Chapter 65 Who says you can't live off your son?
Chapter 65 Who says you can't live off your son?
After buying the phone, the next stop is clothes.
Huang Tian led his parents to the third floor, which was full of mid-to-high-end brands, but not as ostentatious as brands like LV.
Although Huang Tian didn't know much about shopping, he had the help of Hu Yixin and Lin Weiwei, two shopping experts, to look at several brands suitable for middle-aged and elderly people.
Ordos, Biemlfdlkk, Zhihe...
"Dad, please try this one on."
Upon seeing Huang Tian pointing to a dark gray polo shirt, the saleswoman immediately took it down.
"No need, no need, I have clothes to wear..."
Huang Xudong saw that the price tag was over three thousand and waved his hand repeatedly to refuse.
"Let's give it a try and see."
Without saying a word, Huang Tian pushed his father into the fitting room.
Chen Xiumei was also pulled by Huang Tian to try on several dresses.
The elderly couple were initially hesitant, but they were stunned when they put on their new clothes and stood in front of the mirror.
"Is this still me?"
Chen Xiumei looked at the woman in the black dress in the mirror and could hardly recognize her.
The clothes fit perfectly, the fabric is soft, and the color complements my skin tone.
She looked at least five years younger in the mirror, and her demeanor was more elegant.
"Mom, you look so good in this."
Huang Tian sincerely praised him.
"Auntie, this outfit really suits you; you look like you're in your thirties."
The female sales assistant also offered flattery at the opportune moment.
"It's not that exaggerated."
Chen Xiumei blushed, but her eyes were full of joy.
Just then, Huang Xudong came out of the fitting room.
He wore a dark gray polo shirt with black casual pants and a light dark blue blazer over it.
He looked energetic and capable; you'd never guess he was just a small fruit vendor.
"Dad, you look great in that outfit."
Huang Tian gave a thumbs up: "That's the epitome of a domineering CEO."
"Don't talk nonsense, kid."
Huang Xudong tugged at his clothes somewhat awkwardly, but couldn't help but smile.
Regardless of age or gender, who doesn't like wearing new clothes?
Finally, Huang Tian bought four or five sets of clothes for each of his parents.
Everything was prepared, inside and out, top and bottom.
Including shoes, belts, and other accessories, the total cost was over 12 yuan.
The elderly couple initially refused, but later became numb to it.
From heartache to shock, and now to simply accepting it.
They realized that their son was determined to spend money on them today.
After buying clothes, Huang Tian took his parents to Chow Tai Fook.
"Mom, this bracelet is beautiful."
Huang Tian pointed to a solid tire-shaped gold bracelet.
"This is too heavy, it will be tiring for Mom to wear it."
When Chen Xiumei saw that the bracelet weighed 94g and cost over 10 yuan, she kept shaking her head.
"I heard that the price of gold may rise further, so buying it now is like investing in a financial product."
"real?"
"How could it be fake? At worst, we can keep it as a family heirloom."
"Then... Mom will take it."
Huang Tian smiled and nodded to the saleswoman.
"Yes, Auntie, the price of gold is constantly rising, so buying it is a sure way to make money."
The latter immediately showered Chen Xiumei with flattery, making her beam with joy.
Wearing a gold bracelet worth 13 yuan, Chen Xiumei walked out of Chow Tai Fook.
They were extremely careful, afraid of being robbed of it.
Huang Tian checked the time; it was just past midnight.
"Let's buy one more thing and then head to the next stop, and we can even grab a free meal while we're at it."
"Still buying things?"
Chen Xiumei was startled. "Tiantian, that's enough! We've already spent almost 300,000 yuan today!"
"Mom, this is nothing."
Huang Tian put his arm around his mother's shoulder. "We haven't bought the two most important things yet."
Huang Tian originally wanted to go straight to the car, but since he was already there, he figured he might as well go.
Getting a watch for the elderly couple won't take much effort.
So Huang Tian led his parents to the watch section on the first floor.
Vacheron Constantin boutique.
When the shop assistants saw Huang Tian and his family carrying large bags and small packages, they immediately greeted them warmly.
"Good afternoon, sir/madam. What watch would you like to see?"
"Take a look at men's watches."
Huang Tian walked to the counter and pointed to several watches inside, "The Overseas series."
The shop assistant's eyes lit up and he immediately took out several watches.
Huang Tian immediately took a liking to the 5520V.
Stainless steel case, blue dial, three-hand design, simple and elegant.
"Dad, try this."
Huang Xudong's eyes widened when he saw the price tag.
"31 million?"
"Whether I buy it or not is another matter; trying it doesn't cost any money."
Without saying a word, Huang Tian put the watch on his father's wrist.
