73: Chapter 73 An Encounter at the Car Shop

Since Wu Ya was fine, both Shen Yan and Chen Guangke were relieved.

Just as Chen Guangke was about to hail a taxi back to the company to continue working, Shen Yan grabbed him.

"Wait, accompany me somewhere before heading back to the company."

Half an hour later, they appeared in front of a 4S car dealership.

"Didn't you say we'd get a car in a few days? Why bring me here now?"

As Shen Yan walked into the store, he replied, "It's too inconvenient without a car. If I buy one now, I can drive you back to the company."

Chen Guangke's eyes darted around, thinking Shen Yan was right.

Since they had to buy a car sooner or later, rather than waiting two days and wasting money on taxis, it was better to buy one now and save on those fares.

Happily entering the dealership, the two began picking out a car.

"Hello, gentlemen. What kind of car are you looking for?"

As soon as the salesperson saw them, she warmly brought them each a cup of plain water.

After taking the water, Shen Yan asked the salesperson, "What mid-to-high-end cars do you have here?"

The salesperson enthusiastically began her introduction, "I can tell you're a boss. Many bosses frequent our shop for our best-selling models: mercedes-benz, Volkswagen, and Audi."

"As for which of these three would suit you best, it mainly depends on your budget."

Shen Yan hadn't actually considered the issue of a budget.

To him, as long as he liked it, it was fine.

Just as he was about to answer the salesperson, someone appeared at an inopportune moment.

"Miss Salesperson, I don't think you should bother asking him about his budget. Someone like him has a maximum budget of maybe one or two hundred thousand."

Chen Ling walked up to the salesperson with her arm around Yang Jin as she spoke.

"Don't bother introducing anything to people like this; just let him look around on his own. Why don't you show us the most expensive car in your shop?"

Chen Guangke didn't expect Chen Ling to be here, let alone openly showing up with her new lover.

"I say, do you have no shame at all?"

"What does us buying a car have to do with you? If you want to buy a car, go find a salesperson yourself!"

Chen Ling scoffed and said disdainfully, "I want this specific sales lady to serve me. Got a problem with that?"

Chen Guangke stiffened his neck and replied, "Of course I do! We were here first to look at cars. What right do you have to snatch our salesperson?!"

After observing Shen Yan, Yang Jin replied, "We're doing this for the salesperson's own good. If you don't believe me, ask her: does she want a million-dollar transaction or one worth a mere hundred thousand?"

Chen Guangke rolled his eyes.

"Pah! Stop looking down on people. If we like a car worth one or two million, we can afford it too!"

Chen Ling didn't believe a word of it.

"Give it a rest. With your current financial situation, you're lucky if you can even afford a car worth one or two hundred thousand."

At this point, Chen Ling turned to Shen Yan and asked sarcastically, "Why don't you think about buying back your old car?"

"I remember how much you loved that mercedes-benz. If it weren't for your sister's medical bills, you wouldn't have sold it, right?"

Chen Guangke was furious.

Wasn't Chen Ling bringing this up now just deliberately rubbing salt into Shen Yan's wounds?

Just as he was about to continue arguing with Chen Ling, Shen Yan spoke up.

"Your shop should also sell maybachs, right?"

The salesperson nodded, "Of course! We have all types of cars here. You want to see a maybach? I'll take you there right now!"

With that, the salesperson led them toward the back of the shop.

"This is our latest model—the maybach s68. Take a look and see if you like it."

Before Shen Yan could speak, Chen Ling and Yang Jin's voices came from behind him.

"This car looks great. We'll take it!"

Hearing this, a look of difficulty appeared on the salesperson's face.

"This... I'm sorry, but our dealership's rule is first-come, first-served. These two gentlemen were looking at this car first, so..."

Chen Ling stepped forward smugly, still clinging to Yang Jin's arm.

"So what if they were looking at it first? If they can't afford it, they can't afford it! This car will end up being ours anyway!"

As soon as she finished, Shen Yan asked calmly, "How do you know we can't afford it?"

Seeing that Shen Yan was finally willing to pay attention to her, Chen Ling felt a bit excited.

"Shen Yan, we were husband and wife once, after all. I don't want to say anything harsh."

"But one must act according to one's means. It's true you've started another company, but your company doesn't have any projects right now. To put it bluntly, there's no income."

"In your current situation, spending several hundred thousand on a car is hard enough. You really want to spend several million?"

Shen Yan looked up and smiled.

"Ms. Chen, it turns out you're paying so much attention to me that you even know exactly what's going on with my company."

Chen Ling's expression changed, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

But she quickly regained her composure.

"Don't misunderstand. I haven't been paying special attention to you; I just guessed."

Shen Yan how could possibly believe her excuse?

Regardless of the truth, he saw no need to argue with Chen Ling here.

"Can I take this car for a test drive?"

The salesperson nodded.

"Of course. Please wait a moment while I have our staff drive the car to the Test Track in the back."

After saying that, the salesperson went to call the staff.

During this time, Chen Ling continued to mock Shen Yan incessantly.

"The two of us are ancient history. There's really no need for you to try so hard to save face in front of me."

"You've always been someone who would suffer just to save face. That's your biggest flaw, and you really should change it..."

Chen Ling prattled on and on.

Shen Yan and Chen Guangke ignored her completely.

It wasn't until the salesperson came to invite Shen Yan and Chen Guangke to the Test Track that they finally reacted.

At the Test Track, both Shen Yan and Chen Guangke got into the car.

"Holy crap, as expected of a maybach! It feels totally different!"

As soon as he got in, Chen Guangke's eyes lit up.

He was so excited that he kept touching everything inside, as if he wanted to polish every single part until it shone.

"I'm going to start driving. Put on your seatbelt first."

"You got it!"

Stepping on the gas, Shen Yan began the test drive.

From the aesthetics to the smoothness of the drive, he felt everything was excellent.

It felt much better than his previous six-hundred-thousand-yuan mercedes-benz.

Not only did he feel good about it, but Chen Guangke was also quite impressed.

"Oh my god, I don't even feel like I'm in a moving car. The shock absorption is amazing!"

Shen Yan nodded, stepped on the brakes, and turned to ask Chen Guangke, "Do you want to give it a try?"

Hearing this, Chen Guangke's eyes instantly sparkled.

"Really? Then I definitely want to try!"
