177: Chapter 177 If only he weren't so fickle
"No, Boss, they've been sitting in the car the whole time, and the salesperson was right there. I didn't get a chance," Xiao Zhang hurriedly explained.
Hearing this, President Wang didn't say anything but scanned the lobby before asking doubtfully.
"Where are they? Have they already left?"
"No, Boss, they went to the second floor to eat."
President Wang was stunned for a moment, then joked.
"Eating? Are they here to buy a car or just to score a free meal?"
Hearing this, the driver, Xiao Zhang, said with a bit of hesitation.
"They should be here to buy a car. When I was loitering near them earlier, I think I heard her calling her husband to come and pay."
President Wang was taken aback and said somewhat gloomily.
"Married? Then that makes things a bit difficult."
"Boss, just because she's married doesn't mean it's not more exciting. Besides, there's another Girl," Xiao Zhang said frankly, looking around.
President Wang was a bit surprised and looked the driver up and down.
"You're something else, kid! Where did you learn such twisted logic?"
"I definitely learned it from you, Boss. I've been with you for so long, I had to pick up some skills!" Xiao Zhang said obsequiously.
President Wang thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"The situation is different this time. Since that woman called her husband to pay, it proves her husband has some means; otherwise, they couldn't afford a maserati."
He paused, then stared at Xiao Zhang again.
"Didn't you say you were hanging around them just now? Which model did they pick?"
Xiao Zhang pointed to the right.
"Boss, it's that red GT."
"The GT? That one isn't cheap. It seems her husband is indeed quite wealthy," President Wang muttered to himself.
Seeing his boss like this, Xiao Zhang hurriedly asked cautiously.
"So what do you say, Boss? Are we still going to ask for her contact info?"
President Wang glanced at him.
"Why not? Check the situation later. If that married woman really buys it and her husband is right there, don't bother her. Go keep an eye on the other Girl for me."
At this point, President Wang suddenly patted his driver's shoulder.
"I'll teach you another trick."
Xiao Zhang immediately looked like he was all ears.
Seeing this, President Wang nodded in satisfaction.
"Don't just look at how men compete with each other; women's vanity and competitiveness are actually even stronger."
"Take those two, for example. They might look incredibly close on the surface, but deep down, they might wish the other was doing worse than themselves."
"Boss, you mean since one is buying a car and the other isn't, the other one will be easier to win over?"
"Exactly, that's what I mean."
"But Boss, what if the other woman also has a family and is well-off?" Xiao Zhang asked uncertainly.
"That's for you to find out. Why are you asking me?"
President Wang sighed as he spoke.
"Of course, if it's as you say, then it just means we weren't meant to be. If she's not short on money, what can I do?"
"In that case, Boss, I'll go keep an eye on them now."
"Yeah, go ahead! Keep your eyes peeled and make sure to find out more later."
"Got it, Boss."
Second floor.
"Weiwei, I have to say, this food actually tastes pretty good."
Gu Yuqing picked up a piece of stir-fried pork, put it in her mouth, and said while chewing.
"I didn't lie to you, did I? I said I'd bring you here for a free meal, and here we are."
Gu Yuqing rolled her eyes at her Best Friend and replied crossly.
"That's because you're buying a car. If you weren't, try coming here for a free meal. I wouldn't have the nerve."
"No nerve? That's just you lacking confidence. You need to be more confident, you know!"
"Oh, stop pretending to be a big shot with me. You're only confident because you have money now. Try being confident without it."
Hearing this, Xu Wei blushed slightly; she also felt she had been getting a bit ahead of herself lately.
So she quickly changed the subject.
"Will you make it back to work in time? If not, you should head back after eating. We can't let this interfere with your job."
Gu Yuqing shook her head.
"It's fine. If I'm running late, I'll just ask the General Manager for some time off. I'm quite close with her."
Xu Wei stared at her Best Friend in surprise.
"You're close with your General Manager? How come I didn't know? Is that why you won't accept your Old Classmate?"
"What are you thinking? Our General Manager is a woman." Feeling her Best Friend's strange look, Gu Yuqing quickly explained.
"A woman? I thought..."
"You thought what?" Gu Yuqing interrupted before her Best Friend could finish.
"Thought my company's General Manager was a man and I was having an affair with him."
"Yeah, I really was thinking that just now," Xu Wei admitted frankly.
"You really have a wild imagination. Regardless of whether the GM is a man or a woman, if I were really having an affair, why would I listen to all your nonsense?"
"Who knows? Maybe you're a player and want to two-time," Xu Wei said shockingly.
"Pfft, you think I'm like your man, juggling multiple boats? I'm a proper virtuous young woman," Gu Yuqing said somewhat proudly.
"A virtuous young woman? Why don't I believe that?"
Xu Wei looked at her Best Friend with a skeptical gaze.
"What can I do if you don't believe me? I can't exactly prove it to you. Besides, didn't you look in my drawer?"
As Gu Yuqing spoke, her eyes suddenly dimmed.
"If only Li Luo weren't so fickle."
"He's fickle because he has money and talent. Men go bad when they have money, and isn't it the same for women? If I were rich, I'd want to keep several little white faces too. It's the same logic."
"Besides, if he weren't fickle, would the two of us even have a chance? As long as he's a good person and willing to spend money on us, why care about the rest!"
"That's you; don't drag me into this. I haven't agreed yet," Gu Yuqing said, her face turning slightly red.
"Looking at you now, you won't last much longer. Anyway, let's drop the subject and eat!"
Gu Yuqing wanted to retort, but hearing her Best Friend's words, she could only swallow her response.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
What a sin!
On the other side.
Li Luo had just dropped off a passenger at their destination, then clicked on the location sent by the Girl and drove toward the Maserati 4S dealership.
Just as he put his phone down, he heard it vibrate.
Buzz! Buzz!
Thinking it was the Girl rushing him, he picked it up to take a look.
「Song Keyi: Good afternoon, Young Master Li. Siqi and I are working today, so we won't be at the gym this afternoon.」
Li Luo smiled at this and replied casually.
「Young Master Li: No problem, I might be busy this afternoon too. That's all, I'm driving.」
