81: Chapter 81 Pre-ordering a sports car

Zhao Jian wanted to ask why she didn't stop it when she was right there.

But he didn't say anything.

Because he saw that there wasn't a hint of disappointment on the Young Married Woman's face; instead, there was a touch of joy.

Is she a fish lover?

The boat docked, and the Young Married Woman pulled out the key to lock the boat.

She asked Zhao Jian, "Do you have a ride? I can give you a lift for a part of the way?"

She had come on an electric scooter.

The back seat could hold one person.

It was a pity it wasn't on her way.

Zhao Jian politely declined her invitation and hailed a car online.

He quickly returned to the city and went to the antique shop.

The Shop Owner of the Mingyue Antique Shop hadn't seen him for a while, and a smile appeared on his stern face.

After all, when Zhao Jian arrived, money arrived.

"Shop Owner, take a look at this." He placed the gold seal on the table.

The Shop Owner picked it up and examined it carefully.

He muttered to himself, "Judging by the shape and style, it's a Liao Dynasty Prince's seal. There aren't many in existence. But since it's not from our Han dynasty, the price isn't very high."

"I can offer 1.6 million. It's a pity; if it were from a prince of the Song state, the price could be several times higher."

Zhao Jian didn't think it was a pity.

He wouldn't complain about free money.

The 1.6 million was transferred quickly, and it was already approaching evening. Practicing driving was definitely out of the question.

He could only schedule it for tomorrow.

He wasn't in a hurry to tell the instructor.

In case tomorrow brought another time-consuming money-making intelligence, he was afraid he would have to postpone it again.

It was better to wait until he saw the intelligence before deciding.

Just as he was thinking about calling a car to go home.

A text message from Zhang Tao inviting him to dinner and a movie arrived.

It just so happened that he wasn't far from the city center, so he arranged to meet at a Lanzhou Lamian shop in the city center.

It wasn't that he couldn't afford a fancy restaurant.

It was just that the noodles were more cost-effective.

It was also close to the cinema.

Besides, it wasn't suitable to eat too much before watching a movie, so that after the movie ended, he could find a reason to cuddle for a while.

Then, if it was too late, he wouldn't be at ease with them going their separate ways.

He would be forced to helplessly escort her home.

Then, going up for a visit would be a natural progression, wouldn't it?

By the time Zhang Tao arrived, Zhao Jian had already ordered the noodles.

He asked the owner to add more beef and less cilantro.

He didn't know if the owner had listened or not.

"I bought popcorn. We're going to see 'Three Drops of Blood' in a bit. The internet says guys really like watching it."

She placed two buckets of popcorn on the table.

The buckets were a bit big, and Zhao Jian worried they might get too full in the cinema.

It turned out they certainly could.

Halfway through the movie, he had only eaten a third of the popcorn.

His stomach felt bloated.

Unfortunately, the cinema Zhang Tao booked wasn't a private one, so he could only sit in the chair and digest.

Fortunately, Good Older Sister's little hand distracted him, preventing him from throwing up.

Throughout the movie, he only focused on feeling the smoothness of the back of her hand and the warmth of her palm.

He didn't remember a single bit of the plot.

"I'll take you back." He held Zhang Tao's hand, reluctant to let go.

But Good Older Sister, who should have cooperated by saying 'It's not safe at night,' said dotingly:

"No need. It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

No need? What do you mean no need!

Zhao Jian's heart was in turmoil, but he remained calm on the surface.

He thought to himself, do you have someone else outside!

Until he got home, he was still wondering if he should check up on her.

But before he could, he received a video call from Zhang Tao.

He answered.

The camera on the other side shook, vaguely showing the receding road and the landscaped flowers and plants.

Then, the world spun, and it turned into Zhang Tao's pretty face.

She hesitated, mumbling a few sounds.

"Stinky younger brother, it's just, it's just that when we came out of the cinema, you said you'd take me home. Did you want to come to my place, for that."

