If you cut in, you will get hit. Do you call this a driving school instructor?

Chapter 47: Being Praised to Death

The etiquette of Shandong people is ingrained in their bones. If you go out to eat and drink with friends and happen to meet other friends, then that friend will most likely invite you to eat with them. At the very least, you have to come over to toast them and say a few polite words.

It's just like when Gu Yin meets Tong Liang now. They haven't seen each other for so many years, and their relationship wasn't that good before, but now Tong Liang seems to be closer to Gu Yin than to his biological father. He puts his arm around Gu Yin's shoulder and even pries into Gu Yin's privacy in various ways.

"Gu Yin, what are you doing now?" Tong Liang, who was dressed like a successful person in a white shirt, looked at Gu Yin with curiosity and said, "I remember seeing you posting on WeChat Moments two years ago. It seemed like you were racing."

When he asked the first question, Gu Yin's expression was quite normal. He was quite honored to be a motor vehicle instructor. There was nothing wrong with introducing his profession. We were all workers trying to make a living. There was no question of who was higher or lower in social class...

But when he asked the second question, Gu Yin didn't know how to answer for a moment.

I feel like I'm being praised to death.

Thinking carefully about my circle of friends, it seems that I haven't shared any updates since I came back from Beijing that year. It is normal that my friends still have the impression of me that time.

"I haven't driven for a long time." He took the water cup and took a sip. While hiding his embarrassment, Gu Yin avoided his gaze and said with a stiff upper lip: "I'm teaching driving now at Chuanda Driving School, the one in ** Village west of our school..."

"Teaching you how to drive?" Tong Liang seemed a little surprised when he heard this. He exchanged a glance with Jiang Yun and said with regret, "I thought you were still racing. Take us to a deserted road one day and let us experience the speed and passion."

In response, Gu Yin smiled calmly: "Safety is the most important thing when driving on the road. Don't speed if you can avoid it."

"Haha, you're right." Tong Liang nodded nonchalantly, pointed at Gu Yin and said to Jiang Yun: "Look at Gu Yin, this is the awareness of a motor vehicle instructor!"

"That's enough." Jiang Yun seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, and frowned as she asked, "Do you want to eat or not?"

"Eat, eat, eat." Tong Liang nodded, but he didn't rush to call the waiter. Instead, he asked Gu Yin: "Gu Yin, where is your partner? He went to the bathroom and hasn't come back yet? Do you want to eat together?"

"This..." Gu Yin was a little embarrassed for a moment.

He didn't mind. Although he wasn't very familiar with Tong Liang, there was nothing wrong with having a meal together. But Xia Qianyi was a female star after all, and she didn't know Tong Liang and the others. It wasn't appropriate for them to have a meal together, right?

Originally, Xia Qianyi invited me to dinner today, and I had no choice. If I asked her to accommodate me and have dinner with my friends, it would be a bit too much.

"What? Inconvenient?" Jiang Yun obviously saw Gu Yin's embarrassment. Although this girl didn't have a very good reputation during school, she actually had a good relationship with people. She had always been good at dealing with people. Tong Liangzhao was far behind her in this respect.

She gave Gu Yin a way out, so he naturally wanted to step down. But before Gu Yin could open his mouth, Tong Liang beside him waved his hand and said, "Oh, what's the inconvenience? We finally met once after so many years, so what's wrong with having a meal together? Gu Yin will definitely not refuse, right Gu Yin?"

Having said that, this idiot actually asked Gu Yin...

"Ha..." Gu Yin didn't know what to say for a moment.

By the way, in Gu Yin's impression, although Tong Liang was not a good student during his school days, he always had the image of a silly and honest man. But why does he look so arrogant now that no one knows his last name?
There is a sense of superiority in every gesture, and I don't know where it comes from...

After chatting for a while, Gu Yin found out that the boy's family had been demolished two years ago. His family had a yard in a village in the suburbs. Two years ago, the city was building a high-speed rail, and it happened to be planned for their area. Because it was in the main urban area and it was a key project like the high-speed rail, the demolition of that area was very quick. The higher-ups said that those who wanted a house could build a small high-rise, and those who didn't want a house could just pay compensation directly.

Upon hearing about the demolition, Tong Liang's family excitedly went home and built a house. The total residential land area was only more than 300 square meters, but they built a three or four-story building. Calculated by square meters, they earned several million yuan!
Don't think that Tong Liang is the same as Gu Yin, who didn't have a proper job after graduating from college. But the annual interest on the demolition fee alone is enough for his family to lie down for most of half a year, so any little money he earns is enough to spend.

"No wonder..." Gu Yin thought to himself, no wonder he could get together with Jiang Yun.

But speaking of demolition...

"They are all being demolished, and the more people are demolished, the more they are thrown away." Gu Yin sighed, but also felt a little envious.

Strictly speaking, their family is actually also a demolition household, but theirs is a key project in the urban village where the high-speed rail passes, while theirs is an old village renovation project in a remote mountain village. The difference between the two is a bit outrageous.

Tong Liang's family said they would demolish the house, and they would demolish it on the same day and wish they would pay the money the next day...

They said their house was going to be demolished, and it took three to five years from the time the news came out to the time the house was demolished. After the demolition, it took another three to five years to rebuild the resettlement housing. Even then, they still owed nearly two years of rent.

Do you think this is comparable?

Tong Liang was really hitting on the sore spot. After describing the whole process of his own house's demolition, he asked Gu Yin, "Hey Gu Yin, I remember your house was demolished too. Aren't there a lot of demolitions in your place?"

Another flattery...

"It's, it's okay." Gu Yin didn't want to sit with this idiot anymore.

I always read those novels before, where classmates who haven't seen each other for many years get together and act all pretentiously, but Gu Yin still doesn't believe it...

Looking back now, I really feel that art comes from reality.

"Okay, that's enough." During this time, Jiang Yun went to the bathroom again. When she came back and saw Tong Liang was still blowing, she couldn't help but pull him. It seemed to ease the embarrassment, or maybe she was interested. She changed the subject and said, "Hey, guess who I saw in the bathroom just now?"

"Who?" Gu Yin had heard enough of Tong Liang's bragging, so of course he immediately joined in. Tong Liang also cast a curious look at him.

"That's the one I told you about before!" Jiang Yun's eyes showed some admiration. She punched Tong Liang with her fist and said, "Have you forgotten why I had to come here to eat?"

"Oh~" Tong Liang suddenly realized, and then his eyes lit up as well: "You didn't see that female star, did you?"
