Chapter 287 Jiang Nian, the headlights on the front of the car seem to be broken, go and check them.

With a bang, Jiang Nian closed the car door.

“Hey, boss, don’t close it yet.”

“Huh?” Jiang Nian looked bewildered at Old Tian. “Coach, how do we practice driving with the door open?”

Tian Yongsheng was speechless for a long time, thinking, ‘You two are truly master and disciple.’

“Ahem, shouldn’t I first teach you how to adjust the seat, boss?”

Hearing this, Jiang Nian said, “Oh.”

He looked down and realized the seat was quite narrow, but because he had no chest, it wasn’t the classic’steering wheel feeding’ style.

“How do I adjust it?”

“There’s a switch here. Adjust the seat to a comfortable position,” Tian Yongsheng said, then added, “Just don’t lie down.”

Xi Bao, who was watching from the side, raised an eyebrow, thinking, ‘Is he talking about me?’

“Ha, I wasn’t talking about you, boss,” Coach Tian, being a decent man, said to Xi Bao, “This seat also needs fixing; it slides down with every movement.”

Jiang Nian adjusted the seat to a comfortable position, leaning back slightly in the driver’s seat.

“What’s next?”

Then, Coach Tian carefully explained the steps for driving, including how to turn the steering wheel, how to release the clutch, and various reference points.

He didn’t care if Jiang Nian could remember it, he just rattled off everything in a cramming style.

Generally, beginners who just started driving can’t remember all of it. But young people nowadays are smart; they’ll watch videos or ask others beforehand.

It’s better to teach too much than too little; at most, it’s just a bit of talking.

Jiang Nian hadn’t prepared, but because he listened attentively, he managed to remember it all.

Tian Yongsheng saw he was a bit confused and knew he hadn’t prepared. It was good he hadn’t, otherwise, what would he, the coach, be doing? A cheerleader? Or the mood setter?

Unlike ordinary coaches, Tian Yongsheng actually hoped his students would rely on him more. Simply put, he wanted them to think well of him and accumulate more favors.

Ideally, whenever they saw their driver’s license in the future, they would think of the gentle Old Tian.

Boss—Alright!! (Salute)

The first item for Subject Two was reverse parking. The first step was to drive the car out. He just needed to ignite the engine, let the car move forward, and then turn the steering wheel.

It was Jiang Nian’s first time driving, and his movements were a bit clumsy.

Xi Bao watched with her arms crossed throughout, and was deflated to find that Jiang Nian didn’t stall the car when starting and even completed the entire reverse parking maneuver.

“You said you never practiced!”

The second time, Jiang Nian’s reverse parking was visibly more skilled.

Not only were both sides precisely aligned, but even the timing of turning the steering wheel at specific reference points when entering the spot was perfectly controlled, quite flawless.

This was insane.

Not only was Xi Bao bewildered, but Coach Tian Yongsheng was also at a loss.

“Buddy, you…”

Coach Tian Yongsheng silently got out of the car and lit a cigarette.

“Boss, you drive yourself.”

“Alright.” Jiang Nian reversed again, still perfectly.

This time, Tian Yongsheng was also silent. After holding it in for a while, he couldn’t help but ask,

“Boss, do you know how to drive?”

Hearing this, Xi Bao also walked over and echoed,

“Yes, yes, you definitely practiced secretly. Maybe you secretly drove your family’s car, or you touched a car a long time ago and even practiced Subject Two.”

Jiang Nian listened to Xi Bao rambling on, only picking out the word “jealousy,” and couldn’t help but sigh.

“Teacher, do you know how to deal with Impurities when refining steel?”

Hearing this, Xi Bao was a bit confused.

“I’m not a science student, how would I deal with it?”

Jiang Nian grinned and said, “You have to refine it more.”

“You ungrateful wretch!” Xi Bao instantly gritted her teeth, throwing a flurry of Void Realm punches. “You’re the one who needs more practice! What are you showing off about driving?”

Jiang Nian laughed, “You’re getting agitated.”

Immediately, a storm of fierce punches followed.

Not far away, Tian Yongsheng watched them fighting, then squatted down and finished the entire cigarette.

He smoked until the ember was almost flaring up, still unable to figure out if Jiang Nian genuinely didn’t know or was pretending. He scraped the cigarette on the concrete ground, then stood up and said,

“Next boss, come on.”

Logically speaking, he was always a 1-on-1 private coach, the kind of VIP client who could call him anytime. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t serve two clients simultaneously.

