I am Really a Superstar Chapter 100: Buying a Car!

Chapter 100: Buying a Car!

Afternoon.

The landlady auntie did not cook for Zhang Ye anymore. He grabbed sothing to fill his stomach before going online to transfer 100,000 Yuan to his father. It was an instantaneous transaction. After the transfer was made, his mum called him with her cellphone.

“Son, did you transfer money to your dad?” his mum asked with so surprise.

“Yes, my royalty fees have been paid, so I transferred 100,000 over to spend first.” Zhang Ye said like he was a nouveau riche, “When you finish spending it, you can ask for more! We are not short on money!”

“You are really my good son.” Mom said happily, “Is the money for or your dad?”

Zhang Ye did not know to cry or laugh, “Isn’t it the sa who I give it to? Alright, alright, it’s for you.”

Mom seed to be showing off at Dad on the other side of the phone, “Heard that? Our son is giving it to . Don’t you touch the money. In a while, I’ll go buy so jewelry. Our family has been suffering for so many years, and we have finally reversed our situation. Ha, my son is indeed capable. Mom did not work for nothing by feeding you through sh*t and pee!”

So, I grew up being fed sh*t and pee?

Then everyone, please be careful when you are close to !

Recalling how others talk about their youth, they would say stuff like, “thinking back to my innocent childhood”, and then say how it was, but when it was my turn, it’s “thinking back to my days of being fed sh*t and pee childhood”? Just this impressive opening speech would make people listen to his childhood stories with their noses pinched!

Zhang Ye grumbled to himself a little, then finished up the conversation with his mother before taking an afternoon nap.

……

In his dreamlike state.

Bang, bang, bang. Soone was knocking on the door.

“Brother!”

“Brother, open the door!”

“We know you are ho!”

Zhang Ye was awoken by three chattering voices. He knew from their voices at once that they were his cousins, “Coming, coming!” After putting on his clothes, he went to open the door.

three nice-slling girls stread into the room.

The slightly more reserved eldest sister, Cao Dan, stuck out her tongue, “Brother, I was pulled over by the both of them.”

The second sister, Cao Tong, smiled and put her arms over Zhang Ye’s shoulder, “We heard from First Aunty about your new book. It earned a few million?”

“Is that so? Why do I not know about it?” Zhang Ye played dumb. He thought to himself that he had been utterly defeated by his mum. His mum’s loud mouth was really strong. Oh, it’s only been an hour and the secret is out? Did everyone in the family find out, too?

The third sister, Cao ngng, pouted cutely, “Brother, you are already a big ti author. How can you be so stingy? We already know and you still don’t want to admit it?” She shalessly sat down on Zhang Ye’s bed, not even removing her shoes before she laid down, “I don’t care. In any case, I want the newest model of a Phoenix laptop, the ultra thin type. If you don’t buy it for , I will not leave.” She rascally kicked her feet in the air.

Phoenix laptop? It should be a brand of this world, since Zhang Ye has never heard of it.

Cao Tong also laid down on the bed, “I’m not leaving either. I want an OC business class laptop!”

“Their eldest sister, Cao Dan, looked at Zhang Ye and coughed, “Brother, I also lack a laptop. Any type is fine, as long as it’s usable.”

Zhang Ye seemingly scamd, “Sure. If you aren’t leaving, I will.”

“Brother, you are bullying us!” Cao ngng’s eyes turned red. Don’t even ntion that acting, “When I go back, I will tell First Aunt and Uncle that you bullied us!”

When a hard stance doesn’t work, try the soft way.

Zhang Ye was just the type to fall for emotional blackmail, “What are you doing? What are you crying for!”

Cao ngng said with tearful eyes, “You are earning so much money, yet you won’t even spend so to buy things for your sisters. Aren’t you ashad to be our brother? Not ashad?”

The hypocrite rascal Cao Tong also joined in the pitiful nagging, “Brother……”

Cao Dan, witnessing it all, said, “Why not you buy it for them both; they need it for their studies. Forget about .”

“I can tell that you three are here to rob .” Zhang Ye laughed bitterly. He knew that he could not escape this, so he said, “Alright, alright. Buy it; I will reimburse you all!”

Cao ngng imdiately stopped crying and jumped in excitent, “Long live Brother!”

Cao Tong had wanted to buy a laptop since a long ti ago. She went over to give Zhang Ye a peck on his cheeks, “I love you to death, Brother! My sister is included too, right?”

“Yes, yes. There’s one for everyone.” Zhang Ye helplessly said.

The three sisters were all very happy at this ti. They hugged together and cheered!

Zhang Ye was also happy to see them so joyful. They quickly pulled him out of the house to go with them to the mall to buy the laptops.

Sigh, I can’t help it that I’m their brother. Let’s go!

……

At Yintai Mall beside Jiaon subway.

“Brother, this is the laptop that I want!”

“Buy.”

“Brother, that is the one I want.”

“Buy.”

“Brother, I want this laptop.”

“……Buy.”

“Brother, can I also have a bag? It’s only 800. Not really that expensive.”

“………….Buy.”

“Brother, I would like a pair of sunglasses and also, you are now a famous author; you will need one too. This is a unisex design. One for you and one for , okay?”

“……………..Buy.”

Outside the mall, the three sisters had theirs arms full and took the subway ho.

Zhang Ye’s mouth complained, but he did not feel sorry at all. He was more capable now, so taking care of his little sisters was the normal thing to do. He was really not feeling sorry, only that his heart was bleeding a little. This trip had cost him over 10,000. The blood was splashed all over!

These three prodigal won!

I will definitely not let them enter the door in the future!

