"This one, I don't want it anymore, I'll give it to you!"
"And this one too, it's yours!"
"That one, just throw it away!"
Wang Yi watched Bai Yujing carefully picking and choosing, completely different from the way he couldn't bear to throw away even a broken nail before. He immediately said, "Why don't you just give me your graphics workstation and a few lenses while you're at it!"
Bai Yujing quickly replied, "No way, don't even think about it! When I bought this, I almost sold a kidney. This is my lifeline!"
The last items to take were packed into two boxes, which mainly contained books, a camera, a computer, and some sentimental items. Bai Yujing also made a shopping list for the necessary appliances and daily necessities they were missing, planning to go on a big shopping spree at the mall later.
Bai Yujing felt he still needed a car, so he took Wang Yi out immediately to sort that out. Wang Yi happened to have the day off and had nothing else to do. He originally planned to help Bai Yujing move but didn't expect that with just these few things, the move would be done in no time.
Wang Yi looked at Bai Yujing and said, "You managed to buy a house so quickly? In such a short time? The paperwork can't possibly be ready that fast."
"The documents should be ready by tomorrow. I've already paid the money, got the keys in hand, and everything inside is fully furnished. We can move in as soon as we bring our stuff," Bai Yujing said while sitting in Wang Yi's car, heading straight for the dealership.
Wang Yi nodded, "Then they must have expedited the process. Usually, it takes twenty days for the paperwork to come through. After all this time talking, you still haven't told me where your new house is."
"I'll take you there directly later," Bai Yujing said mysteriously.
Wang Yi immediately became annoyed: "Come on, stop being mysterious! I’m prepared for this; no matter how rich you are, don’t think you can surprise me."
Bai Yujing smiled, "You'll know when you see it."
When they arrived at the dealership, Bai Yujing and Wang Yi started looking around inside. Wang Yi asked, "So what kind of car are you planning to buy?"
"I'll probably be out running around often in the future, so I want something sturdy. Let's get an SUV."
A somewhat alluring female salesperson with light makeup approached: "Are you two handsome guys here to look at cars? Is there anything you like or are interested in? I can introduce you and arrange a test drive."
Wang Yi pointed at Bai Yujing: "Beautiful lady, he is the one looking to buy. He wants an SUV. What do you have here that you can recommend?"
The female salesperson, of course, knew that Bai Yujing was the main buyer; being in this line of work required her to read people well. Bai Yujing immediately said, "Just like he said, I need a sturdy and durable one. The price can be a bit higher."
The female salesperson nodded and quickly led Bai Yujing and Wang Yi to another part of the showroom: "How about this one? It's the latest model of the Volkswagen Tiguan, very popular this year, priced at 225,000. If you're interested, I can make it 220,000 for you and throw in a set of..."
Bai Yujing took a look and shook his head. The female salesperson showed him several more cars, but none seemed to satisfy him.
Xu Ying was the female salesperson promoting cars to Bai Yujing. When she first saw the two handsome guys walk in, she had even bet with her colleagues on whether they were really there to buy a car. She thought there was a slight chance they might be serious buyers, especially since one of them looked very energetic and had a unique charm that appealed to Xu Ying.
However, it seemed that these two were just browsing. As they continued looking around, Xu Ying began to feel a bit impatient and was ready to leave them to their window shopping. After all, young people often lacked money; it was usually the older ones who were more reliable.
Suddenly, Bai Yujing spotted a blue car on the other side with four rings on it. "Can I try this one?"
Xu Ying turned around and was surprised to see that Bai Yujing had chosen last year's model of the Range Rover Sport. Was she mistaken about him? However, she replied, "Of course! This Range Rover is last year's model of the Sport version, with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Among urban SUVs in the market, its off-road performance is unparalleled; no other vehicle can compete with it while ensuring maximum off-road capability and excellent highway performance."
Bai Yujing sat in and tried it out, finding that this car suited him quite well. The blue color made it look less dull; after all, he wasn't an old man in his seventies or eighties.
Looking at it more closely, Bai Yujing found himself liking it more and more: "This is the one. When can I pick it up?"
Both Wang Yi and Xu Ying were taken aback; they thought Bai Yujing was just browsing and didn't expect him to decide so quickly. Xu Ying was pleasantly surprised and immediately said, "The price for this car is 1,038,000. If you want it, I can make it 1,030,000 for you and also provide free registration along with..."
