Chapter 1251: About to Go

Mi Lai came alone, even wearing well-fitting suit pants, stepping on small leather shoes, and wearing a medium-long-sleeved white shirt on her upper body.

She walked in, standing there prettily, smiling brilliantly: "I'm here to work."

Wang Yan nodded with a smile, waved his hand, let her stand aside, and he continued to speak. After talking for another ten minutes, he ended the weekly meeting.

"Oh, our shop has also ushered in spring." As soon as it dispersed, Pighead laughed.

"Then are you welcoming or not welcoming?"

"That's definitely welcoming, and very enthusiastically."

While speaking, Pighead also applauded.

Huazi also applauded: "Free labor delivered to the door, can we not welcome it."

Wang Yan laughed: "I really haven't seen anyone actively working for free, and so enthusiastic."

"You three are bosses, give a little, right? I provide labor, can't really let me work for free, right? Then I'll sue you, you ignore labor law." Mi Lai also laughed, saying joking words.

Wang Yan shook his head between laughter and tears: "Provide meals, provide wine."

"That's about it." Mi Lai nodded with satisfaction. "What do I do? Arrange tasks for me."

"Huazi, give her a copy of our materials, let her learn."

Wang Yan looked at Mi Lai. "Everything is in the materials. When a client comes, you take the materials and flip through them. If it really doesn't work, you give the materials to the client and let him look at them himself, and you say good things on the side."

"Aren't you taking me?"

"I have to go run for loans in the morning, drink a little with people at noon to maintain relationships, and come back in the afternoon."

"Didn't you already borrow two million? Can you still borrow it?"

"Doing things has methods, speaks of means, things are done by people."

"Then I'll go with you, I'll be your secretary. When I go out, people look, how much face? The evaluation of your strength will be even higher, maybe borrow a few hundred thousand more." Mi Lai puffed out her meager chest, quite confident.

Wang Yan looked at her chest and raised his eyebrows at Mi Lai, the meaning self-evident.

Mi Lai was not shy, but instead puffed out more unconvinced, her waist bent thirty degrees. "Who stipulated that it must be big? Am I not beautiful? Are my legs not long?"

"Hey, hey, hey, is this something we brothers can listen to?" Pighead laughed. "You're really not an outsider."

Mi Lai laughed, walked to Wang Yan who was sitting there, and put her arm on Wang Yan's shoulder: "We're all our own people, what's the matter?"

Shaking his head between laughter and tears, Wang Yan said: "Alright, if you want to go, follow, as long as you don't find it boring."

"It won't be more boring than I am now, right?" Mi Lai didn't care.

"You say that, there's no problem."

Wang Yan nodded. "Then let's go, first go to the repair shop to take a look, and after that, it'll be about time."

Just like that, Wang Yan drove his Santana wagon, Mi Lai in the passenger seat, and started a day of work and life...

This day, Mi Lai lived quite fulfilling and happy, and she also discovered more of Wang Yan's charm.

Wang Yan always wore a confident smile, always made people feel reliable, what he said always made people feel reasonable, and when he was humorous, it also made people laugh out loud. Facing a hooligan who looked like he had turned over a new leaf, he was bold and unrestrained; facing some so-called elites with culture and high quality, he was confident and dashing, talking about the world and discussing the past and present with people.

He lightly handled the loans and made new friends.

Even if someone was obviously very annoying, Wang Yan could resolve some contradictions in a few words, and make people feel ashamed and inferior.

This made Mi Lai feel like she had discovered a new world...

"I'm really convinced, so willing to work, why don't you go and do it for me for two days?" Listening to Mi Lai's harvest of the day, Yang Xiaoyun was speechless.

"Your work is so boring, sitting for a day. I'm so good at Brother Yan's place, seeing many people, and it's interesting, very fun."

"How is it, are you planning to work until you go abroad?"

Mi Lai smiled happily: "Anyway, it's boring, you go to work every day, and my college classmates are all working, and they don't have time to pay attention to me. Now it's so good, I can learn sales skills, live a fulfilling life every day, and have Brother Yan, Huazi and others talking to me."

"You're really something."

Yang Xiaoyun curled her lips and said to Wang Yan, "Brother Yan, you exploit her severely, let her feel the difficulty of our working people."

