Chapter 3355: Chapter 3347: A Lesson in Street Smarts

Upon hearing Li Hao’s words, Lin Yi’s expression remained calm.

Looking at his outfit, it’s clear he’s a street youth.

Never been through life’s harsh lessons, wandering around the streets daily.

A cannon fodder type, yet feels good about himself.

Dreams of being a big boss every day, but doesn’t stand a chance.

"But our family’s situation can’t compare with others. We really can’t afford such an expensive car."

"No way, I just want the A6, no other brands will do."

Seeing Li Hao’s persistence, He Li was at a loss for words.

After all, they’re former neighbors, not actual relatives, saying too much wouldn’t be good.

"We still have the A4; you can take it for 287,000," He Li said.

Before Aunt Zhang could speak, Li Hao interrupted:

"The A4 is too small; taking it out doesn’t earn any face."

Li Hao looked at his mother again.

"Stop dawdling, get them to prepare the contract. I’ve told my friends we’ll take the new car for a spin later."

Aunt Zhang sighed, "Lili, if you take out a loan for this car, how much do you have to pay each month?"

"Monthly payment is over 8,000, almost 9,000, it’s not a small expense," He Li said:

"If you really buy it, how will you and Uncle Lee live?"

"The monthly payment is that high."

The couple was dumbfounded, "We earn about that much each month; if all goes to the loan, we really can’t live."

"I can also get a job, living will surely be fine," Li Hao urged:

"Pay quickly; so many people are watching. I don’t want to be embarrassed here."

"But..."

"Why so much nonsense? Others can afford it, why can’t you? It’s embarrassing going out with you."

Unable to handle Li Hao’s reprimand, Aunt Zhang didn’t know what to do.

"Xiao Hao, how can you talk like that to your mother," He Li said unhappily.

"Sister Li, don’t interfere. I’m buying this car today."

He Li’s face turned ugly with anger, but she didn’t know what to do.

"Lili, can you give us another discount?"

"This is really the lowest price. We’ve known each other for so many years, would I lie to you?" He Li said:

"Now even joint-venture cars aren’t expensive; you could look at Volkswagens from the same company. They’re really good quality and you can get one for tens of thousands, no need to buy the A6."

"Sister Li, don’t recommend other cars."

Li Hao stopped He Li, "I just want to buy this car, quickly handle the paperwork, the lowest down payment will do."

He Li gave Li Hao a disdainful glance, then looked at his mother.

If she disagreed, she definitely wouldn’t handle the paperwork for him.

"Lili, go handle the paperwork; we want this car."

He Li sighed, unsure what to say.

"Wait a moment."

Just as He Li was turning to leave, Lin Yi walked over.

"Bro, calm down."

Lin Yi patted Li Hao’s shoulder.

"Wear pants that fit your butt; there’s really no need to pretend to be rich over an A6, it’s nothing on the street."

Li Hao glanced up and down at Lin Yi several times.

"Who are you? My car purchase has nothing to do with you."

"I’m a sales rep from the car show, your Sister Li’s colleague."

"A sales rep, you can’t tell me what to do."

"I actually don’t want to meddle," Lin Yi said:

"But I understand your feelings, though the price of this car does exceed your limits; there’s no need to pretend to be rich."

As if Lin Yi exposed him, Li Hao’s face turned unpleasant.

"Whether I buy it or not is my business, it’s none of your concern, stop talking nonsense."

"How about I give you a tour around? If you still want to buy it when we return, I’ll give you a 20% discount, sound good?"

With those words, everyone looked at Lin Yi.

But no one stepped forward to speak.

Although he’s just a sales rep, observing over the days, headquarters noticed Lin Yi had significant influence.

Almost equivalent to Chen Lin.

And hearing Lin Yi’s offer of 20% off, Li Hao’s expression moved slightly.

A car worth over 400,000, with a 20% discount, he’d save over 80,000, better to save a bit.

But there’s no free lunch in the world.

No reason to offer such a big discount.

"Why are you taking me out?"

"Don’t you think you’re pretty great? Why ask so many questions? Chickened out?"

"Who are you calling chicken?" Li Hao said:

"I’m never afraid."

"Then don’t ask anything, dare to come with me?"

"What’s there to be afraid of, whoever chickens out is a loser!"

"Alright, let’s go."

Li Hao turned to his parents:

"Mom and Dad, I’m going out for a bit. Wait for me here; get the money ready, it’ll be much cheaper."

Li Hao’s parents were a bit anxious.

Unexpectedly, he was going with a stranger, they couldn’t help but worry.

"Aunt Zhang, Lin Yi is my colleague, don’t worry."

"Let’s go, I’ll take you for a spin," Lin Yi said to Li Hao.

"Let’s go then, who’s afraid of whom."

The two walked out together; Chen Lin and Wang Heng stood aside, witnessing the scene.

Chen Lin frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

Exiting the car show, Lin Yi looked at Li Hao.

"What’s your name?"

"Li Hao, and you?"

"Lin Yi, nice to meet you."

"I can’t be friends with someone like you, we’re not the same kind," Li Hao said.

"Why aren’t we the same kind?"

Li Hao lit a cigarette, speaking grandly:

"You people live the same routine daily; it’s just that for life, I’m not like you."

"Hmm?"

Lin Yi smiled at Li Hao, "Routine and stable life, isn’t that pretty good?"

"What’s good about it? Earning that fixed salary, you’ll be poor for life."

"But it seems like you don’t even have a proper job, criticizing me seems a bit off?"

"I just don’t have a job now; it doesn’t mean I won’t in the future," Li Hao pointed out:

"Though you’re older than me, my life experience is richer, so I’ll tell you a wise saying."

"What’s the saying?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.

"A real man doesn’t make capped earnings; I will definitely rise and earn millions annually!"

Lin Yi felt like laughing but also felt sad.

These young people from the bottom rung, even when imagining the future, are so limited.

Millions annually, in his eyes, seems like an impressive feat.

"Let’s go, get in the car, we’ll chat slowly."

"Which one’s your car?"

Lin Yi pointed ahead, "Right over there."

"A wreck of a Shari? Judging by its looks, it’s from the late 80s and early 90s?
