Chapter 68: There's a lot to learn about driving.
Time flies, and filming for "Better Days" has lasted for a month and a half, with two months remaining until all scenes are officially completed.
Good luck continued; the car that Gu Luojin and Zhou Ye bought together also arrived at the store today.
The two went to pick up their car together after filming, and Little Yellow Duck, who witnessed all of this, was very anxious.
But Gu Luojin's words to her about not dating seemed so sincere.
"Sister, Director Zeng said that you need to shave your head for the next scene."
"Why shave? Can't you just wear a wig?"
The little yellow duck's assistant was also helpless. It was necessary for the plot and the director's request. Fortunately, the cost of being scolded was included in the salary.
……
The two were in high spirits and came to the 4S store without any assistants or agents to witness their own exclusive car.
He splurged a bit; instead of buying a house or a motorhome, he got himself a luxury car for daily commuting.
"Brother Gu, the car we both chose is really nice."
Luxury items made with nearly 200 million RMB are brimming with the scent of money; how could they not be beautiful?
Having purchased insurance in advance and inspected the car, the two drove out of the 4S store with temporary license plates.
"Brother Gu, this is our own car."
Although her 20 yuan was negligible, it was full of excitement and a sense of accomplishment for the two who had only recently started working.
Young and promising, driving a Bentley; love is just a game.
Young and promising, driving an Audi; RVs and dowries need not be mentioned.
Young and accomplished, driving a Mercedes; love will be free of arguments.
It's not that I don't have feelings for you, it's that you don't drive a Porsche.
Gu Luojin fully understood the true meaning of this sentence. In the five minutes that Zhou Ye got out of the car to buy things, seven or eight beautiful women knocked on his car window, wanting to add him on WeChat.
It's hard to say whether she was attracted to his good looks or his luxury car.
Zhou Ye got into the car and gently offered a cigarette to Gu Luojin's lips.
Just as she was about to light the lighter, Gu Luojin turned his head slightly and politely declined her offer.
He doesn't have a smoking addiction, he only smokes occasionally. Smoking in crowded spaces is not suitable and would disturb others.
"You went downstairs just to buy me cigarettes?"
"Yes." Zhou Ye turned her head, her eyes curving into crescents, and blinked coquettishly, expecting his praise: "Quickly praise me for being sensible."
"Come on, I'll take you for a couple of laps, and then I'll teach you how to drive."
"OK."
Faced with the innocent and passionate Zhou Ye, he, a seasoned driver of ten years, was determined to teach her how to drive properly.
The two found a closed road: "Hey kid, are you scared?"
"Brother Gu, there are countless roads, but safety is the most important. Reckless driving will bring tears to your loved ones' eyes."
"rest assured."
"Brother Gu, you're not going to drive too fast later, are you?"
"Fasten your seatbelts, we're starting."
Zhou Ye watched the numbers on the dashboard soar and silently pulled the handrail in the car back up.
To test the performance and speed of the luxury car, he went a bit overboard.
Zhou Ye, who adapted to the speed, also became immersed in it.
As they approached the U-turn point, Gu Luojin slowed down.
"Now we need to turn around."
"what……"
"This is the correct way for a Porsche to turn around."
After making the U-turn, Gu Luojin slammed on the gas pedal, experiencing a strong impact and a thrilling sensation.
This prompted Zhou Ye to utter a captivating and mesmerizing sentence.
"Brother Gu, you're so naughty, I like it so much."
Gu Luojin slowly brought the car to a stop, and Zhou Ye finally recovered from the rapid acceleration.
For a minute, Zhou Ye felt her heart stop.
Gu Luojin felt a thrill, but it was still not safe on the road. She thought that if she had time, she could buy a car, get a racing license, and go to the racetrack to have fun. That would be real excitement.
Once she had calmed down, Zhou Ye unbuckled her seatbelt and hugged Gu Luojin.
"Brother Gu, it's illegal to pick up girls like this, I'm going to call 110."
With Zhou Ye's favorability rating at 90 points, is there any need to pursue her further?
If you beckon, Zhou Ye will come up to you on her own.
"Come on, I'll teach you how to drive."
The two switched driving seats.
"Xiao Ye, driving may seem simple, but there's actually a lot to learn."
"Brother Gu, please tell me quickly."
When you drive, you should enter first gear, and drive in second and third gear for a longer period of time.
Don't immediately shift into fourth or fifth gear, and be sure to apply the brakes appropriately.
When you notice the car constantly shaking or contracting.
