Chapter 151 Chevrolet Impala
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
This day.
Zhang Chi is helping an old lady in the village repair the rice cooker.
I don't know how many years this thing has been used, and you can't find an identical model on the market.
Zhang Chi even wanted to pay for a new rice cooker for the old lady out of his own pocket.
But when he saw the old lady's expectant eyes, Zhang Chi thought about it and decided to give up.
My mother told me that this rice cooker was the first electrical appliance bought by my grandmother's late husband. It has been used for more than 30 years and has been repaired countless times.
Wow, this rice cooker from thirty years ago is older than Zhang Chi.
Fortunately, the rice cookers in the past had simple functions, so Lao Zhang’s broken radio was dismantled and a diode was replaced.
Zhang Chi tried it and found that the cooking function was normal.
"All right?"
"Well, that's it."
The old lady smiled happily, as if a burden had been lifted from her heart.
Seeing this, Zhang Chi smiled, assembled the rice cooker and handed it to the old lady, and symbolically charged her 2 yuan for the repair fee.
You can't do it without charging money.
One time he didn’t charge for repairing an electric fan, but the next day an old lady gave him all the vegetables from her garden as a reward.
This happened not once or twice.
There are some people in the village who are greedy and don't pay, but most of the elderly are still very decent.
The delivery of food happened several times, and later Zhang Chi simply charged a symbolic fee.
Just one or two dollars, not much.
But it can save you a lot of trouble.
As for what to do with the 30-yuan radio that Lao Zhang bought without a diode...
Well, just consider it a good deed.
Anyway, Lao Zhang doesn’t listen to the radio anymore. He uses his newly bought Xiaomi mobile phone to play Douyin every day.
Send the old lady away.
Zhang Chi was just about to wash his hands when he saw a pickup truck parked at the door.
"Chizi, come and help me move it. This thing is too heavy."
Zhang Chi ran over to help Long Jingshan move an advertising sign out of the pickup truck.
"How about putting this thing at the door of the store and turning on a light at night? You can see it from hundreds of meters away."
Zhang Chi looked at the sign, smiled and nodded.
The billboard is 5 meters high when assembled, with a cartoon car below the words "Fei Chi" and the whole billboard is 2 meters wide.
The words are blue, the car is yellow, and the outline is red. The three primary colors are all collected.
When the lights are turned on at night, the most beautiful billboards can be seen within a radius of several hundred meters.
"Uncle Jingshan, how much did this thing cost? I'll transfer it to you."
"Tsk, what are you talking about, kid?"
Long Jingshan pretended to be unhappy, and then said with a smile: "We are family, so we should not have different opinions. You bought such an expensive car for Xiaoyun, and I put up a billboard for you and charged you for it. You are slapping me in the face."
Zhang Chi touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
Long Jingshan patted his shoulder and the more he looked at Zhang Chi, the more he liked him.
It’s not easy to find such a good son-in-law.
Fortunately, I watched it closely enough.
After the advertising sign was erected and powered on, the time for automatic switching on and off was set.
The two of them walked into the store talking and laughing.
Brewed tea for a while.
Zhang Chi’s phone lit up.
Open it and take a look.
Zhang Chi answered the phone immediately.
"Hey, Binzi, um, I'm here, just send it over."
Soon, a trailer appeared in front of the store.
Chen Bin jumped out of the car with a smile.
"Chizi, I'm sorry to bother you this time. Don't worry, I will definitely remember this favor."
Chen Bin's big bald head was very conspicuous, and some people in the village who knew him looked at the two of them curiously.
Some people even went to find Lao Zhang, who was sitting at the entrance of the parking lot booth, to inquire about the news.
"Jianguo, does your Chizi know Chen Bin from the next village?"
Old Zhang raised his eyebrows. He knew that Chen Bin, this gangster, had a reputation that was neither good nor bad.
Of course, he really didn't know how Zhang Chi and Chen Bin knew each other or whether they had a good relationship.
"I heard that Chen Bin is very popular in the county. I don't know what kind of relationship Chi Zi has with him."
Some people in the village who knew Chen Bin began to test him unconsciously, because everyone has connections.
What about children's education, medical treatment, business licenses, drunk driving, and even electric vehicles being confiscated...
Rural people usually find it difficult to deal with these things, but if they have some connections, they can just make a phone call to help solve the problem.
In their eyes, Chen Bin is such a great man.
He has a good life in Shamen and has connections in both the black and white worlds.
If Zhang Chi and Chen Bin have a close enough relationship, then they won't be afraid of trouble when they go out in the future.
These people are calculating with their abacus.
Lao Zhang was not stupid. He gave a few ambiguous responses but refused to agree.
