Super Rich: It all started when I met a young woman in a sleeper car.

After checking the last item on the equipment list for the new store, Chen Xun tossed the form onto the coffee table.

"Alright, we've bought everything we needed. Now we just wait for delivery and installation." He leaned back. "What are your plans for this gap before opening? You three can't just lie around in the apartment all day, can you?"

Yang Xiaotao blinked: "I...I want to watch the show. I haven't had time to watch that 'XXX' show yet."

Lin Xinyue rolled her eyes at her: "That's all you're good for. If you ask me, you should take advantage of the free time and work on those new product posters in the store."

Li Qian didn't speak, she just looked at Chen Xun.

Chen Xun smiled: "I have a suggestion. The three of you, take this opportunity to get your driver's licenses."

The living room was quiet for two seconds.

"Huh?" Yang Xiaotao was the first to react, "Driver's license?"

"Yes." Chen Xun nodded. "With more stores in the future, it will be inconvenient to run errands, purchase goods, and handle other business without a car. We can't always rely on taxis or have me be their personal driver."

Lin Xinyue's eyes lit up: "Get a driver's license? That's great! I've wanted to learn for a long time! I just didn't have the money or the time before."

Yang Xiaotao hesitated a bit: "I...I'm a little afraid of cars. And driving lessons must be expensive, right?"

"You don't need to worry about the money," Chen Xun said. "I'll pay for the tuition. And—"

He paused, looking at the three women.

"If you all successfully obtain your driver's licenses, I'll give each of you a car."

"Wow!!!" Yang Xiaotao jumped up from the sofa. "Really, big brother? A car? What kind of car?"

Lin Xinyue was also shocked, her mouth agape: "Give...give a car? Chen Xun, what...what's the budget for this? Isn't that too extravagant?"

Li Qian wasn't as excited as the others. She looked at Chen Xun, her eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything.

Chen Xun waved his hand: "We'll talk about the car after we get the license. As for the budget, around 100,000 yuan for a commuter car is enough. Practicality is the main thing. What do you say, are you in?"

"I'll do it! I'll do it!" Yang Xiaotao nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice. "I'll learn! I'll definitely learn well!"

Lin Xinyue laughed too: "What else is there to say? Let's learn! Let me do the math. If I sign up now, and everything goes smoothly, I'll get my certificate in two months. The new store will be stable by then, so the timing is perfect."

Li Qian then softly said, "Okay."

Chen Xun laughed: "Then it's settled. I'll go to the driving school to register tomorrow."

The next day, the four of them went straight to the driving school registration point.

The coach who greeted us was a man in his forties. When he saw three young girls arrive, his eyes widened in surprise.

Especially when the coach saw Li Qian's face, his voice softened by eight degrees.

"Oh, three beautiful ladies here to learn to drive? Welcome, welcome! Don't worry, learning with me is guaranteed to teach you until you learn, and my attitude is absolutely excellent!"

Chen Xun watched the coach's obsequious manner and found it amusing.

Fill out the form, pay the fee, and have your photo taken.

When it was time to pay tuition, Chen Xun's phone rang.

It wasn't a phone call; it was a notification sound from the system in my head.

[Investment targets detected: Yang Xiaotao, Lin Xinyue, Li Qian]

[Investment Item: Motor Vehicle Driver Training Fees]

[Single Investment Amount: 4500 yuan]

[Target's Favorability Rating: Yang Xiaotao 85, Lin Xinyue 83, Li Qian 81]

[Trigger 10x Rebate]

[Critical hit rate calculation in progress... Critical hit failed]

[Total return on this investment: 135000 yuan, already credited to account]

Chen Xun swiped his card without changing his expression.

Thirteen thousand five hundred thousand, exchanged for one hundred and thirty-five thousand. This deal was a steal.

The key point is that the money was well spent. It triggered system rebates, solved the team's actual problems, and also did a good deed.

The instructor, holding the forms, smiled and said, "Alright, all the paperwork is done. First, take the theory test. Our driving school has classrooms for theory classes; classes start tomorrow. It would be best if you came to sit in."

Yang Xiaotao asked, "Do I have to come? Can't I just do my practice problems at home?"

"Come and listen," the coach said, glancing at the three girls. "With a teacher explaining, you'll remember it better. Besides... if you come together, you'll have company."

Chen Xun understood the coach's intentions perfectly well, and he said directly, "I'll come with them tomorrow."

The coach was taken aback: "Huh? You're going with me?"

"Yes," Chen Xun smiled, "Anyway, I'm just killing time, so I might as well sit in on their classes and supervise their studies."

The coach looked a little embarrassed: "Oh...that's fine too."

The classroom for the theory class was small, with more than twenty students seated inside.

Chen Xun and the three women sat in the back row. The teacher was explaining traffic signs, and many people below were dozing off.

Yang Xiaotao listened attentively and made notes in the book.