Wearing his new sunglasses, Zhang Ye wandered around in the streets. He walked until he ca upon a large 4S shop. (4S – Sales, spare parts, service, survey. An integrated auto shop.) Zhang Ye no longer wanted to buy a house. Although he was usually stingy, there were things that he wanted only the best of. For example: a house. He couldn’t buy a large one with only five million. It wasn’t too bad where he stayed now, so why not be a little cautious? But a car? That he had the capability to buy. It would be more convenient and besides, he will be starting work at the TV station in a few days, either as a guest or a host of a show. If he were to continue taking public transport, that would sowhat be belittling his status.

He went inside.

A female shop assistant ca over, “Sir, which price range of a car would you like to look at?”

“Show around. I want to see if there’s any I like, thank you.” Zhang Ye had a passion for cars. He was a man, after all. He was all excited since stepping foot in here.

“Sure. This way, please.” The female shop assistant in her high heels said, “What do you think of this sedan model? It’s an imported Reizi, top of the range. 4T, and is selling very well right now.”

Reizi?

What the hell was that brand!

Zhang Ye waved his hands, “I don’t really like it.”

“How about this model? It’s a J-Bond, imported from Europe. It’s a seven seater, very suitable for the family outings. It is very spacious. It’s also very suitable for businesses.” The shop assistant introduced.

J-Bond?

Why don’t you call it a Durex instead!

Zhang Ye continued to shake his head. He was not interested in this world’s new car manufacturers. Although these brands may not be “new”, Zhang Ye still had totally no concept of them. He still preferred the manufacturers of his old world, maybe because he was nostalgic, or because he was used to them. Or maybe even because those were the only things that reminded Zhang Ye that he did not truly belong in this world.

Eh! He saw it!

BMW! There’s “Don’t Touch ” (Bie Mo Wo) over here, too!

Upon going further over to the other side, he saw the logo of rcedes-Benz, too!

There weren’t many brands that this shop was selling, so he could only find two brands that were exactly the sa as the ones back in his world, “What about the BMW?” He wanted to know whether BMW was also a high-end manufacturer here.

The female shop assistant blinked, “BMW is an international brand, but it’s quite expensive.” She looked at Zhang Ye’s dressing, obviously thinking that Zhang Ye could not afford it.

“Can you tell more about it?” Zhang Ye didn’t mind.

The female shop assistant said okay and pointed at one of them, “This is the BMW 3 series, recomnded selling price is 320,000, but there’s a promotion right now and the price is lower by 10,000. This is the BMW 5 series…..”

After understanding the situation, Zhang Ye found out that the BMW here and the BMW from his world were almost exactly the sa. The models, configurations, exterior and interiors were hardly different. He was imdiately relieved. He thought about it, and felt that he was more inclined towards BMW’s SUVs. They were larger, more stable and looked more impressive!

If he was buying, make it a good one!

X5 or X6? Which is better?

X6 look more stylish. It was sportier. X5 was much more stable and had an air of dominance.

Zhang Ye eyes swept over them several tis. He had taken fancy to the X5. He pointed to the X5 far away at the display window, “How much is that?”

The female shop assistant hesitated slightly, “That model is not a conventional X5. You should be referring to the one over here.” She pointed at an exactly sa looking black X5 beside her, “This one with a lower configuration is 804,000. There is ready stock available.”

Zhang Ye said, “The two are not the sa, right?”

The female shop assistant smiled wryly “They look the sa, but the one you pointed out earlier, that’s the bulletproof version of the X5. It’s the current year upgraded version of the bulletproof X5. The recomnded selling price is 4,720,000. With a full configuration, it would be slightly above 5,000,000. It’s the most expensive BMW model here.”

Bulletproof vehicle?

Upgraded version?

There’s even the bulletproof X5 in this world?

When Zhang Ye heard that, he got excited. They had this over in his world, too. It was also released this year. He rembered that when he was lucky enough to have a ticket to see the International Security Equipnt Expo at the Conference Center, a promotional video for the X5 bulletproof vehicle caught his attention. He swore at that ti that if he ever beca a superstar, he would buy one for himself. Now that his dream was right before his eyes, Zhang Ye was trembling!

Five million?

Zhang Ye clenched his teeth and forced himself to point toward the armored vehicle, “I will take that!”

“Ah?” The female shop assistant was dumbfounded, “Are you sure about that?”

“I am very sure. Do you have available stock?” Zhang Ye inquired.

“There’s no available stock, you have to place a reservation. We have to transfer the stock from another location. You can collect the car in about two days. It doesn’t take too long.” The female shop assistant, upon realising that Zhang Ye was serious about buying, beca excited, too. This was the most expensive car in their shop and had been on display for several months without selling, even though there were a lot of curious viewers. She wouldn’t have thought that a car worth over five million would be sold by her, a rookie employee. She felt happy to death about the successful sale!

“Okay, then I will pay the deposit first. Please expedite the transfer of the car.” Zhang Ye exhilaratingly followed the shop assistant to make his paynt.

This world’s right to obtain a license plate was also through a lottery. At least, the machine that did it was stricter than Zhang Ye’s world. The probability was very tiny, but there was a governnt policy that if any local family did not have any mber who had a car under their na, they did not need to participate in the lottery the first ti they bought a car. As such, Zhang Ye fulfilled that criteria.

Translator’s Note: Zhang Ye buying a bulletproof car was foreshadowed in Chapter 5, “Rolls Royce car? Can you not be so humorous!? Can you really not be so humorous!? If I don’t sit in a bulletproof car when I go out, what happens if I get targeted for assassination?”
