Chapter 584 Luxury Cars and Ordinary Cars

"Qingqing~ It's time to get off work!"

"By the way~ I have something to do at home and I need to go home, so I won't have dinner together."

In the office, Su Mei looked at the text message she had just received and looked at Liu Qingqing with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

"ah?"

"What's the matter~Are you anxious?"

Liu Qingqing naturally didn't suspect anything, and she even really thought something had happened to Su Mei's family.

"It's nothing urgent. A relative at home is here, and my dad asked me to go home for dinner."

It has been more than a year since she moved from the ivory tower to the social level. Now Su Mei can make up a reasonable excuse at will.

Of course~ She just opened her mouth to use this excuse, but in her heart she was somewhat dissatisfied with the guy who sent the text message.

After all, Su Mei was somewhat dissatisfied with having a single woman help cover up other people's relationships.

Even if the person he is dating is his boss, he still has no regard for the feelings of his employees.

"Oh~ Then I'll call the restaurant to cancel the reservation."

Naturally, Liu Qingqing would not doubt Su Mei. Originally, she and Su Mei had made an appointment to go to a Western restaurant that required reservations in the evening, but now it seems that they can only go there next time.

"It's okay~ I'll just send a text message there."

"You pack up and get off work!"

"By the way, be careful when driving!"

Su Mei curled her lips and canceled the ridiculous restaurant. She decided that she was going to have a big meal tonight and it would be best to have a bottle of good wine.

Anyway, it’s as expensive as it is! And then I’ll ask that damn boss for reimbursement tomorrow!

"Oh~ That's okay!"

"Then I'll leave first!"

Liu Qingqing had no doubt that he was there. She quickly tidied up her desk and left the office.

If it is an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship, if the general leader does not leave, it is definitely impossible for positions such as assistants and secretaries to leave first.

But although Liu Qingqing is working as an assistant, or even just an intern assistant, she has not experienced it personally yet.

Of course, with her status, she doesn't actually have to realize this.

So Su Mei never lets Liu Qingqing work overtime. After all, this is the future boss lady. Who dares to let her work overtime?

After all, her identity is not a secret, the so-called internship assistant is just a name.

Liu Qingqing doesn’t want to leave. Many middle-level managers in the company don’t dare to leave either. If Assistant Liu accidentally mentions someone to the big boss, wouldn’t it be a disaster?

Su Mei is now considered an elite in the workplace, so she understands the twists and turns here very well.

However, the boss Chen Li always emphasized not to squeeze too much out of his employees, so Su Mei would ask Liu Qingqing to leave work on time or even early every day.

For workers, getting off work early is definitely something to be happy about.

So even though she couldn't have dinner with Su Mei today, Liu Qingqing was still in a good mood.

When heading to the parking lot, Liu Qingqing was thinking about what to do for dinner.

It's a pity that it's summer vacation~ Almost all her classmates have gone home. Although she also has local classmates from Yanjing, she is not very familiar with them.

And it might be a little late to make an appointment for dinner at this time.

So ~ Liu Qingqing planned to go to the Ideal Fried Chicken Foreign Languages ​​University store to pack some fried chicken wings, which would be her dinner.

I’m ashamed to say it~ As a member of the foodie province, Liu Qingqing doesn’t know how to cook.

Actually, it’s not that she doesn’t know how to do it. She can actually do simple cooking and so on.

On weekdays, when Chen Li was in Yanjing, she would occasionally fry shredded pork, shredded potatoes, or scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

But there are two problems here. First, her knife skills are not good, and the shredded potatoes are the same as potato strips, so Chen Li usually cuts them and gives them to her to fry.

The second point is that the dishes she cooks are very random.

Hmm. It just tastes good sometimes and bad sometimes!

After all, she has too little time to cook, and she is really not very good at controlling seasonings, heat, etc.

In fact, Liu Qingqing really wanted to learn how to cook before, and she even asked her mother for advice.

But it's a pity that she really has no talent when it comes to cooking. She has memorized all the steps, but in actual operation, she always encounters various problems.

How can I cut vegetables so well? I put too much salt in the cooking, the meat is overcooked, or I just under-cook it, etc.

