72: Chapter 72 Car Delivery Ceremony
Inside the showroom, all the staff were lined up neatly, and applause thundered.
Some customers who had just walked in to look at cars glanced over, whispering among themselves.
"What is this dealership doing?"
"Are they holding some kind of event? Giving away eggs?"
"What the hell, giving away eggs? You're crazy. Don't drag me into your embarrassment."
"Just kidding, don't take it seriously!"
Walking across the red carpet, the curtain of the VIP delivery area slowly pulled back.
Two sports cars covered in red car covers sat quietly there, like treasures waiting to be revealed.
"First, please allow me to express our sincerest gratitude to our two distinguished clients on behalf of the Porsche Center."
The manager made a gesture, and staff members immediately handed over two exquisite gift boxes.
"These are Porsche factory-customized key boxes, handcrafted and globally limited."
Zhou Wenying took the gift box and opened it gently.
On the black leather lining, a uniquely shaped key lay quietly, with her name "Wen Ying Zhou" engraved on the keychain.
Qin Shuang's fingers trembled slightly.
Her keychain was also engraved with the name "Shuang Qin," with tiny diamonds embedded between the letters.
This keychain alone was worth tens of thousands.
"Now, please unveil your vehicles together!"
The manager announced loudly.
As the music started, Zhou Wenying and Qin Shuang exchanged a glance and simultaneously grabbed a corner of the red car cover.
The moment the fabric fell away, a chorus of gasps echoed through the showroom.
The ice berry pink 911 GT3 RS on the left was like a beast ready to pounce, its exaggerated rear wing and aerodynamic kit showcasing its extraordinary performance.
The orange 918 on the right was even more eye-catching—hybrid powertrain, gull-wing doors, carbon fiber body; every detail exuded the ultimate craftsmanship built by piles of money.
"This 918 is equipped with a 4.6-liter V8 engine and an electric motor, with a combined output of 887 horsepower and a zero-to-one-hundred acceleration of 2.6 seconds..."
The manager introduced the specs as if he knew them by heart, but Qin Shuang was no longer listening.
All her attention was focused on this supercar that was about to belong to her.
Zhou Wenying was also staring at the supercar in front of her, unable to look away.
The orange body shimmered with a metallic luster under the lights, the interior was entirely made of top-tier leather and Alcantara fabric, and the plaque on the center console indicated this was the 418th unit worldwide.
"Senior, want to go up and try it out?"
Zhou Wenying, having come back to her senses, gently nudged the dazed Qin Shuang.
Qin Shuang woke as if from a dream and carefully pulled open the car door.
The seat fit her body curves perfectly, and the Porsche emblem on the steering wheel gleamed.
She took a deep breath, and the mixed scent of leather and metal flooded her nose—this was the smell of money.
"All procedures have been completed, including insurance and license plates."
The manager respectfully handed over the documents.
"Additionally, as requested, both cars have been fitted with a full set of invisible car covers and explosion-proof window film."
Zhou Wenying nodded, took out her phone to take a few photos of the sports cars, and then pulled Qin Shuang to take selfies in front of the cars.
"Brother Jing," Zhou Wenying sent a voice message, "We've picked up the cars! They're super beautiful! Thank you, Brother!"
A while later, Jiang Jing replied: [Have fun]
These four simple words made Zhou Wenying smile even more brightly.
She turned to Qin Shuang: "Senior, shall we go for a drive?"
Qin Shuang was about to nod when the manager quickly interjected: "Ladies, please wait a moment, we have prepared champagne and photos for the delivery ceremony."
The two women happily took a bunch of delivery photos and were very satisfied.
Next, Zhou Wenying pulled Qin Shuang to sit in their respective sports cars, and staff members quickly stepped forward to guide them through the basic operations.
The start button for the 918 was hidden on the left side of the steering wheel, and the moment it was pressed, the V8 engine let out a deafening roar.
"Miss Zhou, this is a normal sound."
"The 918's exhaust system is specially tuned; this effect is intentional."
The sales consultant explained.
Zhou Wenying took a deep breath and gently pressed the gas pedal.
The engine roar grew louder, and everyone in the showroom couldn't help but cover their ears.
Qin Shuang's GT3 RS was not to be outdone, the roar of its high-revving flat-six engine was equally stunning.
