Chapter 242: Two hundred and forty-two, Dad’s car is the best looking!_1

"Really? I’m so embarrassed," the girl said as she reached for the balloons in Gu Chen’s hand.

There were hundreds of them, a big bunch of colorful balloons that looked really beautiful.

Upon hearing this, the boy beside her felt a bit embarrassed.

"These, these balloons are quite expensive, we better not take them."

Although he knew his girlfriend liked balloons, such a bunch must cost a substantial amount, and even at one yuan each, that would be two hundred yuan.

What couldn’t they do with those two hundred yuan?

Selling balloons was simply a waste of money.

He neither wanted to buy them nor did he want to take something for free from someone.

Mainly because Gu Chen looked no more than two years older than himself, and just taking someone’s balloons for nothing, he felt that he would be laughed at.

Hearing what the boy said, the girl looked at him with a face full of surprise.

"Why? These balloons are so pretty, why wouldn’t we want them?"

He always said they didn’t have money and couldn’t bear to buy something for her, but now that someone was offering them for free, why wouldn’t he accept?

The more the girl thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.

The boy didn’t say anything; he glanced at Gu Chen, "Thank you for your kindness, but these balloons seem quite expensive, we’d rather not take them."

He didn’t want to take unwarranted charity.

At these words, the girl got so angry that she stomped her foot and gave her boyfriend a glare, "If you don’t let me have them today, we are breaking up!"

She didn’t care; she just wanted the balloons. The one who had picked up the balloons was just a little kid not even three years old!

If a three-year-old could have so many balloons, why couldn’t she have any at nearly twenty years old?

Getting a boyfriend was meant to make her happy, not to hold her back!

Hearing the girl say this, the boy frowned.

After a moment, he spoke to Gu Chen, "How about this, sir, could you leave me your contact information? The balloons should be two hundred yuan. I’ll be sure to pay you back once I’ve earned the money."

His name was Qiao Hua, a student at Haicheng University, currently in his second year. Coming from a rural background with not much money, he had been working part-time jobs ever since he started university.

Two hundred yuan was indeed a lot for him.

He didn’t want just to take someone else’s money.

Gu Chen smiled, "It’s fine, we don’t want these balloons either. Just take them and enjoy."

To tell the truth, he was simply looking to give the balloons away to someone.

But seeing that they were full of youth and obviously students, Gu Chen chose them.

He hadn’t anticipated that because of these balloons, the couple would actually end up unhappy; that was certainly an unintended consequence.

"Sir, you must leave me your phone number. I work part-time three days a week at the fruit supermarket ahead. In two months, I’ll definitely be able to pay you back these two hundred yuan. I really can’t take these balloons if you don’t agree," he insisted earnestly.

Seeing his sincerity, Gu Chen couldn’t help but take a second glance at him.

Truthfully, in today’s society, it’s not easy to find people who won’t even take what’s given for free, especially when they don’t have a penny to their name.

The fact that he was considering earning money to pay Gu Chen back was truly moving; it seemed this boy had good character.

"Are you working and studying?" Gu Chen couldn’t help but ask a few more questions.

"Yeah, my family’s from the countryside. My parents are farmers; it’s not easy," the boy replied with a sunny laugh.

Gu Chen’s brows twitched, and he couldn’t help but admire the young man.

Generally, those who work and study or come from poor backgrounds have a sense of resentment in their eyes.

But this young man had none, which was truly rare.

Since Gu Chen was short on manpower, why not have him help out? That way, the boy could earn some money, and Gu Chen would get an extra hand. A win-win situation!

Gu Chen nodded with a smile, "Alright then, leave your number with me. When it’s convenient, I’ll call you, and you can work for me, how about that?"

The young man was startled at the words, for although Gu Chen was dressed plainly, Ji Chu and Uncle Guang beside him were wearing clothes that looked quite expensive.

Working for him meant that he probably wouldn’t be able to handle it.

"May I ask what kind of work you do?"

Gu Chen scratched his head, "All sorts, don’t worry, nothing too difficult."

Right now, Gu Chen really did need manpower. Having contracted so much land, once there was a bountiful harvest, it was always necessary to start a small company. That way, it would be more convenient to sell the produce.

And then there was the fruit business he had just prepared to start that day.

All of these required more people, and it really wasn’t feasible to not have enough help on hand.

Upon hearing this, the young man finally settled down and bowed to Gu Chen, "Okay, then thank you, boss."

After saying that, he took the balloon from Ancient City’s hand and smiled indulgently at his girlfriend, "Now you have a balloon."

The girl was thrilled to have the balloon and immediately planted a kiss on her boyfriend’s face.

The boy turned back, gave his phone number to Gu Chen, and made him promise to call him. He also introduced himself.

They then departed.

When they reached the parking lot, Gu Chen remembered the goji berries Old Zhao had given him. Since he had no use for them himself, he decided to take them to his father-in-law, so he went back to the car and brought down the nicely packaged box of goji berries.

Ji Pianran was surprised when she saw his car.

"What’s this...."

In the morning when they left, wasn’t he still driving a van?

How could he have switched cars in less than half a day?

That was exceptionally fast.

Seeing Ji Pianran’s astonished face, Gu Chen couldn’t help but laugh.

"Wife, I bought this car when I went to pay rent to Old Hu. It’s very suitable; now you and Candy won’t have to squeeze into the van anymore."

Uncle Guang frowned upon seeing Gu Chen’s new car, "You really don’t know how to spend your money."

The guy with twenty million in his pocket didn’t need to settle for a Benz or a BMW—it wouldn’t be too much even to get a Rolls-Royce!

But this kid, he didn’t even buy an Audi and went for a Santana 2000 instead!

It’s really hard to know what to say about him!

Hearing this, Ji Pianran smiled toward Uncle Guang, "Uncle Guang, this car is already very good."

From the expression on her face, it was clear that Ji Pianran was quite satisfied with this car.

She was not one for ostentation. Moreover, a car at home is just for travel and convenience; she never had an issue with a van, let alone a Santana.

Three years ago, this would have been something she couldn’t even dare to dream of.

Having seen everything good since she was a child and having used and seen the best, she understood better than anyone that money is not omnipotent.

She believed that only affection was the most important.

That Gu Chen was considerate enough to change to a sedan because she and Candy were uncomfortable in the van already meant the world.

As for luxury cars, she had no need for them at all.

All she needed was a loving husband and a kind and sensible daughter.

Candy was currently being held by her uncle, and when she heard that daddy had bought a new car, she quickly looked over at the Santana 2000.

"Wow, daddy is so cool, the car is so pretty!"

Hearing the child’s naive voice, Ji Chu couldn’t resist his curiosity and asked her, "What do you think is prettier, the little gold-man car or daddy’s car?"

Upon hearing this, the little girl opened her mouth hesitantly, "Daddy’s car is prettier!"

She wasn’t interested in the little gold-man. She knew that whatever daddy had was the best.

Daddy is the best at everything!
