Knowing that Lin Yizhou was unreliable this time, Liu Zi decided to handle the car issue herself.

She returned home and mysteriously pulled Liu Daqiang away, who was cleaning the house.

Liu's mother, Xu Mei, chased after it, but only saw the tail of the motorcycle.

Aunt Zhang followed her out: "What happened?"

"I wonder where that father and daughter went? They're acting so mysteriously." Xu Mei pouted. When did the father and daughter become so close?

"They'll probably be back soon, let's head back! It's so cold today!" Aunt Zhang rubbed her hands together.

"Alright! These two are really something. They said they were going to clean the house, but they both ran off." Mrs. Liu scolded.

"There's not much work to do. It was just cleaned before the move, so it's not dirty. I can finish tidying up in a little while," Aunt Zhang said with a smile, trying to smooth things over.

"Forget it, let's leave those two men alone and go home quickly!" Liu's mother turned around, took Lingzi and Qiqi's hands, and went home.

"Are you really going to buy a car?" Liu Daqiang asked the woman behind him in surprise.

"right!"

"But you don't even have a driver's license, who's going to drive it?" Liu Daqiang said helplessly, his daughter's ideas were all over the place these days.

"Here you go!" Liu Zi said, half jokingly and half seriously.

"Screech!" Liu Daqiang stopped his motorcycle on the side of the road and turned to look at his daughter.

What kind of joke is this girl making?

He has no need for a car.

"I was just kidding!" Liu Zi immediately explained.

"I asked Lin Yizhou about the car before, but he doesn't have any connections, so I can only bring you out to help me decide."

"Does your studio need a car?" Liu Daqiang thought Liu Zi's studio was just a small workshop, at most writing some things for magazines.

"Of course, take yesterday for example. I could only take a taxi to the People's Hotel for an event. If I came back late, it would definitely not be safe. My friend would have to drive me back, which would have been such a hassle! If I had my own car, it would be so much more convenient," Liu Zi said sincerely.

Liu Zi's words struck a chord with Liu Daqiang. His daughter was of course the most important thing to him and Xu Mei. Money could be earned back, but their daughter's safety was the top priority.

"Yes, we need to buy this car. If it's too late, Dad can pick you up, right?" Liu Daqiang nodded in agreement.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up! Let's try to drive it back tonight." Liu Zi was extremely excited; she was finally going to have a car.

Cars in this era were expensive, making them true luxury items.

The Xiali, which has since disappeared from public view, cost 80,000 yuan for a bare car; the ever-popular Santana was even more expensive at 150,000 yuan; and the Passat was even more expensive at around 250,000 yuan.

Liu Daqiang pretended to be calm and collected, but he was actually a little nervous inside.

The price of this new car is really too high. I wonder how much money my daughter has, and whether it's enough to buy a car she likes.

He glanced at the salesperson, quietly took two steps back, and leaned closer to his daughter, asking, "Honey, how much do you want for the car?"

"Dad, pick whatever you want up to 200,000!" Liu Zi waved her hand generously.

Liu Daqiang froze for two seconds. There was no need to pick anymore. There weren't many cars under 200,000 yuan, so he could let the salesperson skip the selection.

The young man had already led them to the BMW.

Seeing the teasing look in Liu's father's eyes, Liu Zi also felt that she had acted a bit foolishly just now.

To ease the awkwardness, Liu Zi immediately stopped the salesperson.

The young man was working very hard; even in the dead of winter, he was sweating profusely.

"We don't need anything that expensive, just one around 200,000 will do. You can rest for a bit."

"It's alright, I'm just saying what I think. You might not buy it this time, but you might next time!" The young man was very good at talking; everyone wants their life to get better and better.

"Just because you said that, I'll buy this car from you today. You'd better give me a fair price." Liu Zi made the decision right away.

Liu Daqiang's face twitched. His daughter still needed some training; she was easily tricked with just a few words.

"No problem, sister, I'll definitely give you a satisfactory price," the young man said excitedly.

Cars are expensive these days, and most families can't afford them. Even companies or businesses buying in bulk can't get them through his hands as an ordinary salesman, so he doesn't have an easy time. Sometimes he can't sell a single car in a week.

After repeated discussions, Liu Daqiang and Liu Zi finally decided on the Santana.

This car is quite common in China, and their sales company has it in stock. As long as you pay the money and get a temporary license plate, you can drive it away.

Just the fact that it can be driven away immediately is enough to win it over. Liu Zi thinks it's just a means of transportation. Besides, there are so few choices now, what's there to consider? She'd rather spend that time at home writing a couple more pages of manuscript.

After writing and signing the contract, Liu Zi went to the bank counter to pay the money.

Paying by swiping a card with a POS machine is very convenient; the money arrives in your account in no time.

The salesperson handled everything else – paying taxes, insurance, and getting temporary license plates – keeping them incredibly busy.

An hour later, all the formalities were completed.

Finally, the salesperson even went to the manager to request that they receive a free set of original seat cushions and foot mats.

There's nothing I've ever seen such a decisive car owner. He selected his car model within half an hour of entering the store, signed the contract and paid within ten minutes, and it was less than two hours before he left the sales company.

"Sister, this is my business card. If you need to buy a car in the future, you can contact me. I will definitely give you the best price." The young man handed Liu Zi a business card before leaving.

Liu Zi smiled and took it, then put it in her bag.

She also likes this kind of decisive approach to things, and it would be good to consult him if she needs to buy a car in the future.

Since Liu Zi didn't have a driver's license, she had no choice but to drive home.

As for Mr. Liu, he had already gotten into the car in high spirits. He rolled down the electric window and said to his daughter.

"Zizi, ride slowly. I'm driving home first. I need to make your mom happy too." Liu Daqiang touched the steering wheel, stepped on the gas, and sped off, leaving Liu Zi standing there eating dust.

"Ugh, I really need to get my driver's license done soon!"

When Liu Zi returned home shivering from the cold, she found no one there, only a note on the door.

Originally, when Mr. Liu drove home, he was welcomed by the whole family. In the end, they decided to take the children out for a drive.

have to!

Liu Zi is the one who gets left behind again!

Seeing that it was getting dark, Liu Zi resignedly went inside to cook.

After Liu Zi finished cooking, she heard the noise outside the door, and it seemed that Liu Zi had returned.

The two children excitedly rushed into the house and shouted to Liu Zi, "Mom, we bought a car!"

"Grandpa took us out to play."

"The new car is so warm, it's not cold at all!"

"The new car is black, it's so beautiful!"

"Grandpa said the seats in the new car are leather, and they're very comfortable."
