The middle-aged man was stunned for a while as he watched the SUV drive out of the parking lot slowly. All of a sudden, he chased after the car excitedly and shouted, "Wait! Wait up, young sir! You haven't told the sales manager my work number yet!
You don't have to spend a single cent, you don't have to spend a single cent on the commission, you just have to tell them my work number. Tell, tell … tell me … Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, sh * t! I'm such an idiot! I'm such a f * cking idiot! I don't even have the money to buy a turkey on Christmas Eve! How could I let four thousand dollars fly away just like that … "
As the middle-aged man was panting and groaning at the side of the road, Zhang Lisheng who took a wrong turn was driving the Explorer carefully on New York's bustling Dolby Avenue.
It took him a full hour to drive the car in a big circle at 30 miles per hour before he finally drove the car out of his house.
A few minutes later, Lili who was waiting to see what kind of car her independent son would buy had her jaw dropped when she saw the Explorer. "Baby, you … you bought a brand new seven-seater SUV!
Didn't you say there's only 5,000 dollars left in your account last time? Don't tell me this car is only worth a few thousand dollars? "
"Mom, this isn't a new car, it's a second-hand car that's around two years old. Of course, you can't buy a car like this with a few thousand dollars.
But since it's almost Christmas, the slaughterhouse is earning a lot of money. I have over 30,000 dollars in free funds now, so … "
"You're saying the slaughterhouse that you bought with 100,000 dollars earned you over 30,000 dollars in less than a month?"
"Yes, I've changed the business model and greatly increased the productivity. Kaiserland Town's National Farmers Union is hiring me as the union's director," Zhang Lisheng lied nonstop.
In reality, if the wizard worm did not eat the livestock's organs and blood, the money spent to deal with the ecological waste alone would take over 80% of his profit.
Lili was stunned for a while with her mouth wide open, "Wow, your performance has made me … I'm speechless. I'm proud of you, baby.
But it's hard to put this car in our garage … "
"It's alright mom, I've already rented a parking space at the parking lot at the back street. You know, it's only a five-minute walk there, it's almost as convenient as parking at home."
"Oh, I'm used to your confidence, baby. Now drive the car to the parking lot.
Although I know you'll never do such a silly thing, I still have to remind you not to show off this car in front of Randy, or else he'll go crazy from jealousy, "Lili sighed and said as she looked at her son who was becoming more and more unfamiliar.
However, she had no idea that Zhang Lisheng's independent personality was the real character that he had cultivated in Guawo Village for more than ten years.
The docile son she saw in the past was just a facade of obedience that Zhang Lisheng showed when he first met his mother.
Zhang Lisheng nodded with a smile and turned around to enter the Explorer. He started the engine and drove to the parking lot.
Halfway through the journey, the Explorer's Bluetooth connected car phone suddenly rang. "Beep beep …"
Zhang Lisheng picked up the phone casually and George's noisy voice resonated from the car phone immediately, "Buddy, I've just finished. How's the car you bought?"
"I've already bought it."
"Wow, this is just in time. How efficient of you."
What brand of car did you buy? "George asked excitedly.
"A Ford Explorer."
"Oh, did you know, Lisheng? Your biggest characteristic is that you never surprise people.
Driving a Ford, drinking Cordon Bleu, watching a basketball game, taking Christmas presents out of a big sock, that's something that only old people would do.
As young people, don't you think our taste should be more unique?
But forget it, having a car is better than not having a car. Pick me up at Dan Souza Butcher Shop, I've arranged a date for us. "
"George, what do you mean by 'I've arranged a date for us'?"
"I've asked two girls out, one for you and the other for me.
You don't have to thank me buddy, this is what I should do as a lonely young man's only friend. "
"George, my plan today is to buy a car and have lunch with my mom. I'll go to the pet shop in New York City in the afternoon and pick a pet. Then, I'll go to Kaiserland Town to look at the slaughterhouse …"
"Listen, buddy, I know you're a mysterious and special high school student.
However, no matter how mysterious and special a high school student is, he'll be looked down upon in school if he's alone without a dance partner at the prom.
By then, even if your mom's in charge of the school, there'll still be people who will bully and laugh at you. This is the tradition in every high school in America.