Later, Liu Qingqing finally understood a truth - she really had no talent in this area.

Even if there are occasionally successful dishes, the taste is completely different from the dishes made by Chen Li.

So~ under Chen Li's repeated dissuasion, Liu Qingqing simply gave up her plan to become a little cook.

This is actually the reason why Liu Qingqing works so hard to improve herself, because since she can't help Chen Li with housework, she should improve herself at work!

However, the disadvantage of this is that when Chen Li is away, she can only solve the food and clothing problem in restaurants outside.

Unless um~ forget it, no unless, because Liu Qingqing is also a snack food herself, and she can't eat the food she made.

Of course, this actually has a lot to do with Chen Li's usual habit of being naughty.

Thinking about food and work in her mind, Liu Qingqing had walked to the parking lot without knowing it.

Liu Qingqing's car is not a luxury car, but an ordinary Santana.

It's not that Chen Li didn't want to spend money on her, in fact she chose the car herself.

After all, she usually drives mainly to go to school and drive a luxury car. This is somewhat exaggerated.

In fact, from here, we can see the ideological generation gap between the generation of Chen Li and Liu Qingqing and those born in the 90s to 00s.

In the eyes of those born in the 1990s, even if they are not willing to deliberately show off their wealth, they may not deliberately hide their shame for the sake of others.

But those born in the 1980s and even generations before that are almost not willing to reveal their financial resources too much.

After opening Santana's car door, Liu Qingqing changed herself into a pair of shoes.

Because of work, Liu Qingqing has recently become accustomed to wearing high heels. Although the heels on her feet are not high, they are still not suitable for driving.

And just when she was about to start the car after changing her shoes, a car suddenly stopped in front of her Santana.

Of course ~ this is a parking lot, so it is very normal for cars to stay.

But the problem was that the car stopped moving in front of her Santana, blocking her in the parking space.

Liu Qingqing waited for a while and found that the other party did not seem to be leaving. She opened the car door and planned to remind the other party to give way.

But when she got out of the car, Liu Qingqing realized that she was very familiar with this car.

Are you not familiar with it? This is basically Chen Li's Cherokee, so she is naturally very familiar with it.

But even at this time, Liu Qingqing did not suspect that the person in the car was Chen Li, because the driver would occasionally drive this car.

Sometimes when the company needs a car, the Cherokee will even be loaned by Su Mei.

Of course, this situation actually only happened from time to time a few months ago. At that time, Chen Li was not as wealthy as he is now, so there were not many shared vehicles between several companies.

As for now, to put it bluntly, Chen Li's Cherokee is not even ranked in the company.

Because now the company's vice-president level is equipped with an Audi, while the general manager is equipped with a clean Mercedes-Benz.

As Chen Li's girlfriend, Liu Qingqing naturally knew that this was because Chen Li had made a lot of money during this period.

Although she didn't know the specific figure, she knew very well that it was a fortune that she might have never dared to imagine in her entire life.

It was precisely because he made so much money that Chen Li, a wealthy man, directly purchased twenty vehicles of various types at one time for the company's use.

Speaking of which, as the big boss of the company, it is actually a bit unreasonable that Chen Li’s current car is still a Cherokee.

However, it is said that Chen Li plans to buy a new car when he comes back this time, because this Cherokee is indeed not worthy of Chen Li’s grade now.

In fact, Chen Li himself didn't care. He didn't have much demand for cars.

It's just that as the boss of several companies, Chen Li often attends some formal occasions. Sometimes, the grade of the car can easily cause misunderstandings to others.

Yes~sometimes, the car~actually represents many things in the eyes of some people.

The most intuitive expression is probably the so-called face!

People who drive ordinary cars naturally don’t have as much face as those who drive luxury cars. Although this is a bit snobbish, it is the most intuitive reflection.

People who drive may not necessarily care that much~ The problem is that people who look at the car will have such thoughts.

In shopping malls, this expression has been greatly expanded.

If a customer comes to discuss business with you, and you send a Santana to pick him up, you will definitely have a different impression on the customer than if you send a Rolls-Royce to pick him up.

