Chapter 123: Anecdotes of the Driving Test

fun at your No. 1 High School Anything interesting Oh, right, wasn't there an incident where someone stabbed another student last time What happened in the end"Upon hearing this, Liu Rui saw a chance...Chapter 123: Anecdotes of the Driving Test

※The last class ended. The next day, everyone officially gathered at the driving school.

The coach Li Wei said to everyone, "On the test side, it's best if each person gives fifty yuan. This isn't for me but to deal with the examiners. Buying two packs of cigarettes and giving red envelopes is necessary; otherwise, you won't get your license. If you truly can't obtain a driver’s license here, you'll soon be going to college, so it would only delay yourself. Therefore, it's best to be more secure, although the most important thing is still not to make any mistakes."

Two men in their thirties obediently handed over the money. The first-year female student Qiu Xiao clearly hesitated but still took out the money from her bag.

Lin Luoran was still talking about how a few friends might come today and thus conveniently took out his little red wallet to pay on behalf of Su Can and others.

This made the two men secretly marvel. High school students were indeed quite wealthy these days. However, after analyzing their interaction over such a long period of time, they concluded that Lin Luoran's and Tang Wu's families could be considered moderately well-off but not particularly influential.

Students who had connections at home would find them easily for car practice for ten or more days before directly coming to take the test. A familiar face at the Vehicle Management Office was much more useful than a coach's smile and money.

The venue was a large circular testing ground, divided into different areas. The drill pole and pressing plate exam areas were enclosed by iron wire nets. There were many people standing around as there seemed to be quite a few students learning driving during the holidays. Some students from No. 27 High School saw Su Can, Tang Wu, Wang Weiwei, and others here; they were rather surprised.

After graduating senior year, all former celebrities and popular boys and girls only existed in memory—no one would think of seeing them again. Seeing them now was naturally a great surprise and made for an excellent day.

Somewhat surprisingly, some people became extroverted after just one exam during the holiday. Wang Weiwei and Lin Zhouwu were particularly cool when others greeted them; they only exchanged greetings in a perfunctory manner.

Qiu Xiao smiled and looked at these boys and girls she had been with day and night for over twenty days, saying, "Wow, you're quite popular." In fact, it was understandable why they were so popular. The guys weren't bad-looking, the girls were pretty, and such a combination should be quite outstanding in school.

On one side of the testing ground, someone passed the exam; it turned out to be that young man who wasn't very friendly with them at the driving school.

A man next to Su Can's group said, "He has connections. He clearly pressed the front wheel twice when pressing the plate, but the examiner pretended not to see it and still let him pass. Ridiculous."

In such a crowded venue, passing around rumors was something people often did.

Lin Luoran received a few more calls; after hanging up, she said, "They've entered Chengdu's ring road. I asked them to drive the car straight to the test site. Two cars, and they will pick us up when we're done so that we can see if their cars suit us."

Wang Weiwei chuckled and said, "Zhang Lin and her boyfriend Zhao Chunyang Xu Zhuoming, Zhang Lufei, Li Lan—these guys are people I really miss."

Ling Zhouwu burst out laughing, saying, "After the college entrance exam, Zhang Lin's dad immediately gave her a fifty thousand yuan reward. Coincidentally, Zhang Lin had bought stocks that were rising at that time; she earned over twenty million dollars and used it together with what her father had given to buy a new car. She had been talking about going to Songjiang Sajing Town or the Dongping National Forest Park for some time but found them too close and boring. Xu Zhuoming's dad went on an inspection tour in Europe, so he took this chance to take a break and drive his father’s car out." Otherwise, how could these people be so crazy How dare they drive over 100 miles per hour on the Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway and National Highway 318 straight into Chengdu

Su Can felt that Wang Weiwei's friends belonged to a different world from him and Tang Wu. He thought they would still have activities after the exam, so he decided to leave with Tang Wu first.

A few individuals quickly completed the side parking maneuver and then moved on to the pie-shaped bridge obstacle course and uphill start segment. After the son of the provincial planning commission director and the nephew of a military district's battalion commander smoothly passed these sections, they approached the examiners, offered them cigarettes, and started chatting. This drew some glances from the examiners towards Lin Guoran's direction.

