Chapter 16 Drunk Driving
"Yes."
Gan Ning turned around and said, "Originally, we needed to modify one car, but now we need to modify two."
"Even if only the vehicle itself and its main body and structural components are required to be the same, and other parts can be slightly cheaper, it will still be a considerable expense."
"Originally, even getting second place in the second-tier league would earn you some money, but getting first place would be a huge profit."
"With this new regulation, even getting second place will only mean breaking even, right? If there's any accident or car problem, we might even lose money."
"In fact, if there isn't enough money, you can't even modify two cars..."
"Doesn't that mean they don't even qualify to participate?"
She gritted her teeth: "What new regulations? They're practically bullying us individual drivers!"
Teams with investors or powerful backers may not care about this amount of money, but for individual drivers, this new rule is extremely unfriendly.
"With this new regulation, the number of individual cyclists will definitely decrease sharply."
"What kind of ridiculous rule is this?"
Liu Jun shook his head: "You're right, but there's nothing we can do."
"The starting point of this new regulation...no one can say it's wrong or bad. Even if you're cursing it in your heart, you have to say outwardly that this new regulation is good."
"If you want to participate, you have to accept it; otherwise, you should give up on this industry as soon as possible."
"This is so frustrating!" Gan Ning exclaimed angrily.
Of course, she knew she had no choice but to accept it, and she also knew that there was nothing wrong with her starting point and intention.
But this is really unfriendly to individual drivers.
Liu Jun nodded slightly: "It is quite frustrating."
"How about we admit defeat and beg?"
"What a load of nonsense!" Gan Ning exploded. "Are we necessarily afraid of him?"
"If we're going to lose money on second place, then we'll take first!"
"Get promoted, let's do it! Let's get those bastards!"
Liu Jun felt the 'corpse' was warm: "Okay, deal with them!"
"However, well, sometimes, could we not speak Southwestern Mandarin?"
Gan Ning was taken aback: "What's wrong?"
"A bit abstinent," Liu Jun muttered under his breath. "What's so comfortable? I can't take it anymore, give me two ear stones and let it all out..."
Gan Ning: "???"
"You're going to die! All you do all day is practice driving more and do less TT (traffic mileage)!"
「···」
······
For the next three days, Liu Jun and the other man maintained a regular schedule.
During the day, Gan Ning livestreams car repairs, modifications, and parts sourcing.
In the evening, Liu Jun livestreamed himself driving for ride-sharing services, chatting with passengers and viewers about life, ideals... well, to put it bluntly, just chatting.
If given the opportunity and the audience is interested, he will teach some driving skills, and even occasionally drift a bit when it is safe to do so.
Unfortunately, there weren't any particularly amazing program effects during these three days.
As a result, the rate of fan growth has slowed down significantly.
Income also plummeted.
In three days, the number of followers increased by less than four thousand.
Income is less than 10,000.
This directly resulted in Gan Ning not finding an "opportunity" to open a product showcase.
The fourth day, night.
After dropping off her first rideshare passenger, Gan Ning looked at the rapidly declining viewership of her livestream, tapped the microphone to turn it off, and sighed, "Sigh."
"There haven't been any good programs these past few days."
"It would be great if we could add some entertainment value to boost the show."
Liu Jun nodded: "Yes."
"Unfortunately, that kind of program effect is something you can't always achieve, like winning the lottery. Let's take it one step at a time."
Gan Ning complained, "Of course I know this principle, but I can't help but think, how great it would be if there was another wave."
Liu Jun responded quietly, "Actually, I couldn't help it either."
"So it's you too~" Gan Ning was overjoyed.
Liu Jun suddenly changed the subject: "Hey? Why is there a bit of traffic up ahead?"
"Let me see." Gan Ning craned his neck to look into the distance: "It looks like they're checking for drunk driving."
"That's alright then."
Gan Ning's eyes darted around, and he turned on the microphone: "Viewers, we're checking for drunk driving ahead. There are about twenty cars between here and the traffic police."
