Chen Zhao finally received his driver’s license. It was fairly easy to get one in the states.
He had been practicing in the driving school for more than fifty hours to meet the course requirement. Apart from that, he was really a novice driver.
The driving course was charged on an hourly basis, with the rate being a few dollars per hour.
Hiring a coach in the driving school would cost twenty dollars per hour. Of course, one could also choose to learn from any adult who had a driver’s license.
However, driving schools are mostly very materialistic. The more money you give them, the easier it will be for you to get your license.
Moreover, since Chen Zhao only had a green card, it might even take longer.
This could be anywhere between a month and half a year.
He also had a written examination, which he passed on the first attempt.
Actually, Chen Zhao had spent more time getting a road test. It was only his turn on the fifth day. He similarly passed it on the first try.
After waiting for a week, he received his license.
The first thing that came to his mind was to buy a car.
“David, are you free?”
“Why?”
“I want to buy a car.”
“Okay. Where are you now?”
Soon, David came to fetch Chen Zhao.
“Chen, what kind of car do you want to get?”
“I want to buy one for Fali first. Her car is too old. What kind of car should I give her?”
“How much do you plan to spend?”
“As long as it’s not a few million dollars, I would say,” Chen Zhao replied.
Cars in America were considerably cheap. David was clearly more professional than Normans in this field.
At least, he would recommend a rough-looking SUV to Chen Zhao. David suggested getting a sports car, which had a more feminine shape and appearance.
He told Chen Zhao about various sports cars ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands in cost.
David was probably a car fan. While he might not be that professional, he was able to briefly analyze the advantages and disadvantages of various models based on their emission systems, motors and performances.
“The very expensive models, even if you can afford them, do not suit Fali. Fali is a coastal lifeguard, so it may be somewhat awkward for her to drive a car that costs more than a million. I suggest getting one that’s between two hundred to three hundred thousand dollars.”
Cars which cost that much were already very high-class.
In fact, cars that cost more than thirty thousand could already be considered as somewhat luxurious. Despite so, Chen Zhao felt that those cars were too ordinary for Fali.
Chen Zhao was kind of an upstart. He thought that since he was going to give Fali a car, he should of course choose an excellent one.
He also found the price of two to three hundred thousand quite reasonable.
“I recommend Aston Martin DB11 AMR, newest edition 2018.”
Chen Zhao used the internet to obtain photos of the model, as well as its official description. It could cost as low as 180 thousand, and no more than 250 thousand even with the highest specs.
Chen Zhao really liked the model and its price.
As for the car’s performance, he could not understand anything.
Nevertheless, since it was recommended by David, it was probably great.
“I’ll get this one.” Chen Zhao made his decision.
“Shall we go to the store and take a look?”
“Okay.”
…
Chen Zhao walked into the Aston Martin store. It was huge, with more than ten different models on exhibit in the hall. Behind the store, there was also a giant test track.
When Chen Zhao and David walked into the shop, a tall lady in business attire quickly approached them.
“Hi, I’m Palis. How can I help you?”
“We want to try the DB11 AMR. Do you have one here?”
“Of course.” Palis’ eyes glowed. “May I know which of you wishes to buy the car?”
“It’s me…”
“We need to take a look first,” David interrupted Chen Zhao.
Palis looked at Chen Zhao, her eyes glittering with passion.
Since Chen Zhao was considering buying the DB11 AMR, he had to be very rich.
“What drink would you like to have?”
“Just iced water.”
“Me too.”
After Palis gave them a cup of iced water each, she brought the two before the exhibited DB11 AMR.
Then, she started to describe its various performances and functions endlessly. As the purchaser, Chen Zhao was soon completely lost, while David listened to her attentively, occasionally asking a question.
“We would like to go in and try it ourselves.”
“Sure.”
Chen Zhao sat on the front passenger seat, while David sat in the driver’s seat.
To be honest, Chen Zhao did not have a solid concept about cars. A ten thousand car and a hundred thousand car were both tools for him to travel.
David was different. Buying a good car was almost a dream for him.
After they left the car, Chen Zhao asked, “Do you have a red one here?”
“Do you want a red one? Excuse me for my bluntness, but I think that silver gray or blue suits you more.”
“I’m giving it to my girlfriend. She likes red.”
Palis could feel her body burning with envy. Why couldn’t she get such an outstanding boyfriend too?
Her own boyfriend only knew how to eat and sleep at home. He dreamed about becoming a huge star everyday, but could only get small, almost insignificant, roles. Palis really wanted to drag Chen Zhao into the restroom immediately.
“We indeed have a red one, but it has the highest specs.”
“Okay, how much is it?”
“250 thousand. We can help you in loaning and insurance. The total cost will be around 259 thousand.”
“You can skip the loaning part.”
“Excuse me?”
“I’ll pay the full amount,” Chen Zhao said.
Palis nodded gently, “Then please follow me for the formalities.”
“Mr. Chen, this is my name card. If you need anything, you can call me anytime. I’m at your service 24
/7.”
Chen Zhao could understand the hidden meaning in the sentence. Smiling, he took the name card. “Thank you.”
He had stopped messing with other women. If it was in the past, he would definitely not let this high-quality lady off.
After paying the full price, Palis only had to handle the insurance for Chen Zhao. The whole procedure took less than twenty minutes.
Before long, Chen Zhao and David left in the car. Palis stared at Chen Zhao’s back with much resentment.
David could not afford such a car, so he enjoyed himself in Chen Zhao’s car.
“Oh yeah. I need to buy another car for myself,” Chen Zhao said.
“What? Another one?”
“I told you that this car’s for Fali.”
“How much do you plan to spend for your own car?”
“I’m getting an SUV. I only need it to be big enough.”
“Do you not have any other requirements?”
“No.” Chen Zhao’s requirement was easily satisfied by most SUVs.
Chen Zhao bought a Ford SUV which cost twenty thousand, after which he asked David to drive the car back to his house.
Now, Chen Zhao had to send the Aston Martin DB11 AMR to Fali.
