It had rained for two consecutive days and Yun City was finally clear again.
With an unexpected deposit of 4 million yuan, Lu Yuan specifically told Liu Yuan to improve the meals.
Around noon, Liu Yuan went shopping at Yun City’s only two large supermarkets, but didn’t see Lu Yuan when she came back.
The little nurse showed off her cooking skills in the clinic's kitchen, busy for nearly two hours.
Stewed chicken cubes with potatoes, braised pork ribs, red cooked pork, sweet and sour fish, and spicy chicken, a table full of sumptuous dishes came out of the oven, but Lu Yuan still hadn’t returned.
Liu Yuan called him, but no one answered.
Just then, a customer came to the clinic lobby.
...
Lao Yao tugged at his own collar, habitually scanning the lobby.
The broken glass door of the lobby made Lao Yao look a few more times.
The lone ticket machine made Lao Yao ponder, as if trying to deduce the owner’s personality through it.
Nurse Liu Yuan came out from the end of the first floor corridor, and said to Lao Yao: "Sorry, Dr. Lu is not here now, if you need anything you can tell me first."
Lao Yao smiled and asked, "Is there only one doctor in this clinic?"
Liu Yuan blinked, "What do you want to ask?"
Lao Yao held his stomach and said, "My stomach hurts a little, I don't know if it's an internal medicine or surgery problem, so I just wanted to ask what department the doctors here are in?"
Liu Yuan took out a medical record book and handed it to Lao Yao, pointing to the ticket machine and said: "Take a number first, don't worry, whether you have abdominal pain, diarrhea, pulling your stomach, or late-stage terminal stomach cancer, Dr. Lu can take care of you."
Lao Yao: "..."
He went to take a number and asked, "Can you install mechanical prosthetics?"
The little nurse nodded: "It can be installed, but our fees are not cheap."
Lao Yao looked around the lobby again, "As long as you can install it, that’s fine."
"Well, sit for a while, or walk around, anyway Dr. Lu's clinic has at most one customer a day, no hurry."
"Only one person comes in a day?"
"Yeah, it's been like this for many years, there are few people in such a remote corner of Yun City, how many patients could there be?"
Seemingly feeling the little nurse's words made some sense, Lao Yao didn’t ask any more and just sat down in the rest area of the lobby.
...
At the same time, in the suburbs of Yun City, at an auto repair shop.
This was both a repair shop and Yun City's only used car market.
Yun City was so small that dealers unwilling to open stores here to sell new cars.
Of course, there were also safety factors. In this era where mutant beasts roamed everywhere, the more remote the place, the more dangerous.
Looking at the sedan he exchanged for 2,600 yuan in consultation fees, Lu Yuan said to the sleepy-looking, red-haired and vulgar man next to him: "Take my car back, I'll swap another one."
The red-haired man looked disgustedly at Lu Yuan's aged old car and asked, "Big bro, I can take it back, but the problem is, you gotta pay..."
Lu Yuan was taken aback. The man didn't wait for Lu Yuan to speak and directly said, "You didn't hear wrong, big bro. You have to pay me. The money from recycling your car can't cover the service fee for the workers."
Lu Yuan: "..."
Lu Yuan thought about it seriously. His old car was only worth 2,600 yuan. Considering depreciation over the past two years, he might really have to pay out of his own pocket.
"Then leave it here. If someone wants to buy it, sell it."
The red-haired man twisted his lips again. "Big bro, who's gonna buy a broken car? You gotta pay the repair fee!"
Lu Yuan waved his hand. "No need. I'm selling it as a broken car. If someone wants to buy it, sell it. If no one buys it, then forget it. I'll leave the car here, you won't charge me for that, right?"
The red-haired man took a deep breath as if he had met his match today.
"Alright, big bro, but we gotta set some rules. You have to buy a car from me today for me to provide you this service."
Lu Yuan looked around the parking lot behind the red-haired man and nodded. "Deal."
Half an hour later, Lu Yuan spent 2,700 yuan to drive a vintage SUV out of the red-haired man's used car parking lot.
Such an old car was not worth much to begin with, with an original price of just 5,400 yuan. But meeting Lu Yuan, it was cut down to 2,700 yuan.
The red-haired man, looking as if he had terrible luck, received Lu Yuan's transfer and finally gave Lu Yuan a pair of white gloves before taking the initiative to open the parking lot gate.
The meaning was very clear, just short of hanging these words on his face: Please get lost as soon as possible, okay?
Lu Yuan sat in the car, unhurriedly and methodically turning the steering wheel, gently stepping on the accelerator to drive the car away.
The red-haired man followed behind Lu Yuan’s SUV, opening his mouth as if to spit, bleh! Stingy man!
Looking at the red-haired man's actions through the rearview mirror, Lu Yuan ignored him completely.
Even though he had just made 40 million yuan, Lu Yuan had always been frugal, avoiding waste.
He didn't go far, just driving around Yun City usually. As long as this 2,700 yuan vintage car could run for a year, he wouldn’t lose out. If it could run for two years, then he would be earning!
Boom!
However, ideals are plentiful, but reality is so painfully bonier.
As soon as Lu Yuan's 2,700 yuan vintage car, which he had just bought, drove out of the red-haired man's parking lot gate, the exhaust pipe suddenly let out a beastly roar!
Immediately after, thick black smoke poured out of the exhaust pipe as if money was no object.
"Cough cough, cough cough!"
The red-haired man, who was just about to spit at the back of Lu Yuan's car, was instantly choked by a mouthful of exhaust from the 1980s. He almost ascended on the spot!
Bang!
Another strange noise came from under the car and Lu Yuan's car, which had just come online, stopped completely on the spot.
Lu Yuan got out of the car and stood facing the red-haired man with a face covered in black smoke through the lingering exhaust.
Lu Yuan's big eyes stared at the red-haired man's small eyes. The red-haired man turned around, reached behind the parking lot gate, and held up a wooden sign.
The sign read: Test drives allowed on premises only, no guarantees after leaving premises.
Lu Yuan glared and said, "What about the one-year warranty you just promised?"
The red-haired man pretended to stay calm and said, "You haggled it away! Why else would I let you slash the price from 5,400 to 2,700?!
Lu Yuan frowned, "I won't argue with you, let me switch for another car!"
The red-haired man arrogantly held up the wooden sign: "Can't you read?! Do you know who this place belongs to?! Brother Gou of Xifu City! Dare to cause Brother Gou trouble—"
Bang!
...
Ten minutes later, the red-haired man with a bruised face drove an electric tricycle, carrying Lu Yuan lying on it towards Xifu City.
As he drove, he mumbled unclearly: "You're dead, stingy man. Brother Gou is an Esper. He'll make you pay."
Lying on the tricycle looking up at the sky blankly, Lu Yuan never expected that of the dozen plus cars in this Yun City used car parking lot, not a single one could be driven out.
He couldn't help but slap the red-haired man driving the tricycle on the head, "You guys don't seem to be very good at doing business with Brother Gou..."
"Humph! Stupid ass, Brother Gou in Xifu City will make you wish you were dead when we get there!"
