23: Chapter 23 The Girl Next Door Has a Big Imagination

After waiting for about five or six minutes, Xu Qian reappeared in front of Qin Yi, dressed like the girl next door.

She wore a tight black camisole under a green plaid shirt, with a black Gucci bag featuring a silver metal chain slung across her shoulder.

The silver chain of the bag happened to sink into her full chest, creating a sharp contrast with the tight black camisole and further accentuating her beautiful figure.

The green plaid shirt was just long enough to reach the base of her thighs, covering her buttocks and providing a good slimming effect.

Moving down, she wore a pair of loose blue denim shorts that reached about mid-thigh.

However, her original flesh-colored stockings were gone, leaving her long, beautiful legs exposed, perfectly fair.

Qin Yi's gaze continued downward to the pink Converse canvas shoes on her feet, exuding a youthful vibe.

Being scrutinized so closely by Qin Yi, Xu Qian suddenly felt a bit at a loss. Not knowing where to put her hands, she nervously began to fiddle with her hair.

Xu Qian's previous performance hadn't been great. Although she sold luxury cars, she didn't earn much. Plus, the cost of living in Magic City was high and rent was expensive, so she didn't own many designer clothes. The only expensive item she had was the Gucci bag she was carrying.

But even that was something she had saved up for a long time, costing nearly twenty thousand yuan.

After all, in the luxury car sales industry, there are naturally many women, and where there are many women, there's more vanity and competition.

Xu Qian wasn't too worried about clothes; she had a great figure and was tall, a natural clothes horse. Even cheap clothes looked good on her.

But bags were different. Her female colleagues were all very shrewd; if she carried a high-end knockoff, they would see through it instantly.

At that point, she would inevitably be subjected to cold mockery and ridicule.

So, with bags, you either don't care about brands and buy ordinary styles, which others can't say much about.

But if you buy a replica or high-end imitation of a big brand, you have to be prepared to be dissed at any time by the 'exquisite' green teas around you.

Xu Qian looked at Qin Yi and thought: Although Mr. Qin is wearing out-of-season designer clothes, they are still designer brands.

Besides, this man before her was a big shot who spent 3.7 billion on cars. God knows how rich he actually is...

Before, when she was in her dealership uniform, she didn't feel much. Now, in her own clothes, standing before Mr. Qin made her feel somewhat awkward.

So, after hesitating for a while, Xu Qian asked awkwardly, "Mr... Mr. Qin, is my outfit inappropriate?"

Hearing her say this, Qin Yi realized that his gaze just now had indeed been a bit too unscrupulous.

Qin Yi quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at Xu Qian with an awkward smile. "Uh, nothing's inappropriate, it's quite good. I just feel that you're very different from before..."

As he spoke, Qin Yi noticed that not only had her outfit changed, but even her hairstyle was different...

Her original Pear Blossom Perm had turned into shoulder-length short hair. If Qin Yi hadn't known Xu Qian's age, at first glance, he would have thought she was a recent college graduate.

"Uh, how did your hairstyle change too?" Qin Yi asked curiously.

Xu Qian reached out to touch her hair and gave an awkward smile, immediately explaining, "This? I was wearing a wig before. My current hairstyle isn't very suitable for wearing the dealership uniform at work. Getting my hair done professionally is expensive and hard to maintain, so I bought a wig to wear. The effect is the same anyway..."

Qin Yi nodded and said casually, "I couldn't tell. You're quite good at saving money."

Xu Qian smiled awkwardly and mocked herself, "I have no choice. I don't earn much, so I have to save..."

Qin Yi didn't know that Xu Qian's performance had always been at the bottom of the dealership. He just intuitively felt that luxury car salespeople shouldn't be short on money.

So, out of curiosity, Qin Yi pressed further, "Don't earn much? That shouldn't be right. Even your cheapest car costs six or seven hundred thousand, right? Your boss even praised your excellent business professionalism..."

Xu Qian sighed, appearing somewhat helpless. "Sigh, what's the use of excellent business professionalism? How many people buying luxury cars care about performance parameters..."

Hearing the hidden meaning in Xu Qian's words and remembering her intimacy level of only 1 with the opposite sex, Qin Yi silently shook his head and said no more.

True, most people buying luxury cars are not short on money. A beauty with an outstanding figure and looks like Xu Qian would naturally be a target for those wealthy hunters.

As long as she opened her mind, she wouldn't lack people willing to spend money on her.

