Gu Wanrong had gotten her driver’s license during the summer vacation before her senior year of high school. After getting her license, she had driven a few times, and even after her transmigration, she hadn’t forgotten how to drive.
After arriving at the driving school, she signed up for the most expensive private lessons. After a day of practice, she became familiar with driving. Under the guidance of her instructor, she paid extra to take her driving test at the examination center and quickly obtained her license.
At the entrance of her residential complex, Gu Wanrong hailed a taxi.
“Master, take me to Xindu District Auto City.” After getting in and settling down, Gu Wanrong reported the address and lowered her head to play on her phone.
When she was young, Gu Wanrong had only heard of BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Later, she learned about other luxury car brands such as Porsche, Maybach, and Rolls-Royce.
Considering that she had driven only a handful of times, she knew that a new driver is bound to have bumps and scrapes. If her first car was a Maybach, even though she had the money, she would still be heartbroken if she scratched it.
So Gu Wanrong decided to buy a BMW. A BMW wasn’t cheap, but it wasn’t expensive for her either. She could choose a high-end model and not worry about scratches.
The driver had been quiet since Gu Wanrong got in. When they arrived at their destination, he spoke for the first time, “Miss, you’ve arrived at the auto city.”
Gu Wanrong messaged her previously contacted salesperson, He Jin, to let him know she had arrived, paid the fare, and got out of the car.
He Jin, the BMW salesperson she had contacted, came out of the 4S store and stood at the entrance of the auto city. Seeing Gu Wanrong get out of the car, he quickly and enthusiastically greeted her.
“Ms. Gu, hello. The BMW showroom is this way.”
He Jin thoughtfully led Gu Wanrong into the showroom.
“Ms. Gu, which model are you interested in?”
He Jin led Gu Wanrong around, and she casually looked at several cars without specifying any particular model.
“Introduce me to a few models suitable for women,” Gu Wanrong asked He Jin. “I usually need to carry passengers, so I prefer a five-seater.”
“Like this BMW Mini, the appearance is very cute and popular among women who come to see cars at BMW; there are also the popular 325, 525, M5, and M8 over here.” He Jin showed Gu Wanrong the models he mentioned.
He Jin opened the passenger door for Gu Wanrong. After she sat down, he went around to the driver’s side, got in, and gave a detailed introduction of the interior decoration and functions.
After seeing several models, Gu Wanrong liked the M8 four-door sedan the most. He Jin took her for a test drive, and they returned shortly.
“How is it, Ms. Gu? Do you like this M8?” He Jin asked.
“I like it very much.” Gu Wanrong nodded directly to express her liking for the M8.
“Ms. Gu, this M8 four-door sedan is priced at [price omitted], and purchasing now entitles you to a five-year, 100,000-kilometer oil change maintenance package. The down payment is, and your monthly payment is only , and you can get it.” Seeing Gu Wanrong’s satisfied expression, He Jin shared their newly launched loan plan to close the deal.
“Xiaozong, I’ll come looking for you in this car later.” A woman with an excellent figure came over with a middle-aged man, her voice slightly affected.
“Xiao Ai, it’s not suitable for girls to drive sports cars. The Mini you saw earlier is more suitable for you.” The middle-aged man, Xiao Quanfu, had thinning hair, was of average height and build, and the woman’s arm was rubbing against his chest.
The woman’s nickname was Alice; the man called her Xiao Ai affectionately.
As they walked over, they heard He Jin tell Gu Wanrong the price of the M8. Alice’s eyes lit up, and she pointed at the car and asked the man to buy it. Xiao Quanfu’s eyes darted around as he used the excuse that it wasn’t suitable and tried to leave.
The salesperson who had been with them stood behind them, gave Gu Wanrong and He Jin an apologetic smile, implying that she hadn’t intentionally brought this couple over to disturb their car purchase.
“Xiaozong, look, this little girl is about to buy it; can’t you buy me one?” Alice secretly rolled her eyes, quickly concealing her impatience, pointed at Gu Wanrong, and acted cute while shaking Xiao Quanfu’s arm.
Hearing Alice say that Gu Wanrong, a young girl, was about to buy it, while he, called “Xiaozong,” wasn’t buying anything, Xiao Quanfu felt embarrassed.
“Little beauty, a girl should act like a girl. Sports cars are for men. I’m advising you to look at that Mini over there. It’s enough for a girl.” Xiao Quanfu, feeling embarrassed, saw that Gu Wanrong looked seventeen or eighteen years old, and spoke in a tone of concern, advising her to buy the BMW Mini.
