Chapter 545: Mercedes-Benz 600?
At noon, the maid came back and made some meals. After Zhou Jiajia ate together with Wang Zhitao, she got up and said goodbye. She was prepared to come back tomorrow.
Since Zhou Jiajia had something to do, it wouldn’t be good for Wang Zhitao to retain her. Now his relationship with Zhou Jiajia was seemingly good, but it felt very distant.
…
Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan came to the end of the subway station, the Oriental Car City, which was the largest car sales market in Song Jiang City. However, it shouldn’t be said that it was Song Jiang City’s because it was actually started by an entrepreneur from Donghai.
It’s because there wasn’t a piece of land big enough to construct a Car City in Donghai’s urban area. Even if there was, the price wasn’t cost-effective. So, it was better to build Car City on the edge of Song Jiang City that was close to the border with Donghai. In this way, Car City was placed in between Donghai and Song Jiang. It was very convenient for people from both cities to go.
This was also the practice of many cities, building Car City in the suburbs.
Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan came to Car City and walked around casually. This was in the exhibition hall form. Each brand had its own exhibition hall, but the types of cars were quite complete. Nearly all the brands in China were sold here. Of course, some people liked to go to the brand-specific sales stores to buy a car, but this was a matter of personal habit.
“Wow, this car is good. It’s suitable for girls.” Chen Mengyan pointed to a small SUV.
When Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan stopped, the sales lady immediately greeted them, “Do the two of you want to see a car?”
Now, the price of most domestic car brands had dropped to a very low level. Most cars were at the level of a few ten thousand yuan, which meant that the car was no longer something that only the big boss could afford. It had entered the market of the working class.
Therefore, unlike some luxury car salesmen that held prejudice against the customers, the salesmen of domestic cars didn’t pay much attention to the dress and age of the people who looked at the cars, because anyone can become their potential customers.
” En , just taking a look.” Yang Ming nodded. “What car is this?”
“This is Zotye [1], a small mini off-road vehicle. It is very suitable for families and young couples. It’s small in size, but its appearance and function aren’t bad. There are luggage racks on the top, so it’s suitable for picnics and long-distance travel.” The sales lady pitched, “That is the previous model of this car. Zotye made improvements based on that model.”
“How much is it?” asked Yang Ming.
“The deluxe version is fifty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine yuan with full auto film, luggage rack, and some decorations as free gifts.” The sales lady said.
Only sixty thousand yuan? Yang Ming nodded secretly. This car is good, cheap and practical. It’s low-key when driving it out. The main thing is that the appearance is good. Chen Mengyan can drive it, too.
“Well, we’ll look around first.” Yang Ming said to the sales lady.
“Okay, here are our promotional materials. You can take a look.” The sales lady handed a promotional advertisement to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming took it with him and went to other booths with Chen Mengyan.
“What do you think?” Yang Ming asked Chen Mengyan.
“I feel it’s really very good. I can drive it, too.” It could be seen that Chen Mengyan preferred the car just now.
“But, it’s manual.” In Yang Ming’s opinion, girls should like to drive automatic gear when driving.
“It’s okay. When my dad taught me to drive, he used a vintage car that was already eliminated from their unit. It was also manual.” Chen Mengyan said, “I’m used to it already.”
“That’s great. Let’s take a look at other cars. We’ll buy it if there’s no other suitable car.” Yang Ming didn’t bother much, as long as it could drive. The key was that Chen Mengyan must like it.
Originally, Yang Ming was planning to buy a car that cost a few hundreds of thousands yuan. But now that Chen Mengyan likes this domestic car that is sixty thousand yuan, then there’s no need to hesitate. It’s fine to buy it now. After all, even if it Mom finds out about it, she won’t say anything since the price was cheap.
I’ll buy and drive it first, and then change it in the future. This car can also be given to Chen Mengyan to drive first.
“Okay.” Chen Mengyan also thought that the car was good. Seeing that Yang Ming was going to buy it, she was a little happy.
The two people unwittingly came to the showroom of the Mercedes-Benz car. Currently, Yang Ming wasn’t very interested in this decent car that lacked fuel-efficiency.
However, Yang Ming here saw an acquaintance, Sun San, the butler of Sun Jie’s family. At this moment, Sun San was scolding a bald-head man. Yang Ming looked at their mouth shapes and roughly knew the contents of the chat.
