Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 703 When We Were Young

Xiao Hong said angrily, "No, she was way away, at least ten meters away. Who knows why she was yelling?"

Hao Dawei said, "Don't accelerate when reversing. Just let the car move slowly on its own. Even if you bump into someone, it's okay. Besides, there are rearview mirrors."

Little Red lowered her head: "I panicked then and didn't even look in the mirror. I feel so stupid."

Xiao Wei said, "It's okay, everyone feels this way when they first start driving. I was the same way, always feeling unsure. You'll get used to it. Why are you back so early today?"

Xiao Hong said, "It's for the welcome party. I came out to buy things, and I'm the only one in my class with a car."

Xiao Wei asked, "Have you bought the things yet? Are you alone?"

Xiaohong said, "I didn't buy any. There are two other classmates on the bus. I just wanted to come up and tell you."

Xiao Wei said, "Forget it, don't drive today, I'll go with you. Where to buy? What to buy?"

Xiao Hong said, "We also need to buy some light-up paper, handheld flowers, and some fruits, water, and peanuts. The leaders in the front row need to be served them."

Engineer Wang said, "If you're buying a lot, go to the wholesale market. They have everything there, and you can drive fast anyway."

Xiao Wei said, "Where? I've never heard of it."

Xiaohong said, "I know, my classmates and I have been there. They have stationery, food and all sorts of things. Let's go, let's go."

Xiao Wei asked, "Why didn't you let your classmate come up?"

Xiao Hong's face turned red again. She glared at Xiao Wei and walked out. Could she say that she was too flustered to pay attention? Oh dear, what an embarrassing day!

When the two arrived downstairs, Xiaohong's Daifa was parked on the side of the road. Her two classmates were peering out the window. Xiaohong pinched Xiaowei and ran over, saying, "Sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me today. I was so focused on going upstairs to find him that I forgot about you two."

Xiao Wei walked over, grimacing and rubbing the spot where he had been pinched. "Hello. She seems a bit flustered today."

Xiao Hong said, "You two get out of the car, let's ride there in his car. I... I'm a little afraid to drive."

Xiao Wei opened the car door from the outside, and two girls got out of the car. Xiao Hong said, "This is my boyfriend, Zhang Wei. This is my good friend, Ran Tu, Mo Lijuan."

The two girls looked at Xiao Wei curiously, both feeling a bit incredulous. This...this doesn't seem like a good match at all. He's short, he's small, but his looks are passable. "How long have you two been dating?" Ran Tu couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Wei glanced at Xiao Hong and said with a smile, "She didn't mention it? We were betrothed as children, we've been together since we were little, it must have been more than ten years, fifteen or sixteen years. Otherwise, would she have been interested in me? It's just that we've been used to each other since we were little."

Ran Tu and Mo Lijuan were filled with shock, surprise, disbelief, and a little excitement. A childhood betrothal? What an amazing feeling.

Xiao Hong kicked Xiao Wei in the shin: "You little brat, go drive the car."

Xiao Wei chuckled and ran to the car. Ran Tu grabbed Xiao Hong's arm and asked, "Is it really a childhood betrothal? Childhood betrothals still exist?"

Xiaohong said, "It's like her mom and my mom have a really, really good relationship. It's like a childhood betrothal, that sounds awful. Anyway, they grew up together. And when I came here to study, she came with me."

Mo Lijuan asked, "Isn't your home in Fengtian?"

Xiao Hong shook her head and said, "No, he's from Beixi County. He got his household registration transferred here after he arrived. He's from Fengtian now."

Ran Tu said, "You never stay in dormitories, so we thought your family was from Fengtian. What's he doing here? Working at the power company's guesthouse?"

Xiao Hong said, "Yes, I'll work here for now."

Mo Lijuan asked, "What about your parents? Are you planning to marry him after graduation? Aren't you planning to go back to your hometown?"

