194: Chapter 194 Si Yao trains Ye Ziming, Wang Tengfei happily acquires a Range Rover.
At this moment, inside the Tuatara, Ye Ziming gripped the safety handle tightly, his eyes filled with nervousness as he stared ahead. He pleaded in a trembling voice, "Si, Sister Si Yao, c-can we slow down… This speed is simply too fast." As he spoke, his face had turned pale, and cold sweat was beading on his forehead.
A wild smile curled the corners of Si Yao's mouth, and a flash of coldness passed through her eyes. She glanced at the nervous Ye Ziming beside her, her tone laced with mockery: "Fast? I don't feel like it's anything special." After a pause, she continued in a cold, stern tone, "You brat, you've got some nerve! You're actually in contact with Zhao Lintai, and you even revealed my whereabouts to him!"
Ye Ziming's expression changed, and he hurriedly shook his head to explain: "Sister, it's not like that, you've misunderstood. It was Brother Zhao who approached me. He already knew you were in Shanghai and that you were a member of the Flying Dragon Supercar Club. I just joined the club, and while we were chatting, he asked me to help introduce him... I really didn't disclose it voluntarily."
Si Yao chuckled, unimpressed, and said, "Whether you disclosed it or not doesn't matter anymore. Either way, you're the one who brought him here, aren't you?" She glanced at Ye Ziming and continued, "I heard from Brother Kun that you really like supercars, right? What's the point of liking supercars if you don't get on the track? Since you call me sister, I have a responsibility to show you the true power of a supercar!"
Before the words had even faded, Si Yao slammed her foot down on the accelerator. The engine roared instantly, the RPMs soared, and the ear-piercing sound echoed across the entire club track. Ye Ziming couldn't help but let out an "Ah…" scream, his face turning even paler.
With the screeching sound of tires against the pavement, a lap of the track flew by. The car executed a beautiful drift and braked sharply at the starting position. The passenger door popped open with a "bang," and Ye Ziming, covering his mouth, stumbled out of the car and staggered to the side to dry heave.
Xing Zhenkun witnessed everything and wore a helpless, bitter smile. He pointed at Si Yao, who was leaning against the driver's door with a wicked grin, then walked quickly to Ye Ziming's side, patting his back while asking with concern, "Young Master Ye, are you okay?"
"Ugh," Ye Ziming dry heaved, raising his hand to signal he was fine, but his deathly pale complexion couldn't hide his wretched state.
Zhao Lintai watched this scene, couldn't help but swallow hard, then turned to look at Si Yao and gave her a sincere thumbs-up.
Si Yao strode up to Zhao Lintai, her brows furrowed, staring at him with a burning gaze, her tone filled with displeasure: "Zhao Lintai, you actually investigated me? How did you know I was in Shanghai? And that I was a member of the Flying Dragon Supercar Club? You'd better confess honestly, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
A look of embarrassment appeared on Zhao Lintai's face. He rubbed his nose and replied somewhat guiltily, "Um, Young Miss Si Yao, I'm truly sorry. I only found out last weekend that we had an arranged marriage. I felt it was necessary to learn a bit about you, so I… asked someone to inquire. It's just human nature, I hope Young Miss Si Yao doesn't mind."
"Hmph," Si Yao snorted coldly, frowning as she continued, "What kind of bullshit 'human nature' is that? I didn't ask anyone to pry into your business! Let me tell you, I hate it when people pull stunts behind my back the most!" With that, she turned her head away, her face full of displeasure.
Seeing this, Zhao Lintai raised an eyebrow and apologized with a sheepish laugh, "How about this, lunch is on me, consider it an apology to Young Miss Si Yao. Whatever punishment you want to inflict on me, I'll accept it—will that do?"
The corners of Si Yao's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a sly smile as she thought to herself, "Daring to investigate me, I have to make you pay a price!" On the surface, however, she acted as if she were reluctant and nodded, "Fine, you said it yourself."
Having said that, Si Yao turned and walked toward Xing Zhenkun and Ye Ziming, crossing her arms and urging them with a provocative tone, "Hey, are you still okay? If you're puking like this just from sitting in a car, how are you going to participate in club activities in the future? Maybe you should just quit."
Hearing this, Xing Zhenkun glared at Si Yao and waved his hand, saying, "Yaoyao, don't cause trouble. Young Master Ye was invited by me, and our Flying Dragon Supercar Club needs his strong support for future development. Don't add to the chaos here."
