4: Chapter 4 Gu Yuqing
Soon, the dishes were served, the aroma wafting up, making Li Luo's appetite soar.
"Handsome Guy, the rice is in the rice cooker on the left. Serve as much as you eat; just don't waste any."
"Alright, boss." Li Luo hadn't eaten much that morning, so he went over, dished up a bowl of rice, and started digging in.
In no time, the dishes on the table were almost completely devoured by Li Luo.
So full. It had been a long time since he'd eaten this well. In a short while, Li Luo had polished off three bowls of rice.
It was mainly because he hadn't eaten much yesterday or this morning. He needed to be better to himself from now on.
【Hope dear readers will also be good to yourselves】
Now that he had the system, money was only a matter of time; there was no need to be stingy with himself.
He grabbed a toothpick from the table and, while picking his teeth, silently recited to the system to check his personal information.
【Name: Li Luo】
【Age: 27】
【Height: 1.75m】
【Weight: 75kg】
【Appearance: 65】 【100% Mechanism】
【Strength: 8, Spirit: 7, Stamina: 7, Physique: 9】 Note: The standard for a normal adult is 10; anything below 5 increases the risk of physical illness.
【Assets: 1635 huaxia coin】
【Positive Reviews: 1 / 100】 Completed today: 1 / 10
As expected, he hadn't received a five-star review just now.
Forget it, you can't force these things.
"Boss, check please." After paying for the meal,
he opened the system to check; his balance was now 1526 huaxia coin. The meal had cost 109 huaxia coin, which wasn't too expensive.
He went outside, got in the car, opened the backend to continue taking orders. If he didn't get ten five-star reviews today, he would keep working.
It seemed that once he had money, he needed to buy a better car to specifically run as a Ride-hailing service premium vehicle; that would make money much faster.
Li Luo was thinking this to himself.
The sound of his phone beside him pulled him back to reality: "You have received a real-time order. Please proceed to Tianjingshan Residential Area to pick up the passenger."
Not bad, an order came in.
Thirteen minutes later.
Li Luo arrived at Tianjingshan Residential Area and looked toward the woman at the station. It must be her; she had a suitcase beside her and was waving in his direction.
But why did this woman look so familiar? It felt like he had seen her somewhere before...
He turned on the right turn signal and slowed to a stop.
"Girl, let me put your luggage in the trunk for you."
"Oh, okay, thank you, driver."
"You're welcome!"
Looking at her up close, Li Luo was a bit stunned.
It could be said that in all the years, among the women he had seen,
this one could definitely rank in the top five; she was absolutely a 90-point beauty.
She was wearing a loose t-shirt on her upper body, paired with ripped jeans, and a pair of white sneakers on her feet.
Although there was no makeup on her delicate features, she was still radiant, and the baseball cap on her head made her look even more vibrant.
It made Li Luo's eyes light up; she was definitely a sporty-style Girl.
After snapping out of it, "Girl, please fasten your seatbelt. We're setting off."
"Okay, driver." The moment she spoke, it was like a golden oriole; crisp and melodious.
It truly stunned him for a moment. Being beautiful was one thing, but her voice was also this pleasant.
Nüwa must have been too biased when she created humans!
Others might have one of these traits at a top level, but she had them all.
"You're going to the airport, right, Girl?"
"Driver, please hurry a little; I'm catching a flight."
"No problem, just give me a five-star review," Li Luo said with a smile.
Constantly asking people for five-star reviews felt a bit awkward, but there was no other way; if you didn't ask, rarely would anyone give you one.
"Sure, no problem."
Realizing that the driver kept stealing glances at her while driving, Gu Yuqing was a bit speechless.
"Driver, have you seen enough? Can you focus on driving now?"
Li Luo said calmly upon hearing this.
"No, no, it's just that you looked a bit familiar, Girl. It seems like I've seen you somewhere before."
Gu Yuqing found it a bit funny.
"Is that so? You aren't going to tell me you've seen me before, are you! Are you really using such a cliché pickup line?"
He realized why she looked so familiar and hurriedly said,
"Girl, did you ever go to school in Zhucheng?"
Hearing the driver say this, Gu Yuqing became a bit nervous and answered with a hint of wariness:
"Driver, who did you hear that from?"
Li Luo was a bit speechless.
"Who would I hear it from? I know you. Did you go to Taoyuan Middle School?"
Looking at the Girl in front of him, he felt a bit sentimental. So many years had passed, and she had changed so much. The saying 'a Girl changes eighteen times before she grows up' was truly no exaggeration. Li Luo could still see traces of her former self on her face; after all, she had been his seatmate, so he still had some memory of her.
"Are you... are you, Li... Luo?"
"I thought that the great beauty Gu wouldn't recognize her old seatmate and Old Classmate," Li Luo teased.
"No, no."
Gu Yuqing blushed after he said that, and she looked even more radiant and moving.
He hadn't expected that by hailing a car, he would actually run into his former seatmate.
"Are you leaving the Jiangning?" Li Luo asked curiously.
"No! I work in the Jiangning; I'm just going on a business trip," Gu Yuqing said with a smile.
The Girl then added,
"My company has a troublesome matter over there, and I need to go handle it."
"Oh my, you're doing so well," Li Luo said, a bit surprised.
The Girl sighed upon hearing this.
"Not really, it's all for a living, there's no other way."
After finishing, the Girl immediately changed the subject.
"Is your current job working as a Ride-hailing service driver?"
"Yeah! Everyone in class knew I was an orphan; where would I get the money to go to high school? Plus, I wasn't good at studying, so I couldn't waste social resources. Those donations from kind-hearted people could help more people, right!" Li Luo said casually.
The Girl was suddenly a bit embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, I was just asking casually; I didn't mean anything else by it."
Li Luo said indifferently.
"It's fine, so many years have passed, I'm used to it. Being on my own is actually quite nice."
After saying that, he didn't forget to add,
"Don't forget to give me a five-star review later!"
"Of course, for an Old Classmate, it's definitely five stars!" The Girl said without a second thought.
"Thank you very much!"
"What's there to thank me for? It doesn't cost money, it's just a tap of the finger," the Girl rolled her eyes at him.
Li Luo suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said,
"Does the great beauty Gu often use a Ride-hailing service?"
The Girl was a bit puzzled.
"Yeah! Basically three or four times a week in the Jiangning! I'm a bit lazy; I always want to sleep for five more minutes in the morning, but by the time I open my eyes, half an hour has already passed. There's no other way, I'm late, so I have to use a Ride-hailing service."
As she spoke, the Girl teased,
"We're Old Classmates, why call me 'great beauty Gu'? Just call me by my name; we're acquaintances, no need to be so distant."
"Alright then, Gu Yuqing, can we exchange contact information? In the future, just contact me directly when you need a ride in the morning, and I'll come pick you up, how about that?" Li Luo said directly.
"Ah..."
Gu Yuqing was stunned, but quickly reacted.
She thought to herself: Has Li Luo really fallen to this point?
"I have to be at the company by eight every morning."
Li Luo hurriedly said.
"It's fine, I'm an early riser. Just send me a message when you wake up in the morning, and by the time you're ready, I'll definitely be waiting downstairs for you."
Although he said that, he was complaining internally: What kind of crappy company is this, starting work so early.
If it weren't for this five-star review being a big client, why the hell would I get up? Whoever wants to get up can, but I definitely wouldn't.
