Chapter 1246: Brother Dong Drives a Taxi
Wang Dadong agreed to hand over the copper box fragments because he had two of them. Otherwise, even if Hao Wentao put a knife to his neck, he wouldn't give them up.
As for the purpose of the copper box fragments, he hadn't told Hao Wentao, leaving those self-righteous scientists to research it themselves.
Just after leaving the Dragon group, Wang Dadong's phone rang.
He took it out and saw that it was the Female CEO calling.
Wang Dadong exclaimed inwardly, 'Oh no,' having spent the day teaching the Little Witch to drive and then heading to the Dragon group for a challenge. Unintentionally, it was already past six in the afternoon, and the Female CEO was definitely off work.
It's over; the Female CEO is definitely going to scold him.
"Uh, Sister Lin, you're off work?" Wang Dadong braced himself and answered the call.
"Mm, Brother Da Dong, where did you go?" Surprisingly, Lin Shiyan didn't scold him; her tone was quite gentle.
"Uh, an old friend had something to discuss with me. Are you off work? I can come pick you up."
"No need, I might be back later tonight. If you're done with work, just go home; you don't need to wait for me." Lin Shiyan's voice carried a hint of apology.
"Oh, alright." Wang Dadong was used to it; as soon as she returned to the company, Lin Shiyan would immediately transform into a workaholic.
Everyone has their own way of living; he didn't need to change anything.
At the moment, Lin Shiyan was like a sailboat riding the waves, exploring the vast ocean. When she was tired and wanted to dock, Wang Dadong would naturally be her gentle harbor.
With Lin Shiyan working overtime, Wang Dadong suddenly had no desire to go home.
The Eastern County Villa felt quite deserted; Soya wasn't there, the Little Witch wasn't there, and if the Female CEO wasn't there, he really didn't want to go back.
But if he didn't go back, where could he go?
While grappling with where to go, Wang Dadong received a phone call.
It was an unexpected call from Chi Min.
Chi Min rarely called him. Since she didn't call, he naturally wouldn't call her either.
After all, he was now Chi Min's creditor. If he actively called, people might think he was hounding her for money.
"Chi the Beauty, what made you think of calling me?"
"Wang Dadong, I need a favor." Chi Min was as direct as ever, skipping pleasantries and stating her intention straight away.
"Uh, what favor? I don't do things like murder or arson." Wang Dadong replied.
"Please, I just need you to help drive my taxi for a while. I have a scheduling conflict tonight and can't leave my shift unattended. If you're free, I'll come find you now." Chi Min said.
Wang Dadong thought about it and, since he had nothing else to do, he figured driving a taxi for a bit might be nice. He might even pick up a few pretty girls, so he agreed to Chi Min's request and sent her his location immediately.
Within ten minutes, Chi Min's taxi appeared right in front of Wang Dadong.
After parking the car, Chi Min got out and handed the keys to Wang Dadong, instructing, "It won't take long, just drive until ten tonight, and the shift will be over. Remember, treat the passengers kindly and keep smiling. If I get complaints, I'm coming after you!"
"Wow, Chi the Beauty, you're really dedicated to your work." Wang Dadong was a bit speechless.
"I'm doing this to repay your money sooner. Tonight's earnings don't have to go to me; deduct them from the money I owe you." Chi Min pouted.
Wang Dadong, upon hearing this, felt dumbfounded. How unique this way of repaying money was.
But since he had already agreed, there was no point in complaining any further.
"Where are you headed? I'll take you there." Wang Dadong started the car, rolled down the window, and asked Chi Min.
"No need; I'm handling some matters nearby." Chi Min seemed quite rushed, and she left quickly after speaking, stepping away in her high heels.
Thus, Wang Dadong embarked on his temporary role as a taxi driver.
"Beauty, beauty, it has to be a beauty!" Wang Dadong prayed inwardly, hoping the first passenger he picked up would be a beauty.
However, while ideals are beautiful, reality is often harsh, as Wang Dadong discovered when his first passenger was a fifty-something old grandpa.
The second was a sixty-something old lady.
The third was Sister Ruhua...
An hour later, Wang Dadong was somewhat numb and stopped holding onto unrealistic fantasies.
He resigned himself to quietly being a small-time driver.
Just as Wang Dadong was feeling extremely disappointed, a stunning figure appeared before his eyes.
A black form-fitting dress, flesh-colored stockings, black fish-mouth high-heeled sandals, with straight hair cascading like a waterfall down her back, with a delicate appearance and mature, alluring demeanor, like a black rose in the night.
"Black Rose" extended her fair hand, beckoning to Wang Dadong, her lips lightly parted as she called, "Taxi."
Her voice made Wang Dadong's bones melt.
Finally, tonight wasn't in vain.
Wang Dadong slammed on the brakes, and the taxi stopped steadily in front of the woman in the black dress. He rolled down the window and asked, "Beauty, where to?"
The woman opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, and fastened the seatbelt, accentuating her proud curves.
"To the Prince Hotel," the woman softly said.
Upon hearing the woman's destination, Wang Dadong pursed his lips subtly. At this time of night, going to a hotel, there's no need to ask what she'll be doing there.
He couldn't help but hum inwardly, wondering who this luscious cabbage was being enjoyed by.
But that wasn't his concern. He was just a taxi driver, and aside from a monetary transaction, he wouldn't have any further interactions with her.
Wang Dadong started the car, which drove steadily along.
From the rearview mirror, Wang Dadong noticed the woman's expression seemed a bit sorrowful, though she hid it well.
Wang Dadong was curious; perhaps this woman wasn't going to have a fling?
Yet he didn't feel it was appropriate to ask, so he quietly drove the taxi.
After approximately twenty minutes, the taxi arrived at the entrance of the Prince Hotel.
"Hello, miss. That will be 38.5 yuan, Xie Xie." Wang Dadong turned to the woman in the passenger seat and said, while keeping the charming smile Chi Min had requested.
The woman seemed not to hear Wang Dadong's voice, her gaze fixed on the hotel entrance.
Following her gaze, Wang Dadong saw a middle-aged man, arm-in-arm with a woman, laughing and talking as they walked out of the hotel.
Such scenes weren't strange at hotel entrances, so Wang Dadong didn't think much of it and repeated: "Beauty, that's 38.5 yuan."
The woman suddenly turned to him, said expressionlessly, "I have no money. Can I compensate you with my body?"
