Jin Qiu is a woman with a clear purpose, even if she buys a car, the efficiency is surprisingly high, so she didn't pick and choose, and took me directly to the Mercedes-Benz 4S store, and then test-drove a 6-seater MPV. The selling price is about 800,000 yuan, which can already be included in the luxury car class.

During the test drive, she asked me, "Jiangqiao, how do you feel?" ”

"The comfort was really good...... The full-time four-wheel drive is very confident, the power is more surprising, and the sense of space is also very strong, except for the interior is a little old, and the materials are average, everything else is very good. ”

Jin Qiu nodded, and turned to the sales next to him: "Is this car in stock?" If there were, we've got it. ”

"The chalk white is in stock, if you buy it in full, you can drive the car away now."

I took over and said to Jin Qiu: "Do you want to consider other models, after all, there is a budget of 800,000 yuan, and there is still a lot of room for choice." With that, I changed the subject again and asked, "By the way, do you want to replace your Wrangler?" ”

"I don't consider replacement for the time being, and I can use it when I have time to drive in Tibet in the future...... However, if you do have a better option, we can look at it again. ”

When the sales around him heard us say this, he was a little breathless, and hurriedly said: "Sir, Miss, it is really cost-effective for you to buy this car now, because the discount is the largest this year, and the Mercedes-Benz brand is also a guarantee of confidence, if you are not satisfied with the quotation I just offered, we can talk again...... Or, we can send you another optional package worth 20,000 yuan, which is really very, very sincere. ”

Although we didn't discuss it in advance, Jin Qiu and I cooperated very well, and we just took the initiative to buy a car.

First of all, Jin Qiu showed a certain sincerity in purchasing, and I also showed a good impression of this car, letting the sales know that we do have a need to buy a car. In addition, I asked Jin Qiu's Wrangler if he wanted to replace it, and I further told the sales that we have the financial strength to buy this car, because the Wrangler is not a cheap car, and if you can afford to drive a Wrangler, you must be able to afford this car. Finally, if you want to think about other brands, you're putting pressure on him.

In fact, it is not complicated to buy a car and bargain, as long as you show the purchase ** and show the purchasing strength; At this time, the people in the same industry give some different suggestions, which can really put a lot of psychological pressure on sales.

In the end, on the basis of the discount, the sales gave us a cash discount of 15,000 yuan, and also gave us an optional package of 20,000 yuan.

……

After paying in full, Jin Qiu and I stood outside the 4S store and waited for the staff to pick up the car at the warehouse. I said to her with emotion: "I really didn't expect you to buy such a good car before I came, and the Wrangler was kept and not replaced." ”

Jin Qiu smiled and replied, "Maybe next month, I will also consider buying a two-door car with simple parking to facilitate driving in the city...... So Jiangqiao, that's why a lot of people like to pursue wealth because it will give us a lot of possibilities to choose from...... For example, a large sea-view house in Xiamen has generally been sold for more than 5 million, which is a privilege that only a few people can enjoy, and when you really go to live, you will find that it is worth the price...... I'm not denying your indifferent fame and fortune, I just want to express that wealth will let you see more different worlds, and you must experience it to know that an open sea view house may not be as good as a small house full of flowers and plants. ”

I couldn't refute Jin Qiu's point of view, but I didn't want to cater either, so I just jokingly asked, "So next, are you going to go to Xiamen to buy another sea-view villa?" ”

Jin Qiu shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak again. The past two years of getting along with each other have made her understand that our values cannot be unified, and the best result can only be a little closer, but it is impossible to fully integrate.

In the afternoon, Jin Qiu and I drove our newly bought car to a relatively high-end decoration company in Nanjing, and roughly understood that if we decorate according to our favorite style, it will cost about 500,000 yuan for decoration. I didn't save this money, because I knew that Jin Qiu was a woman who had high requirements for the quality of life, so before leaving the decoration company, I paid a deposit of 20,000 yuan, which was considered to be a major event for decoration.

After separating from Jin Qiu, I suddenly realized that counting the money for buying a car and decorating, Jin Qiu and I spent a total of 1.3 million yuan today, but I didn't feel too struggling. Does this prove that because of being with Jin Qiu, my life has risen to an unprecedented height? Anyway, I probably have no worries about food and clothing, and I live a life that others look up to!

It's just that this situation of strong women and weak men still makes me feel a little embarrassed. Come to think of it, a marriage can't go your own way in all aspects.

With this helplessness, I stood under the fountain opposite the renovation company and lit the last cigarette before dusk...... But I don't dare to be too decadent, because I am no longer the unapologetic young man I was at the beginning.

