Ji Xiaoli then drove her Rolls - Royce, carrying Zheng Nanfeng, and headed straight for the 4S store.
On the way, Zheng Nanfeng said that the 4S store offered a trade - in service. Even if they didn't trade in, they could still get an appraisal and sell the old car there.
Ji Xiaoli frowned upon hearing this. "Why bother saving money? I can surely afford to buy for you!"
Right now, all she wanted was to spend money on him. All he needed to do was shop!
Zheng Nanfeng probably sensed the generosity of his benefactress. He smiled and nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, yes. Just spend, no need to save!"
Ji Xiaoli gave a cold smile. "Be a good boy. Boss Ji will buy you a whole street."
Screech!
Ji Xiaoli made a sharp turn and stopped in front of the store. But her brows knitted slightly as she spotted a familiar figure inside - Li Songyuan.
With a quick glance, she also noticed the Santana parked outside. She wasn't mistaken; it was definitely Li Songyuan's car.
Li Songyuan's leg hadn't fully recovered yet. Although he no longer needed a wheelchair, he still had to use crutches.
The clerk was the same one who had served Ji Xiaoli last time. He was a kind - hearted man. Seeing Li Songyuan in this state, he invited him into the store to sit down.
However, kindness didn't mean he could be lenient on the price.
"Brother, your Santana must be at least four or five years old, right?"
Li Songyuan took the water the clerk had poured for him, looking a bit embarrassed. "It's not been five years. It'll only be four years after this year."
"That's still a long time," the clerk exclaimed, pointing at the Santana parked outside. "Let me be honest with you. The most your car can sell for is this amount."
Li Songyuan saw the "one" the clerk was gesturing and his face turned even more embarrassed. "I bought this car for 100,000 yuan back then..."
Now it could only be sold for 10,000 yuan. Wasn't this just bullying him?
But the clerk sneered. "It wasn't that expensive either. Don't complain. If you sold it as scrap metal, you might not even get a few hundred yuan."
Li Songyuan's face froze. Although the clerk's words were harsh, he had no way to refute them.
Moreover, he was in urgent need of money right now.
He had been fired by Ji Xiaoli and then sacked by Tomorrow's Star after his reputation was ruined. He was now unemployed and had to pay a 5,000 - yuan mortgage every month. If he didn't sell his car, his life would probably be unsustainable.
And even if he sold his car, his future days would still be tough.
"Hurry up, sir. I'm not joking. If you keep this car for a while longer, it might not even be worth four digits."
The clerk deliberately taunted and yawned as he looked outside. But that glance made his eyes light up, and he was so excited that he could almost fly!
Good heavens! What an adorable angel and a super - rich benefactor he saw!
The generous and wealthy customer who had come to buy a car last time was back!
In an instant, the clerk's mouth was grinning from ear to ear. He rushed forward and asked with a big smile on his face, "Hello, you're here again! What would you like to buy?"
He was probably so happy that he asked such a stupid question that Ji Xiaoli couldn't help but palm her forehead.
Ji Xiaoli: "… Do I come to a 4S store to buy vegetables instead of cars?"
But what was Li Songyuan doing here? Was he here to buy a car too?
Ji Xiaoli's suspicious gaze fell on him.
"This gentleman is here to sell his car!" As soon as Ji Xiaoli's gaze landed, the clerk quickly said obsequiously and pointed at the Santana outside. "Look, that's the one."
The clerk spoke loudly, and Li Songyuan heard every word clearly. His embarrassment grew even more.
"Yo, selling your car?"
Zheng Nanfeng just had to chime in. He squinted at the Santana and sneered. "How much can that car sell for?"
"This gentleman said he bought it for 100,000 yuan back then. But look, it's been four or five years. The paint is peeling off. Do you think my offer of 10,000 yuan is too low? But this gentleman just won't agree!" The clerk couldn't help but complain.
Zheng Nanfeng found it funny and shook his head. "Ten thousand... it is a bit low."
He turned to look at Li Songyuan, whose face was as white as a sheet. "How about this? I'll offer you a higher price. Sell the car to me?"
The three of them were not far apart, and Li Songyuan heard every single word clearly.
He heard them talking about his poverty and even mocking him, but he... could only listen. And even when he heard Zheng Nanfeng say that he was willing to offer a higher price, he shamefully felt tempted!
"You..." Li Songyuan tightened his grip on the cup and looked at Zheng Nanfeng. "How much are you willing to offer?"
"How much...?"
Zheng Nanfeng seemed to think carefully. "How about 10,001 yuan? I'll add one yuan!"
With his dazzling white teeth, he was smiling the purest smile while saying the most vicious words.
Come on, this guy almost snatched his Ji Xiaoli away at first, and then caused him to be hospitalized twice. Now that he was in trouble, how could Zheng Nanfeng not mock him?
Looking at his gloomy face, which was full of humiliation after his dignity was trampled on, Zheng Nanfeng felt even better. "Think it's too little? How about I add one more yuan? 10,002 yuan? 10,003 yuan?"
"Still think it's too little?" Zheng Nanfeng clicked his tongue. "Comrade, let me tell you, don't be too greedy! It's already good enough that someone wants your broken car."
Li Songyuan didn't say a word, but Ji Xiaoli got impatient. She glared at Zheng Nanfeng and interrupted him. "It's already good enough that someone wants your good - for - nothing self!"
"Zheng Nanfeng, I hope you have the awareness of being a kept man. Now I'm covering all your expenses. Don't make your own decisions, okay? I'm here to buy a car for you, not for you to buy someone else's second - hand car!"
Ji Xiaoli frowned and seriously criticized him.
He really couldn't spend money randomly now. All the spending should be done by her! If he spent his own money, it wouldn't count towards the good - luck value. Wasn't that just a waste?
Fortunately, Zheng Nanfeng was obedient. Hearing this, he immediately complied. "Yes, yes. Boss Ji is right! I won't buy it. I'll follow your orders."
The clerk's eyes lit up. "Ah, is this gentleman buying a car? What kind of car do you want?"
Ji Xiaoli casually scanned the store and then pointed at the sleek black sports car. "That one."
The clerk followed her gaze and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
"You have such good taste!! This is our latest model this year! It's priced at 3.07 million yuan. If you want it, I can give you a discount..."
"Don't give me a discount!!"
Ji Xiaoli immediately squashed his silly idea. "No discount! Money is no object, understand?"
What she lacked was good - luck value!
The clerk was so happy that his mouth was sore, and his head was nodding so vigorously that it seemed about to fall off. "Understood, understood!!"
He secretly hoped in his heart that there could be more generous customers like Ji Xiaoli and fewer poor and shabby ones like Li Songyuan every day...
