Thanks to Boss Wang for the Little Car
Early the next morning, Fu Yanzhi got out of bed and stretched. He was going to buy a car with Zheng Long today. His little brothers would be starting school soon, and having a car would make things a little more convenient.
Fu Yanzhi went downstairs to find breakfast already laid out on the table, while Zheng Long was still busy frying eggs in the kitchen.
Fu Yanzhi walked over to the table and picked up a slice of bread, then went over to Zheng Long and said with a smile, "Brother Long, why are you up so early? Is your hand any better?"
After putting the fried eggs on a plate, Zheng Long said, "It's fine, boss. I usually get up early anyway, and my hand is pretty much healed now. Thanks for worrying about me."
Fu Yanzhi patted Zheng Long on the shoulder. "Come on, let's eat first. Come with me to look at cars later. You can drive, right, Brother Long?"
Zheng Long nodded. "I can drive, boss."
Fu Yanzhi headed upstairs, saying, "You eat first. I'll go upstairs and wake them for breakfast."
Fu Yanzhi first knocked on Li Huanhuan's door, then went inside and saw a hilarious sight. Li Huanhuan had his whole body and both legs draped over Feng Yunxiao, and he'd even put Feng Yunxiao's hand in his mouth. Feng Yunxiao was visibly uncomfortable.
Fu Yanzhi laughed and pulled out his phone to take a picture, then woke Li Huanhuan. Li Huanhuan rubbed his eyes and said to his eldest brother, "Eldest Brother, I was so tired sleeping last night."
Fu Yanzhi smiled. "Xiaoxiao didn't sleep well last night either, did he?"
Feng Yunxiao said in distress, "Eldest Brother, I dreamed last night that an octopus had tied me up and was going to eat me. I felt like my hand had already been eaten."
Fu Yanzhi laughed out loud. "Xiaoxiao, let me show you the octopus you dreamed about last night."
Feng Yunxiao moved closer to Fu Yanzhi. Hearing about an octopus, Li Huanhuan perked up and crowded over too. The three of them looked at the phone, and sure enough, Li Huanhuan was wrapped around Feng Yunxiao just like an octopus.
Li Huanhuan's face turned red all the way to his ears. "Oh no, how could I do that? I didn't mean to."
Feng Yunxiao couldn't help laughing when he saw the picture. "So you were the octopus."
Fu Yanzhi smiled. "All right, all right, hurry up and wash up, then come downstairs for breakfast."
Fu Yanzhi went to wake Xingxing and Yueyue next. After waking them, he was just about to call Bo Qing when Bo Qing opened his door and came out. Wen Shiming also emerged from his room with a bird's nest for hair.
Everyone went downstairs and ate together. During breakfast, Fu Yanzhi sent the photo of Li Huanhuan's sleeping position from the previous night to the family group chat. Everyone burst out laughing after seeing it.
Wen Shiming said cheekily, "Huanhuan, were you craving meat? Why else would you have been hugging Xiaoxiao's hand and gnawing on it last night?"
"No, I wasn't craving meat. I didn't mean to," Li Huanhuan said, blushing.
Bo Qing smiled and said, "It's okay, baby. Second Brother will buy you meat tonight, so don't hug your fourth brother and gnaw on him tonight, okay?"
Li Huanhuan nodded when he heard there would be meat that evening. Bo Qing then looked at Feng Yunxiao, who was eating bread, and said, "Xiaoxiao, if you're uncomfortable sleeping with Huanhuan at night, why don't you come sleep with Second Brother instead?"
Feng Yunxiao thought for a while, then shook his head. "I'd better not disturb you, Second Brother. I sleep quite well with Huanhuan."
Kong Fanxing, who hadn't said a word, was now so sleepy he was about to fall asleep while eating his bread, his head constantly nodding against the table. Fu Yanzhi found the sight very funny.
Fu Yanzhi suddenly remembered something and said, "Brother Long and I are going out to buy a car today. We can take two of you kids with us."
At the mention of going out, Kong Fanxing's eyes flew open. "Eldest Brother, take me out to play! I'm the best behaved."
Fu Yanzhi glanced at Kong Fanxing, then at the others, and said helplessly, "You six little ones can decide with rock-paper-scissors."
Bo Qing and Wen Shiming decided not to participate, so only four little ones were left. Fu Yanzhi was about to announce the start when Kong Fanxing called for a pause. Fu Yanzhi watched Kong Fanxing pull a handkerchief from his pocket, then say they could begin.
Seeing Xingxing take out a handkerchief, Li Huanhuan was sure he would play paper. As long as he played scissors, he would definitely win.
After seeing Xingxing take out the handkerchief, Feng Yunxiao also felt that Xingxing was still little. He wanted to go out with Eldest Brother, so he had to win. Sorry, Xingxing.
When Kong Fanyue saw his younger brother use the handkerchief, he didn't want him to lose, so he chose rock to let him win.
At Fu Yanzhi's command, the four little ones played at the same time, but the result made everyone's jaws drop. Xingxing and Yueyue won. Both of them had played rock, while Xiaoxiao and Huanhuan had played scissors.
