Tom in Nanjing

Tom took a 2 day business trip to Nanjing, the former southern capital. He took a long cab drive to take care of some business and asked the driver to wait for him since there were no taxis to be found. He tended to his business and returned 45 minutes later to find the trunk open and the driver's shoes resting on the ledge. The driver was nowhere to be found.

Tom looked around and could find no sign of the driver, except for the shoes, so he called the cell phone number the driver had given Tom upon his departure from the taxi. Suddenly, there was a stirring from inside the taxi. The driver was asleep in the back seat. He quickly jumped up and hustled to the back of the car, changed from his slippers into his shoes, and got into the front seat to take Tom back to the hotel. (Yes, I did say he changed from his slippers... I guess he didn't want his shoes to soil the white cover on the seats. I don't know why his socks wouldn't suffice.)