The deep blue dial gleamed with a delicate sheen under the light.
The watch case is polished to an extremely fine finish, and it feels heavy and substantial on the wrist, exuding a premium feel.
"It's...it looks pretty good."
Huang Xudong looked at the watch on his wrist, his voice trembling slightly.
31 million!
How many years would it take him to earn that?
"Okay, this one will do."
Seeing how much his father liked it, Huang Tian immediately instructed the shop assistant.
"Yes, sir!"
The shop assistant was so excited that her face turned red, and she closed the sale in less than five minutes.
"Mom, you pick one too."
Huang Tian pulled Chen Xiumei to the women's section, too lazy to bother going to a second place.
Vacheron Constantin is, after all, a top-tier brand, and wearing it still makes you feel prestigious.
"Mom doesn't need it."
Chen Xiumei waved her hands repeatedly: "I wouldn't even know how to tell time if I wore something this expensive."
"Then I'll buy a nice one."
Huang Tian pointed to a product from the Yiling Goddess series and gestured for the saleswoman to bring it out.
"This watch face has a ring of small diamonds, it looks quite pretty, and it won't look bad."
Chen Xiumei glanced at the price and nearly had her heart jump out of her chest.
255000 yuan.
It's not just embarrassing, it's excessively extravagant!
This broken watch alone is worth as much as an Audi A4.
"Tian Tian, Mom really doesn't want to..."
"Now that your son is capable, he naturally wants to give you and Dad the best life. The watch is part of that, so please accept it without worry."
Huang Tian smiled and held his mother's hand, speaking with heartfelt sincerity.
"Then... Mom will accept it."
Chen Xiumei stopped refusing; there was no need for family members to be so formal.
The shop assistant gave this big spender a 9% discount and rounded it down to exactly 50.
After leaving Vacheron Constantin, the elderly couple were completely numb.
First, I bought a Huawei triple-fold folding jacket, which cost 5 yuan.
They also bought four or five sets of clothes for each of them, spending more than 12 yuan.
The gold bracelet cost 13 yuan.
Now I've bought two more watches, spending another 50 yuan.
All in all, we've already spent nearly 100 million!
"day by day…"
Chen Xiumei held her son's hand, unable to contain her worry.
"Won't spending so much money on us affect your company's operations?"
"Don't worry, it's not that much money."
Huang Tian felt incredibly satisfied as he looked at his parents wearing new watches, new clothes, and new cell phones.
"Let's continue. You must be hungry too. Let's go grab a free meal."
Huang Tian checked the time; he had bought the watch in less than half an hour, which was indeed fast.
"You...you still need to buy things?"
Chen Xiumei was startled.
"Housing and transportation, the two most important things, haven't been resolved yet."
Huang Tian planned to make all the arrangements for his trip back home. He couldn't just enjoy himself while his parents suffered.
"Son, I know you're filial, but money doesn't grow on trees, so be careful with your spending..."
Huang Xudong hesitated for a moment, but still tried to persuade him.
"Dad, please listen to me."
Huang Tian said firmly, "You and Mom have worked hard for most of your lives, now it's time for you to enjoy your retirement."
Chen Xiumei touched the new watch on her wrist, then looked at the new phone in her hand, her eyes filled with satisfaction and pride.
"Old Huang, our son has really made something of himself."
Huang Xudong squeezed her hand and nodded vigorously.
……
After leaving the exhibition, the elderly couple sat in the back seat of the Porsche, their emotions still running high.
The new watch on my wrist felt heavy, and the new clothes I was wearing were soft and comfortable.
All of this feels like a dream, so unreal.
"Tian Tian, where are we going next?"
Chen Xiumei asked cautiously, afraid that her son would reveal some more terrifying plans.
"Let's go look at the car."
Huang Tian saw his mother's expression in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but laugh.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll listen to you this time. I'll buy whatever you say."
Hearing this, the elderly couple breathed a sigh of relief.
The car entered Harbin's largest auto city, and Huang Tian drove directly to the entrance of the Mercedes-Benz 4S store.
"Benz?"
Huang Xudong's eyes lit up as he looked at the shining three-pointed star logo.
In Northeast China, among the three major German luxury brands (BBA), Mercedes-Benz is definitely the most prestigious.
Especially for people their age, driving a Mercedes is a symbol of success.
What do you guys think of Mercedes?
Huang Tian parked the car and asked.
"Mercedes-Benz is great, it's both stylish and sophisticated!"
Huang Xudong's eyes were full of anticipation; who could refuse a Mercedes?
"A Mercedes is reliable and suitable for your dad."
Chen Xiumei nodded in agreement.
"That's fine, let's go look at Mercedes."
The three entered the 4S store, and a salesperson immediately came to greet them.
