Reborn in 2000: Reuniting with the School Belle - Chapter 154

Yi Feng parked the car downstairs, then went up to have dinner with Gu Muxi.

At home, Meng Xiaoyun had already prepared dinner, while Yi Jianbing and Gu Xingzhong chatted and smoked in the living room.

Seeing Yi Feng return home, Yi Jianbing smiled and asked, “Son, did you buy the car? Which model did you choose?”

“Yes, Dad, I bought an Audi 100.” Yi Feng took out the car keys to show them and then took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handing it to Gu Xingzhong.

“Here, Uncle Gu, have a cigarette.”

Gu Xingzhong was surprised to see the pack of cigarettes, “My goodness, little Feng, you’ve started smoking premium cigarettes? Look at you, a real boss now!”

“Well, I just carry them around, only smoke them when meeting business partners,” Yi Feng scratched his head modestly.

“Ha ha, then I’m lucky today, getting to smoke a premium cigarette. Old Yi, you’ve got a good son!” Gu Xingzhong heartily praised.

Yi Jianbing laughed, “little Feng really has made something of himself. I’m truly relieved.”

Saying this, he took the car keys from Yi Feng’s hand, examined them closely, and asked, “What’s this Audi 100? I’ve never heard of it.”

He was a low-level technician in the factory, had barely ridden in a car with four wheels in his life, and knew even less about cars.

Given the current salaries, even working for several more decades might not afford him a car, not to mention he was about to be unemployed. Buying a car was something he dared only dream about.

Yet, this dream had come true for Yi Feng.

Gu Xingzhong, after lighting a cigarette, laughed, “Old Yi, the Audi 100, eh? An executive car, I’ve only seen it used by city officials, and only by high-ranking ones at that!”

He showed two fingers to Yi Jianbing.

“A car for the top one or two officials? My god! That must be expensive, right?!” Yi Jianbing exclaimed in shock.

“How can it be called a luxury car if it’s not expensive? It’s an imported brand, must be over two hundred thousand, right?” Gu Xingzhong guessed, then looked up at Yi Feng, “little Feng, how much did you pay for it?”

“Uncle, the base price was 323,000 yuan, with other fees and insurance, it came to 340,000 yuan,” Yi Feng sat next to Gu Xingzhong.

“What?! 340,000 yuan?!”

Gu Xingzhong and Yi Jianbing exclaimed in unison, full of astonishment.

They knew the car was expensive, but they hadn’t expected it to be this expensive!

340,000 yuan, for an average family, that was an astronomical figure.

Yi Jianbing twisted his mouth, knowing Yi Feng had made quite a bit of money, but still felt a pang in his heart hearing about spending 340,000 yuan.

“Little Feng… that’s a lot of money you’ve spent!”

Gu Xingzhong paused, then burst out laughing, patting Yi Feng on the shoulder, “Ha ha, don’t listen to your dad. When doing business outside, you need to have a luxury car to make an impression. If you drove a regular car, how could you close deals and make money?”

“Little Feng, you’re really something, even better than your uncle here!”

“Don’t look at me now as the vice director, but I’m still just earning a salary. What I’ve earned over the years doesn’t even amount to the price of this car!”

Yi Feng modestly said, “Not at all, I still have a lot to learn from you, Uncle.”

Gu Xingzhong’s appreciation and affection for Yi Feng grew even more, “Little Feng, among the 1.2 billion people in the country, not many can afford a car with four wheels, let alone such a luxury car. You don’t have to be modest, you should be proud!”

Little Feng is truly commendable: a good person, good character, excellent student, and strong earning ability. He’s the ideal son-in-law material!

Ah, it’s just a pity that Xixi and Little Feng don’t seem to get along. What a waste.

Gu Xingzhong glanced at Gu Muxi, who was casually eating oranges and stuffing her mouth full, and sighed silently.

Yi Jianbing happily said, “Let’s go for a ride after dinner to experience it!”

“Sure, I’ve never been in such a luxury car either. Let’s go after we eat,” Gu Xingzhong eagerly anticipated.

Then, Meng Xiaoyun and Li Wan brought the dishes out from the kitchen.

