Translator: VinceStar Editor: PrisMiko
Although I don’t understand how Chen Mengyan and Lin Xiang became enemies, generally beautiful girls would easily face the jealousy of others. Even though this Lin Xiang had a lot of makeup on, her foundation is much worse than Chen Mengyan’s.
Yang Ming pretended to stroll around inadvertently. As he pa.s.sed by Sun San’s side, he whispered, “Uncle San, you tell them to accompany me for an act. Just ask them to cooperate with me.”
Sun San glanced at Yang Ming and nodded slightly, but he didn’t say anything. He continued giving instructions to the bald manager as if he didn’t know Yang Ming.
” Cough cough! Anyone? I want to buy a car!” Yang Ming said suddenly after he returned.
“Coming, coming.” It was apparent that the bald manager had received the instructions from Sun San and quickly ran to Yang Ming.
Logically, these car dealers were only renting from the Sun Family’s venues. They could choose not to buy the face of the mall management office. However, now the situation was different. What was the status of the Sun Family in Donghai? What did the Sun Family do? These merchants were clear about these in their hearts, so it was necessary to listen to Sun San.
“Sir, I am the manager of the store. My surname’s Liu. This is my business card. Do you want to buy a car?” asked the bald manager.
“Yes.” Yang Ming took the business card, glanced at it and said, “Is this Mercedes-Benz six hundred yuan?”
” Ah ?” The bald manager was stunned, but he immediately understood how to respond. Since Sun San called him to cooperate, he would cooperate with Yang Ming. So, he said, “Yeah, this Mercedes-Benz is six hundred yuan. The other Mercedes-Benz is three hundred and twenty yuan!”
” Oh , then I will buy the cheaper one for three hundred and twenty yuan!” As he said this, Yang Meng took out three hundred and twenty yuan from his pocket and handed it to the bald manager. “I want it. I’ll buy the Mercedes-Benz. It’s three hundred and twenty yuan, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.” The bald manager answered as he took the money from Yang Ming.
“Then let’s continue with the formalities,” said Yang Ming.
” Ah ? Ok… this way, please…” The bald manager hesitated and invited Yang Ming into the VIP room. In his view, it was possible that Sun San took advantage of his mistake and wanted to blackmail him. This Mercedes-Benz was probably the object to be blackmailed. Therefore, he felt at ease with this idea. Fortunately, Yang Ming wanted this instead of that expensive Mercedes-Benz, else I’ll lose a lot of money.
Yang Ming and the bald manager’s move were seen by Lin Xiang and the Sauerkraut Jar/ little fat man and they were bewildered by it. Isn’t this too ridiculous? Three hundred and twenty yuan to buy a Mercedes-Benz?
Is this sales manager crazy, or is it me who lacks exposure? This world is crazy!
Seeing how Yang Ming and the bald manager went into the room for the formalities, Lin Xiang couldn’t stand it anymore. She asked the little fat man beside her, “What do you think? Could it be a promotion today?”
“Promotion? Really?” The little fat man was also suspicious of everything his eyes saw.
“I think it seems to be true. Why don’t we buy a Mercedes-Benz, too? Let’s not buy a Honda CRV anymore!” Lin Xiang suggested, “Mercedes-Benz is pretty bad*ss!”
“Then let’s buy one. It’s cheap anyway…” Although the little fat man felt a little skeptical, the facts were in front of him. Yang Ming had just bought it, and he couldn’t not believe it.
“Is this Mercedes-Benz six hundred yuan?” Lin Xiang asked a sales lady.
“Six hundred yuan?” The sales lady slanted her eyes at Lin Xiang, and contemptuously said, “There’s another Mercedes-Benz costing three hundred and twenty over there. Do you want to buy it?”
“Buy. We can buy that, too!” Lin Xiang didn’t understand the sales lady’s ironic tone. She instead nodded and said seriously.
“b.u.mpkin!” Miss Sales scolded. “Are you dreaming? You must be a troublemaker! Go away! Crazy!”
“Didn’t he spend three hundred and twenty yuan just now?” Lin Xiang pointed to Yang Ming who was in the reception room and said that with blood gus.h.i.+ng up her face. She ridiculed Yang Ming as a b.u.mpkin just before, and now she was scolded as a b.u.mpkin.
“Then I don’t know. Why don’t you ask our manager?” The sales lady said impatiently.
“This…” Lin Xiang was a bit dumbfounded. However, she still wasn’t willing to give up. If she could buy a Mercedes-Benz for six hundred yuan, it would be a big bargain!
So, together with the little fat man, they walked into the reception room. Lin Xiang asked carefully, “Did he buy a Mercedes-Benz for three hundred and twenty yuan?”