"Good afternoon, sir/madam. What type of car would you like to see?"
"S-rank".
Huang Tian got straight to the point.
"OK."
The salesperson's eyes lit up: "The S-Class is over here, please follow me."
In the center of the showroom, a black Mercedes-Benz S450L sat quietly.
The streamlined body, the imposing front, and the three-pointed star emblem shine brightly under the lights.
Huang Xudong walked over, circled the car, gently touched the body of the car, and looked at it with great affection.
"Dad, go up and give it a try."
Huang Tian opened the car door.
"Tsk, as expected of a Mercedes."
Huang Xudong sat in the driver's seat, gripped the steering wheel, and felt the leather wrapping around his hands.
"This car is really spacious, the interior is beautiful, and the steering wheel feels great."
"Yes, no wonder people say that you drive a BMW and ride in a Mercedes."
Chen Xiumei also sat in the back seat and touched the seat.
"This cushion is so soft, even more comfortable than our sofa at home."
"Uncle and Aunt, what you two have mentioned is only part of the advantages of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class."
The salesperson opportunely introduced, "This is the latest S450L, with a 2.5T engine, 367 horsepower, top-of-the-line features, full Nappa leather, Burmester sound system, rear seats with massage function... absolutely the top-of-the-line!"
"How much does this car cost?"
Huang Xudong's eyes lit up as he listened, and he couldn't help but ask a question.
Just as the salesperson was about to give a quote, Huang Tian waved his hand.
"Dad, don't worry about the money, just tell me if you like it or not?"
"I like it, but..."
"If you like it, that's fine."
Huang Tian turned to the salesperson, "Do you have this model in stock? What's the price?"
"Yes, sir. Currently, there is a discount of 17 yuan for full payment, bringing the price down to 111.83 yuan. With purchase tax and insurance, the total cost will be around 125 yuan. We can also give you a car cover, window tinting, all-weather floor mats, a 5-year/10-kilometer maintenance package, and a 1 yuan fuel card."
"125 million..."
Huang Xudong gasped.
"So expensive?"
Chen Xiumei was also startled.
"Tian Tian, how about we look at something cheaper? An E-class would be fine too..."
"Mom, if you're going to buy something, buy the best."
Huang Tian said firmly, "Dad has driven all his life, it's time for him to drive a nicer car."
Then, Huang Tian asked the salesperson, "Can the paperwork be completed today? Can we get a temporary license plate?"
"Absolutely!"
The salesperson nodded repeatedly: "It can be completed today, the temporary license plate can be issued immediately, and the car can be driven away right away."
"Then this one will do."
Huang Tian took out his bank card and said, "Swipe the card."
"day by day!"
Chen Xiumei wanted to say something more, but Huang Tian had already gone with the salesperson to complete the formalities.
Huang Xudong sat in the driver's seat, looking at his son's tall and straight back, his eyes welling up with tears.
……
All the procedures were completed in a little over an hour.
During this time, Huang Tian took his parents to experience the boxed lunches from Mercedes-Benz, which were, to say the least, acceptable.
When the salesperson handed the car keys to Huang Xudong, he couldn't suppress his smile.
His commission would be substantial for every Mercedes-Benz S-Class he sold.
"Mr. Huang, we've filled up your tank with gas, and the temporary license plate is ready. The official license plate will be mailed to your home within three days. Would you like us to send someone to deliver the car back to you?"
"No need, my dad will drive it himself."
Huang Tian waved his hand and took a picture of his parents picking up the car.
If I were buying a Nissan Sylphy, that would be fine, but if I were buying a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, I'd definitely have to post it on my WeChat Moments.
Huang Xudong gripped the car keys, took a deep breath, and started the car.
The engine of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class has a deep and resonant sound.
The car was so quiet that you could hardly hear any outside sounds; the Burmester sound system made you feel like you were at a concert.
"Mom, I'll lead the way in my Panamera, and you guys follow behind in your new cars. We're going to look at houses."
Huang Tian called his mother.
"Are you still going to look at houses?"
Chen Xiumei was already numb.
"Yes, this really is the last stop."
As Huang Tian spoke, he stepped on the gas, and the two cars drove out of the 4S store one after the other.
The black Mercedes-Benz S-Class exudes a composed and dignified presence, while the purple Panamera is refined and stylish.
Huang Xudong drove very slowly and carefully, but the smile on his face never stopped.
This is a Mercedes-Benz S-Class!
A true million-dollar luxury car!
Thinking about how I'm now decked out in designer brands, using a Huawei triple-fold phone, wearing a Vacheron Constantin Elegance, and driving a Mercedes-Benz S-Class!
I, Lao Huang, have worked hard all my life, and now I can't even afford to sponge off my son in my old age?