But since both clients didn’t mind, he didn’t care either.

Xi Bao no longer practiced reverse parking; her confidence had been shattered by Jiang Nian. This time, she practiced parallel parking, which also had the intention of making it convenient for Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian watched from the side, and would learn faster when it was his turn.

“Drive straight, yes, keep going forward. When the bottom of the rearview mirror passes the red line, you can step on the brake, then check the right rearview mirror.”

“Boss, look at the right rearview mirror.”

“Oh, oh, the right side.” Xi Bao turned her head to the right.

Jiang Nian watched from the side. When it was his turn, Tian Yongsheng again explained everything carefully, sitting in the passenger seat and guiding him through the process.

“Did you remember?”

“Ah, I remembered, I guess.” Jiang Nian wasn’t too sure, and after a moment of thought, he said, “I remembered the steps, but I don’t know if I can execute them.”

Xi Bao, in the back seat, immediately said,

“Just take your time.”

Tian Yongsheng got out of the car. He felt relatively confident about Jiang Nian. He didn’t have to worry about him not stepping on the brake or frantically turning the steering wheel in a panic.

“Boss, you try it yourself.”

Xi Bao didn’t get out of the car. She sat in the back, intending to personally see how Jiang Nian would do.

“You drive.”

Jiang Nian didn’t even frown. “Oh.”

Parallel parking was still as precise as if it had been rehearsed.

Xi Bao was silent.

Coach Tian stood on the side, silently lighting a cigarette.

“No, have I become an NPC?”

Old Tian took two puffs of his cigarette, then held it in his hand as he walked over and knocked twice on the car door.

“Boss, tell me the truth, do you know how to drive?”

Jiang Nian couldn’t keep a straight face either. “Do I know how to drive a Jaguar?”

Xi Bao in the back seat gasped immediately, excitedly saying,

“You said you don’t know how to drive!”

“Teacher, Jaguar means…” Jiang Nian stopped halfway through, then turned to the coach. “I swear, I really haven’t learned.”

Tian Yongsheng was bewildered, scratching his head.

“In all my years in this profession, this is the first time I’ve seen such a gifted boss like you.”

Xi Bao was even more bewildered, automatically got out of the car, and squatted by the roadside pulling weeds.

How miserable.

Her reputation was ruined.

There were more than just the two of them practicing driving at the school. There were also two other coaches, each with four or five students practicing Subject Two, and their treatment was quite ordinary.

There were constant shouts and various scoldings.

“See that tree? Hit it!”

“Ah, Coach, isn’t that bad?”

“If you know it’s bad, why aren’t you stepping on the brake! Step on the brake!”

“But, but, Coach, where’s the brake?”

“On my face.”

Several students around, plus the coach next door, were all watching the show. Forget about civilized learning; it was already good if they maintained their composure.

Xi Bao stood at the parallel parking spot, tall and fashionably dressed.

She instantly attracted a lot of attention, and several men had been glancing over for a long time. However, due to the coach’s presence, they could only watch from afar.

After half an hour, Tian Yongsheng saw that Jiang Nian had even mastered hill starts and S-curves. Just then, someone called him for tea, so he simply became a hands-off manager.

Now Xi Bao was driving, and Jiang Nian was watching from the passenger seat.

If he noticed anything wrong, he could just step on the brake.

Jiang Nian learned from Xi Bao that she had already completed the entire Subject Two. She was just practicing because her operation was a little unfamiliar.

“Teacher, you’re really amazing.”

Xi Bao was nervous, gripping the steering wheel with both hands. Hearing him, she glanced at him.

“Don’t talk to the driver, do you want to die?!”

“I’m not scared, there’s a brake in the passenger seat.” Jiang Nian grinned cheekily. “Teacher, you keep driving. I’ve already finished Subject Two and can take the test directly.”

Xi Bao was furious, gripping the steering wheel tightly.

“Ah, Jiang Nian, the headlight seems to be broken, can you go down and take a look?”

“No way, you bad woman.” Jiang Nian’s smile became increasingly unrestrained. He glanced ahead and warned, “Teacher, it looks like someone is blocking the road ahead.”

Hearing this, Xi Bao also became a bit nervous.

“What should we do then?”

“Hit them!”

“Don’t talk nonsense, should I step on the brake?”

Jiang Nian said, “Honk the horn, they’ll move.”

“Where’s the horn?” Xi Bao was a little flustered.

“In my mouth, beep beep beep!!”
