Working in Dongguan: The Girls I Met Over the Years

Chapter 133, please speed up the pace.

The car sped along for about half an hour.

The car finally came to a stop.

Ma Junjie asked Liu Jialing, who was driving,

"Sister Liu, have we arrived yet?"

Carina Lau took off her sunglasses and said,

"Yes, get off the bus!"

Ma Junjie opened the car door and looked around.

He found the surroundings desolate, with bare yellow earth in many places, as if a new building was about to be constructed in this area.

Ma Junjie asked,

"Sister Liu, are we practicing driving here?"

Carina Lau, wearing a sun hat and standing in the shade of a tree, answered.

"Yes!"

"This area is slated for development, but the road ahead isn't finished yet; it's a dead end with no people or cars—perfect for practicing driving!"

Ma Junjie suddenly realized and laughed.

"Sister Liu, you've thought of everything so thoroughly!"

"But I've only ever driven a tractor; I don't know if I can drive a car!"

Carina Lau replied,

"If you can drive a tractor, then driving this vehicle is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito—a huge waste of your talent!"

"This car is automatic; there's an accelerator and a brake. Any normal person can drive it!"

"Oh!" Ma Junjie nodded.

"Sister Liu, shall I give it a try?"

Carina Lau remained very calm.

"Go ahead, just go slowly at first! You sit in the driver's seat, I'll sit in the passenger seat, and I'll show you how to operate it!"

Ma Junjie opened the driver's side door and got in.

On the other side, Carina Lau opened the passenger side door and got in as well.

"Ah Jie, the left side is the brake, the right side is the accelerator, and this is the gear shift lever..."

"R is reverse, N is neutral, D is drive, and you shift to P when you get out of the car..."

"Just press the brake and shift into gear to choose whichever gear you want..."

Ma Junjie listened attentively, then tentatively tried to operate it.

I shifted into reverse (R) gear, and then suddenly an image appeared on the center console screen.

Looking at the image, it looks a bit like the scene behind a car.

Ma Junjie was greatly surprised and asked,

"Sister Liu, what... what is this thing?"

"How...how can it still display the images behind it?"

Seeing Ma Junjie's surprised expression, Carina Lau calmly introduced...

"That's a reversing camera and a radar!"

"If there's an obstacle behind you, the car will sound its alarm!"

"Wow, that's amazing?" Ma Junjie exclaimed in surprise.

For him, who had only ever driven tractors, these things were simply unimaginable high technology.

Ma Junjie touched the gear shift lever and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Sister Liu, your car is so high-end!"

"Sister Liu, when I have money in the future, I'll buy a car like this too!"

Seeing Ma Junjie stroking the car with shining eyes,

Carina Lau suddenly laughed.

"Ah Jie, it might be difficult for you to buy it for the time being!"

"Even though you've been promoted to team leader and will earn 3000 yuan a month, buying a car is still a long way off!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie took his hand off the car.

He said with a smile,

"Sister Liu, the car I'm talking about is definitely not for someone like you. I know my place."

"I saw a QQ car last time, it was small and cute, and the price shouldn't be too high..."

"A QQ car?" Carina Lau asked, somewhat puzzled.

After thinking about it, I suddenly remembered...

"Ah Jie, are you talking about that tiny car?"

"Tsk tsk, that won't do!"

Carina Lau adjusted her chair and comfortably reclined in it.

He spoke slowly.

"Ah Jie, keep up the good work! When you achieve something, I'll buy you a car like this!"

"Huh?" Ma Junjie was dumbfounded, thinking for a moment that he had misheard.

Carina Lau did not look at Ma Junjie.

He continued speaking slowly.

"Ah Jie, I told you before, if you want to get rich, I'll help you..."

"But this can't be rushed. For now, you should learn to drive first!"

Ma Junjie stared at Carina Lau, his heart pounding with excitement.

he thought,

Carina Lau has already helped herself get a promotion and a raise.

But judging from what Carina Lau just said...

It seems like they want to earn even more money for themselves?

This gave Ma Junjie a moment of reverie.

