Translator:EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor:EndlessFantasy Translation
The middle-aged man was stunned for quite a long time as he watched the SUV drove out of the lot slowly. He shouted while chasing after it aggressively all of a sudden, Wait, wait, young man, you havent told my employee number to the sales manager. You dont have to spend a single cent you dont have to spend a cent on my commission. As long as you tell them my employee number Tell Tell them my Oh Oh my god, Im such an idiot. Im such a f*cking idiot, I dont even have money to buy a turkey for Christmas Eve and I let 4,000 dollars flew away just like that
As the middle-aged man was groaning and panting at the side of the road, Zhang Lisheng who took the wrong turn was driving his Explorer on New Yorks bustling Dolby Avenue carefully.As he took a big round driving at 30 miles per hour, he spent exactly an hour to finally get home.
A few minutes later, Lili who was wondering what kind of car her independent son would buy had her jaw dropped when she saw the Explorer, You You bought a brand new 7-seater SUV! Didnt you say that youre only left with 5,000 dollars in your account? Dont tell me this car only costs a few thousand dollars?
Mom, this isnt new. Its a secondhand car of two and a half years, of course, I cant get such a car with a few thousand dollars. Christmas is coming so my slaughterhouses making money. I have over 30,000 dollars of idle funds with me so
Youre saying that you made over 30,000 dollars in less than a month at the slaughterhouse that you bought with 100,000 dollars?
Yes, I changed the business model and improved production efficiency. Kaiserland Towns National Farmers Unions asking me to be their chairman now, Zhang Lisheng blabbered. In reality, without his wizard worm eating those animals organs and blood, the money spent on handling those ecological waste alone would take more than 80% of his profit.
Lili was stunned with her mouth opened for a moment, Wow, what youve done made me made me speechless. Im proud of you baby but this cars too big, its hard to park it in our garage
Dont worry mom, Ive rented a specific parking spot at the parking lot at the back street. You know, it only takes five minutes walk to get there, its almost as convenient as parking it at home.
Oh, Ive gotten used to you handling everything for yourself baby. Go park your car at the parking lot then. Although I know youll definitely not do such stupid thing, but I must remind you to not show-off your car to Randy. He would go crazy from jealousy, Lili sighed and said to her son who looked more and more unfamiliar to her. She had no idea that his independence was Zhang Lishengs real character trained from living in Guawo Village for more than ten years. The sweet son that she saw last time was the false image that Zhang Lisheng showed from the tremendous change in his life when he first met his mother.
Zhang Lisheng nodded while smiling and went into the Explorer as he turned around. He then started the engine and drove to the parking lot. Beep beep, his phone connected to his car via bluetooth began ringing all of a sudden. Zhang Lisheng picked up the call, Georges annoying voice echoed in the car, Buddy, Ive just finished work. Hows your car shopping going?
Ive bought a car.
Wow, thats fast. Youre so slick. Which one did you get? George asked excitedly.
Ford Explorer.
Oh. You know what Lisheng, your biggest characters that youll never surprise anyone. Only old people would drive a Ford, drink Blue Ribbon, watch basketball games and getting Christmas present from a big sock. Were young, dont you think we should have a more unique taste? Nevermind, having a cars better than nothing. Come pick me up at Dan Souza Butcher Shop, I booked us a date.
George, what do you mean you booked us a date?
I asked two girls out. One for you, one for me. Dont thank me, buddy. As an introverted young mans only friend, this is what I should do.
George, my plan todays to buy a car, have lunch with my mom, shop at a pet store in New York City for a pet and go to Kaiserland Town to look at my slaughterhouse
Listen, friend, I know youre a mysterious and unique high-schooler but no matter how mysterious or unique you are, youre a poor guy that people look down on if youre alone at the prom. By then, even if your moms the school principal, people would still bully and tease you. Thats the tradition of all American schools. Do you plan to depend on your family in everything you do or are you planning to you knowsettle those schoolmates who tease you, with your own way?
