After the tennis lesson, Lin Chu discovered that his Health Value had increased by 2 points, reaching 62.
Gaining 2 points from a single lesson felt like a very solid result! After all, health isn't something built overnight.
Lin Chu left the club because he had other plans for the afternoon. He intended to hail a ride to the Bentley 4S dealership in the Shangcheng District to check out some cars. Perhaps because the Master Tennis Club was located in a natural scenic area, there weren't many cars nearby taking orders. Even after he increased his tip by over a hundred and upgraded to the highest-tier luxury private car, the earliest it would arrive was in half an hour. Times like this really highlighted the convenience of owning your own car.
Just then, two honks sounded from behind him.
"Mr. Lin, are you waiting for your driver?"
A red Xiaomi SU7 stopped right in front of him, and Tang Manrou rolled down the window to speak.
Unlike her sporty look from earlier, she had now changed into a sports crop top paired with pink yoga pants. The gray seatbelt cut a deep cleavage across her chest, prompting an involuntary sigh of admiration. She was simply too luscious!
"A driver? A ride-hailing driver counts, I suppose," Lin Chu replied with a smile, shaking his phone.
"Huh?" Tang Manrou froze for a moment. Are you kidding me? The wealthy, handsome guy who just dropped 300k on lessons was taking a rideshare? But she quickly recovered and said, "It's really not easy to get a cab around here. If you don't mind, can I give you a lift?"
"I won't refuse such a kind offer." Lin Chu didn't stand on ceremony and climbed straight into the front passenger seat.
The interior of the car was very clean, carrying a faint, pleasant fragrance. To be honest, this was Lin Chu's first time riding in a woman's car. He had to admit that the Xiaomi SU7 was quite impressive in both its interior and exterior. Before he activated the system, he had indeed considered an SU7 as his future goal.
Just as he was thinking this, the limitations of domestic cars became slightly apparent.
"Can't this seatbelt be adjusted?" At 183 centimeters tall, Lin Chu found it a bit cramped in the passenger seat.
"Let me help you. It's probably because my best friend sat here before, so..."
With that, Tang Manrou unbuckled her seatbelt, turned sideways, and leaned over to the passenger side to adjust the height of the seatbelt for Lin Chu.
*Hiss~*
The inadvertent intimate contact made Lin Chu's feelings a bit complicated.
"All right, how's that?"
"Ahem, thanks. It's definitely not cutting into me anymore."
Must be said, those headlights were truly round and big! Of course, Lin Chu was referring to the headlights of the Xiaomi SU7.
Tang Manrou didn't mind at all and asked him with a smile, "By the way, where was Mr. Lin heading again?"
"Just drive to this address."
"No. 666, Xinye Road, Shangcheng District...?"
Looking at the address Lin Chu gave her, Tang Manrou froze for a second. This place sounded so familiar.
"If I remember correctly, isn't there a Bentley 4S dealership there!? Is Mr. Lin going to look at cars?" Tang Manrou couldn't hide her astonishment and asked with irrepressible curiosity.
"Yeah, just going to take a look around."
"Then... do you have any specific models in mind?"
"The Bentley Continental GT."
"Mr. Lin really does have great taste. As a matter of life, that happens to be my dream car, too."
Upon hearing the words "Bentley Continental GT," Tang Manrou's eyes lit up, and her mood surged with excitement. She had figured Lin Chu might be quite wealthy, but she never expected him to be *this* rich! With that thought, her gaze toward Lin Chu filled with a bit more reverence and envy.
"Is that so?"
"Yeah, especially the Glacier White color of the Continental GT combined with the soft-top convertible design... it just looks so grand... and also..."
"Anyway, I think a man driving a car like that is just exceptionally handsome..."
"Impressive. I didn't expect Coach Tang to know so much about it."
Lin Chu was genuinely surprised by Tang Manrou's explanation. She actually knew more than he did, occasionally tossing out professional terminology, which showed her horizons were certainly broad. Then again, he figured that a girl who grew up in a family that could afford tennis lessons since childhood naturally had a broader perspective than gold-diggers who only knew brands like Mercedes, BMW, and Audi.
"Mr. Lin flatters me. If you don't mind, can I help you weigh your options later?" Hearing Lin Chu's praise, Tang Manrou's pretty face blushed slightly, and she quickly added.
"Sure, having Coach Tang there will make things much more convenient."
Lin Chu had no reason to refuse. Having such a beautiful coach accompany him to look at and buy a car was quite a wonderful perk.
...
Lin Chu and Tang Manrou arrived at the Bentley 4S dealership.
Stepping out of the car, Lin Chu gazed at the Bentley showroom. In the past, he had only ever walked past and peeked inside, full of envy for the people browsing and buying cars. Now, he was actually able to set foot in this place himself.
Young, successful, and driving a Bentley.
"Welcome to Bentley Shangcheng. Do you two have an appointment?"
The receptionist greeted them with a smile, which grew even warmer when she noticed the sexy, mature beauty by Lin Chu's side, making him look all the more loaded.
"I made an appointment on Douyin last night."
"Alright, could you please provide your Douyin ID?"
"Chuchu Bufan."
"Understood. Right this way, please~"
After looking up the information, the receptionist led them into the showroom.
Meanwhile, inside the showroom, the Bentley 4S live stream was underway as usual. The viewer count was about the same as yesterday's, consisting of the same crowd of onlookers who loved the commotion and occasionally teased the beautiful female streamer.
"This 2024 Bentley Bentayga features..."
The female streamer maintained her smile, but inwardly she was endlessly complaining. Every day it was just a bunch of idle big-talkers who loved to run their mouths; she had never once encountered a buyer with actual purchasing power. Working stiffs had more grievances than ghosts. But she had no choice—it was orders from above, and she had to stream.
Just then, her colleague walked over to her side.
"Sister Cai, the client who made an appointment on Douyin yesterday is here to see the cars."
"Huh? Did someone make an appointment yesterday? Why don't I remember?"
The female streamer paused, wondering why she had no recollection of it. There was no way around it; every day the live stream was flooded with loudmouths claiming they were coming to buy or look at cars. How could she possibly remember every single one of them?
"His user ID is [Chuchu Bufan]."
"Chuchu Bufan?"
The female streamer racked her brain. She had a vague recollection, but not much.
Right at that moment, quite a few enthusiastic viewers in the live chat popped up.
[Rainy Night Without a Knife]: "Isn't that the pretentious guy who got flamed to death by chat for asking about the price?"
[Enthusiastic Horse]: "Turns out it's that Bentley Continental bro from yesterday! Acting like he was actually going to buy, and he really came?"
[Ace Pilot]: "Holy moly, seriously? Wasn't he just all talk?"
[Arrogant Eastern Lord]: "Look at you guys, always so impatient. Looking at cars doesn't mean he's actually buying."
Instantly, the viewers in the live stream grew excited and curious.
