Chapter 19 Buying a car and practicing driving

"Thank you, Tian Gou." Li Yuqing wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and stared at the other person with her big watery eyes.

Tian Gou showed an excited smile, mistakenly thinking that he had come closer to the goddess of his dreams.

In fact, Li Yuqing already felt extremely disgusted with Tian Gou in her heart.

What he just said was almost unbearable for her, and even made her want to spit out the food she had just swallowed.

At this moment, she couldn't help but feel contempt for this gullible fool. He had no interest at all.

Despite this, she still believes that having an ATM like Tiangou may not be a bad thing.

"Yuqing, try this lemon cheesecake. We'll go shopping in the City later."

"Ok."

Li Yuqing took the cake handed to her by Tian Gou, picked up a small spoon and started eating elegantly, thinking in her mind what to ask this guy to buy later.

Tian Gou looked at Li Yuqing's jade-like, smooth and elegant face, with a hint of obsession in his eyes.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this beautiful girl was like the goddess of his dreams.

The delicate facial features, charming outline, and every detail are like a carefully crafted work of art, which makes people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

Chen Xi walked straight into one of the used car dealerships, which was one of the two dealerships he had carefully selected last time.

"Where is the boss's car from last time?" Chen Xi asked the boss.

"That car has been booked. You are late." The boss spread his hands helplessly with an apologetic expression.

"Hey, Barnaby is here to pick up the car." The boss shouted enthusiastically to someone not far away.

"Yes, has it been cleaned up? The company is in a hurry to use the car." A sturdy man in his forties approached. His dazzling short golden hair and rough work clothes complemented each other, making him look like a typical manual laborer.

"It's all done." The car dealership owner shook hands with the other party enthusiastically.

"I'm sorry that he bought your car. Why don't you take a look at other cars?"

While counting the money handed over by the other party, the boss spoke to Chen Xi, pointed to other cars and let him choose.

"Forget it, we want to buy a van, there is nothing else suitable."

Chen Xi shook his head. He had looked at all the cars here, and only the one that was bought had the best value for money.

"Are you buying the van for transporting goods?" asked the man called Barnaby.

"Well, doing moving and freight..." Dongdong looked at the burly man in front of him and responded.

"Oh? Moving? You Chinese people want to mess up the moving market again?"

Barnaby's tone was originally kind, but gradually became targeted, making Chen Xi and the other two feel a little uncomfortable.

"You Chinese people disrupt the market wherever you go. Not only do you work on weekends, but you also drive prices so low that your peers simply cannot survive." Barnaby said excitedly with his hands on his hips.

"As for making money, it all depends on your ability." Chen Xi lit a cigarette, smiled at the other party, and then left with Dongdong.

There are many reasons why Chinese people suffer discrimination in their local area, and this phenomenon is one of them.

Although Barnaby's words were sharp, he revealed an indisputable fact.

With their hard-working spirit and low prices, the Chinese have occupied a place in most industries and even forced many formerly well-known local companies into difficulties.

This also led to many locals disliking them.

In addition, local people have the habit of closing their businesses on weekends, however, Chinese people work seven days a week and never have a holiday every year, which makes it impossible for local businesses to compete with them.

This long-standing contradiction and misunderstanding has led to an escalation in the conflict between the two sides.

"Hmph, I won't let you destroy this industry. I've been working here for more than ten years!" Seeing that Chen Xi had no intention of arguing with him, Barnaby shouted at their departing backs. His expression was excited, as if someone owed him money.

"Why is this guy crazy? Did we provoke him?" Dongdong said angrily.

"I don't understand. The foreigners' thinking processes are always different from ours." Xiao Ming frowned.

Xiao Ming and Dong Dong are just ordinary students. They have just graduated from high school and have no work experience, so they don’t understand the meaning of what Barnaby said.

"You are still young and you will understand it in the future." Chen Xi exhaled a smoke ring, with a complex emotion in his eyes.

"Oh my god, I'm one year older than you and two years older than Xiao Ming."

Dongdong looked at Chen Xi, his eyes full of puzzlement and confusion, as if he was looking at a fool.

"Okay, let's go to the next one. There's still one left." Chen Xi finished his cigarette, threw the butt on the ground and stomped it out.

As the backbone of the team, he must boost the morale of others and not fall down before things even get started.

At another car dealership not far away, Chen Xi brought Dongdong and Xiaoming to the door.

"When we get in later, if the car is still there, don't say anything. I'll bargain with them."

Before entering, he specifically gave the two of them some instructions.

"Oh my god, manual transmission?" Although the car was still parked there, Dongdong couldn't help but exclaim when he saw that it was a manual transmission.

"What else?" Chen Xi pointed around. There were some dilapidated cars everywhere. Only this one looked pleasing to the eye and the price was right.

"The terrain of Tu'ao is mostly hilly, which makes it difficult to drive." Dongdong said with difficulty.

Although Dongdong can drive, the roads in Australia are really hard to describe.

When I was in high school, the school bus had difficulty climbing hills.

There are frequent rapid backward slides, and the scene is so thrilling, just like a roller coaster in an amusement park.

"This kind of big car is basically manual transmission."

The car dealership owner saw that Dongdong looked unhappy and quickly began to explain.

The boss was a white guy, about fifty years old, who looked quite amiable and gave the impression of being easy to talk to.

"Boss, we are all students who want to start a business, but we have limited funds. I wonder if you can give us some discounts?"

Chen Xi did not, like others, start by nitpicking about the vehicle and then try to bargain.

He knew that an experienced old man like the boss, who had seen all kinds of people and things, would be disgusted if he used clever bargaining methods.

Therefore, he chose to be honest about his needs and budget, and believed that this seemingly very kind boss should be an easy person to talk to.

"No problem. My daughter also works in China. She said the people there are very welcoming..."

The boss talked about his granddaughter for nearly an hour.

Although it sounded a bit long, Chen Xi and the other two still listened to it patiently.

This action gave the boss a good impression of the three of them.

Perhaps, it seems to be a common problem for older people that they like to share stories with others.

After some bargaining, they finally bought this seven-year-old van for 18,000 yuan.

The car's capacity is not large, so it can only transport some smaller furniture. But this doesn't have much of an impact. It's just a matter of carrying it a few more times. Anyway, the oil price is not high at this time.
