Cars are consumables and have no investment value. They depreciate as soon as they are landed.
Nowadays, a slightly better new car costs at least hundreds of thousands of yuan. Hundreds of thousands of yuan can buy a house in Wen Ying's hometown, or mortgage a house in a new property in Chengdu. If the family has ample savings, just buy a car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. It is essentially no different from buying clothes, bags, and cosmetics. For people like Deng Shangwei and Chen Li, who have thriving businesses and seven-digit savings at home, it is not a problem for them to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan on a car.
Like Wen Ying's family, they have two houses to pay off the mortgage, and they rely on their salary to save money for renovation. Now they have to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy a car just to show off their wealth.
Of course, if you really need to buy a car, you have to buy it. If you can't afford a new car, you can consider a used car.
The used car market is quite complicated, and a novice who doesn't know the business can easily buy an accident car. Apart from that, used cars are simply the king of cost-effectiveness, and can be said to be a great deal with a small amount of money.
Although Wen Dongrong is very concerned about his reputation, Wen Ying is confident that she can persuade him to accept the used car.
Last time, Shu Guobing reported Wen Dongrong by real name. The investigation team thoroughly checked Wen Dongrong's financial situation. Everyone in the unit knew that the Wen family bought two houses in Chengdu. It was indeed a bit ostentatious for Wen Dongrong to buy a new car and drive it to the unit at this time.
You don’t have to worry about this with a used car!
Wen Ying had an idea in her mind, but she didn't say it out loud right away. She planned to wait until she had enough money and found a car before bringing it up. There was a greater chance that her mother would agree.
As for Lao Wen…how many high school daughters could afford to buy a car for their own father? Just based on this, Lao Wen shouldn't have any objections.
Chen Ru took Wen Ying back to her hometown. The Wen family agreed to have dinner at Uncle Wen's house. Wen Dongrong had already publicized the fact that Wen Ying won the first prize of the New Concept Award. During the dinner, Wen Kai was the first to congratulate Wen Ying.
Others were surprised that Wen Ying won the award, but Wen Kai thought it was natural. No one knew better than Wen Kai how much Wen Ying loved reading novels.
"Can you move the books you left with me back?"
Wen Kai joked, and Wen Ying smiled and nodded: "Of course I can. I made an agreement with my mother before the competition. If I can win the prize, she can no longer stop me from reading extracurricular books!"
Chen Ru doesn't allow Wen Ying to watch, but Wen Ying still watches secretly.
However, being able to openly display extracurricular books in the room was a brand new experience for Wen Ying.
After returning to Chengdu, Wen Ying and Chen Ru did not mention this matter, but after Wen Ying finished her final exams, Chen Ru added a new bookshelf to Wen Ying's room. It was obvious that Manager Chen had no intention of going back on his word.
This surprised Wen Ying a little. With her mother's temper, she would struggle even if she lost, but this time she was so straightforward - forget it, there was no need for her to dwell on this subtle anomaly. After all, it was a good change that Manager Chen was willing to accept the defeat.
"Brother Kai, stop talking about me. How do you feel about repeating a semester?"
Wen Kai wanted to repeat his grade, and Wen Dongrong initially planned to help send Wen Kai to Chengdu.
The teaching level in Rongcheng is higher. Wen Kai exceeded the first-tier line by more than 30 points last year. Like Wen Ying in her previous life, he is a student of average wealth but hard work. If he wants to improve his scores during the re-examination, he can no longer rely on simple practice questions. He should focus more on improving his understanding of weak subjects. The teachers at Rongcheng High School may be able to give Wen Kai better guidance.
But Wen Kai didn't go.
He felt he could do it on his own.
Wen Kai is a person who would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. When he was asked to go to a key high school in Chengdu, facing a group of classmates who were better than him in every aspect, he felt too much pressure and could not study well.
When Wen Ying asked about his retake, Wen Kai pushed his glasses up his nose and smiled reservedly, "It went pretty well. Now that I'm reviewing more specifically, I should be able to improve my score."
In order to study in Beijing, Wen Kai set a goal for himself to score above 600 points.
The brother and sister were talking when there was some noise outside.
Wen Kai opened the door and saw that it was Wen Hongyan and Shu Lu, mother and daughter.
This mother and daughter are so shameless. They always come to the house even though they know they are not welcome. They also choose the time to come when the whole family is having a party.
Before they came, there was laughter in Wen Kai's living room. As soon as they came, the laughter disappeared instantly. Chen Ru didn't curse, but the smile on her face disappeared.
Wen Hongyan greeted Chen Ru with a flattering face, but Chen Ru ignored her. She then pleaded with Wen Dongrong, "Brother, I still want to go back to work at the factory. Please help me. As long as you say a few good words for me, the factory won't dare to refuse me. We are siblings. Do you really want to piss me off for the rest of my life?"
Wen Hongyan not only begged Wen Dongrong, but also cried to her mother, saying that she really knew she was wrong. Now her brother was an official in a good unit, did he really want to watch her and her mother starve to death?
Grandma Wen felt bad when she heard this, but her son didn't say anything, and the old lady didn't say anything either. The other people in the Wen family were even less likely to stand up for Wen Hongyan. This shows how much of a failure Wen Hongyan was in her past life.
Before Wen Hongyan left Chengdu, she was cheated out of all her property, including the valuable gifts Shu Lu received from Cai Youlun. When they returned to their hometown, the little money they had could not last long.
Wen Hongyan had no diploma and no skills, and there were few jobs in small cities. She felt her back hurt when she washed dishes, and she had to argue with customers when she helped people sell goods. She had worked several part-time jobs, but none of them were as stable as her previous job in the factory, which also provided social security, so she wanted to go back to work in the factory.
The factory hired her because of Wen Dongrong's face. After she resigned, a new person was hired to replace her previous position. The new person was younger and more hardworking than Wen Hongyan. The human resources manager was so angry that he fired the new employee and replaced Wen Hongyan.
Wen Hongyan quarreled with the HR manager, saying that the HR manager was looking down on her. The HR manager was so angry that he said: If the factory wants to recruit Wen Hongyan back to work, the HR manager will resign.
Wen Hongyan had just finished arguing with the HR manager when someone told Wen Dongrong.
