Being stalked? Test!
After waiting for a while, the third order of the evening came.
As he was leaving, Xu Ning looked at the four tables of customers remaining in the restaurant and felt that if he went quickly and returned quickly, he might still have a chance to get the fourth order tonight.
The previous two days, he only had three orders each night.
The car owner was a Middle-aged Man nearing 50, with a strong aura, clearly a successful person.
His car, an Audi A8, probably proved this point.
"Hello, sir, at your service."
"What is your destination?"
After the polite greeting, Xu Ning asked while adjusting the seat.
The car owner sat in the back, opened the window a little, and gazed out, his expression quite profound.
"No destination, just drive wherever!"
Hearing the car owner's words, Xu Ning's movements paused involuntarily.
Drive wherever?
What kind of bizarre request was this?
He gently turned his head to look at the car owner, who didn't seem drunk, so why was he talking nonsense?
"Sir, this..."
The car owner turned his head to look at Xu Ning, a faint smile on his face.
"I'm not in a hurry to go home. Just drive me around for a bit."
"I'll sober up and enjoy the city's night view."
"Don't worry, I won't shortchange you on theDesignated driver fee."
Hearing this, Xu Ning suddenly understood and vaguely had a guess.
It was like the saying that a Middle-aged Man's most relaxing moment of the day is when he parks his car downstairs at home and sits quietly in the car for a while.
He had pressure at work and pressure at home; only this moment belonged to him.
It seemed to be the case here too; even if you were a successful person, you still couldn't escape worries and pressure, so you had to relieve stress by looking at the city's night view in the dead of night!
Men, it's not easy for any of them!
"Then I'll drive along Riverside Road for a bit; the night view by the river is quite nice."
Xu Ning said, starting the car.
He drove skillfully and effortlessly, and because there was no specific destination, he maintained the most appropriate speed, allowing the car owner to better experience the night view.
Ahead, they still had to pass an elevated road; after getting off it, they could enter Riverside Road.
But just then, Xu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly.
It was late at night, and although there were still cars on the road, it was much quieter than the usual bustling streets.
Even if there were cars, they sped by, hurrying on their way.
But at this moment, he noticed something was wrong.
There was a car behind them, following at a constant distance, neither too close nor too far.
When they first left the restaurant, Xu Ning hadn't noticed, but after driving for a while, he became aware of the car following them.
They had passed many intersections, and Xu Ning even deliberately chose a few to turn at.
But that car always maintained its distance and followed behind.
After several attempts, Xu Ning finally confirmed it.
Without a doubt, they were being watched.
It couldn't be for him, so it must be for the car owner.
Xu Ning turned to glance at the car owner, finding him still with that profound expression, silently looking out the window, as if the wind sweeping past the window could carry away the alcohol and all worries.
Did he know he was being watched?
They couldn't go onto Riverside Road. Riverside Road ran along the river and was not a main road; at this time, almost no cars would be using it.
Wouldn't such a secluded place be the best spot for an ambush?
So Xu Ning decided not to take Riverside Road; he couldn't put himself in danger.
He couldn't even take the car owner home now, otherwise, what if the people behind them acted as soon as he got out of the car?
At this moment, Xu Ning even had an impulse to call the Police Station directly.
"Sir, I need to tell you something; please stay calm first."
"There's a car behind us that's been following us for a long time."
"I've tried a few times, but I haven't been able to shake them off. It's highly likely they're after you."
"For your safety, I'm going to drive to the nearest Police Station now."
"Or do you have any good ideas?"
Xu Ning took a deep breath, lowering his voice.
The car owner in the back turned his head, looked at Xu Ning through the rearview mirror, and smiled.
"I know someone is following us."
"They're not bad people; they're a potential business partner of mine."
"They're following me now to ensure I get home safely."
"And my telling you to drive wherever was also to test their sincerity."
"The longer they can follow, the more sincere and reliable they are."
"A true partner isn't about how much money they can help you make, but about whether they are truly reliable."
Xu Ning first breathed a sigh of relief, glad it wasn't dangerous.
Then, he was a bit at a loss for words, feeling both absurd and inexplicable.
Using this method to test a partner's sincerity?
So, if they didn't follow you to ensure you got home safely, you wouldn't cooperate with them?
In the middle of the night, following for several hours—how humble must that be!
He felt a sudden surge of emotion, grateful he had the system; otherwise, if he encountered a similar situation, he wouldn't have any qualifications to cooperate with him.
He didn't want to say anything more, just kept driving aimlessly within the Third Ring Road.
He was getting sleepy.
If it weren't for the car running almost out of gas and the car owner telling him to stop, he probably could have driven until dawn.
Xu Ning didn't know if the partner following behind ultimately gained anything, but he certainly did.
Regardless of how successful people test their partners, at least he wasn't stingy with theDesignated driver fee.
After driving for nearly four hours, he gave Xu Ning five hundred yuan for theDesignated driver service.
"[Congratulations to the host for working hard and earning 490 yuan, a 100,000-fold increase rewards 49 million yuan]"
This money was hard-earned, but he couldn't hide his excitement when he received it.
400 + 900 + 4900 = 6200.
On the third day ofDesignated driver, he earned a total of 62 million yuan.
Although not as exaggerated as the 72 million yuan on the first day, it was almost double yesterday's earnings.
At this hour, the dorm supervisor would obviously not open the door for him, so Xu Ning simply found the nearest hotel and booked a room.
He fell asleep immediately!
By the time he woke up again, it was almost noon, just in time for lunch.
He went downstairs to check out, then found a fast-food restaurant to fill his stomach first.
While eating, following yesterday's idea, Xu Ning took action.
The system had a very practical function.
Whatever Xu Ning wanted to buy, he didn't need to operate it himself in reality; the system could handle it for him.
Just like that Koenigsegg One.
Otherwise, in reality, even if Xu Ning had enough money, he might not be able to buy this top-tier limited edition supercar.
And this time, Xu Ning set his sights on Lis Private Kitchen.
Money in a bank card was just a number; it was only his when spent.
He was currently working as an in-houseDesignated driver at Lis Private Kitchen every day, so he naturally knew how Lis Private Kitchen was doing.
He couldn't say it was packed every day, but there were enough customers to support the business, especially on weekends, when there would definitely be a wait.
Even if Xu Ning didn't have the exact revenue data, he estimated that the monthly profit was definitely over a million.
Converting asset numbers into stable income was quite good.
