Ficool

Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Li Zhun

The dealership is quite large.

Zhang Yumeng led Gu Bai left and right, finally arriving at a rather inconspicuous display booth.

With a slightly apologetic smile towards Gu Bai, she said, "I'm sorry Mr. Gu, but this car is nominally already owned by someone, so it's not easy to publicly display it; that's why it's in a less noticeable spot."

Gu Bai showed understanding, indicating it was okay.

When Zhang Yumeng lifted the curtain covering the car, a black and red bull was prominently displayed in front of him.

Like a fighter jet ready to take off, every line seemed exceptionally arrogant.

No matter how hard he thought, Gu Bai could only come up with four words to describe this car.

"Uncontainable dominance!"

Seeing Gu Bai's attention captured by the car, Zhang Yumeng quickly smiled and introduced, "Although this car is a customized version of the Aventador, the entire template is based on the Aventador, but the appearance has also undergone great changes. The previous customer might have preferred another limited edition model from Lamborghini, the Veneno. This car resembles the Veneno significantly.

Moreover, the power aspect has greatly improved, and it can truly be called a real track supercar!"

"I wonder if Mr. Gu is satisfied with this car?"

Zhang Yumeng asked with a smile.

Gu Bai didn't hold back and nodded, asking directly for the price.

"How much is this car?"

"Because it's a customized model, all procedures are already completed. This car is priced at 15.8 million."

"I'll take it."

Without a moment's hesitation, Gu Bai confirmed his choice.

"Huh?"

Despite being mentally prepared, Zhang Yumeng couldn't help but be stunned by Gu Bai's light-hearted "I'll take it" and then immediately confirming it.

This is 15.8 million, not 1,580.

Do rich people spend money so casually?

However, as a top brand sales executive, her professional ethics were quite high; she blinked and immediately reacted.

"The thing is, our dealership can only store this car; we don't have the right to sell it. You'll need to coordinate directly with our headquarters, so we can't offer financing services; only full payment is possible."

From the beginning, Gu Bai didn't plan to opt for installment loans, and he didn't pay much attention to Zhang Yumeng's words.

"Full payment then."

Seeing Gu Bai's attitude, Zhang Yumeng knew this was someone who wasn't strapped for cash.

"Please wait a moment, I'll let leadership communicate with the previous customer who ordered this car, as they're still the point of contact for this vehicle."

Having said that, she led Gu Bai back to the reception room.

On the way to find the leadership, Zhang Yumeng felt quite nervous.

Although she guessed Gu Bai was capable of buying this customized bull, she hadn't truly seen him demonstrate financial prowess. Now she's made the call to let Gu Bai see the car; if he does buy it, her commission and bonus won't be small, but if he's only wasting her time, he can simply walk away with nothing lost while she's caused quite a stir and might face salary or performance penalties, or even risk losing her job.

But now, it's too late for her to regret.

If she were to change her mind, she'd certainly offend Gu Bai first; she could only hope everything turns out well in her heart.

Arriving at the leadership's office, Zhang Yumeng explained the situation briefly. After several confirmations, they finally reached out to the custom client.

With a response in hand, Zhang Yumeng returned to the reception room.

"Mr. Gu, we've contacted the previous customer; he happens to have time today and will be here shortly."

Gu Bai nodded lightly.

After all, a good meal isn't afraid of tardiness; his liking for the car is genuine.

Seeing Gu Bai's relaxed demeanor, Zhang Yumeng's uneasy heart settled a bit, and she smoothly sat down next to Gu Bai.

"Mr. Gu seems to be quite young, isn't he?"

The cool air from the air conditioner mixed with Zhang Yumeng's perfume drifted into Gu Bai's nostrils.

He slightly tilted his head to glance at her; it was the first time today that Gu Bai seriously looked at Zhang Yumeng.

In front of him, Zhang Yumeng had shoulder-length black hair unrestricted, casually draping over her shoulders, a delicate and refined face slightly blushed, occasionally breathing heavily, likely caused by the earlier running.

Her slightly tight-fitting blazer perfectly showcased her figure, and the black pencil skirt appeared exceedingly taut.

Opening the system panel, Zhang Yumeng's attributes appeared before Gu Bai.

"Name: Zhang Yumeng

Looks: 91

Health: 90

Affection: 55"

Gu Bai could discern her looks at a glance, and a score of 91 wasn't low, but the 90 health score was unexpected for him.

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable under Gu Bai's staring gaze, Zhang Yumeng said a bit awkwardly, "Mr. Gu, is there something wrong with my attire?"

