Translator: – – Editor: – –

That night when he got back, Zhang Bing discussed with Zhang Jiefang about what car to buy. Zhang Jiefang insisted on buying a Junjie for Zhang Bing. Then Zhang Bing said, “I know you just wanted to buy two cheaper cars!”

Mother Zhang immediately asked curiously, “Buy two? For what?”

Zhang Jiefang was anxious. He followed up immediately, “Why buy two? Isn’t one enough for you? I’ll buy you a Pentium then.”

So, Zhang Bing got 150,000 yuan to pay for the car easily.

The next day, Yang Ming was rolling with laughter when Zhang Bing told him about the incident. “Zhang Bing, you’re such a brave man. If you keep on using this trick, aren’t you scared that he might kill you to keep the secret?”

“Let him then. If he doesn’t want anyone to inherit his business, then kill me.” Zhang Bing didn’t give a sh*t about it.

It was quite spectacular to see someone drive a Chrysler to buy a Pentium. These days, many people drove a good car to buy a cheaper car. Some of them buy for a mistress. Some buy for their children. Some accompanied their friend to buy. For people at Yang Ming’s and Zhang Bing’s age, the salesperson would a.s.sume they accompanied their friends to buy a car.”

The sales girl naturally a.s.sumed Yang Ming was buying the car when she saw that Zhang Bing was the driver. She introduced a few models to Yang Ming. Yang Ming was dumbfounded. He pointed at Zhang Bing and said, “He’s the one who wants to buy a car…”

“Ah?” The sales girl was stunned, but she replied immediately, “Sir, you’re a potential customer too. Therefore, it’s okay to introduce them to you too.”

“Hehe, this little girl is quite good at talking.” Zhang Bing was acting up his bad habit again. He started to tease the sales girl.

“Hehe, you’re welcome. We are just offering an enthusiastic customer service.” The sales girl was obviously a veteran in sales. She flawlessly dealt with Zhang Bing’s teasing.

“I want to buy a Pentium. Can you give me a price?” Zhang Bing noticed the girl wasn’t easy to handle, so he went straight to the point. He was going to buy anyway, so there was no point in talking any more nonsense.

“Which model do you prefer?” After the sales girl heard him, she knew Zhang Bing came here with cash. Therefore she cut the cr*p. They welcomed this kind of customers because they would pay without hesitation after they agreed on the price.

“Model 2.0 Automatic Luxury,” said Zhang Bing as he pointed at the leaflet.

“The manufacturer’s suggested price is 165,800. It consists of traction control and leather seat as compared to the Comfortable Model…” The sales girl pitched.

“Stop! I know about all these already. I looked online for the manufacturer’s suggested price already. I’m asking how low can you offer me?” Zhang Bing waved his hand impatiently.

“Hehe.” The sales girl said, “We could offer you 155,000 yuan and give away foil film, seat cover, steering wheel cover and free installation for the anti-theft device.

Zhang Bing shook his head after he heard that. He only had 150,000 yuan. He couldn’t pay the extra 5,000 yuan.

The sales girl asked when she saw Zhang Bing shake his head, “What’s wrong, sir? Do you still think it’s expensive? This price is already low.”

“No way, I don’t have such a high budget. Why don’t we look at another car?” Zhang Bing said to Yang Ming and acted as if he disliked the price.

“How much you want sir?” The sales girl wouldn’t let them go.

“Your price is too high. We have asked on the internet. Others bought the same car with a lower price!” Yang Ming looked at the sales girl with pity.

“Why don’t I give you a discount? See if it suits you?” The sales girl hesitated and said, “150,000. This is the lowest. I’ll give you this price if you take the car.”

“150,000? Hehe, little girl. Are you trying to fool us?” Yang Ming laughed. “Now, I’ll give you a price. Sell or not sell. It’s up to you.”

“How much?” asked the sales girl.

“140,000 yuan,” said Yang Ming.

“Ah?” The sales girl was stunned. “I have never sold one at such a price. I don’t think it’s possible.”

“You can go consult your manager. If you can, then we’ll pay and take the car. We shall talk again if you can’t.” Yang Ming never wasted time when negotiating. He wouldn’t stop until he got what he wanted.

“Alright, please wait for a moment. I’ll consult the manager now.” The sales girl nodded her head, then she walked into the manager’s office.

“What the f*ck? What kind of negotiation is that? You deduct 10,000 straight away?” Zhang Bing shook his head.

“Didn’t you see the price online? It’s almost the same as this.” Yang Ming said.

