Chapter 3122: Chapter 3114: Application

The male dispatcher looked at Lin Yi, completely bewildered.

"You’re so young. Why do you dream of something undesirable, like driving a big truck? Young man, this won’t do."

"I’m young anyway, so it’s not a big deal."

"This isn’t up to me to decide; I only manage the scheduling here at the freight yard."

While speaking, the male dispatcher pulled Lin Yi aside and pointed to the first floor of the large office, indicating a few lit windows:

"109, that’s the dispatch room. For specifics, you should talk to them, but I doubt they’ll agree."

"Why not?"

"Because you lack experience," the male dispatcher said:

"Urban routes and long-distance driving are two completely different things. It’s not something you can just do at will; there are risks involved. You’re one of us, so you should know these things."

"I understand," Lin Yi said with a smile, "I’ll go take a look first."

"Alright, go ahead."

Lin Yi fumbled in his pocket and took out two packs of cigarettes. "Here, have a smoke, brother."

Seeing the cigarettes Lin Yi offered, the male dispatcher was startled. They were over a hundred per pack, totaling 300 yuan for both.

"No, no, no, these cigarettes are too expensive; I can’t afford to smoke them."

"What’s unaffordable about them? Just enjoy."

With a polite gesture, Lin Yi didn’t give him a chance to refuse further. After leaving the cigarettes, he went to the Zone Office.

However, he felt it might be a bit tricky.

Long-distance freight driving is inherently dangerous.

Courier companies require drivers to have at least five years of driving experience.

The driver’s license issue isn’t a big deal.

The Central Guards Brigade had long taken care of that for him.

But he’s too young; anyone can tell he doesn’t have the driving experience, so naturally, they wouldn’t agree to it.

If he were in their shoes, he wouldn’t agree either, which makes it tricky.

Slowly and leisurely, Lin Yi arrived at the Zone Office.

At the entrance of Room 109, he saw many drivers waiting.

But to Lin Yi’s surprise, there were people around his age here, maybe one or two years older at most.

This gave Lin Yi a little hope.

Lin Yi’s appearance caught quite a bit of attention.

Both men and women were sizing him up.

The drivers looked at Lin Yi because he seemed unfamiliar; they hadn’t seen him before.

The female dispatcher looked at Lin Yi because he was handsome.

"This handsome guy looks familiar, doesn’t he?"

A female dispatcher muttered.

The female dispatcher’s name was Chen Dantong, with a baby face and a ponytail.

Although dressed in a uniform, she seemed much younger and cuter.

"Your memory is terrible; he was here a few days ago."

"Yeah, yeah, I remember now," Chen Dantong said, "I heard he came looking for Liu Wenlin a few days ago, and after that, Liu Wenlin was fired. I heard it was a direct order from the group."

"But I’m a bit puzzled. I heard he’s just a courier at a branch. How did he manage to report Liu Wenlin successfully, and with a direct order from the group? It’s a bit strange; they’re not even on the same level."

"Let me tell you a little gossip," Chen Dantong said mysteriously.

"What? Could it be that he’s being kept by a big boss from the group?" another female colleague said, intrigued by the gossip.

"I don’t know if he’s being kept, but I happened to pass by the other day and saw Boss Zhou talking to him, and he seemed quite polite."

"Oh my gosh, no way, Boss Zhou was speaking to him politely? If you’re saying that, there must be something going on."

"But the thing is, why is this handsome guy here so late at night?"

"Who knows, we’re just employees here. Besides, handsome guys like him wouldn’t be interested in us."

However, while speaking, the female colleague playfully nudged Chen Dantong,

"My looks won’t cut it, but you could have a shot."

"No, no, no, I know myself too well. With a level 10 beauty filter, I barely make a six; I can’t match up to him."

"But you have the advantage of a good figure," the female colleague replied, "and it’s not like you’re looking for a relationship. Enjoying some time with such a handsome guy is a win."

"Haha, you married folks are so bold, but I like it," Chen Dantong said slyly.

"So, if there’s a chance, you should go for it. If there’s no chance, create one."

"Alright, back to work now, don’t delay the tasks."

Standing in the crowd, Lin Yi observed the situation inside the room.

Through the others’ chatter, he got a general understanding.

These people were all long-distance freight drivers who needed to pick up tickets here before they could depart.

Though there were many people, everything moved quickly without waste of time, soon it was Lin Yi’s turn, and the person attending to him was Chen Dantong.

"You’re switching to driving big trucks now?"

"You know me?"

"Aren’t you the courier from Xinsheng Garden? I saw you here once before."

"I’m not switching careers, but I have something to discuss with you privately. Are you available?"

"Ah? Talk to me privately?"

Chen Dantong knew someone as handsome as Lin Yi couldn’t be interested in her, but even so, his request made her a bit excited.

"Alright, let’s go outside."

Without hesitation, Chen Dantong agreed. After all, who could resist someone as handsome as Lin Yi?

Others were fine with it, but some people around Lin Yi’s age gave them a look as they left the dispatch room together, with curiosity in their eyes.

"What are they up to? Leaving together like that? Could something be going on?"

The speaker was in his thirties, sitting on the couch in the dispatch room, dressed ordinarily. His name was Li Qi, also a long-distance driver.

"Old Zhang, be careful, those two might cause some trouble."

The person called Old Zhang was named Zhang Gang, sitting next to Li Qi, smoking a cigarette, his expression not looking good.

"Trouble seems unlikely; I know Chen Dantong well. She’s not the type to fool around, very decent."

"I trust her character too, but is that guy a new driver? Never seen him before."

"Probably not. We are the youngest in this batch of drivers, and we started driving big trucks in our early twenties. He’s even younger than us, and with such smooth skin, the Zone shouldn’t hire someone like him, they’re too inexperienced."

"It’s hard to say. Let’s see what’s happening first."

After speaking, Lin Yi and Chen Dantong had reached the corner of the staircase.

"What do you need? There’s no one here, just go ahead and say it."

"Here’s the thing, the collecting driver got injured, and I brought the goods over for him. I want to cover for him on a long-distance run tonight; can you make some accommodation for this?"

"

"What? You want to drive the big truck for him?"
