097: Why don’t you build a new car yourself?

Gu Jun didn't think it was his fault that Xu Yao's lipstick disappeared. Of course, it wasn't Xu Yao's fault either.

"Is there no lipstick that won't fade?"

Gu Jun asked Xu Yao.

Xu Yao didn't want to pay attention to him!

Xu Yao has already bought a second-hand nanny car. If Gu Junruo wants to replace the car for Xu Yao immediately, Xu Yao will not agree.

Gu Jun thought of a compromise: "I know a friend who runs an auto repair shop. Let's take the car to him for an inspection before letting Xiaoling drive it. I'll have them check it carefully and replace any worn parts. This way, the safety factor will be higher and the car's service life will be extended. What do you think?"

Xu Yao had no suspicion that there was anyone else.

She really didn't know much about cars, so she just asked Gu Jun if it would take too long.

"No. It will be finished before we get back from our honeymoon."

Xu Yao had no reason to refuse.

The next day, Gu Jun drove away the second-hand nanny car.

In fact, Gu Jun is just a workaholic. How could he know any friends who run a repair shop?

Jiang Zhiyan did know someone who was an expert at modifying cars. Jiang Zhiyan had only become more mature in the past two years, having served as Huahu's spokesperson. A few years earlier, he had also been a fan of modified cars, often going for late-night mountain runs when the mood struck. At the time, Gu Jun was particularly worried about his investors dying mid-startup, so he told Jiang Zhiyan that the company desperately needed money. Unable to secure more investment, Jiang Zhiyan reluctantly sold several of his modified cars. Without them, his late-night mountain runs naturally stopped. Back then, Jiang Zhiyan was clueless and fell for Gu Jun's subtle tricks. By the time Jiang Zhiyan realized what was happening, he couldn't buy back the modified cars he'd sold!

Gu Jun called and said he wanted to modify a car. Jiang Zhiyan remembered the time he was cheated and said to Gu Jun: "Oh my, our President Gu wants to play with cars now? President Gu, you should think twice. You are so rich now, it's so dangerous to play with cars! Huahu can't do without President Gu, and there is also your beautiful wife who just got married not long ago... With your inheritance, she can support a group of young men. She can spend all that money for decades. How happy she is!"

Gu Jun glanced at the rearview mirror. He still looked stylish and handsome in the mirror. Wasn't he much better than the so-called fresh meat in his early 20s?

"You don't have to stir up trouble. We have a very good relationship. I'm not playing with cars. I'm just helping Xu Yao modify cars."

Jiang Zhiyan became interested and asked, "Help Xu Yao modify the car?"

Xu Yao is so skinny that a gust of wind could blow her over, yet she actually likes to play with modified cars?!

When Jiang Zhiyan saw the second-hand nanny car bought by Xu Yao with his own eyes, he almost laughed at Gu Jun to death.

"Are you pretending to be poor and crazy? Although I think Xu Yao married you with bad intentions, she did marry you after all, and you bought your wife this cheap old car?"

This second-hand nanny car is not even as expensive as the bag Jiang Zhiyan gave to Tangtang before. Jiang Zhiyan simply doesn't want to talk to a cunning and stingy man like Gu Jun!

Gu Jun was too lazy to argue with him and dismissed Jiang Zhiyan with a sentence, "Xu Yao bought this with her own money."

"Why did she buy such a cheap car? I see she has quite a few followers on our platform. Is it really that unprofitable to be an influencer on Huahu?"

Jiang Zhiyan had some understanding of the income of internet celebrities. He didn't believe that Xu Yao's income was so low. He suspected that Xu Yao was using a new method of self-torture.

This is the biggest difference between Jiang Zhiyan and Gu Jun.

Jiang Zhiyan has never experienced poverty, and his consumption philosophy is to give himself the best within his ability.

However, Gu Jun could understand Xu Yao very well.

It’s not that Xu Yao earns little, but she still owes so much money. If she can earn one million, she would only be willing to spend one hundred thousand at most!

"Stop talking nonsense and take me to the place where cars are modified."

Jiang Zhiyan already had a preconceived notion about Xu Yao. No matter how Gu Jun explained, Jiang Zhiyan wouldn't believe him, so Gu Jun simply didn't waste any more words. There was nothing to explain. Gu Jun had heard Xu Yao's plan and knew she would pay back some of the money to her creditors before the New Year. Facts spoke louder than words. Jiang Zhiyan would eventually find out what kind of person Xu Yao was.

Jiang Zhiyan brought Gu Jun to the place, and Gu Jun's request was very simple: except for the shell, which should be kept as it was, all other parts that needed to be replaced should be replaced.

"Don't keep the brand logo when you change the interior."

Xu Yao had seen good things before, and Gu Jun was afraid that she would recognize the details.

For example, the seats need to be comfortable, but the surface leather cannot be too good. Xu Yao might also suspect that this means that the car modifier needs to replace the top-level seats with ordinary leather.

Gu Jun's various demands were so inhumane that not only Jiang Zhiyan but even the owner of the modification shop was stunned.

Jiang Zhiyan mocked Gu Jun: "Why are you still modifying the car? Why not just build one for her yourself? You can control all the details. You can make a 5 million yuan nanny car as cheap as 50,000 yuan!"

Gu Jun paused: "...There's not enough time."

——So, you really thought about it?!

Hearing that Gu Jun was going to take Xu Yao on a honeymoon, Jiang Zhiyan thought about how he was still on Tangtang's blacklist and said sarcastically, "According to your request, you didn't even give them enough time to modify it!"

Gu Jun looked at the owner of the modified car and said, "I'll pay double the price."

The boss's embarrassment turned into a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, we will definitely fix the car before you return from your trip."

Jiang Zhiyan couldn't stand Gu Jun's love-minded attitude of trying to please his wife at all costs, and he kept whining on the way home. When they were almost at Shenghai Garden, Jiang Zhiyan pulled over to let Gu Jun out.

"It's not right for a boss to send his employees home. Your wife will definitely be suspicious if she sees you. You can walk the rest of the way on your own!"

Gu Jun felt that what Jiang Zhiyan said made sense, so he was not angry. He even praised Jiang Zhiyan for his comprehensive consideration. Jiang Zhiyan was so angry that his nose was crooked.

Just as Gu Jun was about to get off the car, Jiang Zhiyan's phone rang. It was Jiang Mingjia calling.

"Is Gu Jun with you?"

“Not here!”

Jiang Zhiyan winked at Gu Jun, and Gu Jun sat back in the passenger seat and closed the car door.

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Mingjia's tone was somewhat gloating. "If Gu Jun is not here, please give him a message. Isn't that little internet celebrity he likes engaged to Chen Yan, the third branch of the Shen family in Nancheng? I heard that Chen Yan has set up an MCN company and is now recruiting high-quality anchors across all platforms... It's not that I want to sow discord, I'm just worried about the color of Gu Jun's head, you know?"

"I don't understand!"

Jiang Zhiyan hung up the phone with great momentum, turned to Gu Jun and sighed: "Brother, I'm worried too."

Jiang Mingjia is really trying to stir up trouble. She doesn't want any more powerful capital to share the MCN agency's cake.

Jiang Zhiyan was really worried about Gu Jun.

They have been in a relationship for several years and were engaged in the past. Chen Yan might have set up this MCN company just for Xu Yao. Gu Jun and Xu Yao have been married for such a short time. Can Gu Jun stop Chen Yan and Xu Yao from rekindling their old love?
