Chapter 112 The Strange Range Rover Owner
Chapter 112 The Strange Range Rover Owner
Lu Ran was driving his Range Rover on the way to Sanshui County.
Before setting off, he specifically called his mother to ask if his father could come to the county town so that he could take his father to complete the transfer procedures as soon as he arrived.
After all, if it were a few days later, the traffic management bureau would be closing time.
Mom said she and Dad are going to the county town to sell fruit today, which is perfect.
Although Lu Ran now owns many cars, including some top-of-the-line luxury cars worth tens of millions, the Range Rover is the cheapest one in his garage.
But Lu Ran didn't hesitate or waver; he drove the Range Rover back and gave it to his father.
The reason is simple: the Range Rover is my dad's ultimate goal in life.
When Lu Ran was a child, he would sit by the field while his father worked. His father would chat with him while he worked, and the most frequent thing he would say was that when Lu Ran grew up and got married, his father would buy him a Range Rover.
Unfortunately.
As Lu Ran grew up, his father's distance from owning a Range Rover hadn't decreased at all compared to back then; it was so far away that his father could hardly see any hope.
Gradually, the matter was no longer mentioned.
For people of his father's generation, if Lu Ran were to place a Koenigsegg worth over 20 million yuan in front of his father and state the price...
Lu Ran could easily imagine his father's reaction.
It's highly likely they just think it's too expensive, but they probably don't really have a concept of what a sports car worth over 20 million is, so they won't be too excited.
But if I bring the Range Rover to my dad, he'll definitely be very happy and excited.
Because one is outside of one's goals, while the other is a lifelong dream.
Even the most prestigious things that are ethereal and intangible are ultimately meaningless; true happiness in life lies in the tangible pursuits that are right before your eyes.
Therefore, even if Lu Ran doesn't have a Range Rover in his garage, he will still buy one before going home.
Before we knew it.
Lu Ran had already arrived at the highway entrance in the county town.
Lu Ran put his mind at ease, drove off the highway at the intersection, and headed towards the vegetable market.
He knew where his family's stall was; his parents had bought it. When Lu Ran was in college, he often went to the county town with his parents to sell fruit during his holidays.
As they got closer to the market, Lu Ran's longing for her parents grew stronger.
This is a very strange mentality.
When you're away from home, you don't think about it much, but during the few days you go home for the Lunar New Year, it seems that people from all over China experience homesickness and longing for their families, and the closer it gets to the end of the year and the closer you are to your hometown, the stronger it becomes.
Soon, Lu Ran arrived at the intersection of the vegetable market. In the distance, he could already see his parents busy at their stall.
Originally intending to go directly there, Lu Ran thought for a moment and parked the car next to a small supermarket, got out and bought a mask, a baseball cap and sunglasses.
Back in the car, he put on a mask, hat, and sunglasses, and only after confirming that even his own parents wouldn't recognize him did he start the car and drive inside.
"Hey Lu, look! Your Range Rover, your Range Rover!"
Widow Zhou had just closed a few deals, and her mood had finally improved.
After receiving the money, she scrolled through her phone for a while. Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she saw a Range Rover driving by, and she immediately became so excited that she shouted.
Lu Wentao first looked at the Range Rover with envy, then joked, "Old Lu, your Range Rover is here! Hahaha, it's the New Year, so you can feast your eyes on it. Looks like even God is taking pity on you!"
"You crazy old hag and bald man, are you ever going to stop?"
When Wen Youli saw that the two men started teasing her husband as soon as they saw the Range Rover, she immediately called out their nicknames in an annoyed manner.
Lu Changshu gave an awkward smile.
Despite being teased, he couldn't help but keep glancing at the Range Rover.
As Lu Changshu watched, he suddenly noticed that the Range Rover had stopped next to his pickup truck.
Then a person who was completely covered up got out of the car. He seemed vaguely familiar and could be roughly identified as a man. Judging from his clothes, he shouldn't be too old.
Lu Changshu didn't notice that his wife's hand trembled the moment the Range Rover owner got out of the car.
"Boss, how about some yams?"
Seeing the Range Rover stop beside them and even get out to buy things, Lu Wentao and Widow Zhou immediately perked up.
This is a big client; they might just buy everything they own.
Lu Ran walked to the yam stall, squatted down, and flipped through the yams.
"Hmm?...Hiss...Ugh..."
He first nodded in agreement, showing interest, then flipped through it and felt it wasn't quite right, finally shaking his head and sighing in utter disappointment.
This caused Lu Wentao's heart to race, going from expectation to disappointment.
"Boss, if you don't like the appearance, we can give you a discount. It's negotiable."
"How about this, you buy them all, and I'll give you a 40% discount."
Lu Ran looked up at him and asked, "Hmm?"
He then raised his right hand, pointed with his thumb at the Range Rover behind him, shook his head, and left the booth.
Lu Wentao understood.
Does this mean I already drive a Range Rover and still need your discount?
Seeing that the deal hadn't gone through, Lu Wentao curled his lip and muttered to himself, "What's with showing off driving a beat-up Range Rover!"
"Um?"
Lu Ran seemed to have heard it and immediately turned around.
Lu Wentao's expression changed, and he quickly laughed, "Haha, I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about the TV series, yes, I was watching TV."
Lu Wentao pointed to the tablet in front of him that was playing a TV series.
"Hmm!" Lu Ran nodded in satisfaction and walked towards the vegetable stall.
Widow Zhou wiped her hands on her apron, stood up, and smiled as she recommended, "Boss, all these vegetables in my house were just dug up from the ground this morning, and they're all natural with no chemical agents."
"Look at these potatoes, the mud on them is still fresh, they're definitely nutritious and healthy."
Lu Ran rested his chin on his hand and carefully observed for two minutes, then looked at each item one by one with his hands.
Finally, he picked up a potato and gestured with it.
Widow Zhou was a little confused and wondered to herself if the big boss who drove the Range Rover was mute, only able to utter a few words!
However, she naturally wouldn't ask someone in front of them if they could speak properly, so she could only patiently observe the guest's actions.
It wasn't until Lu Ran held the potato up to the weighing machine that Widow Zhou realized what was happening.
"Oh, boss, you mean the price, right?"
"Mm." Lu Ran nodded.
"Haha, these are grown by our family, seven yuan a pound."
"snort."
Widow Zhou was clearly trying to rip off her customers, because she had just seen Lu Wentao say that the shop owner was unhappy about the discount, so she was thinking of charging a higher price.
I thought to myself that these rich people must like to buy expensive things.
But her cleverness backfired.
Lu Ran angrily put the potato down, snorted coldly, and turned to leave, the meaning of which was very clear: Do you think I'm an idiot?
"Boss, boss, can we negotiate the price? Five yuan, no, two yuan a pound."
Widow Zhou failed to retain her major customer, who then arrived at Lu Changshu and his wife's fruit stall.
The two who failed to make a sale were secretly praying that Lu Changshu's fruit would also go unsold, so that they could feel a little better.
