"You already got your license?"
Lin Ziyi frowned slightly:
"Wang Yi, what's the point of telling such a lie? To get my attention?"
"???"
Wang Yi was speechless:
"None of your business!"
"You!"
Lin Ziyi was choked with anger.
Wang Yi was too lazy to say more, and directly took out his driver's license:
"Come, look at your godfather's driver's license!"
Sun Rui opened it and his eyes widened:
"Holy crap! It really is a driver's license, you really got your license?"
"Of course, I just finished the third subject this morning, along with the previous batch. Practice hard, my good son! Don't embarrass your godfather."
Wang Yi patted Sun Rui's shoulder and headed straight for the shoe factory.
Sun Rui, however, stood frozen, his expression extremely complex.
Lin Ziyi, Li Xin, and a few others likewise looked at each other, too shocked to speak.
We just started practicing, and you actually got your license!
Some people are just abnormal!
Unbelievable!
"Damn, damn, damn!"
"He passed Subject Three with only three days of practice!"
"How is he so awesome?"
"Beast!"
Wu Qi cursed, completely distraught.
Lin Ziyi's heart sank, and her sense of superiority, having scored more than 20 points higher than Wang Yi, somewhat vanished.
But, arrogant as she was, she remained unconvinced:
"Wang Yi, which school did you apply to?"
"Beihang!" The first batch of volunteer applications had ended, and Wang Yi didn't hide it.
"What? You scored 569 and applied to Beihang? Are you crazy!"
Lin Ziyi was horrified.
Li Xin also looked bewildered:
"Wang Yi, you were impulsive. For a school like Beihang, even 669 might not be stable!"
Sun Rui, however, gave a thumbs-up:
"Awesome! Putting everything else aside, I admire your reckless courage!"
Wang Yi smiled faintly:
"I'm just giving it a try. If I get admitted, I'll go to Beihang. If not, I'll go back to repeat a year and try for Beihang again next year!"
This line of reasoning was something Wang Yi had thought of in advance.
After all, daring to apply to Beihang with only 569 points and getting admitted successfully would indeed arouse suspicion.
But with this explanation, it would be perfect.
If asked, it's because I have a Beihang dream!
Even if it means retaking the exam, I'll still aim for Beihang!
As expected, they all believed him.
Wu Qi exclaimed:
"So that's it, you've made up your mind to repeat a year, which is why you're so impulsive. That's quite bold!"
"Not bad, not bad, I didn't expect you to be a boy with a Beihang dream, very promising!"
Li Xin said, looking meaningfully at Lin Ziyi:
"These days, there are plenty of persistent 'dog lickers'. But persistent dream chasers are few! Are you really going to miss out?"
Lin Ziyi's expression was complex, but she still walked over and said softly:
"Wang Yi, what I said before still stands."
"What did you say?"
Wang Yi had no recollection at all.
"If you repeat a year and get into a 985 university next year, I can still give you a chance, we can still..."
"Stop! No need!" Wang Yi quickly interrupted Lin Ziyi:
"Absolutely not, no need. We're not suitable! The mountains are high and the roads are long, we won't meet again."
Who wants your chance?
What a joke!
Living another life, who the hell has time for romance?
Not to mention, most relationships aren't pure.
Even the purest relationships have an expiration date!
And the shelf life is very short, changes, more fright than pleasant surprise...
Truly uninteresting.
For 99% of men, money is far more reliable than women, and career is far more reliable than love!
Wang Yi didn't think he was that 1%.
Not in his previous life, nor in this one.
Instead of wasting time in relationships and demeaning himself, it's better to wholeheartedly pursue a career and make money!
This year he is 18, at 19 he will become middle-class, at 20 he will become high-earning.
Before 30, become top-tier, capital, a rule-maker!
Isn't that better?
By then, what kind of woman wouldn't he have?
Why give up the entire rainforest for one Lin Ziyi?
Totally unnecessary.
"Wang Yi, you're awful!"
"Don't you dare regret this!"
Lin Ziyi was furious, she clearly put aside past grievances and gave him a chance!
But Wang Yi paid no attention and walked straight ahead.
"Hmph! I thought you were so great, daring to apply to Beihang with 569, truly an oddball, hahaha."
A harsh voice rang out, Chu Chuanjun started his sarcastic remarks again.
Wang Yi stopped, and smiled slightly:
"Chu Chuanjun, I passed Subject Three in three days, which is pretty amazing. You practiced for a whole month and still failed, that's truly an oddball! You're very self-aware!"
"Bastard!"
Chu Chuanjun was choked with anger.
"Who is the bastard talking about?"
Wang Yi laughed.
"The bastard is talking about you!"
"That's right, there's a bastard talking about me! Hahaha."
Wang Yi waved his hand and left, laughing loudly.
"You!" Chu Chuanjun finally realized he was too angry and had fallen for a trick.
And it was a very simple trick...
Immediately, his hair stood on end with fury:
"Wang Yi, you're asking for death!"
Watching this scene, Wu Qi spoke slowly:
"This trick is very familiar, anyone who's seen 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' would know it, right? How can someone still fall for it?"
Sun Rui nodded:
"What if he's illiterate?"
Chu Chuanjun: "!!!"
He understood, these few people were all in it together!
Chu Chuanjun was angry, but decided to be sensible and endured it.
If it came to a fight, at least Sun Rui would help Wang Yi.
Even if Wu Qi didn't get involved, two against one, he had no chance of winning.
He could only bark impotently:
"Wang Yi, you just wait!"
"Heh heh!"
Wang Yi gave him the middle finger and walked towards the nearby Taishi Shoe Factory.
This shoe factory was right behind the driving school.
"Young man, what are you here for?"
The security guard Ahjussi stopped Wang Yi.
"Does your factory have a lot of leftover orders and odd-sized shoes? I plan to buy some in bulk."
Wang Yi got straight to the point.
Taishi Shoe Factory specialized in foreign trade, was quite large, and its orders were all big ones.
If buying regular shoes, if the order was small, the other party might not bother with it.
But for leftover orders and odd-sized shoes that were difficult to handle, that would be a different story.
Moreover, most security guard Ahjussis are not simple.
They might even be related to the shoe factory boss.
"Leftover orders, odd-sized shoes!"
The security guard Ahjussi became interested:
"You really want them?"
"Yes."
"How many do you want?"
Wang Yi thought for a moment:
"Over a thousand pairs!"
"Alright, I'll contact them for you!"
The security guard Ahjussi took out his phone and dialed a number:
"Erni, it's me. There's a young man here who wants leftover orders and odd-sized shoes, over a thousand pairs. Come talk to him!"
"Yes, right at the entrance. Should I send him over now?"
"Alright!"
The Ahjussi hung up the phone and pointed to the reception room ahead:
"Young man, you can go now."
"Thank you, Ahjussi."
Wang Yi walked inside, having indeed guessed correctly.
Just the name Erni indicated that this Ahjussi must be of no low seniority.
He was probably retired and bored, so he came to his junior's factory to be a security guard and pass the time.
"Are you the one who wants leftover orders and odd-sized shoes?"
A woman in her forties came to greet him.
She was dressed simply, without makeup, but she was very capable, clearly a no-nonsense, pragmatic type.
Dealing with such people is very efficient.
No need to go through several rounds at a dinner table or arrange a full entertainment package just to discuss business.
"Yes, could you show me around?"
"Of course, this way."
The woman led Wang Yi to a large warehouse in the corner, filled with many shoes, all leftover stock.
There were more sizes, making them easier to sell than odd-sized shoes.