After a while, the sales girl ran out. She said lightly to Yang Ming and Zhang Bing, “Our manager said the lowest is 141,000. There is no free gift. Only the anti-theft device will be installed.”

Yang Ming and Zhang Bing looked at each other. The price they asked on the internet was nearly the same. It was impossible to go any lower. They couldn’t really force the seller to lose money in the business!

“Alright, let’s see the car first, then we’ll go through the procedures.” Zhang Bing nodded his head in agreement.

There was actually nothing to pick. Zhang Bing and Yang Ming wanted to check the common defects in the car that was reported online. After that, they checked the sound of the engine starting.

Then Zhang Bing tested the car. His feeling on the car was quite good. This self-branded car was a breakthrough after the Red Flag.

Zhang Bing paid and received the invoice, then he drove away with the car. Yang Ming drove the Chrysler, and Zhang Bing drove the Pentium. They went to Zhang Jiefang’s company together. Zhang Jiefang’s driver would deal with the remaining procedures. It was just some errands.

There was no news on the lost Imperial Jade, so Zhang Jiefang compensated Yang Ming with 20,000 yuan. Even though Yang Ming kept rejecting it, Zhang Jiefang was still an elder. He wouldn’t take advantage of the young. Besides Zhang Jiefang didn’t care much about such a small amount of money.

Yang Ming had no choice but to take it. Zhang Jiefang was still an elder. if Yang Ming kept rejecting it, it would bring shame to Zhang Jiefang. So, Yang Ming’s bank account balance surged up to 460,000 yuan. This wasn’t a small amount anymore.

“Yang Ming, why don’t you buy a car?” Zhang Bing looked at Yang Ming’s bank card with envy. “You’re richer than me now. It’s not a problem for you to buy a BMW.”

“Let’s see how it goes. At least I don’t need it for now.” Yang Ming shook his head.

“F*ck, what are you waiting for? You buy a new car. Then we could switch around!” Zhang Bing suggested.

“You think I don’t want to buy one? But whose name should I use? What if my parents ask me? The source of this money looks suspicious. Although jade gambling is a formal business, it was still a gamble. I don’t want my parent to worry about me.” Yang Ming said, “Now I’m just a staff member of your dad’s company. How would it be possible that I’m driving a better car than my boss?”

“You’re right, the difference in profession makes one feel worlds apart. Gambling jade can’t be understood easily by normal people.” Zhang Bing nodded his head. “When are you preparing to buy one then?”

“Soon. When I’m studying at university, I’ll prepare to do some business. It will be easier to buy a car then.” Yang Ming said, “My family background isn’t that great. It isn’t good if I buy a car suddenly. At least I have to buy a house for my parents first.”

“F*ck, little bast*rd!” Zhang Jiefang slapped Zhang Bing’s head and scolded, “Look at how filial Yang Ming is! You only know how to spend my money! You never buy anything for me! A son must be like Yang Ming. Not only he can earn money, he can even find a beautiful wife!”

“Stop it already, I’m looking a daughter-in-law for you too. I’m one step away from success.” Zhang Bing waved his hand hastily.

“En? Really?” Zhang Jiefang was stunned, then he said joyfully, “Your words are never true. Is she one of your spoiled internet friends?”

“Of course not! She is our high school cla.s.smate, and she is studying at Song Jiang Industry University too!” Zhang Bing was afraid that his father wouldn’t believe him, so he added, “Ask Yang Ming if you don’t trust me!”

“Yang Ming, is that true? Don’t lie to uncle.” Zhang Jiefang didn’t believe it.

“En, he is right. She is our high school cla.s.smate, and my girlfriend’s best friend. Her name is Zhao Sisi. She is a nice girl,” said Yang Ming as he smiled.

“Oh? Hehehe, that is great to know! Zhang Bing, when do you plan to bring her home?” Zhang Jiefang couldn’t wait to see the girl.

“Dad, she didn’t agree to be with me yet. Why are you rus.h.i.+ng?” Zhang Bing gave a bitter smile.

“How can I not rush? All who lack filial piety are most scared of having no grandchildren! Give me a grandson, and I won’t bother you anymore!” Zhang Jiefang said hurriedly.

“Dad, I have just gone to university!” Zhang Bing said helplessly, “You need to hold on for that request for a few years.”

“Alright, alright, it’s not that urgent.” Zhang Jiefang realized it was too far in the future for his son, so he mocked his son, “Son, let me tell you. A wife need not be pretty, but she must have a good character, be virtuous and know about housekeeping.”
