11: Chapter 11 Treating Trash as Treasure
Lin Yu's attitude toward Lin Xiao over the past two days hadn't been very good.
However, Lin Yu had lived in this house for twenty years after all, so it was impossible for everyone not to have any feelings for him at all.
They thought that perhaps Lin Yu was just having trouble adjusting.
Now, he might have thought things through and wanted to apologize to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao didn't refuse; he wanted to see what kind of mischief Lin Yu was trying to pull this time.
The next day, Lin Yu really did take Lin Xiao to a 4S dealership specializing in imported luxury cars.
But unexpectedly, Lin Yu's group of fair-weather friends were already waiting there early on.
Seeing Lin Yu and Lin Xiao arrive, they began to jeer.
"Yo, Lin Yu, is this the new son your parents brought back?"
"What a total bumpkin!"
"..."
In reality, Lin Xiao's appearance was much better than Lin Yu's.
His face was angular with handsome features.
He had a tall, slender build, standing half a head taller than Lin Yu.
He also had solid muscles developed from years of farm work, along with a pair of long legs.
He looked just like a male lead straight out of a Korean drama.
It was just that his skin was a bit worse, having been exposed to the elements for so long, making it somewhat dark.
His hair wasn't well-groomed and was quite messy.
The clothes he was wearing had been bought by Xiao Li previously; since she didn't know Lin Xiao's preferences, she had bought them according to Lin Yu's style.
Wearing them now, Lin Xiao looked somewhat incongruous.
This was one of the reasons why these people mocked him.
But Lin Xiao knew in his heart that these people were Lin Yu's friends, and no matter what he looked like, they wouldn't miss this chance to ridicule him.
Lin Xiao couldn't be bothered with them and walked straight into the store.
A store specializing in luxury cars like this usually didn't have many people on weekdays.
When they entered, several salespeople rushed over at lightning speed as if they had suddenly been injected with adrenaline.
"Gentlemen, what kind of car are you looking for?"
"Do you have a preferred model?"
"I can introduce them to you!"
"..."
Just as Lin Xiao was about to smile and state his requirements, he discovered that these salespeople had directly ignored him and gone straight to the others.
His eye couldn't help but twitch slightly.
They really were judging people by appearances; was the discrimination really so undisguised?
Lin Xiao didn't say much; since the salespeople ignored him, he would just look around himself.
It had to be said that this store was certainly not aimed at ordinary people.
The cheapest car cost two million, and in the center sat the store's prized possession—a limited edition model that was priceless.
After walking around, Lin Xiao's gaze locked onto an Aston Martin SUV.
He was tall, and driving a sports car would be too cramped.
Although this SUV looked somewhat inconspicuous, it suited him better.
"Over three million, tsk tsk, it's really expensive."
As Lin Xiao sighed, he reached out to open the car door to check the interior.
But before he could touch it, a shrill cry came from behind him, "Ah, what are you doing!"
Immediately, a woman in her thirties walked over quickly.
"Are we not allowed to touch the cars here?" Lin Xiao asked, frowning.
"If you aren't buying, why are you touching it! What if you scratch it? Can you afford to pay for it?"
The woman blocked Lin Xiao, looking at him with disdain.
Lin Xiao was almost amused to the point of laughter.
He couldn't be bothered to argue with such a crazy woman, so he simply walked over to the tables and chairs nearby and sat down.
He wasn't in a hurry anyway; he wanted to see what kind of expression these salespeople would have after bustling about for so long, only to find out that those people had no intention of buying a car.
Just then, a cup of warm water was handed to him.
Immediately after, a timid voice rang out, "I also think it's quite expensive."
"What?" Lin Xiao raised his head in confusion.
He saw a petite and cute girl standing in front of him, smiling shyly at him, and lowering her voice to say, "I mean the cars here, they are indeed too expensive."
Lin Xiao finally realized that this little girl was agreeing with what he had just said, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"New here?"
"Yeah, I only started my internship last month."
"Hmm."
Lin Xiao silently glanced at the name tag on the girl's chest. Lu Xiaoxiao.
That really was a fitting name.
At this moment, the salespeople surrounding Lin Yu and the others finally noticed something amiss.
These playboys not only had no intention of buying cars but were also toying with them and being rude.
Even though they realized this, they dared not offend them.
They could only force a smile and try their best to appease these young masters.
"Lu Xiaoxiao."
Lin Xiao waved to the girl beside him and said with a smile, "Write up the order; I want this model."
Lu Xiaoxiao seemed not to have reacted yet, standing there blankly for a long time without moving.
Lin Xiao then asked, "When will the new car arrive?"
"Ah, the, the new car... next month!"
Lu Xiaoxiao finally realized what was happening, her cute little face glowing with excitement.
She immediately ran to the office inside, took out the documents for the various procedures, placed them in front of Lin Xiao, and intended to explain them carefully to him.
But Lin Xiao waved his hand, signed his name directly, and handed over a black card.
The whole process was smooth and fluid, without any hesitation.
Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with excitement.
She had been working here for over a month, and this was her first sale!
Lin Xiao felt refreshed as well and stood up to walk toward the door.
The salesperson from before, having been teased by Lin Yu and his group, was already full of frustration with nowhere to vent.
Seeing Lin Xiao about to leave, as if she had found a punching bag, she said, implying something else, "If you aren't buying, then leave early..."
However, before she could finish her sentence, she saw the receipt in Lin Xiao's hand.
Lin Xiao also raised his hand at the right moment, "It's fine to have a bad brain, but it's a problem to have bad eyes, and to like judging people by appearances, treating trash like treasure."
With this one sentence, Lin Xiao had insulted two groups of people.
Lin Yu's expression also turned somewhat ugly.
The other salespeople immediately realized something and looked toward Lu Xiaoxiao, their eyes filled with unwillingness.
Lin Xiao had originally intended to just leave.
But unexpectedly, at the store entrance, he accidentally bumped into a woman of similar age.
"Lin Xiao? Why are you here?"
When the woman saw Lin Xiao's face clearly, her expression immediately turned very bad.
Lin Xiao looked the woman up and down, searching his mind for the original owner's memories.
"Liang Xiaowei?"
After a long while, he finally detected a hint of familiarity in the woman's features.
Liang Xiaowei was his high school classmate and also the former School Beauty of the school.
Back in school, her pure and refined appearance made her the dream lover of many high school boys.
But now, she was heavily made up, and the purity of those days was long gone.
Lin Xiao didn't have a good impression of Liang Xiaowei and didn't intend to make small talk.
However, Liang Xiaowei was unrelenting and shouted angrily, "Lin Xiao, so it was you haunting me! I just rejected your confession back then, didn't I? Why haven't you let me go after all this time?"
