Chapter 139 Buy a Companion Car Xiao Huang Hide and Seek
The company that Shen Technology recommended to Secretary Yao was much more thoughtful than the one they recommended to Rong Zhen.
The other party has been a long-term partner of Shen's, and the person in charge of the company is an outstanding young woman. It is a good place for working women.
But precisely because it was so good, the competition was so fierce that even Secretary Yao was not sure that he would be selected, let alone Rong Zhen, whose work experience and qualifications were not as good as Secretary Yao.
She is very experienced in being a female CEO, but no one will give up their position to her.
So Rongzhen could only politely decline Secretary Yao's proposal.
She decided to choose Ji Yue's job. Her strange instinct, which gradually took over, told her that there was something there that would attract cats.
Therefore, even if it weren't for the generous salary, she would still stay and take a look at Kang Kang.
Secretary Yao didn't know about this and misunderstood that she didn't want to compete with her, even if there was only the slightest possibility. She felt guilty and touched. "Xiaozhen, you are such a kind and good girl. From now on, just call me Sister Yao. Thank you."
"Well, it's nothing actually. As long as you're happy." Rongzhen scratched his cheek.
Although I didn't understand why, I didn't explain anything further.
Afterwards, the two of them had lunch on the street and took a short break in a nearby park. Secretary Yao regrouped and went to another company for an interview, while Rongzhen ran to the electric vehicle store address she had provided earlier, preparing to buy a small electric scooter for transportation.
It is not easy to buy a car at the moment, because it costs at least ten times more than an electric scooter, and it takes time and effort to get a driver's license and apply for a license plate. It is not suitable for Rongzhen who needs to use a car for work next Monday.
It would be a good idea to buy an economical and easy-to-use electric car. Anyway, the old building in the urban village is not far from Jiyue Group.
Rongzhen took the bus there and told the shop owner, "Sister Yao recommended me here. She said your electric bikes have guaranteed after-sales service and are of excellent quality. And you can even get discounts if you're an acquaintance."
The shop owner said generously, "So you're Xiao Yao's friend. Take a look around. If you like any of them, I'll give you a 10% discount."
A 10% discount can save several hundred yuan, and Rong Zhen began to walk around the rows of brand new electric cars with satisfaction.
The car Sister Yao drives is sky blue, and she wants to buy a pink one.
After just one look around, none of the pink cars caught her eye. Instead, the yellow car next to the pink car caught her eye.
Rongzhen subconsciously walked forward to check, and suddenly found something wrong. Why did this little yellow car look old?
Rongzhen turned around and asked the boss, "Uncle, are you still in the used car business?"
The boss waved his hand and said, "I don't sell used cars here. If you want a used one, my wife's shop on the next street has some. You can go and have a look."
Wow, you two have bought both new and old cars.
"Then why is there an old car here? Was it put in the wrong place?" Rongzhen wanted to point out the little yellow car to the boss, but when she turned around, she found that there was no old car there. There was clearly nothing behind the pink car.
The boss came over and confirmed, "I personally placed the cars this morning, and I'm pretty sure the last row is the pink car."
He thought Rongzhen might have seen it wrongly.
If Rongzhen were an ordinary person, he might also suspect that he was seeing things.
But she remembered very clearly that she did see an old yellow electric car parked next to the pink car in the last position.
But now it's gone. Something must be wrong. Thinking of her bad luck, it couldn't be another...
Rongzhen declined the boss's recommendation and decided to take a look for herself. After walking around twice, she saw the little yellow car in the corner of the front row again.
But in the blink of an eye, it disappeared again.
Okay, okay, let’s play hide-and-seek with her real cat, right?
Rongzhen then tried several times in succession and found that the other party always disappeared the next second after she noticed it, and then appeared in a place out of her sight that was easy to find, waiting for her to discover him.
Hey, is it fun to provoke me? Let me show you the power of future cats!
The next time Rongzhen saw the shared yellow bike, she didn't look over immediately. She just watched its movements out of the corner of her eye, and then pretended to be ignorant. She looked left and right, east and west, but couldn't see it.
Xiao Huang waited there for a long time but saw no movement. He thought the cat had hidden too well this time, so he secretly moved to another place where it would be easier to be found.
Rongzhen continued to look around as if she didn't notice anything, and pretended to be interested in a small pink car.
Xiao Huang was now anxious and quickly moved to a position less than three meters away from her.
Rongzhen still pretended to be blind and fiddled with the little pink car, unable to let it go.
Xiao Huang changed again, moved one meter closer, changed again, moved one meter closer again, and finally succeeded in touching Rong Zhen, exposed clearly under her nose.
The moment Rongzhen saw it appear, the corners of his mouth curled up, he quickly reached out to grab the handlebars, straddled it and rode on.
Little guy, I got you!
The shared bike realized it had been tricked and twisted its body to try and break free from her.
The boss's loud voice suddenly approached from a distance, and he laughed and said, "So there really is an old car mixed in there! I didn't even notice it when I was parking the cars this morning. It's really because you young people, niece, have sharp eyes."
"Uncle, how much is this?" Rong Zhen started the Xiao Huang and drove it for a few steps. He found that it could be used just like a normal car, and might even be more convenient, so he decided to take it.
Hey, it’s a rare opportunity to encounter a strange vehicle, but it’s definitely not easy to come across. Now that you’ve encountered it, don’t even think about running away.
Xiao Huang was as quiet as a chicken. After the car salesman came over, he treated himself as an ordinary electric car.
Rongzhen smiled thoughtfully after noticing it.