The bald manager didn’t know what Lin Xiang wanted to do, so he nodded and said, “Yes, why?”
“Then I want to buy one. Can I?” asked Lin Xiang.
“Not selling. Someone, drive this person out. Is she sick?” The bald manager said impatiently.
So, two security guards came over and politely asked Lin Xiang and the little fat man to leave…
……
Once they got out of Car City, Chen Mengyan and Yang Ming laughed loudly.
“Yang Ming, you are so bad. You embarra.s.sed Lin Xiang and him.” Even though Chen Mengyan said so, she was very happy that Yang Ming got revenge for her.
“They made themselves look stupid. I didn’t force them to make a fool of themselves.” Yang Ming said innocently.
” Hehe … yeah.” Chen Mengyan nodded. “Do you know the manager of that store?”
” En , I guess it counts.” Yang Ming said vaguely. “He is a mutual friend.”
” Oh ! No wonder!” Chen Mengyan didn’t ask much. After all, these things were not important.
“Lin Xiang and you are enemies?” asked Yang Ming.
“Not really!” Chen Mengyan shook her head and said, “When I was in junior high school, there was a boy in the cla.s.s who liked me. Lin Xiang happened to like that guy too… Later on, although she became the boy’s girlfriend, the boy still took the opportunity to be close to me as much as he could. Lin Xiang thought that I was a fox who seduced her boyfriend…”
“Insane lady, she looks like a turkey.” Yang Ming snorted and said.
” Hehe , let’s not talk about her. But Yang Ming, don’t use violence on others so easily in the future. Why did you slap the face of the fat man just now?” asked Chen Mengyan.
” Oh ? You were talking about Sauerkraut Jar? He was my junior high school cla.s.smate, the guy who deserves a beating,” said Yang Ming.
“…” Chen Mengyan was speechless. Things were really coincidental. Her junior high school cla.s.smate and Yang Ming’s junior high school cla.s.smate became lovers!
After the two people came out of Car City, it was close to noon, so they stopped a taxi and went straight to Chen Mengyan’s home.
Mother Chen worked in a private company. Unlike Chen Fei, who was a civil servant, the policy of public holidays was relatively loose for a private company. Like the Chinese New Year’s Eve festival today, she was already on her holiday.
When Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan entered the house, Mother Chen was busy was.h.i.+ng vegetables in the kitchen. When she saw Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan come back, she quickly came out of the kitchen to greet them.
“Nice to meet you, Aunty.” Yang Ming glanced at Mother Chen and said awkwardly. Due to some misunderstandings during the barbecue night, Yang Ming was somewhat unnatural.
” Hehe , Yang Ming, you came. Come, have a sit in the room.” Mother Chen didn’t feel anything much. The elders had nothing to be awkward about.
“Aunty, I bought two cashmere sweaters for you and Uncle Chen.” Yang Ming handed over the things in his hand. “The color of these two pieces of clothing are relatively bright, suitable to wear during the Chinese New Year.”
” Oh ? It’s already great that you’ve come. Why did you buy things too? How can Uncle Chen and I make you spend money?” Even though Mother Chen said so, she was very happy to receive the gifts. After all, this was a junior’s good intention.
” Hehe , I chose it with Chen Mengyan. In the end, I didn’t spend any money. The boss of the department store is a friend of mine.” Yang Ming said with a smile.
“Really?” Mother Chen felt a little incredible that Yang Ming could know the store owner.
“Yeah, Mom. He seems to be the son of the head office’s president in the department store. Yang Ming was his tutor.” Chen Mengyan explained.
“It turned out to be like this!” Mother Chen listened to Chen Mengyan’s explanation and believed it. She opened the packaging of the cashmere sweaters and looked at the style. She thought it wasn’t bad, so she praised it, “Yang Ming, I didn’t think you would have such a great eye in choosing this!”
“Really? Chen Mengyan helped me with the purchase!” Yang Ming smiled.
“Aunty likes it. Thank you.” Mother Chen said. “You both have a seat first. I’ll go and cook. Mengyan’s dad will be back soon.”
“Aunty, let me help you.” Yang Ming stood up and said.
“It’s alright. Let Mengyan help me. You are a boy. Your carelessness won’t help in the kitchen!” Mother Chen waved her hand and said. “You should just watch TV for a while!”
“Alright then…” Yang Ming was indeed not very good at kitchen stuff. Even now, he could only help with was.h.i.+ng the dishes and vegetables. There was nothing else that he could do, so he no longer insisted on it. He sat down.
Chen Mengyan and Mother Chen went to the kitchen to cook. This was the first time Yang Ming came to Chen Mengyan’s home, so he started a.s.sessing the place.
