Zhuang Keluo, it turns out, is the heiress of the Zhuang family, one of the four major families in Yunzhou City! She truly is a super-rich and beautiful woman, on par with Shangguan Bei, standing at the very top of Yunzhou City's high society!
It's really interesting to think about. I've been in Yunzhou City for less than a year, first saving Shangguan Bei from a grilled fish stall, and then saving Zhuang Keluo from the bus station. Heaven really knows how to make me a hero!
But strangely, how did Zhuang Keluo find me so quickly? That's a bit astonishing, isn't it?
Lu Chen never dreamed that it was because Zhuang Keliang had betrayed him again, showing the photos he'd taken of him to the sexy policewoman Tian Xia. And Tian Xia, in turn, was Shangguan Bei's good sister, who had noticed her Weibo account. With these two things compared, how could Lu Chen not reveal his true colors?
Zhuang Keluo, tired from scolding him, turned around and tried to hug Lu Chen's arm again. This subconscious action startled Lu Chen. He quickly dodged, shouting, "Hold your temper!"
"Okay..." Zhuang Kelu muttered, a little aggrieved, "I'll hold my temper."
Then she asked, "Brother Chen, what do you want to do with this showroom manager and this sales assistant? What do you say? What should I do? Or, how about firing them?"
At this, Lulu was only slightly panicked, but Gu Zhide was completely flustered. Think about it, he'd worked his way up to showroom manager after so many years in the car market, earning over ten thousand a month, plus year-end bonuses. If he got fired, where would he find such a good job?
He immediately pleaded, "Miss, please don't do this! I've worked here for so many years, I'm practically a veteran of the car city! I've put in a lot of hard work, even if I haven't achieved anything great! It's not fair to me to fire me like this!"
"Keeping you around to continue ruining the reputation of our car city, isn't that unfair to the car city?" Zhuang Keluo pointed out bluntly, "And it's also unfair to my husband!"
She continued, "If you want to stay, ask my husband! If he says you can stay, then you can stay."
Without hesitation, Gu Zhide quickly begged Lu Chen.
Lu Chen chuckled. He didn't take this kind of person seriously at all. Besides, he had already taught him a lesson, and now he was terrified enough to never dare to do it again. He looked at the general manager and said calmly, "Mr. Hu, it's nothing, it's just that some of your subordinates do have some issues with their manners. Yes, I believe some people come here not to buy a car, but just to watch the show or because they're bored. But we can't neglect our customers because of that, can we? Think of a way to balance things out!"
Hu Hanwu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! I understand, thank you for your leniency, I will definitely educate them properly!"
Then, Lu Chen smiled at Lulu, revealing his teeth, "How about it, saleswoman? If you're free, I'd like to try out that Roewe W5. Can you let me take it for a test drive?"
Lulu quickly said, "Sure, sure! Sir, let's go test drive it now!"
Lu Chen was about to leave when a surprised Zhuang Kelu grabbed him, saying, "Brother Chen, why are you still going to test drive those low-end cars worth a few hundred thousand? You can choose any of these cars!"
As she spoke, she gestured towards the dozen or so luxury cars still parked around.
Lu Chen said calmly, "Miss Zhuang, right? Please remember, if you want to be my friend, no problem. To be honest, I quite enjoyed it when you held my arm. You kept calling me 'your man,' which I found abrupt, but I can understand that you like me. However, such a grand gesture, giving me a luxury car, is too much for me. If you consider me a friend, take the car! Don't you think it's an insult to a man?"
He spoke with an air of righteous indignation.
Indeed, Lu Chen liked being liked by beautiful women, and he liked receiving gifts from them, but a luxury car worth millions changed the tone, making him very disliked it.
Zhuang Keluo listened, stunned, then her eyes shone with joy. She waved her hand and shouted, "Drive it away! Drive it away right now! My man is a real man, he doesn't want a car I give him, he wants to earn it himself!"
As she spoke, she happily reached for Lu Chen's arm, but he quickly dodged her.
In the end, Lu Chen still bought the Roewe W5. He test drove it, so he bought it! However, he enjoyed royal treatment, with tea and snacks served, and someone accompanying him on the test drive. And they were all beautiful women! Of course, Miss Zhuang was undoubtedly the most beautiful.
Moreover, buying the car came with free insurance, a license plate, and a gift package. At the end, as an apology, they even offered a 30% discount. The car dealership had a license plate processing office certified by the vehicle management office, so they expedited the process, and it was done in no time.
After calculating, the Roewe W5, valued at 150,000 yuan, plus insurance, registration, and other miscellaneous fees, would probably cost 180,000 yuan. In the end, he settled on 130,000 yuan.
Lu Chen figured the car dealership wouldn't make much profit on this car, but he still accepted it without hesitation. After all, he had saved Zhuang Keluo's life yesterday, so it was perfectly acceptable as a token of gratitude.
