Chapter 140: Thought it was an underestimation, but it turned out to be an accidental intrusion into
Li Daming first frowned, then sighed.
He had to admit that Wu Meimei was no less capable than any man.
Five percent was exactly the bottom line he could accept.
"I prepared a lot of arguments, but I didn't expect it to end so quickly with you. Sister Wu, I'm impressed. Okay, five percent it is."
Wu Meimei said politely, "Thank you, Brother Li."
"No need for thanks, this has been a pleasant collaboration."
"In that case, let's meet with our business partners tomorrow. It's actually a real problem that you don't have a car, Ms. Wu."
"Doing business is different from simply growing vegetables and selling them in the county town."
"Whether this deal can be closed or not, the type of car you drive is a very important factor."
"If you're too bad, the other party will immediately see you as someone of low status and will deliberately make things difficult for you when discussing cooperation. This is especially true for a woman as beautiful as you, Wu, who will encounter even more trouble."
"But if you drive a good enough car, or even better than the other person, then they will treat you very politely. That's the reality in this circle."
Zhang Changlian nodded in agreement.
"Sister Wu, this is what I came for."
"My brother said that the village owes Cheng Qi a debt of gratitude, so we must not let you, Wu Meizi, be bullied by outsiders."
"My brother originally wanted to lend you his car, but Daming said that the boss we're going to work with this time drives a Porsche worth over 700,000 yuan, so my brother's sedan worth around 100,000 yuan wouldn't be of any use."
"So, I came here to advise you to have Xiao Ning talk to your son-in-law and ask him to lend you his Mercedes."
Li Daming continued, "This time it's a big boss, so I have to be polite to him. After discussing it with Chang Lian and the village chief, the safest way is to ask Xiao Ning's boyfriend for help."
Wu Meimei looked troubled.
She didn't want to trouble Lu Ran. Even when she went to Chengjiang before, she would contact a ride-hailing service first before telling her daughter, just to avoid troubling Lu Ran to pick her up.
Even though she knew Lu Ran was willing, she didn't want him to run around for her.
Her daughter already owed Lu Ran enough. If she, as the mother, continued to trouble him, it would inevitably make Lu Ran unhappy in the future.
"Wu, I know your personality, but Lu is still Xiao Ning's boyfriend. It's perfectly normal to ask him for help, right, Xiao Ning?"
As Zhang Changlian spoke, she looked up and smiled at Cheng Ning.
Cheng Ning pursed her lips and said, "Me, him..."
On this point, Cheng Ning shared the same thought as her mother: she didn't want to trouble Lu Ran.
A few days ago, when she went to Lu Ran's house, she didn't dare to tell Lu Ran about the difficulties her mother was facing, because she knew that if she told him directly or indirectly, Lu Ran would definitely take action.
"Ugh, you two, really!"
Zhang Changlian sighed helplessly.
Li Daming shook his head and said, "Sister Changlian, perhaps that young man Lu Ran has his own difficulties."
"After all, he's only in his early twenties. Even if his family is wealthy, there are many things that a young man in his mid-twenties can't decide."
"I gave Wu a million last time, but she hasn't come back since. Maybe she's already having a fight with her family."
Li Daming came here for two purposes.
First, he wanted Wu Meimei to ask Lu Ran for help in closing the deal so he could get the 5% profit.
Secondly, if Lu Ran can't do it, it means he's not as capable as he appears. Then he can slowly put pressure on Wu Meimei, letting her know the difficulties of doing business. When the distribution rights are selected next time, no one will be able to compete with him.
"Whose relative is this? Driving such a nice car!"
As soon as Li Daming finished speaking, he noticed that Zhang Changlian was staring at the roadside in surprise.
Everyone turned to look at the roadside, where an extremely luxurious car slowly drove up. Even without seeing the logo, its unparalleled prestige was immediately apparent.
Apart from Cheng Ning, everyone present was filled with surprise and shock.
"It's in, it's in? Miss Wu, is she a relative of yours?"
Before Wu Meimei could answer, Lu Ran and Hu Wen got out of the car one after the other after it came to a stop.
Upon seeing that it was Lu Ran, Zhang Changlian and Li Daming stared wide-eyed, seemingly unable to believe it was real.
Lu Ran greeted everyone present with a smile.
They then introduced Hu Wen, saying she was Cheng Ning's classmate and had come to visit Cheng Ning.
Aside from matters of the heart, Lu Ran is quite adept at interpersonal relationships and social graces.
"Xiao Lu, this...this car, is it yours?"
Zhang Changlian swallowed hard and asked.
Lu Ran shook his head: "No."
Zhang Changlian and Li Daming breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.
That must be Cheng Ning's classmate. She looks like an ordinary girl, but she's actually quite capable.
"It belongs to Cheng Ning."
"Ahem, yes, whose is it?"
Li Daming choked and asked in surprise.
If it were Lu Ran's, he could barely accept it; at most, he had misjudged Lu Ran and failed to recognize Lu Ran's true strength.
But Lu Ran said it belonged to Cheng Ning, which shocked him so much that it was as if he had heard the most unbelievable thing in the world.
Lu Ran nodded: "The ownership was transferred last year, and the current owner of the car is Cheng Ning."
Li Daming asked incredulously, "You mean, you bought a Rolls-Royce Phantom and gave it to Cheng Ning?"
"It's not really a gift. Mine is hers. Anyway, I have a lot of cars, and they're just sitting there. So I gave my Cheng Ning one specifically, so it's more convenient for her to go out."
Li Daming twitched his lips.
Thinking to myself, "Child, do you want to listen to what you're saying?"
Let alone ordinary rich kids, even top-tier tycoons have never seen anyone give a car of this caliber to their girlfriend, let alone their wife.
Li Daming gradually realized that he had not underestimated Lu Ran, but had accidentally stumbled into the Tian family's territory.
Wow, that's incredibly generous! People really are different.
When he saw Lu Ran give Wu Meimei a million yuan, he couldn't believe that anyone in the world would give so much for so-called feelings.
But now people are giving away luxury cars worth tens of millions of dollars, and they don't even care. This is simply outrageous.
Although Zhang Changlian didn't know the exact price of the car, she could tell from its appearance and Li Daming's expression that it was definitely not cheap.
After calming down, she thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Ning, you're really something. Why didn't you say you had such a nice car sooner? If you had, we wouldn't have been so conflicted."
"If your mother drives this car to a business meeting, she'll definitely be treated with great respect."
"Me." Cheng Ning didn't know how to answer. After all, in her opinion, these things were given to her by Lu Ran, and she couldn't use them without Lu Ran's permission.
Wu Meimei naturally understood her daughter's feelings.
She smiled and said, "Sister Zhang, this is from Lu Ran for Xiao Ning."
"Sigh, why do you all have to be so particular about dividing things up?"
Just then, another luxury car drove into the yard.
"S680?"
Li Daming was already somewhat numb. What was going on with the Cheng family? They knew so many big shots!
