“Sir, here is your warm water.”

Gu Xia, who was sitting in the Maybach, heard the words. He came out to take the water, and thanked her.

“Sir, are you interested in this latest Maybach S300?” Wu Dan laughed.

“I like it, but I can’t afford it!” Gu Xia looked at the price again and said helplessly.

“Then in what price range are you looking to buy?”

Gu Xia calculated a little in his heart. He currently has 790,000 yuan. He must keep a little money in his hand, and he also couldn’t buy a car that was too cheap. In the future, he would definitely have to go to the company quite often. As one of the shareholders, it would not look that good if his car did not match his status. And, if he wanted to buy an acceptable car, he needed to buy a car that was worth at least 500,000 to 600,000 yuan. That way he wouldn’t need to change the car in the short term.

“Hmmm… I plan to buy a car within the price range of 500,000 to 600,000 yuan. Do you have any recommendations?” Gu Xia finished thinking about it and asked.

“Then you can take a look at the latest Mercedes-Benz E200. It is the latest model now. The price range is between 520,000 and 800,000 yuan. Come here please, I will show you the car.” Sales manager Wu Dan said with a smile .

She thought that this young man who seemed a little too young, would buy a cheaper C-series Mercedes-Benz. After all, many young people liked to show off, and the Mercedes-Benz C-series was much cheaper than other models, and it looked cooler. In addition, Mercedes-Benz was now being domestically produced, so the price was much lower.

She didn’t expect him to buy a Mercedes-Benz E-series. Generally, only middle-aged people liked to drive spacious cars like the E-series. Because the E-series were more business-oriented, it was more suited for them.

Gu Xia followed Wu Dan to the side of the Mercedes-Benz E200, and saw the slender black sedan. It had a business-like atmosphere and a large space inside.

Gu Xia was quite satisfied. Gu Xia also liked the strong business style of this car. The most important thing was that it had a large space and was comfortable to sit in. 

‘Maybe I can shake it with Sisi in the future…’ (G: He’s talking about cars*x.)

Gu Xia got a strange feeling just thinking about it.

“What do you think of this car?”

“Well, it’s quite good, how much is the configuration of this car now?” Gu Xia asked, pointing to the car in front of him.

“This is a comfortable version of the E200. The bare car price is 543,000 yuan, and it will cost nearly 600,000 yuan altogether.” Wu Dan said with a smile.

Gu Xia nodded. This price was still within his acceptable range. The price of E200 was not so high in his future, but the price of cars in this era was generally quite high.

“Alright, I chose this one!”

“Okay, please come with me. I’ll fill out the form for you first, and then go through other formalities.” Wu Dan said happily.

Gu Xia followed her, filled out the form, gave her his driver’s license and ID card, and then waited for her to complete the formalities. After that he took out his credit card and swiped to pay.

“Mr. Gu, the Mercedes-Benz E200 is already available in our warehouse. It arrived last week. It just so happens that the modified China Version you want is also available. Come with me, and I will take you to the vehicle management section to select the license plate.” Sales manager Wu Dan said with her trademark smile.

“Hmm.”

As for the modification of the grill, an additional 20,000 yuan was added for that. The grill on the front of the Mercedes-Benz E200 had a big triangle logo, and what Gu Xia added with the money was the modified version, which was the standard Mercedes-Benz logo.

There was a saying that if you don’t have the standard logo when driving a Mercedes-Benz, it was better not to drive it at all. Gu Xia also thought so. The standard logo was a symbol of high-end Mercedes-Benz.

Coming to the warehouse, Gu Xia saw a brand-new E200 parked there. Its black body looked elegant and noble. Gu Xia nodded with satisfaction.

“Let’s go! Mr. Gu, I’ll accompany you to the DMV to get your license plate.”

“Okay”

Gu Xia opened the driver’s door and got in. Since it was brand new, the car had a fresh smell. After that Gu Xia inserted the key and started the car.

Gu Xia was still a little unskilled in using this Mercedes-Benz with manual transmission, after all, none of the cars he drove before had manual transmission.

After Gu Xia got out of the 4S shop, he stepped on the accelerator, and the speed of the car suddenly soared.

When he arrived at the DMV, Gu Xia chose a Jiang AT1009 license plate. In this era, there were not many cars, so the license plate selection was much better than it would be in the future. 

Jiang was the abbreviation of Jiangbei Province, A was for Jiangbei City, as for the T1009, T was the initials of Tu Sisi’s “Tu”, and 1009 was Tu Sisi’s birthday, which was on October 9th.

Gu Xia looked at the license plate with satisfaction. ‘When Sisi sees it, she will definitely be very moved.’