Zhao Jian understood.

He asked deliberately, "What is 'that'?"

"Oh, just that! The bad things you often did a few days ago!"

After saying this, her face turned red.

Zhao Jian nodded and gave a perfunctory 'Mm.'

"If you want to come over now, that's fine too. I didn't understand at the time."

She really hadn't understood.

She only thought Zhao Jian was worried about her safety.

But she didn't feel comfortable having Zhao Jian run back and forth in the middle of the night, so she didn't agree.

When she reached the entrance of the residential complex and saw other couples entering, she realized Zhao Jian's intention in hindsight.

"No, no, go to sleep."

He had already returned home and didn't want to go out for such a thing.

Moreover, it was near midnight. If the intelligence screen popped up while they were in the heat of passion, it would be easy to get startled.

It would hurt his body.

"Alright, next time just tell me directly. Work has made my brain stupid recently."

The two hung up the call.

Zhao Jian soon fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was five o'clock in the morning.

It was still dark outside.

He remembered the time when he was busy looking for a job; at this hour, he would have already gone out to the Vegetable Market to buy tofu.

He would eat a few bites at home and then rush to catch the bus, trying to reach his destination before the old men and women became too numerous.

Now, he could sleep until daybreak.

It was truly blissful.

Just as he was thinking this, today's intelligence suddenly appeared before his eyes.

【Today's Intelligence (Red): Bankruptcy, bankruptcy! The Xiong City Wanjia Group has gone bankrupt. They cannot pay the final payment for a lamborghini worth 7 million that was previously ordered. It is being resold, and you only need to pay 5 million to take it.】

It was cheap, indeed.

But a sports car could only seat two people.

And it couldn't haul cargo.

If he needed to transport large items, it couldn't do it!

But after thinking it over, Zhao Jian decided: Buy it!

Who said a man could only own one car? He could have them all!

Take the lamborghini, and then buy a pickup truck.

Then let his parents go take their driving tests, and buy a regular Land Rover for the family.

Wouldn't all his needs be solved?

By the time he snapped out of his car-buying plan, it was already broad daylight.

He had fantasized for a full two hours.

He got dressed and went out.

He bought a bowl of tofu pudding at a roadside stall; it was sweet.

Unlike the terrible taste he had imagined, the texture was actually okay.

However, what made him unhappy was that the fried dough sticks were also sweet.

What kind of heretical way of eating is this!

He silently noted the location of the roadside stall; next time, he would only buy the tofu pudding and not the fried dough sticks.

After eating his fill, he headed to Wanjia Group.

Actually, the system's intelligence had a slight exaggeration.

Wanjia Group hadn't gone bankrupt yet.

At least it was still struggling.

When Zhao Jian arrived, he saw the entire company headquarters busy.

After asking, he learned that they were all calculating the company's sellable fixed assets.

Only when everything was sold and the debts were still not cleared would they declare bankruptcy.

This was beyond Zhao Jian's expectations.

He had thought the owner would first transfer the assets out, then declare bankruptcy, letting the debts become unrecoverable.

He hadn't expected them to have a conscience.

"Oh, the boss went inside. The one currently leading the self-rescue is his wife, who is also the legal representative of our group."

The employee in charge of reception heard Zhao Jian's quiet sigh and explained it to him.

Zhao Jian thought to himself, you might as well not have told me.

He had been moved for nothing.

Purchasing the car went very smoothly.

After all, there weren't many people in Xiong City willing to spend 5 million on a useless sports car.

The reason Wanjia Group bought it was also because the owner bought it for his mistress in the company's name.

It's just that he didn't expect that as soon as the car arrived, the company was gone.

Instead, it benefited Zhao Jian.

Although he could go to Kyoto to pick up the car immediately.

Zhao Jian decided to go tomorrow instead.

Because he had scheduled with his instructor to rack up driving hours today.

It wouldn't be good to keep flaking on them.
