Cutting In and Crashing – Is This Your Driving School Instructor? 13

Chapter 13: The Photo on the Driver’s License

[No way, is he openly trying to steal students?]

[Exactly, can you say such things to someone’s face?]

[This guy is so annoying!]

…

Coach Ma’s words were unbearable not only to Gu Yin, but also to some viewers watching the show.

“No need.” Fortunately, the girl in the hoodie didn’t even look at Coach Ma, stating directly, “I have no intention of changing instructors.”

Her voice was a bit cold, and she had an air of keeping people at arm’s length, immediately giving Coach Ma the cold shoulder.

“No…”

Having been rebuffed, Coach Ma didn’t get angry; he still wanted to persuade her a little more. At this moment, Gu Yin couldn’t hold back:

“The contracts are already printed, they can’t be changed. If you’re short of students, find them yourself. You steal one, then teach another; are you even capable of teaching them all?”

Wherever there are people, there is scheming; the smaller the place, the more serious this phenomenon is.

Stealing students wasn’t something Coach Ma had never done before; Gu Yin wasn’t the only victim. The key is, this guy steals students, but doesn’t necessarily teach them all. Basically, they just register with him, and the students end up learning from other instructors…

And when the student passes the test, he still takes a commission. It’s basically a kind of “workplace bullying.”

Everyone was angry but dared not speak out. After all, he was the principal’s nephew.

Many instructors would inquire beforehand whether Coach Ma was around before signing up students. Gu Yin arrived early today and thought this trash wasn’t there, unexpectedly bumping into him.

It’s not easy to find a job in a small county. If this job weren’t relatively stable, Gu Yin would have beaten him up and quit a long time ago.

“…”

Coach Ma’s face immediately fell. After being rejected, he simply didn’t bother trying to persuade anymore. He glared at Gu Yin, then turned and left.

[Serves him right!]

[Get lost!]

This small incident didn’t affect the enrollment; it just gave some viewers watching the show a sense of satisfaction.

“Are you sure you don’t want to put on some makeup?”

While signing the contract, Gu Yin scratched his head. When Coach Ma leaned over to look at the girl’s appearance, he also glanced over. Although he didn’t see her full face, he could see through the slight glimpse of skin that the girl’s face seemed to be devoid of makeup.

Hearing this, the girl in the hoodie didn’t speak; it was the chubby Mengmeng who protested loudly:

“No, why do you insist that our Qian… why do you insist my friend put on makeup? Do you have some kind of fetish?”

“You’ve asked this several times, are you done yet?”

“These really are small-town driving instructors; their quality is just bad, a bunch of the same.”

Gu Yin seemed no different from the guy who just tried to steal students; they were both quite disappointing!

Not only them, even the hundreds of viewers watching the show were curious:

[No way, why does he insist on makeup?]

[This guy doesn’t seem to have any fetishes…]

[Haha… I roughly understand this; strictly speaking, I’m also a victim, but I’ll keep it a secret for now. You’ll find out later.]

[Okay, okay, another expert has arrived.]

…

Gu Yin shrugged, just about to explain…

Over there, the staff member in charge of registration suddenly pointed to an area and said, “Medical examination.”

“Okay.”

After Gu Yin responded, he put his arms around his chest, happily looking at the two of them, especially the girl in the hoodie…

He spread his hands and said:

“Although it’s a bit late to remind you now, but during the simple medical examination later, the photo taken by that machine will be the photo on your driver’s license.”

“If you don’t dress up properly, you’ll be stuck with this photo on your driver’s license for five or six years.”

“…”

After he finished speaking, Mengmeng and the girl in the hoodie were both slightly stunned…

Under the brim of her hat, the girl’s expression was unreadable, but her fair hand under her sleeve unconsciously clenched slightly.

The chubby Mengmeng’s mouth twitched wildly; her already less-than-attractive expression became even more ferocious…

[Pfft….]

Among the viewers, a group of “veteran drivers” who had obtained their licenses couldn’t help but burst out laughing; the barrage went wild:

[Hahaha… this is such a pitfall! I suffered from it back then!]

[Damn it, the driving school instructor didn’t remind me on the first day of enrollment. I went there in my pajamas, and the result was a sloppy photo in my pajamas on my driver’s license for five or six years!]

[Who hasn’t? When I took my driver’s license to test drive a car, the salesperson even asked me if I was the person in the photo. I really…]

…

The medical examination and photo taking during enrollment is indeed a pitfall because the photo you take on your first day of enrollment is the photo used for your entire driving school career. This photo will be used later on both your file and your driver’s license.

Many people don’t know this, initially thinking that it’s just about enrollment, at most practicing driving; it’s not like going out to meet beautiful women (or handsome guys), why dress up beautifully for who to see?

They didn’t dress up and went for the photo…

Until the day they got their driver’s license, they couldn’t help but wonder, isn’t there a photo on the driver’s license? It seemed like they were about to pass Level Four and get their license, why wasn’t there a requirement to upload a photo?

Only when they received their driver’s license and saw the incredibly “sloppy” photo did they realize that the photo had already been taken!

Gu Yin knew this, which is why he told the girl in the hoodie in advance…

Unfortunately, she seemed to have misunderstood.

Nowadays, girls seem to have a bit of persecution complex, always feeling that others want to harm them, so they go against the grain, ending up suffering themselves, tsk tsk tsk…

The girl in the hoodie was still fine, but the chubby Mengmeng completely broke down:

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?!” she shouted at Gu Yin.

“Didn’t I keep telling you to put on makeup?” Gu Yin stifled a laugh; “You had a persecution complex and wrongly accused a good person, and now you’re blaming me? You’re ungrateful!”

“You!”

Mengmeng was so angry that she looked like she was about to land her hefty fist on Gu Yin’s head.

[Ah hahaha…]

The audience laughed loudly; some said:

[Little Gu is really bad, you could just tell them directly, right?]

[I have reason to suspect that he did it on purpose!]

[Gu Yin: Don’t doubt it, I did it on purpose!]

…

The photo, actually, isn’t irreplaceable. However, most people are too lazy to change it. Who would bother going to the vehicle management office several times just for a driver’s license photo that you might only show a few times a year?

“Mengmeng.”

The girl in the hoodie didn’t break down like Mengmeng. She slightly raised her head, a pair of beautiful eyes under the gray brim of her hat showing a hint of helplessness. She glanced at Gu Yin and then walked towards the self-service machine.

“Take off your hat.”

Before entering the self-service medical examination machine, the staff member in charge of registration saw the girl wearing a hat and reminded her.

The girl hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly took off the gray hoodie hat.

The location of the self-service machine was sunny; the autumn sun was bright and dazzling. The sunlight happened to fall on her neat short hair, illuminating her fair and clear skin, and instantly revealing her distinctive facial features to everyone.

“…”

At that moment, the air in the registration room seemed to freeze. When that face appeared before everyone, everyone’s heart seemed to skip a beat.
