âErrand boy?â
Zhang Song exclaimed when he learned of Lin Yiâs job.
âBoss, what did you say? Errand boy? The type of errand boy who buys things for others?â
âThatâs right, thatâs the one.â
Zhang Songâs expression was a little unnatural. âBoss, when you were in school, you were the most promising student in the dorm. Why are you still doing this kind of service?â
âItâs mainly about freedom. Iâm enjoying it. Otherwise, I wouldnât have come to pick you up at this time.â
âI understand what you mean, but youâre a good person. No matter how bad the situation, you canât run errands for others.â Zhang Song had a bitter expression on his face. He didnât feel good about his bossâs unhappy life.
âDonât you have a Shari? Even if you drive for DiDi, itâs better than running errands.â
Lin Yi was gratified to see the anxious look on Zhang Songâs face. This guy hadnât changed at all.
âThe Shari is too shabby. Thereâs no way to register anymore, so I can only run errands.â Lin Yi said with a smile.
âAlthough itâs a little bitter, itâs better to have freedom. Itâs much better than sitting in an office.â
âFreedom is great for sure, but no matter what, itâs still a job that requires you to serve people.â Zhang Song said sadly.
âWith your ability, running errands is definitely a waste of talent. How about this? In any case, your hometown isnât Zhonghai, so it doesnât matter where you are. Why donât you come with me to Yanjing? The two of us can still look after each other when weâre together.â
âWhat are you talking about!â
Yue Jiao pulled Zhang Song over. âAre you crazy!?â
âWhat did I do?â
âThe two of us are already living in poverty in Yanjing. We even have to be careful when we go out to restaurants, yet you still want to bring him to Yanjing? Do you know how much this will affect us? I donât have that much spare money to take care of him!â
âBut heâs my boss. I have to help him if heâs in trouble!â
âHmph, let me put it this way. If you dare to bring him to Yanjing, we will break up. Think it over carefully!â
âThis...â
Zhang Song stopped talking because he didnât know what to say.
On one hand, Lin Yi was his brother, and on the other hand, this was his girlfriend. He had no choice.
âAlright, you donât have to worry about me.â Lin Yi said with a smile. âIâll be fine in Zhonghai. I wonât go to Yanjing.â
âThatâs more like it. Youâre quite perceptive,â Yue Jiao muttered.
âJiaojiao!â
At that moment, a shout came from behind Lin Yi and Zhang Song.
Lin Yi and Zhang Song turned around and saw a slightly chubby man running over.
He wasnât that tall, and looked a bit like Yue Jiao.
The manâs name was Yue Hai, Yue Jiaoâs brother.
âBro, what are you doing here?â Yue Jiao asked happily.
Lin Yi noticed that Zhang Song didnât seem to know this person.
It was pretty obvious from his expression.
âArenât you her boyfriend? You donât know your future brother-in-law yet?â
Zhang Song shook his head awkwardly. âWeâve only been together for half a year. Itâs not a long time, and I donât know much about their family.â
Lin Yi was speechless.
If it were Lin Yi, he would have done a special home run by now.
He didnât even know the other personâs relatives. That was messed up.
âMom said you were coming back today, so I came to pick you up,â Yue Hai said with a smile.
âYou were supposed to pick me up? What time is it? Youâre late.â
âYou donât know. Thereâs a new Bentley Continental parked outside. Itâs said to sell for more than four million dollars. I just watched it for a while. I wasnât paying attention, so I wasted some time.â
âBentley Continental? This car isnât very common in Yanjing,â Yue Jiao said.
âThatâs right. Otherwise, I wouldnât have wasted my time,â Yue Hai said.
âAnd not only is the car valuable, the license plate number is also awesome. Hu ANB888! Itâs like a package deal. Itâs really awesome.â
âHehe, I want to take a look later too. I want to take a few pictures.â
Lin Yi, â...â
No one would think that these two didnât come from the same family. They were obviously biological siblings.
The two chatted briefly, and Yue Hai looked at Zhang Song with a hint of arrogance.
âIs he your boyfriend?â
âYeah, heâs on a business trip this time, so I came back to visit too.â
Yue Hai sized up Zhang Song. âKid, Whatâs your annual salary?â
Facing his future brother-in-law, Zhang Song was a little nervous.
âIncluding the business trip allowance, I earn about 150,000 a year. But thereâs still a lot of room for improvement. I have opportunities to increase my salary in the future.â
âOnly 150,000 dollars?â Yue Hai frowned and said.
âThe housing prices in Yanjing are so expensive. With such a small amount of money, can you even buy a house?â
âThis...â
Zhang Song was at a loss for words. âIt might be a little difficult for the time being, but I will work hard.â
âHave you bought a car? Is it a domestic model or an imported one?â Yue Hai asked again.
âCar... I havenât bought a car yet.â
With his current income, it was actually no problem for him to buy a car.
However, with the money he earned, besides the rent, utilities, and money, he also had to support Yue Jiao.
Other than that, he also had to prepare presents and surprises for her. Her lifestyle was already above his income. If he didnât have a credit card, he might not even have been able to afford a plane ticket.
The matter of buying a car was still far away.
âNo way, you donât even have a car?â Yue Haiâs expression was one of displeasure, showing a strong sense of superiority.
âThe housing prices in Yanjing are not cheap. I can understand if you canât afford it, but you donât even have a car. Isnât this a joke? Whatâs the use of money? Youâre so young, yet you havenât even grasped the concept of saving money. How are you going to live in the future?â
âThe main reason is that Jiaojiao doesnât have a job. Itâs indeed a little difficult for my salary to support two people. So, the matter of buying a car...â
âWhat? Weâve only been together for a short while, and youâre already complaining that my sister doesnât earn money?â Yue Hai said with a cold face.
âSo the beloved daughter of our Yue family still has to suffer with you?â
âNo, no, no, I didnât mean that.â Zhang Song wiped his cold sweat and said,
âMaybe my salary is a little low, so I canât afford a car for the time being.â
âIt has nothing to do with the salary, youâre just brainless!â Yue Hai lectured.
âOur salaries are about the same. I bought a $200,000-plus Mustang in my third year at work, and I have a girlfriend too. Why can I do it but you cannot?â
âThis...â
âMy brother doesnât have a car, but I do. Itâs just a car. Is that important?â LIn Yi said,
âSo youâre saying that those people who take the bus and take the subway donât have to live anymore?â
Lin Yi initially didnât want to get involved in this.
However, his bro was only mature on the surface. Inside, he was still an honest man who wasnât good with words.
âItâs your business whether or not you have a car. What does it have to do with him?â
Yue Hai had seen Lin Yi a long time ago, but he didnât take him seriously.
âWe havenât seen each other for more than half a year. Iâm going to give him my car as a greeting gift.â Lin Yi said with a smile
âGive him your car as a greeting gift?â Yue Hai was stunned. Who was Zhang Songâs friend that he was going to give him a car?
Wasnât that a little too much?
âBro, donât listen to him. He just said it himself. His car is a Shari, and itâs so shabby that it doesnât even qualify him to drive for didi. Itâs not worth much at all. It might even be scrapped.â
âDamn, it turns out its just a Shari! I thought it was a Bentley.â
