"You offended someone you shouldn't have, and this is the consequence," Manager Chen said coldly. "Don't you know who you offended today?"
The call ended, and Yang Lei stood stunned in the underground parking lot. After careful recollection, he felt something was amiss.
Lu Fan's words from earlier that day in the office had come true. Could it be...?
With this thought, his heart was filled with mixed emotions, unsure of what to do.
Meanwhile, at a car dealership, Lu Fan walked in with Lin Ke. A plainly dressed salesperson approached them with a smile. "Are you here to look at cars?"
"That's right!" Lu Fan nodded, glancing around before smiling at Lin Ke. "Which car do you like? I'll buy it for you!"
"Brother Lu Fan, that's not very good," Lin Ke quickly shook her head. "This isn't an ordinary car; it's very expensive."
"It's alright, I'll pay, you just choose," Lu Fan smiled and sat on a nearby sofa.
Lin Ke felt a bit awkward. Inside the car dealership, several staff members were talking amongst themselves, pointing and whispering about Lu Fan and his group.
"That Xiao Liu is really something. This is a high-end car dealership, and those two look like they can't afford anything, yet she greeted them so enthusiastically. What a waste of effort."
"What can you do? She just likes to put on airs. If her sales target isn't met this month, she'll be packing her bags."
Lu Fan sat on the sofa, hearing their conversation clearly, but he didn't pay it any mind.
"Miss, this car model is excellent. Although it's a bit pricey, the overall appearance is quite good," Xiao Liu introduced, appearing polite and courteous.
"How much is this car approximately?"
Looking at the red car, Lin Ke admired it greatly but was afraid it would be too expensive.
"The total value is 1.8 million yuan. The out-the-door price has already been discounted," Xiao Liu said seriously.
"1.8 million?" Lin Ke's eyes widened in shock. "That's too expensive!"
Before finishing her sentence, she walked towards Lu Fan. The car was indeed nice, but the price was far too steep.
"Xiao Liu, why don't you look at their attire? Do they look like they can afford a Maserati?"
A woman with a glamorous appearance walked over, smirking. "No wonder your sales target isn't met. Even if you work diligently, without discernment, you're still useless."
"Sister Zhao, I know my sales skills aren't as good as yours, but we should explain things to every customer. It's our duty," Xiao Liu said earnestly.
"Oh, are you arguing with me now?" Sister Zhao said abruptly. "I'm just trying to teach you something, and if you don't listen, so be it."
Xiao Liu was infuriated but had no further recourse. Her sales performance was indeed poor, so it was normal for her to be talked about.
Lin Ke came to Lu Fan's side. "Brother Lu Fan, let's go. This car is too expensive; I don't want it."
"I promised you something, and I can't go back on my word. Why wouldn't you want it?" Lu Fan said seriously. "Besides, 1.8 million yuan isn't that much."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure walked in from outside. "Quite a statement. 1.8 million isn't much? What gives you the confidence to say that?"
Lin Ke looked at the newcomer, her brow furrowed slightly. The woman exuded a strong sense of hostility, yet her face seemed somewhat familiar, as if she had seen her at Old Master Bai's birthday banquet.
"Yang Jiaqi, what are you doing here?" Lu Fan glanced at her.
"Of course, I'm here to buy a car," Yang Jiaqi said coldly. "I should be the one asking you that. This is a high-end car dealership; isn't it rather inappropriate for you to be here?"
"What's inappropriate about it? I'm also here to buy a car," Lu Fan shrugged and walked towards the red car.
Beside him, Sister Zhao quickly approached Yang Jiaqi. "Miss, which car would you like? our dealership will never disappoint you."
"Ahem, my boyfriend hasn't arrived yet. When he does, I'll naturally pick the best one," Yang Jiaqi said proudly.
"This is a Maserati, an absolute new model. The out-the-door price is 1.8 million yuan," Sister Zhao quickly introduced.
Yang Jiaqi looked embarrassed. Shen Wei had promised to buy her a car, but he had said it would be within 500,000 yuan. She already owned a 300,000 yuan BMW, but she felt it didn't match her status as a vice president, so she was planning to get a new car.
As Sister Zhao introduced it, Yang Jiaqi approached the red Maserati, her eyes filled with admiration.
"Miss, your elegant demeanor perfectly complements this red sports car," Sister Zhao continued effusively. "Moreover, this is a limited edition, and there's only one in all of Qingzhou."
"I've already set my sights on this car. Isn't it a bit unsuitable for him?" Lu Fan smiled. "There should be a 'first come, first served' rule."
"Sir, I'm not one to say this, but this car is not cheap. Why don't you go and look over there?" Sister Zhao smiled, pointing towards the used cars.
Lin Ke also felt awkward, as she wouldn't even dare to dream of such an expensive car.
"See? This is innate elegance," Yang Jiaqi said proudly, looking at the red sports car. "This car is indeed excellent. Reserve it for me first!"
"Yes, yes!" Sister Zhao replied, overjoyed.
Xiao Liu stood dejectedly to the side. This was the fifth sale Sister Zhao had made, and she was far behind her in comparison.
"Darling, I'm so sorry, I'm late due to traffic," Shen Wei said, walking in with sunglasses.
"It's alright, darling. I think this car is nice," Yang Jiaqi said, touching the red sports car. "Why don't we just buy this one?"
After glancing at the red sports car, Shen Wei looked at Yang Jiaqi. "Have you gone mad? Even I only drive a 500,000 yuan car, and you want to buy such an expensive sports car? Do you really think my Shen family's money grows on trees?"
"Shen Wei, how can you say that to me?" Yang Jiaqi's face turned dark. "I don't care, I want this car. Regardless, I'm a vice president, and this car matches my temperament."
"Impossible!" Shen Wei said firmly. "Besides, I don't have that much money."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Jiaqi's face turned ashen. She had boasted earlier and already reserved the red sports car. Shen Wei's refusal to back down put her in an extremely awkward position today.
"I already said I want this red sports car," Lu Fan interjected, looking at Xiao Liu. "What's the matter? Doesn't your store want to sell it?"
"Of course, we want to sell it!" Xiao Liu quickly replied. "But the price of this car..."
"Isn't it just 1.8 million yuan!" Lu Fan waved his hand and took out a card. "Go ahead and process the paperwork. The password is six zeros."
Xiao Liu paused for a moment before nodding eagerly. Regardless of whether Lu Fan was telling the truth, as a staff member, he couldn't let such an opportunity slip by.