Don't tell me that you're planning to rely on your family for everything, or … you know, deal with those normal classmates who laugh at you in your way? "
It was not a good thing for a person with a secret to be too unsociable in life. Zhang Lisheng fell into silence for a while and said in annoyance, "There weren't so many problems when I was in school in China."
"But you're in America now.
Come quickly, the two girls I found are hot. If Lowbige isn't a high school, there won't be such pretty girls who want to date our seniors to agree to go on a date with us.
Remember to bring your new car, I told them that you have a car. Let's go for a ride today, it's fun … "
"George, you can bring them to Dan Souza Butcher Shop's freezer if they want to go for a ride in -7 degrees Celsius …
But alright, wait for me, I'll be there soon, "Zhang Lisheng hung up the phone as he spoke. He called Lili's number and told her about the date.
"That's great, baby. Every high school boy has a dance partner for the prom. Of course, I hope you're the same.
Seems like you've made a friend who cares about you. Have fun on your date, but remember, don't touch any alcohol. "
"Got it, mom." Zhang Lisheng sat in the driver's seat and said loudly into the car phone. He turned around slowly and arrived at Dan Souza Butcher Shop while driving and stopping in the traffic.
George was wearing a rustic cotton hat outside the butcher shop in the cold wind. He stared at the cars that were passing by without blinking.
Zhang Lisheng parked the car in the parking space next to him. When he opened the window, he did not seem to see the sturdy seven-seater SUV at all. He and his skinny friend who was familiar with him in the driver's seat were still looking around.
It was only until Zhang Lisheng called out to him loudly, "George, what are you looking at? Get in the car now," He realized Zhang Lisheng was in the big car not far away.
George was stunned for a moment. He took a good look at the Explorer in surprise and hopped into the car. He sat on the passenger seat that was as comfortable as an airline seat. He touched the luxurious big screen control panel in front of him softly and exclaimed, "Oh, oh my god, Lisheng, don't tell me this is the second-hand Ford that you bought!"
"Yeah, it's different from what you thought. I remember telling you that I'm going to buy a bigger car?"
"'Bigger car'? Sh * t, usually when 16-year-old high school students say they want to buy a bigger car, they mean they want to buy a two-handed Ford Fiesta that's bigger than a lady's Beetle, not a seven-seater SUV that's bigger than a bus!
If I knew you'd drive such a car, I wouldn't have wasted my time talking to Lina and Hannah, I would've just … But it's great.
But this is good too, Lisheng. Your 'weapon' has far exceeded my expectations. Perhaps we'll have an unexpected harvest today.
Let's go, our destination is Lowbige Junior High. The two ladies that we're dating are going to finish their holiday club activities and fall into our arms … "
Zhang Lisheng stepped on the gas pedal and drove to Lowbige Junior High while George was talking in excitement.
He was regretting a little at the moment. He should not have been tempted by George's words and wasted his precious Saturday rest time to go on a date with a lady that he had never seen before.
However, it was impossible for him to chase George out of the car since it had come to this. He could only learn from it and promise not to do it again. He could only go on with the date today.
Zhang Lisheng arrived outside of Lowbige Junior High while George was praising the Explorer for the umpteenth time.
He parked the car by the roadside and George said immediately, "Wait for me here, I'll go look for the ladies," He opened the car door and hopped out of the car. He then ran into the open-style school.
Zhang Lisheng stayed in the car alone and frowned in frustration. He thought about it and turned on the car computer on the Explorer's control panel that was not just for show. He began searching for the locations of the famous pet stores in New York City and the insects that they sold on the internet.
Chameleon, lizard, guardian, snake, spider, toad … He browsed for a while but did not find anything that he was satisfied with, so he began searching for pet customization on the internet.
Later on, Zhang Lisheng found out that the stores that advertised themselves as New York's Large Pet Store had 'pet customization' service. Therefore, he randomly found the number of the pet store with the most gorgeous design on the website and called.
"Hello, this is Golden Crown Pet's Home. How can I help you?"
"Hi, I need pet customization service.
May I know if you guys provide customization service for venomous snakes, venomous insects, or ferocious reptiles? "
Hearing Zhang Lisheng's request, the lady who was initially gentle became very rude right away. She said coldly, "Of course, but it's better if you call the zoo or the mental hospital." She then hung up the phone.
