The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 10 Maybach? Just a Commuting Car

The manager was indeed thrown out.

Before Chen Xiao could even act, Ji Lao had people throw him out.

After a brief exchange, Chen Xiao learned that Ji Lao was only an honorary president at Jiangcheng Hospital.

Besides being the president of the Jiangcheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, he was also the owner of Tongji Tang Pharmacy.

Tongji Tang had dozens of branches in Jiangcheng alone, and the one Chen Xiao worked at was just one of them.

"Master Chen, I didn't expect you to possess such extraordinary skills, yet be willing to work as a mere pharmacist here. This is truly a case of a great talent hidden in plain sight! I deeply admire you!"

Ji Lao's eyes were full of admiration, clearly from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Xiao smiled awkwardly, thinking to himself, "I only just became a master!"

He joked, "I just resigned, so I'm afraid I can no longer remain hidden."

Ji Lao said directly, "Master Chen, if you don't mind, I would like to give you this pharmacy as compensation."

Chen Xiao shook his head. "It wasn't you who made the mistake. It's not your place to compensate me. If you have something to say, just say it."

Ji Lao's face flushed slightly, and he finally revealed the truth.

"Master Chen has sharp eyes. To be honest, an old friend of mine has contracted a strange disease, and I would like to ask you to take a look and help."

Chen Xiao nodded. "Alright, but I don't have time right now. How about this? Leave me your phone number, and I'll go take a look when I'm free."

Ji Lao was overjoyed. "That would be wonderful!"

After exchanging contact information with Ji Lao, Chen Xiao said goodbye and left the pharmacy.

At the entrance of the pharmacy, Chen Xiao noticed several former colleagues surrounding a BMW a4, their eyes full of envy.

The owner of the sports car, Sun Li, was striking poses, enjoying the worshipful gazes of the crowd.

"Sun Li, your car is so good, so beautiful!"

"I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to sit in such a good car in my life."

...

Sun Li was overjoyed, so happy that she was practically bubbling over.

"Oh, listen to you! When I'm in a good mood one of these days, I'll take you for a ride."

"You don't have to be too envious. This car is only a few tens of thousands. Yao Yang from my family said that he would buy me an even better one for my birthday."

Everyone said that Sun Li was lucky to have found such a good boyfriend, making them envious.

But in their hearts, they were cursing: "Tch, what are you showing off? You're just being kept by a rich guy, what's so great about that? Look at you, getting all smug."

Sun Li saw Chen Xiao by the side of the road and moved gracefully forward.

"Oh, isn't this my useless ex-boyfriend? Where are you going? I'm in a good mood today, how about I give you a ride?"

Chen Xiao turned his head to the side, not even bothering to acknowledge her.

Sun Li snorted in disdain. "Why are you pretending to be so noble? Let me tell you, you may only have this one chance in your life to touch such a good car. Once you miss this village, there won't be another shop!"

As she was speaking, a Maybach stopped in front of Chen Xiao.

A woman with short hair got out of the car, it was Li Ziqing's assistant, Xiao Nan.

Xiao Nan came to Chen Xiao. "Mr. Chen, I'm here to pick you up to go to the hospital."

Sun Li was slightly stunned. Seeing Xiao Nan's appearance, which was no less beautiful than her own, she felt a twinge of jealousy in her heart.

"No wonder you wouldn't ride in my car. So someone's here to pick you up. But come to think of it, it's really embarrassing for a grown man to not even have his own car!"

As soon as Sun Li finished her sarcastic mockery, Xiao Nan took out the car keys and handed them to Chen Xiao.

"Mr. Chen, for the sake of convenient travel in the future, please accept this car."

Although Chen Xiao didn't know much about luxury cars, he knew that the Maybach in front of him was expensive.

"I'm so sorry..."

Before Chen Xiao could refuse, Xiao Nan interjected, "It's just a means of transportation, you don't have to be polite."

Sun Li snorted in disdain again. "So it's just a means of transportation, I'm afraid it's a domestic knockoff, not comparable to my BMW z4!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Nan chuckled.

Sun Li was annoyed. "What are you laughing at? Could it be that your knockoff is more expensive than my BMW?"

Xiao Nan spread her hands. "It's not very expensive, but it's more than enough to buy three or four of your cars!"

Sun Li didn't believe it. "Stop bragging! Just because you say so?"

"If you don't believe me, look it up!"

"I'll look it up, you think I wouldn't?"

Although Sun Li didn't have much knowledge, she was quite proficient with her phone.

Soon she found the price of the Maybach.

Staring at the screen, she was dumbfounded, her face changed, and she couldn't speak.

She had exchanged her body for this BMW z4, how could she let Chen Xiao, her useless ex-boyfriend, outdo her?

Unfortunately, the fact was right in front of her, and she couldn't accept it.

"Chen Xiao, you just wait, I'm going to find Long Yaoyang now. I'm going to make him buy me a car that's three times, no, ten times better than yours!"

Seeing that Sun Li was about to leave, Chen Xiao kindly reminded her.

"Are you going to find Sun Yaoyang? I advise you not to look for him recently!"

Sun Li laughed triumphantly again. "Are you jealous? Are you still thinking about me? But let me tell you, don't be delusional, the more you don't want me to go, the more I'm going to go!"

Chen Xiao was speechless and made a gesture to please yourself.

I kindly reminded you, but you didn't listen, so there's nothing I can do!