The two supercars drove out of the dealership one after the other, causing passersby to stop and take photos.
"Senior, follow me!" Zhou Wenying shouted as she rolled down the window, "Let's go to the riverbank to take pictures!"
Qin Shuang nodded, her palms already slick with sweat.
A supercar worth millions; one slight mistake and it would be a sky-high repair bill.
But when she truly pressed the gas pedal, all her worries were thrown to the back of her mind—the G-force from the acceleration was like a roller coaster, the scenery outside the window blurred instantly, and the speed numbers on the dashboard climbed rapidly.
It was so exciting!
The two supercars drove into the riverside boulevard one after the other, immediately attracting countless stares.
While waiting for a red light, drivers in neighboring cars rolled down their windows to take photos, and even a motorcyclist gave a thumbs up.
Zhou Wenying chose a scenic spot to park, and as soon as they got out of the cars, passersby crowded around.
"Beautiful, is this car yours? Can we take a picture together?"
"This 918 must cost over ten million, right?"
"Holy crap, isn't this the school belle from our university?"
Unexpectedly, they could run into alumni just by parking anywhere; the world was still too small.
Zhou Wenying handled the social interaction with ease, while Qin Shuang was a bit reserved.
But when someone asked about the origin of the cars, both said in unison: "It was a gift from my boyfriend."
"Senior, let's take some photos~" Zhou Wenying pulled Qin Shuang to lean against the 918 and held up her phone, "Let's post to WeChat Moments!"
Qin Shuang did not resist and proactively wrapped her arm around Zhou Wenying's waist.
The two of them pressed their faces together, with the orange supercar and beautiful scenery in the background; it was a perfect composition.
Zhou Wenying skillfully edited the photos, adjusted the colors, and then began to write the caption:
[Thanks to my dear for the new toy~ So happy to pick up the car with Senior! (Heart)(Heart) @Qin Shuang]
Qin Shuang also edited one:
[My first supercar in life, grateful to have met my true love. @Zhou Wenying Thanks for taking me for a spin, Junior~]
The moment they clicked send, their phones began to vibrate crazily.
Likes and comments poured in like a tide.
[Holy crap! Porsche 918???]
[Doesn't this car cost over ten million? What did you do? Rob a bank?]
[Qin Shuang, when did you start dating a rich boyfriend?]
[Zhou Wenying, you're awesome!]
[This must be being kept, right...]
[So jealous, what kind of god-tier boyfriend is this]
The Art Academy's WeChat group also exploded:
[@Qin Shuang Senior, please introduce me!]
[@Zhou Wenying Junior, do you still need a bestie?]
[Are these two sharing one boyfriend?]
[I heard it's a super rich guy who drives a lamborghini veneno...]
What shocked Qin Shuang even more was that even the usually aloof department head liked her post and commented: [Congratulations, student Qin Shuang, you are young and promising!]
Indeed, this world is just like this; it laughs at the poor but not the corrupt...
Zhou Wenying's WeChat Moments was even more exaggerated, gaining over two hundred likes and nearly a hundred comments in less than ten minutes.
She picked a few to reply to:
[Unified reply: Thank you everyone for the well wishes~ The car is a gift from my boyfriend (Cute)]
Qin Shuang looked at the messages constantly popping up on her phone, suddenly feeling a sense of unreality.
Yesterday she was just an ordinary student, but today she was driving a multi-million dollar supercar, becoming the focus of the entire school.
"Senior, are you happy?" Zhou Wenying leaned over and asked softly.
Qin Shuang nodded, her eyes flickering with complex emotions: "Wen Ying, thank you... If it weren't for you..."
"Don't say that," Zhou Wenying interrupted her, "From now on, we are true sisters. Brother Jing likes sensible girls; as long as we are obedient, he will treat us very well."
She quickly adjusted her expression and affectionately linked her arm with Zhou Wenying's: "Mm, I will learn well from you, sister."
Zhou Wenying smiled with satisfaction, looking particularly radiant in the sunset: "Let's go, Senior, I'll take you somewhere. Brother Jing's Shanshui Manor is huge."
The cunning Zhou Wenying prepared to wash Qin Shuang clean and give Jiang Jing a surprise...
