85: Chapter 85: Do I still need to pay the full amount?

Zhang Qi put away his phone and shoved it into his pocket.

He listened to the voice message Qian Mengsheng had sent, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

With this shield, his parents surely wouldn't pester him about going on blind dates anymore.

In all fairness, Chen Nianshu was truly a stunning beauty.

Not only was she pretty, but she was also a highly educated PhD graduate from a prestigious university.

But right now, Zhang Qi really had no intention of rekindling his relationship with his first love.

If he hadn't obtained this tycoon system.

He wouldn't have minded getting back together with his ex-girlfriend and living a stable, peaceful life.

Come to think of it, his habit of becoming a simp whenever he fell in love...

...had truly been formed back when he was with Chen Nianshu.

Chen Nianshu was a bit aloof by nature and also had a bit of a clean-freak streak.

But her character was truly impeccable.

As long as you treated her well, she would treat you with genuine sincerity in return.

It was precisely because of this first love experience that Zhang Qi developed a fixed mindset.

That as long as he poured his heart and soul into his girlfriend, she would return the favor in kind.

Unfortunately, few of the girls he met later were as decent as Chen Nianshu.

He applied this habit to Sun Qianwen, only to be met with betrayal and endless demands.

The fundamental reason Zhang Qi didn't want to rekindle his first love now...

...was simply because he was rich now.

Exceptional women were lining up to throw themselves at him.

Chen Nianshu was from the same village as him, and both their parents knew each other well.

Plus, they were each other's first love.

Once they started dating again, it would definitely be with marriage in mind.

Zhang Qi didn't want to walk into the cage of marriage so early.

Giving up the whole forest for a single tree—he definitely wouldn't do such a losing business.

It was better to keep some distance and leave the beautiful fantasy of first love in his heart.

Zhang Qi shook his head, shaking these thoughts out of his mind.

Manager Chen Danni and Qian Mengsheng were more delightful.

They were obedient and sensible; as long as he gave them money, they provided high emotional value.

No need to coax them, and no need to guess what they were thinking.

This was the kind of relationship life adults should have.

Enough digression.

Just as Zhang Qi was mulling these things over in his head...

Manager Chen Danni had already driven the grey Volvo steadily into the Shenzhen Auto City.

The car pulled up in front of a massive glass-walled showroom.

The conspicuous double-R logo above the entrance shimmered with a luxurious luster under the sunlight.

This was the largest Rolls-Royce dealership in Shenzhen.

As soon as the Volvo parked in the spot at the entrance, a receptionist in a crisp suit immediately walked up to greet them.

Although this older model Volvo didn't stand out in an auto city filled with luxury cars...

...when the door opened and Zhang Qi stepped out with Manager Chen Danni and Qian Mengsheng...

...the receptionist's expression changed instantly.

A young man wearing high-end casual clothes with a Patek Philippe on his wrist.

Accompanied by two top-tier beauties with exceptional temperament and stunning looks.

One mature and cold, the other youthful and sweet.

This entourage, this aura—he was clearly a top-tier young master with unfathomable wealth.

The receptionist immediately put on a warm smile and hurried forward.

He bowed slightly and made a standard gesture to invite them in.

"Hello, sir. Welcome to the Rolls-Royce Shenzhen Center."

Zhang Qi nodded slightly and walked into the showroom with the two women.

The air conditioning in the showroom was blasting, and the air was filled with a faint, high-end fragrance.

The polished marble floor clearly reflected their figures.

"Do you have any cars in stock?"

Zhang Qi didn't waste words, stopping to look at the receptionist.

"The kind I can drive away today. Take me to see them directly."

The receptionist was visibly stunned by these words.

Customers who came to buy a Rolls-Royce were either rich or noble, but they almost always needed to customize them.

From selecting the paint color and interior materials to the style of the starlight headliner, it usually took half a year or even longer.

It was truly rare for someone to walk in and ask to buy a car in stock to drive away immediately.

However, the staff at Rolls-Royce were highly professional, and he reacted quickly.

"Sir, if you want to take a car today, we only have the display models available."

The receptionist explained respectfully.

"To showcase the ultimate craftsmanship of Rolls-Royce, the display models are usually fully loaded."

His implication was clear: the display models were top-spec, so the prices were naturally the highest.

Even if average customers could afford them, they might not be willing to pay for those flashy but impractical optional features.

But Zhang Qi didn't care about that at all.

What he lacked least right now was money; what he feared was that the car wasn't expensive enough.

