Made 4 million, almost got slapped

The restaurant had two other designated drivers, both around forty years old.

One was named Wang, and the other Li.

During the evening rush hour, both Driver Wang and Master Li arrived.

Although they knew the restaurant was hiring designated drivers, they hadn't expected the new person to be such a young man.

After all, this kind of hard work was usually done by Middle-aged men; how could a young man endure such hardship?

However, neither of them chatted much with Xu Ning.

The three of them took jobs in order, so there was no need to compete.

Around 8 PM, guests who had been drinking began to leave one after another.

Driver Wang left first, and soon Master Li also departed.

Xu Ning felt a secret thrill, knowing that the next guest to call for a designated driver would be his.

A short while later, a Middle-aged Man approached the front desk, requesting a designated driver service.

"Hello, sir, at your service," Xu Ning greeted him with standard service etiquette.

The man nodded, tossed the keys to Xu Ning, and led Xu Ning out to find his car.

After giving the address, the Middle-aged Man sat in the back row and closed his eyes, and Xu Ning naturally wouldn't be so tactless as to chat with him.

Throughout the entire driving process, Xu Ning remained cautious.

After all, it was his first time; caution prevents major mistakes, and it was responsible for himself and for the client.

Upon reaching the destination, Xu Ning couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Sir, we have arrived at your specified location.

Are there any other questions?" Xu Ning asked, handing the car keys back to the man.

The Middle-aged Man shook his head, smiled, and thanked Xu Ning, not forgetting to hand Xu Ning 50 yuan.

Clearly, this Middle-aged Man was a regular customer of Lis Private Kitchen and knew the designated driver fee standard here.

50 yuan for all trips within the city before midnight, and 100 yuan for trips outside the city; after midnight, the corresponding fees doubled.

Xu Ning took the money and said thank you.

And just as he took the money, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Congratulations, Host, for diligently working and earning 40 yuan.

A hundred-thousand-fold increase rewards 4 million yuan."

He was inexplicably shocked, instantly stopping in his tracks, standing dumbfounded.

Perhaps before, he had been half-believing, half-doubting the system, but when the money truly arrived in his account, all doubt vanished.

Looking at the SMS notification on his phone, the huge bank transfer alert, everything felt like a dream.

He couldn't help but want to roar to vent the excitement in his heart at that moment!

After a long while, Xu Ning slowly calmed down, a slight curve forming at the corner of his mouth.

He hailed a taxi, preparing to rush back to Lis Private Kitchen to wait for the next job.

Normal designated drivers would prepare a foldable electric scooter for transportation; otherwise, how would you get back after dropping off a guest?

Xu Ning hadn't prepared one; after all, with the system's hundred-thousand-fold increase reward, he wouldn't care about taxi fare.

What was interesting was that when he returned to Lis Private Kitchen, the other two designated drivers hadn't returned from dropping off guests yet.

This meant there was no need to follow the order; if there was a guest now, they couldn't possibly make the guest wait for them to return.

Coincidentally, a table of young girls finished their meal and also came to the cashier to find a designated driver.

"Wow!"

"The designated driver is so handsome!"

"Why didn't I drive out today?If I had known there was such a handsome designated driver, I would have driven too!"

"Weiwei is so lucky!"

"Tomorrow, you must tell us if anything happened between you two tonight!"

The young girls, already a bit excited from drinking, their eyes lit up when they saw Xu Ning, and they chattered excitedly.

Xu Ning smiled professionally, not paying much attention.

The car belonged to the girl named Weiwei, but she seemed a bit drunk at this point, needing her sisters to help her walk.

If it were anyone else, they would probably be distracted by now.

But Xu Ning wasn't at all, as he had a girlfriend.

His concern was, since she was so drunk, how would she pay him the designated driver fee later?

The distance wasn't far; after about ten minutes, they arrived at the Residential Complex where the girl lived.

"Ma'am, we've reached your destination!"

Xu Ning turned his head and just opened his mouth when he saw the girl had already fallen asleep.

He couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly; sure enough, his biggest fear had come true.

"Ma'am, we're here!" Xu Ning raised his voice, trying to wake her.

The girl groggily opened her eyes, her gaze unfocused, clearly not very sober yet.

Xu Ning sighed, thought for a moment, and tried asking, "Which building do you live in?I'll take you home!"

The girl heard him, reacted for a long time, and then gave Xu Ning a muddled answer.

This time, Xu Ning breathed a sigh of relief; a specific apartment number was good, at least he could get her home.

He helped the girl out of the car, locked the car, and then helped her walk towards her home.

Fortunately, there was an elevator, so he didn't need to climb stairs, otherwise Xu Ning really couldn't have managed.

He pressed the doorbell, and the door opened quickly.

A Middle-aged woman opened the door, grumbling loudly as she did so.

"So late again!"

"Where did you go wild?"

"You're so much trouble!"

"You should be looking for a partner, but all you do is play all day!"

However, when she saw her daughter being helped back by a boy, her expression instantly changed.

"Oh!Come in!Come in!"

The girl's mother instantly changed her expression, smiling broadly as she greeted Xu Ning, then helped her daughter onto the sofa.

Xu Ning was about to ask for the designated driver fee and then leave, but unexpectedly, the girl's mother forcefully pulled him to sit on the sofa as well.

"Young man, sit down!I'll pour you a glass of water!"

Her enthusiasm made Xu Ning feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Auntie, I..."

Before he could finish his awkward sentence, a glass of water was already in his hand.

Xu Ning could only say thank you.

"How old are you, young man?" the girl's mother asked with concern, "Where are you from?How many people are in your family?"

Xu Ning's expression stiffened, thinking, I'm just a designated driver, do you really need to dig so deep?

But seeing the woman's demeanor, he knew he wouldn't be able to leave without explaining himself.

So he could only answer honestly.

"Auntie, I'm 23 this year, and I'm a local.

But there's no one else in my family, just a girlfriend, who is my current university classmate."

However, to Xu Ning's surprise, upon hearing his answer, the girl's mother visibly flew into a rage, fuming with anger.

She stood up abruptly and reached out to slap Xu Ning's face.

If that hit connected, the slap would be deafening.

Xu Ning reacted quickly, blocking it with his hand in a flash.

Is she crazy?

She's resorting to violence at the slightest disagreement!

Besides, there was no disagreement; you asked, I answered, and I didn't say anything offensive.

Does this Middle-aged woman have some kind of mental illness?

"What are you doing?"

After blocking the first strike, Xu Ning quickly jumped back two steps, watching her warily, demanding angrily and confusedly.

At this point, the Middle-aged woman was even more furious, putting her hands on her hips and pointing at Xu Ning as she started to curse.

"You bastard!"

"You little brat!"

"You already have a girlfriend and you're still trying to hook up with my daughter!"

"Do you believe I'll beat you to death!"

Her furious expression made it seem as if she genuinely wished she could devour Xu Ning alive...
