Chapter 62 Years Ago(1/2)
After Ruan Qiao became familiar with the driving practice mode, she no longer asked Lin Zhan to accompany her.
It was boring for him to wait outside, so Ruan Qiao was about to finish practicing before sending a message to tell him to go out.
I don’t know if it’s because Ruan Qiao is smart, she is beautiful, or she often brings water and smoke, but the coach’s attitude towards her is pretty good. She helped her apply for the exam very early and gave her more time to practice.
Of course, Ruan Qiao is also the first person to report to the driving school every day.
In just one and a half weeks, Ruan Qiao successfully practiced many of the contents of subject 2.
In addition to the difficulty of starting uphill, she has already grasped the difficulty of reversing and entering the garage. It is natural that parking is no problem at the right angle of the S Road.
Ruan Qiao took the second subject to the weekend.
The driving test center issued a notice that the time for this batch of tests was eleven o'clock, but she couldn't sleep and wanted to go to see someone else's exam early.
However, as soon as she arrived at the examination room, she realized that she had not taken the exam at the notification time at all. When people came, they directly handed in their ID card to enter.
Ruan Qiao sat down for less than half an hour, and it was her turn to take the exam.

When Lin Zhan received the call from Ruan Qiao, he had not woken up much. He looked at the time and it was only 9:30.
His voice was lazy and he comforted Ruan Qiao in a low voice: "Don't be nervous, you have practiced well, just relax your mindset, it doesn't matter if you fail the exam, I..."
Before Lin Zhan could finish his words, Ruan Qiao interrupted him.
"Lin Zhan, I passed the exam."
...
He took his phone and looked at it, it was really nine-thirty.
***
The two made an appointment to have lunch together. Ruan Qiao was bored and agreed to Lin Zhan to take a walk in the mall first.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, there are many discount activities in the mall. Ruan Qiao thought it would be nice to pick a coat, but then she thought, um... she hadn't bought much clothes for Lin Zhan, so she had the idea of buying clothes for Lin Zhan again.
She usually doesn't work to make money, but her family's living expenses are quite abundant. It's almost the Chinese New Year, and she still has a lot of pocket money left.
Ruan Qiaoxin was a little bleeding when buying a casual jacket from the brand that Lin Zhan often wore. But Lin Zhan really paid her a lot of money. If Ruan Qiao rushed to pay for the bill, he would show off his face. The most common thing he said was that men should do whatever they should do.
Ruan Qiao felt...he was a bit macho.
After buying Lin Zhan's clothes, he hadn't arrived yet, Ruan Qiao leisurely walked into the women's clothing store.
This is also a Japanese brand that she likes to buy winter clothes. It is not cheap. Song Mingzhao is reimbursed on weekdays, but today the money she has left is probably enough to treat Lin Zhan to a big meal.
Unfortunately, as soon as she entered the store, she took a fancy to a small smoke-gray cotton-padded jacket.
In fact, she prefers the fresh and literary style, but Lin Zhan likes her soft-skinned style very much, well...
After she tried it, she asked about the price.
After hearing the price, she silently put the clothes back. She should buy them when she went out with Song Mingzhao.
When she put down her clothes, a man and a woman behind her shouted to her, "Ruan Qiao!"
Ruan Qiao turned her head and was stunned for a moment.
The boy is Yang Ziyue, and the girl is also her high school classmate, but she is not very familiar with her, so she is called Chen Xiaoyi.
Ruan Qiao's eyes fell on the hands of the two of them. Yang Ziyue was a little unnatural. She let go of Chen Xiaoyi's hand, giving people a feeling of guilt.
Yang Ziyue spoke: "That..."
Ruan Qiao didn't think much about it at all, and greeted the two of them with a smile, "Yang Ziyue, Chen Xiaoyi, you guys are here to go shopping, too."
Chen Xiaoyi smiled, but took Yang Ziyue's hand without hesitation.
Chen Xiaoyi was also present at the class reunion before, and she also saw Yang Ziyue's inexplicable enthusiasm for Ruan Qiao.
Chen Xiaoyi pointed to the cigarette pink cotton jacket that Ruan Qiao had just hung back and said to Yang Ziyue: "I think this dress is good, what do you think." As she said that, she looked at Ruan Qiao again and asked, "Ruan Qiao, how do you think I'm wearing this dress?"
Ruan Qiao nodded, "It's pretty good."
Although she was sure that these two people had just seen their own price and putting back their clothes, the clothes were not limited editions, and there was no reason not to let others buy them if they didn't buy them.
Chen Xiaoyi took off the clothes and looked at the tag again, "It's more than three thousand, and a cotton jacket is not expensive, so why not buy this one."
Yang Ziyue felt a little embarrassed: "You haven't tried it yet, maybe the upper body effect is not as good as you imagined."
Chen Xiaoyi said again: "I'm too lazy to try it. If you don't like it, just say it if you buy it, it's okay to give it to any relative, but it's not expensive anyway."
Ruan Qiao was not stupid either, and realized Chen Xiaoyi's inexplicable hostility.
At this moment, another voice suddenly came from behind, "Why did you tell the wrong store name? I searched for you after searching."