"Brother Qian, please help us out," Liao Feng, the son of the provincial planning commission director, patted the shoulders of a 30-something examiner named Mr. Qian and greeted him. He thought they might not know who he was and decided to teach them a lesson today.

Mr. Qian nodded in agreement with Liao Feng's request. Someone had tipped off the examiners beforehand that there were friends of the planning commission director’s son among the examinees. The traffic management office and traffic police station had also been instructed to give this group special attention. Mr. Qian was delighted upon receiving this information, as it indicated high-level support for him.

At the same time, he felt uneasy about Su Can's group. In an exam controlled by the examiners who held authority over life and death, this unease signified a potential danger.

Su Can and Tang Wu proceeded according to regulations and did well throughout the exam. Mr. Qian's expression remained unchanged as he marked both their papers with checkmarks. Wang Weiwei and Lin Zouwu also performed normally and passed successfully.

The more experienced senior students who had been in the car with them breathed a sigh of relief. It was true that there were bad relations between Wang Weiwei, Su Can, and other spoiled young men from their driving school class, especially after they had humiliated these men when they first went out on the road. The seniors worried about any potential incidents involving those with backgrounds. But now it seemed they had been overly cautious.

The last examinee, Lin Luoran, also performed well and smoothly passed all obstacles until he reached the uphill start segment. Then Mr. Qian walked over to the car, opened the door, sat beside him, and instructed him.

This kind of examination phase was common, equivalent to an overall evaluation during the road test, where the examiner judged driving behavior and scored accordingly.

Lin Luoran paid no mind. As he started uphill, Mr. Qian said, "Pull over."

The car came to a sudden stop on the hill. The examiner marked a cross on his sheet.

"What do you mean" Lin Luoran asked indignantly.

Mr. Qian remained expressionless and replied, “Improper maneuvering; drive the vehicle up the slope again for your next attempt.”

“On what basis should I retake the test Weren’t you the one who told me to pull over When exactly did I violate regulations” Lin Luoran’s tone turned cold as he restrained his anger.

The crowd outside saw something unusual happening in the car and sighed. They regretted that this last step had not been passed successfully.

Su Can and Wang Weiwei frowned, instinctively looking towards Liao Feng. They noticed four men and two women staring at them intently with strange smiles.

"Don’t argue; drive the car up now," said the examiner dismissively through his nose.

"Who gave you the right to abuse your power Who's your superior Call him out!" Lin Luoran clearly didn't expect the examiner to be so shameless, and said sternly.

"Get out of the car! Don’t waste time arguing with me! What are you trying to prove as a woman This examiner probably hasn't encountered someone who would stand up to him like this. And a young girl actually demands her superior supervisor to step forward – have you been watching too many Hong Kong and Taiwanese dramas"

Crash! Lin Luoran got out of the car, slammed the door shut, and marched towards Su Can's group with an intense aura.

The money surnamed examiner also got out of his car. He clenched his fists tightly; being humiliated in front of everyone like this by a female trainee was quite infuriating. Despite Lin Luoran being a girl, the male examiner had no interest in her beauty and wasn't one to show mercy either. In this level of vehicle management office, he managed to get such an important position at his age, which could be considered as a young achievement. No one would dare confront him like this otherwise.

Now that Lin Luoran was a woman, he didn’t take further action. Moreover, after the other coaches tried to dissuade him, he pushed them away and got back into his car with an aggressive look on his face. He started up the engine and sped off at least sixty miles per hour, honking as he drove up the slope and made a sharp turn before braking suddenly.

People waiting for their driving test more than twenty meters away felt intimidated by this examiner's rage.

Liao Feng and others laughed even harder.

Coach Liwang’s face turned pale in an instant. He tried to persuade the money surnamed examiner a couple of times, but was ignored completely as he left dejectedly. On Lin Luoran’s side, many people had gathered around them asking what happened.

"Why did you argue with him" Liwang saw that Lin Gege was furious too and didn’t blame her, instead asked cautiously.

Everyone explained the situation; some even testified to how well Lin Luoran performed during the test. They knew she would pass, so why did something suddenly go wrong

When Liwang heard this, he felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that this examiner had a problem with Lin Luoran and was deliberately making things difficult for her. After some thought, he gritted his teeth and approached the examiner while holding cigarettes in hand as if to placate him; his usual image of uprightness and integrity seemed completely different now.

