Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 366 - 147: For Such a Liar, the Punishment Is a Lifetime of Cooking and Washing Dishes After Marriage
"Alright!"
Su Zelin agreed cheerfully.
Sister Chen couldn’t help but feel happy.
Her driving nerves were originally not good, and the instructor was also a very serious person. Every time she got in the car, she was so nervous she could die, sometimes her hands and feet would even shake, but it was different when Su Zelin was beside her.
After all, he was a young guy, easygoing, and his explanations were detailed.
"Xiaosu, you must guide me well later, dear sister’s exam depends on your help!"
Su Zelin laughed and said, "Haha, no worries, Sister Chen, just relax. Driving a car is very simple!"
"Come on, let’s walk around the back of the car first, casually check the tires and such, and if there are no problems, let’s get in the car."
"Once we’re in the car, the first thing to remember is to always fasten your seatbelt first and then adjust the seat. Sister Chen, adjust it how you feel comfortable. If the seat is suitable, that’s good enough."
"If it were the exam, there’s even a little rhyme: get in and shout report, open the door and step out with your left foot, sit down and greet the examiner, smile with dimples..."
"..."
After a round of practice.
Starting with the pancake pressure, then the half-slope start, followed by a short road run, and finally the electronic stake.
Sister Chen got out of the car with a big smile, clearly satisfied with the practice just now.
Perhaps she was relaxed, or perhaps Su Zelin guided her well. Even the usually nerve-wracking pancake pressure, which is the "consecutive obstacles" in the second subject, she got through smoothly this time without hitting a single pancake. The troublesome half-slope start went smoothly too. Once she even rolled back, turning the instructor’s face green, but because she was a government reception office leader, he didn’t scold her.
There was just a little bump on the electronic stake, a slight flaw, but Sister Chen was already very happy, as this was a much higher quality practice compared to previous rounds.
She thought to herself that Xiaochen was really patient and easygoing, and learning to drive with this young man felt much more insightful.
The other students also got in the car to practice one by one. Su Zelin patiently acted as everyone’s co-driver, reminding them promptly when they made mistakes or incorrect operations.
It may seem like no big deal, but in doing so, all the leaders and wealthy students here owed him a small favor, making it much easier to ask for help from these people in the future.
After all, you paid the tuition, and the instructor teaching you is to be expected, but he had no obligation to be a co-driver. Even if the instructor designated him, people still owed him a favor invisibly.
This is why even though Su Zelin has mastered the skills, he still frequently goes to the driving school.
These small favors, whether they’ll be useful in the future or not, but earning them certainly doesn’t hurt.
When the instructor was rested enough and returned to the front passenger seat, Su Zelin went on to play cards.
The loafer put on an Oscar-winning performance, battling it out in a brutal card game with several leaders, and ended up losing some money.
"Xiaosu, your driving skills are top-notch, but there’s still room for improvement in your card playing skills."
An amused leader pointed this out and felt that the older ginger is spicier.
"You should learn from your dad on this matter. He’s much more seasoned on the card table. But this is something that requires play and experience. Among your peers, your card skills are already quite decent!"
Of course, the leaders didn’t know the loafer was just putting on an act.
If he wanted, he could leave these old hands completely defeated.
On the card tables of future QQ games, card counters were unnecessary for Su Zelin. His memory was so good that he remembered every card played, calculating what remained and what others possibly had in their hands.
The main thing was to please the leaders.
Of course, he wasn’t wealthy and couldn’t afford to give away money on the card table to butter them up. And the leaders wouldn’t feel right taking too much from a young one, if he lost too badly they might even feel embarrassed to accept, or not even let him join the game next time.
But losing a little is a different matter—it’s purely for enjoyment, the leaders would be delighted to win, and could even point out some directions and guide the younger ones.
Everyone spent a day practicing at the driving school, and on the way home, they practiced some road running, with students getting off at various drop-off points.
Su Zelin was the second to get off, and as he left, a leader remarked, "Su Jianjun’s son will not be easy to deal with in the future, I’m sure he’ll surpass his father!"
"That’s right, Su Jianjun is a well-rounded figure, but this young fellow might be even slicker than his dad, and he’s only eighteen!"
"It’s a pity he probably has no interest in working in an office. Otherwise, once he graduates, I’d consider recruiting him for the bureau. Having such talent would certainly save us effort!"
"..."
These leaders were all shrewd, having seen many outstanding young people in various organizations, but they had yet to encounter someone like Su Zelin.
This young man, just an adult, could mingle smoothly with people like them in such positions; his people skills were already on par with many seasoned veterans, and perhaps even exceeded them.

Willow Branch Lane, the Su family.
"Son, you’re back. How was the driving practice today? Went smoothly, right?"
Su Jianjun asked casually while drinking tea and reading the newspaper in the living room.
Both parents naturally knew that their son was going for driving practice.
Su Zelin was embracing it under the banner of acquiring another skill, and the registration fee and everything else were taken care of without using family money, so they couldn’t find a good reason to object.
In fact, Su Jianjun had long wanted to learn.
Su Zelin’s sense of novelty was inherited from Su’s dad, only the son’s desire for new things was stronger than the father’s.
