64: Chapter 64
Seeing that it was a bizarre passenger, Chen Sheng immediately and calmly shifted the camera on the center console toward the passenger, ensuring he could capture her better.
However, once he had the camera set up, the excitement in his heart vanished.
Bizarre passengers are called bizarre for a reason; their words and actions are truly mood-ruining.
Just look...
The Female Passenger who had just gotten into the car, seeing that Chen Sheng dared to ask if she had any concerns, started chattering away non-stop.
"I just don't want to ride in the same car with you men."
"It's annoying! Do you know that?"
"If I had known you were a man, I would have canceled."
Three sentences!
In just three sentences, she slapped Chen Sheng awake from his anticipation of a bizarre passenger.
He couldn't help but complain internally: "If you want to cancel, just cancel! Did I damn well snatch your phone, or did I restrict your freedom? Don't you get thirsty from talking so damn much?!"
Of course, he couldn't answer like that; after all, the camera was recording.
Chen Sheng turned his head and asked the Female Passenger again: "Hey! No, if you have any concerns, you can tell me. If it's within my ability, I can help you resolve it. If it's beyond my ability, I can take you to the nearest police station."
It was an absolutely standard answer. When posted online later, it would definitely make it impossible for those internet trolls to find any points to attack.
It was strange, come to think of it. If you said he was popular, his followers hadn't even broken sixty thousand yet. If you said he wasn't popular, in the short few days since he posted his first social death video, he already had haters, including a few accounts that looked like professional trolls, specifically targeting the videos he posted to trash them.
Who knew that it would have been better if Chen Sheng hadn't said anything. When he said that, the Female Passenger's emotions became obviously more agitated, and she said in a hurried tone:
"I just feel disgusted sitting, sitting in the same car as you men."
"Is there a problem?"
"I think you guys stink."
"Foot odor, bad breath, smelling all over."
"Look at you, let me see what you look like."
"And you're out here driving?"
Chen Sheng: "..."
Does she have some serious mental issue or something?
She definitely has a damn mental issue, otherwise she wouldn't be able to say things like that.
And what do I look like, damn it?
I'm wearing a mask, damn it! I can't even tell myself, and you can damn well see that I'm ugly through the mask?
Pfft~ He's not ugly!
Chen Sheng turned back, once again suppressing his anger, and said speechlessly: "You..."
Just as he started, he was interrupted by the Female Passenger sitting in the back seat pointing her finger at him: "Don't you come over here, if you do that, I'll report you for sexual harassment!"
"Damn it!" Chen Sheng couldn't take it anymore and immediately retorted: "Who the hell is harassing you! I have... in my car..."
"I, I'm calling the police..." the Female Passenger said to herself: "I'm canceling right now..."
"No..."
The Female Passenger opened the car door, stepped out with her legs, and with a slam, she just left like that.
Ding~
γPassenger has canceled the order.γ
After a long while~
"Damn (it's a type of plant)!"
The depressed Chen Sheng was so agitated he wanted to go crazy.
Meeting a customer like this, who the hell can you reason with?
"Just wait to be exposed!" He swore that if he didn't post this Female Passenger online tonight, he would never drive for a ride-hailing service again.
Ride-hailing drivers will never be slaves, just like crowd-sourced delivery riders will never take customers' crap. Do you understand?
However...
He was also genuinely angry.
From the time this Female Passenger got in until she got out, it probably wasn't even five minutes, but this interaction of less than five minutes made Chen Sheng spend nearly half an hour and consume four cigarettes before he could smooth out the knot in his chest.
Setting off again.
Fortunately, the second order... no, the first order just now was canceled by the passenger, this was the first order. Today's first passenger was very polite, greeting him with "Hello, driver" as soon as they got in, and didn't forget to add "Sorry for the trouble, driver" before getting off.
Look at what a polite child this is.
The first order was completed smoothly, which must mean today will be smooth sailing.
And so, the second order, third order, fourth order... although they were all short trips, every customer was easy to get along with. Even if they just sat quietly from the start without speaking, or just played on their phones, they were all excellent in Chen Sheng's eyes.
Time smoothly transitioned to evening. During the evening rush hour, Chen Sheng received his seventh order of the day, driving from Jinjiang District to outside the Third Ring Road in Wuhou District.
Because it was evening rush hour, there were many vehicles leaving the city. During the driving process, Chen Sheng needed to be more focused, more frequently observing the situation of vehicles on both sides through the rearview mirrors.
Twenty minutes later, the car successfully drove off the Second Ring elevated road. After driving another 2.4 kilometers along the current road, he would be able to enter the Third Ring road. Once on the Third Ring, although there would still be many cars, with six to eight lanes in both directions, the driver wouldn't need to rack his brains trying to weave through gaps, which would also allow Chen Sheng's tense nerves to relax.
However, just at this moment, the passenger's questioning voice rang out in the quiet car cabin, "What are you looking at?"
For the first time, Chen Sheng, who was concentrating on driving, didn't react.
Seeing that the driver didn't speak, the passenger immediately raised her volume and asked again: "What exactly are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a woman?"
"Huh~" Chen Sheng asked blankly: "Are you talking to me?"
"Yeah! There are only the two of us in the car, who else would I be talking to? Why do you keep staring at me secretly?"
Heh~
Really, it proved once again that when a person is extremely speechless, they can actually laugh out loud.
"Um, miss, I'd like to ask, do you have a car? Have you ever driven?" Anyone who has a car, anyone who knows how to drive, wouldn't be able to ask such a stupid question.
Who knew the passenger wouldn't follow Chen Sheng's line of thought at all, and asked back righteously: "Whether I have a car or not, what does that have to do with you? Besides, is this car yours? Isn't it just rented by you?"
Chen Sheng: "..."
Just then, there was a temporary parking area ahead. Chen Sheng immediately turned on his signal and pulled the car over. After the car stopped, Chen Sheng then turned his head to explain to the passenger: "Miss, I didn't mean to show off that I have a car. I meant, have you ever driven, do you have a driver's license? If you had a driver's license, you would know that I'm looking at the rearview mirror, not peeking at you."
"Rearview mirror?" Perhaps this term was a bit unfamiliar to the passenger; a momentary look of confusion appeared on her face, and then her volume raised: "Rearview mirror, don't you have a rearview mirror on your side too? Can't you just look at yours? Why do you have to look at this one on my side?"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, getting angry only hurts yourself." Chen Sheng kept taking deep breaths...
Chen Sheng asked the passenger speechlessly: "Miss, why do you think cars are designed with two side mirrors and one rearview mirror? Is it just for looks?"
The passenger was stumped by the question, but thinking that the rearview mirror is just what she usually uses to apply lipstick, she immediately raised her voice a few notches: "Clearly you're just making excuses. Don't think that just because I'm pretty, you can keep peeking at me, okay."
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, getting angry only hurts yourself." Chen Sheng took deep breaths again...
Don't be angry my ass.
Chen Sheng widened his eyes, spread his hands, and also raised his voice: "If that's what you think, why don't you sit in the back seat? If you sit in the back, the seats will block it, and I won't be able to see."
