Chapter 12 : Cool Second-hand Car

But the boss's words, he had to listen, so he sighed, "Boss, may I ask, who exactly is this Mr. Ye?" Lu Chuanxin remained silent for two seconds and said lightly, "The person who saved my life!" Hou Gang no longer asked any more questions and quickly drove the car to the designated location. The meeting point was the courtyard of the Vehicle Administration Office. As soon as Ye Tian arrived, he dialed Hou Gang's phone and soon saw someone waving at him. Hou Gang, in his thirties, was one of Lu Chuanxin's capable subordinates. He was strong and quick-witted and had made great contributions to the Jin Yu Group. At this moment, Hou Gang had a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Ye, I am Hou Gang. You can call me Xiao Hou." Ye Tian nodded, "Hello, General Hou. Lu General said you want to sell a car?" Hou Gang's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it and smiled, "Yes, yes, I bought a car last year and haven't driven it. I'm anxious to sell it." Then he pointed to the nearby BMW 7 Series. Ye Tian took a glance and found the car quite impressive. It was nearly 5.3 meters long, with a silver-gray roof and red surroundings, very distinctive. He nodded, "Hmm, not bad. General Hou, how much are you selling this car for?" Hou Gang scratched his head, "Ah, I bought this car for several hundred thousand. How about you give me two hundred thousand?" Ye Tian was taken aback. Although he didn't know much about cars, he knew that the 7 Series cost over a million. He asked in confusion, "General Hou, you bought this car for several hundred thousand?" Hou Gang smiled, "Yes, our company has a business cooperation with BMW and has preferential quotas for purchasing cars." Ye Tian didn't think much about it and thought to himself that if he could buy a 7 Series for several hundred thousand, he would ask him to buy a few more for himself. And so, Ye Tian bought a twelve-cylinder 7 Series for a mere two hundred thousand! After completing the registration, Hou Gang watched as Ye Tian drove away, his face filled with a smile. But as he smiled, it turned into a pained expression. As soon as Ye Tian stepped on the accelerator, he knew something was wrong. The acceleration of the car was too good, and the sound of the engine was wild, like a monster. The car was fast and stable. Lin Zi Yi, who had been silent all along, suddenly pursed her lips and smiled. Ye Tian asked curiously, "Zi Yi, what are you laughing at?" Lin Zi Yi replied, "Brother Tian, this car is the top-of-the-line model of the BMW 7 Series, and it costs around two to three million." Ye Tian was stunned, "Two million?" Lin Zi Yi nodded, "Yes. Mr. Hou is doing you a favor by selling it to you at this price." Ye Tian shook his head, "I understand now. It must be Lu Chuanxin who asked him to do this. That old Lu, I told him to just buy a car that costs around one million." Lin Zi Yi blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, "Brother Tian, when you mentioned Lu Chuanxin, are you referring to the boss of the Jin Yu Group?" Ye Tian nodded, "Yes, his company seems to be called the Jin Yu Group." Lin Zi Yi exclaimed, "It's really him! Brother Tian, Lu Chuanxin is a billionaire." Ye Tian smiled, "Is that so? He must be very wealthy." Lin Zi Yi rolled her eyes at him, "What do you mean by 'very wealthy'? Lu Chuanxin is one of the top ten richest people in the province." Ye Tian smiled. He didn't tell Lin Zi Yi that in the chat group he created, Lu Chuanxin's assets didn't even make it into the top ten. Because it was his first time driving this car, Ye Tian drove slowly. By the time they arrived at Lin's house, it was already past ten in the morning. As the car pulled into the parking space in front of the villa, there was already a BMW 5 Series parked next to it. Lin Zi Yi recognized it as her brother-in-law Zhang Wei Guang's car and knew that her sister was also here today. She whispered, "Brother Tian, my sister and brother-in-law are here too." Ye Tian said, "I should have prepared two more gifts." Lin Zi Yi said, "It's okay, we can make up for it later." She linked her arm with Ye Tian's, and the two walked into the yard of Lin's house. Just as they entered, a soccer ball flew towards them, aiming to hit Ye Tian hard. He reacted quickly, reached out his hand, and caught the spinning soccer ball. He looked in the direction where the soccer ball came from and saw a man in his late twenties with well-defined muscles looking at him disdainfully. Then, the man's gaze fell on Lin Zi Yi, and a hint of possessiveness flashed in his eyes, which he quickly concealed. The man smiled, "Zi Yi, you're home?" and walked over quickly. Lin Zi Yi said, "Brother-in-law, this is my boyfriend, Ye Tian. Ye Tian, this is my brother-in-law, Zhang Wei Guang." Zhang Wei Guang raised an eyebrow and glanced at Ye Tian, saying, "Aren't you in prison? How did you get out so quickly?" He deliberately brought up Ye Tian's time in prison to make him uncomfortable. Lin Zi Yi immediately defended Ye Tian, "Brother-in-law, Ye Tian was wrongly accused." Zhang Wei Guang sneered, "The law doesn't wrong a good person, nor does it let a bad person go free. Zi Yi, you're still too naive and easily deceived." "Who are you talking to?" A woman walked out of the house. She was in her late twenties, with a round face, big eyes, a plump figure, and fair skin. She was Lin Zi Yi's older sister, Lin Ni. Lin Ni was a nine out of ten in terms of looks, but compared to Lin Zi Yi, she fell short. When Lin Ni saw Lin Zi Yi and Ye Tian, her face immediately darkened, and she angrily said, "Ye Tian, do you have the audacity to come to my house?" Lin Zi Yi was anxious, "Sister, what are you saying!" Lin Ni sneered, "Zi Yi, when will you wake up? What happiness can you have with him?" Hearing the commotion, Lin Jin Sheng and Zhu Yu Ting also came out. As soon as they saw Ye Tian, Lin Jin Sheng became furious and shouted, "Get out! Get out of here!" Lin Zi Yi's eyes immediately turned red, and wiping away her tears, she said, "Dad, if you drive Ye Tian away, I will leave too!" Lin Jin Sheng's face turned ashen with anger. He snatched the gift from Lin Zi Yi's hand and threw it outside the courtyard. The gift smashed on the ground, and everyone heard the sound of a wine bottle breaking. Ye Tian's prepared bottle of aged Maotai was shattered. Ye Tian's expression became serious. He understood Lin Jin Sheng very well. If he were in Lin Jin Sheng's shoes, he wouldn't want his daughter to be with someone who had been in prison either. He took two steps forward, looked into Lin Jin Sheng's eyes, and said sincerely, "Uncle, I know you don't like me. But please give me another chance." Lin Jin Sheng's face was filled with mockery, "Give you another chance? Fine! The new project I contracted needs a batch of funds, not much, just a shortfall of ten million. Prepare it for me!" Ye Tian didn't hesitate and immediately said, "Uncle, I will get you the money as soon as possible." He hadn't cashed the check in his hand yet, so he couldn't help Lin Jin Sheng for the time being. Upon hearing him say this, Lin Jin Sheng became even angrier. He laughed sarcastically, "Get it to me as soon as possible? Fine! If you can't come up with ten million, don't ever bother Zi Yi again!" Ye Tian looked at him and asked, "If I can come up with ten million, will Uncle stop opposing me being with Zi Yi?" Lin Jin Sheng didn't believe for a second that Ye Tian could come up with ten million. He coldly said, "If you really have ten million, then I'll let Zi Yi marry you, so what?"