The boss didn't notice anything unusual about the shared bike. Although he wondered how such an old bike could be mixed in with the new ones, he just thought it was due to his own negligence. When he heard that someone wanted to buy it, even his doubts disappeared and he immediately took out his cell phone to call his wife.
While explaining to Rongzhen, "My wife is in charge of used cars. I need to ask her the price."
The boss’ wife quoted a price of eight hundred yuan.
This was the price of a 90% new second-hand electric car that Rong Zhen had checked online before coming here. The shared bikes were obviously not that new, at most 80% new.
Therefore, Rongzhen bargained for 600, but the boss lowered the price to 750 on the grounds that it came with a battery, was repaired, and included after-sales service.
Rongzhen said that the Xiao Huang was old in appearance, very small, and difficult to sell, so she reduced the price by fifty.
Finally, after a heated argument, Xiao Huang was sold for seven hundred.
Both parties exchanged money and cars, and were smiling happily, except for the car in question, Xiao Huang. On the way Rong Zhen was driving it home, it was acting awkwardly as if it was sulking, and kept wanting to drive her into the green belt on the side of the road.
Rongzhen scratched the dull yellow paint on the car with his sharp cat claws, and persuaded (threateningly) as he drove, "Didn't you want to get my attention and take you home? Why are you unhappy now that I bought you?"
The shared bike twisted and accidentally scraped off a few pieces of paint, making him feel even more depressed.
Rongzhen's mouth twitched, and she said with a guilty conscience, "Alright, alright, I'm not just any ordinary person. From now on, just follow me and enjoy the good life. Now, let me buy you a can of car paint. What color do you like? Glossy or matte?"
Xiao Huang, who was as easy to coax as a child, began to struggle with his choice and even forgot about the awkwardness he had just caused in the back of the car.
Rongzhen became happy and hummed a little tune as she drove to a hardware and building materials store on the nearby street. She secretly asked Xiao Huang to make the decision, and finally she chose a can of warm yellow spray paint.
It seems that Xiao Huang still likes his own color very much.
The hardware store owner is very good at doing business. He can help you spray it for a little extra money, and even add patterns and signatures.
Rongzhen didn't want to attract too much attention, and Xiaohuang didn't mean to either. In the end, they just sprayed it again as it was, and did some quick-drying and maintenance. It was almost dark.
Sister Yao sent a message saying that she had narrowly passed the interview and no longer had to worry about the household expenses for the second half of the year. She asked her to go shopping and have barbecue with her on the weekend to celebrate.
Rongzhen has been busy making a living since she came here and hasn't made any friends. Sister Yao is a pretty good person and is worth getting to know.
So she happily agreed.
Even if she is expelled from the human race and becomes a cat in the future, it will not prevent her from making friends now.
On the appointed Saturday, Rongzhen drove his newly acquired Buddy to the appointment and spent a happy and perfect day with his new friend.
The next day, Rongzhen went to the labor market in high spirits to find a decorator, intending to do some simple renovations on her small house and, by the way, fulfill her promise to the old building by painting its facade white.
Otherwise, every time she passed by downstairs, the other side would drop a few pieces of broken wall to remind her.
Is Rongzhen the kind of person who doesn't keep her word? She really judges people by their appearance.
The labor market was not far away in the other direction of the urban village. Rong Zhen originally planned to go there and find a contractor with his own team and hand over all the work to him. She would only need to supervise the progress and pay. With Laolou secretly watching over her, the quality of the work would not be bad.
But when she went to the place and talked to the people about it, they all shook their heads and waved their hands in resistance, as if they were very taboo about something, and refused to take the job no matter what she said.
Rongzhen roughly understood why, so she had to increase the price and promised that she would just paint the walls and do some simple renovations.
There is little work and the price is high, but no one dares to take the job.
After all, no matter how much money you have, you still have to live to spend it.
Finally, a lame old man who was too old and frail to find a job tried to negotiate with Rong Zhen: "How about I buy you the materials and tell you how to make it, and then you can go home and do it yourself? If you can, I'll just pay you a little bit for the labor."
Rongzhen: ...Let her come? I can't do that!
Not to mention that she has to go to work on Monday and has no time to do these things, the key is that she has never done it before and doesn't know how to do it. If she learns now, she doesn't know when she will be able to finish it.
Her priorities are elsewhere and she can't waste her time on these trivial matters.
If it really doesn't work, I won't do anything at home, but Lao Lou's whitewashing cannot be cancelled, and Lou's mother will definitely make a fuss.
So Rongzhen asked back, "Can I just give it to you? I have to go to work and don't have time."
The old lame man who just wanted to earn a living as a helper: "......!"
Well, it's okay. He's already this old anyway. He lives today and not tomorrow. He'll just live one day at a time. If something unexpected happens, that's his fate.
Although many people around him advised him to think twice, he finally gritted his teeth and took on the job and began to make a list of materials for Rongzhen.
Rongzhen took him on trips whenever she had free time, paid for the purchases, and then piled them up in front of the old building.
The old lady from Nannan's family stood in the shadow of the doorway, watching them busy at work, and asked softly, "Cat girl, what are you doing?"
When the old lame man heard the sound, his hands trembled uncontrollably and he almost dropped a bucket of latex paint. He turned his back to the door and didn't dare to look back.
Rong Zhen pretended not to notice his stiffness and trembling, and replied very naturally, "They're painting our building white. This is the construction worker I hired. He'll be busy here for the next few days. I won't be here during the day. If you are free, could you help keep an eye on it?"
Don't be afraid to be scared to death or swallowed by other ghosts in the building.
Although the probability of such a thing happening during the day is very low, since this old lady can appear during the day, who knows whether other ghosts can also come out during the day to wander around and look for food.
