i'm not a bad man

Chapter 83 Suspect
I didn't choose to accept the 10 yuan transferred from Lu Xi. I didn't want to turn myself into a mercenary, let alone Lu Xi to become my employer. I just hope that we can start as friends and then get to know each other little by little. We know each other well, and finally become partners who can spend a lifetime together; I don't care too much about the gap between us in reality, I only believe that sincerity leads to spiritual success, so I made that promise to her and helped her untie her knot. , and then get the purest version of her.

"I'm afraid you will regret it in the future. When this RV changes hands again, even if you want to buy it back, you won't have the chance."

I couldn't believe my eyes. I actually misjudged Lu Xi's motivation for letting me buy back the RV. I thought she cared about the promise, but what she thought about was my mood.

"How do you know I'll regret it?"

"Because everything it brings to you is irreplaceable... Even if it is a very old car and cannot accompany you around in the future, it is still a good choice for you to keep it as a collection... You may not regret it now. But when you really stay away from the RV life and you don’t live the way you want, you will regret it and miss it.”

Lu Xi’s words were a kind reminder to me, so I imagined some scenes after I left the RV life: I was trapped in that small house, and there was an old couple upstairs. Couples always walk around above my head, making the sound of dragging tables and chairs from time to time. Next door to me is a middle-aged couple who live an unhappy life. They always quarrel over trivial matters. Sometimes they are in the room. The early morning when I haven't woken up sometimes happens at night when I am very sleepy... If I still have my RV, I can avoid these troubles, even if it is only temporarily, at least I know in my heart that in this unsatisfactory city, There is also an ever-present haven.

"Okay, Sister Lu, I'll buy the car back, but I can't afford that much money. I sold it for 5000 yuan, and I can buy it back for 5 yuan at most. I'll lend you 5 yuan first. , I will return it to you when I have more money in the future."

"Well, let's go."

……

After finishing the conversation with Lu Xi, I stored my luggage in a nearby convenience store, and then rushed back to the second-hand car market. Although I knew I wouldn't sell it so quickly, I was scared. Isn't it just the word "accident"?

A quarter of an hour later, I returned to the second-hand car trading market. I clearly remember that after I completed the transaction with the car dealer, the RV was parked in Parking Lot 2, but at this moment, I was standing in the center of Parking Lot 2, I could see every corner of the parking lot, but my RV was never found again. I was surprised because of this...

"Why are you back again?"

I turned around and saw that it was the car dealer who took over my RV. I quickly asked him, "Where is the RV I sold you?"

"It's sold."

"Sold?"

"Yeah, I sold it not long after you left."

"Who did you sell it to?"

"Brother, do you regret it?"

"I don't regret it, I can come back."

"Uh... I really can't tell you who I sold it to."

"You're selling a car, not missiles. What's the matter? Is there a confidentiality agreement?"

The car dealer smiled, and then said to me meaningfully: "There is no confidentiality agreement, but we must respect the customer's privacy. Respecting the customer's privacy means respecting myself and respecting this industry. If I let you discuss the purchase and sale price privately, Isn’t the price difference we earn from it transparent? Then what secrets are there in our industry? If not, the buyer will regard him as a profiteer. If it were you, would you be willing to shoot yourself in the foot? ?”

He was so candid that I couldn't refute, so it took me a while before I replied: "I don't care how much money you make from it, I just want to buy back that RV."

"Just because you don't care, doesn't mean that the other party doesn't care either... Let's not talk about this matter. Even if you buy such a broken RV now, it won't be able to run very far with you. It's just for some sentimentality... ...Haha, it’s so silly to talk about feelings these days. It’s better to buy a new RV. The age and quality are guaranteed, and the technology for making RVs is better now than it was a few years ago. It’s not 01:30. I just bought it last week. I received a nearly new car that can store 18 kilowatt hours of electricity and a 200-liter clean water tank. It also has an automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. In terms of driving quality and living conditions, it is an all-round upgrade compared to yours. Confidence is guaranteed everywhere. If you are interested, I will take you to see it." "I am not interested at all, I just want to buy back the RV...I regret it, especially regret it."

"Do not say."

I gave in and said, "I'll give you 1000 yuan and it will be used as information usage fee. Is that okay?"

The car dealer still shook his head and replied: "Don't tell me."

"Then give me a price. How much do you want?"

"Every walk of life has its own rules and ethics. If you say something, you will ruin your own job. No matter how much you say it, you will lose your job."

……

Unluckily, I met a very weird car dealer. While he laughed at my feelings, he also talked to me about professional ethics. Regardless of his position, whether it was my feelings or his professional ethics. , isn’t it essentially a kind of persistence? Why can he do it but I can’t?

After returning in vain, I walked on the way back a little depressed. At the same time, I also had some doubts in my heart. Why did I just sell the RV and the next owner took it over in the blink of an eye?

I know very well in my heart that this is definitely not a RV that should be sought after. If RVs have age differences like people, this RV is undoubtedly an old man's, and a very poor old man. It does not have an automatic transmission, nor does it have It has a strong reserve capacity, and its space and performance are average. Its value is only to me, because we have traveled 14 kilometers together, but to others, it is just an old car. Maybe a long time later, I will meet a freeloader willing to buy this RV, but that will also be a long time later, not just a few hours after I sell it.

……

After getting my luggage back from the convenience store, I sat back on the bench where I had been chatting with Lu Xi. Then I looked up at the city. I already looked like a lazy and sluggish person unique to dusk. Only then did I realize that buying and selling, going back and forth, actually took up a whole day of my time. I can’t say that selling a car is not a serious matter, but it took up too much of my time. I haven’t found anything yet. New residence, but night is already coming...

Facing the coming night, people who have no destination will unconsciously fall into a state of loss. Therefore, I just watched the sunset getting closer and closer to the sea level; after a while, I finally took my phone out of my pocket. He took it out, and then sent a message to Lu Xi with regret: "You may not believe it, but I missed three hours in the middle. When I went to the second-hand car dealership again, the RV had already been sold by the car dealer. Sold again..."

After this message, I returned the money Luxi had lent me.

Lu Xi did not take it back immediately. She seemed to be more concerned about the whereabouts of the RV, so she rarely took the initiative to send me a request for voice chat. I always catered to Lu Xi, but this time I answered the call with a little sense of loss. her voice.

"Any idea who bought that RV?"

"I don't know. The car dealer refused to tell me. He said that if I contacted the buyer privately and discussed the purchase and sale price, the price difference he earned would be transparent. He said this is a taboo in the industry..."

After a brief silence on the other end of the phone, Lu Xi replied: "The liquidity of RV transactions is inherently poor, and your RV has little trading value. Could it be that an acquaintance of yours bought it?" A RV?... Because you posted it on Moments before, and they are your friends, and they all know what that RV means to you."

"Isn't it possible?... Why did my friend buy my second-hand RV that is so broken? If it really meant something to me, why didn't he contact me after buying it?"

"Maybe it's your ex-girlfriend... Just like you, this RV took her to many places, but you couldn't be together, so she bought it privately as a souvenir."

I was shocked, and Lu Xi on the other end of the phone said to me: "My sister-in-law called me to eat, let's not talk anymore, you think about it yourself, anyway, I think the person who bought this RV must be someone close to you. people."
