Amidst the banter, the group arrived at a massive garage.
Upon opening the roller door, a dazzling array of sports cars greeted Qin Xuan and the other.
"Old Huang isn't just the chairman of the SC Club in Modu, but also a partner to major supercar manufacturers in Longguo," Fu Shan Gao explained with a smile to Qin Xuan and the others, gesturing towards the cars. "So, these cars were all sent by those manufacturers out of respect for Old Huang. They're premium, hand-picked selections, with guaranteed quality!"
Huang Qing chuckled and playfully chided him, leading the group inside. "Don't listen to his nonsense. This kid was one of the first second-generation wealthy individuals to buy supercars in Longguo. When it comes to relationships with manufacturers, he's far more connected than I am!"
"But his operations aren't in Modu, they're in Didu. Otherwise, he wouldn't be sending you to me to pick out cars!"
"You know it!"
"Hahaha!"
Listening to their playful jabs, Qin Xuan and Hu Zi An also smiled. These two top second-generation wealthy individuals from Longguo displayed none of the typical arrogance. On the contrary, they were not much different from ordinary people, engaging in playful teasing and friendly banter. This atmosphere made both Qin Xuan and Hu Zi An feel very comfortable.
"So, what do you think? Have you two decided on any models you'd like to buy?" Huang Qing asked, turning on the garage's spotlights.
Hu Zi An spoke leisurely, "As for me, I want a limited edition. Whether it's a Veyron, a Venom, an Aston Martin, or that one called the Lykan Hypersport, any of them will do."
"Good heavens," Huang Qing and Fu Shan Gao exclaimed upon hearing Hu Zi An's list. The cheapest of these cars cost over ten million Longguo currency upon release. Add to that import duties and limited edition premiums for Longguo, and any of them were not easily attainable. Especially the 'wolf cub' Hu Zi An mentioned, the Lykan Hypersport, a limited production supercar by W Motors. Its manufacturing cost alone was eleven million US dollars, not to mention it was limited to only seven units worldwide. The value of the car alone was close to a hundred million. Furthermore, it was a case of having money but no market.
"Zi An, as expected of the eldest grandson of the Hu family, you speak with such confidence," Huang Qing said with admiration. "However, of the cars you mentioned, only my Venom is available right now."
He then led the three to his Lamborghini Venom. The matte black body, with its textured finish, gave the car an impeccable appearance. "Only three hardtop versions were sold back then, in red, green, and white. Mine was originally white, but I didn't like it, so I had it changed to this."
"I drove it for a while after getting it, but recently some family matters came up, so I'm thinking of selling it."
"Old Huang, what kind of trouble would force you to sell a car?" Fu Shan Gao teased.
Huang Qing shook his head. "It's not that I'm forced, it's just that I feel this car is rarely driven and it's a waste to have it sitting at home, so I want to find it a good home."
Everyone nodded, and Hu Zi An was particularly captivated. "Brother Huang, this car is incredibly cool. What do you say, do you want it?"
Qin Xuan smiled and shook his head. "Your eyes are practically popping out; do you think I'd compete with you for it? If you like it, buy it!"
Hu Zi An grinned, a look of triumph on his face. "Then I won't be polite. Brother Huang, I'll take this car."
Huang Qing, being straightforward, handed the keys directly to Hu Zi An. After all, he was the esteemed eldest grandson of the Hu family in the Southwest; he wouldn't be short of money for a Venom. Opening the door and getting in, Hu Zi An excitedly explored the interior for a while. After examining every corner, he finally got out, completely satisfied.
After seeing Hu Zi An's Venom, it was time for Qin Xuan to choose a car. He informed Huang Qing of the other two models he was interested in, but Huang Qing frowned, looking quite troubled.
"What's wrong, Brother Qing? You don't have them?"
Huang Qing nodded, hesitating. "I don't have those two models here, but I know where to get them. It's just..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that the owner of those cars is not easy to deal with."
"Old Huang, the owner you're talking about, could it be her?" Seeing Huang Qing's troubled expression, Fu Shan Gao immediately thought of a fiery figure. Huang Qing nodded with a wry smile, admitting it. The thought of that person gave him a headache.
"Brothers, what are you two being so cryptic about?" Seeing their distressed expressions, Hu Zi An couldn't help but ask.
Fu Shan Gao then replied with a similar wry smile, "The person Old Huang is referring to is the eldest daughter of Qingying Pharmaceutical, Gu Qingying. She owns many luxury sports cars, including the Apollo and the Bugatti. However..."
"Don't let the name fool you into thinking she's a serene and elegant young lady from a prominent family. In reality, her personality is incredibly fiery. Not only is she short-tempered, but she's also incredibly stubborn. Once she sets her mind on something, no one can change it. Even if the King of Heaven himself came, she wouldn't listen."
"A spoiled princess?" Hearing Fu Shan Gao's description, Qin Xuan conjured an image in his mind of a rich young lady in a red leather suit with a volatile temperament.
"Something like that," Fu Shan Gao nodded.
"But even if her temper is explosive, we should be able to buy cars from her normally, right? Why do you two still have such expressions?" Hu Zi An asked, confused.
Huang Qing took over again. "Zi An, you don't know. Trying to buy a car from her is as difficult as climbing to heaven. As Old Fu mentioned earlier, this woman is very fond of supercars. But that's not entirely accurate. She doesn't just like supercars; she loves racing them! As long as you can beat her in a race, she'll willingly give you the car, or even let you have it for free if you ask. The problem is, her racing skills are simply outrageous! Not only have all of us and the members from Old Fu's side been defeated, but even some amateur drivers who frequently race have never won against her! This makes her look down on people like us. Trying to buy a car from her is incredibly difficult."
After hearing their words, Qin Xuan and Hu Zi An fell silent. Hu Zi An had never encountered such a peculiar woman. Qin Xuan, on the other hand, felt a surge of competitive spirit. The feeling came out of nowhere, yet he couldn't resist it. Right now, all he wanted was to race against that woman. Not to buy a car, but solely for victory.
"I want to meet her. Preferably, I'd like to have a race with her." After a moment of silence, Qin Xuan couldn't suppress his inner desire.
Huang Qing and Fu Shan Gao exchanged glances, both stunned by Qin Xuan's words. "Qin Xuan, racing isn't child's play. When we get together, we mostly just run laps on the track or time ourselves, which is generally safe. But that woman is different; when she drives, it's as if she doesn't see other cars. She drives recklessly!"
