Chapter 446: Chapter 446 Cab Fare

Ye Zhenzhen and Song Jinze also got out of the car and asked, "President Ji, have you encountered some problems? Do you need help?"

Ji Ziqian shook his head, "No need, you all..."

Then, he pointed in surprise at the relatively new van behind Ye Zhenzhen, "How did you manage to get this kind of car?"

He had spent five hundred yuan to rent a decrepit tricycle from the production crew. Just a moment ago, his own daughter was fussing in the car, and in the blink of an eye, he saw Ye Zhenzhen driving this van, which would shock anyone.

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at Song Jinze unintentionally, smiled and said, "Well, it’s about the house we live in. The landlord left a note, saying if we needed it, we could borrow a car from his neighbor behind the house. We rented it with some money too."

[How did Ye Zhenzhen rent this car? Can someone tell me, I’ve been watching Ji Ziqian’s family live all this time.]

[Could it be that the production crew is giving them an advantage because Ye Zhenzhen’s husband is a big shot, just like this preferential treatment?]

[Can you stop making wild guesses? It’s the house they’re staying at, the landlord told them they could borrow a car from the neighbor behind.]

[Zhenzhen said they rented it from the neighbor, stop spouting nonsense.]

Speaking of this car, Ye Zhenzhen remembered that when she got back home just now, Song Jinze had specifically handed her a blank note, seriously telling her;

"Look, this is a note left by the landlord. He said there’s a neighbor behind his house who has a car, and if we need to go out, we could borrow it from his neighbor."

At the time, Ye Zhenzhen looked at the blank note, and for a moment thought Song Jinze was reading from the Wordless Heavenly Scripture. If it weren’t for the fact that she was an actress by profession, she would really have been unable to react at that moment.

At the same time, she was extremely shocked inwardly, feeling that this man’s words were absolutely effortless fabrications.

While everyone was discussing whether to rent a car or not, what Song Jinze whispered in her ear was that they didn’t need to rent one, they had one, and it wouldn’t cost them any money.

After the two went to the back of the house and negotiated with the car owner, the person agreed to lend them the car readily, and didn’t even ask for money.

In the end, it was only after Ye Zhenzhen insisted on giving money that the person reluctantly agreed to accept two hundred yuan.

After getting the car, during the moment cameraman brother hadn’t caught up, Ye Zhenzhen directly asked Song Jinze, "The car was arranged by you, right?"

From the neighbor’s words, as well as the passage that man had read from a blank piece of paper just now, she had a hunch that the car didn’t really belong to that neighbor. The way he looked, and the casualness with which he regarded the car, it just didn’t seem like the attitude of a normal car owner.

A smile immediately blossomed on Song Jinze’s lips, "You discovered it that quickly?"

Ye Zhenzhen turned her head, her clear phoenix eyes full of playful laughter, "You’ve underestimated me."

Song Yuchen quietly covered his mouth, as if suddenly realizing the truth, "Mom, you really are so smart!"

He hadn’t noticed at all and was surprised that his mother had seen through it so quickly!

A gentle smile filled Song Jinze’s eyes as he agreed with the little one’s words, "Yes, very smart."

In fact, from the moment he set foot on Nanfeng Island, not only was Secretary Zhang paying attention, but his personal bodyguard team was also secretly following along.

No matter which country or city he traveled to on business, there were bodyguards openly next to him, as well as those secretly following and protecting him.

The reason he knew about the car was because, while chatting about renting a car at the village chief’s doorstep, he happened to see a disguised bodyguard driving past not far away.

By the time he and Ye Zhenzhen returned to the house, they just happened to see that van parked behind the house...

...

While Ji Ziqian and Ye Zhenzhen were chatting, Director Yang and the entire Gu Liangjun family also walked over from the village, and everyone had the same shocked expression upon seeing the two vans, just like Ji Ziqian did.

After learning how the vehicle had arrived, Gu Liangjun said enviously with a chuckle, "President Song really knows how to live, I don’t have any neighbors with vans."

Leaning into the van to take a look, An Xi noticed the interior was pretty nice and, not caring about anything else, directly said to Ye Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, why don’t we hitch a ride, we’ll pay for it."

Hearing An Xi’s suggestion, Gu Liangjun also nodded and added, "That’s right, President Song, if you don’t feel like driving, I can take the wheel and drive; it wouldn’t hurt to take us along since it’s on the way."

[An Xi is at it again, trying to take advantage of anything Ye Zhenzhen has to offer—she did the same last episode, relentlessly profiting, and it’s the same this time.]

[An Xi and Gu Liangjun really are cut from the same cloth!]

[What our Xixi said isn’t wrong, is it? Ye Zhenzhen’s van is so big; what’s the issue with giving us a lift along the way, especially since we’re offering to pay?]

[You say you’ll pay, but do you think Zhenzhen will accept it? If she does, and afterwards, won’t you start saying, ’Ye Zhenzhen is so stingy~’?]

Director Yang and Xu Wanjia both nodded with a smile, indicating their willingness to pay for a ride.

Director Yang even asked with a laugh, "President Song, Zhenzhen, I hope you don’t mind this suggestion; we just don’t know if you’d agree to it."

"Mind? Come on, Director Yang, that’s too formal of you—just hop in the car, forget about any costs," Ye Zhenzhen gestured with a wave for everyone to get on board.

In fact, Ye Zhenzhen had originally planned to drive to the roadside to wait for everyone and give them a ride. Charging a fee was just something that An Xi brought up on her own; Zhenzhen had not even thought about it.

Smiling at Ye Zhenzhen, Xu Wanjia said, "Zhenzhen, since this van is a rental of yours, we should definitely not ride for free. We should pay; after all, it’s rented from someone else, here is our share."

With that, Xu Wanjia didn’t give Ye Zhenzhen the chance to refuse, directly stuffing a bill into Zhenzhen’s hand, "This is the car fare for our family."

An Xi’s gaze darkened. She hadn’t expected Xu Wanjia to give Ye Zhenzhen the money so promptly.

Seeing Xu Wanjia board the van with little YiYi, Director Yang followed suit, smiling at Song Jinze and Ye Zhenzhen, "You have to accept the money; if you don’t, it’s like you’re not letting us ride."

With the conversation having reached this point, what else could Ye Zhenzhen say? She smiled and replied, "Okay, I’ll take the money."

It just seemed like the amount given was a bit too much.

Following Xu Wanjia’s lead, An Xi handed Ye Zhenzhen a bill as well, "Zhenzhen, take this."

[No wonder Director Yang and Xu Wanjia have a good reputation in the circle; this couple does things in such a gratifying way!]

[An Xi was the first to talk about giving money, but ends up being the last to give, and only after seeing Xu Wanjia give hers, tch!]

[What are you talking about? Our Xixi did give money after all!]

Qiu Wanshuang had been sitting at the front of the tricycle, holding her sleeping daughter Ji Yunyun. Hearing that everyone could pay to ride Ye Zhenzhen’s car, she took her daughter down from the tricycle and approached Ye Zhenzhen to ask;

"Zhenzhen, my daughter has fallen asleep, and I’m worried taking the tricycle to town could make her catch a chill. Can I hold her and ride in your car? I will pay the fee."