What exactly does Carina Lau mean?

Just then, Carina Lau suddenly spoke up.

"Hey, Ah Jie, are you going to drive or not?"

Ma Junjie responded with "Oh, oh."

"Open it, open it right now!"

"Let me test the gears first. If there are no problems, it should be able to drive soon!"

Carina Lau looked very relieved after hearing this.

"Come on, just go slow at first!"

"To be honest, I bought a car without getting a driver's license, and I still drive it around!"

"You're a man, you're definitely much stronger than me!"

Ma Junjie stopped talking.

As Carina Lau had previously mentioned, she somewhat awkwardly shifted into Drive (D) mode.

Then release the brake and slowly press the accelerator.

Suddenly, the car started to move.

Ma Junjie was somewhat excited and shouted,

"Sister Liu, it's open! It's open!"

Carina Lau looked up, glanced outside, and said with a hint of disdain.

The next second, he lay down again, muttering...

"You can go even faster!"

"At that speed, even an old lady can't go faster than you!"

Ma Junjie gave an awkward smile, then stopped smiling.

But inside, I was overjoyed.

He drove the car himself.

This feeling is like a dream coming true.

For some reason, an idea suddenly popped into his head.

If you were driving home in a car right now,

Pick up his older brother, and then take a drive around the village.

That feeling, you'd feel like you could fly, bringing glory to your ancestors!

Thinking like this,

Ma Junjie got a little excited and stepped on the gas.

Then he turned his head and looked at Carina Lau again.

He saw Carina Lau resting with her eyes closed.

Ma Junjie smiled.

He was genuinely grateful for Carina Lau's trust in him.

He slowly turned his head.

Suddenly, a large rock appeared in the middle of the road.

"Oh no!"

Ma Junjie shouted loudly, then made a sharp turn.

However, it was still too late.

With a loud "bang",

Ma Junjie then heard a rumbling sound.

The car jolted violently.

After a while, Ma Junjie slammed on the brakes, and the car finally stopped.

"Holy crap, we're doomed!"

Ma Junjie panicked and turned his head to look at Liu Jialing beside him.

"Sister Liu, are you alright? Are you alright?"

Carina Lau was thrown out by the impact of the car, but thankfully she was wearing a seatbelt.

His head hit the dashboard inside the car. He was rubbing his head, looking down, and groaning, "Ouch, ouch."

Ma Junjie was terrified.

"Sister Liu, don't scare me, are you...are you alright?"

Carina Lau rubbed her head vigorously, then slowly lowered her hand.

"Ah Jie, I'm fine..."

Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking further up at Carina Lau's head, one could see a red mark on her forehead.

Ma Junjie felt guilty.

"Sister Liu, I'm sorry, I..."

Carina Lau waved her hand.

"It's okay, it's normal to bump and scrape along when you're a new driver!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie immediately remembered...

By the way, how's the car?

He pushed open the door, got out of the car, ran to the front of the car, and took a look.

Good heavens, there's a huge dent in the front fender!

Ma Junjie looked worried and became even more frustrated.

At this moment, Carina Lau walked over and glanced at the front of the car.

Ma Junjie quickly apologized.

"Sister Liu, I'm so sorry, I wrecked your car..."

"This repair will definitely cost several hundred yuan, right?"

"Sister Liu, how much is it? I'll pay you back!"

Carina Lau didn't care at all.

Instead, he laughed.

"Ah Jie, your reaction time is pretty quick! Even driving that fast, it only got this small scratch!"

"It's okay, don't feel guilty. I was the one who told you to drive faster. I'll just go back and file an insurance claim to get it fixed!"

Ma Junjie still felt bad and looked depressed.

Carina Lau glanced at Ma Junjie.

Knowing his thoughts,

She slowly approached Ma Junjie, then suddenly said mysteriously.

"Ah Jie, how about this?"

"If you do me a favor, this matter will be considered settled!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie was taken aback and asked in confusion,

"Sister Liu...why...what kind of help are you in?"

"Tell me, I'll agree to anything you say!"
