Chapter 17 Do I Look Easy to Kill?
Chapter 17 Do I Look Easy to Kill?
The next day.
Chen Xi was awakened by a tempting aroma. He opened his eyes and saw Saori busy making breakfast in the kitchen.
The breakfast was very rich, with bacon and lemon tea that Chen Xi requested last night.
He took a bite of the bacon; the texture was just right, slightly burnt, and the rich smoky aroma spread in his mouth.
Saori was concentrating on eating and didn't say anything, but she kept stealing glances at Chen Xi.
Looking at the other person's cautious expression, as if he was worried that the taste of breakfast would displease him, Chen Xi couldn't help but feel amused.
"I deleted the photo, don't worry."
"Why are you so good today?"
Saori's words surprised Chen Xi. He didn't expect that this woman's attitude would take a 180-degree turn just one night.
"Chen Xi, do you still remember what I said to you at a party when we were in school together?" Saori said hesitantly.
"What? How could I remember something that happened so long ago?" Chen Xi raised his head and thought about it.
"Oh, forget it..." Saori sighed.
He had lived for more than 30 years in his previous life, so how could he still remember what the other party said about the school reunion? Moreover, they had reunions so many times during school that he had long forgotten them all.
I get drunk every time I go to a party, and sometimes I don’t even know how I get home.
"Why do you live alone? Don't you have a roommate? Or a boyfriend?" Chen Xi asked after taking a sip of his drink.
"Nana is basically my roommate. As for a boyfriend, I haven't considered one yet."
Saori lowered her eyes, savored the food on the plate, and occasionally glanced at Chen Xi, as if carefully observing his reaction and expression.
"I'll leave after dinner. I have something to do later." Chen Xi put down the knife and fork in his hand.
"Okay, got it." Saori ate carelessly, but her heart was full of words, but she didn't dare to speak them out easily. She could only nod reluctantly and maintain the conversation with a weak response.
After finishing his meal, Chen Xi looked at the time. It was almost noon, so he planned to go to the used car dealership in the afternoon.
"Oh, it's a pity that so many tools are not used." Chen Xi stood up, sorted out the backpack he brought, and deliberately revealed the contents.
Saori took a sneak peek inside and immediately stepped back with her face red and neck bare.
The backpack contained some small props such as whips, which were toys Chen Xi bought from the grocery store.
Chen Xi looked at Saori's reaction and thought to himself that the people of Sakura Country are indeed bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong.
"I'm leaving now. I'll come to see you next time." Looking at Saori's panic-stricken look, Chen Xi waved his hand, put on his shoes and walked out of the apartment.
As soon as Chen Xi left, Saori quickly ran to Nana's house next door.
She had no idea how to deal with this junior from China, and Saori's first reaction was to ask for help from her neighbor next door.
There are numerous second-hand car dealerships in Mo Village, with several in one district, but they vary in size.
The used car trading market in Australia is more mature than that in China, and the competition here is relatively small. There is only one used car trading network, and it has become the dominant player.
Now he can only buy cars with credit cards, so he can only go to used car dealers, but the price is higher than buying from private owners.
After leaving Saori's house, he chose to walk to a used car dealership nearby.
At that time, there were no so-called mobile maps, and when going out, one could only rely on paper maps to find places.
"This car is so broken, why sell it?"
In a used car dealership run by an Indian, Chen Xi looked at a white van in front of him that was older than himself.
All surfaces of the vehicle looked a bit shabby, the tread of the wheels was severely worn, and the windows were covered with dust.
"Don't be fooled by its appearance, it is still very powerful when driving."
The owner of the market is an Indian who is dressed in a suit and looks quite handsome, but what he says is not trustworthy at all.
I believe you.
"Take a look at this." Chen Xi pointed to another van next to him. The detailed information of the vehicle was posted on the window. This 98 car had more than kilometers on the road and was priced at Australian dollars. It looked pretty good.
"You really have a good eye. This car is imported. It's perfect for transporting goods..."
The third brother seemed to have opened up a chatterbox and started to introduce the van in a torrent of words.
Of course Chen Xi knew that these cars were basically imported, because Australia only had one domestic truck, and that company went bankrupt after a few years, so it could only rely on imports for cars.
"The car is fine, but there is a strange smell." As soon as Chen Xi opened the car door, he looked at his third brother next to him and covered his nose.
"This car was used to transport some special goods before..." The third brother rubbed his hands embarrassedly.
"What is that?" Chen Xi was a little confused.
"It seems to be recycling old clothes." The third brother thought for a while and said.
"..."
Looking at the wandering eyes of the third brother, he was sure that the cart was definitely not carrying ordinary old clothes.
The smell inside the car is suffocating and indescribable. If you buy this car, you will probably pass out from the suffocation on the way.
"Do you have any decent van?" Chen Xi said with a frown.
"There's more over here." The three pointed to the side.
Foreigners usually prefer to buy pickup trucks, mainly because of their powerful horsepower and cargo-carrying capacity, making them an all-round means of transportation.
As a result, there is a decent collection of pickup trucks here.
There were some vans as well, but they looked to be in about the same condition as the previous one.
"Why do all the cars here smell weird? What was this one carrying?" Chen Xi asked, pinching his nose.
"Seasoning." The third brother rubbed his hands.
"Masala?" This was the first thing Chen Xi thought of.
"I'm not sure about that..." The third brother didn't explain further.
After looking around, he found that there was no car that satisfied him, so he decided to look somewhere else.
These Indian people don't seem to be honest at all. There is a high chance that you will be ripped off if you buy a car here.
In other places, the foreigners saw that Chen Xi was young and a foreigner, and wanted to take advantage of him like a fool. They picked out those cars that could not be sold and had a low cost-effectiveness, and deliberately introduced them to him.
But Chen Xi is a veteran in the used car industry and naturally will not be fooled by them.
"Hello, is the boss here? I want to see the car."
In a used car dealership run by a foreigner, Chen Xi looked at a young man in front of him and said.
"The boss is not here. I'm a staff member here. If you want to see the car, I can just take you there." The young man said politely.
"Okay." Chen Xi nodded.
The young man took Chen Xi around the car dealership and recommended various high-priced vehicles to him.
Chen Xi finally saw a car with a good price-performance ratio, but the other party told him that the price tag on the car was old and the new price had not yet been marked.
What made him angry was that the new price was a full five thousand yuan higher than the previous price.
It was obvious that the other party saw that he was young and wanted to take advantage of him.
Because sales are based on commissions, the higher the price, the higher the salary.
Foreigners are actually quite principled, but there are all kinds of birds in the forest, and Chen Xi won't fall for it.
There are many used car dealerships here, but two dealerships have tried to cheat him, which undoubtedly made him a little frustrated and dampened his enthusiasm for buying.
