High School Belle Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 536 - 238: Speed Dating Sideline Earns Six Hundred

Ning Hao can’t control his own life, nor does he have the courage to do so.

He doesn’t dare to guarantee how well his future will turn out, nor does he dare to say he will definitely make money. He doesn’t even know what he’ll do in the next moment.

He can only listen to others’ arrangements; what others think he should do is what he should do.

When scolded by elders, he can only hang his head low.

"Haohao, how much did you spend on this car?"

Ning Hao hesitantly said, "Three hundred and fifty thousand."

"What?"

Ning Hao’s parents were shocked, not knowing where their son got so much money from.

And the relative who arranged the match was cursing furiously, "Ning Hao, you wastrel, you spent three hundred and fifty thousand on this?"

At this point, Ning Hao’s dad said, "Uncle, no matter what, it’s a new car, maybe the young people just like it."

"Alright, then I’ll go call them over, but you have to find the driver."

"Okay, okay, okay..."

Very soon, Ning Hao went inside to face his parents’ interrogation.

Where did the money come from.

Why didn’t he inform the family when buying a car.

A series of questions that Ning Hao answered honestly.

When his parents heard that Ning Hao earned four hundred and forty thousand, they were so surprised their mouths couldn’t close.

But after hearing that there was only ninety thousand left now, they were full of regret.

Ultimately, they are parents, and Ning Hao having ninety thousand already made them quite content.

The family had saved over a hundred thousand over the years, and borrowing a bit more would basically gather enough.

After chatting, Ning Hao’s mom said, "His second brother just returned from the city, he can drive, later I’ll bring a pack of cigarettes to him, and ask him to drive us to Jiangbei."

Ning Hao immediately said, "Mom, no need, I’ve already asked someone to help."

"Who else do you know?"

"It’s the people from the company that sold me the car, they helped deliver the car, it’s not far away, I just mentioned it to them."

"Wouldn’t that be expensive?"

Many people think that asking friends for help is the most cost-effective, while hiring others to drive is very expensive.

In reality, the cost of asking friends for small favors is far higher.

Unless they are those who don’t mind going out of their way, truly willing to help family and friends, otherwise the cost is far higher than hiring strangers.

"Mom, they’re not charging anything, it’s a complimentary service with the car."

"No charge? That’s fine then."

...

Ning Hao only realized after asking that Extreme Shadow Cars had great patience with customers.

He offered to pay, but they declined.

Such a tireless work ethic, only Li Yang could have such an approach, right? In any other company, making such little profit on a car, would they be willing to treat customers like they’re their parents?

Ten minutes later, Zhang Mengyu returned with her colleague, communicated with Ning Hao for a bit, and understood what needed to be done next.

A few minutes later, Ning Hao’s relative, part-time matchmaker, brought a woman over.

About twenty-six or twenty-seven, wearing heavy makeup.

After counting the number of people, Ning Hao’s mom said, "Haohao, this car doesn’t have enough seats. How about your dad and I don’t go, and you take Qianqian to Jiangbei for a bit?"

Next to them, Zhang Mengyu said, "Uncle and Aunt, my colleague has a car, maybe you could ride in her car?"

Ning Hao’s parents were in a daze, thinking this couldn’t be a driver their son hired, could it?

Why else would they be so generous, offering their own car for them to use?

They couldn’t accept such goodwill from others.

Privately, Ning Hao compared his matchmaking date to Zhang Mengyu and found no comparison at all.

His matchmaking date’s heavy makeup couldn’t hide the sallow skin and mean look in her eyes.

As for temperament? What temperament?

He’s not blind, just introverted. All those memes online, doesn’t he know them?

But rural matchmaking is like this, as long as she can make money and have children, nothing else matters.

Nobody cares if she’s kept, or selling herself outside. As long as you marry, there’s dignity saved. Relatives won’t mock you over it.

Otherwise, come New Year, those relatives could tear your face off.

Just like that, the arrangement was set.

Zhang Mengyu drove Ning Hao and his matchmaking partner, while the matchmaker sat in the front seat.

Zhang Mengyu’s colleague took Ning Hao’s parents.

Once in the car, the matchmaker started telling the woman all of Ning Hao’s faults, saying he spent over three hundred thousand on such a car, and that after the marriage, she must control the finances tightly, to prevent Ning Hao from wasting money.

Ning Hao stayed silent, feeling very apologetic.

After all, Zhang Mengyu was from Extreme Shadow Cars, being criticized like that by his relative.

The woman’s expression was not good. After listening for a while, she directly asked Zhang Mengyu, "Can this car of your company’s be returned?"

In her view, spending three hundred and fifty thousand on an off-brand car was disgraceful.

Ning Hao’s money was basically her money, right?

Even up to this point, she hadn’t exchanged many words with Ning Hao.

Zhang Mengyu replied, "If Mr. Ning wants to return it, it can definitely be done."

The woman immediately lit up, turning to Ning Hao, "Ning Hao, quickly return the car so we can get a BMW."

"I... I..." Ning Hao hesitated.

"I’m doing this for your good. These domestic cars depreciate by tens of thousands in just a year. Imported cars are better, not only in performance but they also hold their value."

"I... don’t want to return it."

Ning Hao ultimately made a decision.

This car, to him, was more of an emotional refuge.

He couldn’t fight his destiny, but this car was his final fantasy.

He knew if he told his family, they would definitely not allow him to buy it.