"Saying as if I'm a capitalist, and exploiting." Wang Yan shook his head between laughter and tears. "Why don't you keep her company, I'll exploit you too."

"Forget it, she has no worries about food and clothing, I can't compare."

"So we have to struggle." Huazi was very willing to struggle...

Mi Lai thus became an extra-staff employee of the car dealership, coming to work early every day, very motivated. When working, she followed Wang Yan, and occasionally received customers alone. Don't say, she really sold them, which made her happier and more active. The whole person radiated new vitality and was very energetic.

Twenty-four hours a day, fifteen hours were spent with Wang Yan, regardless of whether it was a rest day. After all, as bosses, Wang Yan, Pighead, and Huazi had no holidays. If they had something to say, they wouldn't come, but basically there was nothing, and they worked every day.

Other employees had single holidays, concentrated on Tuesday to Thursday, and did not rest during major holidays. Zhou Yi is for meetings to arrange tasks, Friday is to make appointments for customers to see cars on Saturday and Sunday, and the same for major holidays.

Mi Lai is experiencing life, of course, following Wang Yan's side.

In fact, Mi Lai working in the car dealership, although Wang Yan didn't give money, actually spent no less. Lunch box meals don't count, dinner is to go out to eat, today go to a restaurant, tomorrow go to a bar, the day after tomorrow eat barbecue, the day after that go singing, all consumed by Wang Yan.

Of course Mi Lai doesn't care, she wanted to pay many times, but every time Wang Yan had already settled in front.

And at dinner, Huazi would go at first, but later he wouldn't. Yang Xiaoyun would also follow every other day. Mainly she couldn't stand the life of playing until eleven or twelve at night every day, sleeping at one or two, and going to work the next day.

So most of the time it was Wang Yan and Mi Lai playing everywhere, playing quite happily, at least Mi Lai was no longer dying to live, and the smile of the past returned to her face...

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. This day, Saturday.

Long Teng used car business is doing bigger and better. In just two months, it has reached a scale of nearly 100 cars from the original dozen. The company's personnel also reached nearly 30 from the beginning of three, mainly manpower in the repair shop. The circulation of nearly 100 vehicles, the inspection, maintenance, repair, etc., requires not small manpower.

Correspondingly, it is the debt that is higher than the day.

Everything is like flowers and brocade, cooking oil with fire. Once the car market fluctuates, they will break the healthy cash flow, and the debt will be overwhelming. Pighead and Huazi are already trembling with fear, and their little hearts really can't bear it.

However, Wang Yan still did not stop the pace of expansion, still continuing to roll the snowball and grow...

All of this, Mi Lai saw in her eyes. She was surprised at Wang Yan's ability, and also surprised at Wang Yan's courage, but her family assets are over 100 million, she really has no more feelings, this is still what her father said, saying Wang Yan is a talent.

She was just happily following Wang Yan, happily doing work. But in a month's time, she was familiar with various situations of vehicles, learned some observation, learned to figure out customer psychology, which made her feel quite a harvest and growth.

Of course, for her, this is also secondary, mainly she enjoys this process, she feels fulfilling, feels meaningful...

"No rescue, I see she really went in, sure enough, people are different."

Yang Xiaoyun lay on the table, supporting her chin, looking at Mi Lai who was chatting and laughing with customers outside. "Brother Yan, look at her now, where is there any look of dying to live before? It's like two different people."

Wang Yan laughed: "Better than dying to live."

"Still you have a way, it's really killing two birds with one stone, solving Mi Lai's emotions, restoring a good mood, and letting her work for you for free, and she's a great beauty, the employees in the shop feel good looking at her."

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled. Yang Xiaoyun is still too shallow. Killing two birds with one stone? Why can't it be three?

However, he didn't say much, but chatted with Yang Xiaoyun, chatting very happily, just listening to Yang Xiaoyun laughing out loud.

After a while, Mi Lai sent the customer away, walked over with a smile on her face and sat down: "Sold another one, the eighth one."

"Good, sure enough, a sales genius, you should continue to study in my place, and also become a sales legend."

"Working for you for free all the time? Thinking beautifully." Mi Lai hummed, then said, "But you don't say, Brother Yan, I'm really a bit reluctant."

