Chapter 382: Ezaki Suguha's New Car
“The next station is SHIBUYA”
The train announcement sounded, and Ezaki Suguha came back to her senses a little.
She waited patiently for the people in front of her to rush out first, and then seized the moment when the passengers outside had not yet boarded, and quickly stepped out with agility and dexterity.
Successful.
When did he develop such a skill? Although squeezing into a train is a compulsory course in life for most Japanese people, Suguha Ezaki, who came from a wealthy family, has actually only experienced the feeling of riding a train a few times.
It was not until she broke away from that family and had all ties with them that the tram seemed to become one of her daily means of transportation.
Don't get me wrong, Ezaki Suguha didn't think that taking the train was a bad thing. It's just that the changes she had undergone in the past few months were so great that even she herself had imagined. Is this really what love is like?
"People will become less and less like themselves, but there is no feeling of boredom at all." Suguha Ezaki said softly.
As the escalator continued to ascend, the bright sunlight outside the station also shone through the exit. Ezaki Naoha, carrying her small suitcase, looked around after coming out. When she found the person she was looking for, a gentle smile unconsciously bloomed on her face.
"Suguha, this way."
The other party waved to Ezaki Suguha.
Ayano Yui stood beside him, and after exchanging glances with Ezaki Suguha, she obviously made a face. Was this her special welcome ceremony?
"Haruno, Yui-chan."
As he got closer, the smile on Ezaki Suguha's face gradually faded.
It was close to noon and the flow of people at the station started to increase again. She was not used to being too close to Sawayama Haruno in front of so many people.
But Ayano Yui obviously didn't have this worry. She almost stuck to Sawayama Haruno's arm. When she saw Ezaki Naoha coming over, she immediately said with a smile: "You're too slow, Sister Naoha. I'm starving."
"Sorry, I have an appointment at a restaurant for lunch. Let me treat you as compensation." Ezaki Suguha said in a very light voice.
After receiving this signal, Ayano Yui's eyes suddenly lit up. While Sawayama Haruno was not paying attention, she secretly made a fist to cheer herself up.
Well, if it's just a meal, there's no need for that. Besides, compared to the other people who have part-time jobs and savings at home, Ayano Yui seems to be the one with nothing in her pocket. Ezaki Suguha had never intended to let her treat him.
Because art majors require a lot of money, even though Ayano Yui has the full support of her family and Sawayama Haruno privately subsidizes her living expenses, it is obviously not enough for her to pursue her artistic dream.
Most of Ayano Yui's money was spent on buying drawing paper and paint, and since Ezaki Suguha had basically passed the university entrance examination, naturally she had no place to spend money anymore, especially since she received "sponsorship" from Ezaki Naoto when she returned home this time.
That was an extremely large sum of money, far exceeding the expenses a normal person would need to go to college for four years. Naoto Esaki said on the surface that he wanted to help Suguha Esaki's future studies, but what he actually gave was far more than that.
All in all, Suguha Ezaki won't have to worry about economic problems for a long time in the future. Speaking of which, with Sawayama Haruno around, there's no need to worry, right?
Thinking of this, Ezaki Suguha's thoughts became a little confused. She glanced at Sawayama Haruno who was walking in front and leading the way, and couldn't help but call the other person's name.
"Haruno."
"Ok?"
Sawayama Haruno turned around in confusion when his name was suddenly called, "What's wrong, Suguha?"
"No, I just want to ask what car you plan to buy later?" asked Ezaki Suguha with a little curiosity.
Today is not just about going home. The reason why Suguha Ezaki made a special trip back to Shinjuku is actually to meet up with Haruno Sawayama and others before going to the next place, which is the 4S car shop.
Since he moved to the Minato Ward, the traffic conditions near his new home are not very good, so Sawayama Haruno came up with the idea of buying a car as soon as possible. It happened that he had some free time today, and Suguha Ezaki was also coming back, so he wanted to ask her to go to the car shop together to take a look.
