37: Chapter 37: That's definitely full payment!

Su Ran walked ahead with elegant strides.

Her black pointed-toe high heels clicked crisply against the smooth marble floor.

The well-proportioned long legs, wrapped in sheer black stockings, crossed alternately beneath the hem of her hip-hugging skirt, each step exuding a natural, swaying allure.

Zhang Qi followed by her side, his gaze sweeping across the showroom before finally resting on a sports car parked in the central display area.

It was a porsche 911 GTS Cabriolet.

The streamlined body resembled a cheetah ready to spring, its iconic frog-eye headlights exuding a cold, mechanical texture.

The body was a sophisticated matte grey, with the black soft-top convertible retracted in the rear.

Paired with darkened forged wheels and red brake calipers, the entire car radiated the charming aura of a suit-wearing thug.

Zhang Qi walked around the car once.

To be honest, he didn't really like this matte grey.

Although car enthusiasts knew it was a classic optional color for Porsche that looked very high-end, in Zhang Qi's eyes, a sports car should be flashy; red or yellow were the most eye-catching.

But the car did look good, especially the low-slung stance and the muscular wide-body rear fenders, which were very much to a man's taste.

More importantly, Zhang Qi was very clear about the style of this top-tier luxury brand.

Porsche never sells base models.

If you want to pick up a car that suits your taste, you have to take the configuration sheet and select features one by one.

Paint costs extra, leather interiors cost extra, and even the embossed crest on the headrest costs several thousand more.

Once you've finally finished configuring it, you still have to wait for the quota, the production schedule, and the shipping schedule.

If you're lucky, you wait three to five months; if you're unlucky, you won't get the car for more than half a year.

Zhang Qi didn't have the spare time to wait.

He was buying a car now, first for transportation, and second to quickly spend the two million plus in his account to trigger the system's double cashback, and by the way, boost his Physique points a bit more.

It was just buying a toy, why be so picky?

If he found one he liked better in the future, he could just buy another one.

Zhang Qi stopped and turned to look at Su Ran, who was following beside him with a beaming smile.

He didn't ask about the car's horsepower, nor did he ask about the zero-to-one-hundred acceleration time, but instead spoke straightforwardly.

"Which colors are available in stock?"

"The configuration doesn't matter, as long as the price is around my budget, that's fine."

As soon as these words were out, the words Su Ran was about to say to introduce the car's performance got stuck in her throat.

She froze for a moment, her beautiful peach-blossom eyes widening slightly, her ruby lips slightly parted, her expression looking a bit dazed and cute.

Su Ran had been working at the Porsche Center for over a year and had hosted all kinds of customers.

Those young rich second-generation kids or big bosses who came to look at sports cars, which one of them wasn't haggling over the configuration sheet, agonizing over whether to choose Bordeaux red interior or a black-red dual-tone, and agonizing over whether to opt for the Burmester sound system?

Yet this person in front of her, buying a top-tier sports car worth over two million, actually didn't care about the color or configuration, just wanted one in stock.

This tone, this attitude.

It didn't sound like he was here to buy a luxury car; it was more like buying Napa cabbage at a vegetable market.

If there's no Napa cabbage today, just grab two heads of cabbage to make do, as long as it can go into the pot.

This almost barbaric casualness left Su Ran in a daze.

But after all, she was a woman with strong psychological resilience and a clear head.

After a brief moment of shock, her professional sales training immediately took over.

Su Ran quickly adjusted her expression, and the bright, intellectual smile returned to her face.

She stepped forward, naturally closing the distance between her and Zhang Qi.

A faint scent of high-end perfume drifted into Zhang Qi's nostrils along with the air conditioning breeze.

"Brother Qi, if you want a car in stock, this is actually the only one right here."

Su Ran pointed to the matte grey 911 in front of them, her voice intentionally lowered, conveying an intimacy as if she were sharing a secret with only him.

"This car is fully loaded.

Special matte grey paint, full leather interior, carbon fiber sports steering wheel, and rear-axle steering; basically, everything that could be selected was selected."

"If calculated according to the normal configuration sheet, the on-the-road price of this car is around 2.7 million."

Speaking of this, Su Ran looked left and right to make sure no other colleagues were nearby, then leaned into Zhang Qi's ear and said in an extremely low voice.

"Actually, this car was ordered by a big client.

The deposit was paid, and the car arrived at the dealership.

But the client's construction payment had some issues, their capital chain broke, and they really couldn't come up with the balance to pick up the car."

"The dealership had no choice but to keep the deposit and bring this car out as a display model."

Su Ran blinked, her tone filled with genuine sincerity.

"Brother Qi, if you really like this car and can finalize it today, I can go talk to the manager directly.

Regardless, since this car has been used as a display model, I can help you lower the price; knocking off about 100,000 is definitely not a problem."

