Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Yesterday afternoon, Si Cong, Qin Lang, and Yang Shuo departed from Jingdu and made their way back to Modu City. Their respective companies kept them occupied, and the days they spent outside were filled with tasks to address. As of now, only Qin Fen remained alongside Zhou Chao. Nevertheless, Zhou Chao was also making plans to bid farewell to Jingdu and set off for Rain City.

At the crack of dawn, Zhou Chao initiated the process of organizing his things. He took special care in securing the jade bracelet he had bought, stowing it away in a box before tucking it into his backpack. With mid-November upon him, Zhou Chao opted for a minimal selection of attire.

After packing, just as he was about to call Qin Fen to give him a ride to Daxing Airport, his phone on the table rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Lin Wu calling. It suddenly dawned on him that he had forgotten about Lin Wu.

“Hello, Lin Wu.”

“Boss, I’ve already returned to Modu City. When will you be back?”

“I might need a few more days. Just stay in Modu City. If you have time, get a cleaning company to tidy up the house. It’s been a while since it’s been occupied.”

“Sure, boss. Anything else?”

“No, I’ll call you when I’m back.” After finishing the call, Zhou Chao hung up and headed towards Qin Fen’s room.

“Knock, knock, knock. Qin Fen, wake up!” Zhou Chao knocked on the door while shouting.

“Why are you up so early? I was hoping to sleep a bit longer.” Qin Fen, with sleepy eyes, leaned against the doorframe, speaking weakly.

“Are you planning to stay in Jingdu or head back to Modu City?”

“I’ll stay in Jingdu. I’m planning to go skiing in a few days. How about you join me?”

“Forget it, I’m planning to visit my girlfriend in Rain City.” At the mention of his girlfriend, Qin Fen suddenly became energetic, and his curiosity ignited.

“Seeing your girlfriend, I’m sure you’re looking forward to hugging and kissing her.” Qin Fen’s shifting gaze fixed on Zhou Chao.

“You’re thinking too much. 1 haven’t seen her in a while, and 1 miss her.” Zhou Chao’s tone changed suddenly, sending shivers down his own spine.

“Then why did you wake me up? Did you want me to accompany you?”

“Why would I need you to accompany me? I woke you up to give me a ride to the airport.” Zhou Chao was now utterly speechless.

“Fine, 1’11 go take a shower first.” After saying that, Qin Fen closed the door.

Carrying his bag, Zhou Chao descended the stairs and settled onto the couch. He leisurely scrolled through short videos, checking out his friends’ accounts. He observed that their follower count had surpassed a million, and their recent videos were receiving favorable responses.

Zhou Chao pondered, “I wonder if they’re gearing up for a live stream?” He noticed a notification on their account, indicating they would be starting a livestream on the 18th of the month. Realizing that there was approximately a week left, he made up his mind to join and support them during the livestream.

Qin Fen didn’t keep Zhou Chao waiting for too long. He drove his own sports car and took Zhou Chao to the airport.

“When you’re free at home, arrange for a cleaning company to tidy up. I’ll give you a call when 1 return.”

“Okay.” Qin Fen said, waved his hand, and drove away, leaving Zhou Chao in a cloud of exhaust fumes.

Watching the departing sports car, Zhou Chao made a mental note to do the same to Qin Fen next time, then shouldered his bag and walked into the airport.

He had bought a first-class ticket last night and didn’t have to wait long before he boarded the plane. By the time the plane landed in Chengdu, it was already noon. Stepping out of the airport, the cold wind hit his face, causing his body to shiver involuntarily.

Zhou Chao hailed a taxi casually. “Driver, to the largest Mercedes-Benz 4S dealership in Chengdu.” He spoke fluent Sichuan dialect.

The driver looked at Zhou Chao in the rearview mirror when he heard the request for the largest Mercedes-Benz 4S dealership. Did this young man want to buy a car? Although various speculations filled the driver’s mind, he didn’t waste any time. He stepped on the gas and drove out of the airport.

“Hey, young man, are you going there to buy a car?”

“Yeah, 1 just arrived in Chengdu and I’m planning to buy a car for commuting.”