"Let's round it off to a whole number. Do you have any in stock? How long does it take to get the license plates?" Bai Yujing leaned against the car, feeling its power and presence along with its luxurious emblem; he couldn't help but like it more.
"Please wait a moment; I'll check with the manager. Don't worry; I'll definitely negotiate for the best deal for you," Xu Ying didn't expect Bai Yujing was serious about buying; her face lit up with joy as she spoke excitedly and quickly turned to leave.
Wang Yi immediately patted Bai Yujing's shoulder: "Old Bai, you can't be serious, can you? The final price adds up to over a million."
Bai Yujing nodded: "I can't worry about that much. I just like it, so I bought it!"
Wang Yi was somewhat speechless: "How much money did you make abroad? You didn't rob a bank, did you? I have to say, this car is indeed impressive. It's powerful; driving it feels exhilarating. But it's just too expensive."
Before long, Xu Ying ran back: "The manager said there's no problem. If you're in a hurry, you can pick up the car in two hours. We just happen to have stock in our other warehouse that can be brought over immediately. As for the license plates, it will take about half a month, and we will contact you then."
Bai Yujing took out his card. "Just the full payment will do!"
After signing the contract, they could return to pick up the car shortly. Bai Yujing took the somewhat excited Wang Yi to a nearby supermarket to purchase everything on their list at once since they would officially move into the new house today.
As they walked, Wang Yi said, "You can't really be like what they say online, right? When you found that box, there were other treasures inside too? A box that big couldn't possibly just contain a manuscript!"
"It's not as exaggerated as you think. There were some other things, but they were all worthless items. I sold the manuscript for three hundred thousand pounds and split it with Emma, along with some interview fees from the news." Bai Yujing honestly told Wang Yi.
Wang Yi nodded: "Oh, you should save some money and not spend extravagantly. Buying a house is fine, but cars depreciate as soon as you drive them off the lot. Just get something decent; there's no need for something so fancy. But that Land Rover is really nice; I've wanted to try one for a long time but didn't have the money. You must take me for a ride when you get it; it's good to show off a bit."
In the supermarket, Bai Yujing splurged and bought a 78-inch curved high-definition quantum dot TV and then a home theater system. He got enough appliances and some household items; that was about it. Anything else he might remember later could be purchased then.
When they returned to the dealership, Xu Ying came over enthusiastically. Buying a good car wasn't unusual for Wang Yi, but being young and wealthy while also handsome made Xu Ying feel differently.
When Bai Yujing was leaving, Xu Ying even slipped him a note. Bai Yujing was taken aback; he didn't expect to receive such treatment. Although he had no interest in that regard, he felt awkward throwing it away in front of her. Once he got into the car, he immediately tossed it into the glove compartment.
Wang Yi noticed right away and pulled it out, exclaiming loudly and making Bai Yujing annoyed: "Stop shouting! She gave it to you; you contact her."
"Someone else gave this to you; enjoy your good fortune! I'm a devoted man who only loves our Tangyuan," Wang Yi pretended to be extremely devoted, causing Bai Yujing to make a gagging gesture immediately.
When Bai Yujing arrived at his new house, Wang Yi was already stunned. Bai Yujing had opened the front door, while Wang Yi remained in the car, unable to get out.
Wang Yi got out of the car, clutching his chest. "Old Bai, are you sure you didn't go to the wrong place?"
Bai Yujing laughed heartily. "Didn't you say you were prepared and wouldn't be shocked?"
"You caught me completely off guard! This is a villa!"
After parking the car in the garage, Bai Yujing took the still incredulous Wang Yi on a tour of the villa. Wang Yi felt just like Bai Yujing had yesterday—everything felt a bit unreal.
"Let me calm down!" Wang Yi sat on the sofa in the living room, looking like Ge You in despair.
Suddenly, he jumped up. "Who are you? You can't be Old Bai! Old Bai isn't this extravagant and heartless. Come on, confess—who's wearing Old Bai's skin?"
Bai Yujing didn't want to talk to him and just gave him a dismissive look. "Stop lying around and come help me pack things. When the stuff arrives later, you'll need to help me organize it."
"So today you’re treating me like a laborer?"
"I'll treat you to a big dinner tonight!"
"It better be Pizza Hut!"
Bai Yujing was speechless at his good friend's antics.
