"Beep beep!"
Lian Wenxin honked at Chen Fan a few times, drawing the attention of many onlookers.
He then slowly parked his BMW 530 next to Chen Fan's BMW.
"Director Lian's car must be very expensive, right? Whose new car is more expensive, his or Dr. Chen's?"
"Of course, this is a BMW 530, costing over five hundred thousand. Dr. Chen's 320 can be had for thirty thousand!"
"Really? But I feel like Dr. Chen's car is bigger than Director Lian's."
"Maybe Dr. Chen bought a new model?"
"No, even a new car wouldn't be this much bigger. Look, the tires aren't in the same class. The car is clearly taller, longer, and much wider than Director Lian's!"
"I didn't notice until you mentioned it. Is Dr. Chen's 3 Series imported? This car is clearly much better than Director Lian's, especially when parked side-by-side."
The surrounding medical staff pointed at Chen Fan's and Lian Wenxin's cars, discussing amongst themselves.
Seeing this, Lian Wenxin showed a hint of mockery on his face. He intended to embarrass Chen Fan in front of everyone and suppress Chen Fan's arrogant demeanor.
However, as Lian Wenxin opened his car door and got out, his expression froze when he looked at the front of Chen Fan's BMW.
Because Lian Wenxin's BMW was parked next to Chen Fan's, it was obvious that his car was significantly shorter than Chen Fan's! It was also lower, and the rims were larger than his BMW's tires!
This, this is a 3 Series?
Lian Wenxin felt like slapping himself. He loved studying cars. The BMW 3 Series has a length of only 4.7 meters, while his 5 Series is 5.1 meters long. How could it be longer than his car here!
Lian Wenxin estimated Chen Fan's car length to be around 5.3 meters, and those iconic rims were only found on the BMW 7 Series!
Thinking of this, Lian Wenxin's face turned green. He had actually driven a 5 Series to show off in front of a 7 Series! What kind of sick joke was this?
Then Lian Wenxin walked to Chen Fan's car and looked at the "320" badge on the back, asking Chen Fan, "Dr. Chen, why did you put a 320 badge on your 7 Series?"
"?"
7 Series?
Xu Lang, standing nearby, was stunned. "Director Lian, what did you say? He, this is a 7 Series?"
Lian Wenxin glared at Xu Lang with a dark expression. "Nonsense, have you ever seen a 3 Series that's bigger than a 5 Series?"
If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been foolish enough to drive a 5 Series in front of a 7 Series to show off!
Chen Fan knew Lian Wenxin had recognized his car's model and said with a smile, "Director Lian, one should be low-key. I bought this car for commuting and didn't want to show off, so I changed the badge."
Lian Wenxin was dumbfounded. He had seen 3 Series with 5 Series badges, and 5 Series with 7 Series badges, but this was the first time he had seen a 7 Series with a 3 Series badge.
Moreover, Lian Wenxin really wanted to curse Chen Fan. A 7 Series BMW is a full 60 centimeters longer than a 3 Series! You put a 3 Series badge on it, don't you think it's incongruous?! If he had put on a 5 Series badge, he wouldn't have been foolish enough to drive his car over to show off!
"Dr. Chen, where did you buy this 3 Series? Is it the latest model? It looks better than Director Lian's 5 Series and is a size bigger. I'm planning to buy a car soon, I'll go take a look too!" At this moment, a doctor walked over.
"Auto city, BMW 4S store. Actually, the 5 Series is not bad either," Chen Fan replied enthusiastically.
"Dr. Chen, are you kidding? Didn't you see how much worse the 5 Series is compared to the 3 Series? Only a fool would buy a 5 Series."
Hearing their conversation, Lian Wenxin really wanted to smash his head against a wall. With a dark expression, he looked at the surrounding doctors and nurses and said, "Don't you all have work to do? What are you all gathered here for?!"
Seeing Lian Wenxin's outburst, everyone quickly dispersed.
Lian Wenxin got back into his car and, with a cold expression, moved his car away from Chen Fan's.
Chen Fan looked at Xu Lang, who was still stunned, and asked, "Dr. Xu, is there anything else?"
Xu Lang finally snapped out of his shock and looked at Chen Fan's car in disbelief. "Dr. Chen, how much did this car cost?"
"Just over a million."
"Just over a million?"
Xu Lang felt like his soul had been hit by over a million critical blows. Why? Why did he, who had worked so hard for so long, have less money than a kid who had just transitioned from intern to full doctor?
Chen Fan walked towards the outpatient building. As he passed Xu Lang, he patted Xu Lang on the shoulder. "Dr. Xu, you're still young. Work hard, and I believe in your lifetime, you'll be able to afford a luxury car like this."
With that, Chen Fan walked into the outpatient building without looking back.
Xu Lang's eyelids twitched a few times. How could he not feel that Chen Fan wasn't comforting him at all? This was clearly sarcasm!
Chen Fan had afternoon and evening shifts. By the time he arrived at the hospital after buying the car, it was almost noon.
An hour later, Qin Shuran, who had finished her work, arrived at Chen Fan's consultation room. "I heard you brought your new car back?"
Chen Fan nodded.
"Then aren't you going to treat me to lunch to celebrate?" Qin Shuran asked, crossing her arms.
Chen Fan checked the time and generously said, "Okay, buying a new car is definitely worth celebrating. What do you want to eat for lunch?"
"I want to eat Sichuan cuisine. Let's go to that Sichuan restaurant in the urban village."
"Alright," Chen Fan agreed.
Qin Shuran took off her white coat and they went to the parking lot together. However, when Qin Shuran saw Chen Fan's brand-new BMW, she looked at Chen Fan strangely. "You put a 3 Series badge on a 7 Series?"
Chen Fan asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
Qin Shuran rolled her eyes at Chen Fan. "Anyone who knows cars can tell. The 3 Series is a B-segment car, and the 7 Series is a D-segment car. There are two classes between them. What were you thinking, putting a 3 Series badge on a 7 Series?"
Chen Fan scratched his head awkwardly. "I just wanted to be low-key."
Qin Shuran frowned slightly. "Was the person who sold you the car a woman?"
Chen Fan didn't understand but nodded.
"Was she very beautiful?"
Chen Fan thought about it. The female salesperson and General Manager Sun were indeed quite attractive. He nodded again.
"Hmph, I knew it. You must have caved to the persistent nagging of a beautiful woman and bought this 7 Series," Qin Shuran said with a cold expression as she opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
Chen Fan was speechless. He couldn't explain what had happened that morning.
After all, he had said last night that he was buying a cheap mode of transportation, but today he had picked up a 7 Series worth over a million. Anyone would suspect something was amiss.
As soon as Chen Fan got into the car, Qin Shuran said, "We're not going for Sichuan cuisine anymore."
"Then where are we going?"
Qin Shuran glanced at Chen Fan, her tone carrying a hint of jealousy. "If other women can make you change from a 3 Series to a 7 Series with their nagging, then I'll change from a Sichuan restaurant to a Western restaurant! I want to go to Mandara Western Restaurant."
Chen Fan's mouth twitched a few times. He had heard of Mandara before; it was considered the most expensive Western restaurant in Jiangcheng.
