Urban Film and Television: Jiang Lai is the Top Choice

"This is a huge problem. This car isn't cheap, is it?"

"Not bad, over 700,000!"

Upon hearing the number 700,000, Peng Jiahe chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "700,000 is indeed not a big problem for you. Let's go!"

Yang Chu smiled and led Peng Jiahe to a barbecue restaurant.

When Yang Chu parked the car, everyone eating barbecue turned to look at Yang Chu and Peng Jiahe.

Peng Jiahe nervously grabbed Yang Chu's arm and said, "Why are they all staring at us?"

Yang Chu shook his head nervously and said, "How would I know!"

As soon as Yang Chu finished speaking, one of the restaurant owners looked at him and asked, "Are you two here for barbecue?"

Yang Chu nodded and said, "That's right, we're here for barbecue."

Upon hearing Yang Chu's answer, the owner quickly smiled and said, "Would you two like to eat outside or inside? We have private rooms with air conditioning."

Yang Chu looked at Peng Jiahe and asked, "Shall we eat outside, or in a private room?"

Peng Jiahe thought for a moment and said, "Let's eat outside!"

Yang Chu nodded and looked at the boss, saying, "You heard it too, we're eating out. Could you please make arrangements for us?"

"Okay, okay, please come this way."

After Yang Chu and Peng Jiahe sat down, the owner quickly brought over the skewers.

Yang Chu and Peng Jiahe picked up the skewers and started eating.

But the boss remained standing beside Yang Chu and the others, without leaving.

Yang Chu looked at the boss with some surprise and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"What would you like to drink?"

Yang Chu only realized what was going on when the boss asked him the question. People usually drink beer when they eat barbecue skewers, or at the very least, some carbonated drinks.

Peng Jiahe looked at the shopkeeper with some confusion and asked, "Don't we have jujube tea here? Why do I need to order another drink?"

Just as the shopkeeper was about to answer, Yang Chu smiled and said to him, "She's still a child, so don't give her any alcohol. Just give her a bottle of fruit beer! I'll pass; I drove here."

The boss chuckled and said, "Alright!"

After the shop owner left, Peng Jiahe looked at Yang Chu and asked, "Why did you have to order a drink?"

"It's not necessary to order drinks. Beer with barbecue is the norm. Even non-drinkers will have some fruit beer or something similar."

Peng Jiahe shook his head, still somewhat confused.

Just then, the owner opened the fruit peel, looked at Peng Jiahe, and said, "Judging from your appearance, you two probably don't eat at barbecue stalls often, right?"

Yang Chu and Peng Jiahe both nodded.

Peng Jiahe looked at the boss and said, "We've only just returned to China not long ago, is there a problem with that?"

The owner smiled and said, "People who come to barbecue stalls usually don't drive, because they know they'll definitely drink alcohol, and hiring a designated driver isn't cost-effective."

"Then just don't drink!"

The owner laughed and said, "Barbecue without beer is soulless."

After saying that, the boss turned and left.

Peng Jiahe was still puzzled and looked at Yang Chu, asking, "Why do we have to drink beer when we eat barbecue?"

"It cuts through the grease! Eating barbecue alone can get a bit oily, so drinking some beer is just right, which is why it's become the norm. If you don't believe me, try eating these skewers with fruit beer; it definitely feels much better than just eating skewers on its own."

Peng Jiahe tried it tentatively, and it was indeed as Yang Chu had said: the greasy feeling in his mouth was broken down by the bubbles in the fruit peel.

Peng Jiahe sensed Xinying smiling and then asked Yang Chu, "Why don't you drink beer or fruit beer?"

Yang Chu smiled wryly and pointed to the car, saying, "I drove here. If I had drunk fruit beer or beer, that would be considered drunk driving and I would be detained."

Peng Jiahe nodded knowingly and said, "There are so many rules! By the way, is your driver's license from the US or China?"

Peng Jiahe's question really stumped Yang Chu, as he hadn't really paid attention to the driver's license issue.

Yang Chu then quickly summoned the system.

"System, are my driver's license and other documents all from China?"

"Ding, no! Your documents are all original. If you want to replace them, you need to do it yourself."

"Holy crap! Does that mean I'm driving without a license now?"

"Ding, strictly speaking, the host is indeed driving without a license in China."

Yang Chu's expression immediately darkened when he heard what the system said.

"Can you help me switch my driver's license?"

"Ding! No!"

Just as Yang Chu was communicating with the system, Peng Jiahe noticed that Yang Chu's expression was not good.

"What's wrong? You don't have a driver's license, do you?"

Yang Chu whispered to Peng Jiahe, "My driver's license is from the United States, so it can't be used in China."

Peng Jiahe said dismissively, "And then?"

Yang Chu continued to whisper to Peng Jiahe, "I'm driving without a license now. If I get caught, I'll go to jail."

Peng Jiahe looked at Yang Chu in disbelief and said, "Really? What should we do now?"

Yang Chu said helplessly, "Now I can only find a designated driver to take my car back so I can exchange my domestic driver's license for another one as soon as possible."

Peng Jiahe thought for a moment and said, "Do you want me to come with you? I think my driver's license is from the U.S. too."

Yang Chu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You probably can't get a replacement. In China, you have to be eighteen to get a driver's license, unlike in the U.S. where you can get one at sixteen."

Peng Jiahe nodded and said, "I see! Then you'll have to take the exam by yourself."

After saying that, Peng Jiahe started eating his barbecue and ignored Yang Chu.

Yang Chu sighed helplessly and called the boss over.

The shopkeeper walked over and asked Yang Chu, "Is there anything else you need?"

"Can you help me find a designated driver?"

"Uh... no problem!"

"Then I'll trouble you, boss. Could you bring me two more bottles of fruit beer?"

"it is good!"

When Yang Chu and Peng Jiahe were halfway through their meal, their designated driver arrived.

Yang Chu smiled and handed the car keys to the designated driver, saying, "Just take the car to the hotel. Give the keys to the front desk. My room number is 1314."

The driver paused for a moment, then looked at Yang Chu and said, "Sir, aren't you coming back with me?"

"I'll go back with her later, so don't worry about it! Just make sure the car is safely delivered."

The driver nodded and said, "Okay!"

After the designated driver left, Yang Chu looked at Peng Jiahe and said, "You came to see me today, something must have happened again, right?"

Peng Jiahe put down the skewers and looked at Yang Chu, saying, "You said yesterday that Lu Yuan has his own path to walk and can't stay with me forever. I want to ask you, is that true?"

Yang Chu nodded and said, "Of course it's true. Everyone has to walk their own path after reaching a certain age, otherwise, they're going to live off their parents for the rest of their lives, right?"
