Sugar Daddy, Sweet Baby

Chapter １９: Hummer in a Jetta Coat

The sun was shining brightly, and the breeze brought a cool smell of sea water. Scott Lin came out of the club in a carefree manner, with a cigarette dangling from his lips. He turned his head to look at the six-story building, which was much more imposing than Steward 's small red brick second floor. He thought that if a fire was lit there, it would definitely be a grand sight.

If Crazy Max, who was sitting in the conference room with a livid face, knew this idea, he would definitely jump down from the third floor and fight him to the death.

Scott Lin hailed a taxi at the entrance of the club and drove straight to the place where the old Jetta broke down.

The old Jetta was parked on the side of the road intact, with the windows wide open and the doors ajar. Fortunately, nothing in the car was stolen. In fact, there was nothing to lose, unless there was a crazy thief who came to remove the steering wheel.

There was a parking ticket on the front window of the car. Scott Lin tore it off, crumpled it and threw it into the weeds on the side of the road. The old Jetta was registered under the name of Skyland Company, which meant that Scott Lin didn't have to worry about violations or tickets, as someone would naturally take care of it.

The problem now was that the car had broken down on the roadside and a tow truck had to be found to take it to the repair shop. Scott Lin had just arrived and didn't know how to get a tow truck's phone number, so he had to call Mathew Chu for help.

Mathew Chu had just finished a phone call with little Sam Chu during the break. He was in a good mood when he learned that his grandson had been getting along well with his 'father' in the past two days. He was also quite satisfied with the 'son-in-law' he hired.

Just as I hung up the phone with my grandson happily, my "son-in-law" called me.

Scott Lin briefly explained the situation on the phone, and Mathew Chu directly suggested that he get a new car, a BMW, a Mercedes, or a Cadillac, as a reward for his excellent "work".

But Scott Lin refused outright, saying that the old Jetta could be repaired and still be driven. Mathew Chu agreed with a smile, thinking to himself, "This kid is great. Not only can he make my little grandson happy, but he also knows how to be frugal."

Mathew Chu smiled and said, "Okay, Scott Lin, wait there for a while, I'll arrange someone to help you right away."

Scott Lin stood on the side of the road, holding his phone and grinning, "Uncle Chu, do I have to pay for the car repair?"

Mathew Chu smiled and said, "Of course not. It only costs a few dollars to repair a car. You are making fun of your uncle Chu by saying that."

Scott Lin quickly said no, and the two exchanged a few more pleasantries before hanging up the phone.

Scott Lin didn't just wait on the roadside. He opened the cover of the old Jetta to check the fault. He was not tinkering with it out of idleness. When he was in the army, he could repair tanks and armored vehicles. Now he just didn't have the tools. Otherwise, why would this old Jetta need to be towed to the repair shop?

This old Jetta is purely imported and is at least seventeen years old. There is no problem with the body frame and chassis, but the engine, gearbox and some other parts of the body have been rusted and corroded due to being idle for too long. Otherwise, it would not be so fragile and broke down after Scott Lin stepped on the accelerator a few times.

After a thorough inspection, Scott Lin stood on the side of the road and stroked his chin. If he wanted to drive this old Jetta comfortably in the future, it would have to be overhauled. Except for the body frame and chassis, all other parts had to be replaced, from the engine and gearbox to the screws. In this way, the old Jetta could be considered reborn from the ashes, but it would cost a lot of money to repair it. Anyway, it was Mathew Chu who paid for it, so Scott Lin didn't care.

After waiting for less than twenty minutes, a red Cadillac drove over and stopped in front of Scott Lin. The door opened, and Snow Qin, dressed in a professional suit and wearing big sunglasses, got out of the car. She wore a pair of high heels at least ten centimeters high, looking like a queen.

Scott Lin couldn’t help but feel amazed, grinning and saying, “Secretary Qin, it’s you.”

Snow Qin took off his sunglasses, showing a professional smile, and said: "Director Chu asked me to help Mr. Lin."

Scott Lin said politely: “Then I’ll trouble Secretary Qin.”

Xue Qin nodded and smiled, saying, "It should be. I have called the auto repair company and they should be here soon."

Scott Lin smiled and said yes, but secretly said in his heart: "It's better to come later, so that I can have more time to chat with the beautiful secretary. Although the relationship between Secretary Qin and Lao Chu seems to be unusual, it won't hurt to chat with her for a few words."

Unfortunately, just as Scott Lin had this dirty idea in his mind, a trailer appeared in his sight in the distance. Snow Qin stood on the side of the road and waved at the trailer, and the trailer drove straight over here.

The old Jetta was put on the trailer, and Scott Lin took Snow Qin's Cadillac to the auto repair shop first. On the way, Snow Qin couldn't help but ask jokingly: "Mr. Lin, there are so many good cars in the underground garage, why did you choose this old Jetta? This car is at least 20 years old. Does Mr. Lin like to collect it?"

"Ha ha……"

Scott Lin laughed twice, took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, saying: "I don't know anything about collecting."

"oh?"

"I think it's low-key enough." Scott Lin grinned, then took out a lighter and lit the cigarette.