It turned out that the bald-headed man was the manager of the Mercedes-Benz store. It seemed that it was because he offended a guest. This Car City was the Sun Family’s industry, so Sun San was responsible for the mediation.
Sun San also saw Yang Ming. He nodded to Yang Ming. He looked at Chen Mengyan beside Yang Ming with a deeper meaning. Then, he turned around to continue to reprimand the bald-headed manager.
Yang Ming smiled at him, but he didn’t say hello. Perhaps it was because Chen Mengyan was by his side, so Sun San didn’t want to make it awkward for him.
Yang Ming was preparing to turn around and leave with Chen Mengyan. Then he suddenly heard a strange voice.
” Yeah , isn’t this Chen Mengyan?”
Chen Mengyan and Yang Ming turned their heads at the same time. They saw a fashionable girl holding the arm of a little fat man standing not far from them. The one who spoke was the fashionable girl.
Chen Mengyan frowned and looked at the fashionable girl for a long time. She hesitated and said, “You are Lin Xiang?”
“What’s this, Chen Mengyan? You also learned to pick up dumb rich guys?” Lin Xiang glanced at Yang Ming next to Chen Mengyan and said with no irony, “Oh, I forgot. You should be at university now, right? But you’re only in the first year, tzetze …”
Chen Mengyan nodded. She didn’t want to talk to her, so she said to Yang Ming, “Let’s go. She’s one of my junior high school classmates.”
” Hah , don’t go yet. Are you coming to buy a car? Or just to have a look?” Lin Xiang saw the dress of Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan. They didn’t look like rich people at first glance, so she spoke sarcastically.
“We are here to buy a car, but my girlfriend doesn’t seem to like you very much. Please leave.” Yang Ming glanced at Lin Xiang and warned.
” Ha , bumpkin, can people like you also buy a car?” Lin Xiang snorted and said, “Have you ever heard of this joke? It’s about a bumpkin who takes out two thousand yuan at the car shop. He said, ‘I want to buy a Volkswagen Santana.’ The staff member wondered, ‘What did you say?’ The bumpkin said, ‘The Volkswagen Santana that is written at the door!’ The staff member said with a bitter smile, ‘You go to the opposite Mercedes-Benz. I think you are just a bumpkin. Do you think everyone can buy this car?”
“Are you finished? You are not funny at all.” Yang Ming suddenly slapped the face of the little fat man beside Lin Xiang and made a ” papa ” sound. “Is it, Sauerkraut Jar [2]?! ”
The little fat man suddenly heard someone calling his nickname during junior high school, so he was stunned. In the past few years, he and Lin Xiang were used to acting like a bad*ss. He was so overwhelmed from being slapped by Yang Ming. Just as he wanted to fight back, he looked carefully at the person in front of him. He was shocked immediately. “You… are you Yang Ming?”
“Sauerkraut Jar, your memory doesn’t seem so good. It took you so long to recognize me? It seems that my impression on you wasn’t deep enough!” Yang Ming sneered.
“No… No, Brother Yang… Don’t beat me…” The little fat man was shocked and said quickly.
The little fat man and Yang Ming both graduated from Red Flag High School. At that time, the little fat man was very bad*ss in school just because his family was rich, but he had offended Yang Ming unintentionally. Yang Ming didn’t care who he was and directly beat him up.
Later, the little fat man was unwilling. So, he found a few people from the underworld to make trouble for Yang Ming. As a result, they were punished by Yang Ming. From then on, Yang Ming would teach him a lesson every time they met. Therefore, he gave the little fat man some psychological trauma. When he saw Yang Ming, he said out of conditioned reflex, “Brother Yang… don’t beat me…”
This inadvertent sentence just came out suddenly from his deep memory.
“Husband, who is this person?” Lin Xiang didn’t understand the situation at hand.
“You shut up!” The little fat man screamed, “Greet Brother Yang quickly!”
Yang Ming shook his head and said faintly, “No need. Sauerkraut Jar, is this your wife?”
“Yes… Yes… Brother Yang, is there anything?” The little fat man didn’t know what Yang Ming was going to do. He had to force himself to answer.
” Oh , nothing. We are just bumpkins. We’re preparing six hundred yuan to buy a Mercedes-Benz.” How could Yang Ming not notice that this chick was hostile to Chen Mengyan? So, he wanted to take the opportunity to teach her a lesson.
