Chapter 3

Chapter 3071: Application

The male dispatcher just looked at Lin Yi, completely at a loss.

"You're so young, why do you dream of driving a big truck? Young man, that's not right."

"Anyway, I'm young, so it's not a big problem."

"I can't make the decision on this. I'm only responsible for the cargo yard's scheduling."

As he spoke, the male dispatcher pulled Lin Yi to one side and pointed to a few lit windows on the first floor of the large office building.

"109, that's the dispatch room. You'll have to talk to them about the specifics, but I don't think they'll agree."

"Why not?"

"Because you have no experience," the male dispatcher said.

"Driving in the city and driving long distances are two different things. It's not something you can just do if you want to. There are risks involved, and you should know that."

"I understand," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"I'll go check it out."

"Alright, go ahead."

Lin Yi patted his pocket and took out two packs of cigarettes. "Bro, take them and smoke."

Seeing the cigarettes Lin Yi offered, the male dispatcher was startled. He realized that each pack cost over a hundred yuan, and two packs would be 300 yuan.

"No, no, no, these cigarettes are too expensive. I can't afford them."

"What can't you afford? Just enjoy them."

After a brief exchange, Lin Yi didn't give him a chance to refuse. He left the cigarettes and went to the large office.

However, he also felt that it might be difficult.

Running long-distance freight is inherently dangerous.

Courier companies typically hire drivers with at least five years of driving experience.

The driver's license wasn't a big issue.

The Zhongwei Travel had already taken care of that for him.

But he was too young, and anyone with a clear eye could see that he lacked the required experience. Naturally, they wouldn't agree to this.

If he were in their position, he wouldn't agree either, so it was a bit difficult.

Slowly, Lin Yi arrived at the large office.

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

What surprised Lin Yi a bit was that there were people around his age, or just a year or two older.

This gave Lin Yi some hope.

Lin Yi's appearance drew the attention of many people.

Men and women were sizing him up.

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

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

"This handsome guy, why does he look familiar?" a female dispatcher muttered.

The female dispatcher's name was Chen Dantong. She had a baby face and a ponytail.

Even in her work uniform, she looked young and cute.

"Your memory is too poor. He came here a few days ago."

"Right, right, I remember now," Chen Dantong said.

"I heard he came to see Liu Wenlin a few days ago, and then Liu Wenlin was fired. I heard it was an order from the group."

"But I'm a bit puzzled. I heard he's just a courier at a branch. How could he successfully report Liu Wenlin and get an order from the group? That's strange, they're not even on the same level."

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

"What? Could he be kept by a high-ranking leader in the group?" another female colleague said gossipy.

"I don't know if he's being kept, but I happened to pass by and saw General Manager Zhou talking to him, and he seemed quite polite."

"Wow, really? General Manager Zhou was polite to him? If you say so, maybe there's something to it."

"But the question is, what is he doing here so late at night?"

"Who knows? We're just employees, and a guy like him is not for us."

While speaking, the female colleague winked at Chen Dantong.

"My looks definitely won't do, but you could give it a try."

"No, no, no, I know myself well. Even with ten levels of beauty filters, I can barely pass as a six. I'm not good enough for him."

"But you have a great figure," the female colleague said.

"Besides, it's not like you're dating him. Just being with such a handsome guy would be a huge gain."

"Ha ha, you married women are so bold, but I like it," Chen Dantong said slyly.

"So, if there's a chance, you should take it. If there's no chance, create one."

"Alright, get back to work. Don't waste time on this."

Standing among the crowd, Lin Yi observed the situation inside.

Through their conversations, he understood the general situation.

These people were long-distance freight drivers who needed to get their tickets here before they could set off.

Although there were many people, the process was quick, and it was soon Lin Yi's turn. Chen Dantong was the one who greeted him.

"Are you switching to driving a big truck?"

"You remember me?"

"Aren't you the courier from Xing Sheng Home? I saw you here once before."

"I'm not switching, but I have something to discuss with you privately. Is it convenient?"

"Ah? Privately?"

Chen Dantong knew that someone as handsome as Lin Yi wouldn't have any ulterior motives, but even so, his request made her a bit excited.

"Alright, let's go outside and talk."

Chen Dantong didn't hesitate. Who could resist a handsome guy like Lin Yi?

The others were fine, but some of the drivers around Lin Yi's age watched the two leave the dispatch room, their eyes filled with curiosity.

"What are they doing? They actually went out together? Could something be going on?"

The speaker was in his thirties, sitting on the sofa in the dispatch room. He was dressed simply and was named Li Qi, also a long-distance driver.

"Old Zhang, be careful. They might cause trouble."

The man called Old Zhang, named Zhang Gang, sat next to Li Qi, smoking with a not-so-good expression.

"It's unlikely anything will happen. I know Chen Dantong; she's not the type to mess around. She's very proper."

"I trust her character, but is that new guy a driver? I've never seen him before."

"It's unlikely. We're the youngest in this batch of drivers, and he's even younger than us. He looks so delicate. The large office probably wouldn't hire someone like him without any experience."

"We'll see. Let's wait and see what happens."

By the time they finished talking, Lin Yi and Chen Dantong had already reached the corner of the stairs.

"What's the matter? No one is here, so you can speak directly."

"The situation is like this: the driver who was supposed to deliver the cargo got injured. I brought the cargo here and want to take his place for the long-distance trip tonight. Can you help me with this?"

"Ah? You want to take his place and drive the big truck?"
