Chapter 731 — Parking Conflict: "Hmm, Where Is It?" Wei Zhao Asked
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"It's at 528 Changdong Avenue. The development is called Changxiang Garden - you can't miss it when you get there," Fatty Lai said.
"All right, go ahead with what you're doing. I'll head over shortly and give you a call once I've picked a floor plan," Wei Zhao said.
After hanging up, Wei Zhao turned to Tang's mother. "Auntie, we'll go pick out a unit first. Once we've settled on a floor plan, I'll see if I can get someone to knock a little more off the asking price."
"Even more of a discount? Oh, that's wonderful!" Tang's mother loved a bargain, and hearing Wei Zhao say this, she brightened instantly. She had already heard that the development was running a promotional campaign for its grand opening - and if further reductions were possible on top of that, how could she not be overjoyed?
She liked Wei Zhao more and more. If her daughter ended up with him, she'd never have to worry about a thing for the rest of her life.
The three of them climbed into Wei Zhao's van and set off for Changdong Avenue. Though Wei Zhao's vehicle was nothing to write home about, to Tang's mother it was good enough - out here in the shantytown, how many people owned a car?
"Tang Zhi, you asked for the day off, right?" Skipping class had become a habit for Wei Zhao, but Tang Zhi was a good student who rarely missed a single day.
"There was a poisoning incident at school yesterday, so there are no regular classes today. The chairman of the Gu Corporation is holding a press conference, and a lot of students and parents are going, so the school has everyone in self-study for now..." When Tang Zhi mentioned the chairman of the Gu Corporation, she found herself thinking of Gu Mengyao. What Gu Mengyao had shown her the day before was none of the bad habits one expects from rich kids - she was a little proud, perhaps, but not at all difficult to get along with.
Changxiang Garden sat in a prime location. Changdong Avenue was one of the new third-ring roads completed this year, so on its very first day of sales, Changxiang Garden drew crowds of eager buyers. The lot in front of the sales office was already packed with cars.
Wei Zhao finally spotted an open space and eased the van in, when a burst of urgent horn blasts erupted from behind him, along with a man's foul-mouthed bellowing: "Where'd this piece of shit van come from? I had my eye on this spot first - how did you snatch it away? Motherfucker, back it out right now!"
Wei Zhao frowned and stepped out of the van, only to see a bald man sticking his head out of a BMW parked right behind him, cursing up a storm.
"Watch your mouth. You don't want to bring trouble on yourself," Wei Zhao said, giving him an indifferent glance.
"Fuck you - drive some piece-of-shit van and you think you're somebody?" The bald man hadn't expected Wei Zhao to talk back, let alone threaten him, and flew into a rage. "Do you think I won't run you over?"
With that, the bald man started his engine and lurched the BMW forward at Wei Zhao - though of course he was only trying to scare him. As for actually running him down, he wouldn't dare! After all, killing someone in front of all these witnesses would bring him nothing but grief.
By then he'd probably be rotting in a prison cell. He might have money, but sorting out a thing like that was no easy matter.
Wei Zhao smiled faintly. The instant the BMW lunged forward, he lashed out with a kick, slamming his boot into the hood of the car. The BMW screeched to a halt.
The bald man nearly jumped out of his skin. Someone could stop a car with a kick? What kind of person was this? A wave of unease washed over him - though he liked to throw his weight around, when he ran into someone this tough he didn't dare push his luck. Push too hard and he'd end up getting beaten.
