lu Lili hesitated before asking, "Who is it?"

Li Wei pinched his nose and lowered his voice: "I heard your husband isn't home? Are you lonely?"

A surprised shout came from the phone: "Honey, why did you change your number?"

Li Wei exclaimed in surprise, "You could tell that from that?"

"Nonsense, how long have you been here? Have you eaten? Are you settling in well? Are you tired?"

Hearing the curious chatter, Li Wei couldn't help but reply, "We arrived this morning, the work isn't tiring at all, the food is fantastic, we eat out every meal, and we're even staying in a luxury hotel here."

After chatting for a while, Lili hung up the phone with satisfaction. Wei Ge returned to the house, shivered, checked the remote control setting at sixteen degrees, and saw Wang Fuyou curled up in a ball from the cold.

This air conditioner works incredibly well.

Li Wei quickly pulled the blanket over him and carefully took out the charger to charge all the phones.

Lying in bed under the covers, one thought came to mind: sleeping under a blanket in the middle of summer is so comfortable.

In the latter half of the night, Li Wei lay bored on the bed staring at the ceiling, listening to Wang Fuyou's rhythmic snoring, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

"Brother Wei, get up and eat." Feeling being nudged a few times, Li Wei opened his eyes and found that it was already dark.

Wang Fuyou woke Li Wei up, and they put on their clothes and went to the rooftop to retrieve the clothes that were drying there.

"Washing my face makes me feel refreshed. My clothes aren't dry yet, but they'll dry after I wear them for a while."

Li Wei got up, changed into his damp clothes, and watched as Wang Fuyou took out a rope from his bag and strung it around the room to hang his wet clothes to dry.

Li Wei quickly offered to help, verbally protesting, "I slept all afternoon, I'm not very hungry!"

"Come on, even if you're not hungry, go for a walk, warm up a bit, and then come back to sleep."

This skill is amazing; you don't need to adjust to different time zones anywhere and can sleep anytime.

"Why not just turn the air conditioner up?"

"Tch! We paid for the air conditioning, why should we save him electricity? We'll keep it on even if we catch a cold."

Who are these people?! Human nature is unpredictable!

I'll take this opportunity to see the beautiful Qiantang River.

The two slowly went downstairs. The silly girl was nowhere to be found; in her place sat a woman who looked to be in her forties, rather unattractive, in a daze.

Seeing the two of them come down, he greeted them warmly, "Going out for dinner?"

Wang Fuyou nodded: "Boss lady! Went out for a stroll, have you eaten?" "Hmm..."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they invited Li Wei to go outside and walked down the corridor into the alley.

There seem to be a few more streetwalkers in the alley. Under the dim lights, their short skirts, red lips, and high-heeled sandals make them look exceptionally beautiful.

Upon seeing the two, the young ladies immediately perked up and greeted them warmly:

"Come on, handsome."

"Come here!"

"I'll make sure you're comfortable."

"Want to have some fun?"

As they spoke, they all pulled the two forward, and amidst the surging passion, a strong smell of cheap perfume wafted over.

Li Wei was terrified. He swung his arms to break free from the young woman who was pulling him and took a few steps back to run away.

Wang Fuyou, however, had run out of strength and was being pulled and swayed, eventually rubbing against these fallen...cough cough...beautiful women.

Just as Wang Fuyou was about to be dragged into the house by the demons of the Spider Cave, like Tang Sanzang encountering the Spider Cave demons.

Li Wei panicked and shouted, "I'm going back first!"

Several young women, seeing Li Wei's wary expression, stopped and waved him off: "Come on, come on! If you're not going to do it, fine. But why did you come here in the first place?"

Wang Fuhao seemed to wake up from a dream, struggling and twisting with his mouth saying "no, no," but his hands kept weakly pushing in the wrong places.

Li Wei was shivering with anger and cold, and he grimaced, preparing to turn around and go back.

Wang Fuyou suddenly blurted out, "Oh dear! I forgot to bring my money. How about I pay you back in a few days? Is that alright?"

