109: If you have any trouble, find Wanyuanliang

"What a pity." Examining the folding fan from both sides, Wan Yuanliang said regretfully, "If the fan face had also been crafted by a famous master, this folding fan would be a rare masterpiece."

"If even the fan face were made by a famous master and bore a signature, it wouldn't have been my turn to pick up such a bargain."

"That's true." Wan Yuanliang closed the folding fan and got straight to the point: "How much are you planning to sell these two items for?"

"Sixty thousand for the folding fan, seventy thousand for the bracelet."

"Deal." Wan Yuanliang didn't haggle and agreed immediately.

While Wan Yuanliang was drafting the contract, Ye Su brought up the matter of the mutated rose:

"Brother Liang, there's one more thing I wanted to ask if you could help with."

"What is it?"

"I have a pot of mutated rose in my possession that I want to sell to a research institution. I was wondering if you have any connections in that area."

Wan Yuanliang's hand paused while drafting the contract: "What kind of mutated rose?"

"This type of tricolor rose. I'll send you a photo."

After receiving the photo, Wan Yuanliang took a careful look before shaking his head:

"I really don't know any friends involved in plant research. If you want to find someone to sell it to, I can help you post it on my Moments to see if anyone among my friends has connections in that area."

Ye Su put his hands together: "Thank you."

Having Wan Yuanliang help inquire would certainly be more reliable than searching blindly on his own.

"What's there to thank?" Wan Yuanliang continued drafting the contract: "As long as you or your friends have good items, bring them to me more often; that would be the greatest thanks to me."

"It's mutually beneficial. If I don't bring them to you, there's nowhere else I trust enough to sell them."

This was clearly the answer Wan Yuanliang wanted.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

"Can't you just say everything you need to say at once?"

"Haha." Ye Su scratched his head awkwardly: "Actually, it's just a small matter. I'm planning to buy a used car for commuting recently, so I was wondering if you have any acquaintances in that field so I can buy a car I can feel at ease driving."

Due to the "favorable local conditions," a batch of flood-damaged cars enters the market here almost every year. Plus, used car dealers have techniques like "odometer tampering" and "refurbishing accident cars."

If he didn't have an acquaintance, and Ye Su, a complete novice, went to buy a car, he might end up buying a problematic car without even knowing it.

If Wan Yuanliang had connections in this area, it would certainly be the best thing for Ye Su.

At the very least, out of respect for Wan Yuanliang, the dealership wouldn't scam him on the car.

"Is that it?" Wan Yuanliang didn't even look up: "I have a friend whose family runs a used car dealership. I'll send you his WeChat later, and you two can talk yourselves."

"Okay."

Ye Su knew that when in trouble, finding Wan Yuanliang was never a mistake.

After the contract was drafted and the payment settled, Wan Yuanliang pushed the WeChat contact of his friend who owned the used car dealership to Ye Su.

[AAA Yangcheng Used Cars - Chen Qi: I have accepted your friend request, now we can start chatting.]

Before sending the contact card, Wan Yuanliang had already greeted Chen Qi in advance.

So, after adding each other as friends, Chen Qi knew that Ye Su wanted to buy a car. After a brief communication and self-introductions, they were considered to have made a preliminary acquaintance.

[Chen Qi: Whenever you want to come over to see the cars, just send me a message.]

[Okay.]

After the brief conversation, Ye Su clicked on Chen Qi's Moments and found that the cars in his Moments were diverse, but mostly in the price range of tens to hundreds of thousands, with only a few million-dollar sports cars mixed in.

Wan Yuanliang said that the used car dealership was run by Chen Qi's family, which meant this was another second-generation wealthy kid from Yangcheng.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be heading off."

After drinking a few cups of tea with Wan Yuanliang and chatting for a while, Ye Su finally got up to say goodbye.

"Alright, if there's a buyer for that flower, I'll let you know."

"Okay."

...

Returning to Chen Xinyi's place, as soon as Ye Su entered, he smelled a fragrant scent drifting from the kitchen.

"You're back!"

Hearing the sound, Chen Xinyi ran out of the kitchen wearing an apron and holding a spatula: "How was it? Did Wan Yuanliang buy the bracelet?"

"Yeah." Ye Su held up two fingers and made a [7] gesture: "Seventy thousand. Thirty-five thousand each for us."

"Yay!"

Chen Xinyi pounced on him and hugged Ye Su tight. The "impact" was so great that Ye Su almost lost his footing.

"Hey, your apron is full of oil! You're going to get my clothes dirty!"

Chen Xinyi wore the pure expression of a nouveau riche: "If it gets dirty, just throw it away. I'm rich now, I'll take you to buy new ones this afternoon!"

"Alright, alright."

In the end, Ye Su had to pull her ear to drag Chen Xinyi off him.

"You're in your twenties already, can you be a bit more mature and stop being so childish?"

Chen Xinyi's eyes instantly breathed fire: "Say that again!"

She was only twenty-five this year, and Chen Xinyi could say she had never had any age anxiety.

But ever since she "ate" this "tender grass" that was Ye Su, Chen Xinyi had become increasingly conscious of her age and couldn't stand hearing the number [25] at all.

Sensing a murderous aura, Ye Su immediately changed his words: "I said you're in your twenties, the prime of your youth, don't be as childish as a kid."

Chen Xinyi raised her eyebrows slightly: "That's more like it."

"What are you messing around with in the kitchen? You've been out here so long, don't let it burn."

"Ah!"

Chen Xinyi finally remembered that she was still pan-searing steaks. She hurriedly abandoned Ye Su and ran back to the kitchen.

Fortunately, Chen Xinyi often cooked, and she remembered to turn the heat down before coming out, so no disaster occurred.

To reward Ye Su, and since today was the last day of the holiday, Chen Xinyi had really splurged on this meal. Ingredients like Wagyu beef and Australian lobster were ordered via phone and delivered quickly.

This lunch was also much more expensive than what the two of them usually ate outside.

Entering the kitchen with curiosity, Ye Su was startled by the array of pots and pans:

"Can you handle it? Do you need help?"

"No need, you go outside and just wait to eat." After issuing the eviction order, Chen Xinyi didn't forget to add: "Remember to transfer the money to me, thirty-five thousand."

"I gave you hundreds of millions last night, do you really think I'd be short on this thirty-five thousand?"

Chen Xinyi made so much noise pan-searing the steaks that it sounded like a street food stall stir-fry, pretending not to hear Ye Su's words.

Ye Su didn't tease her verbally anymore. He went back to the living room to wait for the meal, while simultaneously transferring the thirty-five thousand to Chen Xinyi.

"Apart from the lottery winnings, the rose, and the ruby, I currently have over two hundred and ninety thousand on hand. Taking over a hundred thousand to buy a reliable used car won't be much pressure."

Ye Su's plan was still to buy a gasoline-powered car.

After all, after buying the car, he estimated he would only drive one thousand to one thousand five hundred kilometers a month. Buying a gas car meant he could just fill it up and go, which was much more convenient than buying an electric car.

As for the license plate issue, Ye Su had previously applied for a Guangdong Province residence permit; he just needed to spend some money and directly participate in the auction.

A license plate only cost about ten thousand or so, which was just pocket change for Ye Su now.

No sooner said than done.

Ye Su first handled the license plate auction matter, paid a two thousand yuan deposit, and then started looking into the current used car market on a used car website.
