Chapter 15 Cars are just toys.

"Hello, ma'am. I apologize for neglecting you earlier. I noticed you've been speaking a lot, so you must be thirsty. We have coffee and juice in the shop. Would you like some?" Zhang Xin offered an apologetic smile and immediately provided a solution.

This person had a good attitude. Ling Yue reined in her sharp demeanor and smiled at her. "Just a glass of warm water, please."

"Please wait a moment." Zhang Xin turned and walked into the lounge. Before long, she returned with a cup of warm water.

Ling Yue took a sip. "What are some of the higher-end models you have here?"

Zhang Xin's eyes lit up slightly. "Please follow me."

Not far away, Li Feng threw his car-wiping rag onto the table and watched the two of them with great interest.

How hilarious, going to look at high-end models.

Is this Zhang Xin some kind of fool?

"Little Li." Just then, the customer who had booked a test drive arrived at the store.

Li Feng had no time to watch Zhang Xin make a fool of herself and eagerly ran over to greet the customer.

"President Long, since you said you were coming for a test drive, I just wiped down the car inside and out." Li Feng had a flattering smile plastered across his face, making his round, flat face look like it had just been fried in a wok—greasy and oily.

The man addressed as President Long looked very plump and carried himself like someone with money to burn. "Hmm, take me to see it. If the price is right, I'll take it today."

"Right away, right away!" The car Li Feng led him to see was also a high-end luxury model.

He personally opened the car door for President Long. "Our A8 50TFSI gives you ultimate prestige in both class and appearance! Driving it out will absolutely match your temperament!

Feel this leather. It's German Bavarian steer belly leather, skin-friendly and soft. For a successful boss like you who occasionally drives out for business trips, sitting for long periods won't hurt your lower back.

If you buy it now, you can get the top-spec version for less than a million."

"Hmm, not bad." President Long pursed his lips and shook the steering wheel back and forth.

Zhang Xin led Ling Yue to a spot diagonally opposite Li Feng.

A blue sedan was parked here.

"This is currently Audi's most luxurious model, the A8L Horch Founder Edition 60 TFSI. It has a spacious rear, a D+ class body size, upgraded seats, and focuses more on the sense of space and riding experience.

The rear seats also feature eight massage modes. Whether you are attending a dinner party or hiking on the weekend, you can enjoy a relaxing moment the moment you get in the car.

The base price is just over two million, and the top-spec out-the-door price is around 2.5 million plus.

You can customize a unique, exclusive model, with delivery in as fast as three months."

Ling Yue frowned slightly upon hearing this. "We have to wait as long as three months?"

Zhang Xin said, "Under normal circumstances, if you go with a customized body, production usually only starts after the order reaches the factory, so the waiting time is longer."

President Long only caught the words 'customized' and 'exclusive' and instantly became interested as well.

He opened the car door and walked towards Ling Yue's direction.

"President Long." Li Feng trotted to keep up.

The price of the A8L was more than a million over President Long's budget.

But President Long looked like a rich man. To rich people, buying cars was just like buying toys—it was just a matter of raising the budget a bit.

If President Long could buy this car, his commission would more than double!

Li Feng began to pitch even harder. "President Long, you heard it just now. This is a high-end luxury car from Audi that has collectible value. A super sleek body, incredibly luxurious interior—driving this car out will instantly give you maximum prestige!

This car is a symbol of identity, a business card of status! Compared to the regular A8L, this A8L Horch seems tailored specifically for you!"

"This car is awesome." With an arrogant look, President Long shoved aside Ling Yue, who was standing by the car door.

He leaned over the car window and reached in to feel the interior. It felt silky smooth—this was the ride of his dreams!

There was a chance!

Li Feng followed suit and pushed Zhang Xin aside, greedily stepping up to President Long's side. "President Long, why don't you get in and try it?"

"That's not quite appropriate, is it?" Zhang Xin interrupted, maintaining a polite smile. "Brother Li, my customer was looking at this car first. Even if you want a test drive, shouldn't we follow the rule of first come, first served?"

Li Feng sneered, "Oh, please. She's just looking for nothing anyway."