After finishing everything, Gu Xia drove back to the university after filling up at the gas station. When he entered the university, it caused quite the commotion.

Gu Xia ignored the envious and jealous eyes. He drove back to university not to show off, but to park safely in the university. The parking spaces here were all used by teachers and leaders of the school, so there were security guards here and he didn’t have to spend money on parking as well. If he parked outside, the car might get scratched, and that would be annoying. Although the car was insured, but who wanted to have their car scratched?

When he returned to the dormitory, the three of his friends were not there. Gu Xia recalled that they had a class this morning.

He took out his mobile phone and checked the time. It was 11:00 am, and it was almost time for lunch. Gu Xia sent a message to all three of them, saying that he would be treating them to a meal together at noon, to celebrate the first car he bought in his life!

Gu Xia leaned on the bed and dialed Tu Sisi’s number, and sent her the photo of the license plate he had taken beforehand.

“Hey, Sisi, what are you doing?”

[I was about to sleep.] Tu Sisi said lazily, leaning on the bed. She was wearing a silk nightgown, which showed off her beautiful curves, but unfortunately no one was there to appreciate it.

“I went to buy a car today, a Mercedes-Benz.” Gu Xia said with a smile.

[You bought a car! And you bought a Mercedes-Benz so quickly, are you so corrupt?] Tu Sisi asked in surprise.

“Why would I be corrupt? I just bought the Mercedes-Benz E-series. Unfortunately, the money was not enough, otherwise I would have bought a Maybach.” Gu Xia pouted.

[Just the Mercedes-Benz E-series? Heee~ Even your tone has changed now that your thighs have gotten quite thick, hehe~] Tu Sisi laughed jokingly.

Gu Xia smiled and said, “You should see the license plate I chose, I’m sure you will be surprised.”

[What license plate? It won’t be five eighths or five sixes, right?]

“What kind of person do you think I am, how can I have that kind of license plate?” Gu Xia rubbed his nose with a wry smile.

A license plate with five eighths or five sixes, would be even more expensive than his car!

And could that kind of license plate even be obtained by ordinary people? Those kinds of license plates were exclusive to some big shots!

[Hehe~ why did you buy a Mercedes-Benz? Didn’t you say that you would buy a Volkswagen Passat like last time?]

“I thought about it for a bit, and realized that I was a legal shareholder of a company now, and the company was sure to make money. Wouldn’t I lose face if I bought a cheap car? That Brother Xu of mine drives a Bentley as well! That’s why I bought a Mercedes-Benz after thinking about it.” Gu Xia laughed.

[Yeah~ also, you have to buy one for me in the future. I want to drive a sports car and ride like Hu Chao’s Lamborghini every day. You must buy one for me in the future.] Tu Sisi said tenderly.

“Okay~ I’ll buy it for you when the company makes money.” Gu Xia smiled.

[How is your Mercedes-Benz? It must be great! It’s a pity that I’m not in Jiangbei. Otherwise, I would also know how it’s like to drive a Mercedes-Benz too.]

“It’s very good, and quite spacious. It’s very comfortable to sit in, and there’s also a refrigerator inside. I’ll take you for a drive and drink in the future. We can shake the car as well, hehe~” Gu Xia smiled.

“Shake what?” Tu Sisi asked suspiciously. After asking, she suddenly realized what he meant. Two people shaking the car. Isn’t it just that kind of car shaking? She immediately blushed and said, [You are acting like a hooligan again~]

“How come~ Isn’t that normal? We haven’t tried it yet. Let’s try it later?”

[I won’t try it with you, you can try it with someone else! Hmph~] Tu Sisi shyly hummed.

“Then I will really try with someone else~”

[You dare? If you dare to find someone else, I’ll chop up your thing, hum~] Tu Sisi sneered.

Gu Xia felt his chrysanthemum tighten when he heard her words. He felt a sudden cold breeze in his crotch, and hurriedly looked at it, fortunately, his little bro was still there.

“I’m joking, I’ll only do it with you! Besides, I’m not that kind of person!” Gu Xia hurriedly defended himself.

She can’t be offended, definitely not! If she really gets mad, he won’t be able to save his little bro! 

[Hmph~ You better not dare! Ha~ Okay, I’m feeling sleepy, so I’m hanging up.] Tu Sisi said with a yawn.

“Alright~ good night, have a sweet dream!”

[Hmph~ you didn’t say you love me.]

“I love you, alright! Now go to sleep!”

[Alright~ I love you too!]

After hanging up, Gu Xia rubbed his nose with a wry smile. Ever since that incident from last month, every time Tu Sisi hung up the phone, he had to say “I love you”, “I miss you so much”, etc. It was not even enough to not say it once!