“Wow, impressive. Seeing that you’ve just come out of the airport, I assume you’re not from around here.”

“Yeah, I’m here in Rain City to visit my girlfriend. It just doesn’t seem practical to be without a way to get around, so 1 thought of getting a car.”

The driver heard Zhou Chao’s words and thought to himself, “Wow, that’s something.” Purchasing a Mercedes-Benz solely to visit a girlfriend – what sort of background does this person come from?

During the ride, the two engaged in casual conversation. They found that they had quite a bit in common, discussing topics from amusing anecdotes about taxi drivers to urban development. Their chat was engaging and enjoyable.

“Brother, we’ve arrived.” The taxi came to a stop in front of a 4S dealership.

“Thanks, driver.” Zhou Chao paid the fare, exited the car, and waved a farewell to the driver before heading inside.

Upon entering the 4S dealership, a beautiful saleswoman greeted him warmly, saying, “Hello, sir.”

Zhou Chao straightforwardly asked, “Do you have an available Mercedes-Benz G500 here? It would be best if I could take the car right away and have it photographed.”

The saleswoman was momentarily surprised by Zhou Chao’s direct manner. Despite being the largest dealership in Chengdu, they hadn’t encountered such a straightforward approach before. Typically, customers were guided to the lounge area for budget and model discussions, followed by test drives, model selection, and negotiations.

“Please wait a moment, sir. I’ll quickly check for you.” The saleswoman hurriedly left the lounge area. While they did have the car, she needed to confirm if immediate transfer and registration were possible.

She quickly came back and said, “Sir, we do have a white G500 available for immediate delivery. However, it’s the top-tier configuration, and its price is a bit higher than the standard models.”

Waving his hand, Zhou Chao replied, “Got it. Just give me the price, and I won’t haggle. Just tell me the price directly.”

Zhou Chao’s direct manner left the saleswoman quite astonished. She promptly pulled out the price list and calculated right then and there.

“I’m paying in full, no need for installment payments.” While calculating the price, the saleswoman briefly paused and then continued. She soon calculated all the expenses.

“Sir, the total comes to exactly 2 million yuan, without any extra change.” Observing this price, which matched what he had provided to his Third Brother previously, Zhou Chao didn’t make any further comments.

“Let’s sign the contract. Please try to make it quick. 1 haven’t had lunch yet.”

“Please wait a moment, sir. We have a dedicated dining area for special guests. Let me arrange it for you.” The saleswoman hurriedly left the lounge, her face beaming with a smile that revealed her excitement.

“Manager, prepare the contract.” The saleswoman barged into the manager’s office. The manager, who had just finished lunch and was planning to take a nap, was awakened by the saleswoman.

“Didn’t you just finish your lunch? How did you close a deal so quickly?” The manager looked puzzled.

“A customer came in just now and said he wanted the G500. He didn’t even look at the car, but he signed a full payment contract. Manager, get the contract ready quickly. I’ll go to the cafeteria to prepare a meal for the customer.” After speaking, she rushed out of the office, leaving the manager in a state of shock.

Before long, the attractive saleswoman walked in, carrying an exquisite meal box and a contract in her hand.

Without hesitation, Zhou Chao accepted the lunchbox and began to eat, glancing at the contract held by the saleswoman. With a beckoning gesture, he signaled for the contract, took it, and promptly signed his name. Retrieving his card from his pocket, he handed it to her, then continued eating his meal without care.

Soon enough, the saleswoman returned with the credit card and the transaction receipt. Zhou Chao didn’t bother to look at the receipt, simply retrieved his card and tossed the receipt into the trash.

“Please expedite the process, as I’m in a hurry. Also, kindly fill up the tank for me.”

“Absolutely, sir. 1’11 go and expedite things right away.” With that, she turned and left.

After waiting for less than an hour, Zhou Chao saw the saleswoman return, holding a set of keys. He knew his car was ready. Standing up, he accepted the keys.

“Vroom.” Without any delay, Zhou Chao placed his backpack in the passenger seat and drove the car out of the 4S dealership. Before leaving, he casually discarded the small note the saleswoman had given him out the window.

With his destination set for Rain City, Zhou Chao continued on his journey..