"And your President Long can afford it just by looking?" Ling Yue lightly crossed her arms and stared at Li Feng with a playful look.

"Of course. President Long bought his first A5 from me.

In the past two years, President Long's business orders have exploded, and his assets have long since upgraded. An A8 is nothing but a toy to President Long." Li Feng spoke as if it were a matter of course, not forgetting to flatter his client.

"Oh?" Ling Yue dragged out the sound, casually glancing at President Long. "It seems this Li Feng is very close to you, making decisions on your behalf in just a few words.

If President Long wants to buy this car, I won't hesitate to let you test drive before me.

But President Long, are you buying it?"

This President Long indeed liked the A8L very much, but Ling Yue hadn't missed the flash of regret in his eyes when he touched the car's interior.

He couldn't afford it, at least not right now.

President Long's face instantly turned sour, and he glared straight at Li Feng.

This crappy Li Feng! He just thought the car was awesome and came over to take a look. Who did this guy think he was, making decisions for him!

If he said he wasn't buying it, wouldn't he lose face in public!

It was all the fault of this presumptuous Li Feng!

Even as slow-witted as Li Feng was, he could feel the awkward atmosphere.

He put on a flattering smile and tried to smooth things over with flattery. "President Long, buying a car is all about fate.

You're in a hurry to buy a car, but the customized version takes at least three months. That's too long and doesn't meet your requirements."

"Right, I don't like waiting too long." Given an out, President Long's expression softened slightly.

Ling Yue clicked her tongue twice, her tone overflowing with mockery. "That shouldn't be the case. Didn't the Li Feng say that buying a car is as simple as buying a toy for President Long?

What does it matter if you have to wait? Why not buy a customized model first to symbolize your status, and then buy an ordinary car to drive in the meantime? Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?

Cars are just toys, after all. Right, President Long?"

President Long kept a stiff face, throwing resentful glares directly at Li Feng.

Li Feng couldn't vent his anger directly at Ling Yue, so he turned his target to Zhang Xin. "Zhang Xin, your customer must be thirsty. Hurry up and take her to the lounge."

Ling Yue drank the cooled water in her paper cup in one gulp, crumpled it into a ball, and tossed it. The trash landed steadily in the nearby bin.

"President Long, your Li Feng really doesn't know how to handle things. You've been looking at cars for so long, and he hasn't even poured you a cup of water?" After saying this, Ling Yue watched the situation unfold at her leisure.

President Long raised his hands and looked at his empty palms.

Only then did he realize he had been neglected.

Li Feng slapped his forehead, bowing, scraping, and apologizing profusely, lowering his posture completely. "I am terribly sorry, President Long! I was just too excited when I saw you.

I thought about how busy you usually are with a myriad of affairs, and how every second of your time is precious, so I didn't dare to delay.

It's my fault, all my fault! Let me get you a coffee. I'll hand-grind it for you using our best beans."

Ling Yue played with a strand of hair on her chest. "Did you forget, or do you just not care at all?

It's not your first day as a Li Feng either. Claiming you forgot is as absurd as not closing the door when using the restroom."

President Long was already angry.

Two years ago, when he bought the A5 from Li Feng, this young man had served him as if serving his own father.

Saying he forgot was actually just looking down on him!

"Fine, kid. You're something else!" With a dark face, President Long gave Li Feng a thumbs-up.

Li Feng's face went pale instantly. "President Long, don't listen to her nonsense. She can't afford a car herself, so she finds fault with everyone. This kind of person is just mentally twisted and loves to stir up trouble."

"Who says I can't afford it?" Ling Yue turned her head to look at Zhang Xin, her finger lightly tapping the body of the A8L. "I want to get this car in the fastest way possible. I don't care about the configuration or the color. Whether we pay extra to intercept someone else's order or expedite a new one.

Name a price, and I'll swipe my card."

Although she had known all along that Ling Yue would buy it, buying it after humiliating Li Feng seemed even more satisfying.

However, out of professional integrity, Zhang Xin remained composed. "Ms. Ling, you only know if a car is suitable after trying it out multiple times. Would you like to sit inside and experience it first?"

Ling Yue looked at President Long with complete indifference. "No need. Cars are just toys, after all."
