Chapter Thirty-One: Dealing with Franklin

  The day before, Lin Xiao had confirmed Franklin's residence and ran to that residential area the next day to take a stroll.

  Can't just go straight to his doorstep, that would be too suspicious.

  Manufacturing coincidences is also a technical activity. Lin Xiao took a large stack of printed bed sheets, a small bucket of glue and a brush to the residential area at noon.

  He walked a short distance and posted a flyer, walls and streetlights were all his targets. The content of the flyer was simple, just looking for a professional driver to teach him racing, of course this was just an excuse to create a reasonable encounter and opening to ask Franklin to teach him racing. The phone number on the flyer wasn't real, he deliberately got two digits wrong, anyway it wouldn't reach his mobile phone that way.

  Whoosh!

  He pulled out a thick flyer from his hand, Lin Xiao picked up the brush covered with glue and swished it on the back of the flyer several times, then 'slap!' It was posted on the wall in front of him.

  At this time, a white van stopped at the door of a house on the opposite street, and Franklin, dressed in hip-hop attire, got out of the car.

  "What a terrible day!"

  He muttered under his breath, clearly in a bad mood.

  At this time, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting loudly:

  "Hey! Brother, you're the one from the day before yesterday!"

  Franklin turned around with a puzzled face and happened to see Lin Xiao walking over from the opposite side, carrying a large stack of flyers and a bucket of glue.

  "Hey! Buddy, are you talking to me?" Franklin looked at the person in front of him with confusion, he couldn't remember when he had met this black-haired yellow-skinned Oriental before.

  "Oh my god! Have you forgotten?!" Lin Xiao said in an exaggerated tone: "The day before yesterday, we just saw each other at the entrance of that car dealership that was smashed by a car, and you even reminded me to be careful."

  "Oh! It's you!" Franklin's face lit up with realization, he finally remembered who the person in front of him was - wasn't it that curious Easterner from two days ago?!

  "Ah~! Brother, you finally remembered me, last time you left too quickly, I even forgot to ask your name." Lin Xiao smiled and put down the things in his hand, stretched out his hand and said: "My name is Xiao Lin, as you can see, I'm an oriental person from China."

  "Hello, Xiao Lin. You can call me Franklin or Little Fu, I'm just staying in Santos for now, this is my temporary place." Franklin stretched out his hand and shook hands with Lin Xiao, then pointed to the house next door with a helpless expression.

  "Oh! Your house is pretty good." Lin Xiao looked at the house and said sincerely, "I just arrived in Santos and I'm currently living on Carlton Avenue."

  "Oh! That's quite far from here." Franklin glanced at the stack of flyers Lin Xiao had placed by his feet, "Lin, are you working around here?"

  Lin Xiao looked down at the thing by his feet and couldn't help but chuckle, shaking his head. "No, I'm here to post some recruitment notices. I want to learn how to ride a motorcycle, I'm not very good at riding those big ones."

  "Can you let me take a look?" Franklin had just lost his job in the past few days, and there was no news from Ma Ke's side. He happened to be short of money at hand, and after hearing Lin Xiao's words, he couldn't help but feel interested.

  "Here, have one." Lin Xiao took a sheet from the thick stack of flyers and handed it to Franklin.

  "One thousand dollars a day!" Franklin picked it up and took a look, suddenly raising his head in surprise to look at Lin Xiao, this treatment was also too good?

  "I learn very quickly." Lin Xiao smiled and said: "I'm afraid only one day's time is enough, so the treatment I offer is relatively high."

  "One day?" Franklin looked at Lin Xiao in surprise again, "Lin, I'm not trying to discourage your enthusiasm, if you just want to learn how to ride, it's quite simple, but your request is to teach you how to race, which isn't that simple."

  "I know." Lin Xiao nodded, "Anyway, let's learn first, if it doesn't work out, then just learn for a few more days and that's fine."

  Seeing Lin Xiao not intending to change the price, Franklin thought for a moment before speaking up: "Lin, actually I used to be quite skilled at racing too, whether it's cars or motorcycles. Why don't you let me teach you?"

  "Who?" Lin Xiao deliberately showed a hesitant expression and looked Franklin up and down.

  Franklin took one look at Lin Xiao's appearance and knew that if he didn't bring out some real skills, the other party wouldn't believe him.

  "Lin, wait a minute." Franklin had Lin Xiao wait here while he himself turned and walked towards the garage on the side.

  Rumble... Rumble...!

  Soon, a roar like a giant beast came from the garage, and then a green phantom rushed out of the garage, turning at an incredible angle before stopping suddenly in front of Lin Xiao.

  "Here." Franklin handed Lin Xiao a helmet, "Come on, come and see my strength!"

  In fact, what just happened has already made Lin Xiao sigh with emotion. However, since Franklin has extended an invitation, Lin Xiao had no reason to refuse.

  "Great, I'm looking forward to it!" Lin Xiao took the helmet and put it on his head, lifted his leg over the back seat of the motorcycle, and grasped the handlebars firmly with both hands.

  "Hold on!" Franklin slammed down the helmet visor, pulled in the clutch and hit the gas. The green motorcycle roared to life and shot forward with a deafening screech.

  Ten minutes later...

  "Dong... Dong... Dong..."

  The green motorcycle returned once again to Franklin's doorstep.

  Lin Xiao got off his motorcycle, feeling a bit dizzy and removed his helmet.

  "How is it?" Franklin smiled and lifted his mask, laughing at Lin Xiao.

  Lin Xiao forced a smile and gave Franklin a thumbs up.

  Fast! It's really too fast, and it's both fast and agile. On the crowded road, it's like a nimble hamster, zooming past with a whoosh. Lin Xiao dared to swear that in his life, he had never seen anyone ride a bike as fiercely as Franklin.

  He patted his chest, suppressing the urge to vomit, and said to Franklin: "It's getting late today, I'll come find you tomorrow morning. This is the deposit."

  As he spoke, Lin Xiao put his hand in his pocket and pretended to take out money. In fact, the money had directly appeared in his hand from the system space.

  "Here is 500, half of tomorrow's tuition fee, I will give you the other half after finishing studying tomorrow."

  Franklin happily accepted the money and smiled at Lin Xiao, saying: "Don't worry, Lin, I'll teach you well!"

  "Alright, I'll go first, see you tomorrow!"

  "See you tomorrow!"

  After waving goodbye to Franklin, Lin Xiao felt much more at ease when he returned to his own car.

  "Damn it, Franklin must have done that on purpose!" Lin Xiao smiled wryly as he glanced at Franklin through the rearview mirror, who was happily counting his money.

  In preparation for tomorrow's driving lesson, Lin Xiao still needs to buy a motorcycle with good performance, otherwise it would be ridiculous to learn how to ride a motorcycle without one.

  "It's going to cost money again, this can't go on, I have to make a move tonight." Lin Xiao thought to himself.