"There is no banquet that doesn't end in the world, reluctant is just for a while. When you get to the United States, you'll be crazy and won't have this mind."

Yang Xiaoyun nodded in approval, and said to Mi Lai: "You're going out for a long time, don't forget your good friends."

"I'm not that kind of person, when I get there, the first thing is to mail you some specialties."

"Don't be too expensive, I can't bear it." Yang Xiaoyun laughed.

Several people chatted for a while, and when it was eleven o'clock, Huazi, who went out to do things, came back, and everyone left together to eat dinner.

This is the last meal to see Mi Lai off to go abroad, Sunday night's flight. Before leaving, friends with increasingly good relationships ate and drank together to be happy.

Wang Yan, Huazi, Mi Lai, and Yang Xiaoyun, the four of them, the relationship is indeed getting better and better, in the past month, they are the ones who have been in close contact... ===== CHAPTER 1252 =====

Huazi recounted what had happened, repeated the words Mi Lai had used to curse Lu Tao—about him needing to be reborn eight times—and said, "It's not me, your buddy, cursing you; I'm just repeating Mi Lai's original words."

"That's enough out of you, we all know each other well enough," Lu Tao said irritably. "As for this matter, it's true that I was in the wrong, and it's true that I let Mi Lai down."

"I also let Mi Lai down," Xia Lin chimed in.

Lu Tao continued, "The point is, when love comes, you can't stop it; I couldn't control myself. Knowing that Mi Lai is doing well now, I can finally rest easy."

At this moment, Xiang Nan suddenly said, "Hey, do you guys think Mi Lai has taken a liking to Brother Yan?"

The other three didn't speak. After a moment of silence, Lu Tao clicked his tongue and threw a napkin he'd used to wipe his mouth at Huazi: "Say something. You're the one closest to them, don't you know?"

Huazi frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know. Anyway, from what I see every day, I don't feel like there's anything different. Besides, Mi Lai is a really good girl; she was truly hurt deeply this time, and I doubt she has the heart to think about these romantic entanglements for the time being."

He glanced at the energetic and eager Xiang Nan and scoffed, "It's not that I'm lecturing you, Xiang Nan, but even if Mi Lai really did get together with Brother Yan, you and Yang Xiaoyun wouldn't have a chance. She isn't interested in you at all. How many times do I have to say it for you to understand?"

"I'll say it again: sincerity can move mountains, and a good woman is afraid of a persistent suitor. I just haven't had the opportunity; if I were given the chance, even if she were a stone, I, your buddy, could warm her up."

Xiang Nan put his arm around Huazi's shoulder, "Huazi, I'm giving you a mission: keep a close eye on the emotional state of the three of them, report back to me at any time, and I'll strike with precision and win her over in one go."

He reached out, clenched his fist in the air, looking solemn and full of confidence.

"No, what kind of pipe dream are you having?" Huazi said. "Mi Lai is going abroad to study in half a month. By then, Brother Yan will be one-on-one with Yang Xiaoyun. Do you think there's any room for you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiang Nan seemed like a deflated balloon; he slumped down and drank his wine in silence.

Lu Tao had a drink with Xiang Nan and smiled: "Actually, if Mi Lai can break free from my influence and start her own new life, no matter who it's with, I wish her well—sincerely wish her well."

"I wish her well too; after all, Mi Lai and I are also very close friends," Xia Lin sighed. "I don't want these things to affect the friendship between her and me either. There was really no other way; Lu Tao and I fell in love at first sight, we hit it off, and neither of us could control it. I can only apologize to Mi Lai; if there's a chance in the future, we will definitely make it up to her."

After she finished speaking, she raised her glass to toast Lu Tao, they looked at each other and smiled, and the two of them drank their sweet wine.

Huazi's face contorted; the two of them were speaking too shamelessly. He also just kept drinking from his bottle to mask his emotions.

Lu Tao said, "By the way, Huazi, you reminded me. When Mi Lai is about to leave, you must tell me. By then, Xia Lin and I will go to see her off together. We don't ask for her forgiveness, and even less for her blessing, but regardless of everything, we were friends once, so seeing her off is the right thing to do. You tell me secretly, and absolutely don't let Mi Lai know, otherwise she'll definitely change her flight."