"No problem. Take me to see them."

Zhang Qi's tone was as calm as if he were talking about picking a fish in the kitchen.

"Very well, sir, please follow me."

The receptionist was overjoyed and hurried to lead the way.

The receptionist secretly guessed Zhang Qi's identity.

He knew most of the well-known second-generation rich kids in Shenzhen, but this one was completely unfamiliar.

Could he be the heir to some invisible wealthy family?

Whoever he was, as long as he could pay for this rolls-royce phantom in full, he was a top-tier big shot he couldn't afford to offend.

He decided he must provide the ultimate service and try to leave a good impression on this big shot.

He led Zhang Qi and the two women through the spacious showroom to the core VIP display area.

A black sedan with an incredibly powerful aura sat quietly under the spotlight.

This was a rolls-royce phantom EWB, the extended wheelbase custom version.

The body was long and heavy, and the classic Parthenon grille shone brilliantly under the lights.

The Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament stood high, exuding an inviolable sense of nobility.

The paint was a deep diamond black, the surface as smooth as a mirror, without a single flaw.

The receptionist put on white cotton gloves and gently opened the iconic suicide door.

"Sir, this extended wheelbase Phantom is equipped with top-tier aviation-grade independent seats."

He turned to the side, showcasing the incredibly luxurious interior space to Zhang Qi.

"The interior uses top-tier Hermès orange calfskin, hand-stitched."

"The roof is a custom shooting star starlight headliner, and the wood trim is made of precious walnut wood."

"The rear seat is also equipped with a hidden champagne cabinet and custom crystal glasses."

Zhang Qi leaned in and took a look inside the car.

The rear space was absurdly large; even with his legs crossed, he couldn't touch the front seat.

The leather of the seats looked incredibly soft and delicate, far superior to Manager Chen Danni's Volvo.

This was a true top-tier executive car meant for enjoyment.

If he went out with a few women in the future, sitting in the back would be absolutely spacious and comfortable.

Manager Chen Danni couldn't help but reach out and touch the Hermès orange calfskin seat.

The delicate texture made even this experienced financial elite gasp in admiration.

Qian Mengsheng was staring at the shooting star starlight headliner, her eyes filled with stars.

She imagined how romantic it would be if she could sit in this car.

Zhang Qi nodded with satisfaction and withdrew his gaze.

"Not bad, it looks quite pleasing."

He turned to look at the receptionist and asked casually.

"How much would it cost to get this car on the road?"

The receptionist's smile grew even brighter; he knew this deal was likely in the bag.

"Sir, because this car has a large number of top-tier custom accessories..."

He bowed slightly and quoted a number that would make ordinary people despair.

"Including purchase tax and insurance, the total price on the road is exactly 15 million yuan."

Hearing this number, Zhang Qi raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Hmm, that's alright."

He muttered to himself, feeling that the price was actually a bit cheap.

But then he thought, a one-time expenditure of 15 million would trigger a 30 million rebate.

This deal was quite decent, definitely more profitable than buying that 2 million-plus Porsche.

Zhang Qi appeared calm and collected, but Manager Chen Danni and Qian Mengsheng standing behind him were not.

Qian Mengsheng's round almond-shaped eyes widened instantly.

She subconsciously covered her mouth, afraid she might gasp out loud.

15 million.

To her, this number was like an astronomical figure, completely out of reach.

Even if she worked for a hundred years, she wouldn't be able to save that much money.

If this money were put in the bank to earn interest, it would be enough for a person to comfortably achieve financial freedom.

Manager Chen Danni's breathing also became a bit rapid.

Although she had been in the financial circle for ten years and had handled countless funds...

...those were public funds, not her own money.

She still remembered the despair she felt after embezzling 30 million in public funds for stock trading and losing it.

And now, Zhang Qi spent 15 million just to buy a car for getting around.

This attitude of treating money as mere numbers once again severely shocked her perception.

Manager Chen Danni turned her head and exchanged a look with Qian Mengsheng beside her.

Both women's eyes flashed with the same shock and curiosity.

They both knew that Zhang Qi never looked at prices when buying things and always paid in full.

But that was a few million in expenses.

This was a 15 million top-tier rolls-royce phantom.

In this current economic climate, who could hold such a massive cash flow in their hands at any time?

They couldn't help but have the same question pop up in their minds.

Could it be that Brother Qi is going to pay for this 15 million Rolls-Royce directly in full with a card?