Ruan Qiao subconsciously wanted to turn around when she heard the familiar male voice, but Lin Zhan had already walked up and hugged her shoulders.
"You just want to buy this one, right?" He looked up and called the waiter, "Hello, please help me wrap this dress, just size S."
Ruan Qiao was completely confused. She wanted to speak, "I..."
But Lin Zhan quickly sent her a look of shutting up, and his hands were pinching on her shoulders.
Lin Zhan seemed to have seen Yang Ziyue and Chen Xiaoyi just now, and asked casually: "Your classmate."
Ruan Qiao nodded.
Lin Zhan just nodded casually to say hello to them. After paying the bill, he hugged Ruan Qiao and planned to go out, but suddenly stopped at Chen Xiaoyi. He glanced at the clothes in Chen Xiaoyi's hand and asked, "Do you want to buy this one too?"
Chen Xiaoyi rarely sees such a handsome boy, and she is a little stunned.
Lin Zhan didn't plan to wait for her to reply, but turned to look at Ruan Qiao and said to her: "What does it mean online? It's not embarrassing to wear the same clothes, whoever is ugly is embarrassing. Persimmon sister, you must be the best-looking whatever you wear."
Ruan Qiao looked up at him and happened to catch the evil taste in his eyes. The goose bumps aroused by his last sentence became more and more intense.
After leaving the store, Ruan Qiao asked, "When did you come?"
Lin Zhan was still talking lazily: "Just before they entered the store, I wanted to come in to find you, but I happened to see that man."
"So you deliberately don't come in, listen to the corner of the wall."
Lin Zhan sneered: "What a corner of the wall? That woman has such a loud voice, for fear that the whole world will not know that she is rich, so I need to listen to it deliberately."
Lin Zhan is really not giving people any face when he hurts others.
After a while, Ruan Qiao's cell phone rang.
When Ruan Qiao saw the caller ID, she felt a little overwhelmed. She raised it to Lin Zhan and showed it to her. The name on the caller ID was Yang Ziyue.
Lin Zhan didn't react much, "I must have apologized to you, believe it or not?"
Ruan Qiao was skeptical and pressed the call button. Sure enough, the first sentence from the other end was: "Ruan Qiao, I'm sorry."
She gave Lin Zhan a thumbs up, then politely said a few casual words to Yang Ziyue and ended the call.
Ruan Qiao had just hung up the phone and heard Lin Zhan say, "That woman's double commerce is really not very good. She knows that her boyfriend likes you, but she is just a spare tire, and she still has to do such an annoying behavior." After that, he shook his head.
Ruan Qiao was happy and turned to see Lin Zhan: "When did you become an emotional expert?"
Lin Zhan pinched her face, "Isn't this common sense?"
Ruan Qiao's face was soft and tender, and the touch was very good. He couldn't help but squeeze it twice, "What's the point of my girlfriend being so cute?"
"I remember someone said last time...I don't know if I dare to cheat."
Lin Zhan began to pretend to have amnesia: "Is there any? Who said it?"
Ruan Qiao: “…”
***
In order to celebrate the successful second year of the subject, Ruan Qiao invited Lin Zhan to eat a seafood pot.
When the food was served, Ruan Qiao gave Lin Zhan the clothes, and Lin Zhan also had something for Ruan Qiao.
A long paper gift box.
Ruan Qiao was a little curious, and when she pulled it out, it turned out to be three rolls of tape.
She picked it up and looked carefully. She printed the brand of glutinous rice on the round mark, and also printed the illustrator Chaotianjiao.
Inexplicable sense of joy.
"This is the one you painted for Nuomi and their family."
Lin Zhan nodded: "The express delivery came yesterday, and I sent five volumes of samples to me each. Your friend said that it was going to be issued a long time ago, but the construction period in Taiwan was delayed. They made it directly in stock, not pre-sale."
Ruan Qiao had the habit of carrying a manual book with her. She immediately took out the notebook, took the tape apart, and took a look.
The three volumes painted by Lin Zhan use special ink technology and the colors are particularly beautiful. The two volumes are the watercolor mixing that Lin Zhan is best at, and the other volume is a line painting with a very personal characteristics.
Judging from Ruan Qiao's perspective, these three volumes must be released in a short time, and she didn't read Nuomi in advance at all. This is a big deal to start a sprint battle.
The two of them chatted about drawing the manuscript again. Lin Zhan said that the manuscript fee given by Nuomi was very high, but he suddenly paused. Ruan Qiao looked at him and then he spoke: "I don't want to draw tape for others."
He suddenly said this, Ruan Qiao was confused.
Lin Zhan explained: "Your tape circles are now flooded, but there are not many excellent painters, and the production process can be said to be very transparent. There are only a few manufacturers that have been produced, and the price is clearly marked. In fact, the painters can be picked out independently, eliminating the brand's link. I think many painters do this."
"Of course, if the painter does it alone, you will have to bear the risk of oversupply and accumulate goods. At the same time, you also have to operate Weibo, make promotional pictures, and maintain friendly relations with bloggers of major manual accounts. However, the latter one is easy to solve, just hire someone. The tape circle is better solved on the previous point, because the spot model is much lower than the pre-sale model, and there is almost no cost risk in pre-sale."
