Chapter Seventy: Arrogant in Front, Polite in Back

  (I finally made it to the top 5 in the third update, and my ranking also surged to fifth place. It seems that I'm not far off from the fourth-placed Saladin, but I've never been able to compare with a great god like him. This time, although he's got a new book out, I still strongly recommend it - compared to his, mine is really lacking in quality, but at least there's some hope. If everyone can satisfy my small vanity and burst Saladin's chrysanthemum, I'll be thrilled too)

  At this time, the face of that credit officer was extremely ugly. How did these two people suddenly get in touch with the director? Moreover, from the director's attitude, they were very polite to these two people, completely unlike the usual attitude of asking the director for help through connections. They must be quite close relatives, and yet he had deliberately made things difficult for them earlier, and even smashed the gift they had brought. This was truly a case of self-inflicted suffering.

  "This... the cigarettes I just bought are no good, take a look at this one." Liu Dacheng still didn't know that he had already changed in the eyes of the credit officer, and took the newly purchased cigarettes from Liu Yifei's hand with a smile.

  The loan officer's expression was even more wonderful, and he hurried over from behind the table, saying: "Uncle, look at you, you completely misunderstood me. I didn't want your cigarette earlier, not because I thought it was bad, but because I thought you shouldn't give me a cigarette. Come on, quickly give me your things, and I'll go take care of the loan for you right away. Before we close today, I'll make sure you get the loan."

  Liu Dacheng was taken aback, never expecting the loan officer to change so much, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

  Liu Yifei just wanted to get the loan done as soon as possible, and there was no need to bother with someone like that. Besides, since the other party and Qian Liansheng were from the same unit, even if they had found trouble for this credit officer, they couldn't do anything to him, at most just criticize him a couple of sentences. At this point, he simply said: "That's all the trouble."

  The loan officer then poured a cup of tea for each of them, and took out a box of good cigarettes, saying: "Uncle, young brother, you sit here, I'll go to handle it, I'll be back soon, just give me the procedures."

  Liu Dacheng was rarely so respected by others, especially when he asked someone for a favor, that feeling made him feel like he had gone from hell to heaven in an instant.

  After the loan officer ran out to handle the loan, Liu Da Cheng finally came back to his senses and said: "Yi Fei, what's going on?"

  "Hmm... wait till I turn around and talk to you again, I still have to go back to class now." Liu Yifei chuckled and quickly slipped away, going with his father to explain for the time being, but it was hard to explain at that moment, so he might as well wait until they got home to talk slowly.

  He went to Qian Liansheng's office and greeted him, Qian Liansheng was also very polite and exchanged pleasantries with Liu Yifei, and even personally escorted Liu Yifei downstairs. This made the bank employees who witnessed this scene secretly amazed. Although Qian Liansheng's position in the bank was not particularly high, he had a powerful background of a big brother-in-law, which gave him a relatively high status within the bank. It was rare to see him take the initiative to send someone off, and that person was just a high school student.

  The loan officer also saw this scene at this time, and couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart. He had been so careful, how did he end up getting scolded by his superior? Fortunately, the old man was still sincere, and after finishing the business, he must have a good talk with him to explain things clearly, hoping to resolve the matter peacefully.

  Liu Yifei hailed a taxi as soon as he went out, at that time there were not many cars on the road, and taxis were not many, besides, the starting price was 10 yuan, which was not affordable for ordinary people.

  "Where is the little brother going?" The driver was a man in his forties, wearing a white cotton T-shirt and gray canvas shorts, looking at Liu Yifei with a sideways smile.

  This uncle looks like he has a good temper, just the kind of person Liu Yifei wants to find, and immediately smiles and says: "I'm going to Fourth High School."

  "Alright." The driver started the car, his hands and feet moving quickly, clearly an experienced driver.

  "Master, your car is well maintained! It's clean, quiet and sounds good."

  "Humph, I just like cars. Moreover, this car is my livelihood, how can I not take good care of it? You think my car isn't clean this time, so you won't ride with me next time?" The driver was indeed talkative, and as soon as Liu Yifei spoke up, he immediately picked up the conversation.

  "Driving this taxi must be very profitable?"

  "It's okay, just a couple of hundred yuan a day." The driver apparently thought it was no big deal to mention this to a high school student and casually responded with a sentence.

  Liu Yifei's heart skipped a beat, two or three hundred, now the taxi is making so much money, even if you calculate it as 200, deducting the daily fuel cost and adding some expenses, there will be at least 100 yuan in pure profit. Moreover, the current taxi costs are also extremely low, and adding 200 is still a conservative number. Making five or six hundred thousand a year by supporting a taxi is not a problem at all.

  Perhaps in the 21st century, earning this amount is not a big deal, but you have to know that it was in '94, and still in a small city like River Mouth, earning so much in a year absolutely counts as high income. And Liu Yifei wasn't just planning on raising one car, he was starting a taxi company. If he managed to get ten or twenty cars running, the annual income would definitely not be a small sum.

  "In the summer, there's less business, most people take pedicabs now, and I can only earn this much. If it were winter, it would be better, three to four hundred a day is not enough. On the third day of the new year, guess how much I earned in one day?" The driver seemed to be showing off a bit, smiling as he asked Liu Yifei."

  "How much did you pull?" Liu Yifei asked curiously.

  "Haha, that day I pulled over 900, and it was from morning till evening, didn't even leave the car at night, what a thrill!"

  "Nine hundred yuan, can it really pull that much?" Liu Yifei was indeed greatly surprised.

  "Of course, but it's just during the Chinese New Year that I earn more. In winter, it's not a problem to pull in 400-500 yuan per day, but if I only drive during the day, I won't be able to make that much."

  "That uncle of yours is really capable of earning money." Liu Yifei sincerely praised.

  "Hmm... I didn't expect it either, but this car depreciates quickly. I bought this car for 50,000 yuan last year, and now it's already dropped to 40,000 yuan. And sometimes we still need to repair the car, so it's not like we can make that much money every day. But at least it's enough to support our family now."

  At this time, the car stopped in front of the gate of No. 4 High School. Liu Yifei said thank you and gave the driver 10 yuan before getting off the bus. In his heart, he was very pleased to see that his idea was quite promising. After rebirth, he had given him too many opportunities. As long as he grasped one or two casually, he would be able to enjoy endless benefits. However, this was not suitable for him, but it was extremely suitable for his father. Liu Yifei had already made up his mind to get things done.