Xiao Hong said, "My parents came too, and so did his parents. They'll be staying in Fengtian from now on, and he's even transferred his household registration."

Ran Tu said, "He has a car too? Does everyone in your family own a car?" These days, bread is so cool, you even have a car.

Little Red's face flushed red. She glanced at the Dafa parked on the side and said, "This car isn't mine. It's for me to practice driving, and I actually crashed into it."

Xiao Wei drove up in his SUV and parked next to the three of them.

Xiao Hong helped Ran Tu and Mo Lijuan into the car. Xiao Wei then said to Hao Dawei, Xiao Wu, and Wang Gong, who were walking out of the building, "Wang Gong, are you going to Wanliu?"

Engineer Wang said, "Go to the bank, withdraw the money, and then go there to pay the wages. There's still time."

Xiao Wei turned to Xiao Hong and asked, "Where are the Dafabet keys?"

Xiao Hong took the keys out of her pocket and handed them to Xiao Wei. Xiao Wei held them out of the car and said, "Xiao Wu, you can drive this car. Go to the repair shop and get the back paint touched up."

Xiao Wu was a little excited and ran over to take the keys: "You really want me to drive it? I don't have a license."

Xiaowei said, "Go take the photos when you have time. I'll help you with the editing. Just be careful when you open them. Dawei, keep an eye on him."

Hao Dawei nodded, and Xiaowei said, "Dawei, ask Geng Hui to write up a form, and then go to Shiyiwei and bring over another Xiali later."

Hao Dawei agreed and asked, "Who gets the key?"

Xiao Wei said, "Keep it there, I'll come and get it tonight."

Engineer Wang got into Hao Dawei's Xiali, the car assigned to him, with Hao Dawei temporarily acting as his driver. Xiao Wu happily ran off to Xiao Hong's Daihatsu, overjoyed.

Xiao Wei sat up straight, shifted gears and started the engine, saying, "You drive the Xiali tomorrow, and give this Dafa to Xiao Wu."

Xiao Hong pouted and said, "Can I do it? This bump today has completely destroyed my confidence."

Xiao Wei laughed and said, "Just crash a few more times and you'll be fine. Actually, you're capable now, it's just that you haven't driven for long and lack experience, so you panic when something happens. It's okay. Dafa is too high, Xiali and Ferrari are about the same, just drive Xiali for a few days to get used to it, and then you can drive your own car, just go slowly."

As the car turned onto the main road, Ran Tu whispered to Xiao Hong, "You bought a car? What kind of car is it?"

Xiao Hong said, "He bought it. Several of them each bought one, and then he bought this one, so he gave me the other one to drive. He thought the other one was too small."

Mo Lijuan said, "Your family is really rich, you can buy cars one after another. Didn't you say that Daihatsu belongs to your family? How come he can just give it to whoever he wants?"

Xiao Hong said, "They're from the company. Those people are employees of the company, from the real estate department. They use the car more often."

Xiao Wei said, "We sell cars, including Dafa, Xiali, and Changan. If any of your relatives or friends want to buy a car, come over. I'll give you a discount if you buy one yourself, and I'll give you a commission if you refer someone else to buy one."

Ran Tu's eyes lit up: "How much?"

Xiao Wei said, "Two percent, I'll give it to you after I sell the car."

Ran Tu asked, "How much do the cars cost? One at a time?"

Xiao Wei said, "A Dafa is 38,000, a Xiali is 98,000, a Chang'an bread is 68,000, and a Chang'an light truck is 42,000. I'll cover the maintenance for a year."

Mo Lijuan asked, "What kind of car are you driving? How much did it cost?"

Xiao Hong said, "This is a Mercedes-Benz SUV, it costs millions. Who are you going to sell it to?"

Xiao Wei glanced at the rearview mirror as he turned the corner and said with a smile, "If you sell one of these, I'll give you a 3% commission. You'll make over 100,000 yuan on each one you sell."