“Hehe… cough cough…” Snow Qin laughed twice, and was choked by the smoke exhaled by Scott Lin and coughed twice.

"Sorry, Secretary Qin, I choked you." Scott Lin said quickly, preparing to put out the cigarette.

“It’s okay.” Snow Qin said with a smile, and at the same time extended his hand to Scott Lin, “Give me one.”

Scott Lin was slightly stunned, then smiled and took out a cigarette from his pocket. Snow Qin took it and put it directly in her mouth. Scott Lin took out a lighter and lit it for her. She first took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.

The car immediately became quiet. Scott Lin looked at Snow Qin smoking. Her face had an indifferent expression, as if she had something on her mind. There seemed to be a hint of sadness between her delicate and beautiful eyebrows.

The cigarettes were the Big Green Toad cigarettes that Scott Lin brought from Mohanland. These cigarettes were several times stronger than ordinary cigarettes. A woman who could smoke such a strong cigarette and still look calm and composed must be a woman with a story.

The Cadillac drove into the auto repair shop. As soon as Scott Lin and Snow Qin got out of the car, a chubby middle-aged man came out to greet them. After Snow Qin introduced Scott Lin, he learned that the fat man was Nook Xu, the owner of the Guangyuan Auto Repair Shop.

Seventy percent of Skyland Group's vehicles are repaired and maintained here, making it the largest customer of Guangyuan Auto Repair Shop. So when Snow Qin came, Nook Xu would never dare to neglect him.

As for when Snow Qin introduced Scott Lin to Nook Xu, he simply said: “Mr. Lin, an important person to Mr. Chu.”

After hearing this, Nook Xu immediately showed great respect for Scott Lin and said a lot of flattering words.

Scott Lin had a smile on his face, but his impression of Nook Xu was greatly reduced in his heart. He looked like a profiteer.

After knowing that Scott Lin was an important person of Mr. Chu, Nook Xu had been secretly wondering what kind of luxury car would be towed over later. But when the tow truck came back with the old Jetta, he was completely stunned. If Scott Lin hadn't said in person that the old Jetta was broken, Nook Xu would have wanted to go up and ask the tow truck driver if he had towed the wrong car.

After Scott Lin finished explaining how the old Jetta broke down, Nook Xu immediately called over a senior repairman, who also looked to be in his thirties, very thin, with a pair of sparkling eyes.

Nook Xu repeated Scott Lin's words to Master Yang. Master Yang stroked his chin and pondered for a while, then walked to the old Jetta, opened the engine cover and fiddled with it for a while, then stood up and said, "The engine problem can be fixed immediately by replacing a part."

"Okay, got it. Hurry up and fix it." Nook Xu responded, turned around and said to Scott Lin and Snow Qin with a smile: "Dear guests, let's leave the car for them to fix. Let's go upstairs and have a drink?"

“Yeah.” Snow Qin responded and was about to go upstairs, but Scott Lin waved his hand and said, “Wait…”

Snow Qin and Nook Xu looked at Scott Lin at the same time.

Scott Lin said to Master Yang, "Dude, you see, the only problem with this car is the engine?"

Master Yang raised his head and said, "Yes, it's the engine that's faulty." But his face showed a hint of displeasure. He was a senior auto repair engineer in this auto repair shop, yet he was actually suspected by a customer.

Scott Lin smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's not just the engine that's having problems."

Master Yang directly asked back: "Can you repair cars?"

Scott Lin smiled and nodded, saying, "You do understand a little bit." Then he walked over to the old Jetta, stood in front of the engine cover, pointed at the parts inside and started talking about them one by one. Master Yang's face turned red but he couldn't get a word in. Snow Qin and Nook Xu both looked surprised.

"…Repairing the engine of this car is just a temporary solution. It will definitely need to be repaired again within half a month." Scott Lin turned around and said to Nook Xu with a smile: "Boss Xu, I want to overhaul this car. Please find a piece of paper and a pen. I will write down the parts to be replaced and have your people repair it according to my requirements."

Nook Xu hadn't recovered from his surprise yet. He was also an auto mechanic by trade, and after listening to Scott Lin's well-reasoned analysis, he was truly impressed. He immediately came to his senses and said, "Okay, no problem!" At the same time, he was also worried that Snow Qin had suddenly brought such a master here today. Could he have come to test his bottom line on purpose? If he wanted to tamper with Skyland Group's auto repair and maintenance in the future, he would have to be careful.

Nook Xu personally found paper and pen, and Scott Lin started writing on the spot, filling up both the front and back of an A4 paper. Nook Xu and Snow Qin watched from the side. Snow Qin was just there to watch the fun, but Nook Xu was different. He was a car repairman, and the parts written by Scott Lin quickly outlined the overall picture in his mind. Nook Xu was immediately shocked. The Jetta that was overhauled according to the parts written on the A4 paper could no longer be called a Jetta, but a top-of-the-line Hummer in a Jetta jacket.

Snow Qin was still wondering when she saw the change in Nook Xu's expression. When she, Scott Lin, and Nook Xu sat on the second floor drinking coffee and the accountant of the auto repair shop showed her the quotation for the Jetta overhaul, she was completely shocked. Then she did not sign the quotation immediately, but called Mathew Chu for instructions...
