#13 - Chapter 13 Taking Lin Xiaoqian to Buy a Car
“Ding——”
The bank card SMS reminder sounded.
Tongxin.com's 300,000 signing bonus was quickly transferred to Lin Chen's card.
This money still needs to be taxed, but there is no need to pay it now. The tax can be supplemented on the individual income tax APP during the annual settlement.
“That was quite fast.”
A faint smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.
He earned tens of thousands of yuan from translation, plus the 300,000 signing bonus, so buying a car worth 300,000 yuan is no problem.
After some time, he will have more money and can buy a better car, but a car worth 300,000 yuan already meets his needs.
Cars at the 300,000 level have very good safety and configuration. Going higher mainly improves the image.
“What car should I buy?”
Lin Chen muttered to himself.
If it were just him alone, he would prefer an electric car, which is fast and fun to drive, but there is also Lin Xiaoqian. The safety of electric cars still needs some time to be tested.
“Let’s go with Volvo.”
After searching online for a while, Lin Chen decided to buy a Volvo XC60. The price is right, and Volvo's safety is also good. He doesn't have much pursuit of brands.
Moreover, at the 300,000 level, it’s just a grocery shopping car. Buying a BBA won't make others think highly of him.
He doesn't need a car to show off.
He has the Daddy System. If he takes good care of Lin Xiaoqian, he will be invincible.
“Wuwu——”
Lin Xiaoqian's crying sounded from the master bedroom.
Lin Chen quickly went into the master bedroom.
“Xiaoqian, Daddy is here. Why are you crying?”
Lin Chen quickly hugged Lin Xiaoqian and asked.
He stretched out his hand, and it was wet.
Lin Xiaoqian said with tears in her eyes: “Daddy, I wet my pants. I'm not a good baby anymore, wuwu——”
Lin Chen quickly coaxed her: “Xiaoqian, who said that? It's normal for children like you to wet your pants occasionally. Some children still wet their pants at five or six years old.”
“Daddy will change you, and you’ll be fine.”
Lin Xiaoqian said pitifully: “Daddy, really? The nanny said that if you wet your pants, you are not a good child.”
Lin Chen frowned secretly.
Xiaoqian's nanny certainly doesn't want to work too hard, but Xiaoqian, such a young child, will definitely still wet the bed.
“Xiaoqian, what Daddy said is of course true. Your nanny may have taken care of older children before, so she doesn't understand. Our Xiaoqian is only two years old now.”
Lin Chen kissed Lin Xiaoqian.
Soon Lin Chen wiped her clean and changed her clothes.
The sheets naturally had to be washed as well.
But this was not too troublesome. The washing machine is a washing and drying all-in-one, so the sheets will be clean when they are put in.
“Daddy, you worked hard.”
“Give you a kiss!”
Lin Xiaoqian kissed Lin Chen on both cheeks.
“Xiaoqian, we’ll go buy a car this afternoon.”
Lin Chen said with a smile.
Lin Xiaoqian shook her head: “Daddy, I don’t like cars. I like cloth dolls. Daddy, let’s buy cloth dolls, okay?”
Lin Chen scratched Xiaoqian's little nose.
“Daddy is not talking about a small car, but a big car. We need to take a taxi to the amusement park and other places, which is a bit inconvenient. And there are no safety seats in the taxis.”
“Daddy, Mommy has three big cars. We can drive Mommy’s big cars. Mommy said we should share.”
Lin Xiaoqian said with some confusion.
Her little head couldn't figure out why Mommy has cars, and even has three cars, so why does Daddy still want to buy one?
“Mommy has three cars?”
Lin Xiaoqian nodded: “One car is very short, one is very long, and one car is very tall. I often sit in the tall car, and I have also sat in the long car, but not the short car.”
Lin Chen guessed that the short car Xiaoqian was talking about was a sports car.
Sports cars simply cannot take Lin Xiaoqian.
“Qianqian, Mommy likes different cars than Daddy. Go put on your little shoes, and we'll set off.”
Lin Chen said with a smile.
Half an hour later, Lin Chen arrived at the 4S store, looked at the actual car, and Xiaoqian liked it, so Lin Chen bought it directly.
The car was in stock, and he could drive it away after printing a temporary license plate.
“Xiaoqian, Daddy has to drive in the front, so you sit obediently in the safety seat, or it will be dangerous.”
Lin Chen put Lin Xiaoqian into the safety seat.
Now the car market is not good, and car prices are cheap, so the store gave this good-quality safety seat as a gift.
“Daddy, Qianqian is the most obedient.”
Lin Xiaoqian said in a childish voice.
“Mr. Lin, your daughter is so cute. I wish I had a daughter. My wife gave me twin sons.”
The sales guy said with a look of envy.
Lin Chen said with a smile: “Try again, maybe God will send you a daughter in the third child.”
The sales guy shook his head helplessly: “Two sons are already killing me. What if I have another son?”
“Mr. Lin, contact me anytime if you have any questions.”
Lin Chen nodded, got in the car, and drove away steadily.
“System, can I improve my driving skills by driving like this?”
Lin Chen asked in his mind.
The system said: “Host, of course you can. Accumulate ten hours to reach the Grandmaster level, twenty hours to reach the Great Grandmaster level.”
“Forty hours to reach the Legendary level, eighty hours to reach the Mythical level.”
Lin Chen asked: “What happens after reaching the Mythical level?”
He often needs to drive when going out, and accumulating eighty hours is not difficult.
The system said: “Host, different skills have different limits. The limit for improving driving skills is one hundred hours. After one hundred hours, your driving skills will no longer improve.”
“Okay.”
Lin Chen was quite satisfied.
In twenty hours, he can reach the Great Grandmaster level. The most powerful car god on the entire earth is only at the Great Grandmaster level.
His driving skills will improve for one hundred hours.
When he finishes improving, car gods will be trash in front of him.
“Daddy, where are we going?”
Lin Xiaoqian, who was sitting obediently in the back, asked.
Lin Chen said with a smile: “Xiaoqian, we are going to the supermarket. Now that we have a car, we can buy things that were inconvenient to buy before. Think about what you want to buy.”
“Okay, okay.”
Lin Xiaoqian said obediently.
Entering the supermarket, Lin Xiaoqian sat in the shopping cart, and Lin Chen pushed her forward. Lin Xiaoqian looked here and there.
Before long, Lin Chen filled half of the shopping cart.
“Beep beep!”
Lin Chen's phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was his mother, Chen Mei, calling.
“It’s time to tell the family.”
Lin Chen muttered to himself.
Although the house is still rented, he has changed the house, so even if his parents come to Shanghai, there is a place to live.
He has also changed the car now. When his parents come over, he can take his parents and Lin Xiaoqian out for a walk.
Soon Lin Chen answered the phone.
Chen Mei said on the other end of the phone: “Son, are you unemployed now?”
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow: “Mom, did Zhou Wei tell the family?”
Zhou Wei is from the same village as him. He is in the same company but a different department. He was laid off, but Zhou Wei was not.
“Yes.”
“He called home and said you were laid off. His mother just came over and sat for a while, ostensibly to care about you, but actually to say that her son is more capable.”
Chen Mei said.
Lin Chen shook his head secretly.
This phenomenon is normal in rural areas. Some rural people are very simple, but there are also many gossipy women in the countryside.
“Mom, let’s just live our own lives well.”
Chen Mei said: “Okay… Son, now that you have lost your job, do you still have any money? If you don’t have money, Mom will transfer you some.”
