CHAPTER 457: CHAPTER 287: THE HIGHEST DEFINITION OF CONNECTIONS

October 31st, evening.

After evening study session ended, Lin Li didn’t return home immediately but instead followed the address on his phone to the driving school’s registration point.

"Coach Yu?"

Seeing the middle-aged man waiting under the "Xiren Driving School" sign, Lin Li parked his bike and locked it before asking.

"Yes, that’s me, Lin Li, right?" Upon hearing this, Yu Jian’an turned his head, and upon seeing Lin Li, he immediately responded.

"Yeah." Lin Li nodded.

"Come on in." Having already been in touch via phone, Yu Jian’an quickly gestured for Lin Li to follow him inside.

"You’ve brought everything, right? You have the medical examination form, right?"

Leading Lin Li into an office, Yu Jian’an gestured for Lin Li to sit opposite him while he sat in front of a computer, asking at the same time.

"I’ve got everything you mentioned on WeChat right here." Lin Li took out a folder from his backpack, containing copies of his household registration and ID, as well as the vehicle management office’s medical exam report that he had just received.

It’s necessary to have a medical examination to get a driver’s license. The examination covers basic items like eyesight and height.

Although Lin Li had undergone a medical exam a few days ago, reports from private institutions are not recognized.

Fortunately, it’s very convenient now. The 24-hour service area of the Nansang Vehicle Management Office has a self-service medical check-up machine that can be used at any time without needing to visit the office or a designated hospital during working days for another test.

Lin Li used the machine after school yesterday, but since manual verification is only available during the day, he received the approved report today.

"That’s no problem; these are enough. I’ll enter the information for you, and your system file should be ready by tomorrow."

Yu Jian’an, with a cigarette behind his ear, placed it in his mouth without lighting it, and began to type away on the computer as he spoke.

"Okay, Coach. Then, I’ve already practiced all the questions for Subject One. When is the earliest I can schedule the exam?" Lin Li nodded, then asked.

Having squeezed in practice during the break after the National Day trip, coupled with his perfect memory, Lin Li could correctly answer any questions in the question bank.

He was at a level where he wouldn’t fail.

"This kind of thing can’t be rushed. To sign up for Subject One, you must complete the mandatory study hours first, but you can’t do that until your file is ready. Also, you can only take the exam on weekends, right?" Yu Jian’an leaned back in his chair and spread his hands at Lin Li.

"That’s right." Lin Li nodded.

Xue Jian probably wouldn’t approve of him taking leave to get a driver’s license and might scold him. It was certain he could only take the exam on weekends.

"It’ll take quite a while for this. Even after completing the study hours, scheduling is tough, as weekend slots are the hardest to get. You probably won’t get it in the next two weeks, and if you’re unlucky, you might not even book it next month." Yu Jian’an shook his head as he spoke.

Lin Li frowned slightly upon hearing this.

A month for just Subject One alone was a bit too long.

If things go like this, he might not even have his license by New Year.

He’s already made grand claims, though it wasn’t entirely his fault.

"Isn’t Xiren Driving School known as the best, though not the most expensive, driving school at Xiling? Can’t you do anything?" Lin Li asked with a frown.

Lin Li chose this place for convenience.

"Of course, but our reputation is for our service, training facilities, and vehicles, not for scheduling slots,"

After finishing, Yu Jian’an took the unlit cigarette from his mouth, spun it between his fingers a couple of times, and glanced at Lin Li’s phone to ensure it wasn’t recording. He lowered his voice slightly:

"If you’re really in a rush, Lin Li, I do have some personal connections that might help you snag an appointment..."

Hearing this, Lin Li smiled.

It wasn’t a mocking smile; Lin Li nodded, even somewhat relieved. "No problem, Coach Yu. As long as your connections are reliable, I can definitely pay extra."

Seeing Lin Li was so astute, Yu Jian’an’s eyes brightened.

"Rest assured, Lin Li, my connections are rock solid!" Yu Jian’an appeared quite proud as he picked up his Apple phone, waving it in front of Lin Li, "Let me tell you, I got this phone through bargaining on Pinduoduo."

Lin Li: "?!"

Lin Li was stunned, feeling suddenly impressed.

This network was beyond ordinary; to acquire a phone through Pinduoduo bargaining, this guy was terrifyingly remarkable, not someone to underestimate.

"Then I’ll leave it to you, Coach." Lin Li nodded.

It was settled.

"Rest assured, it’s worth the money. I’ll have someone at the vehicle management office in person, which is quicker than online. With my acquaintances there, pulling a few strings will definitely get you the earliest slot. If not, I’ll refund every penny."

Yu Jian’an assured confidently, patting his chest.

"Alright, my goal is to get my driver’s license before the lunar New Year." Lin Li nodded.

"Then there’s no problem; with me here, as long as you don’t fail, and follow my arrangement, you’ll definitely get it. Don’t even mention New Year; normally, you could pass by New Year’s Day."

Yu Jian’an snapped his fingers and said confidently.

"Thank you for your help, Coach," Lin Li politely nodded.

"By the way, why are you in such a hurry to get a driver’s license, if you don’t mind me asking?" Yu Jian’an continued typing on the keyboard. His mouth, bored, casually asked.

"No problem at all, it’s just that I’ve arranged to pick up a friend during New Year’s."

It wasn’t something to hide, Lin Li answered.

"Wow, you just turned eighteen a few days ago, and contacted me yesterday, you’re really in a hurry,"

Glancing at the data, Yu Jian’an raised an eyebrow teasingly, then shook his head, showing a hint of nostalgia:
