Eighty's Military Marriage: The Disliked Me Became the Richest Man in the City

Originally the female CEO of a high-end catering brand, Xia Enruo drowned while vacationing in Hainan to watch the underwater starry sky and transmigrated to the 1980s. Her past life was full of gl...

Chapter 248 Buying a Car

"Shaoxuan, what do you think? Aren't imported cars better than domestically produced ones?"

Gu Shaoxuan nodded.

"Foreign technology is indeed advanced. I used to only see introductions in newspapers, but seeing the actual product today is truly amazing."

"Let's go check out other brands. I see there are some more over there."

Xia Enruo and Gu Shaoxuan walked out of the Santana exhibition area and then looked at Nissan, Citroen and Toyota cars.

The Toyota Crown has the highest-end configuration here, and it even has power windows.

These configurations, which seemed ordinary in the past, have now become advanced products that represent a new era.

"Shaoxuan, after looking at them for a long time, this car is still the best."

"Indeed, this car's configuration is simply the most advanced available right now."

Gu Shaoxuan circled the car again and again, even opening the trunk to take a look.

The staff didn't pay much attention when they saw that he was a soldier in military uniform.

“Now a soldier’s salary is at most 60 yuan. At that level, buying this imported car is simply a pipe dream.”

Xia Enruo stood aside and, taking advantage of the moment when Gu Shaoxuan was looking at the car, walked up to the staff and asked about the price.

"Purely imported, priced at 180,000 yuan."

The staff member saw that Xia Enruo was so young and knew she couldn't afford it, but still responded with a professional attitude.

"Is it an optional feature?"

Upon hearing this, the staff member looked up and gave her a meaningful look.

How could she even ask such a question? Choosing configuration?

Aside from the staff, almost no one should know these two words.

How could she? This was the first time she had ever encountered a customer like this, not even at the sales center in Beijing.

"You can't choose the configuration right now, but this model is a pure import from Japan. There are two configurations: a standard one, which is the one on display, and a high-end one, which is only available at our Beijing headquarters. It's more expensive, priced at 200,000 yuan. I didn't realize you were a professional, young lady."

When Xia Enruo heard the staff member say that, she smiled and replied.

"I wouldn't call myself a professional; that's what everyone says when buying a car where I'm from."

"Where are you from?"

The staff were somewhat confused. Weren't they all in China? This was already the most advanced imported car available. Were there different ones elsewhere?

Do you have a business card? Give me one, I can contact you if I need anything.

The staff member hurriedly pulled out a bill from his pocket and offered it as collateral. How strange!

I've been standing here all day, and this is the first time a customer has asked me for their business card.

"Enruo, let's go."

After admiring the view, Gu Shaoxuan walked over, took Xia Enruo's hand, and said...

"Let's go check out the truck. If it's good, we'll make a decision."

"Walk."

"Shao Xuan? Did you like that car just now?"

Xia Enruo turned to the side and asked.

"I like it. I didn't expect Japanese products to be so advanced. I wish our country's cars could be this advanced."

"That day will come eventually, no rush."

Xia Enru smiled faintly.

The two then arrived at the truck display area, which mainly featured domestically produced Jiefang brand trucks, with rows of them neatly arranged in light blue paint.

The two asked about the price, and it was 30,000 yuan.

Gu Shaoxuan pulled Xia Enruo into the car to experience it firsthand.

"Shaoxuan, how's it going? Is the vehicle alright?"

"Not bad, it's one of the newest ones. It's much better equipped than the ones the military bought before, and the interior decoration is also much more refined."

"How about using it as our family's truck?"

"Honey, are you really going to buy it?"

Xia Enru nodded.

"I think it's okay."

The staff were already getting impatient seeing the two sitting in the car talking and not getting out for a long time.

Well, these soldiers are using the driver's cab of our vehicle as a place for dating.

"Hey, comrade. This is a brand new car. Just come in for a look and then get out. Otherwise, if you get the inside dirty, we won't be able to sell it."

Hearing the shouts, Xia Enruo rolled down the car window and leaned out.

"We'll take this car."

"What!!!!!!!"

The staff member suddenly paused, then exclaimed in surprise, "Was that you speaking just now?"

Xia Enru looked around.

"What? Are there other people talking here? We'll take two of those cars over there too. Can my husband and I stay in the car a little longer this time?"

The staff member immediately became very attentive.

"Yes, yes, of course. Please take a closer look. Our trucks are the latest models in China, currently the best available, and they sell the best in other places as well. Many large state-owned factories have placed orders with our company."

Xia Enruo touched the black leather seat.

It's pretty good and quite smooth.

"Okay, this is it."

The truck crew were overjoyed when they heard that.

This was the first time he had ever met someone who was so quick to buy a car.

The staff followed Gu Shaoxuan and Xia Enruo to the bank to withdraw money, and then returned to the exhibition hall to sign the contract.

"Ms. Xia Enruo, you are the first customer at our trade fair to order two trucks at once. Please come over to the trucks so we can take a picture of you."

Xia Enruo suddenly felt that this sentence sounded so familiar.

It seems that taking photos with your new car is now a popular trend.

Gu Shaoxuan stood to the side holding the contract, watching a group of people surround his wife, taking photos and conducting interviews. Even TV reporters came over, picking up microphones and asking questions incessantly.

Xia Enruo finally came out after a full half hour.

"Shaoxuan, let's drive home!"

"What about the other car?"

“I’ve already spoken to the staff, and they’ll deliver one to us.”

Gu Shaoxuan drove his truck with his wife out of the trade fair.

They were incredibly stylish along the way, attracting onlookers who treated them like celebrities, with crowds of people all around.

"They're so rich! They buy cars in pairs."

"I really don't know which wealthy family has such power."

"There are so many rich people in Yongning City. This is the first time I've ever felt this way."

"That's right. With our meager fixed salaries, we can't even afford a tire for a truck."

It was the first time Gu Shaoxuan had driven his own car, and he was overjoyed. Although he used to drive military vehicles all the time, the feeling was completely different.

He used to lack a sense of belonging, but now he truly feels that this car belongs to him.

"Enruo, I never thought our family would be able to buy our own car."

Although Dad takes a car to and from get off work every day, it is, after all, a government vehicle.

My younger sister and I used to ride bicycles every time we went out, but now I'm actually driving my own truck.

My wife is really capable; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to afford it with my salary alone.

"Whoever earns the money, it's all our family's money. Why distinguish between yours and mine?"

"What you said is true, but you are still the best, my dear wife."
