Mercedes-Benz Center, the day to pick up the car.
Xiao Meier sat in the waiting area and asked, "Honey, don’t we already have three cars? Why buy another one?"
Chen Cheng sipped his water, "Once you pass the test, this car is for you to drive."
"Didn’t Chen Jin gift us a NIO car?"
Chen Cheng: "Mercedes, that’s what befits my wife."
Xiao Meier covered her mouth and giggled, "I haven’t even taken the first subject test yet."
"I have confidence in you, you should have confidence in yourself too."
"I was saying that when I make money, I’d buy you a Porsche. But you’ve gone ahead and bought a Mercedes," Xiao Meier recalled that night’s promise.
"Wife, whether it’s a Mercedes or a Porsche, it’s all a part of our beautiful life. As long as we work hard together, we’ll have everything we want in the future."
At that moment, the salesperson came over.
The person she last saw was Xia Yubing, and she had a particularly deep impression of that extremely stunning "Mrs. Chen."
But this time, after seeing the glamorous Xiao Meier, she realized that rich people always had beautiful women by their side.
Moreover, the Daytona on Xiao Meier’s wrist was worth not just seven or eight times more than Xia Yubing’s artisan watch, and coupled with her natural demeanor with Chen Cheng, the salesperson felt that this was truly the main wife.
"Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen, the car is ready on that side. We’ve also prepared a car-receiving ceremony, please come this way."
Chen Cheng and Xiao Meier smiled at each other and got up to follow the salesperson.
The car reception ceremony was beautifully arranged, with colorful ribbons and surrounded by flowers.
Amidst the clapping and blessings of the sales staff, Chen Cheng handed a bouquet of flowers to Xiao Meier.
And the salesperson delivered the keys.
Chen Cheng considerately opened the car door for her. Xiao Meier pointed to her own nose, "Am I going to drive?"
"First, get a feel for it; then you’ll be motivated when you study for the test."
Xiao Meier laughed and got in, caressing the steering wheel with both hands, looking around excitedly, non-stop murmuring, "This feels so great!"
Chen Cheng stood outside, smiling as he watched her, his eyes filled with indulgence.
Xiao Meier got out of the car and trotted to the passenger side.
Chen Cheng smiled and nodded. The two left the showroom in their new car.
The salesperson joked, "Isn’t this too romantic? Buying the car even before getting the driver’s license."
The salesperson who attended to Chen Cheng said, "The woman standing by his side last time wasn’t the same as today’s."
"Ah?" Another salesperson gasped in surprise, "The love life of rich people is indeed complicated."
"Indeed, but that’s none of our business. We just do our job."
At this time, Chen Cheng and Xiao Meier were driving the new car on the road.
Xiao Meier looked out of the window and suddenly said, "Husband, what if I keep failing the driving test?"
Chen Cheng chuckled, "Don’t worry, I believe you can do it. Even if you can’t pass, we have already bought the car. Worst case, I’ll be your personal driver."
Xiao Meier playfully punched Chen Cheng’s shoulder, "You know how to cheer me up."
They chatted and laughed on the way to Wanbao Hall.
When they got back to the store, Xia Gaoqiang was already waiting.
Seeing them arrive, he stood up, "Dacheng, sister-in-law."
Xiao Meier’s eyes curved in a smile; she knew what Xia Gaoqiang was here for and offered a topic, "Does Aunt Hui like the food?"
"Very much, it’s plentiful. Thank you, sister-in-law," said Xia Gaoqiang.
Xiao Meier nodded, "Then I’ll go and tell the kitchen to whip up a few new dishes from the menu, and you can take them over at noon."
"You guys chat." After saying this, she left the space and time for Chen Cheng and Xia Gaoqiang.
Chen Cheng sat by the tea table, boiling water, "How’s it going?"
"I submitted my resignation to the principal today." Xia Gaoqiang took out a stack of documents from his backpack. "Also, I’ve been scouting for locations."
Chen Cheng took the documents, and Xia Gaoqiang continued, "I personally think that Xin Zhuang is quite suitable. There’s an Oceanwide International campus there, and no basketball training centers nearby."
Chen Cheng quickly leafed through, "500 square meters? Isn’t that a bit small?"
Xia Gaoqiang explained, "Dacheng, the bigger the area, the more we have to pay for the fire safety deposit. Also, now with education and training centers, we have to open an account with the Education Commission. The money customers pay can only be in that special account, and it’s transferred to us after the classes."
Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow, "You’ve already looked into all this?"
Xia Gaoqiang nodded, "Yeah, I’ve checked everything. We’re just starting; we don’t need to spread ourselves too thin. Let’s build our reputation first, and then it won’t be late to slowly expand."
Chen Cheng tapped his fingers lightly on the table, thought for a while, and said, "You make sense. What about the rent?"
Xia Gaoqiang replied, "The rent is relatively reasonable at 45 per square meter per month. And the landlord over there is easy to talk to. If we rent long-term, there might be some discount."
Chen Cheng nodded slightly, "Alright, let’s settle on Xin Zhuang for the location."
He looked at Xia Gaoqiang full of drive, "I mentioned yesterday, is it too pressuring for you to teach alone?"
"There’s definitely pressure, but for the sake of living, I’m willing to give it a shot," Xia Gaoqiang was confident,
"Besides, I’ve contacted a few guys I know from playing basketball. They are all professional coaches with rich experience and are willing to join forces."
"That’s pretty good." Chen Cheng handed back the documents, "Go to Li Dinger and get all the licenses sorted out."
Xia Gaoqiang nodded, "What’s the name of the company?"
Chen Cheng thought for a while, "Ride the Wind. You and I, let’s break some waves together."
Xia Gaoqiang grinned, "I like the name, it’s powerful! Alright, I’ll go to Li Dinger to get it done."