The crucial moment has arrived; you need to learn to adjust your speed based on the sound.
At this point, immediately shift to sixth gear and accelerate to over 3,000 RPM.
If you brake suddenly after about five minutes, you'll find the car shaking violently and the fuel injector will immediately spray fuel.
"Brother Gu, isn't our car an automatic?"
"Oh, oh. I've been driving automatic cars for so long, I haven't quite gotten used to it yet."
"Now I'll teach you how to drive an automatic car. Use the left brake and the right accelerator. With the brake pedal pressed, shift to D gear and then start driving."
Following Gu Luojin's method, Zhou Ye discovered that driving wasn't so difficult after all.
……
Meng Ziyi, who came to visit the set, flew directly to the "Better Days" film crew to give Zhou Ye a surprise.
There were no surprises, as neither of them were on set.
Meng Ziyi found Wang Lu: "Xiao Lu, where are Gu Luojin and Xiao Ye?"
"Sis, those two went to pick up their car."
"You bought a car?"
"Yes, it just arrived today, and it's probably still being test-driven."
"I messaged them. Give me his room key, and I'll wait for them in the room."
"it is good."
Meng Ziyi sent Zhou Ye several WeChat messages, but Zhou Ye, who was driving, was too busy to check her phone.
Gu Luojin drove Zhou Ye through a district in Chongqing Province, leaving her drenched in sweat.
"Brother Gu, you're the only one who dares to ride in my car. I don't think anyone else would."
Zhou Ye's legs felt weak after she got off the bus.
Her actions include, but are not limited to: changing lanes without using turn signals, and turning left and then entering the oncoming lane.
Fortunately, the other party didn't make a big deal out of it because she was a female driver and the car was a luxury car; otherwise, the new car would have been involved in an accident on its very first day.
She truly lives up to her reputation as a female driver.
"Brother Gu, aren't you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid."
Why am I not afraid? Because I am not afraid.
What worried him more was that this was a new car, his new car.
The two returned to the hotel.
As soon as Gu Luojin opened the door, she found two more people in the room: her assistant Xiaolu and Meng Ziyi.
"Sister Meng, are you visiting me on set, or are you visiting Xiao Ye on set?"
"Who's visiting you on set, you scumbag? I'm visiting Xiao Ye on set."
"Come on, Xiao Ye, let's go to your room."
He didn't want to participate in the conversations between the two girls; they were just gossiping about women.
Instead of wasting time, why not play more games, watch videos of beautiful women, watch Odyssey, fix donkey hooves, or clean carpets?
However, even when watching videos, people are divided into different classes, with some looking down on those who skirt the edges of reality.
You can ignore her when she's just flirting, but you can't afford to be with her when she's just trying to make money.
After the mask incident, with the economic downturn, Ao Debiao and Donkey Hoof have disappeared; all that can be seen are borderline videos.
Besides, what would he see if he didn't wipe it?
Dozens of men were sitting around a small bar when suddenly an art student announced he was going to give a speech, which was even more alarming.
Gu Luojin scrolled through dozens of videos, all of them about beautiful women showing off their figures.
He's really built up this account; he wouldn't sell it for a million dollars, and he wouldn't trade it for the position of county magistrate of Goose City.
"Brother Gu, are you still watching those lewd videos? Don't send private messages to anyone, I don't want to see you get dumped."
Gu Luojin glanced at her, then said, "Xiaolu, you're mistaken in thinking that way."
"Whether she's provocative or not, I don't know. I only know that in real life, no one would be willing to wiggle like that in front of me, but she, a complete stranger, was willing to do it."
"They won't cheat me out of my money, they won't cheat me out of my things, and they won't cheat me out of my life."
"This isn't promiscuity, it's offering warmth to the underprivileged, it's salvation in the darkness, it's a female bodhisattva."
Hearing his fallacious reasoning, Wang Lu did not argue with him further on the issue.
"Brother Gu, the box office of 'The Big Shot' has reached 4.3 million."
Gu Luojin put down her phone: "This is good news."
It has already far surpassed the box office of "The Big Shot" in his previous life, and he has achieved great success in his first film appearance.
If Yang Mi's box office of 9000 million is already a huge rip-off, then her 4.3 million is just asking for a mountain of hype.
"We can arrange a company marketing campaign."
Once "Better Days" nominates him for Best Actor, we can brag about it a lot.
The newcomers can only smell his exhaust fumes, while the top stars in front are moving closer to him.
