Chapter 17 Do I look good?
The next day.
Chen Xi was awakened by an alluring aroma. He opened his eyes and saw Shazhi already busy making breakfast in the kitchen.
The breakfast was very rich, including bacon and lemon tea that Chen Xi requested last night.
He took a bite of the bacon. The taste was just right, with a slightly burnt aroma, and the rich smoky aroma spread in his mouth.
Shazhi kept her head buried in eating and didn't speak. She just kept peeking at Chen Xi with her eyes.
Looking at the other person's cautious expression, as if he was worried that the taste of breakfast would dissatisfy him, Chen Xi couldn't help but feel funny in his heart.
"I deleted the photo, don't worry."
"Why are you so good today?"
Shazhi's words made Chen Xi a little surprised, but he didn't expect it to pass. One night, this woman's attitude took a 180-degree turn.
"Chen Xi, do you still remember what I told you about a party we had when we were in school together?" Saori hesitated.
"What? How could I remember something so long ago." Chen Xi raised his head and thought for a moment.
"Hey, forget it..." Saori sighed.
He had lived for more than thirty years in his previous life. How could he still remember the other party's party when he was in school? Moreover, he had partyed so many times in school that he could no longer remember it.
I get drunk at every party, and sometimes I don’t even know how to get home.
"Why do you live alone? Don't you find 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 it yet."
Saori lowered her eyes and tasted the food on the plate. He glanced at Chen Xi secretly, seeming to carefully observe his reaction and expression.
"I'll leave after dinner. I'll have something to do later." Chen Xi put down the knife and fork in his hand.
"Yes, I understand." Saori ate carelessly, but her heart was full of words, but she didn't dare to pour it out easily. She could only nod reluctantly and maintain the conversation with weak responses.
After finishing the meal, Chen Xi checked the time. It was almost noon now, and he planned to go to a second-hand car dealer in the afternoon.
"Hey, it's such a pity that so many tools are unused." Chen Xi stood up, arranged the backpack he brought, and deliberately exposed the contents.
Saori took a sneak peek inside, and immediately stepped back with a blushing face and neck.
The backpack contains some small props such as whips, which are all toys that Chen Xi bought from the grocery store.
Chen Xi looked at Shaori's reaction and thought to himself that people in Sakura Country were indeed bullying the weak and afraid of the strong.
"I'm leaving. I'll see you next time." Looking at Shazhi's panicked look, Chen Xi waved his hand, put on his shoes and walked out of the apartment.
As soon as Chen Xigang left, Shazhi quickly ran to Nana's house next door.
She actually had nothing to do with this junior student from China. Saori’s first reaction was to ask her neighbor next door for help.
There are so many second-hand car dealers in Mocun, there are several in one district, but the scales vary.
The second-hand car trading market in Tu'ao is more mature than that in China, and the competition here is relatively small. There is only one second-hand car trading network, and it has become the dominant one.
Now he can only buy a car through a credit card, so he can only go to a second-hand car dealer, but the price is higher than buying it from a private owner.
After coming out of Shaozhi's house, he chose to walk to find a used car dealer nearby.
At this time, there was no so-called mobile phone map. When I went out, I could only rely on paper maps to find places.
“This car is so shabby that it’s for sale.”
In a second-hand car shop owned by an Indian, Chen Xi looked at a white van in front of him that was older than himself.
All surfaces of the vehicle appeared to be worn, the tire treads on the wheels were badly worn, and the windows were covered in dust.
“Don’t look at it, it’s still very powerful when driving.”
The owner of the market is an Indian, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, he looks like a talented person, but what he says is But it’s not reliable at all.
I believe you.
"Look at this." Chen Xi pointed to another van next to him. The vehicle's detailed information was posted on the window. This 1998 car has a mileage of more than 200,000 kilometers and a price tag of 20,000 Australian dollars. It looks pretty good.
"You are so discerning. This car is imported, so it is perfect for hauling goods..."
The third brother seemed to have opened up a chatterbox and kept talking. Introduced the van.
Of course Chen Xi knew that these cars were basically imported, because there was only one domestic truck in Tu'ao, and it went bankrupt a few years later, so he had to rely on imports for cars.
"The car is okay, but there is a strange smell." As soon as he opened the door, Chen Xi looked at the third brother next to him and covered his nose.
"This car used to be used for some special goods..." The third brother rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
"What is that?" Chen Xi was a little confused.
"It seems they recycle old clothes." The third brother thought for a while and said.
"..."
Looking at the third brother's wandering eyes, he was sure that this car was definitely not pulling ordinary old clothes.
The smell inside the car is suffocating and indistinguishable. If you buy this car, you will probably faint from the fumes on the way.
"Do you have any serious van?" Chen Xi frowned.
"There are more over here." The three pointed to the side.
Gui Lao usually prefers to buy a pickup truck, mainly because it has strong horsepower and cargo capacity, making it an all-round vehicle.
Therefore, a considerable number of pickup trucks are gathered here.
There are also some vans, but they seem to be in the same condition as the previous one.
"The cars you have here smell weird. What was this car carrying before?" Chen Xi asked, pinching his nose.
"Condiments." The third brother rubbed his hands.
"Masala?" This was the first thing that Chen Xi thought of.
"I don't know about this..." The third brother didn't explain much.
After looking around for a while, he found no one he was satisfied with, so he decided to look elsewhere.
People in India don’t seem to be honest at all. If you buy a car here, you will most likely be ripped off.
In other places, those ghost guys saw that Chen Xi was young and a foreigner, so they wanted to kill him like a fool. They selected cars that could not be sold and were not cost-effective, and deliberately introduced them to him .
But Chen Xi is a veteran in the second-hand car industry, so naturally he will not be fooled by them.
"Hello, is the boss here? I want to see the car."
In a second-hand car dealership run by a ghost guy, Chen Xi looked at a young man in front of him and said.
"The boss is not here. I am a staff member here. If you want to see the car, I will 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 higher-priced vehicles to him.
Chen Xi finally saw a cost-effective car, but the other party told him that the price on the car was old and the new price had not been marked yet.
What made him angry was that the new price was a full five thousand yuan higher than the previous price.
Obviously, the other party saw that he was young and wanted to kill him severely.
Because sales are based on commission, the higher the selling price, the higher the salary will naturally be.
Gui Lao is actually very principled, but the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and Chen Xi doesn't follow his rules.
There are many second-hand car dealers here, but two car dealers have tried to deceive him. This undoubtedly made him a little frustrated and dampened his enthusiasm for purchasing.
