Chapter 105: The Extorted Car

On the afternoon of the next day, Xun Can, who had never stepped foot in the entrepreneurship base before, suddenly arrived. He chatted about this and that, with no discernible focus to the conversation, and finally left with a stack of "Rocket 101 Express" flyers.

It was likely that Jiang Mingling had talked to Xun Can and told the truth, so this favor fell to Yang Tianxing.

Xun Can couldn't thank him directly—after all, "the department head who let him come" didn't sound very good—so he took a stack of flyers back to distribute.

Of course, the favor owed remained on the books.

After Xun Can left, Yang Tianxing continued working on a spreadsheet on his computer; Tan Zhizhi had already returned the laptop, so he was now using a desktop computer allocated by the school.

"Tap, tap, tap."

A crisp sound of high heels hitting the floor came from the doorway. Out of the corner of his eye, Yang Tianxing caught a glimpse of a slender, graceful figure, and he immediately felt a jolt of nervousness.

This was a case of "once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope." The impression from the day school started, when Liu Jiaoyue and Tan Zhizhi almost bumped into each other, was too deep; now, whenever a woman with a build similar to Tan Zhizhi's walked by, Yang Tianxing's heart would inexplicably race.

In fact, the person who had arrived was Wang Shuzhu, the Chang'an City General Manager of Shentong Express, followed by Zhang Liye, the franchisee for the Chang'an District.

"The festive atmosphere of the New Year hasn't faded yet; are the two leaders here to inspect the work or to offer condolences to your subordinates?"

Yang Tianxing put his thoughts aside and greeted them with a grin.

Zhang Liye was more familiar with Yang Tianxing, and he sauntered around rooms 101 and 102: "Just now I saw quite a few students wearing Rocket 101 vests. You've got this computer set up, you've got tricycles, and you even have Zhong Wenhai specifically for collecting goods."

"Manager Wang."

Zhang Liye turned his head to Wang Shuzhu and said, "I think this kid Yang Tianxing is widely recruiting retainers and secretly building up his strength. He doesn't lack the ambition to jump out and work on his own; I suggest we execute him immediately."

As he spoke, he made a hand-knife motion, chopping downward.

Wang Shuzhu covered her mouth and chuckled. She naturally saw that Zhang Liye was joking. Besides, what kind of power could a college student have to work on his own, relying merely on two dilapidated classrooms? She would rather believe that Zhang Liye had "rebellious intentions."

Yang Tianxing felt he was being "falsely accused of lacking innocence," and with a cold laugh, he said, "Manager Zhang, have you been reading *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* often lately?"

"How did you know?"

Zhang Liye nodded: "I had nothing to do at home during the Spring Festival, so I found *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* and read it through. I have to say, it's actually quite good."

"Don't read that kind of book in the future."

Yang Tianxing waved his hand: "It doesn't fit your temperament at all."

Zhang Liye was stunned for a moment: "Then what kind of books should I read?"

"Read *Story Magazine*, *Zhiyin*, or *Youth Digest*. Aren't the little stories in them interesting? Why read *Three Kingdoms*?"

Yang Tianxing said with a serious face.

Zhang Liye looked disdainful: "Those are things my wife loves to read. My level is different from hers."

"Alright, alright."

Wang Shuzhu hurriedly spoke up to interrupt. She felt that if she didn't stop them, the two of them might brag until nightfall without repeating themselves. Serious business was more important.

"Runxing Electronic Equipment Factory contacted me today. They said the big shot in charge of the work has already arrived in Chang'an. We can go and listen to the work arrangements and see how to take on the demand for express parcel collection at their factory."

Upon hearing that a big deal had arrived, Yang Tianxing didn't waste any words. He grabbed his bag, said goodbye to the people at the entrepreneurship base, and left.

Until the three of them were out of sight, He Yulin, who had been quietly working on the side, trotted over to Liu Jiaoyue's side.