This car at this time involves not a simple "face" issue, but a company image issue.

When a customer visits the place and you ask a Santana to pick him up, the customer will first consider that your sincerity for this cooperation may not be enough.

Even a more extreme customer may feel that you don't pay enough attention to him or even look down on him?

But if the person picking him up is a Mercedes-Benz or a Rolls-Royce, then this customer will feel that you are sincere and even think highly of you and your company.

To be honest, this concept is somewhat tacky, but the problem is, this is reality.

At first, Chen Li didn't really care about this thing because he had no need for a car.

Because in Chen Li's view, as long as the company itself has sufficient strength, isn't it the same regardless of the grade of car?

But later, Su Mei, Ren Xiaobo, Deng Weimin and others kept reminding Chen Lizai that he had to pay attention to this issue.

Especially Deng Weimin. When he went out to discuss business, he drove an ordinary domestic car, and the owner of the nightclub felt that he was a liar selling fake wine.

Some time ago, when Chen Li was exchanging cars for several companies under his name, Deng Weimin asked for a Rolls-Royce. At that time, Chen Li felt that Lao Deng was a little too arrogant.

But the day after Deng Weimin mentioned the Rolls-Royce, this guy discussed cooperation with five nightclubs in the morning.

As soon as the owner of the nightclub saw the car Deng Weimin was riding in, he knew that Deng Weimin was a capable person and would not even think about selling fake wine.

Of course, this is mainly because in 2000, there were not many Rolls-Royces in Chengdu.

When people saw that Deng Weimin was driving such a car, they even took a high look at Ideal Beer, and the cooperation became smoother.

Let's be honest~ Is it common practice to use luxury cars to enhance the company's strength?

It’s vulgar~ Of course it’s vulgar! But the problem is that it’s really useful!

Just like why those Internet celebrity scammers in later generations are always keen on renting luxury cars to shoot videos? Because it is really easy to do so.

Think about it~ Even those scammers know all about luxury cars and so on~ It is conceivable that Chen Li's previous thoughts were somewhat naive.

So ~ Chen Li finally understood.

What kind of car he wants to drive is his freedom and his hobby.

But when it comes to company cars, you absolutely can’t be picky about Soso.

Even though it's really tacky to do this, reality is reality, and when everyone else around you feels that way, you'd better feel the same way.

So~ Chen Li also plans to buy himself a better car this time when he comes back. Anyway, he is not short of money now.

In the past, he didn't change cars just because he didn't think it was necessary. But since this has benefits, he is naturally willing to enjoy it more.

"Dip~!"

Just when Liu Qingqing was about to say hello to Master Cheng, the Cherokee's horn suddenly sounded.

The sudden sound of the horn startled Liu Qingqing, and just when she couldn't help but frown, she discovered through the black window that the person inside was not Master Cheng.

"Buzz~!"

The window glass was rolled down, and a face wearing sunglasses appeared in front of Liu Qingqing's eyes.

"Ah~ when did you come back?"

In fact, Liu Qingqing had already recognized Chen Li before the car window rolled down.

It's just that I'm a little unsure.

After all, in Liu Qingqing's understanding, Chen Li should still be in Hong Kong Island at the moment.

She had talked to Chen Li on the phone in the morning, but Chen Li didn't say on the phone that he would be back today, otherwise she wouldn't have made an appointment with Su Mei to have dinner together.

"I arrived at noon. I wanted to give you a surprise, so I didn't notify you in advance."

Chen Li opened the passenger door. Liu Qingqing ignored her Santana and got into the Cherokee. Then, she was hugged by Chen Li.

"Hmm~!"

Just as Liu Qingqing was about to say something, her mouth was blocked.

Okay~ She and Chen Li haven't seen each other for more than half a month, so this time, Miss Liu didn't stop her boyfriend.

However, after the kiss lasted for more than a minute, Liu Qingqing still pushed her boyfriend away.

The main reason is that this is a parking lot after all, and the Cherokee has been parked here. It will definitely cause inconvenience to others.

"Go home~!"

Liu Qingqing rolled her eyes at her boyfriend, completely forgetting that her Santana was still unlocked.
