This is a small western-style building. The lobby on the first floor is the reception room, and there are two staff members working there.

Zhou Yan pulled Tang Tang straight through the door. He looked around and found that there were a lot of people queuing up.

Basically, there was a long queue in front of every staff member.

"For what?"

A security guard came over.

"Come to rent a car."

Zhou Yan showed an innocent smile.

"Rent a car? Just the two of you?"

The security guard felt that Zhou Yan was a bit friendly, so he smiled and handed over a cigarette. Zhou Yan took it away and waved his hand: "I won't smoke."

"If you want to rent a car, just queue up here, but the buses have been dispatched, so it's probably difficult to rent a bus."

The security guard said that he was in charge of security. Seeing Zhou Yan and Tang Tang dressed as students, he didn't care too much.

"Okay, thank you, uncle." Tang Tang said with a smile. When the security guard left, she pulled the corner of Zhou Yan's clothes and whispered, "Shitou, do we really want to rent a car?"

Just now she asked Zhou Yan which way to take to school, Zhou Yan said bus, we rent one ourselves.

You can also collect taxi fares from other students.

The place we are visiting now is the bus rental center at Hongcheng Station, which is located diagonally opposite the bus station in the corridor of Hongcheng Station.

Tang Tang still felt that Zhou Yan was a little whimsical.

After all, even if you rent a car, who is willing to ride in it, and who is willing to trust you?

But for some reason, Tang Tang somehow believed in Zhou Yan.

After all, the advice Zhou Yan gave to the fat boss lady before was very effective.

But renting a car should be very expensive. I wonder if Zhou Yan’s money is enough. Tang Tang is thinking that if Zhou Yan’s money is not enough, he can use hers as a cushion.

Zhou Yan looked around and realized something in his mind: "Let's rent it."

"But we have to wait in a long queue." Tang Tang whispered.

Zhou Yan glanced at the team and estimated that if only 10% of these people could rent a car, they would be thankful to God. He said: "There is no need to go to such trouble."

"Then how do we rent it?" Tang Tang was a little confused.

Zhou Yan smiled slightly: "Go upstairs."

"ah?"

"Just follow me."

....

This is the doorway of a room, with the name Manager's Office written on the door plate.

The door was not opened, but the duty list above clearly said on duty, indicating that someone was working inside.

"Stone, is this really okay for us?"

Tang Tang pulled Zhou Yan's sleeve and asked nervously.

She didn't expect that Zhou Yan would pull her directly upstairs. Forget it, he was still in a manager's office.

Zhou Yan wouldn't go to the manager here directly. No matter how much Tang Tang thought about it, he felt that this was a bit unreliable.

"It's okay, trust me."

Zhou Yan touched Tang Tang's little head.

He glanced at the door number above and said, "Wait for me at the door."

He remembered that in his previous life, he came here directly to rent a car.

It was in 2018. At that time, Zhou Yan brought his team to Hongcheng to dig up self-media IPs. He also came here and rented a bus.

There is surplus bus capacity, so bus companies are allowed to lease some buses.

The office Zhou Yan came to was the office of Luyuan Public Transport Group Co., Ltd., the largest bus company in Hongcheng.

The business was also discussed in this manager's office.

It's just that he was invited to come up at that time, but now he comes up on his own initiative.

Seeing how confident Zhou Yan was, Tang Tang still chose to believe Zhou Yan and said, "Okay."

Zhou Yan nodded, walked up and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

A strong voice came from inside the door.

Zhou Yan opened the door and walked in.

Soon, a sense of coolness came over me. This was a unique smell in the hot summer, the smell of the air conditioner in the office.

Zhou Yan glanced at it and saw that there were air conditioners, desks, sofas and printers.

Well, standard office layout.

There was no one sitting at the desk, but two people were sitting on the sofa.

One is an old man with gray hair, and the other is a middle-aged man, about forty or fifty years old.

I knew the old man Zhou Yan, whose surname was Hu. The person who introduced Zhou Yan to the old man and called him Lao Hutou.

Different from the decadence Zhou Yan saw at the beginning, Lao Hutou was particularly energetic at this time. He was smoking Hongtashan, which was neither expensive nor cheap.

The middle-aged man was sipping hot tea with a relaxed expression, as if he was not too surprised by the arrival of Zhou Yan and Tang Tang.

Zhou Yan took a look at the West Lake Longjing tea jar placed on the tea table and made a basic judgment on this person's identity.

To entertain others with tea, Zhou Yan's office in his previous life also prepared Pu'er, Longjing and other precious teas in case of emergencies.

The middle-aged man tasting tea was either a guest or Lao Hutou's superior, but since he was the only one tasting tea, the latter was more likely.

