Translator: 549690339

At the administrative center of Lu Family Port Automobile City, General Manager Li Yuehua cradled the telephone, respectfully answering a call from the headquarters.

The call was from Chennong’s secretary, informing Li Yuehua that a person named Xu Fan would be coming to purchase a car soon. This individual was a VIP guest of Chairman Chennong, and it was imperative to provide excellent service during the car purchase—additionally, all cars were to be offered at their lowest prices.

In the end, Chennong’s secretary especially instructed Li Yuehua that if Xu Fan didn’t have enough money but happened to fancy a more expensive car model, no matter how much the car Xu Fan liked cost, it should be sold at Xu Fan’s ideal price.

In essence, this esteemed guest must be treated very well, and if the reception was not up to par, there would be no need for him to continue managing the Lu Family Port Automobile City.

Li Yuehua nodded and made several guarantees to Chennong’s secretary, promising to provide the best reception for this VIP guest. He put on a smile for a long time before finally hanging up the phone.

After ending the call from headquarters, Li Yuehua immediately phoned the managers of various dealerships within the Lu Family Port Automobile City, instructing them to be on the lookout for a customer named “Xu Fan.” Should he appear, they were to contact the administrative department immediately, and Li Yuehua would personally attend to him.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan, accompanied by Tongtong, was just about to step into an imported Audi S7 sedan when a shout suddenly interrupted them.

Manager Xiong, who had earlier scolded Chen Lele at the entrance of the Automobile City, emerged from the side, looking at Xu Fan with disdain.

He had just gone to sell an Audi to a wealthy customer but didn’t expect that the customer was interested in buying a Bugatti Veyron. Not only was he turned away, but he was also cursed at by the arrogant client.

Facing such a tough boss, Manager Xiong dared not say a word. After being scolded to his face, he was already seething with anger. Just as he thought of returning for a drink of water, he saw Chen Lele with Xu Fan and Tongtong, wanting to test drive the Audi S7.

This Audi S7 was a newly arrived import, and in all of Zhonghai, there was only this one. Manager Xiong had been hoping that a rich person would take a fancy to it so he could sell it at a high price and earn a substantial commission. Seeing the shabbily dressed Xu Fan wishing to test drive it immediately sparked his ire.

I can’t provoke a big boss, but can’t I provoke a poor nobody? Manager Xiong walked over to Xu Fan with rage and shut the car door that had just been opened.

“Sorry, this Audi S7 is the gem of our store, and without permission, you’re not to touch or get into the car.”

Manager Xiong said bluntly to Xu Fan.

“Oh? I’ve come here to buy a car, and I don’t even have the right to look?” Xu Fan retorted with a cold laugh.

“The seats in this car are all luxury hand-stitched leather. You have a child with you, and if the car gets dirty from kicking, how can we sell it?” Manager Xiong said irritably.

“What if it gets dirty? I’ll just buy it. It’ll be my car, and I can kick it however I want.” Xu Fan initially wanted to lose his temper, but remembering that the Automobile City belonged to Chennong, he suppressed his anger and spoke coldly.

“Ha ha, you should look in the mirror before you speak. Have you not seen the price on this car? 1.3 million, and we don’t accept installments, only cash. Can you afford it?” Manager Xiong looked at Xu Fan, his eyes filled with contempt.

Xu Fan’s attire was very ordinary, hardly resembling that of a wealthy person. Such a car was usually purchased by big bosses; if young people had that kind of money, they would opt for a sports car instead of a business-style vehicle like this one. Therefore, Manager Xiong didn’t believe for a second that Xu Fan could afford this car.

“Chen Lele, do me a favor,” Xu Fan softly said to Chen Lele by his side.

Chen Lele was somewhat embarrassed by the way Manager Xiong had been giving her a hard time, and upon hearing Xu Fan’s request, she nodded vigorously and said, “Alright, just tell me.”

Xu Fan took out the piece of paper with the locker code that he had gotten when he stored two bags of cash in the storage locker and handed it to Chen Lele, saying, “I’ve put two bags in the storage locker in the lobby, could you help me fetch them?”

“Sure,” said Chen Lele upon hearing this, taking the piece of paper with the code and turning to walk away.

Manager Xiong, with a stern face, said to Chen Lele, “Chen Lele, is the company paying you to run errands for others? You’re not allowed to go!”

Upon hearing his words, a flash of determination crossed Chen Lele’s face.

The manager was not only unsympathetic but also often troubled her, and now he was yelling at her in front of everyone. Although Chen Lele was just working part-time, she was not there to be mistreated, and now she had almost decided to give up the part-time job and have a falling out with Manager Xiong.

Chen Lele turned slowly, intending to confront Manager Xiong and tell him she didn’t want to work there anymore. However, Xu Fan gently extended his hand and stopped her behind him.

“Manager Xiong, I asked her to get the money for me because you want me to pay in cash, right? How can I buy the car without the money?” Xu Fan said indifferently to Manager Xiong.

“Haha, don’t joke around, how much can you get? Fifty thousand or a hundred thousand? That’s probably not even enough to buy a tire for this car. You want to show off, that’s fine, but you’ve picked the wrong place,” said Manager Xiong with an exaggerated smile, utterly disbelieving that Xu Fan could produce any money and taking this as nothing more than a stalling tactic by Xu Fan.

“Why not let Chen Lele go and find out?” Xu Fan said calmly.

“You have 5 minutes. If you can’t bring the money, then roll out of here, OK?” Manager Xiong looked at his watch and said spitefully.

“Alright, no problem, but if I can get the money, you’ll be the one rolling out,” Xu Fan stated to Manager Xiong, word by word.

“Haha, alright, 5 minutes starting now. I really want to see how you’re going to pull out more than a million to pay for the car,” Manager Xiong laughed heartily, and then he turned to threaten Chen Lele, “Chen Lele, if you can’t bring the money, I’ll fire you, and don’t even think about getting your pay for the past few days. Are you really going to run errands for this guy?”

“Trust me, go on,” Xu Fan winked at Xu Lele, giving her an affirming look.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Lele gripped the piece of paper with the code and turned towards the lobby.

Manager Xiong watched Chen Lele’s retreating figure with a malicious gaze, already thinking of numerous ways to fire Xu Lele and then find a reason to withhold her pay from the previous days.

“Kid, I got my friend to come over and record a video, we’ll be going live on TikTok soon. I’ve even got a title ready, ‘Loser brags in an Audi dealership, ends up getting publicly humiliated and rolling out’. The click rate is definitely going to be high.”

“Shoot it, you absolutely must shoot it!” Xu Fan said in a low voice, cheering, and asked Manager Xiong, “How many followers do you have on TikTok?”

“Just over a hundred,” Manager Xiong answered, puzzled.

“You’re about to have several hundred thousand,” Xu Fan said with a harmless smile.