However, the examiner, being very arrogant, didn't care about Liwang’s respect or even look at him. He treated him like air, which made Liwang particularly depressed.

The cigarettes were refused; then Liwang took out a red envelope and quietly slipped it to the examiner, who waved his hand to refuse that too. "What are you doing This is inappropriate! Don't engage in such small tricks. I clearly told you that your student won’t pass here, yet you still want to find my superior supervisor. Go ahead; do what you please! You all shouldn’t block the way now that we’re giving exams. The next person can get into the car!"

Looking at Liao Feng's group with a mocking smile on their faces while they watched this chaotic scene, there was an abnormal sense of dominance and aimless amusement in their expressions and eyes. Now everyone knew where these problems originated from.

Coach Liwang returned dejectedly, looked at the crowd for a long time without saying anything; he didn't say those words that were on his lips: "You should consider finding some connections with your family," but only changed to another sentence, "Wait, he’s still in a fit of rage now. I’ll go persuade him later when he calms down. He will give me face."

"No need."

Wang Weiwei made a call. "Hello, Mr. Zhu. There's something I don’t know whether to tell you or not. I didn't dare to tell my dad because I’m afraid he would think that I got into trouble, but in reality, we are the ones who are being targeted."

Zhu Zicheng is Wang Bo's secretary. After listening to Wang Weiwei's complaint, he said, "It’s like that, Weiwei. Uncle Zhu will handle it well. Is that okay"

"Mm-hmm, thank you, Uncle Zhu," Wang Weiwei hung up the phone.

Coach Liwang and a few men in their thirties or forties looked at Wang Weiwei with surprise. From what he said just now, this kid is so young but doesn’t know his limits, and he really has quite an attitude. One must know that such examiners are also regular traffic police officers in the vehicle administration office. Ordinary people can't afford to provoke them.

A short while later, the main examiner who was leisurely drinking tea inside the examination building ran down sweating profusely, which surprised all the examiners present. When he saw the surnamed Qian examiner and the irate Lin Ge Ran here, his hand went numb.

He then suddenly regained composure. He came over to Wang Weiwei and smiled, "It’s our negligence at work; it's our mistake. We’ll solve this for everyone soon." His words were calm, but sweat was still dripping down from his forehead.

Then he went up to the surnamed Qian examiner. This Qian examiner could treat anyone like they weren't there, but when a real superior leader came, he wouldn’t dare be so high and mighty; he heard this main examiner whisper something in his ear.

This Qian examiner was stunned for a moment as sweat dripped down his forehead, no less than the amount the superior leader had sweated.

He took just two or three steps over, grabbing the examination paper in Lin Luoran's hand and changed the crossed-out answer to a tick. With an air of kindness and care, he said, "I didn’t do my job properly; this is all my fault. It was completely a misunderstanding. You’ve passed, you see Everyone has passed today. Graduating from high school and learning to drive is quite impressive. Your driving skills are really good."

The surnamed Qian examiner’s speech was incoherent; one could almost hear him crying. He knew that someone of his stature didn’t have the qualifications to know or come into contact with these kids' names, but why hadn't he received this information beforehand

Everyone felt like they were watching a play. This examiner had an arrogant demeanor just now, and in a blink of an eye, he was almost groveling on the ground. The forced smiles from his body and the contrast with the cold figure everyone knew made them seem completely different.

"Your tampering looks so bad; I don’t want it! Keep it yourself, alright Take good care of it." Lin Luoran looked at the examination paper in her right hand before turning around to leave.

The perpetrators of this incident also watched this dramatic scene with bewilderment, unable to understand how things had suddenly changed so drastically.

Shortly after, a Beetle and a BMW 7-series sedan entered the exam grounds.

Lin Luoran's friends from Shanghai arrived.

Everyone piled into the cars and sped away. The mood of the examination ground was surging with excitement; it was too thrilling to watch these usually domineering examiners look so frightened. Everyone couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief, admiring these young kids’ boldness.

Even if someone were as dull-witted as possible, they could tell from the shift in circumstances that there was significant power behind Su Can and the other children.

Clenching the red envelope in his hand, Coach Liwang wasn't frightened nor did he treat it like a hot iron; instead, he gave a self-deprecating smile. His heart was filled with mixed feelings as those boys and girls left.
