Unexpectedly, just a few seconds after she placed the order, the system showed that a driver had already accepted it!

Even Ling Ji herself was baffled. Are ride-hailing services really this widespread nowadays? What kind of driver would come to such a remote place?

[No way, she actually dared to call a Didi out here?]

[No way, no way. It's this day and age, and people still think Didi drivers are dangerous?]

[Actually, most Didi drivers are very friendly. But at this hour, and in such a secluded place, Little Ji had better be careful!]

[Right! Just in case, show us the license plate before you get in the car, and don't you dare turn off the stream after you get in!]

Ling Ji looked at the barrage of comments, rolled her eyes, and said, "I'm not stupid. There's no way I'm turning off the stream. It's precisely because I'm live-streaming that I dared to call a Didi. No matter what, nobody would be foolish enough to attack an anchor who is live on air!"

With that, Ling Ji got out of her own car. She stood by the roadside, chatting with her online friends while she waited.

A few minutes later, with a mighty roar, the headlights of a Pagani illuminated the darkness as it slowly pulled to a stop in front of Ling Ji.

The car window rolled down, and Xia Liang spoke to Ling Ji, who was standing outside. "Is your number ending in 3647?"

Ling Ji nodded subconsciously.

"Then get in."

"Huh? Why?"

Hearing this, Xia Liang gave her a strange look and retorted, "Didn't you call for a Didi? How am I supposed to take you if you don't get in? Or would you rather I strapped you to the roof?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Ji froze for a few seconds before she came to her senses. She hurriedly checked her phone, only then noticing the driver information on the Didi app interface. The vehicle model was listed as a—Hui Teng?? Wait, isn't that a Volkswagen?

And the license plate number matched the car in front of her!

This meant that this was, in fact, the Didi she had ordered! Ling Ji was stunned. Why is it called a Hui Teng and not a Volkswagen?

At this moment, however, her live stream chat had already exploded with activity!

[HOLY SHIT! What am I seeing? A Hui Teng! And by the looks of it, it's a custom model! That body is too damn cool!]

[I just checked. The latest custom Hui Teng costs over 40 million Yuan, and there's only one of them in the entire world!]

[Hiss… This one car is worth as much as a supercar?]

[Not only that, the most crucial part is that you can't get this car even if you have the money, unless you have some serious connections!]

[Can someone explain? Why is this car so awesome?]

[Don't say another word. The sense of immersion is too strong. I'm already trying to decide which foot to step into the car with first!]

Ordinarily, an unregistered, privately modified car couldn't be driven on public roads. So, to get Xia Liang on the road immediately, Xiao Qianxi had arranged for Volkswagen to register it directly as a special edition, a move that surprised quite a few people.

By now, Ling Ji had gathered her important belongings and settled into the car. As for her own vehicle, she could only leave it there for now and find a professional towing service to pick it up later. She had parked it on a patch of dirt well off to the side, so it wouldn't block the road anyway.

After Ling Ji got in, Xia Liang didn't say another word, simply stepping on the gas and setting off.

Only then did Ling Ji have the state of mind to look at the barrage of comments in her stream, and what she saw gave her a shock!

Compared to the online friends in her stream, Ling Ji, being a woman, knew little about such luxury cars. She only knew from the Didi information that this sports car was called a Hui Teng, and that was it. Based on her initial guess, the car was probably worth a few hundred thousand Yuan, a million at most.

However, she never imagined the car she was sitting in actually cost over forty million Yuan! At her current earning speed, it would take her hundreds of years of scrimping and saving to afford it. If she accidentally scratched the paint or broke something, it would be like working for over a decade for nothing!

At this thought, Ling Ji instinctively shrank back in her seat, not daring to move recklessly.

The car began to move. After a while, watching the endless scroll of comments, Ling Ji couldn't help but ask, "Um, excuse me, how should I address you?"

"Xia Liang."

"Is this car yours?"

"Is it yours, then?" Xia Liang retorted, rolling his eyes.

"Ah, no, no, no! That's not what I meant," Ling Ji explained, waving her hands frantically. "I was just wondering, isn't it a waste to use such a great car to drive for Didi?"

Xia Liang shook his head and replied, "What's wasteful about it? I'm a Didi driver. My car is the tool of my trade, so of course I have to be willing to spend money on it. Good steel must be used on the blade's edge. As a Didi driver, isn't it only right for me to find ways to make my car better? As the saying goes, 'sharpen the axe before chopping the wood.' Only when my car is better can I work more efficiently, take more orders, earn more money, and then buy an even better car, thus creating a virtuous cycle!"

Ling Ji found herself subconsciously nodding, thinking for a moment that Xia Liang's words actually made a lot of sense!

But she quickly snapped out of it. What 'sharpen the axe'? Are these two things even remotely the same? Just this Hui Teng alone is something an ordinary person could never afford, even if they drove for Didi their entire life! It's like a pig butcher insisting on using a legendary, +10 enchanted, golden, shimmering Dragon-Slaying Saber. No matter how you look at it, the whole picture is just wrong!

"Then, if you're so rich, why are you driving for Didi? To experience life?"

In fact, it wasn't just Ling Ji who was curious; everyone in the live stream was curious too! There were plenty of rich kids who played with luxury cars, but using one to drive for Didi was truly a rare sight.

Xia Liang glanced at her, his expression becoming solemn and righteous. "Please do not insult my profession. I am a Didi driver. It is my faith, my perseverance, and my dream. It is also the pillar of my life! I don't have many skills. I was never good at studying, I'm no good at business, and I'm not willing to work for anyone. Working for someone else is impossible in this lifetime. I can only rely on driving for Didi like this to get by!"

Ever since she got in the car, Ling Ji had kept the camera pointed at Xia Liang. After he said this, the stream's comments exploded once more.

[Working for someone is impossible, I'll never work for anyone in this lifetime. I can't do business either. So I have to resort to 'obtaining' things like this to maintain my lifestyle.]

[Spill it, how much did Didi pay you? Oh, wait, does your family own Didi?]

[Say no more, I believe him! I don't care if you guys believe him, I do!]

Ling Ji couldn't help but chuckle. Clearly, she also thought Xia Liang was just spouting eloquent nonsense. After all, how could someone who owned a Hui Teng worth over forty million Yuan really be just a Didi driver?

Only Xia Liang himself knew that every word he spoke came straight from the heart.

Just then, a roar came from outside the window. A red Ferrari 488 pulled up from behind, driving parallel to Xia Liang's car. The window rolled down, revealing a young man with bleached-blond hair in the driver's seat. He waved at Xia Liang, signaling for him to lower his window.

Xia Liang rolled down the window, and the blondie shouted at him, "Hey, bud! Nice car, special edition. How about a race?"

Hearing this, Xia Liang instantly knew who this blondie was—most likely one of the local street racers.

"No thanks, I don't race. I'm just a Didi driver, and I have a passenger. I need to ensure her safety."

"Hey, come on, dude! Don't be a coward and make up such a lame excuse. You're driving this thing for Didi? Who's gonna believe that!"

Xia Liang raised an eyebrow but didn't reply. Blondie, however, wouldn't shut up.

"Don't just go silent on me, man. Just picked up this chick? In a hurry to get home and get down to business? Don't worry, it won't take long. You race one lap with me, and I'll find you an even hotter girl to have fun with, however you want!"
