Chapter 38: One Car Each

Chen Sun had made up his mind and was going to listen to his cousin to settle everything with a step. He had prepared 150,000 cash and planned to loan another 60,000 to buy a 1.4T Magotan so that Ling Jiao’s family would be satisfied. Although the power of a 1.4 was slightly insufficient, it should not be too bad when it was actually driven.

60,000 yuan, 3 years loan, he would have to pay 1795 yuan monthly.

After Chen Sun figured it out, he said, “Brother, then I’ll take a loan, and I’ll need to pay an extra 1800 per month. As for work, I’ll be working with you.

“Okay, I’ll register the company in two days, so just come over. You can invite some good colleagues to come over too. I’ll pick up a big project after a while. By that time, your salary plus bonus commission can achieve this number each month.” Chen Chuan stretched out two fingers.

“Twe- twenty thousand? Really?”

Chen Sun happily went to sign the contract to make payment.

Ling Jiao stood beside Chen Chuan and asked, “Brother, you’re really that good?”

“Yeah. I’ll go over there to look around.”

“What are you going to look at? The models?” said Ling Jiao.

“To look at cars…”

Chen Chuan walked over to the BMW exhibition area and saw a silver BMW 7-series which was shiny and eye-catching.

“Sir, would you like to have a look? This is the new 750Li Glacier Silver,” the salesman came to introduce.

“How much is it?”

“The guide price is currently 1.98 million. There’s a cash discount of 60,000 yuan at the car exhibition. An invisible car cover worth 20,000 yuan and a 5,000 yuan gas card will also be given,” said the salesman.

Chen Chuan thought about it, his father’s second-hand 5 series was getting old, so it was time to replace it. Now the question was, what car should he get to replace it?

Between the 2 million range, he could also consider the Maybach s500. These two high-end cars were equal to each other, with a price difference of 10,000 yuan.

Ling Jiao was not far away and walked over to ask, “Brother, you want to buy a car too?”

Chen Chuan nodded. At this moment, his phone vibrated. It was a WeChat message from He Jinglan. She said that she had just got on the train and would return to university that day.

Chen Chuan typed an ‘Okay’ as a reply.

Ling Jiao smiled and asked, “Is she your little girlfriend?”

“A classmate,” Chen Chuan replied Ling Jiao, opened the door of the 750 show car, and got into the driver seat.

Ling Jiao also pulled the door to the passenger seat and got in.

Looking at the luxurious interior, Ling Jiao touched the soft leather with her hand and looked up at the roof of the car. Her eyes could not hide her trace of desire.

The salesman opened the car door, sat in the back seat, and subconsciously glanced at the white legs under Ling Jiao’s short skirt. He then said to Chen Chuan, “Sir, 740 is actually fine as well, its deluxe model is selling for 1.3 million. This 750 is really expensive, the difference between the two is their engine whereby one is a 6-cylinder and the other is an 8-cylinder. Of course, the 8-cylinder engine has a thicker sound and can provide the driver with a more enjoyable experience.”

“This will do.” Chen Chuan patted the steering wheel of this Glacier Silver 750Li.

“Ah, sure, sure.” The salesman could not hide his excitement as he did not expect his customer to decide so quickly.

Chen Chuan then followed the salesman out of the car to sign the car purchase contract and transferred the payment. Everything was done in one go.

In reality, Chen Chuan knew that buying such an expensive car in front of his sister-in-law might make it difficult for his cousin. However, he could not care less.

Ling Jiao was sitting in the passenger seat in confusion. ‘What? This will do? Chen Chuan wants to buy this?’

On the other side, Chen Chuan made the payment. The landed price was 2.09 million.

“You spent 2.09 million and received a double cash return of 4.18 million, which has been transferred to your bank card.”

Chen Chuan was at ease after he received the expenditure cash return notice. He then set a time to pick up the car and was planning to go to another booth to buy one for Zhang Xiangyun.

His cousin, Chen Sun, who had also finished purchasing, came over to find him, and asked,

“Jiaojiao, where’s my cousin?”

Ling Jiao said, “He bought this BMW 750, so he went to pay for it.”

