That lecturer was also their department head. His professional ability was undeniable, and he liked to chat with his students in class. Everyone had a good impression of him.

It was a sunny afternoon, and the lecturer began to talk about his experience as usual after finishing a lecture.

“Students, you must remember that it’s really useful to learn professional knowledge!”

He still remembered his bespectacled and refined lecturer. His hair was combed into a 3/7 haircut, and he always wore a formal suit to class. Not to mention, he had a great temperament.

“There was a factory that offered me tens of thousands of yuan to help them find a technical malfunction. When I went to the scene, I could already see the problem, so it was easy to fix. But they were paying tens of thousands of yuan. I couldn’t fix it too soon, so I sucked it up and went on a three-day business trip before I finally resolved their problem. Knowledge can put food on the table. Have you learned that?”

“Hahahaha, we have, we have!”

Cheng Xu did not remember anything from that lesson. He only remembered the lecturer’s story.

Cheng Xu had suspected that the lecturer had strayed from the subject, but it seemed to still be relevant.

In the end, he decided to endure it.

With the familiar sound of an insect chirp, Cheng Xu received a WeChat message.

Deep-sea Fish: [When are you free to go look at cars with me?]

Deep-sea Fish was the WeChat name of the girl he met at the used car dealer. The two of them still did not know each other’s names even after adding each other on WeChat.

Cheng Xu: [Big bro, let me rest first. I just got out of the hospital.]

Deep-sea Fish: [What were you doing at the hospital?]

Cheng Xu: [I fell while walking and was hospitalized for two days.]

Deep-sea Fish: [ You’re amazing.]

Deep-sea Fish: [Then, hurry up. If you’re late, the car I’m looking at will be bought by someone else.]

Cheng Xu: [You’re like an old capitalist. How about tomorrow?]

Deep-sea Fish: [Transferred: ¥1,000.00]

Deep-sea Fish: [Xu, use the money well. I expect quality service tomorrow! ]

‘That’s right!. You can see the last character of the name when you transfer money.’ Cheng Xu smacked his head and sent a one-yuan transfer to Deep-sea Fish. ‘…Yun? Could it be Bu Jingyun?’

Cheng Xu: [Hello, rich lady. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll take the money and blacklist you?]

Deep-sea Fish: [Do you want me to stab you? [knife emoji]]

Cheng Xu: [Received: ¥1,000.00]

Cheng Xu: [ Okay, I’ll call you tomorrow. 187********.

Deep-sea Fish: []

Cheng Xu naturally would not just take the money and do nothing in return. So, he accepted the 1,000 yuan with ease. After all, in the area of buying second-hand cars, a small problem could cost thousands of yuan to resolve.

Moreover, this rich lady might want to buy a luxury car, so 1,000 yuan was really nothing to her.

After taking a shower that night, Cheng Xu skillfully separated the water droplets on the surface of his body with his mind instead of a towel.

Even if it was an ability given by the system, there was still the matter of “practice makes perfect.” At the same time, as he practiced, Cheng Xu felt that he was getting more and more energetic, and even his mental processes were faster.

He put up another mosquito repellent shield before he went to bed.

…

The two of them agreed to meet at the used car dealer. Cheng Xu thought about it and decided that it would be expensive to ride his three-wheeled motorcycle there, so he might as well take the bus.

After walking for one or two kilometers and changing buses, Cheng Xu finally arrived at the used car dealer before ten o’clock.

He had already taken care of his breakfast along the way, and now he just had to wait for his fairy godmother to arrive.

Cheng Xu was also afraid that she would not notice him when she arrived, so he gave her a call. “Hello, I’m already at the used car dealer. Have you arrived? ”

“Oh, I’ll be right there. I’m stuck in traffic.” The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little rushed.

“Alright, be careful on the road.” After hanging up the phone, Cheng Xu immediately went to find a wayside pavilion to sit down in.

“Heh. Lady, how can there be no sound around in a traffic jam?”

At about ten-thirty, Cheng Xu, who was tired from reading a novel, was stretching when he saw a Mercedes-Benz C63 park at the gate of the used car dealer. Then his phone rang.

“I know, I see you.” After hanging up the phone, Cheng Xu quickly walked over to her.

She was wearing a pair of tight-fitting black jeans paired with Doc Martin boots today. She had changed her top into a green spaghetti strap top, which seemed to add a lot of femininity to her appearance.

“Get in.”

This used car dealer was quite big, and it seemed that she had found the dealership she wanted to go to.

Gao Qingyun kept looking at the car while turning her face to look at Cheng Xu. She could not help but laugh at last.

“Hahaha, the wound on your face is quite unique.”

Cheng Xu scowled. There was no helping it. Both sides of his cheeks were slightly grazed, and now that they had formed scabs, they looked like two blushes.

The two of them finally figured out each other’s names in this second encounter.

“Cheng Xu, eh? Are you a programmer?”

“No, I’m still in school.”

Cheng Xu did not know how many times he had answered this question. There was no helping it, it was his name.

“So you major in computer science?”

“No, material science.”

“I heard that the rings made with biochemical materials are all scams. I think it’s quite suitable for you to switch to computer science, hahahahaha!”

Hearing Gao Qingyun’s hearty laughter, Cheng Xu’s impression of her as a cool sister crumbled.

“She seems to be a chatterbox.”

Of course, Cheng Xu only dared to curse in his heart.

As soon as she parked the car, a handsome salesman jogged over.

“Hello, Ms. Gao. Are you here to see cars again today?”

It was obvious that Gao Qingyun was a regular customer here. She only nodded slightly, and the salesman led them to the sales area.

Following her gaze, Cheng Xu guessed that she had taken a fancy to a silver Porsche 718. Sure enough, the salesman walked directly toward the Porsche and began to introduce it.

“Ms. Gao, you mentioned this to us last time, so we’ve been paying attention to the news in this area. As a matter of fact, we informed you as soon as we found a suitable car.”

“Tell me about the condition of this car,” Gao Qingyun said indifferently, her expression unreadable under her sunglasses.

“Okay, this is a 16-year-old Porsche 718 Boxster from 2016. The owner spent several hundred thousand yuan on the optional configurations. A new car like this would cost about 800,000 yuan. It has a silver-gray exterior and a red-black interior. It’s also quite nice.”

The salesman opened the car door and showed them the interior.

“This car comes with ejection ports, a compass, dynamic headlights, and 20-inch wheels. It’s a very luxurious car in every aspect.”

Cheng Xu accompanied Gao Qingyun as they walked around the car a few times. He found that the car was really not bad. At least, it was very good-looking.

Just as he got into the car to feel it, he heard the salesman say, “The main thing is the price we gave you. It’s also very favorable. It only costs 550,000 yuan, and you can drive it away immediately.”

Gao Qingyun and Cheng Xu both nodded their heads. This price was indeed acceptable.

After a test drive, Gao Qingyun had already fallen in love with this car. After Cheng Xu’s repeated persuasion, she finally regained her aloof expression.

It seemed that she would definitely buy this car. All that was left was the haggling.