As Lin Xinyue listened, she was already making a driving lesson schedule in her phone's notes app.

"The earliest I can schedule my theory test (Subject 1) is next Wednesday... Then I'll practice for the driving test (Subject 2) for about two hours a day, and if all goes well, I'll take the test in two weeks... and then the driving test (Subject 3)..."

Li Qian looked out the window, lost in thought.

Chen Xun sat next to them, feeling a little strange.

A month ago, they met in a sleeper car on a train because of a bucket of instant noodles.

Now, they're actually sitting together in the driving school classroom, learning traffic regulations.

Life is truly absurd.

All three girls passed the written test on their first try.

Once we got to the driving range, the atmosphere changed completely.

Li Qian learned it the fastest.

After a few strokes of the steering wheel and some pointers from the instructor, she started driving quite skillfully. She practiced reversing into a parking space and parallel parking a few times, becoming incredibly steady.

The coach, standing nearby, kept praising, "Wow, this girl is talented! Her sense of the car is amazing! Look at how perfectly she's positioned on the line!"

Lin Xinyue is a cautious type.

I had to mentally rehearse each step several times to make sure everything was correct before I started. It was slow, but reliable, and rarely resulted in any mistakes like crossing the line.

As she practiced, she was mentally calculating: "At this pace, practicing two hours a day, I can schedule my driving test (Part 2) in ten days. Assuming a 70% pass rate, then..."

Yang Xiaotao is in a terrible situation.

She got nervous as soon as she got in the car.

"Steering wheel...turn left? How much? One full turn? One and a half turns? Oh no, I forgot!"

"Coach, coach! The car's veering off course! We're going to hit the pole!"

"Brake! Which one is the brake?!"

The instructor, sitting in the passenger seat, was patiently teaching at first, but his face turned almost green later.

"Girl, relax, relax! Don't grip the steering wheel so tightly, like it's your enemy!"

"That's the accelerator! Press it lightly!"

"Look in the rearview mirror! Look at the lines reflected in the mirror! Don't look at the mirror frame!"

Chen Xun stood in the shade by the field, watching, and couldn't help but laugh.

When Yang Xiaotao got out of the car, her face was flushed and she was almost crying.

"Big brother...am I too stupid? Why can't I drive well...?"

Chen Xun walked over and patted her on the shoulder: "Everyone is like this at first. Don't rush, take your time. Just remember one thing, driving isn't that mysterious, it's all about practice makes perfect. Practice a few more times, and you'll get the hang of it."

Yang Xiaotao looked up at him, her eyes sparkling: "Really?"

"Really," Chen Xun said. "Look at Li Qian, she wasn't born knowing how. She just has a stable mindset. The more nervous you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes. Next time before getting in the car, take a deep breath and tell yourself it's just a game. If you fail, you can start over. It's not a big deal."

"Mmm!" Yang Xiaotao nodded vigorously, seemingly feeling a bit better.

There are small restaurants near the driving school during lunch break.

The four of them ate something simple.

Chen Xun went to the counter to pay, and Li Qian followed him.

"Chen Xun," she called to him.

"Um?"

Li Qian looked at him and said in a low voice, "You agreed to give us the car... because you felt guilty?"

Chen Xun was taken aback: "Guilt? Guilt about what?"

Li Qian looked away: "It's...to the three of us."

Chen Xun understood.

He shook his head: "No. Don't overthink it."

He paused, then said very seriously, "I'm promising you cars because you're my business partners. The first store, from scratch to where it is now, is something you've built together. We're about to open a second store, and maybe a third, a fourth. The team needs to grow, and it needs rewards. The cars are a tool, but also recognition. It's that simple."

Li Qian stared at him for several seconds.

Then she softly hummed in agreement.

"I see."

I continued practicing driving in the afternoon.

Yang Xiaotao seemed to have relaxed a bit. Although she still made mistakes, she wasn't as flustered as she was in the morning.

Lin Xinyue is taking a steady and solid approach.

Li Qian can now start practicing driving on curved roads and making right-angle turns.

In the evening, on the way back.

Yang Xiaotao came back to life, excitedly clinging to the back of the driver's seat.

"Brother, you said you'd give us a car around 100,000 yuan, what models are available? I saw that new model from XX brand, it looks really nice, but it's a bit over budget... But it's okay, a cheaper one is fine too! I'll be happy as long as it has four wheels and can run!"

Lin Xinyue was looking up information on her phone: "There are quite a few choices for a commuter car around 100,000 yuan. Domestic brands like XX and XX, joint venture brands like XX... Fuel consumption and maintenance costs need to be considered. Let me make a comparison table."

Li Qian sat in the passenger seat, watching the street scenes rushing past the window.

He didn't say anything.

Chen Xun glanced at her in the rearview mirror as he drove.

He knew what she was thinking.

Some things don't need to be said too explicitly.

The car is a reward, a tool, and a bond.

But some things are more complicated and harder to handle than a car.
