79: How expensive can Chapter 79 be?

The second day of the Lunar New Year was the day Zhao Xiaoshuai had scheduled for a showdown with Meng Yawen, but since sharpening the axe doesn't delay the woodcutting, he arranged to meet his good brother Liu Ming early in the morning to pick up his car.

As for his dream car, the very first thing he wanted to do upon getting his hands on it was to share the joy of the moment with his childhood friend, Liu Ming.

Of course, watching his good brother's jaw drop in shock would just be an added bonus.

"Yo, looking at your location, it's really a Mercedes 4S dealership. Don't tell me you're actually going to buy a big Benz?"

"What, jealous that your brother has struck it rich?"

"Oh wow, you're already showing off before we've even arrived. When you get the car, let me drive it first. I hope you aren't just trying to fool me with a C-Class."

"I happen to need a driver. Don't you want to consider it?"

"You've got some nerve asking me to be your driver, kid. But then again, if you really buy a big Benz, I wouldn't mind playing chauffeur for a few days!"

"It's a deal."

Although the service department of the Mercedes 4S dealership wouldn't be open until the sixth day of the New Year, new car sales continued throughout the holiday.

Tao Mengjie was the sales manager on duty today.

In previous years, if she had been called in for duty on the second day of the Lunar New Year, she would definitely have been full of complaints.

But this year was different.

Before the New Year, a client had come in to custom-order a maybach S680. It wasn't in stock at the time, so after an emergency allocation, they had arranged to pick it up on the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year.

This was a luxury car worth nearly four million on the road!

Facing this auspicious start to the New Year, she had arrived at the store early in the morning, full of high spirits.

"Tao Mengjie, here so early during the New Year? Why not sleep in a bit more at home?"

Thinking she would be among the first staff members on duty to arrive, Tao Mengjie had even prepared to clean up.

These tasks were usually done by the younger sales staff, but since she was in a good mood today, she didn't mind.

However, she had just specially checked the parking lot, and her client's maybach hadn't arrived yet, which dampened her mood a little.

Then, upon entering the store, she ran into a colleague she didn't get along with, making Tao Mengjie's mood even worse.

"You aren't on duty today, so why are you running to the store during the New Year?"

"Can't help it, the client is in a rush to pick up the car, so I had to come."

Although the client of Tao Mengjie's colleague was only picking up a Mercedes C-Class, which cost around 300,000,

their sales figures had been neck-and-neck recently. The promotion to the new general manager position, which was supposed to be decided before the New Year, had been pushed back until after the holiday.

For this position, it was only natural for her to work hard.

By now, Zhao Xiaoshuai and Liu Ming had arrived at the 4S dealership. Since the dealership's parking lot was right next door, they decided to get out of the car and take a look in the parking lot first, with the intention of inspecting the goods.

A brand-new Mercedes C260L was parked there. Since there was no snow on the roof, it must have been a new shipment, or it had been cleaned beforehand because a customer had reserved it.

Combining this with what Zhao Xiaoshuai had said earlier, Liu Ming naturally assumed that this was the car Zhao Xiaoshuai was going to pick up.

"You talked such a big game, and it turns out to be a C-Class? Well, this car is pretty good, though."

Zhao Xiaoshuai naturally knew this car wasn't his, but since he had scanned the parking lot and didn't see his dream car, he just played along with Liu Ming, pretending to critique the car.

"Hey, hey, hey, stay away. This car should be mine. Don't go scratching or bumping it; that's bad luck during the New Year."

The two of them, who were just messing around, were suddenly interrupted. They turned back to see a young man with dyed yellow hair.

The yellow-haired guy naturally saw the Corolla parked not far away. Since there were very few people around on the second day of the Lunar New Year, he could conclude that these two were the owners of that car.

That was why he dared to speak so arrogantly; after all, he might not be able to afford to offend some big shot who happened to appear at a Mercedes 4S dealership.

However, people whose ride only cost a little over 100,000 obviously didn't fall into the category of people he couldn't offend.

Hearing the rude tone, Zhao Xiaoshuai was about to start a combo with "What are you looking at?", but was held back by Liu Ming. "It's the New Year, don't lower yourself to his level."

Ever since Zhao Xiaoshuai had beaten up Shen Lang last time, he had gotten a bit cocky. Whenever he met a young man who didn't look like much, he wanted to step up and have a go at him.

There is a saying: "The meaning of working out is to let idiots sit down calmly and listen to your reasoning."

He firmly believed in this now and liked to put it into practice often.

But since his good brother had held him back, he didn't force it, just silently glanced at the guy and decided not to hold a grudge.

The three of them entered the 4S dealership almost at the same time.

"Ms. Li, the one in the parking lot should be my car, right?"

"Mr. Zhang, you've arrived very early. That's right, that is your beloved car. How is it? Are you satisfied with it?"

"It looks good. I'll take it for a spin in a moment. If there are no problems, I'll pay immediately, in full."

The man emphasized the last two words and looked provocatively at the two "poor losers" who had followed him in.

As a Mercedes owner about to pay 300,000 in full, would he ever take two people driving a Corolla worth just over 100,000 seriously?

Furthermore, those two had just been pointing at his car earlier, looking very envious.

Isn't the point of buying a car just to show off?

He decided to show off for these two people as his first act of the New Year.

Seeing the salesperson he had booked, Zhao Xiaoshuai asked with dissatisfaction: "Ms. Tao, I don't seem to have seen my car in the parking lot?"

"Mr. Zhao, I'm terribly sorry. I just called to ask. Because your car is extremely expensive, they are driving quite carefully due to road conditions, which has delayed the time, but it should be here soon."

The yellow-haired guy sneered; it was just standard sales talk, nothing more than an excuse for being late.

Expensive? How expensive could it be?

Beep! Beep!

Suddenly, a few loud honks came from outside the store.

Tao Mengjie was overjoyed. "It must be your car. Please wait a moment in the store; I'll go confirm it for you."

Zhao Xiaoshuai had been looking forward to his dream car for a long time, so naturally, he wasn't willing to wait and followed the saleswoman out.

Liu Ming was also becoming increasingly curious about his childhood friend's beloved car and followed closely behind.

The yellow-haired guy was going to test drive his own car, so he also walked out together with them.

Once outside, the yellow-haired guy also became a little interested in the car the two were going to pick up. He wanted to see if it could compare with his own car.

There is a saying that any car over 200,000 is considered a luxury item.

Although his family paid for half of this 300,000 car, it was still the first car he had bought, and driving it out was definitely a face-saving model.

The back of the large delivery truck slowly opened. Inside the huge cargo hold, only one car was secured.

That car was like an emperor in the night, domineering and noble, instantly attracting everyone's gaze.

A maybach S680 Polar Night Edition.