His original intention was actually to ask Suguha Ezaki for some reference. After all, in Sawayama Haruno's opinion, Suguha Ezaki, who came from a prominent family, should have some knowledge of high-end brands, but he was obviously trapped in a misconception.
From childhood to adulthood, Ezaki Suguha has always ridden in high-end business sedans. She doesn't know much about car brands, and she doesn't even have an accurate impression of how much the limousine she rides costs. It is really difficult for her to refer to cars.
"What car to buy? I don't know. I just made an appointment at a Mercedes-Benz store not far from here. I haven't looked at any other stores yet."
Sawayama Haruno touched his chin and said uncertainly: "Don't worry, I don't plan to buy only one car."
"Eh?"
Ayano Yui, who had been holding his arm and walking happily, was suddenly shocked when she heard these words.
"Would you like to buy two, bro?"
"It can't be more than that, right?"
Sawayama Haruno glanced at her hand that was tightly holding his sleeve, and said casually, "Because I want to drive one myself, and then there's Suguha. Didn't Suguha get his driver's license some time ago?"
"I?"
Suguha Ezaki was a little surprised.
She had already completed her driver's license test when Sawayama Haruno was on a business trip to Canada, and she returned to the Ezaki family only after completing the test.
Although she successfully obtained the driver's license, she didn't expect to buy a car so soon, and she didn't expect that Sawayama Haruno planned to give her one directly.
"It's more convenient to have a car, right? And didn't you, Suguha, say you were planning to go to a university farther away in the future?"
Zeshan Haruno turned his head and said with a smile: "It's more convenient to have a car. You can drive back and forth later. But there may be some traffic jams during the evening rush hour. It's up to you."
“Too expensive.”
"Is it expensive? The watch you gave me in Kyoto must be worth a lot too, right?" Sawayama Haruno said with a carefree smile, "Since we are family now, let's not worry about these things. I guess Maki will have to take a driver's license test after she gives birth to the baby, and she will definitely want to buy a car then." All in all, Sawayama Haruno planned to prepare one for everyone in the family. Although it sounded a bit exaggerated, for the sake of fairness, he decided to buy as many cars as he could. After all, he could afford the money.
From the time he participated in the Canadian Annual Conference until now, the subsequent income from copyright taxes has finally arrived.
Even after buying the luxury house in Minato, there was still an astronomical amount of money in Sawayama Haruno's bank card, which was even more than the money that Naoto Esaki left for Suguha Esaki.
As for how to use money, Sawayama Haruno has always been very easy-going. He spends it when necessary. Otherwise, what is the point of working so hard to make money in the first place? If it’s all spent, he can just earn more. It’s nothing more than him working hard for a few months to continue writing the book.
Ayano Yui on the side obviously couldn't understand Sawayama Haruno's thinking. In her opinion, such an action was undoubtedly too wasteful. However, facing Sawayama Haruno who had made up his mind, she also knew that she couldn't persuade him.
"It's too much to buy two at once. Is it too late for me to get a driver's license now?"
"Your age, oh. It seems like you're old enough? Then take the test. I'll buy you one after you pass it." Sawayama Haruno said nonchalantly.
"Great, if I were to buy one, I'd buy an SUV with an extra-large back seat." Ayano Yui's eyes suddenly lit up.
She doesn't like SUVs, but she likes to do some shady things in them, which must be very exciting!
She had secretly watched several videos about SUVs on the Internet before. The kind of car that could remove all the back seats and was big enough to even fit a double soft mattress was her dream car.
It would be best if I could go on a road trip alone with Sawayama Haruno, and then the two of them would sit in the back seat at night.
"Hey, why did you hit me all of a sudden?"
"You're laughing a little too recklessly." Zeshan Haruno looked at her speechlessly and reminded her, "Although I don't intend to interfere too much, you are not allowed to mess around with things like this."
You can guess what Ayano Yui is thinking without having to guess. This guy's brain circuit is highly similar to Miyazawa Mana's only at this time. The only difference is that Miyazawa Maki might like something cooler, and the cooler the color, the more she likes it, that is, the type of sports car?
