Hu Qian was in her minimalist-style spacious luxury apartment, where the decor exuded understated luxury.
The light gray marble floor gleamed with a soft luster, complementing the snow-white walls, with no excessive or complex decorations, only a few abstract art paintings as embellishments, adding a touch of artistic flair just right.
On the ceiling, simple linear lights emitted a warm yet not harsh glow, making the entire space feel open and bright.
In front of the window, a treadmill stood quietly.
Hu Qian was dressed in tight-fitting sportswear, outlining her alluring figure.
She turned on the treadmill and ran on it for a few steps, her pace urgent and chaotic, and after a short while, she irritably turned off the treadmill, her chest heaving violently, and fine beads of sweat trickled down her forehead and cheek.
She then walked to the kitchen and took out a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator.
She gulped it down, trying to extinguish the inexplicable irritation in her heart.
But after drinking, she still felt restless, her brows tightly furrowed into a “Chuan” character, and she murmured to herself:
“How could this be?”
Ever since she invited Lin Yang for dinner and went shopping with him last time, her heart felt as if it had been disturbed by an invisible hand.
Lin Yang’s figure always appeared in her mind, lingering there.
She tried to concentrate on other things, but her thoughts drifted to Lin Yang again and again.
She picked up her phone, her fingers gently sliding on the screen, preparing to send a message to Lin Yang.
Just as she typed a few words, she suddenly stopped, thinking to herself:
“We’ve only known each other for one day, this is too unreserved.”
After a moment of hesitation, she re-selected a contact and dialed Zhang Jun’s number.
“Junior, the weather is great today, do you want to go camping and barbecue this afternoon?”
Hu Qian tried her best to make her voice sound relaxed and natural, but the hand holding the phone was slightly clenched, her knuckles turning white.
“Sure, but outings are more fun with more people, how about we invite two more people?”
Zhang Jun’s voice came from the receiver, full of the vitality typical of young people.
Hu Qian’s heart swelled with joy; this was exactly what she was waiting for. The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, and her eyes sparkled with anticipation as she quickly said:
“My camping gear is just enough for four people. How about you invite your classmate Lin Yang, and I’ll invite one more person?”
“No problem, I’ll go prepare the ingredients. Just call me when it’s time to leave.”
Zhang Jun readily agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Hu Qian leaned on the sofa, a sweet smile gracing her face.
Lin Yang’s figure appeared in her mind, and thinking of the outing she was about to spend with him, her heart felt as sweet as honey.
She got up and walked to the window, looking at the clear blue sky and the leisurely white clouds outside the window, as if she could already see them laughing and playing in the countryside.
Only then did her agitated mood calm down a bit.
...
Lin Yang was just thinking about what excuse to use to ask Hu Qian out when his phone suddenly rang, with Zhang Jun’s name displayed.
They didn’t have much contact before, but ever since Lin Yang applied for a loan at the bank where Zhang Jun worked last time, their contact increased.
Lin Yang felt that Zhang Jun was a decent person, and he had helped him a lot in finding a stock consultant, so their relationship was much closer than before.
When he heard that he was going camping with Hu Qian and her friends, Lin Yang’s eyes lit up.
Isn't this exactly like someone sending a pillow when one is sleepy!
He happened to need to complete the task of having dinner with Hu Qian to trigger a critical hit and unlock new system functions.
However, he had something to do in the morning, so he told Zhang Jun and the others to go first, and to send him the address when they arrived at the location. Then he hung up the phone.
Before going camping, Lin Yang had one more important thing to do.
That was to go to the 4S store and buy the Maybach S580 that could be refunded three times over.
He had no reason to refuse such money that was practically being given away.
After eating breakfast at the community entrance, he drove directly to the Maybach 4S store in Zhongnan Automobile World using his navigation.
Zhongnan Automobile World, Maybach 4S store.
The salespeople in the store were all busy.
Suddenly, a large, tank-like SUV slowly pulled up at the entrance of the store.
The salespeople were all experts and immediately recognized it as a looking up u8, also knowing its high price.
They knew that people who drove such cars were either rich or noble, truly high-net-worth individuals.
These people were highly receptive to new things, had extremely strong consumption power, and paid great attention to brand technological innovation. Buying a looking up u8 was often driven by the pursuit of a novel experience rather than actual essential needs.
Simply put, for someone who could spend over a million yuan to buy such a car as a toy, buying a Maybach from the store would certainly be no problem.
So, the salespeople’s eyes instantly lit up. They rushed to the door, scrambling to be first, lining up on both sides, bowing in unison, and enthusiastically shouting:
“Welcome to Maybach.”
Lin Yang was stunned. He had just parked the car and hadn't gotten out yet, and these people were already so enthusiastic. Had some important figure arrived?
He calmly stepped out of the looking up u8 and looked around, only to find that it was still early, and there were no other customers inside or outside the store besides him.
Could it be that these people were putting on such a grand display to welcome him?
Soon, the salespeople’s actions confirmed his guess.
These salespeople were indeed putting on such a grand display to welcome him.
One of the tall and attractive female salespeople quickly stepped forward.
She wore a standard eight-tooth smile, her smile warm yet appropriate, her eyes professional and capable, and her voice clear and pleasant:
“Hello, sir! A very warm welcome to our Maybach 4S store. I am Liu Dan, your sales consultant here. How may I assist you?”
As she spoke, she slightly bowed and made a welcoming gesture, her movements elegant and natural.
Another male salesperson, not to be outdone, quickly followed, introducing as he walked:
“Sir, our store currently has multiple Maybach models, each with unique features and excellent performance. Whether for business travel or daily driving, they can provide you with the ultimate experience.”
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Lin Yang, not missing any subtle changes in his expression, trying to capture useful information from his reactions.
Several other salespeople gathered around Lin Yang, carefully maintaining an appropriate distance, neither making Lin Yang feel too crowded nor preventing them from providing service at any time.
They occasionally interjected a few words, introducing the store’s promotional activities and after-sales service, their tone sincere and eager.
Lin Yang knew that they were all trying to impress him, as in their eyes, if he bought a looking up u8 as a toy, buying a Maybach would certainly be effortless.
The commission for selling a Maybach was considerable, so why wouldn't they be enthusiastic?
Lin Yang thought to himself, if these people knew he was here for the
buy one get three
policy, he wondered what they would think.
At this moment, he noticed that all the salespeople were very enthusiastic towards him, hoping he would choose them as his sales consultant.
However, there was one exception: a female salesperson in her thirties.
Ever since she clearly saw his face, her previously smiling face fell, and her eyes were filled with disdain.
Lin Yang smiled, pointed at this female salesperson with his hand:
“You. You take me to see the car.”
Everyone present was stunned. They had been so enthusiastic and flattering, while Li Yue had a sullen face, so why would this gentleman choose her?
