Chapter 175: I Thought It Was a Bentley
“Errand boy?”
Zhang Song exclaimed when he learned of Lin Yi’s job.
“Boss, what did you say? Errand boy? The type of errand boy who buys things for others?”
“That’s right, that’s the one.”
Zhang Song’s expression was a little unnatural. “Boss, when you were in school, you were the most promising student in the dorm. Why are you still doing this kind of service?”
“It’s mainly about freedom. I’m enjoying it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to pick you up at this time.”
“I understand what you mean, but you’re a good person. No matter how bad the situation, you can’t run errands for others.” Zhang Song had a bitter expression on his face. He didn’t feel good about his boss’s unhappy life.
“Don’t you have a Shari? Even if you drive for DiDi, it’s better than running errands.”
Lin Yi was gratified to see the anxious look on Zhang Song’s face. This guy hadn’t changed at all.
“The Shari is too shabby. There’s no way to register anymore, so I can only run errands.” Lin Yi said with a smile.
“Although it’s a little bitter, it’s better to have freedom. It’s much better than sitting in an office.”
“Freedom is great for sure, but no matter what, it’s still a job that requires you to serve people.” Zhang Song said sadly.
“With your ability, running errands is definitely a waste of talent. How about this? In any case, your hometown isn’t Zhonghai, so it doesn’t matter where you are. Why don’t you come with me to Yanjing? The two of us can still look after each other when we’re together.”
“What are you talking about!”
Yue Jiao pulled Zhang Song over. “Are you crazy!?”
“What did I do?”
“The two of us are already living in poverty in Yanjing. We even have to be careful when we go out to restaurants, yet you still want to bring him to Yanjing? Do you know how much this will affect us? I don’t have that much spare money to take care of him!”
“But he’s my boss. I have to help him if he’s in trouble!”
“Hmph, let me put it this way. If you dare to bring him to Yanjing, we will break up. Think it over carefully!”
“This...”
Zhang Song stopped talking because he didn’t know what to say.
On one hand, Lin Yi was his brother, and on the other hand, this was his girlfriend. He had no choice.
“Alright, you don’t have to worry about me.” Lin Yi said with a smile. “I’ll be fine in Zhonghai. I won’t go to Yanjing.”
“That’s more like it. You’re quite perceptive,” Yue Jiao muttered.
“Jiaojiao!”
At that moment, a shout came from behind Lin Yi and Zhang Song.
Lin Yi and Zhang Song turned around and saw a slightly chubby man running over.
He wasn’t that tall, and looked a bit like Yue Jiao.
The man’s name was Yue Hai, Yue Jiao’s brother.
“Bro, what are you doing here?” Yue Jiao asked happily.
Lin Yi noticed that Zhang Song didn’t seem to know this person.
It was pretty obvious from his expression.
“Aren’t you her boyfriend? You don’t know your future brother-in-law yet?”
Zhang Song shook his head awkwardly. “We’ve only been together for half a year. It’s not a long time, and I don’t know much about their family.”
Lin Yi was speechless.
If it were Lin Yi, he would have done a special home run by now.
He didn’t even know the other person’s relatives. That was messed up.
“Mom said you were coming back today, so I came to pick you up,” Yue Hai said with a smile.
“You were supposed to pick me up? What time is it? You’re late.”
“You don’t know. There’s a new Bentley Continental parked outside. It’s said to sell for more than four million dollars. I just watched it for a while. I wasn’t paying attention, so I wasted some time.”
“Bentley Continental? This car isn’t very common in Yanjing,” Yue Jiao said.
“That’s right. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have wasted my time,” Yue Hai said.
“And not only is the car valuable, the license plate number is also awesome. Hu ANB888! It’s like a package deal. It’s really awesome.”
“Hehe, I want to take a look later too. I want to take a few pictures.”
Lin Yi, “...”
No one would think that these two didn’t come from the same family. They were obviously biological siblings.
The two chatted briefly, and Yue Hai looked at Zhang Song with a hint of arrogance.
“Is he your boyfriend?”
“Yeah, he’s on a business trip this time, so I came back to visit too.”
Yue Hai sized up Zhang Song. “Kid, What’s your annual salary?”
Facing his future brother-in-law, Zhang Song was a little nervous.
“Including the business trip allowance, I earn about 150,000 a year. But there’s still a lot of room for improvement. I have opportunities to increase my salary in the future.”
“Only 150,000 dollars?” Yue Hai frowned and said.
“The housing prices in Yanjing are so expensive. With such a small amount of money, can you even buy a house?”
“This...”
Zhang Song was at a loss for words. “It might be a little difficult for the time being, but I will work hard.”
“Have you bought a car? Is it a domestic model or an imported one?” Yue Hai asked again.
“Car... I haven’t bought a car yet.”
With his current income, it was actually no problem for him to buy a car.
However, with the money he earned, besides the rent, utilities, and money, he also had to support Yue Jiao.
Other than that, he also had to prepare presents and surprises for her. Her lifestyle was already above his income. If he didn’t have a credit card, he might not even have been able to afford a plane ticket.
The matter of buying a car was still far away.
“No way, you don’t even have a car?” Yue Hai’s expression was one of displeasure, showing a strong sense of superiority.
“The housing prices in Yanjing are not cheap. I can understand if you can’t afford it, but you don’t even have a car. Isn’t this a joke? What’s the use of money? You’re so young, yet you haven’t even grasped the concept of saving money. How are you going to live in the future?”
“The main reason is that Jiaojiao doesn’t have a job. It’s indeed a little difficult for my salary to support two people. So, the matter of buying a car...”
“What? We’ve only been together for a short while, and you’re already complaining that my sister doesn’t earn money?” Yue Hai said with a cold face.
“So the beloved daughter of our Yue family still has to suffer with you?”
“No, no, no, I didn’t mean that.” Zhang Song wiped his cold sweat and said,
“Maybe my salary is a little low, so I can’t afford a car for the time being.”
“It has nothing to do with the salary, you’re just brainless!” Yue Hai lectured.
“Our salaries are about the same. I bought a $200,000-plus Mustang in my third year at work, and I have a girlfriend too. Why can I do it but you cannot?”
“This...”
“My brother doesn’t have a car, but I do. It’s just a car. Is that important?” LIn Yi said,
“So you’re saying that those people who take the bus and take the subway don’t have to live anymore?”
Lin Yi initially didn’t want to get involved in this.
However, his bro was only mature on the surface. Inside, he was still an honest man who wasn’t good with words.
“It’s your business whether or not you have a car. What does it have to do with him?”
Yue Hai had seen Lin Yi a long time ago, but he didn’t take him seriously.
“We haven’t seen each other for more than half a year. I’m going to give him my car as a greeting gift.” Lin Yi said with a smile
“Give him your car as a greeting gift?” Yue Hai was stunned. Who was Zhang Song’s friend that he was going to give him a car?
Wasn’t that a little too much?
“Bro, don’t listen to him. He just said it himself. His car is a Shari, and it’s so shabby that it doesn’t even qualify him to drive for didi. It’s not worth much at all. It might even be scrapped.”
“Damn, it turns out its just a Shari! I thought it was a Bentley.”
