The moment the woman got into the car, she pulled a dime from her bag and threw it at Xia Liang.

What is she doing? Xia Liang was confused.

The drunken woman slurred, "Tonight, I want to let loose! You just play along!"

She rose slightly, draping a jade-like arm over Xia Liang's chest and pressing her entire body against the back of the driver's seat.

No man would refuse a woman like this, and Xia Liang was no exception. As the saying goes, a fair lady is a gentleman's ideal mate.

But today's situation was a test of character. A gentleman may desire a beautiful woman, but he pursues her honorably. Xia Liang knew he could never bring himself to take advantage of someone in her state.

The woman had been drunk since she got in the car. She had passed out immediately and only woken up three minutes ago. And what had she done in those three minutes? She'd simply thrown a dime at him and muttered a few suggestive lines that only an old pro would understand.

Xia Liang, of course, refused.

A dime? Am I that cheap? I was accepted into a prestigious university, got my driver's license right after graduating high school, and even started this Didi gig to temper my character and experience life. I'm a young man with ambition! A mere dime? You could at least add a little more!

"Ngh..."

"Damn it!"

The two sounds came almost simultaneously. The first was a soft moan from the woman beside him, who frowned as if she'd been burned by something. The second was from Xia Liang, who slammed on the brakes. He didn't need to look to know her restless hand had already reached his lower abdomen and was starting to explore.

This is completely intolerable! Xia Liang stopped the car and tried to reason with her.

"Hey! Miss, can you not be so forward? I'm still an innocent young man, you know."

The woman just hummed and mumbled, paying him no attention as she continued what she was doing. It was as if she were saying, "Don't mind me, I can... do it... myself."

Xia Liang was completely helpless. If such a stunning, mature woman had come on to him under any normal circumstances, he wouldn't have hesitated to engage in a... deeper discussion, perhaps sharing some life philosophies along the way.

However, the car's erratic movements triggered an alarm in Didi's nighttime ride-hail monitoring system. The Protectors arrived quickly to investigate.

The beautiful police officer's eyes widened when she saw the suggestive scene inside the car. A Didi driver being harassed by a gorgeous passenger, and he was actually resisting? Such an upright man... It's unheard of!

What she saw next shocked Qi Xueyao even more. Looking at Xia Liang's profile, her jaw dropped slightly. "Xia Liang, age twenty-four..."

Qi Xueyao glanced at Xia Liang, who looked as though he had just survived a catastrophe, and frowned. With a background like his, why would he need to drive for Didi to make money?

Of course, she quickly dismissed the thought. What if he just had his own interests? Wasn't she the same? She had turned her back on her family's company to become a junior officer handling traffic incidents.

"Hey, officer," Xia Liang said, raising an eyebrow at the beautiful cop. "I know I'm handsome, but staring at me like that in the dead of night is a little creepy. How about we add each other on WeChat and have a proper chat later?"

The policewoman, who was busy filling out her report, shot him a cold glance.

There's a murderous aura!

"Alright, alright!" Xia Liang shrugged.

Soon enough, reporters who caught wind of the incident rushed over, eager to cover such a strange story for their live broadcast. The cameras started rolling. On screen, a woman even more beautiful than most celebrities appeared, stunning the seasoned reporters.

In the late-night livestream chat, the normally quiet comment section exploded.

"She's gorgeous!"

"Typing with both hands to prove my innocence!"

"A woman that beautiful, and some guy actually rejected her?"

...

Then came Xia Liang's interview. A reporter asked, "Mister Xia, what are your thoughts on being harassed by the beautiful passenger?"

Xia Liang replied solemnly, "As a member of China's new generation, a beneficiary of nine years of compulsory education, and a model youth, my response to such a base temptation was naturally in line with my upbringing and moral cultivation. On this occasion, I would like to thank my parents, thank..."

The reporter was dumbfounded.

The entire audience was collectively speechless.

However, it wasn't long before someone in the audience recognized him.

"Holy crap! Isn't that Summer God Hao?"

"No wonder he could resist such a temptation!"

"He's a role model for our generation!"

...

After asking a few more questions, the reporters finally let Xia Liang leave.

Meanwhile, the scene shifts to that morning at Didi Headquarters in the Shangjing Haiding District, inside the president's office.

President Liu Qing was listening to an important report from a subordinate.

"President Liu, here is the data on our express ride service. Yesterday, order volume reached 34 million, an increase of over 3 million compared to the third of the month. Our domestic market share also rose by 6% compared to the previous period."

"Have you determined the cause?"

"According to our preliminary investigation, there's a 90% probability that the surge is due to a Didi Express driver in Rongcheng named Xia Liang. Two days ago, videos of him frequently helping passengers went viral."

"This effect is especially pronounced in Shangjing and Qingyun City. In just the last ten-odd days, orders there have shot up by a third, exceeding the normal combined total for all platforms."

"Yes, I've seen the videos," Liu Qing said. "It's excellent positive publicity. Didi has been plagued by negative press lately. We absolutely must use this opportunity to stage a brilliant turnaround."

"Then what do you propose we do, President Liu?"

"Is Master Xia still driving? What's his background?"

Liu Qing asked with some concern. He was aware that this driver's skills and vehicle were anything but ordinary, so he worried that Xia Liang was just doing this on a whim and might quit at any moment.
