Inside the luxury VIP lounge of the Bentley dealership, Lin Chu sat calmly as attendants served high-end tea and pastries.
"This is the configuration list you just selected. Please have a look to confirm."
The female sales representative handed him the tablet with both hands. At the same time, the huge screen in the luxury VIP lounge displayed a real-time 3D rendering of the top-of-the-line Bentley Continental GT in Glacier White.
From the very beginning, Tang Manrou had been sitting beside Lin Chu, watching him select options with a look of utter astonishment. At first, she had thought about offering her input as a reference, but...
As it turned out, true to his word, whether it was the exterior, the interior, the tech features, or the performance, he had maxed everything out with his eyes closed! This was the absolute ceiling of the Bentley model lineup.
The purchase tax on a car like this alone could probably buy two of the Xiaomi SU7s she currently drove. He was a bona fide RMB whale. She was truly having her eyes opened today.
"Alright, that looks good."
"Very well, sir. This is the purchase contract for the top-tier Bentley Continental GT you've ordered. The total comes to 4.88 million. If everything is correct, please sign here."
The sales representative's hands trembled slightly as she handed over the contract. This was by far the biggest sale she had ever closed since becoming a salesperson, and it was also the vehicle with the highest configuration options among all models.
Meanwhile, the viewer count in the Bentley dealership's livestream had already surpassed 3,000, with curious onlookers continuously flooding into the room.
[19 Tang Bohu]: "Damn! 4.88 million? Did I hear that right? He's actually buying it?"
[AAA Building Materials Brother Liu]: "Could that possibly be fake? What on earth is the background of this [Chuchu Bufan]? Which young master from Hangzhou is he?"
[Tokyo is a Bit Cold]: "Qin [Arrogant Eastern Young Master], Qin [Elegance and Vulgarity Alike], I told you guys he had real power. Damn it, and you still wouldn't believe it!"
[Arrogant Eastern Young Master]: "Are you starting to play the loyal guard dog here? Besides, he hasn't even paid yet! What are you getting so excited about? You're acting like you're the one buying it!"
The next second—
Swish, swish, swish.
"Let's settle the payment. According to regulations, the car must be delivered within three days, or you'll be paying a penalty for breach of contract!"
After signing the contract with a flourish, Lin Chu held the bank card between two fingers and extended it toward the sales representative.
"Understood... Mr. Lin! We will honor our promise! The car will arrive within three days!"
The sales representative took the bank card with both hands. At that exact moment, Lin Chu activated the [Luxury Car 10% Off Card]!
Ding!
Payment successful.
He had secured the top-tier luxury car with a total price of 4.88 million for a mere 488,000. That feeling was simply indescribable!
Instantly, the staff inside the luxury VIP lounge cast looks of envy and admiration in his direction.
"Congratulations to Mr. Lin for becoming a distinguished Bentley owner!"
"Bentley will be at your service to provide you with the finest experience at any time!"
With a synchronized rustle, all the staff members lined up side by side and bowed at a 90-degree angle.
Sitting beside Lin Chu, Tang Manrou couldn't help gazing with admiration at his calm, handsome profile. Absolute financial strength, learning talent that far exceeded ordinary people, and a gentleman's generosity and gentleness. He was simply perfection itself... He matched her ideal criteria for a quality man to the letter.
At that thought, her heartbeat involuntarily quickened a bit.
"[Favorability] +10!"
Meanwhile, in the livestream, the moment Lin Chu completed the payment, those who had previously mocked him were soundly and repeatedly slapped in the face.
More ridiculously, the barrage of comments instantly flipped, presenting a completely one-sided trend! Even many of the people who had doubted Lin Chu just yesterday tuned their tune to become his sycophants.
[19 Tang Bohu]: "This posture is too badass! Is this what the daily life of the wealthy looks like?"
[Sweetie]: "So handsome! Does anyone have this male god's Douyin handle? I want to follow him! I want to bear his children!"
[Ace Pilot]: "Holy shit, Brother Chu is awesome! Who was the one daring to doubt my Brother Chu yesterday? Does your face hurt from the slap?"
[I am Belial]: "Since this big shot has so much real power, I can already automatically picture what that sexy femme fatale looked like! She must be a super beauty!"
[Tokyo Isn't Very Cold]: "Qin [Arrogant Eastern Young Master], Qin [Elegance and Vulgarity Alike]... they were the ones barking the loudest. Well, do your faces hurt now? (Covering mouth and laughing)"
[Arrogant Eastern Young Master]: "Ahem, to tell you the truth, I've actually been a fan of Brother Chu all along! I was just playing the role of a hater to stir things up!"
[Arrogant Eastern Young Master]: "Son of a bitch! I'm guarding this livestream from now on, let's see who dares to speak ill of Brother Chu!"
[Elegance and Vulgarity Alike] has left the livestream.
[Nameless Person] has left the livestream...
Ironically, once a person demonstrates absolute strength, those who once looked down on you will even be eager to get down on their knees and lick your boots. Because society is a bitch that only spreads its legs for the wealthy!
"Hiss—puff—"
Lin Chu slowly lit a cigarette, stood up, and shook hands with the female sales representative nearby.
"Contact me when the car arrives."
"Rest assured, Mr. Lin. We will contact you the moment the car arrives!"
Lin Chu gave Tang Manrou a look, and the two of them walked toward the entrance. Meanwhile, the surrounding staff members respectfully escorted them all the way until the sales representative and Lin Chu stepped out of the luxury VIP lounge. Only then did the other staff dare to trickle back out into the room.
Watching the retreating figures of the two, they couldn't help sighing. The age demographic buying luxury cars at the dealership these days was truly getting younger and younger. To master wealth that ordinary people could not attain across several generations at such a young age—what kind of posture in past lives must one have struck to live out a life like this?
Just as they stepped out of the Bentley dealership:
"Mr. Lin, congratulations on purchasing your dream car!"
Having witnessed the entire car-buying process, Tang Manrou once again couldn't help wearing an expression of admiration.
"Indeed. This is a car I've dreamed of day and night," Lin Chu said, pausing with a wry smile.
"Mr. Lin is joking. When you pick up the car, you simply must take me out for a spin."
Tang Manrou paused, genuinely wondering if he was just humble-bragging. From looking at the cars to actually buying one, the whole process had taken less than an hour. With his kind of financial strength, a Bentley was probably nothing more than a big toy to him?
"No problem."
"Where is Mr. Lin heading next? Shall I give you another lift?" Tang Manrou pressed her car key fob and turned around with a smile.
That smile was full of charm and possessed a unique allure.
"I have a dinner engagement tonight. Does Coach Tang have any recommendations? Price is no object."
Lin Chu had sent Yin Xintong a message earlier, but she hadn't replied, probably because she was busy. He didn't mind and decided to make the arrangements himself anyway. Besides, he just wanted to treat her to a meal to return a favor and draw a period to his working-class career.
"Mr. Lin is asking the right person. I've checked in at most of the Michelin and Black Pearl restaurants in Hangzhou."
"If you insist on a recommendation, let's go to Yinlu. Whether it's the service or the food, it's the best I've ever had!" Tang Manrou bit her lower lip, thought for a moment, and replied.