…

Chen Sun took the car purchase contract of the BMW 750 in awe, rolled his eyes, and saw that it was indeed true. Only then did he recall what his cousin had said earlier when he was asked to work for him. He suddenly felt that he was a little stupid as he almost made a fool of himself, and missed the great opportunity.

He looked up and found that his cousin was still looking at the car at another booth not far away. Just as he was about to go over, he suddenly thought about the car he had bought and had forgotten to ask about the pick-up details. He handed over the contract to Ling Jiao. “You can take this to my cousin first, I’ll go back to ask about the car pick-up. I forgot to ask about it earlier.”

After Chen Sun left, Ling Jiao took the contract and went to search for Chen Chuan.

At that moment, she heard a voice. “Hey, Ling Jiao, are you buying a car here too?”

Ling Jiao turned her head and saw that it was her university roommate, Xu Meng.

Xu Meng smiled and said, “Congratulations, good things are coming. You must tell us when the wedding date is set. All of us from the dormitory will surely come.”

“Sure, I’ll definitely let you know,” said Ling Jiao.

“Wow, really? The BMW 750? Is this the car you bought? Is your husband that rich?” Xu Meng was envious.

Ling Jiao explained, “We didn’t buy it, my partner’s cousin bought it.”

“Wow, what cousin? How old is he? Does he have a girlfriend? Introduce him to me,” Xu Meng said half-jokingly.

Ling Jiao laughed and said, “Sure, but let me warn you first, he’s the kind of guy that’s definitely popular with little girls.”

The two girls laughed and chatted.

On the other side, Chen Chuan bought a carmine red Cayenne from the Porsche booth for his mother, Zhang Xiangyun.

“You spent 1.72 million and received a double cash return of 3.44 million, which has been transferred to your bank card.”

After confirming that the cash return information had arrived, Chen Chuan signed the contract and arranged a pick-up date with the salesman.

Ling Jiao brought her roommate, Xu Meng, to greet him but he just nodded.

Xu Meng felt disappointed. It seemed that he was not interested in her at all.

At noon, Chen Chuan, his cousin, and Ling Jiao ate in a restaurant outside the Exhibition hall.

Chen Sun was so shocked that he became speechless. He repeatedly checked the two car purchase contracts at the table. One was for the 750 for 2.09 million, and one for the Porsche Cayenne for 1.72 million.

Chen Sun said, “The boss of our company drives a Cayenne. I have seen that SUV before, it’s really beautiful and looks very high-end. Chen Chuan, your mother has a good temperament, this car is suitable for her.”

Ling Jiao rolled her eyes. ‘What’s Chen Sun saying? He really isn’t good with his words. Why’s he talking about Chen Chuan’s mom at this time? Quickly talk about work.’

Chen Sun understood what his fiancee meant, and quickly said, “Chen Chuan, about you starting a company, I think I’m capable. This time, I plan on doing it well. I mean…Can I be responsible for something?”

Chen Chuan could tell that his cousin was clear with his plan now as he was asking for a position.

He took a sip from his drink and said, “Brother, starting a company is not a child’s play. Making money is one of the first things, but it’s more important to do a good job on the project so we can get more offers.”

“I understand, I am actually good in my profession, but I don’t really know how to deal with people,” said Chen Sun.

“Then I’ll give you the role of the design supervisor in the early stages. You’ll get a monthly salary of 8000, five insurances, a housing fund, and two days off. However, you have to focus because I’m not doing this for fun,” said Chen Chuan.

“Sure, but Chuan, do you think I can be the design director? I…” Chen Sun continued to ask for more.

He was then kicked by Ling Jiao under the table.

She glared at him. ‘Why are you so ignorant? Don’t you know how to take your time? He already gave you a position, but you still didn’t accept it and even tried to climb higher?’

“Brother, thank you very much. Your cousin and I shall make a toast to you. Don’t worry, Chen Sun is still pretty steady at his job.” Ling Jiao held up a half glass of red wine.

“Yes, yes,” Chen Sun said hurriedly while he also raised his glass.

The three of them did a toast. Ling Jiao raised her head, drank it all in one go, and wiped the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand.