Hearing this, Zhang Qi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, a playful smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

2.7 million, minus 100,000.

That would be 2.6 million.

That's damn too coincidental.

He glanced at the text message on his phone from the bank; the current balance in his account was just over 2.65 million.

This price was just like it had been tailored specifically for him by the system.

Not a penny more, not a penny less; it was just enough to clear out the money in his account and complete a perfectly executed all-in.

And as long as this money was spent, the system's double cashback would arrive immediately.

By then, his balance would immediately soar to over five million.

The thrill of moving money from his left hand to his right and having his assets instantly double made his scalp tingle just thinking about it.

Zhang Qi didn't hesitate at all; he didn't even open the door to sit inside, just nodded directly.

"Alright, let's go with this one."

"The price will be as you said, 2.6 million."

Zhang Qi looked at Su Ran, his tone calm without a ripple, "However, I have one request: the paperwork must be completed today, and I want to drive this car away today.

No problem, right?"

"No... no problem!"

Su Ran really couldn't hold it together this time.

She had always thought of herself as having nerves of steel, capable of remaining calm no matter how difficult a customer or situation she encountered.

But at this moment, facing such an extremely straightforward way of buying a car from Zhang Qi, her facial expression management suffered a brief loss of control.

On her delicate, fair face, there was unconcealable shock and disbelief.

She felt like she was dreaming; everything seemed so unreal.

This was a top-tier sports car worth over two million.

Even if an ordinary person went to the supermarket to buy a few hundred dollars' worth of seafood, they would pick through it repeatedly to check for freshness and would still haggle with the owner to knock off the spare change.

Zhang Qi, on the other hand, spent less than three minutes looking at the car, asked for the price once, and immediately made the decision.

This speed of buying a car was faster than her ordering a cup of milk tea online.

Su Ran took a deep breath, her full chest heaving, the buttons of her white shirt pulled taut.

She forced down her wildly beating heart, swallowed, and tried hard to maintain her professional tone.

"Brother Qi, you will definitely be able to drive this car away today.

I will handle the temporary license plate and insurance for you as quickly as possible."

"However, if you are planning to pay in installments, we currently have a promotion in the store that offers three years interest-free."

Su Ran was planning very considerately for Zhang Qi.

As a salesperson, she naturally hoped the customer would pay in installments, because installments carried financial service fees, and her commission would be higher.

But facing Zhang Qi, she didn't dare to have any selfish motives and was considering it entirely from Zhang Qi's perspective.

"And regardless of whether you pay in installments, I will secure all the complimentary items the store should provide, such as the original hidden dash cam, full-body paint protection film, and several free routine maintenance sessions, and have them all arranged for you."

Su Ran poured out all the discounts and freebies she could offer in one breath.

After listening, Zhang Qi waved his hand casually.

"The freebies are easy to deal with, just arrange them as you see fit."

"But I won't be paying in installments."

Zhang Qi looked into Su Ran's eyes and uttered two words: "Full payment."

Although he had money now, there was no reason to refuse freebies; that was also part of the fun of consumption.

But installments were absolutely out of the question.

What he was aiming for now was to slam 2.6 million out in one go and directly extract over five million in rebates.

Installments? That would be disrespectful to the system.

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ran was completely stunned.

She had her mouth slightly open, her moist peach-blossom eyes filled with shock, and even her breathing stalled for half a beat.

"Fu... full payment?"

Su Ran's voice was trembling.

She had been selling Porsches for so long, and she had hosted quite a few wealthy people.

But she really hadn't seen many who bought such two-million-plus luxury cars with full payment.

In this realistic society, those big bosses and tycoons with net worths over a hundred million actually understood the principles of financial leverage better than ordinary people.

Most of their money flowed through company accounts or was converted into fixed assets.

Even if they really wanted to buy a luxury car, the vast majority would buy it in the company's name to deduct from corporate income tax.

And they would basically choose installment payments, keeping the cash flow in their hands to create greater value.

Who would be stupid enough to take 2.6 million in pure cash to buy a sports car that does nothing but depreciate?

This was no longer a question of whether he had money or not; this was a display of terrifying cash flow.

For a man who could casually take over two million in cash from a personal account to buy a toy, his true financial strength behind the scenes must far exceed her imagination.

"Yeah, full payment."

Watching Su Ran's shocked and unsettled appearance, Zhang Qi nodded with extreme certainty.

"Go and talk to them.

Get the contract ready, I'll swipe the card directly."

"Okay! I... I'll go right now!"

Su Ran came back to her senses as if waking from a dream.

She nodded vigorously, her delicate face flushed red with extreme excitement.

She didn't even bother to straighten her hip-hugging skirt, which had wrinkled from her large movements; she stepped into her high heels, turned, and practically jogged to the other side of the showroom to find Manager Liu Qiang.
