Before coming back this ti, Ma Lu had slept for a full three hours in another dinsion, so he was in pretty good spirits.
He played video gas in the living room for a while, and around 3 PM, he received a call from a salesperson, saying they were almost at the entrance of his residential complex.
So, Ma Lu got ready, packed the ingredients into the Collection Bag, and went downstairs with Old Wang.
As they exited the gate of the complex, they saw a black D9 EV600 parked by the roadside.
The salesperson in a suit imdiately greeted them with a smile, "Are you Boss Ma and Boss Wang?"
Ma Lu nodded, "You're Xiao Zhang?"
"Ah, that's ." The salesperson nad Xiao Zhang shook hands with Ma Lu, warmly saying, "I have the honor of handling Boss Ma's test drive today. The vehicle we'll be test-driving is the flagship version of the D9 EV600.
"The process is as follows, first I'll introduce the car to you and Boss Wang, including all its features and functions. Then, you can get in the car for a static experience, and after that, we'll hit the road. I'll drive the first half, and you'll take over for the second half. What do you think?"
"No problem."
"Great, let's get in the car. Please, could you give your driving license? An electronic one is also fine."
After Ma Lu handed over his driving license and signed the test drive agreent, he and Old Wang got into the D9 and started their test drive.
Since Ma Lu hadn't driven a car since getting his license, it was his first ti handling a steering wheel, and he drove rather slowly, getting honked at by trailing cars. Fortunately, he eventually arrived safely at the Universe Infinite Canteen.
As the test drive was quite short, only about twenty minutes, Xiao Zhang even offered to co back in the evening for another trip, driving back from the canteen.
At least the custor service was indeed very impressive. However, these things also depend on the person; the service attitude can vary greatly from one dealership to another or even between different salespeople at the sa dealership.
Ma Lu hadn't forgotten the promise he made to Wei Jingyan. After getting out of the car, he went to Mr. Furball's rental in the neighborhood.
Opening the door of the secondary bedroom, he saw the ragdoll cat clutching an empty bottle of liquor, lying askew on the marble floor of the rental, motionless.
The piercing sll of baijiu lingered on the floor.
Ma Lu's first reaction was that the cat had finally drunk itself to death, because it really looked like it had kicked the bucket, with not even a rise and fall in its chest.
However, when Ma Lu approached to check its breathing, Mr. Furball suddenly sprang up from the ground, mumbling.
"Who, who's trying to steal my Erguotou?!"
"No one's stealing your Erguotou," Ma Lu said. "I just thought sothing might have happened to you, so I ca to check."
"You thought I was dead? No, I was just taking a short rest. Okay, I don't bla you. I can't say that every cat looks dead when taking a rest, but indeed, many of us do look like we're dead while resting."
Mr. Furball paused, "Even a portion of us do indeed end up dead, which is awful. But..."
It changed course, "The good news is that I haven't heard of any kitten being killed by Erguotou, so I think our tribe should be immune to it."
"Anyway, I'm glad you're still alive," Ma Lu said. "Also, regarding your owner Wei Jingyan... I've got so more news on her situation."
"She's not my owner. Like I said, I prefer to call her the intermittent employnt Monkey. But it doesn't matter anymore; what did that crazy woman say this ti?"
"She said she can't live without you... After you disappeared, she hasn't been sleeping well at night, always thinking of you, and actually, she hasn't looked good this whole week," Ma Lu said, "She's been in a daze, just like a walking corpse."
"Ha, I'm not surprised at all," Mr. Furball said, "On the surface, it seems she's the one working outside to support , but in reality, I've always been the one holding up this ho."
"Without , that woman would still have to go out to work, pay rent, endlessly work overti, get scolded by her boss, and compete with colleagues, but my existence gives all that aning.
"She can deceive herself that she's doing it all for , I'm like a beam of light in her miserable life, a little angel with wings."
As Mr. Furball spoke, he lay down and licked the Baijiu off the floor, "But I'm just a middle-aged drunkard lost in a strange world, and she's just a young wage slave.
"We're both crazy, no, maybe it's this world that's gone mad, otherwise why would more and more young people not find their sense of existence... Sorry, I seem to have digressed.
"I do indeed suffer from that illness, the one where I turn into a non-stop philosopher after drinking too much. Could you relay a ssage for to Xiao Yan, tell her I'm not done partying, I don't want to go back yet."
Ma Lu said, "She also ntioned that if you could talk, she would be willing to marry you."
"What? I'm just a little cat, I can't marry a monkey, wait a second... I seem to have indeed said I would marry her before, was I drunk then too?"
Mr. Furball finally stopped licking the leftover Baijiu on the floor and started to think seriously.
"Marriage, for a man, is like a trap."
"I agree," Ma Lu said.
"I agree too."
"Uh... that was you who just said that."
"No, I an I agree to her proposal," Mr. Furball said, "It has indeed been a while since I left ho, it's about ti to return, don't worry, I can still co work at your place after getting married."
"What made you change your mind?" Ma Lu asked curiously.
Stay connected with empire
"I don't know, I'm just a little cat, little cats are hard to figure out, sotis I even fight with my tail, but at the end of the day, we've been living together for nearly a year now."
Mr. Furball sighed, "I don't want to see her sad, if she can't go on living without , then I guess I have to go back to her side, continue to play her little angel, cheering her up.
"But first, we need to make sure whether she still wants to castrate , I absolutely do not want to lose my little buddy."
"How about this," Ma Lu thought for a mont and said, "you co with after the shop closes tonight, I can take you ho, then Old Wang and I will wait outside the door, if Xiao Yan wants to castrate you, just shout out loud, and we will rush in and rescue you.
"I've mastered a very powerful flying knife technique now, there are not many opponents left for in this plane."
"Sounds good, I'll go back with you guys tonight."
Mr. Furball nodded, "I'll confess my identity and origins face-to-face to Xiao Yan, if all goes well, we might just head straight for the registry office."
"That's definitely not going to work," Ma Lu said, "The civil affairs bureau doesn't serve cats."
"Then let's just have a simple engagent ceremony first, I need to find a pair of rings," Mr. Furball mumbled to himself, "I can check the neighbor's windowsill."
"That's theft, if you're really planning to confess tonight, I can lend you so money first."