"Tch!" Si Yao shook her head dismissively, then said to Ye Ziming, "Young Master Ye, you're not up to scratch, you need to practice more! You'll get used to the puking eventually. How about I take you for a few more laps?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ziming hurriedly stood up, took two steps back, and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, Sister Si Yao, you're my own sister. Let's just call it a day, we can practice some other time, okay?"
"Then are you still going to puke?" Si Yao asked playfully.
"I won't, I won't." Ye Ziming answered quickly, fearing that Si Yao might go for another joyride at the slightest provocation.
"Well, since you're not puking anymore, let's go? I haven't even had breakfast yet." Si Yao said, then looked at Xing Zhenkun, "Zhao Lintai said he's treating, where are we going for lunch?"
"Uh, Yaoyao, where do you want to go? You decide." Xing Zhenkun asked.
Si Yao's eyes lit up. She glanced at the standing Zhao Lintai and smiled slyly, "Since Young Master Zhao is treating, we must go to the most expensive place! That's the only way to show Young Master Zhao's sincerity. Let's go, to Xijiao No. 5!" As she spoke, she looked at Ye Ziming on the side and asked teasingly, "Young Master Ye, want to ride in my car?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ziming was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, that's okay. I'll just ride in Brother Kun's car."
Xing Zhenkun shook his head helplessly, looked at Chu Muyun, and said with a smile, "Mu Yun, go ride in Yaoyao's car. I'll drive Young Master Ye and Young Master Zhao."
Chu Muyun nodded in agreement. Si Yao immediately beamed, took Chu Muyun's hand, and enthusiastically helped her into the passenger seat before quickly walking around to the driver's side and getting in.
Xing Zhenkun didn't forget to urge her, "Yaoyao, drive slowly, that's your future sister-in-law!"
Si Yao simply waved her hand and closed the car door. Xing Zhenkun shook his head helplessly, then invited Ye Ziming and Zhao Lintai to get into his rolls-royce cullinan.
Just like that, the five of them in two cars slowly drove out of the club and headed in the direction of Xijiao No. 5.
...
Meanwhile, inside the Sales Department office of Wanhao Car Dealership, Qin Yi circled two names on a piece of paper with a pen and read them softly: "Let's go with these two. The financial investment company will be called 'Yiqin Capital Investment Co., Ltd.', and the entertainment media company will be called 'Yiqian Media Co., Ltd.'. Qianqian, what do you think?"
Xu Qian sat nearby, watching Qin Yi, a warm current welling up in her heart. She hesitated for a moment before asking, "Young Master Qin, are you really not going to reconsider the name of this entertainment media company?"
Qin Yi looked up, smiled at Xu Qian, reached out, and gently took Xu Qian's slender hand, saying softly, "No need, Yiqian Media, I think this name is great. Once the company is established, you and Xiao Yue can help me manage the affairs of the entertainment media company. As for the dealership, I'll bring it up when I have dinner with Brother Kun tonight."
Feeling the warmth of Qin Yi's palm, a blush unconsciously appeared on Xu Qian's face. She lowered her head and replied in a slightly trembling voice, "Mm, okay, I'll listen to whatever you say."
Watching Xu Qian's shy appearance, Qin Yi felt a surge of emotion in his heart. He was about to lean in to steal a kiss when he was interrupted by the sudden sound of the door being pushed open.
The office door was slammed open from the outside, and Wang Tengfei's voice followed: "Fourth, the car is selec…ted…" He stopped mid-sentence, suddenly seeing the scene before him, and immediately stopped in his tracks, embarrassed, "Um, maybe I should go and pick again?"
Xu Qian quickly smoothed the stray hair behind her ear, stood up, and walked quickly out of the office. Qin Yi frowned, looked at Wang Tengfei with dissatisfaction, and pointed at him in feigned anger, "You fatso, you really know how to pick your timing!"
Wang Tengfei knew he had interrupted Qin Yi's good moment, laughed sheepishly, scratched his head, and said, "Hehe, my bad, my bad, I was just too excited. Don't be angry, Fourth."
Looking at Wang Tengfei's honest and simple appearance, the anger in Qin Yi's heart vanished instantly. He smiled and shook his head, "Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you. What car did you pick?"
