Chapter 89: 88. So I'm a Second-Generation Demolition Heir?
Since Pang Bo had prepared everything beforehand, the process of selecting cars went quite quickly.
Zhang Sicheng did not have much room for extra choices here; he simply selected a high-end sedan under the guidance of Meng Mingxuan.
Zhang Sicheng knew this car; many company bosses drove this type of vehicle—it was high-end and imposing.
As for Liu Lu and Zhang Siyan, they fell into a state of indecision, not knowing which car would be good to choose.
"Sister-in-law, I think this car is quite suitable for you. It's a MINI, very suitable for women to drive, and the interior is also very nice..." Ning Qing began to recommend cars to Liu Lu.
Liu Lu actually liked this car model too; such a vehicle type was truly very popular among women.
Many women do not look at performance when choosing a car; what they look at for the most part is actually the appearance.
"How much is this car?" Liu Lu asked in a low voice; she had no research on cars and had never thought about buying one herself before.
Ning Qing smiled and said, "It's not expensive, about three hundred thousand. When the time comes, we'll have Pang Bo give a discount, and the final on-the-road price will be just over three hundred thousand."
"Ah, that's so expensive, I don't want this one," Liu Lu said subconsciously.
Hearing her words, Ning Qing was somewhat speechless and pointed to the cars parked outside; the meaning was very clear—those clothes and bags of hers were worth much more than this.
After Ning Qing's reminder, Liu Lu also reacted and felt a bit embarrassed.
An hour later, Zhang Sicheng had chosen a high-end sedan, Liu Lu had chosen a MINI, and Zhang Siyan had chosen a standard, conventional sedan.
As for Zhang Ran himself, he did not buy a car; he still used Meng Mingxuan's car, which was also convenient.
Swiping the card, settling the bill, and registering the license plates were all done in one go.
Because Zhang Ran had already given the heads-up, the processing speed for these things was very fast and didn't take much time at all.
Then they drove home; originally only one car had gone out, but now four cars returned to the house.
After Meng Mingxuan and Ning Qing helped deliver the cars, they left; although Liu Lu had a driver's license, she didn't dare to drive herself.
Zhang Sicheng's driving skills were actually okay, but looking at a car worth one million, he felt somewhat constrained.
Each member of the family carried a large pile of things upstairs, and they greeted some familiar people they encountered.
These neighbors also knew about Zhang Ran's situation; apart from being quite curious at the beginning, they now didn't feel anything special.
Returning home, the two little ones, Zhang Xiaotao and Susu, immediately sprawled on the sofa and didn't move; the two little ones were also quite exhausted today.
Liu Lu went into the kitchen to cook; none of them spoke, quietly waiting for Zhang Ran to speak.
However, Zhang Ran was not in a hurry; he waited until Liu Lu had finished cooking and everyone had started eating before he began to speak.
"Sicheng, Siyan, Xiao Lu, um... how should I put this to you? To put it simply, before my accident, I bought a few properties in Shanghai, Yangcheng, and Beijing—these three places." Zhang Ran looked at their hesitant expressions and weighed his words before saying this.
The three of them, Zhang Sicheng, were blank at first, then immediately reacted.
Nowadays, the first thing people think of when mentioning houses is housing prices, and the second thing is demolition.
Zhang Sicheng processed the information Zhang Ran had mentioned and, after hesitating, said, "You mean... the houses you bought back then were demolished?"
Only this explanation could account for how Zhang Ran was so wealthy.
At the beginning, Zhang Ran had bought them a house, and they thought it was money Zhang Ran had saved up previously, and that there wasn't much left after buying the house.
But after today's crazy shopping spree, they didn't think so anymore.
Calculating roughly today, just on clothes, shoes, bags, and cosmetics alone, the three of them had spent over three million.
When really calculated, the big-ticket items like the cars purchased today were actually the smaller expenses.
It was also because of the day's events that it was easier for them to accept Zhang Ran's explanation; in fact, they were already somewhat numb from the impact of Zhang Ran's spending today.
Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Yes, I received quite a lot of money from the demolition, and when I returned, the state returned the money to me."
After Zhang Sicheng received Zhang Ran's affirmative answer, there was no expression on his face; he just looked at Zhang Ran blankly.
At this moment, he realized that he was actually a second-generation demolition heir!
Zhang Siyan and Liu Lu were the same; they didn't know what to say.
Especially Liu Lu—when she married Zhang Sicheng, she had never thought that she would one day be able to live the life of a wealthy wife; she had married him solely for the person Zhang Sicheng was.
To marry Zhang Sicheng, she had almost fallen out with her family, and the most critical point was that, even now, Zhang Sicheng hadn't even given her family a single cent in bride price.
The Zhang Sicheng of those years could be said to be penniless; he had nothing, let alone houses or cars—even his savings were pitifully small.
But Liu Lu had still resolutely married him.
For so many years, the couple had worked hard together and finally managed to save up a little bit of money.
Even with Zhang Ran's sudden return and his buying a house for her and Zhang Sicheng, she had never thought of getting anything from Zhang Ran.
But now, this suddenly appearing father-in-law told her that their family was actually very wealthy; although Liu Lu didn't know exactly how much money the demolition had yielded, judging from today's shopping, it should be quite a lot.
After Zhang Ran stated the matter, he waited for Zhang Sicheng and the others to ask questions, but as he waited, he only saw the three of them in a daze, along with the sound of the two little ones munching on their food; there was nothing else.
After a long while, Zhang Sicheng said, "But you don't have to be like this; buying so many things is actually completely unnecessary and a waste of money."
"Besides, Lu Lu and I are both working; one car is enough, and I don't need to buy such an expensive car."
"Siyan, on the other hand, is doing business right now and needs to buy a better car."
Zhang Ran heard the meaning in Zhang Sicheng's words and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, I have arrangements for Siyan's matters; there is a reason for buying you such a good car and so many clothes."
Before Zhang Sicheng could say anything, Zhang Ran continued, "You know your company is about to be acquired, right?"
Zhang Sicheng nodded subconsciously, but quickly reacted—how did Zhang Ran know?
Could it be...?
Combining Zhang Ran's actions today and what he had told them, he seemed to have guessed something.
Even Zhang Siyan and Liu Lu were the same.
Sure enough, they then heard Zhang Ran say, "I am the one who acquired this company; the acquisition should be completed the day after tomorrow. When the time comes, you go and sign the papers, and this company will belong to you."
Once these words were out, the three of them were truly stunned; this brought them a greater shock than everything Zhang Ran had done before.
