113: Chapter 113 Picking up the car without taking pictures, rushing home for dinner

After getting out of the car, Shen Muyan slammed the door shut heavily.

Hearing the loud 'bang', Shen Muqing felt very uncomfortable: "Shen Muyan, don't be angry. How about I drive you two back?"

"I'm not angry. You go serve your brother-in-law," Shen Muyan said, her voice laced with anger.

As she spoke, she huffed and kicked at a soccer ball on the side.

With a 'bang'.

"Ouch~~," Shen Muyan felt like she had kicked something rock-hard.

The four 'soccer balls' at her feet were several sizes larger than normal ones; they were actually bollards meant to prevent vehicles from entering.

Tang Luochuan quickly steadied her: "Are you stupid? Why would there be four soccer balls just sitting here in broad daylight?"

"Hmph~~~ It hurts~~~ I knew they weren't soccer balls, but I thought they were made of plastic~~~ It hurts~~~," Shen Muyan was so flustered with anger that she could only act spoiled and seek comfort.

Seeing his sister so exasperated, Shen Muqing felt even worse.

He even felt the urge to flip the table and call off the wedding.

But how could he explain it to his parents??

Why was he such a coward?

Just as he was hesitating, Tang Luochuan suddenly leaned against the window and said: "Brother, you don't need to worry about us anymore. Go ahead and take care of your business. We'll be back in a while. If you get home first, don't wait for us. It's late, so you, Auntie, and Uncle should eat first."

"Uh... You... You guys stay safe."

"Okay."

After saying that, Shen Muqing stepped on the gas and the car drove away, but his heart still felt blocked and anxious.

...

Inside the land rover dealership.

As soon as Tang Luochuan entered, a salesperson immediately came up to greet him: "Welcome..."

Before the words were out, Tang Luochuan said: "Do you have any land rover Range Rovers or Defenders in stock?"

"Uh... Yes, we have two Range Rovers left!"

"How much..."

"Our current model is the... SE long-wheelbase version, 1.452 million, with an on-the-road price of 1.61 million..."

"Make it cheaper."

Tang Luochuan's words were decisive; it was almost as if he spoke the moment the other person finished.

The salesperson was a bit dazed, looking at the three girls behind him and then back at the young man in front of him.

He guessed to himself: The only reason they were in such a rush... was that they had seen too many! They were already fed up!

Clearly, this wasn't how people normally bought cars—not even looking at the car? Not taking it for a test drive?

After all, it was a big purchase!

"Uh... Alright!! Brother, the market really isn't good right now, and I'm being honest with you—I can knock off at most 50,000; I really can't go any lower."

"Good, prepare the contract! My three girlfriends will sit here for a while; I'm going next door to buy something! I'll be right back."

After saying this, Tang Luochuan turned and left directly.

Leaving behind the three girls who were used to this, and the bewildered salesperson.

"Has it been two minutes? The deal is done?"

Others' flexing is gradual, but Tang Luochuan's flexing leaves people completely dumbfounded.

In fact, he wasn't trying to flex; he was just thinking: Meals should be eaten hot. If he finished up here quickly, maybe the food at the Shen Family would still be warm when he got back.

Inside the liquor and tobacco shop next door, the owner was napping on the table.

Tang Luochuan strode in and tapped on the table: "A case of Flying Fairy Moutai! A case of Wuliangye... A case of Guojiao 1573, and two cartons of Huazi cigarettes!"

"Uh..." The owner looked up, bleary-eyed: "What?"

Tang Luochuan repeated it again... then added: "Hurry up."

"Oh, oh, okay, little brother, wait a second." The liquor and tobacco shop owner quickly got up, knowing this was a big order.

But he had been sleeping too soundly, and this young man seemed very anxious.

He hurriedly ran to the warehouse, and after a while, he said: "Oh, you came at the perfect time, there's only one case of Moutai left! There are two cases of Wuliangye and Guojiao each, I'll give you..."

"Then I'll take them all."

The owner: "..."

"What are you dazed for? Big brother! How much? I'll pay via WeChat! Don't you want to make money?"

"Oh, oh, oh~~~"

The liquor and tobacco shop owner hurriedly nodded repeatedly.

Then, he thoughtfully helped move them out, used his little tricycle, and helped transport them to the entrance of the 4S dealership.

Everything happened so quickly, so quickly that he felt a bit dazed.

After delivering the goods, the liquor and tobacco shop owner returned to his shop.

"Just now... did I make money? Did someone come?" He couldn't help but feel dazed; he knew the answer in his heart, it was definitely real.

But it also felt like a hallucination...

It wasn't like he hadn't made money before; how could he not make money running a liquor and tobacco shop?

But he had never earned it so quickly, and the other party hadn't said a single word of nonsense.

Normally when discussing an order, at the very least he would offer the other person a cigarette and have a good chat, after all, it was tens of thousands of dollars.

"Five cases of liquor plus two cartons of Huazi cigarettes, tens of thousands of dollars, just like that??"

As he thought about it, he hurriedly ran to the side room, pulled back the curtain, and kowtowed several times to the statue of Lord Guan enshrined there.

"Second Master, Saint Guan... It must be you manifesting! Business has been bad these past few months, have you felt your disciple's piety??"

...

Inside the 4S dealership.

After waiting for a while, the contract was signed, and Tang Luochuan had already paid.

"Sir, would you like to take a photo to commemorate this?" A staff member came over with a camera; after all, for a car worth over a million, a small ceremony was appropriate.

Tang Luochuan took the car keys and waved his hands repeatedly: "No! No! I have urgent business; if I don't go back now, the food will get cold."

Everyone: "... You call this urgent business?"

For Tang Luochuan, of course it counted as urgent business.

Spending over a million didn't affect the balance in his card at all.

But missing a meal? He would be hungry!

Often, when you see others looking like they are showing off or humble-bragging, if it's intentional, that's one thing.

What's scariest is when the person is dead serious, truly believing from the bottom of their heart that this is just their daily life.

Arriving in a strange city, needing a car for transportation, and just buying one—to Tang Luochuan, that was as normal as it gets.

Compared to a million dollars and a hot meal, of course the meal was more important—to him, this was equally normal.

Things you think are impressive are nothing more than something the other person does casually; this kind of gap is even harder to accept.

The car started, Tang Luochuan loaded everything into the car, and there were two cases of liquor sitting in the passenger seat.

Shen Muyan sat in the back, pouting, saying whatever was on her mind: "Luochuan, you're so rich, let me tell you, you cannot assist my brother and sister-in-law in any way! That sister-in-law of mine is just a gold digger, a parasite."

Tang Luochuan laughed and said: "Is it really that serious... aren't you exaggerating a bit?"

"That's because you haven't seen them; the whole family is like that! Looking down on people! And let me tell you, the truly rich, the truly powerful people are humble and low-key! Only people who are clearly ordinary but think they are amazing, and are petty, would act so obviously! To put it bluntly, she looks down on others, but she's also even more afraid of being looked down upon!!"

"Uh..." Tang Luochuan smiled calmly and joked: "Alright then, anyway, when we're at your house, you have to back me up."

Shen Muyan put her hands on her hips: "Of course, I definitely have to back you up."