Like that sales champion Dong Zhixuan, who was known as a Hundred-man Slayer, she was probably open-minded. Maybe she 'slayed' one person for every car sold...

While talking, the two had already arrived in front of the Bugatti.

It wasn't until he saw the Bugatti with its license plates already attached that Qin Yi finally understood why it was called a custom version...

As everyone knows, it's very difficult to get license plates for Bugatti models in Dragon.

Because Bugatti models use a unified Family language, from the initial design, there was no specific place on the front face to hang a license plate. If you want to put a plate on, you have to drill holes in the car body, which would damage the carbon fiber body and significantly affect the resale value.

However, if the license plate isn't in the center, it not only makes people with OCD feel extremely uncomfortable, but the whole car also doesn't look as cool as it originally did.

This car was different. The Mo A 12345 license plate was hanging just below the front grille, without obstructing it at all.

Qin Yi looked at Xu Qian with a puzzled expression, pointed at the license plate, and asked, "Does the position of this license plate happen to be the meaning of the custom version?"

Speaking of cars, Xu Qian wasn't as nervous anymore.

She looked at Qin Yi, nodded, and then explained the car's origin.

"Yes, Mr. Qin. I heard from the boss before that this car was originally custom-ordered through special channels from Bugatti by a mysterious tycoon in our Dragon. However, once the car was produced and shipped to customs, the mysterious tycoon suddenly went silent, and no one could contact him. Later, Bugatti contacted the general agent here in Dragon to handle the car. When the boss heard the news, he asked someone to buy it."

"Really? That sounds quite unreliable." Qin Yi was half-skeptical of Xu Qian's words.

Xu Qian shook her head and continued, "I don't know if it's true or false; it's all what the boss said. However, I think the boss should have that kind of capability..."

"I didn't expect you to trust your boss so much."

Xu Qian smiled. "Of course. He's my boss; he pays my salary and commissions. Naturally, whatever the boss says is what it is..."

"Haha, alright. Then did your boss say what happened to that mysterious tycoon later?"

Xu Qian shook her head. "I don't know. But I guess he was probably arrested..."

"Why arrested instead of dead or missing?"

Xu Qian frowned slightly, thinking as she explained, "Think about it, what kind of car is this? A Bugatti! For such a top-tier supercar manufacturer like Bugatti, the design language of the front face hasn't changed for years. How could they change the front design just because of a mysterious tycoon's custom request?"

"Maybe the mysterious tycoon gave them a lot of money?" Qin Yi added.

Xu Qian shook her head and continued with her own logic, "I don't think so! I think it has nothing to do with money."

"Nothing to do with money? Then it must be power?" Qin Yi followed her train of thought.

Xu Qian nodded and said with certainty, "Exactly! It's about power. This mysterious tycoon must be someone of high status and power, someone whose single word might even affect the sales of Bugatti cars in our Dragon market!"

"Uh... so?"

"So, think about it, if such a powerful person died, why would the boss say no one could contact him?"

Qin Yi felt Xu Qian's inference was a bit far-fetched, but he still went along with it. "That does make some sense..."

Seeing that Qin Yi agreed with her idea, Xu Qian's confidence instantly soared, and she continued explaining, "Since he's powerful, he certainly wouldn't lack bodyguards, so it's even more impossible for him to have gone missing! Therefore, the only explanation is that he was arrested!"

"As for the reason for the arrest, I think it must be bribery and corruption... Otherwise, where would a government official get so much money? That's a Bugatti! It's not a BYD..."

Qin Yi blinked his eyes, looking at this girl with a wild imagination, thinking: You make so much sense that I'm actually speechless...

Seeing Qin Yi looking at her with such an expression, Xu Qian asked in confusion, "Did I say something wrong?"

Hearing this, Qin Yi cleared his throat and directly changed the subject. "Let's get back to the car. Talking too much about this kind of thing might get us censored..."

Hearing this, Xu Qian looked embarrassed, realizing she might have said too much. She stuck out her tongue playfully, looking very cute.

Qin Yi paused slightly and continued, "Then can you tell me how much this car would cost if it wasn't a custom version?"

Xu Qian subconsciously looked up at the second floor of the showroom. Qin Yi smiled and added, "Don't worry, I won't tell your boss. I'm just curious."

Xu Qian thought about it for a bit and felt there was nothing she couldn't say. After all, the car had already been sold, and Mr. Qin wouldn't back out over a few tens of millions...

So, Xu Qian lowered her voice and said, "The on-road price for a Bugatti sports car with the same configuration in our Dragon should be around eighty million..."