Come to think of it, I'm really conflicted! Because while I am enjoying this stability, I am also thinking about the spiritual gains and losses. But this should also be a flesh-and-blood performance, right?

……

This day, for me is extremely busy, I returned to the second fourth lane, and took Yang Qu to worship grandma, the whole process, my mood is very complicated, in the end I can only hope that the world where grandma is is magical, even if I don't say, she will know that Yang Qu is the granddaughter who she has not met before her death.

On the other hand, Yang Qu only sympathized with her grandmother's lonely and poor life, but she did not express family affection. This can't be blamed on her, but I don't know, when one day, all the truth is presented in front of her, what mood will she use to face it?

On the way back, Yang Qu sat in the co-pilot's seat. She said to me casually, "Brother, there is something I want to discuss with you. ”

I pretended I didn't hear.

Yang Qu slapped me again and said, "Don't worry, it's not to ask you for money, or to say something serious that can change the direction of my life." ”

I put my wallet in the compartment on the door before I said to her, "Say it." ”

Yang Qu glanced at me with contempt and replied: "When you accompanied Sister Jin Qiu to buy a car this morning, a very well-known director called me and invited me to go back to Shanghai to audition, but I am only a sophomore this year!" ”

"And how did you reply to him?"

"I'm very excited...... I almost agreed, but I'm afraid my mother won't agree. She seems to have a special, special hate for me being exposed to the public eye! ”

Of course, Yang Jin particularly hates her being exposed to the public eye, because it is related to her life experience, and once that past is dug up and exposed by people with ulterior motives, it is very likely to have very bad consequences. What's more, if you are born in such a family, how can you support your children to take a path of entertaining the public?

So, I said to Yang Qu: "I suggest you don't go to film......"

Yang Qu interrupted me in disappointment, and she replied: "I thought you would support me, but I didn't expect you to be the same as our mother, are you particularly prejudiced against this industry?" …… I said it all, I want to be an artistic performer with professional ethics, not a star, let alone a drama! ”

"That's a good idea, but have you ever heard of a word called involuntarily?"

"I can't help myself, I think I'm sure I'll take the path I planned for myself."

I glanced at her and replied, "There was a woman who once told me that she would only be a musical artist, but now she has become the star you despise the most, although I always believe that there is no such thing as a profession itself." ”

"You mean Xiao Ai? …… But I'm different from her, no matter how complicated the circle I will enter in the future, my mother will protect me. ”

I smiled, "You are disobedient to her ideas, and at the same time you are pinning your hopes on her protection...... So where do you put yourself? So, I think you've really got to think it through! …… I think the best outcome is that you finish your four years of college and study abroad for a few more years, so that you can take over your family's business in the future. ”

Yang Qu didn't listen to me at all, she said to me with great emotion: "Shouldn't you take over the family's property?" I just want to do what I love, and you don't know how much I love performing it...... Besides, if she really didn't agree with me entering the entertainment industry, then why did she agree to let me come to Shanghai to study drama performance? ”

I replied, "She didn't agree, you've been making claims, okay?" ”

Yang Qu's emotions became more and more excited, and she almost shouted: "Then what's wrong with me being good at making claims?" Why can you rebel against everything she has set for you, and I can't? …… Jiang Qiao, you are really selfish and narrow-sighted, because you only see how others bind you, but you can never see how you help others to restrain you...... I'll put the ugly things in front of you, if you don't align yourself with me on this matter, I'll hate you for the rest of your life...... Because everyone has the right to pursue what they want to do, we are individuals with independent thoughts, not a continuation of our parents. ”

Yang Qu's emotions had affected my driving, so I parked my car on the side of the road. I wanted to say something more to prove that my point of view was correct, but I realized that I was just a negative teaching material, and I was not qualified to change her decision...... So in the end, I just opened the window and lit a cigarette and looked out the window at the countless neon lights jumping on the street.

I seem to see a lot of things that can happen, but I don't have the power to change anything...... I'm even more afraid that Yang Qu will pay a painful price for his persistence, just like Xiao Ai in the past, or even Yang Jin in the past......

At this moment, Yang Qu didn't pester me anymore, she was sulking alone...... And in the next moment, fate has connected us like a ghostly one. I saw Xiao Ai across the street......

She was crouching in front of a booth that applied film to her phone, and after picking out her favorite film, she handed it to the vendor, and the memory of that phone was deeper for me than anything else in this world...... Because this was what I bought for her in Lijiang that year, and the mobile phone chain in the shape of a small bridge is still tightly connected with it.

People come and go and the light in the blur, I looked at her back that seems to be real and illusory, and let out a heavy "exhalation", I am afraid that this is just a dream, because Nanjing is too big, but we coincidentally met twice, this probability is fate, or is it really a dream?
