Chapter 429
Ling Yanyan took a boat directly to Zhanzhou. On the way, he arrived at Echeng and needed to get off to transfer.
After he stepped off the large ship, he stood on the dock. Although Ling Yanyan was very powerful, he was still not used to sitting on a ship.
It felt so good to have solid ground under my feet. Ling Yanyan stretched and prepared to go to Goose City to rest.
At the dock, many rickshaw drivers were watching the people disembarking from the boat.
Several of the drivers' eyes lit up when they saw Ling Yanyan. Judging from his demeanor and attire, they could tell he was no ordinary person.
As Ling Yanyan walked towards the outside of the dock, several coachmen followed him.
They walked beside Ling Yanyan, introducing themselves with great enthusiasm.
Ling Yanyan wasn't very satisfied with the people he met when a dark-skinned, fat man ran over and caught his attention.
Although this guy looks dark and fat, he has strong legs and moves very nimbly.
He squeezed through the crowd of rickshaw drivers, flashing eight teeth and smiling as he promoted himself.
"Sir, would you like a ride? My rickshaw is stable and fast, and I guarantee it's great value for money."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yanyan found the coachman interesting and somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
Before Ling Yanyan could speak, the surrounding coachmen, having heard Zhang Dadan's words, became dissatisfied.
"Zhang Dadan, what's wrong with you? How could you break the rules?"
"Exactly, didn't you see we already took our seats? How dare you squeeze in?"
"If everyone were like you, would anyone still be able to do business at the dock?"
They were very displeased with Zhang Dadan. They were never as good at talking as Zhang Dadan, and now this guy dared to squeeze in and steal their business.
Zhang Dadan wasn't afraid of them at all. He scratched his head, chuckled, and said, "It's not my fault. If you were capable, this gentleman would have already chosen you. But he ignored you. Clearly, you're not good enough for him."
The more Zhang Dadan talked, the more convinced he became of his point, and the more self-righteous he became.
The surrounding drivers were about to say something when Ling Yanyan spoke up.
"You said your name is Zhang Dadan?"
Ling Yanyan raised an eyebrow at him; she was quite familiar with the name.
Isn't this a ghost fighting ghost plot?
Zhang Dadan didn't know why Ling Yanyan would say that, and he wondered to himself, "Could it be that this gentleman has heard of my name before?"
But I'm just a rickshaw puller, how could I have such a big reputation?
Although he was puzzled, Zhang Dadan replied cleverly, "That's right, sir. My name is Zhang Dadan because I am recognized as the bravest person in the nearby villages, so people call me Zhang Dadan."
Zhang Dadan spoke as if to increase his credibility.
As he spoke, he patted his chest heavily, a confident smile spreading across his face.
Ling Yanyan smiled slightly and said, "In that case, I'll choose you."
"Thank you, sir. You are such a kind person," Zhang Dadan said excitedly.
Ling Yanyan chose him, so Zhang Dadan was naturally happy that he would have some income today.
Zhang Dadan beckoned Ling Yanyan to get into his rickshaw, and while pulling the rickshaw, he chatted with Ling Yanyan out of boredom.
"Sir, you don't seem to be very familiar with this place. Where are you from?"
Ling Yanyan was also bored, so he replied with a smile, "I'm from Taizhou City."
“That’s a big city,” Zhang Dadan flattered.
Looking at Zhang Dadan, who was speaking, Ling Yanyan asked curiously, "You said you are the bravest person in the nearby villages. Is that your own opinion or everyone else's?"
Zhang Dadan felt that Ling Yanyan's words implied a sense of disdain for him, and replied without thinking.