Zhou Yan seemed to have seen this middle-aged man somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while. He didn't know what interaction he had with this middle-aged man in his previous life.

However, it shouldn't be too deep, otherwise, he wouldn't have only a slightly specious impression.

The old bearded man who was smoking was slightly startled when he saw a young man coming and said, "Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, who is in charge here?"

Zhou Yan asked.

Although Zhou Yan had been to this place in his previous life, he still had to ask as usual to make sure it was appropriate.

Otherwise, it would be a bit embarrassing if something went wrong.

Although Zhou Yan knew Lao Hutou well, the middle-aged man who appeared here was obviously not a good person.

"What is wrong with me?"

Lao Hutou shook the ashes from his cigarette, and then asked Zhou Yan.

"Hello, I'm here to rent a car." Zhou Yan smiled slightly.

"Rent a car?" Old Hutou smiled, pinched his cigarette, and said, "The rental car is downstairs, what are you doing here?"

"There are too many people downstairs, so of course we need to find someone in charge."

Zhou Yan smiled slightly.

"So you came here?"

Lao Hutou gave Zhou Yan a meaningful look. This was the first time he saw someone who rented a car and came directly to the manager's office.

Zhou Yan smiled and nodded.

Lao Hutou didn't chase him away immediately. Zhou Yan gave him a very calm feeling, which he couldn't figure out. After all, he had seen young people several times, and he had rarely seen anyone as neither humble nor overbearing as Zhou Yan.

Old Hutou thought for a while and asked: "What unit do you belong to? You are so young. Are you a student?"

"Rebirth." Zhou Yan said bluntly.

"Freshman? College student? From which university?"

The middle-aged man enjoying the tea also looked over meaningfully at this time and asked.

His voice was not as loud as before, but it was still full of energy.

"Hongcheng University." Zhou Yan smiled.

"Hongcheng University...well, it's a good university."

The middle-aged man nodded after receiving Zhou Yan's response, but continued to taste the tea. When the tea bottomed out, he added more for himself without saying anything else.

"A new student at Hongcheng University?" Old Hutou was a little confused, "You want to rent a bus? How many people can use it?"

Zhou Yan looked very energetic, and Lao Hutou couldn't help but take a few more glances. Even if Zhou Yan said that he was a junior student, he believed him. However, Zhou Yan was actually a freshman, which surprised him.

After all, Lao Hutou had never seen freshmen coming out of Hongcheng Station and reporting to the university before. In comparison, Zhou Yan seemed more mature, more stable, and more confident.

Zhou Yan said with a smile: "Hongcheng University belongs to Qianhu University Town. There are three universities nearby, including Hongcheng Normal University, Hongcheng University of Science and Technology, and Hongcheng Hangzhou University. I just looked outside. Hongcheng Station is

There is a direct line to Qianhu University Town.”

"The young man understands it quite well. Don't tell me that you want to rent this through line, right?"

Old Hutou looked at Zhou Yan meaningfully.

Buses can use this through line, but the procedures for renting a car are very complicated, and because of the through line, the price will go up. Lao Hutou doesn't believe that Zhou Yan can afford this money.

However, he was still not sure. If the university paid for a student representative to rent a car, he would not let it go unnoticed.

"Are you rich?" Old Hutou thought for a while and then added this question.

"No." Zhou Yan shook his head.

Now he is just a student with no money.

The family has paid off the tuition fees for this school year, and now all Zhou Yan has with him is this month's food expenses and the necessary expenses for purchasing some daily necessities.

About 700 yuan.

Zhou Yan's family is not very wealthy. When Zhou Yan just graduated from high school, his family barely paid off the money they owed to relatives for building a house.

Therefore, there is really not much for Zhou Yan.

And this seven hundred yuan obviously does not fall into the category of what Lao Hutou calls "rich". As for those who use Tangtang, Tangtang's mother works in a bank, and with a large amount of money left by her ex-husband, her life is quite good.

rich.

Tang Tang's monthly living expenses are two thousand yuan, which is much more than Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan could ask Tang Tang to borrow it, but it's not necessary.

"If you don't have money, why would you rent a car if you don't have money?"

Lao Hutou took a deep breath from the cigarette, shook his head and smiled.

He just thought it was this young man's whim.

I want to take shortcuts and detours.

Since he is not a student representative, there is no need for him to talk to this young man.

Mr. Xia is here, so I can't neglect Mr. Xia.

Old Hutou waved his hand and said, "If there's nothing else, just go out."

Seeing that Zhou Yan hadn't left, Old Hutou said seriously: "Do you want me to invite you out?"