Here.
Zhang Chi was looking at the Chevrolet Impala that Chen Bin mentioned.
I have to say, the car was hit really badly. Not only was the entire front of the car flattened, but I don't know where the rear wheel is.
Chen Bin smiled bitterly and said, "I've inquired about it. The guy was driving with his girlfriend to the mountain for a ride. Unfortunately, they ran into a sand truck coming from the opposite direction. The truck fell over and crushed the front of the truck. The people in the car were fine. It was a blessing in disguise."
Zhang Chi nodded, indeed he did not see any blood in the carriage.
Otherwise, you have to go back and worship before repairing the car. This thing also has its own rules, especially a car with a soul ring, you can't repair it just because you want to.
"How about it, brother, are you sure?"
Chen Bin couldn't wait to ask.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chi showed a very embarrassed expression.
After looking around, he said, "It's a bit difficult. It may take at least 20 days. The main thing is to get an original engine. If it's a high-end imitation, we can have more time."
"Don't buy any high-end imitations, I want the original ones. Brother, please help me rush it. Just tell me how much you need."
Chen Bin spared no effort to please the young master. Not only did he want the work to be expedited, but he also wanted original parts. If he had gone to any other auto repair shop, they might not have been able to get it done.
Fortunately, he met Zhang Chi, a wall-hanger with cheats.
A car that others can’t repair is just a matter of a few hundred kilowatt-hours of electricity for him.
Even so, he still had to cover up in various ways and try to delay the repair of the car as much as possible. If he did it too fast, he was afraid of attracting attention.
"Okay, I'll try to get it done within 20 days."
"That's great, buddy. Thank you in advance. I'll take care of you one by one. I'll get some foreign girls to entertain you."
Zhang Chi: “…”
Chen Bin leaned forward and whispered, "Do you know something? The people from Haicheng have withdrawn."
Zhang Chi was stunned.
Chen Bin continued, "I heard that Mr. Ye and Mayor Li reached some kind of agreement in private, and this matter also involves someone higher up."
"So those people in Haicheng just gave up like that?"
Zhang Chi asked curiously.
Chen Bin glanced around and saw that there was no one around, so he whispered, "They didn't want to give up, but a big shot from the province came. I heard that President Ye would give her some face when he saw her. She has an aunt who is in charge of this area. The people from Haicheng have no choice but to leave. Without their approval, why are they staying here?"
"So amazing!" "That's right."
Chen Bin said, somewhat moved: "It's a pity that I don't know her, otherwise I wouldn't have to try every possible means to please this damn young man. He took so many benefits from me, but he still made up a lot of nonsense for a piece of approval document, fuck!"
Zhang Chi smiled and said nothing.
These things are still too far away for him. Currently, he just wants to build up his own racing track, set up a racing team, and enter the international competitions next year.
The two chatted for a while.
Chen Bin left, saying he was busy with work.
After seeing Chen Bin off.
Many people in the village came over to inquire about Chen Bin.
Zhang Chi didn't expect that Chen Bin was quite famous in the village. He waved his hand and said, "I have nothing to do with him. He is just a customer who came to me to repair his car."
When everyone heard this, they obviously didn't believe it.
After all, Chen Bin's attitude just now didn't seem like the two of them had just met, but more like they were sworn brothers.
In particular, Chen Bin took the initiative to put his arm around Zhang Chi's shoulders several times, and his attitude was as intimate as it could be.
But Zhang Chi insisted that there was no answer, so they didn't say anything more.
This is how the villagers are, they lose their way in pursuit of petty profits.
They didn’t even think about it. If Zhang Chi and Chen Bin were really close friends, wouldn’t it be better for them to just go to Zhang Chi when they had problems?
The levels of people who can play together will not be too different.
If Chen Bin can handle the problem, Zhang Chi can do the same.
I can only say that these people only see the sesame seeds and not the watermelons, which is a bit of putting the cart before the horse.
Zhang Chi also hoped that they would think this way, otherwise he would be annoyed to death if everyone came to him for help.
Although the village is not big, there are many bad things happening here.
Some things can be helped, but some things are really hard to help. If you help too many times, you may even create deep hatred.
Zhang Chi himself is not a kind-hearted person. It’s okay for him to help within his ability, but he can’t bear to help him every day.
He found a random excuse to send away several village elders.
Zhang Chi walked up to the Chevrolet Impala and pressed it with both hands.
In an instant, the light screen in front of my eyes lit up, and various maintenance items were listed one by one.
The biggest repair item is naturally the engine, which requires 75 energy points.
Everything else is pretty good, and it only takes 380 energy points to repair this car.
