Entering the Mercedes-Benz 4S shop.
Zhang Yang found all the salespeople sitting still.
He frowned and asked.
"I'm here to buy a car, aren't you going to serve me?"
The salespeople seemed not to hear Zhang Yang's words, continuing to chat in a circle.
This was because they had overheard Zhang Yang arguing with Huang Xin and her mother at the entrance earlier.
The initial impression led them to believe that Zhang Yang couldn't afford a car, so they were too lazy to waste their energy.
However.
Not all salespeople in the store were birds of a feather.
A girl with a long ponytail and a youthful face, clearly not having experienced much hardship in life.
She held a cup of water and walked towards Zhang Yang, smiling.
"Sir, please have a drink of water. Do you have a preferred model? I can help you with an introduction."
Zhang Yang politely took the water and placed it on the table.
Glancing at Huang Xin and her mother who had followed him in, he pondered.
"Any car will do, but I want the most expensive one, and it must be available for immediate pickup."
"Ah? The most expensive? Available immediately?" Gao Lili was taken aback, feeling a bit disappointed.
It seemed Zhang Yang was indeed not here to buy a car, as the mother and daughter at the entrance had said.
However, Gao Lili did not leave. Instead, she said enthusiastically.
"Sir, please come this way. I'll introduce you to some of the models we have in stock."
"Whether you buy it or not is fine. You can learn about them first."
In the Mercedes-Benz 4S shop.
The cars available for immediate pickup and driving away were basically high-end models.
This was because these types of cars were usually placed on the display floor.
Some of them might not even sell a few units in a year, but they were always in stock.
Seeing this scene.
Huang Xin's cold smile intensified.
If Zhang Yang had come in to buy a cheap A-class car, she might have still believed he was here to buy a car.
But Zhang Yang had just boastfully claimed to want the most expensive one, and one that was immediately available.
This made Huang Xin even more convinced that Zhang Yang was putting on an act.
"Heh, he's putting on a good show. Let's see how he handles this later."
Inside the Mercedes-Benz store, it wasn't just Huang Xin who thought this way.
The salespeople gathered together also mocked him.
"This Gao Lili is really too naive. She's actually taking him to the display area to look at cars."
"She has no foresight. He doesn't even have a decent watch, how can he afford the cars in the display area?"
"Those cars start at least at three million. Can he afford them?"
"..."
Clearly.
Everyone in the store did not have a good opinion of Zhang Yang.
These discussions were not kept quiet.
Zhang Yang and Gao Lili, not far away, could hear them clearly.
"You're introducing them so enthusiastically, aren't you afraid of a wasted effort in the end?" Zhang Yang asked, looking at Gao Lili beside him.
"Sir, I'm used to it. If you really don't like it, just consider it my practice session to improve my introduction skills," Gao Lili said with a kind smile.
Although her attitude seemed good, Gao Lili was actually feeling quite bitter.
These salespeople were all senior employees and were good at forming cliques.
They would eagerly rush to serve customers who could afford to buy cars, and they would even organize people to keep her occupied.
As a result, she hadn't made a single sale in a month.
However.
Gao Lili had not given up.
She believed that those who worked hard and persisted would eventually be rewarded.
Perhaps not today, but maybe tomorrow.
"Your mindset is good. Much better than theirs," Zhang Yang nodded secretly.
He praised Gao Lili, who was diligently explaining a Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
However, Zhang Yang's gaze was mostly focused on the center of the Mercedes-Benz display area.
On that display stand was a newly launched Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 63 for this year.
This was a high-performance four-door coupe.
The entire car featured sharp, flowing lines, with curves extending from the front to the rear.
The car was painted black, exuding a strong sense of sportiness.
To provide better aerodynamic performance for the entire vehicle.
An active rear spoiler was added.
When the speed reached 100, the spoiler would automatically rise.
At other times, it would remain hidden.
It could be said that this was a supercar tailor-made for young people.
However, the price was a bit steep, making it unattainable for many who liked it.
Zhang Yang had also seen news reports about this car's launch on his phone, so he knew a little about it.
"No need to introduce it. I'll take this one. Can I drive it away today?" Zhang Yang asked, pointing at the Mercedes-Benz GT 63.
"Ah?"
Gao Lili followed Zhang Yang's finger and saw which car he was referring to, and she was completely stunned.
"Sir, you're not joking, are you?"
Gao Lili swallowed and continued.
"How about I first introduce you to the performance and price of this car, and then you can consider it?"
Clearly, Gao Lili was worried that Zhang Yang would be embarrassed, so she was proactively giving him an out.
However, Zhang Yang shook his head and confirmed.
"No need. I'll take this one. Go and get the contract ready."
After saying that.
Zhang Yang handed his bank card and ID card to her.
Gao Lili felt as if she were dreaming and confirmed again.
"Sir, are you really going to buy it? That's a GT 63, it's... a bit expensive."
"Do I look like I'm joking? Hurry up and process it," Zhang Yang waved his hand casually, urging her.
