Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years
Chapter 38 Lack of Sincerity
Li Haoyu likes to do many things.
One of the things I did was chat with taxi drivers.
He knew that many people had social anxiety and hoped that the driver would not speak, or better yet, that the driver was mute.
But chatting happily is one way, and sulking and feeling unhappy is another.
So why not choose to be happier?
For Li Haoyu, taxi drivers are great conversationalists.
There's really no harm in chatting with all sorts of people, as long as you don't take everything they say too seriously. Through their words, you can easily get a glimpse into the joys and sorrows, and even the fantastical stories, of life amidst the glitz and glamour of the city.
You can discover hidden gems of delicious hole-in-the-wall restaurants, learn about the most secretive entertainment venues, and even hear legendary stories more outrageous than those in movies.
Li Haoyu didn't mince words and went straight to the driver, saying, "Judging from your demeanor, are you driving a taxi part-time? Do you work the day shift or the night shift? How many hours a day? How much money do you earn?"
The girl in the front seat clearly hadn't expected the boy to be so talkative.
Her eyes were wide open, probably because she was secretly regretting it.
Why did she invite such a talkative person onto the bus?
The driver didn't stand on ceremony; he probably rarely encountered a passenger as talkative as Li Haoyu.
He replied casually, "It's hard to say about income. Taxi drivers are like Buffett, their livelihood depends on the weather. Sometimes you pick up a passenger here, but it's not worthwhile to drive back empty. But sometimes you can make a profit if you can connect with someone."
If I earn 10,000 a month, I can eat an extra chicken leg; if I earn 8,000, I can only afford a chicken foot.
The driver continued to complain: "I won't even mention the hardship of working in the wind and rain, but the worst part is that I have to watch out for the traffic police. Fines are a small matter after a year, but I'm afraid of getting points deducted. There are only 12 points a year, and once you run out of points, you have nothing left."
Li Haoyu said, "I must say, Master, you're quite humorous. But these days, no job is easy. You can only truly understand the taste of life by experiencing it yourself."
Li Haoyu was chatting animatedly with the driver, completely forgetting that there was a girl present.
Li Haoyu didn't spend much time before he had a thorough understanding of the daily revenue, profit, rules, and costs of taxis in Shanghai.
The girl was clearly not interested in their conversation.
She watched the scenery outside the car window with great interest, experiencing the charm of Shanghai.
Shanghai is a magical city.
A thousand people will have a thousand different views of Shanghai.
Every day, countless people from all over the world come here, leaving behind a variety of impressions and labels that are deeply imprinted on this city. Taxis weave through the lush plane trees, and the streets are lined with shops, bustling with stylishly dressed men and women.
The bustling metropolis is also dotted with charming old streets.
Li Haoyu stared blankly out the window, as if a strange feeling was welling up in his heart, and he was momentarily stunned.
Until a red Ferrari sports car sped past, leaving behind the roar of its engine.
This snapped Li Haoyu out of his reverie, and he realized they were already at Shanghai University. 🐍♠ 6➈Ⓢ𝐇υא.ⓒOм 🍓👺
The driver looked at the Ferrari that was overtaking him and muttered a curse, which Li Haoyu didn't hear clearly.
The gates of universities in Shanghai were already packed with people.
Many senior students were carrying banners with welcome messages from various universities.
The fare was sixty yuan, and ignoring the girl's attempts to refuse, Li Haoyu took thirty yuan from his wallet and put it in her hand. He also took the girl's luggage out of the trunk.
Only then did he realize that he hadn't even known the girl's name after walking all this way.
Li Haoyu introduced himself, "My name is Zhang Anren, and I'm a freshman in the architecture department. I haven't had a chance to ask your name yet?"
The girl said, "Then you'll have to call me senior. My name is Lin Ya Hui, and I'm a third-year architecture student."
Li Haoyu was somewhat surprised to see her carrying so many bags and such heavy luggage. He assumed that Lin Yahui was probably a freshman like him who had just enrolled.
I never expected her to be a senior student. It's truly a coincidence.
Li Haoyu walked on the clean asphalt road on campus.
He looked at the clear blue sky and the vibrant students.
Shanghai University left him with a very good first impression, which improved his mood.
Because the front door was packed with people.
Lin Ya Hui then led Li Hao Yu through the back door via a small path.
Li Haoyu saw the famous "Panchi" (泮池) of Shanghai University.
The term "Panchi" is taken from the pond of the same name in the Confucius Temple.
A crescent-shaped pond extends from the dormitory building to behind the library. Pan Lake stands on the pond, and a stone tablet stands beside the Pan Bridge with the four large characters "Pan Chi Guan Yu" (Viewing Fish at Pan Pond) on it. It is also the most famous scenic spot in Shanghai University.
The Panchi (泮池) symbolizes immersing oneself in the boundless sea of learning, cultivating virtue, and advancing in one's career.
Lin Ya Hui enthusiastically introduced the story from the side, her face full of pride.
Lin Ya-hui, who had previously been quiet, became talkative, just like a tour guide.
Li Haoyu could understand; she was already a junior in college and would soon be leaving school, which was why her emotions were so strong.
University memories are deeply ingrained and unforgettable for everyone.
Otherwise, so many social circles would not have formed around their alma mater.
Lin Ya-hui's journey as a tour guide is far from over.
Peacocks, mandarin ducks, golden pheasants, black swans, white swans, koi carp, pigeons... this place is practically a mini zoo. Therefore, Shanghai University is jokingly called Shanghai's Animal University, and also enjoys the nickname "People's Park of Baoshan District."
To maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, Li Haoyu naturally became her porter.
He carried his heavy backpack on his back and dragged her incredibly heavy suitcase with one hand, panting heavily as he walked along the campus path.
Therefore, he naturally had no leisure to patiently listen to her introduce the anecdotes of the campus.
He looked around; to his left was the towering library, and to his right, the dormitory building should be. A closer look revealed girls' clothes hanging in the windows, indicating it was the girls' dormitory.
Victory was just ahead, which finally gave him some psychological comfort.
Lin Ya Hui looked at him with some surprise and asked, "Have you been here before? How do you know the way?"
Li Haoyu said, "No."
Lin Ya-hui then asked, "How did you know where the girls' dormitory building is?"
Li Haoyu said nonchalantly, "The dormitory building is easy to find. Just go where there are the most people. You don't need to find your way."
Lin Ya Hui was stunned; this answer was clearly unexpected.
She stopped talking and just followed him. The two walked along the road and saw a group of pretty female students passing by with books.
Li Haoyu deliberately slowed down and observed carefully for a long time.
Why aren't there any pretty girls here?
He shook his head in disappointment. The quality of female university students in Shanghai is not high enough!
Li Haoyu turned to her and said, "I can't go up to the girls' dormitory, so you'll have to take care of your luggage yourself."
Lin Ya-hui said, "Thank you, dear junior. Just leave your luggage here. I'll call my roommates to come down and help. I'll take care of you in this little corner of the architecture department from now on."
Li Haoyu was also very sensible. He took out his phone and said, "Then I'll have to pay more attention. Senior, please leave your contact information."
Lin Ya Hui didn't stand on ceremony and took the phone to dial a number.
"Here's my phone number, save it. I still need to tidy up my dorm, I'll contact you again when I have time."
Li Haoyu curled his lip; this girl wasn't sincere!
Even if you don't treat me to a meal, you could at least add me on WeChat!