Gu Bai chuckled softly.

"No, you look very beautiful."

Upon hearing Gu Bai's praise, Zhang Yumeng felt an unsolicited surge of happiness.

With her appearance, similar compliments were definitely not scarce, but hearing it from Gu Bai evoked a different emotion.

That's quite normal.

For example, in a company, if a subordinate praises you once, it's considered natural and not something to be remembered deeply.

If someone of the same rank praises you, it tends to be taken to heart.

If a leader praises you, though not quite overwhelming, it's definitely not the same mindset as the previous two.

After all, a few words can be understood to mean much more.

In front of Zhang Yumeng, Gu Bai has been identified as a super wealthy second generation. Being praised by such a person is certainly more gratifying than being praised by the group of sycophants around.

"You haven't answered my question just now."

After discovering that Gu Bai has a pretty good temper, Zhang Yumeng spoke more freely, slightly coquettishly.

"Just turned 20 this year."

"Then you're a year younger than me."

Zhang Yumeng exaggeratedly covered her mouth in surprise.

"You should still be studying now, right?"

"Yes."

Gu Bai wasn't inclined to share too much, and just replied lightly.

Yet Zhang Yumeng didn't mind, and continued, "Let me guess, you're probably a sophomore, right?"

Seeing Gu Bai nod, Zhang Yumeng leaned closer, smiling as she said, "Then I should count as your senior, I'll be a junior when the semester starts."

"You're still studying?"

"Is it weird?

I can only be considered a part-timer here, working full-time during summer break."

"So are you working part-time to support yourself through school?"

Upon hearing Gu Bai's question, Zhang Yumeng laughed and openly replied, "My family conditions are pretty good, enough to pay for school. Part-timing here is just to feed my vanity.

After all, a lipstick can easily cost hundreds, and a bag thousands to tens of thousands, relying on family is out of the question."

"You're quite honest."

"Of course, I earn money by my ability, spending it as I wish isn't embarrassing."

Gu Bai chuckled noncommittally.

"With your conditions, finding a wealthy boyfriend could fulfill everything you just said."

Hearing Gu Bai's words, a flicker of unease crossed Zhang Yumeng's face, but she quickly replied, "Most people probably think like you, but don't assume it's hypocritical of me. I don't want it, at least not now."

"?"

Gu Bai smirked, looking at her playfully.

"Don't laugh; this is my most honest thought. I'm quite a vain girl, and I believe most girls are, but at least my vanity has a limit now. But I can't guarantee that my limit won't drop in the future.

No matter how vain, I'm still a girl.

Women are naturally fond of fantasizing about the beautiful, I've considered what you've said. If there truly is a boy who's rich, young, and handsome for me to choose, then I surely wouldn't refuse. But if I were to trade myself for money with those greasy, portly middle-aged men or elders, I definitely couldn't do it now."

Seeing Zhang Yumeng's earnest response, Gu Bai smiled without saying anything.

Being able to see her physical attributes, Gu Bai knew she was likely not lying.

"Sometimes I think, if only I had the family condition like Mr. Gu, these problems wouldn't need considering."

Gu Bai rubbed his nose, somewhat awkward.

He has no such family condition.

If it weren't for the system, he probably wouldn't sit here chatting with Zhang Yumeng his whole life.

Still, Gu Bai couldn't explain to Zhang Yumeng that he comes from an ordinary family due to having a system.

"Some are born in Rome, there's no help for that. But if you're willing, there are shortcuts to Rome. Do I look like one of those shortcuts?"

There's a saying, when men have money, they turn bad.

Actually, Gu Bai reckons, everyone is inherently bad, just suppressed due to lack of money. When they become wealthy, they can freely release their nature.

Now Gu Bai belongs to the process of releasing his nature.

"Ah?"

Hearing Gu Bai's words, Zhang Yumeng's heart trembled.

She's a smart woman, naturally understanding the meaning in Gu Bai's words, yet pretended ignorance saying, "I don't quite understand what you're saying."

Gu Bai wasn't interested in acting with her.

"If you don't understand, then let's not discuss it. Talk when you do."

Finished, he started playing on his phone.

Zhang Yumeng felt she might have missed something by pretending ignorance, but her pride stopped her from pursuing further.

After more than an hour, just as Gu Bai was about to grow impatient, Zhang Yumeng's leader brought in a casually dressed youth.

"Mr. Li, this is Mr. Gu intending to take over your car."

Li Zhun glanced at Gu Bai briefly, then grinned broadly, "Hello, I'm Li Zhun."

"Gu Bai."
