Chapter 20 - Can I get a car?

Choku was, although very young, disturbed by seeing something horrifying on the road, he was scared to drive a huge semi-truck anymore.

I don't want to drive a truck anymore.

"Hey, do you need any driver or physical labour?"

"Nope. What are you asking? I am here to walk my dog."

Choku asked another person with a dog and suit, but no luck, he was losing hope, and his eyes looked distant and hopeless.

"Umm… Hey, give me your resume, let me look at that."

Choku was about to jump on a suited woman with his resume when he heard a voice from behind him, he was shocked and happy.

When he turned around with a smile on his face, his smile vanished into the thin air because he knows this young man who was asking for his resume.

"It's you, I know you."

Choku said he was shocked actually, he didn't think much before opening his mouth.

"Of course you do, we are neighbours after all."

Suho said calmly, he then calmly walked towards Choku and grabbed the resume file and went over it in a glance.

"My company is hiring new people. Want to go grab a coffee and talk more about it?"

Suho asked, he was smiling and was holding Choku's resume file and had a smile on his face.

Choku was very confused seeing the young man from upstairs here of all places, and he was offering him a job? He, of course, wanted a job, so he nodded his head.

Both of them sat in a nearby cafe. Choku was feeling a little nervous, as he really was in need of a job, and if this young man could give him one, he was prepared to give his first month's income to this young man as a gift or goodwill.

"I own this little company called 'Steel Cup T-shirt Factory'. We need lots of labour and workers there. I saw your resume and saw that you've driven semi-trucks for 2 years. I think you can handle some easy machines in the factory."

Suho said while sipping his coffee, he was smiling kindly.

Choku, hearing Suho was in fact the boss, was taken aback a little, he was not particularly surprised, as he has seen how Suho dresses up, but they live in the same building, so he never guessed such a rich businessman could live in the same building as him.

"I have a psychological trauma, I once saw a biker's head getting crushed in front of my eyes, the brain splattered everywhere. Since then, I fear trucks."

Choku said he was not hiding his pain or shortcomings, he was stating them plainly. He was not a cheater after all.

Suho, hearing this, was silent for a long time and only sipped his coffee. He thought he was going to hire Choku as a labourer, but his mind changed at the last moment, and he asked the system if he could buy a car for the company and use it.

I am the boss, of course I need a personal car and a driver.

The system didn't buzz, which meant a green flag.

"So? Do you fear trucks in general, or does just seeing them make you vulnerable?"

Suho asked, he was still sipping his coffee with grace.

"No, I fear it when I am driving that monster, the steering in a semi-truck is very big, so I don't feel comfortable in it. I can handle small steering like in a small car, and no, seeing a truck doesn't make me weak."

Choku replied with confidence, maybe he was overreacting, but he was confident enough to drive a small car if need arose.

"Perfect. How about you work as my personal driver from now on?"

Suho smiled and said he was happy that system didn't buzz on a company car for the boss's plan.

Initially the system did interfere with a buzz when Suho simply said, 'I want a car,' so when Suho changed his wording to 'The company's boss needs a car from the company for the company,' he was allowed.

Well, if it works, then that's fine, hehe.

Suho was very happy just thinking about him owning a car – well, technically company-owned, but as long as he didn't reveal it to anyone, no one would say anything, the company was his anyway.

"I… of course I can be your driver."

Choku said he was ready to drive around a small sedan for an office boss, no matter the salary.

'I can satisfy my wife if I go back and say I have got a job.

"Of course, you have also driven a way bigger vehicle for 2 years without any fault, so you can drive a small sedan. I understand that, so I can be happy a previous professional driver is my personal driver."

Suho smilingly said he was not actually flattering Choku, he was telling the truth. Choku was an exceptional semi driver, even on the highway, he has driven for two years and not a single complaint has been made. Exceptional performance.

"Let's talk about salary. What kind of salary do you expect, Mr Son?"

"Just Choku is fine. You can pay me anything above $1000 in a month. My one condition is just pay it on time, as my daughter's school is very strict on payments."

Choku said he was not expecting much, he was not a fresher and has bad self-control with his mind.

"Also, I have not driven a private full-time car before, so I actually don't have any experience at all about salary, so whatever you say goes."

Choku continued, he was not sure what to expect, as he didn't imagine him being a driver once again, and a small car driver at that.

'This man is very honest, Sigh!

Suho sighed, seeing Choku's honest appearance and simple face, this was a man who was honest and didn't go the wrong way to earn money.

"You're in luck then, Choku, If someone else heard this line, he would have exploited you till you died, but I am not those men."

Suho said with a smile, he was smiling and in his mind constantly bargaining with the system. He wanted to give as high a salary as possible to this man.

"You are a driver, a good one at that. I have decided that your salary will be $8000 per month. There will be benefits too, we can discuss that later in the office."

Suho said, he was smiling and also not looking at the shocked face of Choku.
