Li Yue stood rooted to the spot, her eyes full of disdain, her thoughts drifting back to a year ago.
At that time, her cousin Li Xiaojia happily showed her a photo of Lin Yang; in the photo, Lin Yang had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, so handsome it seemed unreal.
Li Xiaojia’s eyes were full of unconcealed affection, as she chattered about every little detail of her pursuit of Lin Yang.
It took her half a year to finally catch him, but the relationship didn’t last long.
Lin Yang was too poor; he couldn’t even afford a decent gift.
So, she simply chose to break up.
In just half a year, how could a poor person possibly become rich?
The cheapest car in the 4S store cost over a million.
Anyone who could afford a car worth over a million must have assets of at least tens of millions.
Therefore, Li Yue felt that Lin Yang definitely couldn’t afford any car in the store, and there was no need to waste time on someone who couldn’t afford a car.
Initially, when she saw Lin Yang step out of the Yangwang U8, her first reaction was shock; she couldn’t connect the person driving a luxury car in front of her with the penniless pauper she remembered.
But soon, she concluded that Lin Yang must have rented the car, or perhaps he had latched onto some rich woman, and he was just here to put on a show and flaunt himself in front of everyone.
This preconceived notion added to her dislike of Lin Yang.
When Lin Yang specifically asked her to show him the car, she felt even more disdain, even secretly cursing him as a “pervert” in her heart, and reluctantly took on the task.
“Sir, why don’t you let someone else show you the car?”
Li Yue frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes, her tone clearly resistant.
She really didn’t want to waste time on this “pauper” she had identified, calculating that it would be better to attend to other customers with real purchasing power, as she might even close a deal and earn a substantial commission.
“No, just you!”
Lin Yang’s attitude was firm, the corners of his mouth curving slightly into a subtle smile.
He knew that the more unwilling Li Yue was, the more interesting her reaction would be when it came to the “refund one, compensate three” situation.
The reason Lin Yang insisted on choosing Li Yue was simply to pick someone who seemed the most annoying.
After all, when it came to the “refund one, compensate three” situation, the salesperson who sold the car would likely also be held responsible.
Seeing that Lin Yang wouldn’t budge, Li Yue was filled with displeasure, but in this work setting, she couldn’t openly defy him.
She gritted her teeth, secretly complained a few times in her heart, and forced a smile that was uglier than a cry, reluctantly accepting the task.
She thought to herself, ‘Anyway, you can’t afford it, I’ll just go through the motions with you; let’s see how long you can keep up the act.’
So, she walked with a leisurely pace, leading Lin Yang to the display area.
Li Yue led Lin Yang to the vehicle display area.
“Sir, why don’t you take a look at this S180? It’s the cheapest in our store, with an on-the-road price of around 1 million.”
Lin Yang smiled; so, she thought he was poor, which was why she was unwilling to serve him, and even the car she introduced was the cheapest one.
If he were truly here to buy a car, he would have turned around and left long ago.
However, he had a purpose today: “refund one, compensate three.”
“This car’s exterior isn’t good-looking; that one over there is nice.”
Lin Yang pointed to the S580 in the middle of the showroom.
Li Yue pouted and reluctantly led Lin Yang over.
She stood by the car and began her formulaic introduction, her voice flat, without any enthusiasm, as if she were completing an unavoidable task.
“This is the S580, an original imported sedan, a preferred choice for many successful individuals.”
Lin Yang slowly paced around the car, occasionally reaching out to gently touch the body, meticulously examining every detail, appearing very interested in the car.
His gaze fell on the wheels, and he secretly calculated, “Definitely 19-inch wheels.”
Li Yue watched Lin Yang’s actions, couldn’t help but mutter to herself, and a mocking chuckle appeared on her face.
“Pauper, still wanting to buy an S580? It’s nearly 3.5 million on the road. Can you afford it?”
Although she didn’t say this out loud, her sarcastic tone and contemptuous gaze fully revealed her inner thoughts.
Then, she deliberately raised her voice, as if to emphasize something:
“The S580 is an original imported sedan; it’s very expensive, over three million.”
Her tone seemed to be telling Lin Yang that this car was beyond his means, and he shouldn’t waste his time here.
Lin Yang understood the implication of her words, knowing she was mocking him for not being able to afford it.
But he didn’t care; he just smiled slightly, calculating in his mind, “Let’s see if you can still smile when I demand the ‘refund one, compensate three’ later.”
He calmly responded:
“No matter how expensive a car is, if you like it, it’s worth it.”
According to the information he had gathered beforehand, to successfully achieve “refund one, compensate three,” he needed to prepare three key pieces of evidence: the customs declaration, the shipping record, and the in-store inspection record.
With these, he could sue the store for delivering goods that didn’t match the description, thereby obtaining a huge compensation.
Lin Yang knew that every step he took next was crucial; he had to be careful and not show the slightest flaw.
Lin Yang looked up, his gaze directly meeting Li Yue’s, and asked casually:
“I heard that many 4S stores secretly replace parts on imported cars. Your store wouldn’t have done that, would it?”
This question seemed understated but concealed a deeper meaning.
Upon hearing this question, Li Yue’s expression changed slightly, and a surge of anger rose within her; she felt that Lin Yang was deliberately looking for trouble.
She retorted ungraciously:
“We’re not some roadside stall! All the Maybach 4S stores in the province belong to our boss. We have all the customs declarations, shipping records, and in-store inspection records, guaranteeing 100% original import. You don’t need to worry!”
“Alright, then this car it is!”
Lin Yang didn’t hesitate at all.
These words were like a bombshell, stirring up a storm in Li Yue’s heart.
Li Yue’s eyes widened; she couldn’t believe her ears, her face filled with shock and doubt, her mouth slightly agape, she stood frozen for a while before stammering:
“Wh-what? Are you sure you really want this car?”
Her voice unconsciously rose by several decibels, her eyes filled with disbelief. In her opinion, Lin Yang was just a pauper; how could he possibly afford this luxury car worth over three million? She even suspected she had misheard him.
Lin Yang looked at Li Yue’s surprised expression, secretly amused, and nodded affirmatively again, saying:
“Confirmed, I’ll buy this one.”