"Jiaoyue, you have to be careful of that woman in the future. I think she's being flirtatious, and she's always twisting her waist when she talks. Is she showing off that her waist is thin?"

Liu Jiaoyue blinked; she didn't understand what He Yulin meant at all.

He Yulin had no choice but to explain more clearly: "Yang Tianxing is probably the richest student in our class now. Men turn bad when they have money. I just feel like you should keep an eye on him."

"Oh~"

Liu Jiaoyue thought blankly for a moment, then shifted her attention back to the computer operation, leaving Secretary He to imagine things in her own world.

……………

After walking out of the school gate, Yang Tianxing discovered that Zhang Liye had a new car—a brand-new black Passat parked at the entrance.

Yang Tianxing circled the car twice: "Manager Zhang, you're doing well. You must have made a fortune last year."

"It's all thanks to the company's support. In the future, I'll still have to rely on Manager Wang's guidance."

Zhang Liye casually flattered Wang Shuzhu.

However, just as he was about to open the car door, Yang Tianxing stepped forward first: "Give me a chance today, let me serve you two leaders."

Zhang Liye sneered: "You don't even have a driver's license, how will you serve us?"

Yang Tianxing took his driver's license out of his pocket and shook it: "I just got it when I went home for winter break."

Taking advantage of Zhang Liye's hesitation, Yang Tianxing slipped into the driver's seat himself: "Hurry up and get in, don't keep people waiting too long."

Zhang Liye had no choice but to sit in the passenger seat: "Then drive slowly. New drivers are the most prone to accidents."

However, to Zhang Liye's surprise, Yang Tianxing's driving was nothing like his personality; it was very steady, not cutting off other cars or rushing time. He couldn't help but praise him: "You kid can actually drive well. It's completely different from your personality."

Yang Tianxing smiled and turned his head to ask Wang Shuzhu in the back: "Manager Wang, what do you think of my driving skills?"

Wang Shuzhu thought the young man was just showing off, so she also gave a compliment: "It is indeed very steady. It feels very comfortable to ride in, and I don't feel carsick."

"Then how about I be your driver in the future, Manager Wang?"

Yang Tianxing said suddenly.

Wang Shuzhu was taken aback, but immediately refused: "Thank you, we don't have many cars at our headquarters, and usually others use them more often."

This wasn't a lie; the last time Yang Tianxing and Wang Shuzhu went to the Runxing Electronics factory, they had taken a taxi.

Yang Tianxing glanced at Zhang Liye in the passenger seat: "Manager Zhang has an old Santana. Its performance is actually quite good; it just depends on whether he's willing to lend it to Manager Wang."

"If Manager Zhang is willing, then I'll be the driver. If Manager Wang has something to do, just give me a call, and I'll be there immediately. If Manager Zhang isn't willing, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Damn!"

Zhang Liye thought to himself, *I was just making a casual joke earlier, and you kid have been holding back to cause trouble, putting me in an awkward spot. *

"That car... I have to let my wife use it..."

Just as Zhang Liye was about to use a stalling tactic, Yang Tianxing immediately interrupted.

"Since it's inconvenient for Manager Zhang and there are difficulties, then forget it. It's not like Manager Wang absolutely must borrow your car."

"I..."

Zhang Liye held his breath in his chest, and in the end, he forced himself to change the subject: "I'm just letting my wife use that car for two days; I'll get it back for Manager Wang immediately."

Then he glared at Yang Tianxing: "Is this skill of yours for being a driver for Manager Wang?"

Yang Tianxing said with a grin: "Didn't Manager Zhang just praise me a moment ago? Have you forgotten already?"

"…………"

Zhang Liye let out a long sigh, as if he had lost all his strength and tactics, and leaned back in his seat, saying nothing more.

He understood now; the moment Yang Tianxing saw the new car outside the school, he had prepared to swindle him out of his old car, and when he had been loose-lipped and praised him, he had already fallen into the trap.

"Damn it, where on earth did such a shameless college student come from?"
