"Hahaha..."
Manager Wu burst into laughter. While he felt a pang of regret, Lin Fan's unpretentious demeanor was quite pleasing.
"What kind of car does divine doctor Lin want?"
He asked.
"Something flashy," Lin Fan replied.
Manager Wu pondered for a moment, unsure what to suggest. "How about this: go to the Tiandi Car Dealership in town. Whichever one you like, just give me a call."
"Thanks, I'll make you a dumpling tomorrow."
The call ended.
Lin Fan freshened up and, with Gao Lu, headed to the Tiandi Car Dealership.
It was the largest dealership in Shimenzhen, offering a wide array of brands.
From basic commuter cars costing tens of thousands to sports cars worth millions, and even extended limousines for weddings.
"Good morning, sir. What kind of car are you looking for?"
A young saleswoman approached, ushering Lin Fan and Gao Lu inside.
"Do you have anything really flashy?"
The saleswoman paused, this being the first time she'd encountered such a way of buying a car.
"Judging by your handsome appearance and young age, sir, you must be interested in sports cars?"
She ventured.
Lin Fan nodded. "Sports cars sound good. Take me to see them."
The three moved to another section.
"Sir, this is our newly arrived Ferrari 488. Its overall design and power are perfectly suited to your style," the saleswoman said with a smile. "Imagine yourself cruising down the road at sunset with your beautiful girlfriend in a sports car. You'll definitely turn heads!"
Lin Fan's eyes were immediately drawn to the sports car. He went over and sat in it to get a feel for it, then motioned for Gao Lu to sit in the passenger seat.
"I really like the design of this central console. It won't distract from romantic conversation while driving," he remarked, placing his right hand on the steering wheel and lightly patting Gao Lu's head with his left.
"Darling, a Ferrari 488! It's so beautiful, will you buy it for me?"
Just then, a man and a woman approached. The woman was heavily made up, wearing high heels and an outfit that looked like fake designer wear. The man wore a floral checkered shirt and sunglasses, appearing somewhat dull.
"Qiaoqiao, a Ferrari is too expensive. I couldn't afford it even if I sold everything I own!"
Qiaoqiao was displeased. "If you can't even afford a Ferrari, how dare you pursue me? Wang Ming, I'm telling you, if you don't buy this car for me, don't even think about marrying me!"
Wang Ming immediately panicked. "Qiaoqiao, my company is just starting out. I only make less than a million a year. Can you give me a few more years? I'll definitely buy it for you!"
He was an entrepreneur in the programming field, and by ordinary standards, he was already well-off. However, buying a luxury car like a Ferrari was still beyond his reach.
"Useless!"
Qiaoqiao, dismissing him, walked over to the Ferrari and yanked open the passenger door. She imperiously addressed Gao Lu, "Get out, I want to sit in it."
Gao Lu smiled helplessly. As she started to move, Lin Fan gently held her wrist.
"She gets out, you get in. You want me to touch you?"
Qiaoqiao leaned halfway into the car, her voluptuous figure on display. She winked at Lin Fan, "If you can afford this car, I'll be your woman."
Lin Fan was surprised. This woman was quite bold!
"Are you in the honeymoon phase?" Lin Fan chuckled.
Qiaoqiao pulled her shoulder strap down. "However you want to be in the honeymoon phase, it's fine with me."
"Qiaoqiao, this kind of rich person is definitely no good!" Wang Ming rushed forward, without understanding the situation, and began to berate Lin Fan.
"Hmph!" Qiaoqiao snorted. "Wang Ming, the reason I got together with you in the first place was because you were a boss, and I thought you'd make a lot of money. But look at you, you give all your clients the lowest quotes in the industry, but use good programs and equipment. You save less than a million a year. Someone like you, who can't even afford a Ferrari, how are you going to support me in the future?"
Wang Ming stared at her in disbelief. "Qiaoqiao, isn't our love true? Didn't you say you weren't with me for money?"
Qiaoqiao sneered, "True love? Who would talk about love without money? You're a spineless coward. Get lost, don't delay my important business!" She turned back, her expression changing faster than a flipped book, and said flirtatiously, "Handsome guy, can you really afford this car?"
"If I can't afford it, will you scold me like you did him?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.
Qiaoqiao glanced at Gao Lu and said, "Handsome guy, don't joke. Your girlfriend's outfit alone must cost at least a hundred thousand. And that handbag is a limited edition that just came out last month. It was brought back from abroad, and the market price has already been driven up to eight or nine hundred thousand. How could you not have money?"
She had nagged Wang Ming for over half a month for that bag but had never gotten it. Now, seeing Gao Lu wearing it, her eyes widened. She cut straight to the chase, "Handsome guy, I can do everything your girlfriend can, and my skills are even more exquisite. What do you say, are you considering it?"
Wang Ming was stunned. "Qiaoqiao, you, you didn't tell me you were a virgin and had never had a boyfriend?"
Qiaoqiao rolled her eyes. "A so-called virgin just means a young woman. What did you think it was? Idiot!"
In that instant, Wang Ming felt his worldview collapsing.
Lin Fan looked at Gao Lu and saw a playful smile on her face. Lin Fan wouldn't touch a woman like that; he found her distasteful.
"I'm a bit of a neat freak. The clothes you're wearing were bought by your boyfriend, right? Is it really respectful to come to me trying to win me over like this?"
"Handsome guy, if you can really buy this car, I'll immediately take off the clothes you bought me." Qiaoqiao swayed her hips suggestively.
Lin Fan looked at the saleswoman. "I'll take this car. Please clean it up and fill the tank."
"Sir, the price of this car..." The saleswoman hesitated, but her meaning was clear. She was worried Lin Fan couldn't afford it.
Lin Fan took out his phone and sent a video to Manager Wu. "Old Wu, I'll take this one. Tell your employee."
Manager Wu, a bald man in his fifties, was vacationing at a resort a hundred kilometers away. A young woman in her twenties was clinging to him.
"Ferrari 488? Divine doctor Lin has excellent taste. Hand the phone to the sales staff." Manager Wu winced; millions were about to disappear. However, he had no choice, as health was priceless.
Lin Fan handed the phone to the saleswoman. She immediately recognized her boss and became very respectful. "Okay, Manager Wu, I'll process it for Mr. Lin right away." Her gaze towards Lin Fan was filled with shock.
The call ended. The saleswoman returned the phone to Lin Fan with both hands and said softly, "Mr. Lin, this car requires choosing configurations. What do you think..."
"Choose the best for everything. Manager Wu is treating, anyway." Lin Fan didn't know much about configurations, but he had heard that it was a trick used by car dealers to add tens of thousands to the final price. Since the car was a freebie, he didn't mind.
