Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Chapter 473 Xu Hongdou's Cursing

Although Xu Hongdou was left feeling helpless by Li Haoyu's forced participation, she still decided to step in and help Li Haoyu negotiate the price of the RV.

Don't be fooled by Xu Hongdou's soft-spoken manner.

However, it was unyielding on key issues. It held firm on both vehicle maintenance and discounts. In fact, the saleswoman was caught off guard.

The two started arguing right in front of Li Haoyu.

They argued for almost half an hour.

The battle was really intense.

In the end, the saleswoman couldn't hold on any longer and went to the manager for help. Ultimately, the manager finalized the discount offer.

Not only was the total price of the RV tens of thousands of yuan cheaper, but it was also significantly cheaper.

They also gave us a bunch of gifts and three free maintenance services.

During the price negotiation process, Xu Hongdou...

Li Haoyu never interfered even once.

He watched as Xu Hongdou skillfully defused the two salesmen's offensive attacks.

Several sharp viewpoints were put forward.

The other person was speechless for a moment.

This caused the expressions on the faces of the two people opposite to shift from sunny to cloudy. Fortunately, when Li Haoyu swiped his card, they once again showed their brightest smiles.

However, after experiencing this incident...

This experience completely changed Li Haoyu's opinion of Xu Hongdou. Xu Hongdou was truly a capable woman; she wasn't the spendthrift type. Marrying her would save him a lot of trouble.

To be honest, does Li Haoyu really care about those tens of thousands of yuan in discounts and gifts? He does care, but not much. But Li Haoyu can definitely do without those discounts.

But the other party cannot refuse to give it.

This is a matter of principle.

…………

Xu Hongdou and Li Haoyu were escorted by sales staff.

The two walked out of the 4S store.

Xu Hongdou then suddenly came to her senses.

Although she was in charge of negotiating the price... did she really just buy a million-dollar RV?

Is this how rich people buy cars?

Xu Hongdou had seen many wealthy people buy cars before, but Li Haoyu was the first one to be so casual about it... probably because he was really too rich.

Isn't this a bit outrageous?

How did I suddenly become a bargainer?

Although she agreed to go to Dali with Li Haoyu:

But it didn't say we'd live in a campervan together!

So what should we do tonight?

Xu Hongdou suddenly felt a little regretful last night.

I shouldn't have impulsively agreed to Li Haoyu's offer. Now that Li Haoyu has even bought the car, wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to refuse?

Thinking about all this, Xu Hongdou hesitated for a moment but still forced herself to say, "It doesn't seem quite right for us to go on a trip together in this car."

"Maybe we should just forget about it?"

Xu Hongdou's sudden words also surprised Li Haoyu slightly.

Is he upset?

Li Haoyu glanced at her, and he roughly guessed where his problem lay.

Money is indeed a wonderful thing; sometimes it really has the power to make women lose their minds. Ninety percent of girls would probably go weak in the knees if they met an interesting man like Li Haoyu.

However, there are always a few rational girls who will keep their distance from such people.

Because the gap is indeed quite large.

In fact, most girls hope that their boyfriends are a little better than them, but not too much better, because if the gap is too big, it will make the girl feel insecure.

Because if two people are truly worlds apart, it's very difficult for them to end up together. But even knowing the gap, most girls still fantasize that they are Cinderella.

Little do people know that glass slippers are basically made to order; there aren't that many readily available ones. It's like how most female celebrities have dated wealthy men, but some have even had several children with them.

They still do not have a legitimate status.

Therefore, Xu Hongdou's actions were actually quite rational.

Li Haoyu guessed Xu Hongdou's thoughts.

Instead of panicking, he calmed down.

He laughed and said to Xu Hongdou, "You didn't actually think we were just going to sleep in the RV all the way to Dali, did you?"

Xu Hongdou was stunned by Li Haoyu's words. "Isn't that right? Otherwise, why would you spend so much money? Isn't it just so you can live in the car?"

Li Haoyu waved his hand and said, "Have you ever lived in a motorhome?"

Xu Hongdou shook her head immediately.

Li Haoyu explained, "RVs aren't actually as comfortable as you might imagine, especially when it comes to sleeping at night. And you can't stay in the city as long as you want."

