Stan and Ms. Mao entered a nearby car rental shop, with a large sign reading "Bob's Car Rental" hanging at the entrance. In the front yard, a few cars were sparsely parked, and none of them seemed to be in good condition.
As soon as Stan and Ms. Mao stepped onto the lot, the person in charge pushed open the office door and greeted them, "Car rental with Bob, the best neighbor in Riverside Town, hahaha. How can I help you, my good friends?"
Stan explained their purpose and introduced Ms. Mao to the boss. "Oh, lovely lady, don't worry about the driver's license. For just a little fee, we have a simulator where you can take the driving test. Once you pass, we can issue a license on the spot! Come in, come in, it's cold outside!"
Bob's words confirmed Stan's suspicion that Chinese driver's licenses couldn't be used here directly. "Wait a minute!" A young woman dressed like a scholar spoke up. "If the lady already has a driver's license, she can register her license information online without taking the test again!"
The young woman wore thick glasses, had loose hair tied into two braids, and was dressed in overalls and a plaid shirt. Most notably, she wore oversized slippers. She was holding a laptop, which was quite unusual since everyday electronic devices now relied on natural language interaction, and it was rare to see one with a manual input keyboard.
"Hello, madam, my name is Catherine. If you don't mind, I can help you register your license online!" Catherine said to Ms. Mao. Ms. Mao was about to agree when Stan intervened and asked Catherine, "Hi, Catherine, I'm Stan. Thank you for offering a solution, but I would like to handle the process myself with your guidance. Is that alright with you?"
Catherine finally noticed Stan and replied, "It seems you have a keen sense of cybersecurity. Are you also a programmer? However, you should be more concerned about whether people are trustworthy!"
Stan was left speechless by Catherine's retort, while Ms. Mao burst into laughter, "Hahaha, don't worry. Thank you, Catherine, please help me register the information!" She then shot a glare at Bob, the car rental boss.