“Come on, let’s eat. Xixi, Little Feng, go wash your hands,” Meng Xiaoyun called out.

“Okay, Auntie~” Gu Muxi obediently replied.

The two families joyfully dined together, with Yi Jianbing especially happy, even sharing a few drinks with Gu Xingzhong.

After dinner, Yi Feng took the four elders downstairs for a drive.

They circled the neighborhood several times, with the elders excitedly discussing inside the car as if they had discovered a new continent.

Yi Jianbing even played with the electric windows several times, marveling at the luxury.

After a satisfying few rounds, they returned to the neighborhood.

Yi Feng parked the car, and as the four elders went upstairs, he saw Gu Muxi sitting under a tree eating a popsicle.

“Gu Muxi, why are you eating a popsicle again?”

Yi Feng walked over, sitting beside her, “Do you have one for me?”

Gu Muxi rolled her eyes before reluctantly handing over a popsicle hidden behind her back.

“Here, I wanted to eat it all by myself, hmph~”

Yi Feng watched her expression, noticing her eyes twinkling, and laughed, “Stop pretending, you must have saved it for me on purpose. Thanks.”

Gu Muxi’s cheeks reddened, she huffed, “You, you wish. Who would save it specially for you? Really.”

Yi Feng chuckled, tearing open the wrapper and biting into the popsicle.

“Gu Muxi, I checked my work schedule, and I’m free the day after tomorrow. Shall we go camping?”

“Sure, I’m free every day now, just waiting for school to start,” Gu Muxi happily agreed.

“Then it’s settled. It’ll be just the two of us,” Yi Feng was pleased.

Gu Muxi paused, asking, “What, aren’t Wang Tie and Han Ping’an coming?”

Yi Feng seriously replied, “Oh, they’re very busy with work, no time at all.”

“Brother Feng! Brother Feng! Let me see your new car!”

Suddenly, Wang Tie ran over from a distance.

When he saw the Audi 100, he excitedly called out to Yi Feng, “Wow, such a cool car! Brother Feng, you’re off in two days, shall we drive out for fun?”

Yi Feng: “……”

Damn, Tie, you couldn’t have timed this worse!

“Cough cough, Tie, you… you have a lot of work, right?” Yi Feng gave Wang Tie a significant look, trying to signal him.

It was too dark for Wang Tie to see his expression, but he excitedly approached the two, “Ah, Gu Muxi is here too!”

“Brother Feng, where are we going to have fun in two days? Drive around nearby?”

Gu Muxi looked puzzled, “Tie, didn’t Yi Feng say you were busy in two days?”

“Uh… ah? What? I have a day off in two days?” Wang Tie was taken aback.

Yi Feng coughed, “Tie, you remembered wrong, no day off. Didn’t you say you were going to train newcomers at the new store?”

Then, Yi Feng gave him another meaningful look.

Wang Tie finally caught on and hastily corrected, “Ah right, I don’t have a day off, my mistake!”

Gu Muxi looked skeptical, “Really?”

“Really! Truer than 99K gold!”

“I swear!” Wang Tie immediately raised four fingers.

He internally exclaimed, “Mama mia! Almost ruined Brother Feng’s plans!”

Luckily, he reacted quickly.

Yi Feng grinned and patted his shoulder, “Tie, channel your heartbreak into motivation. I have faith in you!”

Wang Tie wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed nervously, “Yes, yes, Brother Feng, definitely, I’ll do my best!”

“Is Han Ping’an also busy? Why not bring Nannan along?” Gu Muxi asked.

Wang Tie hastily waved his hands, “Ah, that… Ping’an is even busier than me, and Nannan has to prepare for school!”

“Ah, Gu Muxi, just go with Brother Feng, that’s enough!”

Gu Muxi, licking her popsicle, turned to Yi Feng and said helplessly, “Alright, I thought you all were going. It’s more fun with more people.”

Yi Feng chuckled, biting off half the popsicle, “Gu Muxi, actually… just the two of us can have fun too!”

“What can just the two of us do for fun?”

“Whatever two people can do.”
