Chapter 388 I Got a New Car
I leave work promptly at 5 PM.
Shen Buyu and Zhang Luo walked out together.
“I’m so lucky. Sister Fang Qi is so generous and considerate. I’m not nervous at all now,” Zhang Luo said, linking arms with Chen Buyu. Looking around, she whispered, “You’re the one who’s unlucky. I heard that Jiang Li is known for her bad temper in the translation department. She never gives anyone a friendly look.”
"Who told you that?" Shen Buyu asked subconsciously.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Luo's face. "I heard it from someone else while I was eating."
Chen Buyu did not ask any further questions.
She just blurted it out.
Who else can I listen to?
She spent the whole day with Fang Qi.
Currently, it seems that Jiang Li is more difficult to get along with than Fang Qi.
Could it be that Huo Qingci remembered her and was deliberately messing with her?
"Hey," Chen Buyu shook his head, "it doesn't matter. It's only for a month. She's here to study, not to go on a blind date."
As he walked to the parking lot outside the translation office, Chen Buyu slowed his pace and glanced around.
I already have a plan in mind.
Most of the cars are priced between 100,000 and 200,000 yuan, with a smaller portion priced between 400,000 and 500,000 yuan.
Cars priced around one million are almost nonexistent.
So, given her current status...
"Miss, here's a helmet." Mu Zi, wearing a black helmet, handed her a pink one with a Kitty print.
"When did you arrive?" Shen Buyu took the helmet and put it on.
"Three o'clock," Mu Zi answered truthfully.
"It's not that I don't want you to come so early, it's just that the sun is so strong now, and you're just standing there in the sun." Shen Buyu said a few words to her, "There will be a fixed time for the next month, so don't just wait outside like an idiot."
"Oh," Mu Zi replied obediently, "Shall we go home? Or go find Young Master Si?"
"Instead of going home, let's go to the used car market."
An hour later, Mu Zi, who had hardly ever frowned at Shen Buyu, had her brows furrowed almost together.
The Shen family has so many cars, and Yi-ge's family has so many cars.
Sedan, sports car, SUV—if the young lady wanted it, there was no vehicle she couldn't use.
But why did Miss...?
"Miss, why don't you think about it?" Mu Zi stopped Shen Buyu, who was about to pay.
"No need to think about it, it's so cheap, I'll take it."
He silently and decisively signed the payment form.
When the black Jetta, whose number of previous owners was unknown, drove into the Shen family's courtyard, the butler was inspecting the plants in the yard.
He stared blankly as his young lady happily got out of the car.
"Ah... good morning, miss, no, good evening, miss. What is this car?"
"Oh, this is my new car. Could you call the property management and ask them to register it for me? They wouldn't let me in at the gate earlier, so I had to use facial recognition."
"Ah? Ah, oh, okay." The butler quickly composed himself. "I understand, Miss."
After Shen Buyu entered the room, the butler walked around the car twice.
No wonder it's blocking the entrance; this car probably wouldn't even cover a month's property management fees.
"Mom! Dad! I'm home!" Shen Buyu shouted excitedly.
Everyone inside looked over with smiles.
"How was it? Did anyone give you a hard time on your first day?" Shen Zhiye was restless all day. Sending such a young child to work was causing such a commotion.
“No one made things difficult for me; I’m a dad who’s going to study.”
"How was the food at the restaurant? I asked you to take a picture of it, but you didn't," Lan Xinyan said reproachfully. "Did you not eat?"
"I ate at my mom's. The company cafeteria is very good, clean and hygienic. It's just that I ate with a senior colleague at noon, so I was too embarrassed to take pictures."
"Is there anything you need your older brother to handle?" Shen Yanzhou had been told by his younger sister not to ask anyone for help, and he had obediently listened. Only now did he realize how worried he was.
"No, brother, I'm fine."
"Hey, you're all alone? Where's Jingxu? Wasn't he the one who went to pick you up?" Shen Yunqi looked back and only saw Mu Zi come in.
"I drove myself back!" Shen Buyu proudly waved his car keys. "I got a new car!"
"What kind of car is it? I need to see it." Shen Yunqi chuckled. "When did you order the car?"
"Today, you can pay and pick up your car on the same day." Shen Buyu was extremely proud.
“How is that possible?” Shen Yunqi paused. “You’ve been scammed. They sold you a flood-damaged car or an accident-damaged car. How could they possibly have one in stock?”
The family stood in a row, and when they saw the black car, they all fell silent.
"This car..." Shen Zhiye searched for a long time but couldn't find anything to praise. "Daughter, you can drive any car in the house. If you don't like any, Dad will buy you a new one, okay?"
"Buyu, did you buy this car?" Shen Yanzhou asked with difficulty.
For a moment, he suspected that his sister had been scammed and that he had no choice but to buy the car.
Shen Yunqi inspected the car carefully, his face darkening. "This car is almost older than you. Did you drive it back from a scrap yard?"
"How could that be! The car salesman said it's a ten-year-old car, no bigger than me, and I spent 18,000 yuan on it." Shen Buyu was very satisfied. It was economical and low-key; she really knew how to manage her money.
Shen Yunqi closed his eyes and slapped his forehead, utterly helpless. "You made 17,000 on a car that costs 18,000? No, Shen Buyu, what were you thinking? Why buy a car that's going to be scrapped? You've had too much good food and now you crave a piece of pickled vegetable?"
Shen Buyu felt a little embarrassed by what she was being told, even though she genuinely thought the car was great.
“This car is such a great value,” she said softly, touching the car’s side mirrors with her head down. “The accelerator and brakes are working perfectly.”
"Alright, if Buyu likes it, she can keep it. We'll have someone check the car for her tomorrow." Shen Yanzhou gave his younger brother a wink, signaling him to end the conversation.
"Goodness, this car isn't even pink, why did you buy it?" Lan Xinyan asked, pulling Shen Buyu's hand as they walked into the house.
"It's nothing. My professor told me to keep a low profile during the month I'm studying, but after thinking about it, we don't have a discreet car, so I just bought one."
Now I understand.
The child doesn't want to show his face.
"Let's eat first," Shen Zhiye said with a smile as he walked into the house. "Your mother was so worried today. She didn't even go when Long Yu's mother invited her to play cards."
"How dare you say that to me?" Lan Xinyan pretended to be angry and slapped Shen Zhiye's arm. "You barely ate anything at lunch and drove around the entrance of his workplace several times."
"Hey, give me some face in front of the kids."
While Shen Buyu was moved, she began to ponder one thing: had she really been ripped off when she bought that little car?
When Song Jingyi came to find his sister for dinner, he saw the two brothers, Shen Yanzhou and Shen Yunqi, pointing and gesturing at a piece of scrap metal.
"What is this?" he asked with disdain.
Shen Yunqi hissed, "Don't even mention it. My sister spent 18,000 yuan on a new car. Jingyi, are you interested in taking me for a spin?"
