Chapter 87 No Sassing
"Ask me? Okay, let's go now and take a walk outside," Liu Wentian paused, then laughed and said.
After saying goodbye to Hao Yuntian, Liu Wentian pulled Li Chuyue away amidst the envious and jealous glares of the other men.
Walking by the side of the road, Liu Wentian and Li Chuyue looked like a couple out for a stroll. Liu Wentian was holding Li Chuyue's hand; she didn't resist, just blushed slightly.
Li Chuyue stole a few glances at Liu Wentian. He smiled and said, "Sister Yueyue, you're looking so closely, just like a newly married bride sneaking peeks at her husband to see what he looks like."
Li Chuyue's face turned red with embarrassment and said, "Stop talking nonsense."
Then, with a more serious expression, she said, "Liu Wentian, have you found a new job since you quit from the Top Level Model Agency? Have you found anything?"
She seemed a bit anxious as she continued, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not rushing you to pay me back. I'm just casually asking. If you haven't found a job yet, maybe I could help you find one? I have a sister whose husband owns a company. How about you work for him?"
Liu Wentian couldn't help but smile. Why was this woman always thinking of his welfare, always making him feel warm inside?
Liu Wentian laughed and said, "Sister Yueyue, don't worry. I've found a job. I'm working as a bodyguard for the big star Bai Ruguo, with a salary of ten million for half a year. Also, I just treated a wealthy person and received ten million in consultation fees. I asked him to use that money to buy me a flower shop. Didn't you say your dream was to own your own flower shop? I can help make that dream come true very soon."
Li Chuyue gave Liu Wentian a pinch on the waist and chided, "You little liar, I'm being serious with you. Are you going to work at my sister's husband's company or not? Stop talking nonsense, okay? But I am quite pleased that you remember I wanted my own flower shop."
"I'm serious, no joke," Liu Wentian replied, feeling a bit bummed.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm really getting angry. Earning ten million just for treating an illness and another ten million to be Bai Ruguo's bodyguard for half a year? Do you think I'm a fool?" Li Chuyue said, slightly annoyed.
Liu Wentian, "..."
"Okay, Liu Wentian, stop daydreaming all the time. Let's work hard and I'm sure we can settle down in Shenming City and have a good life. Understand?" Li Chuyue was like a wife lecturing her husband with lofty dreams.
"Know... I understand," Liu Wentian replied with a wry face, knowing full well he was telling the truth. Why wouldn't she believe him? Did he have to say he found a job that pays two or three thousand a month for it to be considered true?
"Good, be sensible and stop fantasizing. So have you found a job now?" Li Chuyue gave Liu Wentian a satisfied smile at his admission, and then she asked again.
"Uh..."
Liu Wentian was speechless. His current job really was being Bai Ruguo's bodyguard. Suddenly, seeing an insurance company across the street, he offhandedly said, "I found one, selling insurance."
"Selling insurance? Okay, that's not bad. If you're strong enough you can earn a lot. So are you going out every day now, knocking on doors to sell?" Li Chuyue inquired.
"It's alright, yeah, I have to go out and make sales calls every day," Liu Wentian replied, not really sure whether insurance salesmen were out in the field all the time and just blurted out an answer.
Li Chuyue furrowed her brows, looking somewhat concerned as she said, "Is that so? It'll soon be summer, and you'll be out there every day, which will be tiring and hot. Moreover, doing door-to-door sales may seem disrespectful if you are taking public transportation or taxis."
"Liu Wentian, how about I buy you a car? I've made some money recently and have around fifty thousand in savings. We could get something just over a hundred thousand on a payment plan, with a 30% down payment, plus insurance, acquisition tax, registration fee, etc. Fifty thousand should be just about enough..."
Li Chuyue hadn't finished speaking when Liu Wentian interrupted her.
Speaking earnestly, Liu Wentian said, "Sister Yueyue, stop it. How can I use your money to buy a car? As a grown man, if I need anything, I should earn the money to buy it myself. Let's not talk about this anymore. Besides, I don't need a car right now; it would be useless for me."
