- After going back to return the little car Jingrui to Sister Juan, Li Zhuang was thinking about what car to buy.
When I used a Jetta in the past, I thought it met my requirements at first. Later, when I got rich, I didn¡¯t want to change it. It became a habit. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened, and the poor Jetta was smashed to pieces. To pretend or not to pretend is a question for Li Zhuang. He stays in the laboratory all year round and really doesn't care about cars. He never thought that a good car meant anything, at least it was a national treasure. No one dared to look down on him when he drove a low-end Corolla, and he had to call him "Dr. Sun" or "Teacher Sun" obediently.
After thinking about it, I have always liked the Mercedes-Benz ML350. I used to see others driving it and I was very envious. How about buying one myself?
Although K City is the regional capital, it is underdeveloped. There are no Mercedes-Benz 4S stores and dealers in S City, so we have to go to the provincial capital.
Li Zhuang made up his mind and called Li Meng to go to the provincial capital to see the car together. Li Meng had nothing to do during this period. Most of the big men were interested in cars, so Li Zhuang's proposal was exactly what he wanted.
The two of them took a ride to the provincial capital early the next morning. S city is not far from the provincial capital and will arrive soon. The Mercedes-Benz 4S store is on the car street, where there are cars selling everywhere.
Looking at the two people who came in, the salesman hurriedly greeted them. Li Zhuang's clothes are relatively ordinary, while Li Meng's is a typical simple dress. The salesman's eyes were very poisonous, and he could tell at a glance that Li Meng was either a security guard or an ordinary worker, but he was not sure what Li Zhuang did. There are all kinds of people these days. Once he saw an old man driving a shabby Fukang pick up an Audi a6l3.0t.
"Is there any ml350?" Li Zhuang asked.
"Sorry, we don't have this car in stock, you have to reserve it. This car is selling very well now." The salesman looked apologetic.
"Then what other cars do you have in the ML series?" Li Zhuang likes the styling of the ML, but he doesn't care about the power.
¡°There is only one ml450 hybrid left,¡± the salesman replied. He has always been annoyed by this ml450h, which has been unable to be sold for a long time. Who cares about the fuel consumption among rich people? Foreigners sometimes cannot fully understand the consumption habits of wealthy people in China.
"May I take a look at it?"
"Of course, you can follow me." The salesman was a little surprised. The price difference between the ML450 hybrid and the ML350 was huge. He was a little undecided whether he should remind the customer about the price of the car, lest the customer know that he was buying it. I was embarrassed when I couldn't afford it, and thus lost all the ml350 orders that I could have obtained.
Li Zhuang took a look at the appearance of the car. It was okay and well protected. When he started the engine, he could tell from the sound that there was nothing wrong with the car. To be safe, I opened the engine cover and took a closer look inside the cabin. The workmanship is very exquisite. According to the engine nameplate, the factory time is not too long, which is acceptable.
¡°This is the car, can I pick it up today?¡± Li Zhuang asked.
The salesman was immediately overjoyed. He didn¡¯t expect that this car that was difficult to repair was finally sold. It seemed that he would have to wipe his eyes out in the future. Fortunately, there was no warning in advance, otherwise the customer might have other ideas.
The 4S store was going through the formalities. After Li Zhuang paid, he had nothing to do. He was a little bored sitting in the lounge. He remembered that Lisa didn¡¯t have a car in China. How about buying her one? Lisa likes Mini very much, which is what is called BMW Mini in China. BMW is BMW, and Mini is Mini. Although they are both part of the BMW Group, the Chinese people's habit of saving face has been inherited. Although some people just follow others, it does not mean that What are your tendencies?
BMW¡¯s 4S store is right opposite Mercedes-Benz. Maybe the two companies have the idea of ????fighting. No matter how many people there are in Li Zhuang, being close still saves a lot of travel. He asked Li Meng to watch here while he went to the BMW 4S store opposite.
Mini has many fans in the provincial capital and its sales volume is not small, so it always has inventory. Li Zhuang likes a blue 1.6 car, and Lisa also likes blue. He thought that in the future, two people could drive it. If he bought a pink one, he would not be so shameless to drive it around.
We checked the car and found that there was no problem. We paid by card. After paying, I waited in the lobby for the 4S store to handle insurance and other procedures. There are a lot of procedures for buying a car in China. There is nothing you can do about it. This is the national condition, so you have to endure it.
Waiting is rarely difficult for Li Zhuang, and his time is precious. I borrowed a pen and a dozen pieces of A4 paper from the front desk, and started writing and drawing on the table, figuring out the difficulties of some procedures. Others were either chatting and laughing, drinking tea or coffee leisurely, or bargaining with salesmen. Li Zhuang's behavior was somewhat unusual. The beautiful front desk lady kept staring at him and kept approaching him. Finally, she planned to give him her phone number, but Li Zhuang refused with a smile. The words "I am a married person" made the front desk a little disappointed. It seemed that the Diamond King There really aren't many Lao Wu.
Talking about brand-name car 4S storesThe service staff really have some stories to tell. Many beautiful little girls are desperately trying to squeeze in. Although the salary is not high, they are very attractive. As long as you enter here, you will be one step closer to those golden husbands. The story of the prince and Cinderella will occasionally be staged, and the chance is much higher than winning the lottery.