It was bad for a person with a secret to live without socializing. Zhang Lisheng fell into silence for a moment and said feeling irritated, I didnt have so much trouble when I was studying in China.
But youre in America now. Come, both of them are hot babes. If Lowbige isnt a school combining junior high and senior high, there wont be any babes who are dreaming of dating their seniors, agreeing to date us. Remember to bring your new car, Ive already told them that you have a car and were going to take a ride and have fun today
George, if youre thinking of taking a ride in -7 degree celsius, why dont you just bring them to Dan Souzas cold storage But okay, Ill be there, Zhang Lisheng hung up the phone and called Lili, he told her about going for a date.
Thats great, baby. Every high school boy would go to the prom with a girl, of course, mom hopes that you would do the same. Seems like youve gotten yourself a caring friend. Have fun dating, but please dont drink any alcohol.
I know that mom, Zhang Lisheng sat on the drivers seat and spoke loudly to the call connected to his car. He turned his car around slowly and drove to Dan Souza Butcher Shop on the street with little traffic. Outside the store, George stood by the street in the chilly wind wearing an old fashioned beanie. He was looking at the cars passing by without blinking.
Zhang Lisheng pulled over at the parking spot next to him and winded down the window. George seemed like he did not notice the sturdy 7-seater SUV and the skinny friend that he was familiar with, on the drivers seat. He was still looking around until Zhang Lisheng shouted at him, George, what are you looking at? Get in quick, George had just noticed that Zhang Lisheng was in the big car parked close to him.
He was stunned for a moment, he checked out the Explorer in surprise before getting into the car. Sitting on the passengers seat that was as comfortable as airline seat and touching the luxurious control panel with a big screen before him, he exclaimed, Oh! Oh my god, Lisheng, so this is the secondhand Ford that you bought!
Yes, is it different from what you imagined? I remembered telling you that Im planning to get a bigger car, didnt I?
Bigger car, sh*t, usually a 16-year-old high schooler meant getting a secondhand Ford Fiesta thats bigger than Volkswagen Beetle when they say they want a bigger car, not a 7-seater SUV thats even bigger than a bus! If I knew you would drive this, why would I talk so much to Lina and Hannah. I couldve Nevermind Lisheng, your weapon has exceeded my expectation. Perhaps we might have some reward today. Lets go! The destinations Lowbige Junior High. The two babes who were dating are finishing their holiday club activity and getting ready into our embrace
As George was shouting in excitement, Zhang Lisheng stepped on the accelerator and drove to Lowbige Junior High. At the moment, he regretted a little. He should not have been persuaded by George so easily that he was going to date a lady that he had never met and wasted his precious Saturday. However, since it had developed to this point, it was impossible for him to chase George out of the car now. All that he could do was to learn the lesson and to not make the same mistake. He would have to go along with the date now.
In the never-ending declaration George had for the Explorer, Zhang Lisheng arrived outside of Lowbige Junior High. He parked by the street, George said to him hastily, Wait for me here, Ill go get the ladies, He opened the door and hopped off, he then ran into the open-style school compound. Zhang Lisheng who was waiting alone in the car frowned as he thought to himself feeling bored. He turned on the computer on the cars control panel that was not merely a decoration and began browsing for popular pet stores in New York City. He was browsing what kind of insect pets they were selling.
Chameleons, lizards, geckoes, snakes, spiders, toads Realizing there was nothing that he was satisfied with after browsing for a while, he began looking for pet customization on the internet. He found a store that called themselves the Biggest Pet Store in New York, online and stated that they provided pet customization service. He then found the phone number on a website that had the nicest design and began calling.
Hello, this is Golden Crown Pet House. May I know what can I help you with?
Hi, I need a pet customization service. May I know if you guys have any poisonous snakes, insects or fierce reptiles?
Hearing Zhang Lishengs request, the polite lady voice became extremely rude as she responded coldly, Of course, but I think its better that you call the zoo or mental hospital, She hung up the phone.