"If you stay there too long, security guards will come and kick you out, even if you pay to stay in the parking lot."

"When you're sleeping, you might suddenly realize that the sound of someone closing a car door, which you usually don't notice, sounds like thunder in the middle of the night. It would be a miracle if you got a good night's sleep."

Xu Hongdou saw that Li Haoyu was speaking logically and persuasively.

She couldn't help but ask, "Where can we choose a quiet place? Like a park, that would be great! The air is fresh and the environment is lovely."

Li Haoyu smiled upon hearing this.

Xu Hongdou is, after all, still a girl.

It is also full of unrealistic fantasies.

Li Haoyu curled his lip and said, "You're too naive. The loudspeakers used for square dancing will become your nightmare. Never underestimate the fighting power of square dancing aunties."

Li Haoyu continued to explain, "If you really want to have the best experience, you still need to go to the designated RV park. That's because only there is a quiet place with access to water and electricity."

"Even if you can handle everything yourself, and all your eating, drinking, and relieving yourself needs can be done in the car, the new 69 Bookstore → RV Base has another irreplaceable advantage..."

Xu Hongdou listened with rapt attention.

Li Haoyu suddenly stopped talking, which piqued her interest.

This left her somewhat helpless, as she was genuinely interested in this subject. However, half the credit should go to Li Haoyu's storytelling ability.

What was supposed to be a simple explanation of RV knowledge came out of Li Haoyu's mouth, giving Xu Hongdou the feeling of listening to a stand-up comedy routine.

That's really interesting.

Especially Li Haoyu's sense of helplessness when talking about the square dancing aunties.

A low voice, a drooping head, and a helpless look in his eyes.

This made Xu Hongdou wonder if Li Haoyu had also been hurt by the square-dancing aunties. "This won't fill you up, will it?" Xu Hongdou almost burst out laughing.

Anyway, as bystanders, Li Haoyu and Xu Hongdou were really enjoying the conversation.

Li Haoyu looked at Xu Hongdou's expectant eyes.

He achieved his goal.

Actually, most guys have a misconception that girls aren't interested in guys' things. Besides their romantic history, what girls really want to know is...

They also hope to have common topics with boys, and even do things together.

At this point, what a guy should do is not force himself to promote his hobbies. Many guys like to exaggerate the things they like to the point of being unparalleled.

This puts the girl in an awkward position. It makes it seem like if she doesn't like the guy's hobbies, it becomes her problem.

If you force it like that, nine out of ten girls will resist.

Don't treat your girlfriend like a fool and lie to her that the PS5 is a 5G router. This joke has been around for years. Do you really think your girlfriend doesn't use TikTok?!

Of course, the more important reason is that this PS5 no longer looks like a router. I can't lie to my girlfriend that it's a router anymore; I need to come up with a different excuse!

You could call it a signal booster.

However, most people probably don't have this problem, because they probably don't have a girlfriend yet.

Anyway, if this kind of thing happened to Li Haoyu...

He would use a roundabout way to persuade his girlfriend. Li Haoyu would first trick her into playing the Ring Fit Adventure, saying that playing the game would help her lose weight.

Basically, no girl will resist the hook; at least most girls are willing to give it a try. Once a girl is hooked, movies like "Breakup Kitchen" and "Two People Go Together" will be all on the menu.

Once girls have developed a gaming addiction, trust their purchasing power. From then on, you'll never have to worry about upgrading your game console again; they'll upgrade even more frequently than boys.

Li Haoyu handled the situation in the RV in the same way. He deliberately chose a humorous approach to pique Xu Hongdou's interest.

It seems to be working really well now.

Li Haoyu didn't keep anyone in suspense, "RVs are just like people, there's always something coming in and something going out. If you use so much water, you have to discharge a lot of wastewater."

"So you have to find a place with sewers to park, otherwise the ground will be full of sewage, or you'll be driven away by the sanitation workers in a few days. At that time, I could only run away wearing a mask and looking dusty."

After saying that, Li Haoyu made a gesture of running away with his head in his hands.

"Ha ha"

This time, Xu Hongdou was genuinely amused by Li Haoyu.

Xu Hongdou couldn't help but say, "Then you've become a complete swindler! Why did you spend so much money?"

