Chapter 94: The Drowned Disciple
Zhao Yunduo was "deploying troops" and discussing strategies, and Shen Linglan was not idle at all.
It happened to be the weekend, so she drove to a place selling electric bikes and bought five Ainiu electric bikes and five motorcycles in one go. With land transportation, Zhao Yunduo and his team could naturally exterminate zombies more easily. Even if they were caught by zombies, they could run faster, and the safety factor could be increased sharply.
After she ordered the car, she paid the money happily and asked the clerk to transport both the electric car and the motorcycle to the villa.
In addition to two-wheeled cars, Shen Linglan also wanted to try four-wheeled cars. She went to a 4S store and specially selected two cars that were suitable for crossing mountains and ridges, had excellent performance, and were suitable for carrying large objects. The recommender recommended two cars to her, and Shen Linglan bought them all with a credit card without even looking at the price.
The way she paid so readily delighted the salesperson in the 4S store. He looked at Shen Linglan as if she were gold. "Ms. Linglan, I'll have someone drive these two cars into your villa right away. Do you have any other needs?"
Shen Linglan shook her head. After buying the car, she had to go back and deliver it to Zhao Yunduo. She herself did not need a car.
Just as she was about to get back into her car and leave, she suddenly saw an acquaintance in the 4S store - Zhang Shengnan. She was sitting on the sofa resting, and she didn't know who she was talking to on the phone.
Shen Linglan was very grateful and respected this professor. She thought it was a rare opportunity to meet her outside, so she should say hello to her. She closed the car door that had just been opened, and walked towards Zhang Shengnan. The shopping guide who was about to see her off trotted to catch up with Shen Linglan.
"Ms. Linglan, do you know her?"
Shen Linglan nodded and asked the salesperson, "Is she here to buy a car, too?"
"Yes, she liked a car, but she's short of money or something, so she's calling her husband."
The salesperson also enthusiastically pointed out the car that Zhang Shengnan liked. It was an ordinary commercial vehicle, white in color, and looked very suitable for daily use. "That's the one. The full price is 270,000."
Shen Linglan actually felt that 270,000 was not expensive, and after Zhang Shengnan had done several tests on her, the money she gave Zhang Shengnan was enough to buy dozens of these cars. How could the money not be enough?
She suppressed her doubts and approached Zhang Shengnan. She heard Zhang Shengnan's calm voice suddenly become piercing. She yelled into the phone, "That money shouldn't have been ours! Yue'er was not in school when she died, and the money the school paid was not enough for her parents to live. I have extra money, so what's wrong with me subsidizing my most proud student?!"
Shen Linglan stopped and felt that she shouldn't go any further in this situation. But before she could turn around, she was seen by Zhang Shengnan who turned her head to the side to wipe her tears.
Zhang Shengnan wiped the tears from her eyes with her hands, and after hastily hanging up the phone, she stood up, quickly adjusted her expression, and smiled at Shen Linglan, "Ms. Shen, you are here too?"
"Professor Zhang, are you okay?"
Although she was smiling, Zhang Shengnan could not hide the sadness and anger on her face, and the tear marks at the corners of her eyes were also obvious.
Shen Linglan stood beside her, took out a piece of paper from the table and handed it to Zhang Shengnan. After Zhang Shengnan took the paper, she no longer concealed her smile, and the smile on her face turned into a bitter smile, "Sorry, I made you laugh."
"No." Shen Linglan shook her head. "If you have any difficulties, just tell me."
Zhang Shengnan didn't know whether she was weak for a moment or trusted Shen Linglan, so she told Shen Linglan the reason for the phone call.
She said she had a favorite student who drowned three years ago. The school compensated her parents 30,000 yuan out of humanitarianism, and she, as a teacher, also gave 20,000 yuan to the student's family. But the girl was the only daughter in the family. Her parents had been farmers all their lives, and the pride they had cultivated for most of their lives was gone in an instant. The parents, who were hit hard, began to fall ill frequently, and a haze had been hanging over their family for the past three years.
Zhang Shengnan helped them as much as he could in the past few years, and everything was quite harmonious at first. But since Shen Linglan spent a lot of money and asked Zhang Shengnan to make reagents, she donated half of the money to the school and took the other half to the girl's family to let her parents rebuild the dilapidated house. After treating the disease, Zhang Shengnan's family was in turmoil.
Zhang Shengnan's husband said that she has a sense of justice but no family, which is another kind of selfishness.
But her son had just graduated from college and wanted to buy a car for the family. Zhang Shengnan had saved a lot of money over the years, so she went to a 4S store and wanted to buy a car for her son, but she didn't expect that she was still short of the full amount, and the loan required the signature of both husband and wife.
Zhang Shengnan's husband took a huge commission from her and did not leave a penny for the family. She had a lot of complaints in her heart and now refused to come to the 4S store to sign with her to buy a car.
After Shen Linglan heard this, she waved to the salesperson without hesitation, "The car that Professor Zhang likes is mine."
After saying that, she handed her card to the shopping guide.
"That won't do--" Zhang Shengnan wanted to stop her, but the salesperson seemed to be used to this kind of scene. She was also afraid that a polite exchange of push and pull between them would make her lose the deal, so she quickly took Shen Linglan's card, and in less than a minute, 270,000 yuan was swiped out.
Zhang Shengnan has been a professor for many years and has always been obsessed with academics. She has a certain literati's nobleness. Her face suddenly turned red and she subconsciously wanted to reject Shen Linglan. But her son's commute to work takes two and a half hours every day by subway. Without a car, it would be difficult to move. If it was just her, she would not want to, but her son...
She thought about it, thanked Shen Linglan sincerely, and said that if Shen Linglan needed anything next time, she would definitely help her without hesitation.
Shen Linglan just did it as a piece of cake. Seeing that she was really shy, she didn't want to do something bad with good intentions and make Zhang Shengnan feel that she owed her something.
She thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that I have something else that I need your help with."
However, this was just a plan. Zhao Yunduo was still waiting for Shen Linglan. She didn't have much time to talk to Zhang Shengnan in detail, so she made an appointment with her to discuss it in detail another day.
When she returned to the villa, electric cars, motorcycles and cars were already neatly parked at the door of the villa. There was no one around. Shen Linglan and Zhao Yunduo communicated in their consciousness and prepared to transmit it to Zhao Yunduo.
This is their first time to teleport a vehicle, so they don't have to worry about the size of the electric vehicle. They don't know if it can be teleported if it doesn't fit in the car.
However, Zhao Yunduo still ran out of the house. After all ten cars were teleported from another world to her, she nervously slowed down her breathing and waited for Shen Linglan to deliver the car.
When the two off-road vehicles, one black and one gray, appeared in Zhao Yunduo's sight, she and Shen Linglan shouted in unison: "Yes!"
Even though they looked down upon each other's faces, they could both guess that the other person must be as happy as they were.
After all, off-road vehicles are much more convenient than electric vehicles.
The people in the house heard Zhao Yunduo's voice and ran out to see what was happening outside. They were all shocked by the scene outside.
"What is this!? A luxury car fell from the sky and landed on us?"
"One, two, three... ten. Wow, I have never seen so many motorcycles in my life."
Shen Linglan could hear the noise from here and laughed, "Don't worry, the excavator hasn't arrived yet!"