"Okay, please wait a moment." Gao Lili was unsure of Zhang Yang's intentions.
But in Gao Lili's view, the customer was God.
She directly turned and went to the front desk to process the car purchase contract.
The salespeople who were watching in the store, as well as Huang Xin, who was preparing to laugh at Zhang Yang, were all stunned.
But after they reacted, they started to mock him.
"He doesn't have much money, but his tone is quite big. Can he afford a Mercedes-Benz GT 63?"
"This Gao Lili must have been kicked by a donkey in the head. She's actually going to process a contract. Isn't this just a waste of paper?"
"If he can afford it, I'll eat the spare tire of this car."
"..."
Huang Xin's mother, although she didn't understand the car buying process, looked at her daughter and asked.
"Xin'er, is Zhang Yang really going to buy a car?"
Huang Xin shook her head and explained.
"Mom, Zhang Yang is just bluffing, trying to trick us."
"He knows we're here to make fun of him, so he deliberately chose the most expensive car."
"He wants to create the impression that he can really afford to buy a car, so that we won't feel comfortable staying here to watch the show."
As she spoke, Huang Xin sneered.
"However, Zhang Yang is being too naive. I've seen through his little tricks."
Huang Xin had also been working for several years, and with her current experience.
She was very sure that Zhang Yang was just putting on an act.
She thought that Zhang Yang had only given his ID card and bank card to the salesperson.
He hadn't paid yet. When it came time to pay, he would definitely be exposed.
In the entire store, except for Gao Lili, almost everyone was waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
However, Zhang Yang couldn't be bothered to argue with them.
Their level was different, and it would be beneath him to argue with them.
However, he still had to put them in their place.
In fact, Zhang Yang hadn't planned to buy such an expensive car.
But Huang Xin and her mother were too annoying.
They were always so self-righteous, thinking that he was interested in the money from selling their house.
Since that was the case.
Zhang Yang would let this mother and daughter know that even a car he bought casually was a dream they could never reach.
After waiting for a while.
Gao Lili finished preparing the contract and walked towards Zhang Yang with a card reader, ink pad, and other items for signing the contract.
"Mr. Zhang, the contract is all ready. Please take a look."
"The landed price of this Mercedes-Benz GT 63 is 5.42 million. My commission is two percent, so I've waived the odd change."
"It's only 5.4 million. You can sign the contract after paying."
Gao Lili inserted the bank card that Zhang Yang had given her into the card reader, entered the amount, and handed it to Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang glanced at Gao Lili and smiled.
"Your character is good. I like it very much."
This compliment made Gao Lili blush, and her heart fluttered.
She even started to avoid Zhang Yang's gaze.
After all, Zhang Yang was quite handsome.
If he asked me out for dinner later, should I agree?
Gao Lili suddenly felt a little nervous.
Zhang Yang was unaware of her little thoughts.
His compliment was simply because he felt Gao Lili was not greedy.
Taking the card reader, Zhang Yang glanced at Huang Xin and her mother, who were craning their necks to watch, and gave a disdainful smile.
As for Huang Xin, upon noticing Zhang Yang's gaze, she became even more certain that Zhang Yang was putting on an act.
"Heh, he's looking at me, afraid to enter the password, worried about insufficient balance?" Huang Xin sneered and walked directly towards Zhang Yang.
"Zhang Yang, come on, enter the password. I'm waiting."
Ding~
Just as Huang Xin walked over, Zhang Yang entered the last digit of the password.
The card reader made a "ding" sound.
A payment receipt was printed from the top of the card reader.
"This! How is this possible! You actually paid successfully?!" Huang Xin was shocked and terrified.
And it wasn't just Huang Xin.
Even the salespeople who were expecting Gao Lili to have wasted her time found their sunflower seeds suddenly less appealing.
They looked at each other, their faces filled with regret.
Zhang Yang glanced at Huang Xin but ignored her.
He turned to Gao Lili and asked, "Can you handle the temporary license plate for the car?"
Gao Lili also snapped back to reality.
In fact, before Zhang Yang paid, she was still feeling mixed emotions, worried that Zhang Yang wouldn't be able to pay.
This was because...
Zhang Yang's conversation with Huang Xin and her mother, as well as Zhang Yang's attire, did not suggest he could afford such a large sum of money.
Gao Lili had treated this car purchase as a practice session for future sales.
Although she had a small glimmer of hope, it wasn't very strong.
Mainly because Zhang Yang had said earlier that he liked her, which had distracted Gao Lili.
However.
When the payment receipt from the card reader was printed, all of Gao Lili's thoughts were swept away, replaced only by surprise.
"Yes, sir! I'll go find the manager to process the temporary plate for you right away."
After saying that.
Gao Lili, holding the receipt and Zhang Yang's signed contract, was about to turn away.
However, Huang Xin, whose expression was constantly changing, stopped her.
"Wait! Let me see that receipt!"
"I don't believe a driver like him actually has the money to buy such an expensive car. I want to see whose name is on this card!"