Liu Wentian was right. As Bai Ruguo's bodyguard, he had access to plenty of cars and didn't need one himself. But he had already told Li Chuyue about his job as a bodyguard, and she didn't believe him. Enjoy new adventures from empire
Oh well, once Zhu Wenhai finished helping him buy the flower shop, he would give Sister Yueyue a surprise. Then she would surely understand his capabilities.
Thinking of this, Liu Wentian felt some anticipation building up in his heart.
Li Chuyue, hearing Liu Wentian's refusal, insisted, "No, you have to listen to me. How could you not need a car when you go out to run business? You'll definitely need one. Come on, stop saying no. At most, you can just repay Sister Yueyue generously when you have the money."
Having said that, Li Chuyue pulled Liu Wentian towards a 4S store not far from their memory.
Liu Wentian, being reluctantly dragged forward, thought to himself, "I must repay you properly in this lifetime, not just for ZiTian, but I also have to repay you well tonight."
However, no matter what, he couldn't allow Li Chuyue to spend her money on a car for him. He still had one hundred thousand Yi on him, which was enough to buy a car for commuting, and it could come in handy when needed.
At this moment, Liu Wentian suddenly felt a surge of desire to buy Li Chuyue a luxury car.
Li Chuyue's home was quite far from the pretty model company as well. She had to squeeze onto buses and subways every day. If she had a car, her commute to and from work would be much more convenient.
This woman clearly needed a car for herself too, yet she was frugal and unwilling to spend the money. The moment she heard he was selling insurance again, she insisted on buying him a car, leaving Liu Wentian at a loss for words.
In Liu Wentian's eyes, Li Chuyue deserved to have one of the top-level sports cars, but alas, Liu Wentian had no money in his pocket and was unable to do anything about it.
Soon enough, the two reached a 4S store.
This 4S store was quite high-end, with just the showroom area covering over a thousand square meters, including everything from domestic brands like BYD and Chery to luxury sports cars like Ferrari and Bugatti.
Li Chuyue, pulling Liu Wentian through the door, took a look around and headed towards one area.
That area was designated for lower-end sedan displays, and Li Chuyue planned to buy something just over a hundred thousand, as she couldn't afford anything that was too expensive.
"Eh, Chuyue, what brings you here? Have you finally decided to buy a car?" a somewhat excited voice said.
Li Chuyue looked towards the person and smiled, "Sister Ling, you're here too? What a coincidence."
She was a woman around thirty years old, with an above-average appearance that was slightly plump. She seemed very happy to see Li Chuyue and approached with a man by her side.
There was also another man with a beer belly and a slightly balding head accompanying them; it was clear that the three of them had come together.
Approaching Li Chuyue, the woman said with a smile, "Chuyue, I'm here today with your brother-in-law and Boss Wang to take a look around and possibly buy a car."
The woman pointed at the balding middle-aged man and added with a smile, "Oh, and this is Boss Wang."
Boss Wang, upon seeing Li Chuyue, had a greedy glint in his eyes like a hungry wolf, but he managed to maintain a gentlemanly smile, saying, "Miss Li, hello. I've heard about you from Zhu Ling. She said you're a good friend of hers, very beautiful. I thought perhaps she was exaggerating, but now I see you're even more beautiful than she described."
Li Chuyue smiled politely at him, but it was somewhat perfunctory, and she didn't engage further, instead introducing Liu Wentian, "Wentian, this is Sister Ling. When I first came to Shenming City, she helped me out a lot. The man beside her is her husband, Cui Kaiwen."
Liu Wentian nodded in greeting and smiled at Zhu Ling, "Hello, Sister Ling. Helping Sister Yueyue is like helping me. If there's anything you need help with, just let me know."
Zhu Ling, however, frowned and said to Li Chuyue, "Chuyue, is this the Liu Wentian you mentioned? Hehe, he really is young."
Liu Wentian was slightly taken aback; Zhu Ling seemed to have something against him, although he couldn't recall offending her.
However, Li Chuyue understood why Zhu Ling was acting this way.
What do you think?
