Chapter 20 It’s not easy to do physical work
In order to dispel Dongdong’s concerns, Chen Xi planned to take him to practice. He might not have driven a manual car for a long time, so he was a bit unfamiliar.
In the dead of night, the three of them came to Mooroolbark, the district where they once attended high school.
This place is sparsely populated, almost close to the edge of Mo Village, and the surrounding mountains make its terrain even more complex.
This is the perfect place for them to practice their skills.
"Put on the brakes, you are asking me to be reborn again." On a small slope, Chen Xi shouted anxiously, trying to direct Dongdong to take action.
Unfortunately, the car stalled on the slope just now, and now it started to roll backwards.
According to the inclination of this slope, the speed of retreat must be exaggeratedly fast.
If a car comes from behind, I guess I will be reborn again.
“I’m just saying this manual transmission doesn’t work.” Dongdong complained.
"Basically all vans nowadays have manual transmissions. Where can I get you automatic transmissions?" Chen Xi shouted with his face flushed in anxiety.
"Okay, stop arguing, let me try, my hands are itchy." Xiao Ming stretched out his head to separate the two.
"You? Forget it."
Looking at Xiao Ming in the back row, Chen Xi clearly remembered his experience of almost dying at the gas station. When he thought of this, he His whole body trembled.
If the automatic transmission is driven like that, doesn’t the manual transmission turn into a self-destructing truck in an instant?
"You'll have to wait and see for a few months before talking." Chen Xi glanced at Xiao Ming in the rearview mirror and said.
"How many months? I think it's not difficult." Xiao Ming said, looking at the steering wheel and gear lever.
"Haha~"
Chen Xi laughed twice, but it was not easy to dampen the other party's enthusiasm. Looking at Xiao Ming's eagerness to try, he didn't know what to say.
In short, even if I kill him, I won’t let Xiao Ming drive.
After practicing for several hours, Dongdong gradually became more proficient, and the number of stalls on hill climbs also began to decrease.
At this rate, it will probably take less than a few days to fully master it.
Chen Xi nodded and expressed satisfaction. Gouzi’s driving skills were very high and he often raced with him on the M3 highway.
Then the three of us will take turns driving.
“What? You already bought a van?”
"Yes, I just received a sum of money."
"I would like to ask, can I join?"
"Of course, but the three of us bought this car... ”
In an empty classroom at Didi University.
When Gouzi heard Chen Xi say that he had bought a car, his mood was complicated and contradictory.
He originally planned to start a business together with the other party. However, after some exchanges, he suddenly became Chen Xi's employee.
Despite this, Gouzi doesn’t think this is a bad thing.
He did not contribute any money, and this idea was just a random idea. Whether he can make money is still unknown. Now that there was no risk, he naturally agreed.
Xiao Ming has already advertised on the forum, and the price is naturally cheaper than Guilao's regular moving company, even less than half the price. This will naturally attract many customers.
Originally, business can be carried out from the school, but the act of issuing small cards will definitely be noticed by the school, and in serious cases, you may even be arrested for questioning and investigation.
Therefore, he still chose a safe strategy, but he only had one car and could not take on too many jobs.
The first job came soon after. The customer was an international student. He came to the door because he saw that their prices were relatively low.
"I'm about to die. What the hell does this guy live in? It's killing me." "The house is full of foot stench..."
“My nose is useless.”
The first day of work was not easy, it could be said to be a nightmare for the four of them.
The environment of the shared house rented by the customer was unimaginably poor.
There were mountains of rubbish on the ground, and even the carpet was turned green. The level of filth was indescribable.
The scariest thing is those cabinets. This guy hasn’t washed his socks for who knows how many days. They are all piled up in the cabinets.
When Gouzi was moving the cupboard, he accidentally knocked over the drawer and the smelly socks inside fell on him. The smell almost made him die suddenly.
Chen Xi and the other three also felt bad. They were careless this time and did not bring masks.
Although I only made a hundred yuan from this job, and everyone received a small amount of money, everyone was happy.
Especially Dongdong and Xiao Ming, they have never started their own business.
Although the school arranged for them to experience working life in high school, this was completely different from the feeling of being their own boss.
In the next few days, they received orders one after another, but Chen Xi observed that the passion between Dongdong and Xiao Ming obviously began to fade.
"If you want to succeed, you must first go crazy, rush for money at all costs, fight to be rich for three generations, and work hard to not fail..."
When Chen Xi saw this, he stood up and brainwashed them, using a lot of brainwashing vocabulary from his previous life.
“My dad said that I can stay at home and be a rich second generation.” Xiao Ming moved his dad out again.
"Your idea is wrong. You have to rely on your own hands to work hard to get rich..." Chen Xi stretched out his index finger and shook it in the air.
After a while of his deception, the two regained their mentality.
"Is this your first day of work? Everything in my cabinet has been taken out." The customer, a student, said dissatisfiedly, pointing to some debris scattered on the floor.
"I thought those were unnecessary things. What do you have, do you still have the mineral water bottle?" Dongdong frowned and looked at the other party dissatisfied.
The empty water bottles, cardboard boxes and other debris scattered on the ground looked particularly unsightly.
He even began to wonder whether this person was a rag picker or an international student.
"Anyway, don't leave my things lying around. Move them all over here." The boy's face felt hot when Dongdong said that, and he immediately put on a customer-oriented attitude.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xi quickly gave Dongdong a wink, and then calmed down the storm.
“Damn it, I’m making so little money from him, but he really takes himself seriously? He’s obviously looking for trouble.”
After completing his first business, Dong Dong was so angry that he jumped up on the spot, waving his fists with a look of resentment on his face.
"Okay, okay, you are making money, how can you not avoid being a little aggrieved." When Chen Xi saw this, he could only persuade him kindly and try his best to comfort him.
He recalled the time when he lost all his money in the casino and wanted to change his ways and go deliver food. That was so sad.
The customer who delivered pizza for the first time was a girl, and the delivery address was a hospital.
At that time, Chen Xi delivered the meal to the address. After he rang the doorbell and explained the situation to the security guard, the security guard said that no one from outside was allowed in. He could only call the girl to come out and pick up the meal.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the other party did not come out, so he could only continue to call. However, the girl insisted that she was already at the door, but Chen Xi did not see the other party at all, and he thought it was him Wrong address.
After searching for about half an hour, the security guard let Chen Xi in because he felt sorry for him. After delivering the meal to the girl, he realized that the door he mentioned was the door to his room. .
After he went back to check, he found out that it was a hospital for treating mental problems. People after a serious illness are prone to problems,
After returning to the restaurant, the manager scolded him, while his colleagues comforted him. They had also delivered meals to that place before, and this kind of order was indeed more difficult to get.
At work, everyone often encounters various things that make people feel frustrated.
However, as a man in his thirties, Chen Xi has experienced many such difficulties.
Relatively speaking, Dongdong and Xiao Ming are just children, and it is understandable that they cannot understand these situations.
