“What car is that?”
“I want it!”
Following the direction of Zhou Xuan’s finger, a completely black, top-tier supercar caught Li Xiaolu’s eye. The pure black paint, coupled with the flowing, streamlined curves unique to sports cars, made the entire vehicle appear both majestic and dignified, without sacrificing its aesthetic appeal. It was like a monarch born from the night, so dazzling and eye-catching that once one’s gaze fell upon it, they couldn't bear to look away.
However, as soon as Li Xiaolu clearly saw the car, her expression changed. She had schemed and calculated countless times, yet never imagined Zhou Xuan would be interested in this particular car.
“I’m very sorry, sir!”
“This car is not for sale!”
“It’s a car that our boss’s friend entrusted to us!”
“And it’s considered the treasure of our shop!”
“It’s a collector’s car that we won’t sell, no matter how much money is offered!”
“Many people have come here before and fallen for this car!”
“But in the end, without exception, none of them were able to buy it!”
“May I show you some other vehicles?”
“Besides this one, we have many other excellent supercars in our store!”
“Not for sale?”
Hearing Li Xiaolu’s words, Zhou Xuan’s brow furrowed immediately. He had been happy, having finally found a car that caught his eye, only to discover it was a non-selling item from someone else’s shop. This left Zhou Xuan feeling rather dejected.
“Miss, is this car really not for sale?”
“Could you perhaps discuss it with your boss again?”
“As you can see, my boyfriend truly loves this car!”
“As long as we can buy it, we’re willing to pay any price!”
Seeing Zhou Xuan’s slight gloom, Lu Ling’er, who had been standing beside him silently, suddenly stepped forward. She took Li Xiaolu’s hands and showed her a pleading expression. In truth, ever since Lu Ling’er could remember, she had never pleaded with anyone or asked for anything. Especially not to be so persistent and beg someone when they had already clearly stated it was impossible. But there was no other way; she could see how much Zhou Xuan liked this car. For this boy she cherished, she was willing to do something she had never done, or even thought of doing before. Not for any other reason, but simply because she couldn't bear to see the disappointment in Zhou Xuan’s eyes.
“That’s right, little sister!”
“Since the car was made!”
“It’s definitely meant for someone to drive!”
“If it wasn’t sold before!”
“It’s probably because no one could offer a price that satisfied your boss!”
“How about this!”
“You go and tell your boss right now!”
“We’re willing to offer a hundred million to buy this car!”
“I don’t believe your boss would still refuse to sell it!”
Seeing Lu Ling’er stepping forward to implore the other party, Bai Li Lie also came forward. With a grand gesture, he directly quoted a price of one hundred million. He was confident that with the price he was offering, it would be more than enough to buy any car in the world. As long as the owner of this car dealership wasn't an idiot, they would absolutely not refuse his request. The reason he stepped forward to help Zhou Xuan at this moment was entirely because he clearly remembered his grandfather’s instructions when he left home. His grandfather had told him to foster a good relationship with Zhou Xuan no matter what, even if it meant spending money at a crucial moment, he shouldn’t hesitate. All expenses would be reimbursed by the Bai Li family. His task was to befriend Zhou Xuan as much as possible, even becoming friends with him! Because his grandfather also said that whether the Bai Li family could regain its former glory, or even reach new heights in the future, might depend on whether he could truly gain Zhou Xuan’s approval! Therefore, in such a situation, Bai Li Lie naturally wanted to go all out to help Zhou Xuan acquire this car. While this might not immediately win Zhou Xuan’s approval, at least it was a great start, wasn’t it?
“This beautiful young lady, and this handsome young man!”
“I truly understand your current feelings!”
“But it’s really not that I’m unwilling to help you!”
“This car is named ‘King of the Night’!”
“There’s only one in the entire world!”
“Its manufacturing cost alone reached one hundred and thirty million!”
“And it’s truly not an item belonging to our dealership!”
“It was sent here by air by a friend of our boss several years ago!”
“And entrusted to our care!”
“Last time, the head of a prominent family from Shangjing City offered three hundred million!”
“Yet our boss remained unmoved!”
“So, even if I help you ask now!”
“The answer will undoubtedly be the same!”
“If your friend still wants to look at cars!”
“I can take him to see others!”
“But this one, it is truly beyond my capabilities!”
Hearing Lu Ling’er and Bai Li Lie, Li Xiaolu apologized to them with regret in her eyes. This was not her speaking carelessly, but the truth of the matter.
“Forget it!”
“Ling’er!”
“Let’s not make things difficult for them!”
“Let’s go look at something else!”
“There are so many cars in the world, it’s not like we can’t do without this one!”
Seeing that Lu Ling’er was about to say something more after Li Xiaolu finished speaking, Zhou Xuan, standing beside her, smiled and interrupted her. Zhou Xuan understood Lu Ling’er’s desire to buy the car for him out of concern for him. However, Zhou Xuan did not want to see Lu Ling’er begging someone else so humbly for something he liked. He truly liked this car, but compared to Lu Ling’er, it seemed insignificant. Zhou Xuan would never do something as foolish as abandoning the essential for the trivial.
“But...”
“That’s enough, there’s nothing to debate!”
“Let’s go look at other cars!”
Saying this, Zhou Xuan took Lu Ling’er’s hand and was about to lead her away.
“If three hundred million isn’t enough, then I’ll offer five hundred million!”
“Ten hundred million!”
“I have plenty of money!”
“This car must be sold to me today!”
Just then, a rough voice came from behind Zhou Xuan. Hearing this voice, Zhou Xuan turned his head sharply.
“Bai Li Lie, you…”
“Who was it that was just talking about five hundred million, ten hundred million?”
Hearing Bai Li Lie’s words, Zhou Xuan frowned slightly. Just as he was about to say something else, he suddenly noticed that not far behind them, a slightly overweight man had also taken a liking to the car Zhou Xuan had chosen earlier. He was now arguing with a spirited young girl. And those arrogant words clearly came from this fat man! Seeing this scene, Zhou Xuan, who had been about to leave, slowly stopped in his tracks. He was very curious to see if this braggadocious fat man could actually buy this non-selling item today!