While they were daydreaming, the three of them had already arrived at the Mercedes-Benz 4S store.
The car purchasing situation in the island country is also different from that in the country of Sawayama Haruno's previous life. Most cars here are very cheap. The only trouble is that the car purchase tax is heavier. However, in the face of many favorable prices, this tax seems less important.
In general, the premium of high-end cars in China is too serious. Except for some mid-range and low-end car brands, or electric cars, other cars basically have serious premiums.
Take the most classic Maybach as an example. It only costs about 40 million yen in the island country. Although it is not the highest-end one, it is not much worse.
If it were in China, and calculated in China's own currency, it would cost around seven or eight million.
Although it is meaningless to convert the value of items all the time when living in different countries, considering that many high-end car models are also sourced from overseas, it makes people feel that it doesn't matter if they convert them.
This was what Sawayama Haruno was thinking at the moment. Looking at the Maybach in the exhibition hall, he couldn't help but complain, "It's so cheap, some are so cheap that I can't believe it."
"Is it cheap?"
This time, both Ayano Yui and Ezaki Suguha couldn't help but turn around and look at him in surprise.
Forty to fifty million yen is a huge sum of money that an average family would need many years of hard work to save. After all, the average person's monthly salary is only around three or four hundred thousand yen.
In most island families, only men work outside the home, and women can only do part-time jobs, and most of their income is less than 300,000.
The salesperson who was following the three of them closely couldn't help but brighten up after hearing Sawayama Haruno's unintentional complaint.
With her many years of work experience, a man who is so young and has two suspected girlfriends is always a rich man among rich men, and judging from his expression, it seems that he wants to buy the Maybach.
"Suguha, do you want to buy it?"
Zeshan Haruno did not respond to the two women's surprise, but pointed to the Maybach in the exhibition hall and said, "Although this car is a bit too big for a novice, it will be fine after you get used to it for a while, right?"
He really wanted to buy it, because after buying it, he could drive it out for a drive occasionally, which would make up for his wish of not being able to afford a luxury car in his previous life.
Besides, Suguha Ezaki was originally a wealthy young lady, and he didn't want to treat her too badly in such a place. After thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with spending a little money just to make her happy.
At worst, I could let her continue to wear the Christmas reindeer costume tonight and compensate myself from other sources?
"No, forget it."
After hesitating for a moment, Ezaki Suguha still rejected what Sawayama Haruno said.
She didn't want to drive such a flashy car and Sawayama Haruno seemed to underestimate the size of the Maybach. For people who drive frequently, this length is naturally nothing, but for a girl who just got her driver's license, such a car must be very difficult to drive.
If possible, she actually prefers a smaller, more feminine car.
In order to prevent Sawayama Haruno from rushing to spend money too impulsively, Ezaki Suguha took two steps forward and whispered her thoughts to the other party.
After noticing this scene, the salesperson nearby couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
It turned out that the gentleman wanted to buy a car for his girlfriend. He was really generous, but the lady actually refused. That was a luxury car worth 40 million. If she bought it, her commission this month would be enough for the previous three months.
"Excuse me, do you have any other models? It would be best if it was suitable for girls and as low-end as possible."
Sawayama Haruno's gentle call brought the absent-minded salesperson back to reality. She immediately put on a professional smile and said, "Yes, there are different car models on the second floor. You can follow me to the VIP room first. There are special car information to introduce you."
Hearing this, Sawayama Haruno nodded, pulled Ezaki Suguha and Ayano Yui and prepared to follow them into the VIP room.
Although they failed to buy the Maybach as they had expected, the salesperson still treated the three of them as guests of honor. Before they even saw the shadow of the car, they had already been served a lot of tea and snacks.
As it turned out, her attentive behavior was not wrong. After Sawayama Haruno confirmed Ezaki Suguha's preferences, he quickly helped her lock on a car and then simply took out his card to pay.