Li Huanhuan and Feng Yunxiao stared in disbelief. Li Huanhuan stamped his foot. "How could this happen? I was sure Xingxing would play paper!"
Feng Yunxiao was also quite annoyed. "I thought Xingxing would play paper too."
Kong Fanxing waved the handkerchief smugly. "Hehe, I knew you'd think that. I took out the handkerchief on purpose to mislead you."
Kong Fanyue smiled sweetly beside him, very happy about his younger brother's victory.
Fu Yanzhi shook his head with a smile. "All right, now that the result's decided, Xingxing and Yueyue will come out with Brother Long and me later. Huanhuan, Xiaoxiao, be good at home."
Li Huanhuan was a little disappointed, but he nodded. "Okay, Eldest Brother. I'll wait at home for you to come back."
Feng Yunxiao also said, "Eldest Brother, hurry back."
After everyone finished eating, Fu Yanzhi and Zheng Long took Kong Fanxing and Kong Fanyue out. Li Huanhuan and Feng Yunxiao, who had stayed home, began discussing what to do there.
Li Huanhuan's eyes lit up. "How about we make a cake together and surprise Eldest Brother and the others when they come back?"
Feng Yunxiao nodded, and Li Huanhuan looked at Bo Qing and Wen Shiming and said, "Please, Second Brother, Third Brother?"
Bo Qing and Wen Shiming nodded with smiles. "All right, we'll do as Huanhuan says."
After hailing a car, Fu Yanzhi and the others set off for the car dealership.
When they arrived, the dazzling variety of cars left them spoiled for choice. Fu Yanzhi stopped in front of an SUV and ran a hand over it. "This car is spacious. We'll all be able to fit when we go out in the future."
Zheng Long explained the vehicle's performance from the side, while Kong Fanxing chattered away, offering his opinions. Kong Fanyue simply studied the car in front of him attentively.
Just then, a salesperson walked over and said to Zheng Long, "Good morning, sir. May I ask what you're looking for in a car? Tell me what you need, and I can help you find one."
Zheng Long scratched his head awkwardly. "You can ask my boss."
The salesperson looked at the person Zheng Long had pointed to, surprised that his boss was so young. He smiled politely at Fu Yanzhi and asked, "What are you looking for in a car, boss?"
Fu Yanzhi smiled. "I want an eight-seater. I have a big family."
The salesperson smiled. "Then please come this way, boss. You can take a look at this eight-seater. Whether it's a family outing or entertaining business guests, it can handle the occasion with ease."
The salesperson continued, "Take a look at the space. The three rows of seats are laid out very neatly. The individual seats in the first two rows have ventilation and heating, so they won't feel stuffy even on a long ride. Even an adult who's 1.8 meters tall would have two fists of room in front of their knees in the third row, so it's not cramped at all. The aisle between the second-row seats is also wide enough for elderly people and children to get in and out of the third row easily, without the trouble of moving seats."
"As for practicality, the trunk can normally hold three 28-inch suitcases without a problem. Fold down the third row, and you can fit camping equipment, a stroller, or even a small bicycle. You won't have to worry about luggage for a short family trip."
"Would you like to sit in the third row and try it out? I can also demonstrate how to adjust the seats and use the trunk flexibly. You'll see for yourself how convenient it is!"
Fu Yanzhi and Zheng Long examined it and nodded, feeling it was pretty good. Fu Yanzhi then asked, "How much is this car?"
The salesperson smiled. "Boss, this Land Rover Range Rover is on sale right now. It's only 990,000 yuan. It used to sell for 1.2 million."
Fu Yanzhi thought it over. He only had a little over 300,000 yuan left, which wasn't enough to buy the car.
While Fu Yanzhi was still wondering what to do, a voice rang out. "Xiao Zhang, stop bothering with that pauper. Boss Wang is here. Hurry up and attend to him."
Fu Yanzhi was stunned at being called a pauper. He hadn't expected to be insulted like that.
He turned to see a potbellied man in an expensive suit approaching, surrounded by a crowd. Xiao Zhang immediately went to greet him, nodding and bowing.
Kong Fanxing rushed forward angrily. "How can you insult people?"
Boss Wang glanced at Kong Fanxing disdainfully. "What do you know, brat? People like you want to buy a car? Get lost. You're just here to mooch off the air conditioning."
With that, he gave Kong Fanxing a shove, sending him straight to the floor. When Kong Fanyue saw his younger brother pushed down, he immediately rushed over to shield Kong Fanxing and glared at Boss Wang.
Fu Yanzhi's face darkened. He strode up to Boss Wang and said coldly, "You dare lay a hand on my little brother?"
Boss Wang snorted contemptuously. "Oh, you dare stand up for him? Do you even have the money to buy a car? And here you are, putting on airs."
Zheng Long had wanted to step forward and help his boss, but judging by the look in his boss's eyes, it seemed he didn't need help. He picked up Kong Fanxing and Kong Fanyue and took them aside, keeping them safe beside him. He left the rest to his boss.