"Hehe," Wang Tengfei chuckled, "With my Physique, I definitely have to pick a Land Rover Range Rover to be sufficiently imposing and domineering!"
"Hahaha," Qin Yi laughed out loud, "I guessed as much. When Third comes back, we'll pick one for him too." As he spoke, he handed the document in his hand to Wang Tengfei, "I've already decided on the company names, I'll leave the follow-up matters like registering the companies to you. No problem, right?"
Wang Tengfei took the file, glanced at it, and muttered, "Yiqin Capital, Yiqian Media... Hmm, not bad!" He looked up at Qin Yi with full confidence, "Leave this to me, I'll handle it."
"Good." Qin Yi nodded, "The registered capital for Yiqin Capital will be set at one billion for now, and I will serve as the legal representative and chairman. The shareholders will temporarily include Ye Ziming, Xing Zhenkun, you, and Third. The exact share percentages should be determined by tonight. As for Yiqian Media, it will be controlled by Yiqin Capital, and the registered capital will also be one billion. I will still be the legal representative and chairman, while the shareholders will tentatively be Xu Qian and my cousin, Qin Xiaoyue. Let's set it like this for now and adjust it if there are any changes later."
"No problem!" Wang Tengfei replied readily.
Qin Yi stood up, placed his hand on Wang Tengfei's shoulder, and said, "Let's go, let's go check out your car." The two exchanged a smile and walked out of the office side by side.
When they reached the car, they saw Zhang Bo, Dong Zhixuan, and Xu Qian waiting by the Land Rover.
Seeing Qin Yi arrive, Zhang Bo greeted him with a beaming smile and introduced the car enthusiastically, "Young Master Qin, you're here. This is an imported Land Rover, equipped with a 4.4T V8 engine, 615 horsepower, and it only takes 4.6 seconds to accelerate from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour..."
Qin Yi nodded slightly, his gaze lingering on the car body with a look of satisfaction. He walked slowly around the car once and then nodded, "Hmm, it's indeed quite good. The exterior of this car is imposing enough, which fits Fatty's temperament." As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Bo, "Since we've chosen this one, please go ahead and process the order, Old Zhang. Also, if there are any better license plates available, please arrange one as well; money is no object."
The smile on Zhang Bo's face became even brighter, "Don't worry, Young Master Qin, leave it all to me." After saying this, he signaled to Dong Zhixuan, and the two left to handle the paperwork.
Watching Dong Zhixuan's departing back, Qin Yi frowned. He turned to Wang Tengfei and said in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you not to get too close to that woman? Why did you still let her take you to look at cars?"
Wang Tengfei laughed awkwardly, stole a glance at Xu Qian, and rubbed his nose, "I couldn't help it, it was all arranged by Manager Zhang. Besides, I was just picking out a car, I didn't think that much. It doesn't matter who the salesperson is..."
Xu Qian stood to the side, unable to help but cover her mouth to hide a giggle. She gently tugged on Qin Yi's sleeve, "Young Master Qin, please don't blame Brother Wang. Sister Zhixuan has really changed a lot in the last two days, and she's been quite polite to me. Why not give her a chance? After all, the boss also wants to make money, and since Sister Zhixuan is the top salesperson, Manager Zhang naturally has to keep her in mind for big orders."
Qin Yi looked into Xu Qian's clear eyes and sighed helplessly, "Sigh, alright. Since even you say so, I'll give her another chance. Anyway, you won't be staying at this dealership for much longer either." As he spoke, he looked at Wang Tengfei, "You should also be careful and keep your distance; don't lose control of yourself just because she's pretty!"
Wang Tengfei nodded quickly in agreement. At this moment, Qin Yi seemed to remember something and looked at Xu Qian, "By the way, Brother Kun is treating us tonight. Do you want to come with me?"
"Me?" Xu Qian was slightly stunned, then shook her head, "I'd better not. When I left this morning, Auntie said she wanted me to come back for dinner tonight. She's going to explore the markets in Shanghai today and wants to cook herself. I'll go back after work to give her a hand."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yi raised an eyebrow, thinking that he still had a cooking skill he hadn't used yet and should try it out sometime; it might even improve his parents' Physique. Thinking this, Qin Yi nodded, "I see, that's fine. We'll leave together after the paperwork is done. I was just about to take Fatty back to the residential complex anyway."