Zhang Chi took a quick look, then loosened his hands, and the light curtain disappeared.
Taking another look at the flattened front of the car, Zhang Chi thought about just towing it to the bamboo field since there was no business in the auto repair shop anyway.
I was planning to drive the trailer over here.
Then I saw Gangzi running out of the car rental company.
"Chizi, an old customer wants to reserve 9 Wranglers as wedding cars, but we only have 6, and 4 of them have been rented out. What do you think we should do?"
Zhang Chi's expression changed, and he asked curiously: "When exactly do you want it? I'll think of a way."
"It's urgent. It's this Saturday, and today is already Tuesday."
Zhang Chi nodded slightly.
"Okay, you promise him. By the way, do you have any requirements for the color of the car?"
"Not really. He has three of his own, and he needs to get 12 together. How about I ask?"
"Well, ask."
Not long after, Gangzi read the reply, looked up and said, "I want 4 red ones, 2 black ones, and 3 orange ones."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chi looked at the two Wranglers in the parking lot across the street. Both of them happened to be black.
"I see. I'll take care of it. Just promise him that you'll come on Friday to handle the paperwork and take the car away."
"to make."
Zhang Chi glanced at the time on his phone.
I plan to tow the Chevrolet Impala to the bamboo harvesting site to have it repaired first.
Others might be anxious when faced with such an expedited order, but he doesn't have to worry at all.
As long as he has a car, he can even change the color of the car himself.
However, before leaving.
He still contacted Fatty and Xiao Minsheng, and after confirming that both of them had the products in stock, he placed an order directly.
I ordered 3 units from Xiao Minsheng, and the remaining 6 units were purchased from Fatty.

county seat.
Lijing New Town.
Jin Cheng glanced at the fat man, who was flipping through a magazine absentmindedly.
"No problem. I'll have someone send the six cars to you later. Well, we'll talk about the money later."
After chatting about family matters for a while, I saw the fat man hang up the phone.
The fat man put down his phone, smiled and called his younger brother to get all the six Wranglers in the scrapyard out and load them onto the trailer.
He walked back and sat on the sofa, humming a little tune.
"Hey, business has been quite good recently. With the six Wranglers that Chizi wanted, I made a net profit of around 6 this month."
Jin Cheng raised his eyes and glanced sideways, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing this, the fat man asked curiously, "What's wrong, sister? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No."
Jin Cheng pouted and absentmindedly flipped through the magazine a few times, unable to concentrate on reading the text content at all.
The fat man raised his eyebrows, wondering what happened to this old lady suddenly.
Wasn't it fine just now?
Could it be!
The fat man frowned slightly, looked at Jin Cheng speechlessly, and asked with a helpless tone: "Sister, are you still thinking about Chi Zi's matter?"
Jin Cheng: “…”
"What nonsense are you talking about? I was just thinking about how Chi Zi took care of your business. Do you want to buy something to thank him?"
The fat man chuckled twice, obviously not believing it.
Jin Cheng pursed her lips, put down the magazine in her hand, picked up her phone and flipped through it casually.
But I don’t know why, I just can’t get into it.
Seeing this, Fatty said speechlessly: "How about this, let's take Duoduo to Xiasha Village tomorrow. Didn't Duoduo say he wanted to eat the food cooked by Chizi's mother?"
"Ah, is that okay?"
Jin Cheng's eyes lit up.
Seeing that she suddenly became excited, the fat man became even more speechless.
"Sister, Chi Zi has a girlfriend, you, you should take it easy, don't get caught up in it."
Jin Cheng glared at him unhappily and said, "I know it's impossible for us, I just want to make Duoduo happy. Is it wrong for her to want a grandmother?"
The fat man's heart softened when he heard this.
Since childhood, the little niece has only had him and her sister as elders.
Although she loves her very much, after the child goes to kindergarten, she will come into contact with many other children. Seeing that they are all picked up by their grandparents, Duoduo sometimes asks about her own grandparents.
But after Jin Cheng divorced her ex-husband, the relationship between the two families was broken.
The weird parents-in-law who favored boys over girls had no feelings for Duoduo at all. They couldn't let Duoduo put her face against someone else's cold butt.
They don't want to suffer any injustice.
However, Zhang Chi's mother, ever since she took Duoduo to play with her twice last time, Duoduo has liked this grandma very much. She keeps nagging Jincheng and Fatty to take her to play with her grandma every day.
"Okay, I'll tell Chizi."
"What's there to talk to him about? Let's go there by ourselves."
Jin Cheng reached out and grabbed the fat man's hand as he was about to make a phone call, with a somewhat resentful look on his face.