"If you ask me, you two had better not go."

Xiang Nan said, "Mi Lai hasn't even moved on yet, and you two go flaunting your sweetness in front of her. She's already anxious about going abroad, and this will just make her even more upset."

"We still have to go. Once she goes abroad, who knows if we'll ever have the chance to speak face-to-face again in this lifetime." Lu Tao sighed and also started drinking his sorrows away.

"Alright, alright, you two go be happy, just don't mention Mi Lai. Come, come, let's talk about something happy." Huazi livened up the atmosphere.

He and Xiang Nan talked about Lu Tao's past together and also asked about Xia Lin's situation. Once they started talking about the joys of the past, everyone was laughing and happy again...

Another half a month passed, and it was Saturday.

The business of Long Teng Used Cars was growing bigger and better. In just two months, it had gone from the original dozen or so cars to a scale of nearly a hundred. The company's staff had also grown from the initial three to nearly thirty, with the main manpower still in the repair shop. The turnover of nearly a hundred cars brought about a significant amount of work in vehicle inspection, preparation, and repairs, requiring no small amount of labor.

Corresponding to this was a debt that grew higher with each passing day.

Everything was a scene of prosperity, like oil poured on a roaring fire. Once the vehicle market fluctuated, their healthy cash flow would be cut off, and they would be crushed by debt. Piggy and Huazi were now walking on eggshells; their little hearts really couldn't take much more.

Yet Wang Yan still hadn't stopped his pace of expansion, continuing to roll the snowball and grow...

Mi Lai saw all of this. She was amazed at Wang Yan's ability and his courage, but since her family had assets worth over a hundred million, she really didn't have much more of a reaction. This was even what her dad had said—that Wang Yan was a talent.

She was just happy to be by Wang Yan's side, happily doing her work. In just a month, she had become familiar with all the various conditions of the vehicles and had also learned to read people and guess the psychology of customers, which made her feel she had gained quite a bit and grown.

Of course, to her, this was secondary; mainly, she enjoyed the process. She felt fulfilled and felt it was meaningful...

"She's beyond saving. I think she's really gotten into it. Sure enough, people are just different."

Yang Xiaoyun lay on the table, resting her chin on her hands, watching Mi Lai chatting and laughing with a customer outside. "Brother Yan, look at her now, where is there any sign of her previous 'do-or-die' attitude? She's simply like a different person."

Wang Yan smiled, "It's still better than being 'do-or-die'."

"You really have a way. It's truly killing two birds with one stone: you solved Mi Lai's emotional state and restored her good mood, and you also got her to work for you for free. Plus, she's a great beauty, so the employees in the shop feel good just looking at her."

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled. Yang Xiaoyun was still too shallow. Killing two birds with one stone? Why couldn't it be three?

However, he didn't say much more, but instead started chatting idly with Yang Xiaoyun. They were having a great time, and he just listened to Yang Xiaoyun laugh out loud.

After a while, Mi Lai sent the customer off, walked over with a smile on her face, and sat down: "Sold another one, that's the eighth one now."

"Good, you really are a sales genius. You should continue your advanced studies here with me and become a legendary sales figure."

"Keep working for you for free? Keep dreaming." Mi Lai scoffed, then turned and said, "But you have to admit, Brother Yan, I'm actually a bit reluctant to leave."

"All good things must come to an end. This reluctance is just for now. Once you get to America and start having crazy fun, you won't have these thoughts anymore."

Yang Xiaoyun nodded in agreement and said to Mi Lai, "You're going to be gone for quite a long time, so don't you dare forget your good friends."

"I'm not that kind of person. Once I get there, the first thing I'll do is mail you some local specialties."

"Don't make them too expensive, I can't afford that." Yang Xiaoyun chuckled.

The few of them chatted idly for a while. At eleven o'clock, Huazi, who had been out running errands, returned, and the group left together to go to a restaurant for a meal.

This was the final meal to see Mi Lai off before she went abroad; her flight was on Sunday night. Before her departure, friends whose relationships were becoming increasingly friendly ate and drank together to have a good time.

Wang Yan, Huazi, Mi Lai, and Yang Xiaoyun—the four of them were indeed getting closer and closer. In the last month, they were the ones who had been in close contact...