Xu Qian hesitated, "Would it be bad to leave early every day?"
"It's fine, listen to me. Go and tidy up now," Qin Yi said gently.
Xu Qian nodded, "Alright then, I'll go change out of my uniform." After saying this, she turned and headed toward the locker room.
After Xu Qian left, there was no one else around. Wang Tengfei was full of excitement. He couldn't wait to take out his phone and snapped several photos of the black Land Rover in front of him, 'click, click.' Then, he opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat with a thud, and with an even brighter smile on his face, he went on a photo-taking spree.
Qin Yi stood to the side with his hands in his pockets, a slight smirk on his lips. Watching Wang Tengfei, he couldn't help but tease, "Fatty, are you planning to post this on your WeChat Moments?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Tengfei looked up at Qin Yi, grinned, and said proudly, "Of course! With such a badass car, I definitely have to show it off! I'm not just posting it to my Moments; I'm going to show it off in our university class WeChat group too! I need those guys to know what an amazing brother I have! Let them be envious!" As he spoke, his hands didn't stop, and he expertly operated his phone.
Before long, Qin Yi's phone sounded with a WeChat notification. He lit up the screen and saw that in the university class WeChat group, Wang Tengfei had already posted several photos of himself with the Land Rover.
Immediately, the classmates in the group began to respond one after another.
"Damn, Wang Tengfei, have you lost your mind? Why aren't you working properly? Did you switch to selling cars?"
"Holy crap, a Land Rover! Brother Fei, did you buy this car? So luxurious!"
"???" Third, Xin Mingyuan, also sent three question marks, clearly curious about his boss Wang Tengfei's behavior.
Wang Tengfei sat in the driver's seat, looking at the responses in the group, his mouth stretching from ear to ear. He smiled triumphantly and typed his reply, "Hehe, listen up, I have a big announcement to make. I'm no longer working at that foreign company. From now on, I am a founding employee of Yiqin Capital Investment Co., Ltd. This car is the company vehicle provided by my boss! How about that? Envious, right?"
"Holy sh*t... Wang Tengfei, you're awesome! Why haven't I encountered such a good opportunity?"
"Wait, Yiqin Capital? Brother Fei, is this company run by Qin Yi?"
"Holy crap, I didn't even notice until you mentioned it. Yiqin, Qin Yi, it must be him. Looks like this guy is making a comeback!"
"Hehe, exactly! It was opened by our dorm's Fourth, Qin Yi! How about that? Envious, right? Do you want to come join us and start a business?" Wang Tengfei replied triumphantly, while leaning his head out of the car window to look at Qin Yi, "Fourth, look at how many people are in our group. Why don't you post a job opening? The new company needs to hire people anyway; hiring a few people we know and trust will make management easier, what do you think?"
Qin Yi nodded slightly and smiled, "Sure, go ahead and post it. We're all classmates, and for anyone willing to come, the salary and benefits will definitely be better than the industry average."
"Hehe, alright!" Wang Tengfei gave an OK sign, then immediately posted a job opening in the WeChat group, "New company is opening! We are now hiring a large number of professionals in finance-related fields! Limited positions, generous salary, first come, first served! Location: 13th Floor, Shanghai Hongtian Bund Center T3 Office Building! Everyone, come send in your resumes!"
Shortly after the message was sent, Third, Xin Mingyuan, tagged Wang Tengfei and Qin Yi in the group and said, "Damn it, I've only been on a business trip for two days, and you guys have already made such a big move? Wait for me, when I get back, you guys better save a good position for me!"
Wang Tengfei grinned and replied, "Third, why are you still on that business trip? Can you earn enough for a Land Rover from your business trip allowance? Come on, hurry back! Fourth said that if you come over, you'll get the same treatment as me, and you can choose any company car you want. By the way, Fourth is also going to upgrade the apartment we're renting soon. If you don't come back now and Fourth changes his mind, don't blame me for not telling you in advance!"
"Damn it, I'm quitting right now! I'll head back tonight!!!" Xin Mingyuan was clearly moved by Wang Tengfei's words and made his decision without hesitation.
Qin Yi looked at the chat history in the group and shook his head with a helpless smile, "Fatty, what are you doing? Look at you, you've made Third lose his job..."
"Pfft, he didn't want that job anyway. He'll be thanking me later!" Wang Tengfei shrugged dismissively and smiled triumphantly.