The young woman, who had initially seemed quite interested, became annoyed. She released him and slapped him across the face, saying, "What are you doing here without any money? Trying to harass me?"

Wang Fuyou wasn't annoyed at all. He cheerfully explained to the other person, "We were just passing by. You were the one who forced me to move. Who harassed you?"

Li Wei found it amusing, and since they didn't seem like they were going to eat him, he gloated and suggested, "Why don't you call the police and have this guy arrested?"

Several young women nearby were furious upon hearing this, glaring at Li Wei and scolding him: "What a terrible idea! If you don't want to play, then get out, or we'll have someone beat you both up."

Lili said that he shouldn't cause trouble when he went out, otherwise he wouldn't make any money if he got into a fight, so Li Wei kept quiet.

Wang Fuyou waved to Li Wei with a grin and walked out of the alley under the cold stares of a row of young ladies.

Wang Fuyou was overjoyed: "These guys never learn. They do this every time they come. Anyway, we don't lose out. They just pull me over so I can get some of the fragrance and avoid attracting mosquitoes."

Okay, that's a good idea. Shall I give it a try?

Seemingly aware of Li Wei's thoughts, Wang Fuyou rubbed his hands together and shamelessly sniffed his paws: "It's hopeless today. They've remembered us. It's okay, they'll forget about us in a few days."

"Aren't you afraid they'll get someone to beat you up?"

"Are you kidding?! They're even more afraid of the police than we are. They're not some virtuous women. If we push them too far, we'll report them every day, and they'll have no choice but to move. This place is already famous; people who like this kind of thing come from far and wide every day. If the government arrests them a few times, who would dare to come?"

Li Wei's eyes lit up: "Is there a reward for reporting?"

"Don't be silly, do you think just anyone can do this kind of business? Just stick to making money and supporting your family! Hey Wei, I've noticed your IQ isn't up to par as soon as you step outside!"

Li Wei clenched his fist: "Can you speak human language?"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore."

Second insight: Some people seem honest at home, but become scoundrels as soon as they go out.

As they were talking, they arrived at the logistics company and saw a large truck parked in the shed of the dedicated line. It was about one-third full. Boss Liu stood next to him with his hands on his hips, watching the three people unload the goods on the truck, while a young man drove a forklift to unload the goods into the truck bed.

"You're awake! Have you eaten? There are still crabs in the pot. Go get some if you want."

Wang Fuyou laughed and said, "I didn't finish lunch, so I came to see if there's anything we can help with."

"It's okay, go back to sleep!"

They come out of nowhere, take a look, chat for a bit, and then run away. What are they planning to do?

Besides, we've eaten all the food Boss Liu gave us, why didn't you wash the basin and bring it back?

I can't eat much when I go out to eat now! At noon, there were eleven steamed buns, I ate seven, and Wang Fuyou ate four.

There was a large pot of hairy crabs, but there were only sixteen in total. One was given to the silly girl, and Old Wang ate six of them himself. This guy can really eat!

Wait, going shopping with this guy? That's too awkward. What are two grown men doing shopping together?!

After walking past several street stalls and small supermarkets, the two strolled around for half an hour, one in front of the other, until they were covered in sweat. Wang Fuyou then turned into a small restaurant without a sign.

There were five tables inside, three of which were occupied. A large fan stood at the far end, oscillating and blowing towards the door. The walls were covered with posters. Wang Fuyou went straight to the kitchen, and Li Wei followed.

Wang Fuyou said to a man in his thirties, "Just make me some bamboo shoots stewed with old duck, and two bottles of beer to rinse my mouth. That's all."

Li Wei came out with a pout, found a table and sat down, saying, "I'll take charge of the accounts. I want a whole basket of beer. This guy is so stingy."

"Brother Wei, you have to drive tonight, so don't drink too much. This boss's stew is really good, you'll know once you try it," Wang Fuyou said as he came out and sat down opposite him.
