63: Buy a car

mercedes-benz 4S store.

As Chen Su and his companion walked into the store, a Salesperson immediately came over to receive them.

"Hello, how can I help you two?"

"Take us around, we'll take a look first."

"Sure, please follow me."

The Salesperson was a young man around twenty-five years old, wearing glasses and looking polite... "Sir, what price range are you looking for?"

"Around 800,000 to 900,000 yuan total."

"Alright, would you like to take a look at and try this GLE450? The whole car looks very high-end and elegant."

He pointed to a black SUV mercedes-benz car behind him and introduced it to Chen Su.

"Can we take it for a test drive?"

"Of course."

The Salesperson led the two to the test drive vehicle.

Chen Su pulled open the car door and sat inside; the Salesperson tactfully sat in the back seat.

"It's a six-cylinder 2.5T model with 367 horsepower matched with a nine-speed automatic transmission. In terms of actual performance, the absolute power is quite good, and full acceleration has a clear advantage over some competitors' engines."

The Salesperson introduced slowly.

Chen Su stepped on the gas, and the car slowly drove out of the mercedes-benz 4S store.

On the road, Chen Su wanted to test the car's acceleration and stepped hard on the gas pedal.

The roar of the engine resounded, and a strong sensation of being pushed back into the seat came from the chair.

"How does it feel?" asked Li Chuxia, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"It's okay. The acceleration is fast, and the visibility is wide, but the gas pedal feels a bit heavy," Chen Su shared his driving experience.

"I feel it's not as easy to drive as Ye Sheng's E300."

...After returning to the dealership, Chen Su test-drove a few more models.

After testing several within that price range...

...the mercedes-benz S400L suited his experience best.

It was just a bit expensive, totaling about 1.05 million yuan.

It was over 200,000 yuan over the original budget... but he decided to just buy this one.

"Decided on this one?" Li Chuxia asked from the side.

"This one it is. When buying a car, you should get the one that suits you best."

"Do you want to go test drive the bmw across the street too? Compare them properly, otherwise you might feel like you missed out later." Li Chuxia looked at Chen Su with a faint smile.

"Missed out?" Chen Su didn't understand Li Chuxia's words at first.

Seeing her teasing expression, he realized she was mocking him again.

When he went for a test drive before, which "car" was he testing?

He gave a dry cough. "No need, no need. Just this one."

He looked at the Salesperson. "Hello, I'll take this one. How soon can I pick it up?"

"Sir, we have this model in stock. Once you finish the payment, we'll immediately arrange for staff to take it for registration and handle the other procedures. You can drive it away tomorrow morning."

Chen Su nodded. Tomorrow morning would work; he planned to head back the day after, so tomorrow would be perfect for getting used to the new car.

"Alright, let's pay. I'll pay by card."

Chen Su took out his bank card.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I'll go get the card machine." After saying that, the Salesperson hurried to the office to get the POS terminal.

"Do you have enough money?" Li Chuxia asked.

"Barely."

Seeing Chen Su's slightly pained expression, Li Chuxia felt a bit guilty. "I'm sorry, I was a bit willful just now and made you spend so much more money."

She had been truly incensed by that vixen Tian Yulan just now.

In a fit of rage, she had dragged Chen Su away.

Would Chen Su hold a grudge against her for this?

"It's fine. Buying a better one gets it done in one go, saving the trouble of upgrading later."

"I ruined your 'good thing,' aren't you mad at me?"

Chen Su said helplessly, "Why would I be mad at you? My dear young lady, what kind of person do you take me for?"

Only then did Li Chuxia feel at ease.

The Salesperson quickly brought over a POS machine.

Swipe the card, enter the PIN.

Payment successful... By now, it was close to mealtime.

A staff member nearby checked their watch and said, "Sir, it's almost lunchtime. I've already instructed the cafeteria to prepare a VIP meal for you two. Would you like to eat before you head back?"

Chen Su was just wondering where to eat.

"What do you think?" He looked at Li Chuxia.

"Either way is fine with me."

"Then we'll eat here. Thank you for the trouble."

"No trouble at all, sir. You are our VIP; you deserve the best service."

After saying that, the Salesperson led the two of them toward the cafeteria.

Inside the VIP reception private room.

The dining table was covered with various dishes.

"This stir-fried beef isn't as good as yours."

... "This pork rib soup isn't as tasty as the one you stew."

Li Chuxia commented while eating.

Chen Su laughed, "Don't flatter me. This was made by a restaurant chef; how could I compare?"

"Anyway, I just think yours tastes the best."

...After they finished eating, the Salesperson saw them to the door.

Li Chuxia drove Chen Su away.

"Oh, by the way, can you lend me some money? I'll pay you back tomorrow."

"How much?"

"About a million. If you have more, you can lend me more. The more, the better."

"Sure, I'll transfer it to you when we get home."

The system intelligence said the score odds limit was 100,000, but it didn't say there was a limit on win/loss odds.

Anyway, betting on the National Football Team to lose is a guaranteed win.

There's a meme online: if you had started betting on the National Football Team to lose every match since the 1990s, you'd be at least a millionaire, maybe even a multi-millionaire by now.

Who would need to work a miserable 996 schedule or stay up late revising plans?

When they got home, Li Chuxia transferred five million to Chen Su.

Chen Su was startled when he saw it. "My lady, that's too much. Aren't you afraid I'll take your money and hide away in some remote corner of the mountains?"

He had originally planned to borrow a million; even if Li Chuxia had extra, two million would have been enough.

This sudden five million was a lot.

"I'm not afraid. You still have your house and car here, you won't run. Besides, even if you fled to the ends of the earth, I could find you," Li Chuxia said nonchalantly.

Li Chuxia didn't ask what Chen Su was going to do with the money. Everyone has their secrets; if Chen Su wanted her to know, he would tell her naturally.

Over-caring would only backfire.

"Anyway, just use the money for now. No rush to pay it back; I don't need it for the time being."

As the boss of the prestigious Hengchen Group, would she be short on money? To her, five million was probably like 500 yuan to an ordinary person.

She was mainly worried about scaring Chen Su, or she would have given even more.

Li Chuxia didn't stay long before leaving.

"I have some things to do this afternoon, so I might not be back for dinner tonight. Don't wait for me."

"Okay."