Fu Yanzhi said nothing. Instead, he kicked Boss Wang straight in the stomach, sending him flying backward several meters before he landed in a sorry heap on the floor.
Seeing this, the group Boss Wang had brought immediately surrounded Fu Yanzhi, intending to attack him. Fu Yanzhi's gaze was icy. Without a trace of fear, he took a stance, ready to fight.
Just as both sides were on the verge of coming to blows, the dealership manager hurried over. "Everybody stop! What's going on here?"
The manager shouted. Boss Wang clutched his stomach and scrambled to his feet, then pointed at Fu Yanzhi. "Manager, this man is causing trouble and hitting people. You have to throw him out!"
Fu Yanzhi sneered. "That damn fatty insulted my little brother first and pushed him. I was only acting in self-defense."
The manager looked at both sides and learned what had happened, then formed his judgment. He said to Boss Wang, "Mr. Wang, no matter what, it's wrong to use violence on our premises. Besides, this gentleman is a potential customer. Your behavior was very rude."
Boss Wang grew even angrier. "I'm a major customer who often buys cars here, and you're actually taking his side?"
The manager said, neither servile nor overbearing, "Mr. Wang, we treat every customer fairly here. If you keep making a scene like this, you won't be welcome either."
Boss Wang said furiously, "Just you wait. I'll call your boss right now and have them fire the lot of you."
Boss Wang pulled his phone out of his pocket and made a call. After saying a couple of things, he hung up.
Boss Wang raised his head arrogantly. "Just wait. Your boss will be here soon."
Before long, a car stopped at the entrance. A woman stormed inside and said loudly, "Who's causing trouble on my turf?"
The woman's voice sounded very familiar to Fu Yanzhi. At that moment, Boss Wang pointed at Fu Yanzhi and said, "Boss Xiao, they're the ones who came here to cause trouble, and he even beat me."
Fu Yanzhi looked up and laughed on the spot. He hadn't expected Xiao Yuelan to be the owner here.
Xiao Yuelan glanced at Fu Yanzhi, the person causing trouble, and said with a smile, "Little Brother Xiaozhi, you really are naughty. First you caused a commotion at my fighting arena, and now you've come here to do it again?"
The manager beside them recounted what had happened. After hearing him out, Xiao Yuelan flew into a rage. "You damn pighead, who gave you the courage to come to my place and throw your weight around?"
Hearing Xiao Yuelan's words, Boss Wang panicked at once. "Boss Xiao, I... I didn't know you knew him."
Xiao Yuelan snorted coldly. "Now you're scared? You ran wild at my place, insulted my guest, and even wanted me to fire my employees. Who do you think you are?"
Terrified, Boss Wang dropped to his knees with a thud. "Boss Xiao, I was wrong. Please be magnanimous and spare me this once."
Xiao Yuelan smiled. "You've offended my little brother, and now you want to pretend nothing happened? Do you think that's possible, Boss Wang?"
Boss Wang pulled a card out of his pocket and said, "Boss Xiao, there's 500,000 yuan on this card. Please accept it as an apology to your little brother."
Xiao Yuelan smiled. "Not bad. Since Boss Wang seems quite sincere, I'll forgive you on my little brother's behalf. Get lost."
As if granted a great pardon, Boss Wang scrambled and crawled his way out.
Xiao Yuelan walked over to Fu Yanzhi and said with a smile, "Little Brother Xiaozhi, which car caught your eye? I'll give it to you."
Fu Yanzhi pointed at the Land Rover Range Rover. "I was going to choose this one, but I was a little short."
Xiao Yuelan raised an eyebrow and smiled. "You're not short anymore. Boss Wang is footing the bill for you. Drive this car away, Little Brother Xiaozhi."
Fu Yanzhi said a little sheepishly, "Sister Xiao, you're making me feel a little embarrassed."
Xiao Yuelan patted him on the shoulder. "Why stand on ceremony with me? It's settled."
Fu Yanzhi nodded gratefully. "Thank you, Sister."
Kong Fanxing also smiled and said, "Thank you, pretty Sister. You're so nice." Kong Fanyue said thank you from the side as well.
Xiao Yuelan smiled and picked up Kong Fanyue and Kong Fanxing. "You want to thank me? Then how about showing it with a little action? Give me a kiss."
Kong Fanxing and Kong Fanyue obediently kissed Xiao Yuelan on the cheeks, making her smile even more happily. "Good boys. If there's anything you want in the future, just tell me."
Afterward, Xiao Yuelan arranged for the staff to quickly handle the purchase paperwork for the Land Rover Range Rover. Fu Yanzhi and the others soon received the car keys.
Zheng Long drove the new car away from the dealership with Fu Yanzhi, Kong Fanxing, and Kong Fanyue aboard.
All the way home, Kong Fanxing chattered excitedly in the back seat. "Eldest Brother, this new car really is comfortable to ride in."
Kong Fanyue also looked at the car's interior with eyes full of curiosity.