“I suggest, little beauty, you spend more money on dressing yourself up. Looking gentle and beautiful is more appealing and makes finding a boyfriend easier than driving a sports car. Look at the watch you’re wearing; it’s dazzling and doesn’t suit you. A red string with a golden Buddha is more suitable. You need to know that watches and sports cars are things for men; girls shouldn’t play with them, it’s inappropriate…”
Gu Wanrong, a social anxiety sufferer, simply ignored Xiao Quanfu. However, Xiao Quanfu continued, his patronizing remarks making Gu Wanrong unbearable. She suddenly stopped being socially anxious.
“This bulging belly of yours suits this tight-fitting suit, but the shoes are badly chosen, the heels are too low, even the beauty next to you wears flats. I’m not getting married. Have you heard of the Black Horse Club? I’ll pay for a male escort every day, and my life will be sweet.”
Gu Wanrong satirized him while rotating her Vacheron Constantin watch, worth over seventy thousand yuan. The diamonds encrusted around the dial glittered as it turned, her eyes sweeping from Xiao Quanfu’s head to his shoe heels.
He Jin managed to suppress his smile, but the salesperson standing behind Xiao Quanfu laughed silently, her shoulders shaking. Alice also curled her lips into a smile before quickly hiding it.
“Such an ill-mannered brat, a watch is something to show off, I wonder which big brother or sugar daddy gave it to you.” Xiao Quanfu’s large belly shook with anger, and he spoke without thinking.
“Indeed, people with dirty minds see dirt everywhere.” Gu Wanrong acted as if Xiao Quanfu was visually offensive and said this to He Jin beside her. Then, she curiously asked Alice, “Sister, did you have so many watches that you were spoiled for choice, so you didn’t bring one?”
Alice secretly pouted. Xiao Quanfu, the stingy man, would never buy her such an expensive watch. Before she could speak, Xiao Quanfu jumped up in anger.
“How expensive are watches? Are they more expensive than cars? I came here to buy a car!”
“Oh, was the sister going to buy this M8? Why didn’t this Xiaozong buy it? Disappointing a beauty isn’t gentlemanly behavior.” Xiao Quanfu’s face became increasingly red, while Gu Wanrong remained calm.
“You!” Xiao Quanfu, unable to argue with Gu Wanrong, made a move to slap her. He Jin and the other salespersons nearby quickly stopped him.
Salespeople are sharp-eyed. They didn’t know the exact price of the Vacheron Constantin watch on Gu Wanrong’s wrist, but it was definitely worth hundreds of thousands. Someone who could wear a watch worth hundreds of thousands of yuan clearly had the means to buy the M8 and was a big customer.
The Xiaozong who came with his mistress hesitated when he heard the price, clearly unable to afford it. When Xiao Quanfu tried to hit Gu Wanrong, the salespersons, without hesitation, pulled Xiao Quanfu away and stood in front of Gu Wanrong protectively.
“Xiao Ai, let’s go. We won’t buy a car in this place where people judge others by their appearance.” After being pulled away, Xiao Quanfu clearly understood that the salespersons valued Gu Wanrong more, and his anger grew.
“Xiaozong, you’re not buying me one?” Alice stood still.
“Not buying it, let’s go!” Xiao Quanfu said firmly.
“Then go ahead, I won’t go back with you, we’re breaking up.” Alice looked at her luxurious manicure with a languid expression, no longer acting coy and spoke coldly.
“You, you b*tch, hmph!” Xiao Quanfu, noticing the onlookers, felt embarrassed to continue and left hastily, his face flushed.
Since she started dating Xiao Quanfu, he hadn’t bought her anything expensive; all his gifts added up to only two or three thousand yuan. She had been nagging him for months, and he finally agreed to buy her a car today, but they didn’t buy it; she wondered how many months it would be before he took her out to buy something again.
If it weren’t for the previous sponsor’s wife being such a shrew, causing a huge scene, the generous sponsor wouldn’t have broken up with her, and she wouldn’t have ended up with the stingy Xiao Quanfu.
Rather than continue entangled with the lecherous and miserly Xiao Quanfu, she might as well break up with him and find the next one.
Seeing the onlookers disperse, Alice walked up to Gu Wanrong. “Little sister, if I had money, I’d do what you did and get a male escort every day.”
She knew that Gu Wanrong’s words were said in anger, but she still teased her with a low, melodious voice.
Before Alice finished speaking, Gu Wanrong’s face turned red. A social anxiety sufferer is still a social anxiety sufferer.
After seeing Gu Wanrong’s flushed face, Alice left contentedly, swaying her hips.
