Manager Liu glanced at the anchor's face, which was twisted with anger as he spoke.

"Uh... Manager, you're joking. I just happened to be there. It was simply the right thing to do." Since he said that, Xia Liang felt he couldn't just hang up the phone.

After witnessing the anchor's craziness, hearing Xia Liang's composed and modest response made Manager Liu feel even more relieved. Comparisons really do make all the difference, he thought. He rolled his eyes at the anchor and continued.

"We've prepared a reward of one point for you. Of course, we know you don't need it, but it's a token of our appreciation. We'll also be informing the entire DiDi driver community about your good deed so that everyone can be proud of you."

He had, admittedly, blurted out the bonus just to infuriate the woman.

Xia Liang didn't really care about these things and replied casually, "As long as you don't make me shoot any commercials, that's fine."

Hearing Xia Liang's words, the creases in Manager Liu's smile deepened considerably. This young man is really a good person, he thought.

"Don't worry, we won't. It's getting late, so I won't disturb you any longer. I'm hanging up now."

After hanging up, Manager Liu looked at the anchor, who still hadn't left, and raised an eyebrow. "You're still here? My shift is over."

This dismissive attitude made the anchor tremble with rage. She stomped out furiously in her high heels.

「」

Meanwhile, after Xia Liang hung up, his car wash was finished. Taking advantage of the lull in orders, he pulled over and walked into a small roadside supermarket to buy a bottle of water.

When he walked out of the store with his drink, he was surprised to see that a heavily made-up, scantily clad woman with large, blue-dyed waves in her hair had appeared in front of his car.

She was standing at the front of the vehicle, holding up her phone and striking various poses for the camera. It wasn't hard to guess she was taking selfies.

Xia Liang didn't mind. As long as she didn't do anything drastic that might damage the car, how she took photos was her business.

Since he had no new orders anyway, Xia Liang found a stone bollard by the road and sat down. He sipped his happy water while silently watching her strike pose after pose for her phone, using every trick she knew.

Because he was so close and staring so intently, even the selfie-absorbed woman with the blue hair soon noticed Xia Liang.

She rolled her eyes at him. "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman taking selfies? You pervert, you freak!"

Hearing this, Xia Liang was taken aback and frowned slightly. "Sorry, you've misunderstood. I wasn't looking at you. I was looking at the car behind you."

The woman with the blue hair sized up Xia Liang and snorted with disdain. "What's there to look at? You don't look rich. Do you even know how much this car costs?"

Xia Liang asked with genuine interest, "Oh? How much?"

Looking down on him as if he were a country bumpkin, she replied boastfully, "This is a Hui Teng, not a Volkswagen, okay? It's a luxury sedan, you get it? This car alone costs dozens of Yuan! No matter how much you stare, this car will never be yours. You could never afford it!"

Xia Liang didn't argue the point, instead asking, "Hearing you talk like that, I take it you can afford this car?"

The woman paused for a moment before shaking her head. "Of course I can't afford it, but I'm different from you!"

"How so?"

"You're a man, and I'm a woman. Even though I can't afford this car, I can hook its owner!" As she spoke, she proudly thrust out her chest, completely missing the strange expression growing on Xia Liang's face. "As they say, even a hero can't resist a beautiful woman. If I can snag the owner of this car, then the car will naturally become mine. Even if I can't be his wife, being a mistress or a lover is fine too! I'll get a house, a car, and a monthly allowance of one-tenth. Isn't that the good life? But you're different. As a man with no money, how are you any different from useless trash?"

Hearing this, Xia Liang raised an eyebrow. He wasn't particularly offended by her words.

In fact, that's just how the world is today. Society scorns the poor, not the prostitute. What good is clinging to a few scraps of righteousness and morality? Being a true whore is at least better than being one while pretending to be a saint.

But...

Xia Liang scrutinized the woman from top to bottom before silently shaking his head.

To be a kept woman, you need to have the right capital for it. If you're just a farm-raised sow demanding the treatment of a giant panda, isn't that just wishful thinking? Honestly, apart from her impressive bust, there wasn't a single other positive trait to be found on this woman. And that makeup... it glittered so much under the sun that anyone who didn't know better would think a vanity mirror had come to life. Other people might have different opinions, but as far as Xia Liang was concerned, even if he were looking to keep a mistress, she wouldn't even make the list. Of course, it was possible some tycoon out there had a unique taste. Who knows, maybe some people are into sentient vanity mirrors.

Xia Liang wasn't one for lying, so he chose to follow his gut. He looked at her and said with a straight face, "Forgive my frankness, but when it comes to being kept, I don't think you qualify."

As soon as these words were out, the woman fell silent for a few seconds. Then, her rage exploded, and she roared at Xia Liang.
