Chapter 169: Chapter 166: I’m Here for a Meal (Request for Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

"You live in the Northwest, and you don’t even know where the Zhao Family is? Are you from out of town??"

The young man looked at Ye Tian with curiosity.

"That’s right, I just came from Yunhai, and I’m not familiar with the area, so I hope you can tell me how to get there!"

Ye Tian smiled, showing his white teeth.

"Hey, hey, there’s Old Zhang’s taxi at the entrance. He just finished eating noodles. Ask him to give you a ride."

The young man pointed to the taxi at the entrance, where sure enough, a middle-aged man was wiping the car, seemingly ready to start work.

"Thanks, I’ll be visiting this noodle shop often in the future. The taste is really good."

Ye Tian raised a thumb to the young man.

"Another one wanting to go see the excitement at the Zhao Family. How can an outsider possibly get in!!"

"Why do you care? Hurry up and finish your noodles; the bricks at the construction site are waiting for you."

"Sigh, another ignorant youth. I hope he doesn’t get into any trouble!"

Said an old man holding a hoe, his hand bones visible, surely having endured life’s hardships.

"You’re Old Zhang, right? I want to go to the Northwest Zhao Family. Can you take me there?"

Ye Tian asked Old Zhang warmly.

"Uh, no problem!!"

"By the way, all the young people I’ve picked up this morning are heading to the Zhao Family. That’s not a place ordinary people can enter!"

"Those young folks are all dressed in fancy suits, the scent of their perfume could kill me!"

"A grown man, wearing so much perfume, I don’t even want to look at them."

"You, in your casual wear, with mud on your shoes, be careful, I fear those snobbish security guards might throw you out."

Old Zhang kindly reminded Ye Tian while wiping the car.

Ye Tian actually wanted to change into a stylish suit too, but all his money was taken by Mu Yunxi, under the pretext of providing a dowry for Lin Chumo, but really just to prevent him from leaving.

"No problem, Master Zhang, I’m just going to the Zhao Family to wait for a friend."

Ye Tian smiled awkwardly, looking like an innocent rural boy.

"Come on, I’ve cleaned the car, get in!"

Old Zhang opened the door, inviting Ye Tian to get in.

....

Old Zhang, with thirty years of driving experience, truly deserved the title. The roads in the Northwest are twisted, but Brother Zhang handled the steering wheel with one hand, incredibly steady, without a single sway. Ye Tian thought those so-called racing champions, compared with Old Zhang in the same type of car, would definitely be left in the dust.

"Brother Zhang, you’re driving too fast, won’t your passengers give you a bad rating?"

Ye Tian looked at the rearview mirror and asked Old Zhang.

"You call this fast? If it weren’t for you being young, I purposely slowed down."

Old Zhang said confidently in his skills.

"In the Northwest, taxi drivers earn money with speed. You know how fast-paced life is now, slower ones just get complaints to the company."

"See this speed measurement tool, it’s standard for drivers."

Old Zhang took out a stopwatch-like device from the dashboard to show Ye Tian.

"Doesn’t anyone care about speeding?"

Ye Tian continued to ask.

"We’re still far from the city center. In places like the Northwest, wide-open spaces and sparse population, the wealthy people race cars every night."

"Fewer people mean tough competition for us in this line of work; if we don’t speed up, how can we get passengers!"

"Sigh, I fear accidents from going too fast too, but for the sake of my wife and kids at home, no matter how hard it is, I must endure!"

When speaking of this, Old Zhang’s tone grew a bit sad, his weathered face showing rare tenderness.

Ye Tian didn’t speak, quietly watching the scenery passing by the window, though the dust obscured the view, the desolation seeped into his soul, etched into the blood of every person living in the Northwest.

After a while.

The desolate scenery gradually receded, and the bustling city began to appear before everyone, a thought of Heaven, a thought of Hell, one person living in two different environments, in the morning the bustling city, at night lulled by the countryside’s rooster crow, such sadness.

"Miss, isn’t the person in the taxi behind the same guy who was eating noodles at the shop just now?"

"It seems he’s been following us for a long time. Is he also going to the Zhao Family?"

Xiao Mi sitting in the Rolls Royce’s front passenger seat, turned and asked Sister Lu.

"Just a coincidence, even if he’s going to the Zhao Family, it has nothing to do with us!"

"You always worry about this and that!!"

"We’re running late, sit tight, I’m gonna speed up."

Sister Lu said, then stepped on the gas, causing Xiao Mi to scream and turn pale.

"Swish swish swish~~~"

"Xiao Tian, we’ve arrived, get off!"

"I saw you at the noodle shop earlier, you didn’t seem to have much money, this ride’s on me, let’s be friends!"

Old Zhang smiled kindly.

"No, no, take this eighty yuan, I’ll give you the rest later."

Ye Tian grabbed the remaining eighty yuan and quickly stuffed it into Old Zhang’s hand, then jokingly got off the car.

"Huh, why is that girl looking at me like she’s unhappy, I didn’t provoke her!"

Ye Tian got off just in time to see Xiao Mi glaring at him with wide eyes.

Ye Tian glanced around, gosh, the parking lot at the Zhao Family’s gate was filled with all kinds of luxury cars, almost like a car show.

Some cars looked ordinary, but their license plates were impressively intimidating, and there were cars from other places, all parked at the entrance, showing the Zhao family patriarch’s great reputation.

Of course, there were also well-dressed men, whose strong cologne scent could be smelled even from a distance. They stood at the Zhao Family’s gate, looking forward, like watching stones, fixated on the comings and goings of big personalities, their gaze full of flattery.

"Northwest’s Miss Lu Qingwen arrives, presenting a century-old ginseng!!"

The tall guards at the gate shouted loudly, attracting countless exclamations.

"What a big gesture, truly generous, worthy of the Northwest’s top Medicine King Family!!"

"I just saw Miss Lu’s Rolls Royce, worth over eighty million, so lavish."

Those seemingly glamorous young men discussed fervently.

Seeing almost everyone went in, Ye Tian, the most handsome protagonist, decided it was time to go in too, otherwise, he might miss out on the food.

Ye Tian strode forward, his flamboyant posture drawing frequent glances, mostly with disdain and contempt, his clothes making him the best-dressed King of Trash at the event, hahaha.

"Look at that guy, planning to enter the Zhao Family’s birthday banquet too!!"

"Another one trying to blend in, not even carrying a gift, at least I brought a gift box."

"You, get lost, the stuff in there isn’t even worth a thousand."

"Let’s just watch the drama, daredevil, wow!!!"

Everyone pointed and whispered, all certain Ye Tian wouldn’t get in.

"Stop, unauthorized people aren’t allowed inside!!"