"Guess how many cars were driven under the influence?"
"If we guess correctly, we will arrange a free ride on the track later."
These words immediately piqued the audience's interest.
"In today's society governed by the rule of law, and in a big city like this, there's practically no one driving under the influence anymore, right?"
"That's not necessarily true; some people are just stubborn!"
"It's not that they're stubborn, it's that some old idiots just don't care. I live in the county town, and over 95% of young people don't drink and drive. But those old idiots, hey, let alone drinking and driving, even if their driver's licenses are revoked, they still dare to drink and drive."
"That's true. Many old-timers don't care about these things at all; they're just stubborn. So I'd guess two, a one in ten chance, about right?"
I guess not.
I guess one.
"Three platforms."
「···」
With the topic generating buzz and popularity, viewers began to flock to the live stream.
It gradually rose to five thousand and is still slowly increasing.
Gan Ning pointed the camera forward. Although it wasn't very clear, he could still see it if the breathalyzer in the traffic police officer's hand flashed.
Vehicles ahead proceeded one by one.
Even after most of the day had passed, it still hadn't flashed once.
at the same time.
The passenger in the vehicle undergoing inspection beamed, "Haha, worth it! This designated driver service was totally worth it; I made a killing on those few dozen yuan!"
In the driver's seat, the designated driver, somewhat helplessly, blew on the air as instructed by the traffic police.
The tester did not respond.
Just as they were about to let him through, the driver in the passenger seat grinned and said, "Officer, can you blow on this for me? I want to test if your testing device is broken."
"How about it?"
Upon hearing this, the traffic police officer was both amused and exasperated, and then extended the testing device over.
The passenger immediately took a deep breath, phew~~~~
Drop drop drop!
The tester flashed and beeped instantly.
The traffic policeman rolled his eyes and said, "Go, go, go now."
The designated driver stepped on the gas and sped away.
Inside the panda car.
Gan Ning had barely uttered the word "one" when he saw the car speed away. He was startled and exclaimed, "Huh? What's going on?"
The viewers in the live stream were also stunned.
"Wasn't that drunk driving? They let him go?"
"Damn it, such a big cigarette butt won't go out, and he can still drive drunk."
"Their background must be very powerful!"
"We can't afford to offend them, we can't afford to offend them."
"So how do we calculate this? Is it drunk driving?"
"The traffic police in your 8D city are too blatant! So many people dare to use connections and let others pass without permission?"
Liu Jun and Gan Ning exchanged a glance, both somewhat bewildered.
However, seeing that it was almost his turn, Liu Jun said softly, "Everyone, don't panic, I'll go ask."
The car window rolled down.
When the traffic police saw Liu Jun and his companion, they were taken aback: "The Great Monster General and the Little Monster Corporal?"
"What are you doing here?"
Do you know us?
Liu Jun blinked: "Let's go for a drive and do a live stream while we're at it."
"Oh." Upon hearing this, the traffic police officer didn't say much and immediately said, "Please cooperate with the breathalyzer test."
Liu Jun blew on it, but naturally there was no reaction.
The traffic police waved for them to go, but Liu Jun said, "Um, officer, I'm just curious, there was a car that flashed its lights just now, why was it allowed to go?"
The traffic policeman laughed: "You mean that one? The car owner called a designated driver and was sitting in the passenger seat. When he saw us checking for drunk driving, he was all smiles and insisted on taking a breathalyzer test too."
Then, remembering that Liu Jun was live-streaming, he added, "The designated driver didn't drink, but he did. Also, in response to civilized law enforcement, we're live-streaming the whole thing tonight."
These words immediately dispelled everyone's doubts.
Liu Jun nodded, took his leave, and departed.
Meanwhile, in a car behind, the driver and passenger exchanged a glance, their faces grim.
"There are too many cars behind me, I can't turn around, what should I do?"
"What the hell can we do? Find a chance to charge in!"
