Despite being incredibly wealthy, I want to be a prosecutor.

Chapter 40 Buying is not as good as renting

The next morning, sitting in a taxi on the way to the provincial capital, Xiao Hei Mei didn't dare to meet Zhou Hong's gaze and kept looking at the pastoral scenery rushing past the window.

According to Zhou Hong, the taxi's first stop was "CGN", the largest taxi company in Chiang Rai.

Zhou Hong walked around the store and stopped in front of a black SUV parked in the most conspicuous spot in the dealership.

The dealership's flagship model is the Mercedes-Benz G 55 AMG, also known as the "G-Class".

The little black girl stayed by Zhou Hong's side the whole time. After they entered the store, a pretty car saleswoman also came over.

"Want to rent this car? I'll pay $20 for 30 years," Zhou Hong suddenly said.

This G-Class costs around 850 million baht in Elephant Country, which is roughly US$20.

The saleswoman paused for a moment, then said, "Sir, this isn't a display car; it's a newly arrived one. We don't rent out our new cars. If you want to rent a car, we have some used cars over there. Shall I take you there?"

"Tell your boss I'll rent it for 30 years for $200,000," Zhou Hong added.

Unfortunately, I can't buy a car under my own name because there's a milestone task for first-time purchase of a "carriage and horse," and the system will reimburse 99% of the cost, but the reimbursement amount cannot exceed my annual salary.

The higher your system status, the more cost-effective it is to buy your first car.

Therefore, renting a car becomes the only option, and it also allows for the reasonable use of system rules.

Of course, if the company is registered, you can buy a car in the company's name, but the problem is that the company is not yet fully registered.

Renting a car for 30 years for $20 is no different from buying it.

But this girl was all looks and no brains. She seemed not to understand what she was saying at all. She thought that she was causing trouble by wanting to rent a new car. No matter what she said, she didn't understand. In the end, she said with a sob that she couldn't rent it.

The young woman was full of questions, also thinking that Prosecutor Hong was looking for trouble.

"Is it necessary for the investigation?" She didn't dare ask.

At this moment, seven or eight people quickly approached. Surrounded by a chubby, fair-skinned man, despite the men's aggressive and intimidating demeanor, he smiled and approached Zhou Hong, saying, "Distinguished guest, would you like to rent a car?"

"Yes, this is it!" Zhou Hong pointed to the store's prized possession. "20 US dollars, I'll rent it for 30 years."

The smiling, cunning boss was about to test the waters of this arrogant young man when he heard Zhou Hong's offer and was stunned. "How much did you say?"

"200,000 US dollars, for a 30-year lease!" Zhou Hong repeated very seriously.

The shop owner squinted and looked Zhou Hong up and down, then, as if remembering something, asked, "What about maintenance costs during your usage period, including if the car breaks down?"

"Of course I'll take responsibility myself!" Zhou Hong shrugged.

"I'll write all of this in the car rental agreement, including fuel, which you'll have to pay for yourself!" The boss stared at Zhou Hong.

Zhou Hong sighed: "It's not as complicated as you think. I can't own a car, understand?"

The boss still looked uneasy. "Then you need to read the car rental agreement carefully later!" Of course, every clause had to be written clearly.

To the boss's surprise, from beginning to end, until Zhou Hong signed the extremely unfair agreement for the tenant, there really wasn't a single problem.

"How about this, I'll rent it to you for forty years, or fifty?" The boss couldn't bear it anymore. It was just like buying a new car, wasn't it? He could rent it to you until the parts were scrapped.

"No need, no need, thirty years is fine! Give me your car dealership's account number, and I'll transfer the money to you," Zhou Hong said with a smile.

This is great. I can use this car rental method for now until I reach the "milestone" of buying a car.

"Here, this is my business card. If there's anything I can do for you in the future, just let me know." The boss handed Zhou Hong a business card.

"CGN Motors in West Hazard," Zhou Hong smiled and nodded.

After transferring the money and signing the car rental agreement, Zhou Hong suddenly paused.

The system popped up a prompt asking if the vehicle was included in the "bus" parking space.

It seems that public vehicles don't necessarily have to be registered in one's own name; it falls under a different logic.

Well, just like the allocation by the government, it doesn't have to be under one's own name anyway.

Similar to the residential area, the "Carriage Module" now has six "bus" parking spaces.

The so-called "official vehicle" means that the system covers 50% of the cost, and all maintenance, fuel consumption and other expenses of the "official vehicle" are reimbursed by the system.

However, the so-called reimbursement of 50% of the car purchase cost, although there is no limit, is of no use.

If I buy a $1 million car, can it fly? I'd have to pay $5000 million out of my own pocket.

Suddenly I was taken aback.

However, the vehicle module has a buff glow, which is the "benevolent elder" effect, and it applies to purchasing public vehicles.

So, if the system originally reimburses half of the funds, and the "Benevolent Person" effect doubles the system's limit, should I expect 100% reimbursement?

Oh, this...

I'll take a good look at it later.

If it's truly 100% reimbursed, then I can't afford to use those six buses for anything fancy.

Suppressing his excitement, he did not choose to purchase the car through the "public vehicle" channel, but paid the rental fee of 20 US dollars as usual, using the "elephant country region" public vehicle quota.

The car dealership owner, Sihasa, was quite bewildered. Whose second-generation rich kid is this? Is spending money this creative?

For roughly the same price, I'm not buying; I'm renting!

What's wrong? Is it fun to own a car registered under someone else's name? Or a wife registered under someone else's name...?

Cough, cough, Sihasa coughed loudly, not daring to think any further.

……

Sitting in the passenger seat of the spacious SUV, the little black girl looked around curiously, touching this and that.

"This car is more useful in the countryside," Zhou Hong said with a smile.

The reason for "renting" the G-Class is that it can also be used when conducting investigations in the countryside. The road conditions in the rural areas of northern provinces of Elephant Country are really terrible. In many places, only vehicles with off-road capabilities are suitable.

The "G-Class" is a top performer when considering both off-road capability and comfort.

Vehicles that are better at off-roading than the G-Class, such as the Hummer, are far less comfortable than the G-Class.

There are several off-road vehicles that are more comfortable than the G-Class, but their off-road capabilities are not as good.

The little black girl nodded blankly, unsure how to respond.

"And also, about yesterday..."

"I know I was wrong, please don't scold me anymore, Prosecutor Hong?" the little black girl said with a mournful face.

Nothing major happened last night, of course; a few thugs were locked up.

"That's not what I meant. What I'm saying is that what I'm doing now is a bit sensitive. Your two girlfriends should be careful not to become my punching bags and get dragged into this mess, ending up in the police station where a lot of people there know about it." Zhou Hong shook his head helplessly.

"Huh? Prosecutor Hong, you already mentioned it yesterday, is the case you're reviewing very important? Will it seriously offend the police?" the little black girl asked curiously.

Hearing Xiao Hei Mei's words, Zhou Hong said "Hmm?", then suddenly realized something, glanced at Xiao Hei Mei and smiled, "Thank you for reminding me. Yes, things aren't that bad."

With a tap of the accelerator, we sped off toward Chiang Rai Vocational College.

The school is the vocational university attended by Zhao Haoming, the son of Boss Zhao, and the "victim" Zhalun.
