55: Chapter 55 Luxury Cars

Since there weren't many customers, the toyota corolla parked outside the door was very conspicuous.

However, sales consultants for luxury cars are professionally trained, so they wouldn't show any disdain on the surface.

Still, it was a place where people were judged by appearances; since they had stepped out of a car worth just over a hundred thousand yuan, they were likely the type to just look without buying.

Thus, Tan Ya, who was still an intern, was sent over.

"Wenwen, why is it you? And Brother Zhao, hello there."

"Xiao Ya, you said you were interning at a shop introduced by a relative. So it was here?"

Seeing that it was an acquaintance, Tan Ya's tension vanished, and she began to chat familiarly.

"Wenwen, are you here to look at cars? Although I've only just started learning, I can introduce a few to you."

Although Zhao Shuai already had an ideal model in mind, seeing the young girl's eager expression, he let her give it her best shot.

The three of them wandered aimlessly like that, looking at all sorts of models, indeed fitting the profile of customers who only look and never buy.

In the distance, several veteran employees with nothing to do were chatting idly.

"Another one just looking and not buying. The economy's been bad lately, and cars are hard to sell."

"Yeah, Xiao Ya is putting in quite a lot of effort though; she hasn't stopped chirping for a second."

"Tch, I overheard a few bits. She's talking nonsense in several places, mixing up info on different models. And that customer is listening so seriously—a rookie blathering to someone who doesn't understand, quite the match."

"It's all for nothing anyway. I'm going to take a stroll; my legs are numb from standing so long."

The sales manager, Chang Xiangping, happened to see the employees chatting and frowned.

Business had been poor lately, and morale was low; many people had already changed careers, so she couldn't easily lose her temper.

From a distance, she heard a young, naive voice introducing information about various vehicles, but listening closely for a few moments revealed it was full of errors.

She remembered this was a relative recommended by a friend, a female college student who knew absolutely nothing about cars.

Sighing, she couldn't let the girl continue to ruin the shop's reputation, so she hurried over to take over the pair of customers.

As she got closer, Chang Xiangping suddenly felt the male customer looked familiar, vaguely resembling her high school classmate, Zhao Shuai.

Back in high school, although Zhao Shuai was still a bit immature, he was a bright and handsome boy. Coupled with his excellent grades, many girls in the class had actually paid attention to him secretly.

However, since he was openly infatuated with the class beauty, Xu Yuyan, at the time, no one bothered to look for trouble.

But those memories of youth were deeply etched in her heart, just as Zhao Shuai still remembered the 'white moonlight' in his own heart.

"Hello, sir. I am the sales manager here, Chang Xiangping. May I ask if your surname is Zhao?"

Zhao Shuai was stunned for a moment. He had no impression of this name, but being suddenly called by his surname was a bit unexpected.

He wasn't the type of person who could remember the names of everyone in his class. He remembered things he focused on very deeply, but was too lazy to waste any memory on peripheral details.

For instance, he still didn't remember the name of the receptionist at iSport, even though he saw her name tag every day.

After thinking for a few seconds and failing to recall who she was, he gave up. "Hello, my surname is indeed Zhao."

"It really is you, Zhao Shuai. Do you not remember me?"

The woman before him named Chang Xiangping had above-average looks and a proper, decent appearance, but she clearly hadn't reached Zhao Shuai's 'memory threshold'.

"I'm sorry, I have face blindness; I really can't recall clearly."

The woman was slightly disappointed, but only slightly. After all, she had long since found someone she loved, gotten married, and had a child who was already six or seven years old.

"I'm your high school classmate. But back then, you only had eyes for Xu Yuyan. I doubt you can even name a handful of other female classmates."

With that mention, Zhao Shuai seemed to have some impression, vaguely remembering that this person seemed to be some sort of class representative, but he couldn't recall anything more detailed than that.

The two reminisced briefly before Chang Xiangping quickly returned to professional mode. "Old classmate, are you looking for a car? Which one are you interested in? I'll introduce it to you."

"Tan Ya has only been here for a few days and was just talking nonsense. Just pretend you didn't hear it and forget it all."

Ever since Chang Xiangping arrived, Tan Ya had stood behind her like a timid little bird. Hearing the criticism now, she couldn't help but shrink her neck.

"No need for an introduction. I want to buy a panamera 2.9T Executive Edition in Carrara White. I see you have the standard version in the shop; do you have the Executive version in stock?"

Chang Xiangping was slightly surprised. The on-road price for this car was nearly 1.4 million yuan. Even with the current discount of about 14% off, it would still cost around 1.2 million yuan to drive away.

This wasn't a car an average person could afford. Had one of her classmates actually turned out to be such a big boss?

Looking at his clothes, he didn't quite seem like it, but the beauty beside him certainly matched the status of a big boss.

Without overthinking, she took out her phone to check. "Yes, we do. If you want it, I'll have someone drive it over for you."

"That's good. We have other things to do later and want to drive it away today. How long will it take if I pay in full?"

Hearing this, Chang Xiangping hadn't expected her old classmate to be so decisive. If this big deal went through, she would be able to have a much happier New Year.

Ordinary sales consultants preferred loans to earn more in processing fees, but at her level, sales performance was more important.

"Paying in full will save a lot of trouble. I'll personally handle it for you; it won't take long."

"Alright, let's proceed with the payment then."

Meng Yawen, unable to cut into the conversation, could only quietly nudge her best friend. "That Pana-whatever-it-is, how much does it cost?"

Tan Ya swallowed hard before saying dazedly, "The panamera. It's a luxury car very popular with the wealthy and beautiful. It costs over a million yuan on-road, if I remember correctly."

This time it was Meng Yawen's turn to be stunned. "A million... that's enough to buy a house..."

Ever since she met Zhao Shuai, her perceptions had been reorganized over and over again.

In the past, even including the gifts she had rejected, items were only worth a few thousand, at most ten thousand yuan.

But now, just a single set of her swimwear and lingerie together cost over ten thousand. The items in her dormitory had even alarmed the school authorities, who asked her to take them home for safekeeping.

The iPhones and high-end cosmetics she used to have to save for years to buy were now readily available as 'pocket money' purchases.

Lately, her spending habits and lifestyle had undergone massive changes.

And today, she was even about to receive a million-dollar luxury car.

She couldn't quite imagine what a million-dollar car would be like; she had never seen a luxury item of this level in real life.

What would it feel like when she drove a million-dollar car back to campus and met her familiar teachers and classmates?

What kind of expression would her parents have when they saw this luxury item that was worth as much as their entire family's assets?

And all of this was related to Zhao Shuai.

Since meeting him, her entire life had changed.

She couldn't help but gently take his hand.