"80 million? Just for changing the license plate position, you're selling it for 150 million? It's nearly double the price?" Qin Yi was stunned; this markup was almost a hundred percent...

"No, no, Mr. Qin, you misunderstand."

Worried that Qin Yi would lose trust in the dealership, Xu Qian hurriedly explained, "Actually, it's not just the license plate position; the interior, engine, and gearbox have all been adjusted. Also, our boss got the car from the Bugatti general agent, and I heard it was through an auction. After all, as you know, rarity increases value. This is the only car like this in the world, so it was very much in demand. The boss also added quite a bit of money to win the auction."

"Is that so?" Qin Yi asked, looking at Xu Qian with suspicion.

Xu Qian nodded with a sincere look in her eyes.

But the expression on her face clearly said: if you don't believe me, I'll cry right now...

"Well, alright, I believe you."

Qin Yi didn't want to make things difficult for Xu Qian. He just wanted to know the bottom price of the car, not to do anything about it.

After all, buying this car was equivalent to not spending any money for him. Not only did he not spend money, but he also made more than double. Naturally, the more expensive, the better.

In business, the merchant clearly marks the price, and the buyer chooses whether to buy it. There's no need to feel you overpaid after the purchase and go argue with the merchant.

Besides, since it's the only one in the world, it's only natural for the price to be higher.

Thinking this, Qin Yi walked around the car once more and nodded in satisfaction.

The pure black body, streamlined appearance, avant-garde and bold curves, aerodynamic black rear wing, and the six exhaust pipes lined up at the back—all of these revealed the car's mystery, extraordinariness, and innate sense of extreme violence...

Qin Yi couldn't help but wonder who the mysterious tycoon who ordered this car was.

Maybe he should ask Brother Kun the next time he saw him?

Then, Qin Yi and Xu Qian got into the car together.

This Bugatti's doors used a scissor-door design. When the door opened, it lifted up like a guillotine, and when it closed, it had the satisfaction of a clean cut.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Qin Yi adjusted the seat. He had to admit that the Bugatti's seats were quite ergonomic. Even with Qin Yi's height of nearly 1.85 meters, he didn't feel cramped at all.

Then, Qin Yi buckled his seatbelt, gripped the steering wheel, and scanned the car's interior.

The interior featured a black and red color scheme. Everywhere his hands could touch was covered in soft leather. Stroking it felt like touching the smooth, delicate skin of the opposite sex.

Qin Yi couldn't help but sigh. No wonder this car sold for 150 million; this texture, this style, and this perfect color combination were simply better than his previous bmw m4!

At this moment, Xu Qian, in the passenger seat, saw that Qin Yi hadn't started the car for a long time and thought he hadn't driven one before and didn't know how to start it.

So, Xu Qian cautiously asked, "Mr. Qin, how about I first explain to you how to drive this car?"

Qin Yi didn't think much of it, waved his hand, and said calmly, "No need, I'm familiar with this car!"

Was she joking? He was a man with God-level Driving Skill. What car couldn't he drive?

Although Qin Yi had indeed never driven a Bugatti before.

But just now, as soon as he gripped the steering wheel, all the information about this car automatically surfaced in his mind.

This Bugatti Veyron was equipped with an 8.0T quad-turbocharged W16 engine, with a maximum power of 1600 horsepower and a maximum torque of 1600 Nm. The transmission was matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It accelerated from zero to one hundred in less than two seconds, and its top speed could reach 420 km/h, faster than a high-speed train.

Realizing this, Qin Yi felt that his familiarity with this car was no less than that of the bmw m4 he had driven for over three years.

Qin Yi couldn't wait to feel the surging power of this car and his own God-level Driving Skill.

So, Qin Yi skillfully inserted the key into the ignition, stepped on the brake, and started it!

"Vroom!"

The heart-shaking roar of the Bugatti's engine resounded throughout the dealership.

Immediately after, Qin Yi's hands and feet switched quickly—shifting gears and stepping on the accelerator. The car roared as if it were about to tear through the air, rushing toward the back door of Wanhao Car Dealership.

Xu Qian in the passenger seat turned pale with fright and almost screamed. Fortunately, she managed to cover her mouth in time.

On the second floor of the Wanhao Car Dealership showroom, Xing Zhenkun heard the engine start and immediately walked out of his office, his phone still at his ear as if he were talking to someone.

Looking at the Bugatti as it drove out of the dealership, a smile played on the corners of Xing Zhenkun's mouth as he muttered to himself, "This young man is quite interesting."