As for accepting a luxury car worth millions, Lu Chen felt that was a big problem. That was a matter of principle.
After everything was settled, it was almost 1 p.m. When Lu Chen drove out, Zhuang Keluo was still sitting beside him, as if it were her due.
"Let's go, bought the car! Let's go eat!"
Lu Chen was taken aback: "You're coming with me?"
"Of course!" Zhuang Keluo said matter-of-factly, "Let's go eat together!"
Lu Chen sighed, tacitly agreeing. Actually, he had quite a few questions for Zhuang Keluo. The two went to a simple, unpretentious tea restaurant for a meal. Lu Chen inquired about his business, asking Zhuang Keluo how she had found out who he was and where he worked so quickly!
The shrewd Zhuang Keluo, of course, wouldn't tell the truth. Instead, she asked Lu Chen if he was unaware of the Zhuang family's business scope.
Lu Chen genuinely didn't know. He only knew that the Shangguan family's Flying Eagle Group had businesses in catering, tourism, real estate, and mineral resources, among others. He was unfamiliar with the other three major families.
Zhuang Keluo explained that the Zhuang family's Huaihai Group primarily operated in two sectors: modern business, namely machinery manufacturing and the related automotive industry; and traditional business, information gathering.
This information was essentially intelligence, mainly various commercial and financial information, and secondarily, information on people and events. In short, the Huaihai Group possessed comprehensive information on several counties and cities surrounding Yunzhou City, which was undoubtedly inseparable from its powerful network of connections. Even the police, when encountering suspects or witnesses they couldn't find, would seek help from the Huaihai Group.
So, finding Lu Chen isn't difficult at all?
This made Lu Chen break out in a cold sweat. If Wan Qian sent someone to Yunzhou City or even Fuhai Province to inquire with the people at Huaihai Group, wouldn't they easily find out where he was?
Hopefully, that tigress will never find this place.
Lu Chen couldn't help but ask, "Then, you must have some kind of detective agency, right?"
Zhuang Keluo nodded: "Of course, our family's detective agency is a well-established brand!"
Lu Chen nodded, speechless for a moment, but in his heart, he believed Zhuang Keluo. With such a powerful group, finding someone would be easy.
"Hey!" Zhuang Keluo suddenly blushed and said, "Okay, I'll officially tell you, it's not because you saved me, but because of the heroic figure you showed when you saved me, which deeply moved me. I feel that the man I'm looking for in this life is you! Brother Chen, can you be my boyfriend?"
Okay, this great Miss Zhuang has started poaching.
Lu Chen glanced at her. Actually, Zhuang Keluo was quite a beautiful girl. She had a slender figure, and while her breasts weren't large, they were full and firm. Her pert buttocks looked very bouncy. Her appearance was undeniably alluring, with a touch of wildness that was enough to captivate any man.
If Shangguan Bei was an angel, then Zhuang Keluo was an elf.
Especially when she gazed at Lu Chen with those captivating eyes, it stirred his heart.
However, Lu Chen was still untamed. Or rather, no woman had yet truly been able to subdue him and make him her boyfriend. So, Lu Chen shrugged and said, "I was saying, Xiao Luo..."
Zhuang Keluo immediately corrected him, "Call me Luo Luo! Everyone I like has to call me Luo Luo!"
"Okay!" Lu Chen sighed helplessly, "Luo Luo, I'm not rejecting you, but this is happening too fast, it's not good! You should be more reserved. Asking me to be your boyfriend so openly could cause two problems!"
"Tell me!" Zhuang Keluo blinked curiously.
Lu Chen said seriously, "First, I'll think you're too impulsive and casual. Saying you like me after only knowing me for two days might scare me away; second, even if you like a man, you can't be so quick to confess your feelings, otherwise, he might not cherish you, understand?"
Zhuang Keluo silently lowered her head, and after a long while, pouted and said, "I understand, but... I'm afraid another woman will beat me to it, so I..."
She wasn't telling the truth again.
The truth should be: I'm going to compete with that brat Shangguan Bei for you, of course I have to confess my love quickly!
"Alright, alright!" Lu Chen touched his nose and said, "Then let's start as friends, okay?"
As he spoke, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
He hadn't expected his charm to be so great. The daughters of two prominent families in Yunzhou City were both smitten with him. While this was a good thing, it also seemed like a troublesome matter. Based on Lu Chen's experience, it was best not to mess with these wealthy heiresses; they were extremely troublesome and could easily hinder his womanizing plans.
If he wanted to woo a girl, he should look for someone like Dong Qingqing or Liu Li, even if they were a bit older than him.
A true man has things he should and shouldn't do. It's best to keep your distance from wealthy heiresses; but with girls from ordinary families, as long as they're pretty and sexy, you can pursue them.
