The Ultimate Versatile Soldier King

Chapter 169: What Is a Friend


Tang Tianyi saw the affirmative answer from Luo Chao, which bolstered her confidence instantly.

So, Tang Tianyi tentatively asked Luo Chao again, "Luo Chao, it seems my guess was correct. If I'm not mistaken, by special rights those black people possess, you mean patent rights, right?"

"Correct answer!" Luo Chao snapped his fingers decisively after hearing Tang Tianyi's reply.

"Hahaha, you young ones are quite smart. I originally thought you might not have heard of the term 'patent rights' and was planning to explain it, but now it seems it's just me, Zuo Dahai, being old and overthinking. You all seem to know even more than I do!" At this moment, Zuo Dahai, who was driving, suddenly said with a smile.

In fact, the previous conversation between Luo Chao and Tang Tianyi had been entirely heard by Zuo Dahai in the driver's seat.

Especially when Zuo Dahai heard Tang Tianyi mention she holds many patent rights, he was even more extraordinarily shocked.

However, don't let Zuo Dahai's current role as a mere ride-hailing driver fool you. Zuo Dahai once was a formidable business mogul in the entire Huahai City. To rein in his expressions and attitude on such a minor matter was well within his ability.

As for restraining his expressions and attitude, previously, the impatience shown by Zuo Dahai when urging Luo Chao and Tang Tianyi to get in the car was actually intentional.

The main aim was simply to save time, so he could take on more rides and earn a bit more money.

But if Zuo Dahai had known from the start that Luo Chao and Tang Tianyi were not average people, he certainly would have immediately curbed his expressions and attitude and put on a welcoming face.

Because Zuo Dahai knows that in today's society, it's much better to have one more friend than one more enemy!

Zuo Dahai fell from the heights of the upper class to the lower rungs of society, but he never once forgot the word 'revenge'.

Zuo Dahai has always wanted to come back. He wants to be a powerful figure who rises and falls multiple times. For that, besides himself, what he needs is the strength of friends, not enemies.

Enemies, Zuo Dahai only needs one, but friends, the more the merrier for Zuo Dahai now, especially those friends who can actually lend a hand.

In truth, it's not that Zuo Dahai hasn't sought help from his friends.

It's just that those friends he had made when he was in the upper echelon, upon seeing his current dilapidated state, all broke off relations, not willing to associate with him at all.

It was from that moment Zuo Dahai truly understood what it meant to have fair-weather friends and shallow connections.

And those friends of his who are also from the lower echelons, though willing, are powerless; even if they sincerely want to help Zuo Dahai seek vengeance, they can't really do anything practically useful.

But Zuo Dahai, after all, was once a person of success. Although he has aged, and his mind is not as sharp as it used to be in his youth, his shrewd experience is his most valuable asset.

Leveraging his shrewd experience, Zuo Dahai quickly discovered that being a ride-hailing driver is an advantageous job.

Why say being a ride-hailing driver is an advantageous job?

Because Zuo Dahai found that while the money earned as a ride-hailing driver isn't much, this job has an unparalleled advantage that other work can't match, even approach!

And that is the broad opportunity to make friends and meet new people!

Take Zuo Dahai as an example: he now drives a ride-hail, and he can take at least twenty jobs a day.

Assuming each of these twenty jobs involves just one person ordering a car, that's at least twenty new friends Zuo Dahai can meet in a day.

And though among these twenty new friends, there may not necessarily be anyone who can really help Zuo Dahai, don't forget, these are just the friends he meets in a single day!

The next day, and the day after, and the third day, the fourth day, one month? That's forty, sixty, eighty, one hundred, six hundred!

Just imagine, if one can meet at least six hundred new friends a month, wouldn't there be one or two who could potentially help out?

The answer is, of course, there would be!

And clearly, Luo Chao is that person who can help Zuo Dahai!

Thinking of this, Zuo Dahai continued, "Youngsters nowadays are really incredible. If only we could be friends! But surely, you look down on an old geezer like me who's down on his luck, right? After all, I can only drive this ride-hailing car!"

Who is Luo Chao?

The all-round Soldier King of Huaxia's Dragon Fang Team!

Luo Chao had long sensed the underlying dissatisfaction in Zuo Dahai's words.

So, following Zuo Dahai's words, Luo Chao said, "Not at all, Uncle Zuo, you're being too hard on yourself. Though you're down right now, you were once a person of prestige, possessing experience that we young ones cannot easily acquire. Personally, I'm very willing to be friends with you!"

Although Luo Chao knew Zuo Dahai intended to be friends with him for a reason, Luo Chao didn't mind at all.

Because, firstly, Luo Chao wasn't wrong in what he said; Zuo Dahai, having been a successful person, was brought low only because of gambling, not due to poor management leading to his business's bankruptcy.

So, as Luo Chao said earlier, indeed, Zuo Dahai carries with him a wealth of precious experience that can't be learned or bought.

And secondly, Luo Chao personally felt very indignant about Zuo Dahai's situation, especially after their brief exchange. Luo Chao was even more certain that Zuo Dahai is genuinely a loyal person who values friendship and brotherhood, and thus must be someone grateful and reciprocating.

Today, if Luo Chao can help Zuo Dahai successfully avenge and make a comeback, Luo Chao believes Zuo Dahai would be eternally grateful, unable to forget Luo Chao's help, remaining loyal throughout his life!

It was because of these two reasons that Luo Chao decided that today, Zuo Dahai would indeed become his friend, and Zuo Dahai's wish for revenge would also be fulfilled with Luo Chao's help!

Thinking of this, Luo Chao said to Zuo Dahai, "Uncle Zuo, since you want to be friends, why don't we add each other on WeChat? It'll be easier to stay in touch!"

"Hahaha, alright, young man, you're really forthright!" With that, Zuo Dahai pulled out his low-end domestic phone, scanned the QR code on Luo Chao's phone, and the two added each other as WeChat friends.

After they added each other on WeChat, Zuo Dahai continued telling his story...
