"All right, it seems you've made quite a lot of money. I underestimated your earning potential."
Xia Zhengping looked at his handsome young future son-in-law with emotion.
He had to admit, his precious daughter had excellent taste.
In just over a year, the pig-headed boy he'd once seen had unknowingly transformed into such an outstanding young talent.
"Uncle Xia, if you have any thoughts about investing in stocks or Bitcoin, I can give you some advice."
Qin Tian said with a smile.
Xia Zhengping smiled and shook his head, politely refusing, "I'll pass. Money can't be earned endlessly. I'm already very content with the business I've built up to this point. The rest of my life, I just want to help you two out for a few more years, and then I'll retire and enjoy life with Nuan Nuan's mother."
"Uncle, I truly admire your mindset, but isn't it a bit early to talk about retirement?"
Qin Tian teased with a chuckle.
"I'm over forty, it's not early anymore,"
Xia Zhengping replied with a smile.
"Dinner's ready, come help me bring out the dishes."
Xia Nuannuan's voice called from the kitchen.
"Coming!"
Qin Tian turned and answered. He then said to Xia Zhengping, "Uncle, shall we have a couple of drinks together? I'll drive back tomorrow."
"Sure!"
Xia Zhengping nodded in agreement.
"Then please sit here for a moment, I'll go help with the dishes."
After saying that, Qin Tian got up and quickly headed to the kitchen.
Soon, the dishes were brought to the table.
Qin Tian opened a bottle of fine wine and started drinking with Uncle Xia.
Xia Nuannuan watched the two of them enjoying their drinks and was very happy, continuously serving dishes to their bowls.
Her future father-in-law had a good capacity for alcohol, but unfortunately, he met Qin Tian, who was like a cheat.
In the end, Uncle Xia, who was quite drunk, dozed off on the living room sofa, while Qin Tian, seemingly unaffected, cleaned up the dishes with Xia Nuannuan.
...
...
Unknowingly, a month had passed in a flash.
Qin Tian received a call from the 4S dealership, informing him that the car ordered for Xia Nuannuan would arrive in two days.
It happened to be the weekend, so the two of them slept in. After getting up and having breakfast together, they drove to the 4S dealership to pick up the car.
This 4S dealership was located in Jiangcheng's largest auto city, where you could find dealerships for almost all car brands.
When the two of them arrived, the previous saleswoman and the dealership's manager were already waiting outside to greet them.
For a top-tier luxury sports car dealership like this, they might not even sell one car a month, so every customer was treated as a VIP.
As soon as Qin Tian parked the car, the attractive saleswoman in a suit quickly approached with a smile and opened the car door for them.
"Good morning, Mr. Qin!"
The female salesperson greeted him respectfully.
"Good morning!"
Qin Tian smiled and nodded.
"And this must be your girlfriend, Miss Xia. Hello!"
The female salesperson then greeted Xia Nuannuan inside.
When Qin Tian had come to order the car last time, he had mentioned that it was for his girlfriend and had even provided Xia Nuannuan's ID.
The female salesperson had been extremely envious at the time and remembered it vividly.
"Hello!"
Xia Nuannuan responded with a smiling nod.
"Mr. Qin, your girlfriend is so beautiful!"
The female salesperson praised them sincerely.
"Thank you, I think so too."
Qin Tian smiled slightly, got out of the car, and closed the door.
"Mr. Qin, it's good to see you again."
The manager, a middle-aged man around forty, hurried forward with his right hand extended as he saw Qin Tian get out.
Qin Tian smiled and shook his hand, asking, "Manager Xu, has the car arrived at the dealership?"
"Yes, it's inside. Shall I show you around first?"
Manager Xu suggested with a smile.
"Okay!"
Qin Tian agreed.
Xia Nuannuan walked over and affectionately linked her right arm with his.
Following the manager and the female salesperson, they walked hand-in-hand into the 4S dealership.
In the spacious and bright lobby, where the floor could be polished to a mirror-like shine, were displayed a few luxury sports cars of various models.
These display cars were usually not for sale and might not even belong to the dealership; they were merely there for customers to admire. Customers who wanted to buy a car had to select their specifications and place a custom order in advance.
For someone like Qin Tian, picking up the car within a few months was already considered very fast.
Often, it took anywhere from six months to two years.
Qin Tian immediately spotted the car he had ordered for Xia Nuannuan, placed right in the center of the lobby, surrounded by numerous flowers, balloons, and various decorations to create a grand atmosphere.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
As the two of them approached the car, several staff members standing on both sides simultaneously fired confetti cannons, sending red paper scraps and ribbons flying.
"Miss Xia, congratulations on becoming the proud owner of a Ferrari!"
Manager Xu took a bouquet of flowers from the female salesperson and presented it to Xia Nuannuan with both hands, wearing a professional smile.
"Thank you!"
Xia Nuannuan glanced at Qin Tian beside her. Under his encouraging gaze, she took the flowers with a hint of shyness.
"Please look over here, this is the car delivery gift we've prepared for you!"
Manager Xu gestured towards a round table beside them.
The two of them looked over and saw several opened exquisite gift boxes displayed on the round table.
"This is a titanium alloy model that is exactly the same as your car. You can keep it as a souvenir to decorate your home. This is the key, and these are a pair of couple's watches we are gifting to you both."
Manager Xu introduced them one by one.
Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan listened, both quite satisfied.
At this moment, the female salesperson approached with a bottle of champagne.
"Mr. Qin, Miss Xia, this is the champagne our dealership has prepared for you. Shall we celebrate together?"
"Sure!"
Qin Tian smiled and nodded.
With a soft pop, the champagne was opened.
After drinking champagne to celebrate together, it was time for the test drive.
Xia Nuannuan was a little hesitant to get into the car and wanted Qin Tian to test drive it.
"This was bought for you, so of course, you should test drive it. Go ahead, don't worry, I'll sit in the passenger seat!"
Qin Tian reassured her with a doting smile.
"Alright!"
Xia Nuannuan nodded and walked towards the driver's seat.
The Manager Xu had already helped open the driver's side door and thoughtfully used the back of his hand to cushion the top of the door to prevent Xia Nuannuan from accidentally hitting her head.
Seeing Xia Nuannuan seated, Qin Tian walked over and sat in the passenger seat.
Inside, the car had red leather upholstery, carbon fiber accents visible everywhere, and two screens along with various touch-sensitive controls that exuded a sense of technology.
After looking around, Xia Nuannuan's eyes showed surprise, and a sweet smile bloomed on her face.
It was clear that everything inside the car had astonished her.
"This is the ignition. Step on the accelerator and press this, and it should start."
Qin Tian said with a smile, pointing to the start button located below the steering wheel.
Xia Nuannuan nodded in acknowledgment, placed her right foot on the accelerator, and pressed the start button with some nervousness.
"Vroom—"
A deep, resonant roar filled the air.
