Chapter 476 - 464: She Still Can’t Quite Let Go! (Part 2)
Ye Wen replied, "He’s my student’s dad!"
"Wait a minute, my brain’s a bit scrambled by what you said."
Liu Menglin was a bit confused about the relationship here, then suddenly realized and quickly said, "Your student’s dad? Wen... you better not knowingly step into a love triangle!"
Ye Wen: "..."

Huang Tao drove his family to their destination.
They got out of the car.
The group happily walked into the showroom of the Mercedes dealership.
Immediately, a young saleswoman with a good appearance came up to them, showing a charming and signature smile, she bowed slightly to Huang Tao and said, "Hello sir, are you here by appointment or to look at cars?"
It must be said, their eyes are sharp. Even though this family of four looked quite ordinary in their attire, they definitely didn’t come here just to chat and have tea.
They are genuinely here to buy a car!
In the dealership, it’s quite common to see whole families come to look at cars.
And for the sales staff, identifying the decision-maker among them is undoubtedly a basic skill.
This female salesperson’s target selection was very accurate, she set her eyes on Huang Tao at a glance.
Unfortunately, today she misread the situation a bit, the decision-maker was Huang Yide on the side, and Huang Tao was just a walking ATM.
Huang Tao nodded and said, "Just looking at cars."
"Alright, then I’ll be assisting you next."
She handed out a business card with a smile and said, "My name is Gao Lu, may I know how to address you, sir?"
"Huang Tao."
"Mr. Huang, is there a specific model you’re interested in?"
Huang Tao turned his head to look at his dad on the side and asked, "Dad, have you decided on a model?"
Huang Yide replied without hesitation, "The E-Class."
"There just happens to be an exhibition car for the E-Class, let me take you over to have a look!"
Gao Lu smiled, made a guiding gesture, and led the family to a black sedan, and started to introduce it: "This is an E300 luxury standard model, it has a very rich configuration, you can get in to experience it, and you can also go for a test drive."
Huang Tao took Xuanxuan and walked around the car.
Hmm, not bad, the model is indeed quite good-looking.
The interior is also pretty, and the space is not small, very suitable for family use.
Huang Yide, on the other hand, sat in the driver’s seat with his hands on the steering wheel and didn’t let go.
He was extremely delighted.
He was even reluctant to come out.
He kept muttering about wanting to pass his driving test within a month.
That way, he could drive the Mercedes in the shortest time, instead of letting it gather dust in the garage for a while after buying it.
Song Cailian also had a smile on her face the entire time.
It’s the second car her son is buying this half year!
If it were in the past, she wouldn’t even dare to think about it!
Moreover, the car they are buying this time is a Mercedes!
In the eyes of their older generation, Mercedes is a symbol of wealth!
Working hard all your life and being able to drive a Mercedes, that’s truly worth everything, a life not lived in vain.
This saying, although slightly amusing, is indeed true.
In life...
Especially for men, living is all about face.
Dad worked diligently all his life, and although he didn’t earn much money, he put me through college, bought me a house, found me a wife, helped pay for my wife’s medical treatment, and was with me through the hardest and toughest times...
In Huang Tao’s heart, his dad is the most amazing.
From a young age, he often heard his dad talking about wanting to buy a car, but even though he talked about it often, he never took action.
It’s not that he couldn’t afford it, but a car is just a means of transport, unlike a house that appreciates in value.
Therefore, he felt that savings were more useful, could be used by his son later for buying a house and getting married, and even for coping with unexpected changes that might happen in the family.
All of this blended into the responsibility he felt for his family.
Moreover, when Huang Tao grew up and got married, his dad used most of his life’s savings to buy a house, to hold a wedding for Huang Tao.
And with that, the savings got depleted.
So now that Huang Tao is making money, he’s thinking about buying a car for his dad, fulfilling his dad’s dream.
"Daddy, what’s that thing?"
Xuanxuan tugged at him, her other small hand pointing to the emblem at the front of the car, asking curiously.
"It’s the Mercedes emblem."
Huang Tao explained with a smile, "It’s the logo of the car."
"Oh~"
Xuanxuan blinked her big pretty eyes and asked puzzledly, "Then why is it there?"
Why is it there?
Probably... just for show-off purposes!
He recalled seeing a friend on social media posting a picture, saying there was a traffic jam again.
But in that picture, one could easily see the prominent Mercedes emblem on the car front.
An astute observer would know, this is someone who bought a luxury car and wants others to know, but doesn’t want to flaunt it blatantly, so they use this discreet method to let others know they bought a luxury car.
Of course, he couldn’t tell Xuanxuan it’s for showing off.
After all, the little one is too young to understand.
Huang Tao reached out to rub Xuanxuan’s little head, and with a smile said, "Daddy’s not exactly sure, probably so everyone can recognize what kind of car it is at a glance!"
"Oh~"
Xuanxuan nodded, feeling that what daddy said made sense.
Huang Tao, holding onto the car door, asked his dad, "Dad, do you want to look at other models?"
Huang Yide chuckled happily, "No need, this one’s good enough, let’s go with this!"
"Alright, then this it is."
Huang Tao respected his dad’s choice, he smiled and looked at Gao Lu, "How much is this car?"
Gao Lu respectfully replied, "Mr. Huang, the list price for this car is 499,800 yuan."
Huang Yide exclaimed in surprise, "Ah... that’s too expensive."
"There are discounts."
Gao Lu gestured with her hand, "Let’s sit over there and discuss."
Huang Tao’s family was invited to the seating area, where Gao Lu served them tea and candies, then took out paper and pen to calculate the price.
With Song Cailian using all her wits, bargaining with Gao Lu, putting on a posture as if not getting the best deal would not do.
Huang Yide didn’t stay idle either, joining in to "attack" Gao Lu.
In the end...
A discount of 25,000 was given, plus free maintenance, a full set of car films, and a set of floor mats.
Huang Tao opted for the top configuration, the final on-road price came to 575,000.
While Gao Lu suggested installment payments, Huang Tao paid in full.
Huang Tao asked with a smile, "May I ask when can we pick up the car?"
Gao Lu gave a charming smile, showing a bit of difficulty, "The earliest would be around the 2nd of next month."
Considering that his dad hasn’t passed the driving test yet, there’s no rush.
As long as it’s before the Chinese New Year, he had no objections.
Subsequently, the two parties signed the purchase agreement, and a symbolic deposit of 10,000 yuan was paid.
Then they were respectfully shown out of the dealership by Gao Lu.
Walking out the dealership, Huang Yide still had a surreal feeling.
So the car...
Is settled just like that?
In about a month’s time, he could really own this luxury Benz.
Better remind the instructor to try and get the license by the end of this month.
Huang Tao urged, "Dad, let’s go, time to head home."
"How about we eat something before heading back? A little celebration."
Huang Yide happily said, "This meal is on me."
Xuanxuan, with arched brows and eyes, reminded him, "Grandpa, food outside isn’t as tasty as daddy’s cooking!"
That’s right!
After eating his son’s cooking, nothing outside can compare!
Huang Yide laughing, "Xuanxuan is right, then we’ll eat at home!"
"Let’s go home~"