The service efficiency of BMW 4S store is higher than that of Mercedes-Benz. Li Zhuang comes in last and comes out first. After some persuasion, he asked the 4S store to add more gas, and he drove the Mini to the door of the Mercedes-Benz 4S store, which made the salesman somewhat depressed.
¡°We also have a four-door version of Smart here, why not buy it from us?¡± He could only think to himself, and he also knew that many people in China would not accept Smart¡¯s style.
After buying a car, getting temporary passes, insurance policies, invoices, etc., Li Zhuang and Li Meng drove on the road. Li Meng drove a Mini and Li Zhuang drove an ML450h. After filling up their gas tanks, they went to a hotel near the gas station for dinner.
Li Meng is a good drinker, but he can¡¯t drink this time. Li Zhuang rarely drinks. He needs to stay awake enough. Alcohol can easily make people dull, so the two casually ordered some dishes, finished them hastily, and planned to hit the road.
Li Zhuang was walking ahead. As soon as he left the hotel door, he heard a voice calling him.
"Is it Xiaozhuang?" The woman who called him hesitated in her voice.
When Li Zhuang looked back, something clicked in his head. It was his cousin Lin Weihong. He had not seen her for more than ten years, but he still vaguely remembered her appearance.
"I don't recognize what Xiaozhuang is." Li Zhuang's face was full of indifference, and he walked away with Li Meng.
The woman watched Li Zhuang get into a Mercedes-Benz SUV and quickly drove away after starting the car. There was a trace of doubt on her face, maybe it really wasn't him? How could he afford a Mercedes-Benz? !
Sitting in the car, Li Zhuang's heart was racing. He had been there for more than ten years. The reason why he rarely stayed in the provincial capital was because he didn't want to see his uncle's family. This is the eternal pain in his heart. He only has this uncle, but his uncle let him down so much. When my mother was in poor health, she didn't see any help. It was so difficult for a lonely widowed woman to raise two children. On the day of his mother's funeral, he roared and kicked his uncle's family out. No one expected that a half-year-old child could be so angry.
His mother¡¯s stubbornness, his uncle¡¯s cowardice, and his aunt¡¯s arrogance have always remained fresh in his memory.
My cousin has changed a lot, and her temperament is also different from before. As people get older, their understanding of family relationships will be much deeper, and the frivolity and arrogance of youth will be more or less reduced. He rarely pays attention to the situation of his uncle's family, but he still knows something about it. Before his retirement, his aunt's father was a provincial cadre, but he passed away long ago. His aunt also passed away from a serious illness two years ago. He had not received the news, and even if he had received it, he would not have visited this woman.
The uncle¡¯s cowardice left his broken family with no support at all. If it weren¡¯t for his character, how could his mother have passed away so early, and how could he have had to struggle outside for so many years? He is confident that with his intelligence, it will be easy for him to get a doctorate. If there hadn't been such a big change in his family, he wouldn't have had to suffer outside for so many years. Sister Juan's enthusiastic help allows a half-year-old child to have enough time to study on his own without having to worry about the life of his younger sister.
He knew that his younger sister, Li Xiang, had occasionally had contact there in recent years, and had a good relationship with his eldest cousin's daughter; but the younger sister was the younger sister, and he was the younger sister. The younger sister was smooth sailing, had not experienced difficult struggles, and could not experience family affection. Betrayal is a huge blow to a teenager who has to go out to work before he is a minor.
He knew that his eldest cousin had a good life these years. He heard that he was working in a research institute after graduating from Ph.D. My cousin¡¯s husband is also very capable and his family is relatively wealthy, but what does all this have to do with him? They were just strangers to him, never offering help in times of need. In the first few years of working, Sister Juan¡¯s family was not rich, and her younger sister Li Xiang was in poor health. He sent almost all the hard-earned money he earned outside. Who could imagine a young man under 20 even buying a train ticket to go home to see his sister during the New Year? Can't bear to part with it?
The car was traveling very fast in the not-too-distant distance. In less than an hour, Li and Zhuang entered Brother Liu's factory.
Li Zhuang jumped out of the car and leaned on the car in a daze. Li Meng walked up to him and patted his shoulder, trying to comfort him. He sighed and said nothing. Li Meng was the person who experienced the story of the day Li Zhuang's mother passed away, and he could understand Li Zhuang's current mood.
Li Zhuang has no relatives on his father¡¯s side, and only an uncle on his mother¡¯s side. His sister Li Xiang is his only spiritual sustenance. The stronger a person is, the easier it is for him to fall into a trap and be unable to extricate himself. In this regard, Li Zhuang is very similar to his mother. The hostility between Li Zhuang's mother and her eldest brother was also partly related to the complicated political situation at that time. The death of Li Zhuang's grandfather was the trigger between them. Coupled with the fact that his sister-in-law felt that she was of noble birth at the time, the two were even more in conflict. .
doAs a junior, Li Zhuang could not understand what the grievances between the elders were about. He just thinks that no matter what the reason is, as a man, it is really heart-breaking to watch his only sister struggling in pain without helping her.
He doesn¡¯t plan to have any interactions with them in the future, and he doesn¡¯t care what the world thinks about his family relationship when he becomes prosperous. He only knows that if anyone makes him uncomfortable, he will not hesitate to cut off the relationship that cannot be chosen by him.
"Most relatives are unreliable, and friends are found by oneself." He has always believed in this view.
This is true.
