Wen Shu drove them to the Mercedes-Benz 4S store.
Mr. Lin, I dont know much about cars. I might not be able to educate you on them.
Its fine. Were just looking around.
With that, Lin Yi and Li Chuhan strolled around the 4S shop. Wen Shu sat in the resting area at the side and chatted with her best friend on WeChat.
Wen Shu, Yangyang, do you remember the person I told you about yesterday?
Her best friend: Which one? You told me about a total of three men yesterday. I did some evaluation. That product manager seems to be quite good. At his level, his annual salary is at least 500,000 yuan. Moreover, hes a native of Yangcheng. He has a car and a house. His conditions are indeed not bad.
Wen Shu said, Its not that product manager. Its the third man I mentioned to you. Hes the one who donated all his money and drives a Shari.
Her best friend, Him? Just go straight past him . Although he graduated from a famous school and will earn a lot in the future, such a person usually has an abnormal brain. Who knows when he might donate all the money he saves in the future? Dont even think about it.
Wen Shu, But did you know he came to Yangcheng today? I was in charge of receiving him. As soon as he got off the plane, he went straight to the Mercedes-Benz 4S shop and said that he wanted to buy a car.
Her best friend, Huh? Whats going on? He wants to buy a car after getting off the plane?
Wen Shu said, Its true. Were in the shop. We dont have a car and its inconvenient for us to travel. Thats why he wants to buy a means of transport now.
After saying that, Wen Shu even sent her best friend a photo of the scene to prove that she was telling the truth.
Best friend, Its just a car. Dont make a fuss.
Best friend, Although he donated all his money, its impossible for him to not have a single cent remaining. Its normal to buy a car to travel around. Dont make a fuss.
Wen Shu, But they shouldnt have this much to spare, right?
Best friend: Sister, do you think youre rich just because you bought a Mercedes-Benz? Cant you be a little more worldly and act less like a hick?
Best friend: You also drive a Mercedes-Benz. Are you lacking money?
Wen Shu said, Im just afraid of missing out. After all, hes a man whos about to donate tens of millions.
Best friend, Alright, Ill teach you another way to determine if a man is rich.
Wen Shu, How? Spit it out.
Best friend, Its said that a watch to a man is the same as a diamond to a woman. Although the car he drives isnt worth much, youll know everything you look at his watch. Every successful man has a watch that matches his status. Youll know the truth when you see it.
Wen Shu tried her best to recall the scene when she met Lin Yi yesterday. She realized that he didnt seem to be wearing a watch.
At the thought of this, Wen Shu tilted her head and looked at Lin Yi, who was strolling around. She realized that there seemed to be a watch on his wrist, but it was dark and she couldnt see what brand it was.
Wen Shu said, I see the watch he was wearing, but I ca t tell what brand it was.
Best friend. Give me a rough description. Ive seen many watches before and know my stuff.
Wen Shu said, I cant see it clearly. Its dark and the dial is colorful. It doesnt look simple at all. It looks especially exaggerated. Moreover, the strap is made of rubber.
Best friend, A rubber watch strap? Even my nephew in junior high school doesnt wear a rubber watch strap anymore. This kind of STEM-field man is too lowly. I cant believe he actually wears such a watch. One look and you can tell that hes a stubborn person. Hes not on the same level as us at all.
Wen Shu, Are you sure its not worth anything?
Her best friend, Of course its not worth anything! Let me tell you, the most valuable type of watch is a mechanical watch. Its strap is either steel chain or pure leather. There are definitely no rubber straps. Moreover, expensive watches all have distinct characteristics. The decoration of the dial is very simple, and the watch he brought looks like a primary school students watch. Its so cheap.
Wen Shu said, I also think its quite ordinary. The watch that my boyfriend brought him costs more than 10,000 yuan. Even that looks better than his.
Best friend, So, listen to my advice. Dont think too much about it. Dont think that you shouldnt give up just because hes handsome. Without money, hes useless. You should focus on that product manager.
Wen Shu said, Dont talk nonsense. Im good friends with that product manager. I also have a boyfriend.
Best friend, Tsk, if you have a boyfriend, why are you inviting him out for a trip to f.o.o.keat next month? What an obvious lie.
In order to prevent her best friend from criticizing her any further, Wen Shu put down her phone and did not reply. She began to check the weather in f.o.o.keat.
If it was going to rain, she would have to change the date in advance.
This way, Sir.
As Wen Shu was checking the weather, she saw the female salesperson of the 4S shop walking over with Lin Yi and Li Chuhan.
Mr. Lin, are you sure you like that red G63?
Yeah. Lin Yi nodded.
Although there is an available car, the red color model is 100,000 yuan more expensive. I have to tell you this in advance.
In order to avoid unnecessary drama, the female salesperson mentioned the increase in price in advance.
Alright, I know the market price of the G63. I know that the price will be higher. Help me calculate how much the high-end model costs.
I did some calculations for you just now. This will be a red high-end G63 with an AMG sports kit. The price of the car is 2.79 million yuan. Coupled with insurance and purchase tax, itll be about 3.05 million yuan.
Alright, let me swipe my card.
Wen Shu was shocked when she heard the price of the car. She almost dropped her phone.
The G cla.s.s is that expensive? I thought its only a million yuan.
Maam, this gentleman is buying a G63, not a G500. In terms of price, its almost more than a million yuan more expensive.
Wen Shus head buzzed as she listened.
Wasnt he out of money? How could he buy a car worth more than three million yuan?
Did he buy it with government funds?
However, the funds given by the city seemed to only be a little over five million yuan. Wasnt it too extravagant for him to spend more than three million yuan without even blinking the moment he arrived here?
Should I report this to Secretary Wu?
This was too much!
At the thought of this, Wen Shu stood up and said politely,
Mr. Lin, Im going to the washroom. Excuse me.
Okay.
After saying goodbye, Wen Shu walked toward the corner and dialed Wu Zhaoyous number.
Have you received Mr. Lin? Is everything going smoothly? Wu Zhaoyou asked.
Secretary Wu, I have something to tell you. Wen Shu did not want to talk nonsense and went straight to the point. This was the only way to get the money back in time.
What is it? Did something go wrong?
The person called Lin Yi just bought a car worth more than three million yuan with the government funds.
You must be joking!
I also felt that this matter is quite overboard. The funds were intended to be used to build roads, but he actually used them to fill his own pockets. Weve misjudged him.
I have to say that youre joking again! Wu Zhaoyou said.
The five million yuan in funds is still with the city finance department. It hasnt been distributed yet. How could he use the funds to buy anything? What kind of reporter are you? How dare you spread misinformation?