Gao Lili, who was stopped, looked at Zhang Yang to seek his permission.
"How dark is your heart? When I wasn't buying a car, you said I was after your family's money. Now that I've bought it, you doubt it's mine?" Zhang Yang frowned.
"Zhang Yang, don't pretend." Huang Xin said coldly.
"You're just a driver. I strongly suspect this car wasn't bought by you, but by your boss for you to buy."
With that said.
Huang Xin, who thought she had seen through everything, directly snatched the receipt from Gao Lili's hand.
But in the next moment, Huang Xin's face turned pale.
This was because the name of the cardholder on the receipt was Zhang Yang.
"It... it's actually your money. How is this possible? Where did you get the money?" Huang Xin was devastated.
"You're really asking for it. Why bother?" Zhang Yang shook his head, looking at her like a clown.
Gao Lili quickly brought a temporary license plate.
Zhang Yang directly got into the car.
Under the stunned gazes of the mother and daughter, he drove away from the 4S shop.
However.
Zhang Yang did not return to the company to work.
Instead, he drove back to the old residential area.
To be more precise.
Zhang Yang was going to Huang Xin's house.
Earlier, Zhang Yang had learned that Huang Xin and her mother were indeed selling their house.
So, Zhang Yang had to go back to retrieve something he had hidden there.
...
Inside the Mercedes-Benz store.
Huang Xin and her mother became the laughingstock and punching bag for everyone.
The salespeople, who had been misled by their lies and thus lost a significant amount of commission, cursed at them.
Then, they directly kicked them out of the Mercedes-Benz store.
"Xin'er, did Zhang Yang really pay for the car himself?"
"I heard people inside say that the car cost over five million." Huang Xin's mother was also surprised.
"Who knows what shady dealings Zhang Yang has been involved in to be so rich now." Huang Xin said resentfully.
In her opinion, Zhang Yang was an orphan.
If their family hadn't taken him in when he was young, Zhang Yang would have starved to death in some corner.
Now that Huang Xin saw Zhang Yang living better than their family, her jealousy gradually turned into anger.
Huang Xin's mother, however, thought of another issue and her eyes widened.
"Oh, Xin'er, you don't think what Zhang Yang told us about the demolition this morning might be true, do you?"
This!
Upon hearing this, Huang Xin's heart wavered for a moment.
However, she quickly shook her head repeatedly.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Even if Zhang Yang can afford a car worth over five million, he's at most a nouveau riche."
"How could someone of his status know about the demolition of old residential areas?"
After thinking about it.
Huang Xin still refused to accept Zhang Yang's capabilities, believing he wasn't that capable.
Huang Xin's mother, on the other hand, was unusually not on the same side as Huang Xin.
"Xin'er, why don't we listen to Zhang Yang and wait a few more days?"
"Perhaps there will be news of the demolition? Anyway, our house hasn't been transferred yet."
Huang Xin directly waved her hand, rejecting her mother's idea.
"Mom, are you crazy? Just because Zhang Yang bought a car makes you trust him so much?"
"The person buying our house was found with great difficulty by Feng Jie. If we don't transfer the ownership tomorrow, how can I explain it to Feng Jie?"
"Feng Jie will definitely misunderstand us and think we don't trust him, which will cause a rift in our relationship."
"Are you really going to let your daughter lose such a good husband because of Zhang Yang's baseless words?"
Huang Xin's mother's face showed a moment of hesitation, and then she sighed.
"Alright, then we'll go and transfer the ownership tomorrow."
After the events of just now, they had lost the mood to buy a car.
...
On the other side.
Driving the Mercedes-Benz GT 63, Zhang Yang experienced the exhilarating feeling.
Every time he stepped on the accelerator, the push-back feeling was immense.
This car truly lived up to its reputation, equipped with a V8 twin-turbocharged engine.
It was simply amazing.
Zhang Yang sped all the way to Huang Xin's house.
Huang Xin's house was located right by the roadside.
This area was on the east side of the old residential district, better than where Zhang Yang lived, with parking space available.
He parked the car by the roadside and got out.
Looking at the house that was familiar from his childhood, Zhang Yang felt a bit emotional.
However, he shook his head and smiled.
Since his adoptive father passed away and this mother and daughter kicked him out, Zhang Yang no longer had any feelings for this place.
He was here today.
Just to retrieve something.
However, before Zhang Yang could enter, he sensed that something was wrong.
Why was the yard so messy? The clothes racks that were drying clothes outside had been knocked over.
Zhang Yang walked towards the house with suspicion.
Upon seeing the slightly ajar door and the mess inside.
He became even more puzzled.
Did the house get robbed?
Zhang Yang thought to himself, but he didn't go in.
This house had nothing to do with him.
He wanted to retrieve his belongings before Huang Xin and her mother returned.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain.
However, as Zhang Yang walked towards the towering tree.
A cold glint appeared in his eyes, and he began to have some guesses.
"It seems like Huang Xin's house is not as simple as a robbery," Zhang Yang said in a deep voice.