Li Haoyu smiled and said, "Isn't that contradictory? Sleeping isn't as comfortable as in a hotel room with a king-size bed."

"But isn't it more comfortable for you during the day? Even the view from the window isn't as great as other people's. Is it not worth the investment for that?"

"After all, the money I spent on buying a motorhome was just a little extra money for me."

"But your costs are much higher than mine. After all, you're a woman, and you quit a job you've worked hard for and achieved considerable success in. Looking at it that way, you're the one who's truly going all in. What do I have to complain about?"

"So I have no choice but to accompany you, and besides, this car is much more enjoyable to drive than usual. I'm not losing out at all!"

Xu Hongdou heard Li Haoyu say this.

She was a little speechless. They were talking about cars, so why did Li Haoyu suddenly start praising her? This made her feel embarrassed.

Li Haoyu noticed that Xu Hongdou remained hesitant.

He finally unleashed his trump card.

"Actually, if you still don't think it's suitable, we can change to another car for the trip. However, there's a fatal problem with that, which I think you might not be able to accept?"

Xu Hongdou listened to Li Haoyu's words.

She couldn't help but roll her eyes at Li Haoyu.

"What's the problem? Don't look down on me, okay? I've worked in hotels for so many years, and when it comes to hard work and endurance, I've never been inferior to any guy."

"Besides, we're going on vacation, not to do hard labor. What could be so unacceptable to me?"

Li Haoyu waved his hand, "Because we're going to Dali, Yunnan this time, I've chosen a route that's a bit unique."

"This way, the environment won't be damaged by ordinary tourists, and the scenery will be more beautiful and spectacular. I wonder if you agree with my idea?"

Xu Hongdou nodded immediately after hearing this.

What Li Haoyu said is absolutely correct.

That is indeed the current situation.

Li Haoyu saw that Xu Hongdou nodded.

He continued, "In that case, we also have to bear the corresponding costs of this choice. For example, some trails may be difficult to walk on, and there may not be any rest stops in those places."

Can you still accept this situation?

Xu Hongdou saw that Li Haoyu looked very serious.

She thought Li Haoyu would say something shocking.

Isn't this a perfectly normal thing?

Xu Hongdou nodded and said, "It's no big deal. Since you've chosen to travel, you'll definitely have to make some sacrifices. It's all for such beautiful scenery."

"This little sacrifice is nothing, don't worry, I can definitely accept it."

Seeing this, Li Haoyu nodded. "That's good. So, if necessary, is it alright to relieve ourselves outdoors?"

Xu Hongdou nodded subconsciously.

"Of course I didn't ask... What? Is it convenient outdoors?"

She thought she had misheard.

Xu Hongdou asked uncertainly, "Did I hear that right? Are you saying it's convenient to say what I'm thinking?"

Li Haoyu looked at Xu Hongdou's embarrassed expression.

He was overjoyed.

But Li Haoyu still forced himself not to laugh.

"You understand correctly, it's the kind of thing where you need to find a secluded spot outdoors. If it's a large area, you might need to cover it up with some soil."

Xu Hongdou: "This... if that's really the case..."

Xu Hongdou stammered and couldn't speak.

She no longer had that confident and assertive demeanor she had just displayed.

Li Haoyu then added, "Actually, there are alternative solutions."

Xu Hongdou heard Li Haoyu say this.

She breathed a long sigh of relief.

If there were alternative methods, that would be good.

She asked curiously, "So what other good ideas are there? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Li Haoyu said, "We can also buy adult diapers! They're actually a lifesaver for traffic jams. They're much safer and more convenient than going outdoors. The only downside is that they smell a bit strong."

Xu Hongdou's eyes, which had been shining brightly, were now filled with tears.

It went dark instantly.

What kind of crazy solutions are these?

Xu Hongdou really felt that life was really hard.

This time, Li Haoyu could no longer hold back.

This Xu Hongdou is too easy to fool.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but say, "How can you think about something so absurd so seriously? You don't actually believe it, do you?"

"Then I have one final question: outdoor solutions for adult diapers. Ms. Xu Hongdou, please state your final choice carefully."

"I'm really looking forward to your answer."

Xu Hongdou heard this.

She knew perfectly well that Li Haoyu was joking with her.

Her face instantly turned as red as a monkey's bottom.
