V4C27 – Whose Car to Ride (1/2)

Most of the senior executives in the New Century Group had a car of their own. The only one who didn’t have a car was Yang Mei, a new University graduate, and another new Department Manager who had just bought a new house, Wang Yulun. Because of buying a new house, Wang Yulun hadn’t bought a car of his own. As for an old hat like Li Xiaogang, the dude had his BMW.

Chu Gao’s car was an Audi bought by my instructions. I had thought that Chu Gao was still young, so it wasn’t good to show off his talent too much. As his base was still shallow, I feared that people might envy him and try to bring harm to him in secret, making him fall from his position.

“Yang Mei, come, ride on my car!” Li Xiaogang pressed the button on his car controller and unlocked his BMW.

“I……I will go in Uncle Zhang’s car!” Yang Mei shook her head. Generally, whenever they all went out of the company together, she would always ride the Marketing Department Manager, Zhang Jianshan’s car.

“It’s not possible today, Little Mei. Look at my car, there are only two seats in it. Our newly arrived Little Wang had already asked me to let him ride in my car,” Zhang Jianshan beckoned with his hand.

“Ah!” Yang Mei had a bitter expression as she pitifully looked towards Zhang Jianshan. The last time she sat in Li Xiaogang’s car, Li Xiaogang started out good, but after some time, he started to move his hands and feet randomly……

“Didn’t Director Liu bring his car. How about you go with him.” Zhang Jianshan said with a smile.

“Uncle Zhang, you are doing it deliberately!” Yang Mei said with a smile. She hadn’t thought I also brought a car. She had thought that my relationship with Chu Gao was good, so I will certainly go with Chu Gao. Because of this, she didn’t have any thought about this matter.

“It turns out you don’t want to go with the Director. It seems I am being meddlesome. Alright, I will let Little Wang go with the Director while you can come with me!” Zhang Jianshan said to her as he was about to call Wang Yu.

“Alright Uncle Zhang, I won’t disturb you anymore!” Yang Mei stamped her feet angrily and turned around, running away.

“There’s no one else?” Yang Mei pointed to the seat next to me.

I shook my head.

“Can I sit?” Yang Mei asked.

I nodded.

“Can’t you talk!” Yang Mei shouted as she pulled open the door.

“Yang Mei, you should sit on my BMW. This Santana isn’t very comfortable and the distance to the resort isn’t small either. There will be a lot of jolts and bumps on the road as well!” Li Xiaogang wouldn’t have had any issue if she sat in Zhang Jianshan’s car as Zhang Jianshan’s daughter was already around Yang Mei’s age, so there was no possibility for anything happening. But now, as he saw her sit in my car, his heart was worried about something might that happen, so he immediately drove over.

“This car is great. Besides, I like the feeling of the jolts and bumps as it reminds me of the time I used to go to amusement parks and play in Bumper Cars!” Yang Mei said.

Li Xiaogang looked at me resentfully and then returned to his car.

“It’s quite strange. Instead of sitting in a BMW, you are bent on sitting in my Santana 2000!” I looked towards Yang Mei and said with a smile.

“Humph, you sure have a lot of words to say!” Yang Mei glared at me as she said, “This Li Xiaogang isn’t a good person!”

“Oh? Why isn’t he good? Aren’t you slandering a colleague?” I hinted to Xu Er to drive as I asked Yang Mei.

“No matter what, he’s not good. I don’t like him.” Yang Mei obviously wasn’t going to say how Li Xiaogang tried to take advantage of her before.

“Then you must be careful. There are many people who say I am a pretty bad person,” I said seriously.

“Who will believe you? I can tell at a glance you aren’t!” Yang Mei said.

“Xu Er, what do you say? Aren’t I a bad guy?” I asked Xu Er.

“Chief Liu, you are a good man!” Xu Er replied.
