"Mom, is dinner ready?" Chen Feng asked.
"Just a quick copy, that'll be fine." Liu Ping breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two of them come down.
If they don't come down soon, they'll starve to death.
The food was quickly prepared, and the four of them ate downstairs.
"Are we going to the city again later?" Chen Jianguo asked.
"I don't know, I'll call Huang Fei and ask him later."
It would take several hours to go there and back, so Chen Feng wouldn't go unless it was something important.
Huang Fei and his group had already completed the transfer of ownership for Li Chunlai's car and even put on the license plates. They were currently looking at cars at a Toyota 4S store.
Do you have a Land Cruiser?
"Yes, let's see which one you want?" the salesperson said, gesturing to introduce the options.
"I need your WeChat ID for this 4.0 naturally aspirated engine. Then show me the modification list and I'll tell you what modifications you want," Huang Fei asked with practiced ease.
He had already done his homework on what he wanted.
"Okay, here's the modification list." The salesperson was overjoyed to hear this, as it was rare to find such a convenient buyer.
"Added a large screen, 360-degree surround view, welcome lights, and mahogany interior trim..."
That whole thing left Li Chunlai completely bewildered.
"No, for a car in this price range, don't they have these things?" Li Chunlai asked, puzzled.
"Hey, that's just how the Land Cruiser is. A 700,000 yuan car, and it doesn't even have a reversing camera." Huang Fei said, as if he was used to it.
"Then...why buy this thing? I remember Lu Dahai's beat-up car, which cost tens of thousands of yuan, had a reversing camera." Li Chunlai looked puzzled.
"Because it can go up mountains and down rivers, for off-roading, you have to go for the Land Cruiser."
Huang Fei grinned. A car that had been professionally certified by people from Tibet and Inner Mongolia was no joke.
"You talk like you're going off-roading," Li Chunlai rolled his eyes.
"Although it hurts a little, I can still have some fun with the small dents and bumps," Huang Fei said with excitement in his eyes.
Just then, Huang Fei's phone rang, and he saw that it was Chen Feng calling.
"Hey Fengzi."
"How did it go? Do you still want me to go?"
"Damn, you're still not here? I thought you'd arrived!"
"I'm eating now. I'll go after I finish eating."
"Go to hell, I've already booked it. We'll all be heading back by the time you arrive."
"That's perfect, I haven't finished eating yet."
"Damn it, you eat first, we'll call you if we need anything later."
"Alright, that's what I've been waiting for."
After hanging up the phone, Huang Fei looked depressed. He knew he shouldn't have let Chen Feng go back yesterday.
"Sir, let's pay a deposit and leave our phone numbers. I'll contact you again after the car is modified."
"Sure, no problem." Huang Fei left his contact information, and that was it.
"Let's go check out BMW again?" Li Chunlai asked Lin Nian as he sat in the driver's seat and fastened his seatbelt.
"Take a look, see what they look like, and then we'll discuss it when we get home," Lin Nian nodded and said.
The group then went to the BMW dealership, where Lin Nian took many photos of the cars before leaving.
Before leaving, the salesperson repeatedly reminded him to add Lin Nian on WeChat and tell him that if he wanted to buy a car, he must contact him.
"Shall we go home?" Li Chunlai asked.
"go home."
The group drove home, and Li Chunlai dropped them off at the village entrance before heading towards Xiaoqiao Village himself.
At this time of day, the village is bustling with people, many of whom are out enjoying the sun.
When Li Chunlai's Mercedes-Benz drove into the village, it immediately surprised the villagers.
"Wow, who's back? Driving such a nice car."
"A Mercedes-Benz, with the upright emblem, that must be expensive."
"Whose house are they heading to? Could it be the village chief's?"
"The village chief's family makes sense, after all, he's been embezzling for so many years, and he's finally stopped pretending."
"Wait a minute, how did he end up past the village chief's house?"
"It seems they went to Old Zhang's house. I heard they opened a restaurant in the county town. I didn't expect they'd really make a fortune this time; they're even driving a Mercedes now."
"Hmm? Something's not right. Why isn't Old Zhang's family stopping either?"
"Wait a minute, holy crap, who the hell is Li Chunlai?!"
When Li Chunlai parked his car in front of his house and got out, everyone was stunned.
The news that Li Chunlai was driving a Mercedes-Benz caused an uproar in the village in an instant!
"What's going on? How come Li Chunlai is driving a Mercedes now?"
"No way, did you hear? Li Chunlai went away for two months and came back in a Mercedes."
"Damn, where did he go? He can make so much money. You couldn't even rob a bank and make that much."
"Really? Who told you that? That's bullshit."
"Nonsense! The car was already parked at the entrance. That Mercedes-Benz looked really impressive, with a shiny paint job; it was obviously brand new!"
"I'll go see what's going on."
The villagers were all curious upon hearing this, and they all ran out to see for themselves what was going on.
After all, it had only been two months since Li Chunlai went from being a lazy, idle street urchin in the whole village to driving a Mercedes-Benz with a hood ornament.
How could they not be shocked by such earth-shattering changes?
When Li Chunlai's parents heard the car, they instinctively came out and were surprised to see that it was Li Chunlai returning.
"Chunlai's back. Did you finish the work outside?" Li Chunlai's father asked, wearing a military green hat and a coat.
"I finished the job. I came back yesterday." Li Chunlai handed his father a cigarette.
"Chunlai, whose car is this? Who did you borrow it from?"
"Don't mess around. This car doesn't look cheap. If it gets scratched or damaged, we can't afford to pay for it. You should return it."
When Li Chunlai's mother saw the car, her first reaction was not happiness, but worry.
"My God, where did you get this car? It's a Mercedes! That's a luxury car!" Li Chunlai's father also saw the car, walked up to it, and exclaimed in admiration.
He probably will never own something like that in his lifetime; he can only watch others have it.
"Beep beep".
Li Chunlai pressed the key and straightened his back perfectly.
"Where did you get it? I bought it. I just picked it up yesterday. It's a Mercedes-Benz S-Class luxury version. It didn't cost much, just over a million."
Although Li Chunlai's voice wasn't loud, some people watching the commotion from across the aisle could hear it clearly.
"Over a million? Wow, that's so expensive!"
"My God, what has he been doing to afford such a nice car?"
"Damn it, even the village chief's family doesn't drive a Mercedes-Benz, yet Li Chunlai is the first one to buy one."
Li Chunlai's father was stunned when he heard his words, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"What did you say? Really? You're saying this car is yours? Over a million?"
"Stop messing around, where did you get so much money?"
His father simply couldn't believe that Li Chunlai could earn so much money in just two months. Was this a joke? How could this be possible?
