You have to pay the price for breaking the rules

After hearing the driver’s story, John laughed, “No wonder you insisted that you had been drinking at that time!” The driver said, “After we went back, the first thing the mayor did was return the $10,000. Of course, in the end, the project wasn’t awarded to that developer. As for the second thing…” John interrupted, “I can guess the second thing without you telling me. You lost your job as the mayor’s driver, right?” The driver nodded, “It doesn’t matter. I bought a large truck later and started doing transportation.”

John couldn’t help asking, “Your losing the job as the mayor’s driver is really related to me. But why did you say you should thank me just now?” The driver suddenly beamed with excitement, “You don’t know. Last month, that mayor was arrested!”

John laughed, “It’s not surprising. It was just a matter of time. Those who break the law will be caught.” The driver slapped his thigh, “Hehe, not only him, but the guy who replaced me as the mayor’s driver, who helped him with his illegal activities, is also in jail now. Just thinking about it scares me. If I were still driving for him, I might be the one in jail. Do you think I should thank you?”

John burst out laughing, patted the driver on the shoulder, and said with deep feeling, “It seems that being a driver for a leader may seem prestigious, but it also comes with risks. It’s better for you to drive this large truck now. You’re free and independent. Even if you break the rules, at most, you just have to pay a fine.” The driver nodded repeatedly, “You’re right!”

Just as the driver was about to say something else, he saw a ticket being handed to him. He stamped his foot and complained, “I’ve told you so much. You’re really going to fine me?” John held back his laughter and said seriously, “Of course! No matter what you do, if you break the rules, you have to pay the price.”
