209 What About Us? (1/2)
An Zixuan's first battle Zuo Yuanhang had started with a loss, so his bad mood could be understood. However, what he did not know was that when the assistant and the rest saw An Zixuan manage to leave Zuo Yuanhang's office with all of his limbs intact and with the same gloom around his body like he had not been affected by the meeting with the boss, the entire Si Hai Organization almost readied to pray to this Mr. An as a God. This was the first time they had seen someone retreat unscathed after a meeting with Zuo Yuanhang.
An Zixuan's mood continued until he left the Si Hai Organization's office. After he crawled into the taxi, he pouted and made a call. When the call was connected, his mood turned for the better, but when he heard the voice that came to it, his mood fell to hell again.
”Hello‽” The mellifluous female voice was as sharp as steel in An Zixuan's ears. Not hearing the voice that he was hoping for, An Zixuan did not want to waste time. He hung up without saying anything.
Sister Shuang looked at the phone in her hands and wondered, What did this blasted child want‽
Yao Zhixing was discussing the features of the car with the seller. When he saw Ye Shuang holding the phone with an annoyed expression, he thought something had happened, so he asked, ”Who called?”
”The caller ID was An Zixuan, but he hung up without saying anything.” Ye Shuang was clueless as well. She pushed the phone back into her pocket with a shrug. ”Probably a wrong dial‽”
Yao Zhixing chuckled. ”He's probably looking for Xiao Ye.”
Oh, right! That's possible. Ye Shuang shrugged again and turned her attention back to the new car. ”Well, what do you think, Brother Yao‽ Which car is better?”
”If you're driving it alone, then a normal car should be more than enough, but if Xiao Ye is taken into consideration, then I'd say go for something more streamlined but not so rigid.” Yao Zhixing scratched his chin before snapping his fingers, leading Ye Shuang away. Since Yao Zhixing was a famed character among the driving folk of San Lin City, the salesman did not think he was there for fun, so after they left, he was only feeling disappointed that they did not have a model that he would have been interested in.
”Japanese cars are too flashy, and national cars are too standardized. Considering the ease of modification in the future, I think European cars are better.” Yao Zhixing led Ye Shuang to his car and started the engine and left the place. ”AC-BMW or Barbus-Benz. I'll help you ask around for inner stock. These types of vehicles that are straight out of the factory are not bad, and they can be modified in the future.”
Ye Shuang was silent for half a minute before sighing. ”Brother Yao, you might have misunderstood me. I'm buying an everyday car.”
Not a race car to play with you guys.
Yao Zhixing showed a regret-filled expression. ”Then, you're not planning to play with us anymore?”
Ye Shuang felt like crying. ”I can't afford to. The lowest price for a BMW is 200,000, and an AC-BMW is almost 2,000,000.”
AC and Brabus were modified models produced for racing. They collaborated with racing groups; therefore, the price of these cars was definitely on a different level from a standard car. Ye Shuang suddenly felt like she should have found a non-professional to come help her; the standard of the professional was often so high that people could not understand it.
Yao Zhixing tutted with annoyance. ”Fine, then just pick anything that is around 1,000,000. We can talk about modifications when you have more money in the future. The car body, motor, brakes… all these are necessary.”
In that instant, Ye Shuang felt like not talking to the man. The world of the rich was indeed something that she could not understand.
After a whole afternoon of deliberating, she finally ended up with a BMW. The sole reason was that Yao Zhixing insisted that BMWs drove better than a Benz at high speed. Ye Shuang had no energy to argue with the man anymore. Car-testing, loan credit, car plates… With Yao Zhixing there, the series of processes went smoothly—no one dared to give her trouble. Who in San Lin City did not know that Yao family's young master had the hobby of collecting new cars? Therefore, they had to give him face. On top of that, Yao Zhixing was already familiar with the process because he had done it many times already.
…
After everything was done, Ye Shuang drove the car on the road. They had been busy for the whole morning, so at the very least, she owed Yao Zhixing a meal. They parked their cars after selecting the restaurant. However, before they reached the restaurant, Yao Zhixing's phone rang.
”Fang Mo is going to treat us.” Yao Zhixing ended the call after a brief conversation, then he turned to smile at Ye Shuang. ”The new contract has been signed. Next month the Noah Organization's cold chain will add San Lin City to its list. Fang Mo seems like he's planning to expand the business.”
”Brother Fang wants you to introduce him to more restaurants?” Ye Shuang understood what Yao Zhixing meant by 'expansion' immediately.
