187: Installment - 1

Su Ning was half-dragged and half-pulled by Jiang Ye, her feet barely touching the ground as she "floated" into the Zeekr booth.

The nearby salesperson's gaze quickly swept over the two of them, lingering for a moment on the shopping bags printed with various logos, his professional intuition instantly peaking.

"Good afternoon, sir and madam! Looking for a car? I'm the sales consultant Wang Xingli, you can call me Xiao Wang! Our zeekr x focuses on refined urban travel, it's very suitable for..."

"Cough..."

Before he could finish, Jiang Ye waved him off and made a "zipping his lips" motion with his hand, signaling him to shut up.

Xiao Wang was stunned by the gesture. Before he could react, he saw Jiang Ye pull a flyer from the nearby display rack, turn sideways, and place a hand on the cool car body with an obsessed expression:

"Wow... Is this the legendary zeekr x that focuses on refined urban travel and is so suitable for young elites like us?!"

Xiao Wang: "???" (Holy crap? Is business this easy to do nowadays?!)

Looking at the salesperson's bewildered expression, Su Ning was so embarrassed her toes were practically curling through the soles of her shoes.

She quickly grabbed Jiang Ye's arm and whispered a plea:

"Little Brother! Stop messing around! Let's go! Look at what you're wearing... it's so low-class. Let's go, let's go, we'll go over there and buy some clothes that suit you better!"

"..."

Jiang Ye silently shifted his gaze from the car to Su Ning.

Those eyes that were shining just a moment ago instantly dimmed, clouded by a layer of deep disappointment.

He let out a long, melancholy sigh that was full of dramatic flair and unspoken stories:

"As expected... you finally spoke your heart."

He gently pushed away Su Ning's hand, slowly raised his head, and looked up at the bright spotlights at a 45-degree angle, trying hard not to let the tears of "grievance" fall:

"A cowardly person like me always holds back a bit... how could I have once thought of risking everything for someone..."

Su Ning: "..." (Ahhhh! Help me!!!)

Xiao Wang blinked blankly again, subconsciously looking left and right.

Eh?

Did someone... just suddenly sing a tragic song?

He hesitated, feeling that as a salesperson he couldn't just stand there, so he reached out and carefully poked Jiang Ye's arm:

"Sir, you..."

"Shh—!"

Jiang Ye snapped his head back and repeated the murderous "zip your lips" gesture. The look in his eyes was clear: If you dare disturb my acting, I'll kill you!

Xiao Wang's neck shrunk back from the glare, and he instantly shut his mouth.

After successfully suppressing the "outside interference," Jiang Ye turned his attention back to the display car, glanced down at the flyer in his hand, and praised softly:

"What a great car... 420km range, 15-minute fast charge, no pressure for city commuting; 0 to 100 in 5.8 seconds, compact and easy to drive, five-seater space is super practical... Sigh..."

He sighed with regret and glanced at Su Ning with resentful eyes: "No wonder Little Sister Su thinks that way... such a good car, it's Huanhuan... cough! It's me who isn't worthy..."

"..."

Su Ning was really about to cry.

She finally understood that this guy was dead set on scamming her into this car today.

With a long face, she made a final struggle with a sob in her voice: "Little Brother, wake up! I... I don't have enough money... This is 150,000, not 15 bucks!"

"Sigh, you're right, it was just wishful thinking on my part..."

Jiang Ye's expression was extremely "disappointed," as if he were resigning himself to fate:

"What a pity. If only there were some installment policies or loan plans, maybe young people like us, who have dreams but are temporarily short on cash, would have a chance to touch the tail of our dreams..."

After saying that, he waited quietly for two seconds, glancing at Xiao Wang out of the corner of his eye.

Unfortunately, the other party seemed to still be immersed in the shock of the "lip-zipping" and "sudden singing," looking at him blankly without responding.

Jiang Ye frowned and sighed resentfully again, raising his volume slightly:

"Sigh! I wonder if there are any installment policies or loan plans that can help a young person like me, who is insecure but eager for change, realize this small wish..."

After waiting a few more seconds and seeing Xiao Wang still dazed, he finally couldn't take it anymore. He turned and glared fiercely at Xiao Wang, gritting his teeth as he prompted him word by word:

"IN! STALL! MENT! POL! I! CIES! LOAN! PLANS!!"

Xiao Wang was startled by the "murderous" look and finally switched from spectator mode back to sales mode, quickly coming over with a series of "oh oh ohs":

"Yes, yes! Sir! This car supports installment payments, with a minimum down payment of only 20%! The repayment methods are also very flexible!"

After speaking, he glanced secretly at the tearful Su Ning and leaned into Jiang Ye's ear to ask curiously:

"Buddy, you're amazing! Which store are you from? You're working this hard to sell to a friend? Are you trying to be the top salesperson?"

Jiang Ye: "..."

He gave Xiao Wang a speechless look. The latter quickly took a step back and returned to the main topic, giving a detailed introduction:

"The financial institutions we work with review very quickly. If the documents are complete, the preliminary results can be out in about half an hour. As long as there are no issues with qualifications, you can enjoy the minimum 20% down payment plan."

"Qualifications?!"

Jiang Ye's heart skipped a beat, having a bad premonition: "What qualifications?"

"Mainly credit reports and proof of income."

Xiao Wang explained: "If this lady has a stable job and proof of high income, approval will be very easy."

Jiang Ye fell silent.

The drama queen girl didn't have a damn stable job or high income!

Although her income had skyrocketed in the last two months, that bit of cash flow in the eyes of a bank's risk control definitely wouldn't count as "stable."

Sigh, looks like there's no chance today.
