Chapter 284 It's Him Again

"Qin Chao, tidy up and come with me to buy a car." In the office, Li Xue picked up the coat hanging on the wall and said to Qin Chao.

"What, Director Li, are you finally buying a car?" Qin Chao lifted his head from the vegetable-stealing game and looked at his beautiful female boss.

"Yeah, last time I took President Xin's order, I got a lot of bonus," Li Xue said to Qin Chao, "I thought about it and decided it's better to buy a car. It'll help us when we meet with other clients and give us a better image."

"Bonus!" Mentioning money always made Qin Chao's eyes turn red. "How much did you get and is there any for me?"

"You helped me a lot, of course you'll get a share." Li Xue found Qin Chao's eager expression both amusing and strange.

Looking at Qin Chao, she didn't think he was someone who needed money. He could easily borrow a Mercedes from any of his friends. If it was an ordinary person, who would have that kind of influence?

But why did he act like he was so short on money?

This man was too strange. Li Xue had been in the business world for many years and thought she had seen it all. She could usually tell what a man was thinking and what kind of person he was at a glance.

But this guy in front of her was different. He looked like a careless little hooligan, but when he got serious, he made women feel very secure.

The only thing that Li Xue was dissatisfied with was that he talked too much. He always made jokes that made her blush secretly.

"How much?" Qin Chao didn't know that Li Xue was thinking about him, he had a great ambition to earn five million in a year and was naturally very concerned about money.

"It's not much, your bonus is five thousand. Register your bank card and it will be transferred to your account later." Li Xue said.

Qin Chao's face fell. "What? Only five thousand?"

Five thousand yuan, compared to five million, seemed to be lacking three zeros! Xin, with such a big order, how could he only make so little money?

"You're just an assistant, so your percentage of the profits is small," Li Xue seemed to see through Qin Chao's thoughts and said to him, "But if you need money, I can lend you the money I used to buy my car."

"Oh, no need!" Qin Chao waved his hand. Compared to the five million, a few hundred thousand was nothing. Qin Chao calculated in his mind that even if he worked hard to earn money, he probably wouldn't be able to make half a million in a year.

It seemed that he needed to think of other ways.

He actually refused her help? Li Xue could tell that Qin Chao was a man who valued his face. So, she said, "Don't worry, I'll charge you interest for the money I lend you. You can repay me every month with 0.02% interest."

"Thank you for your kindness, Ms. Li," Qin Chao knew that Li Xue was trying to help him, but he couldn't borrow the five million. He had to earn it with his own two hands.

Besides, Qin Chao didn't like this kind of opportunistic approach. He was a cultivator, did he have to rely on a woman's money to prove himself to others?

"I don't need money for now, I'll need it in a year."

"In a year?" Li Xue was confused.

"Uh, Ms. Li, let's not talk about this. Let's go buy a car."

After packing up, the two of them left the office.

The elevator had been fixed, but Li Xue was still a little scared and hugged Qin Chao's arm tightly.

At this moment, she looked like a little girl, making people want to love and cherish her.

But when the elevator reached the first floor, Li Xue returned to her strong woman appearance and let go of Qin Chao, walking ahead with a cold expression.

Sigh, it's really hard to be a woman like Ms. Li, it's exhausting.

Qin Chao followed her, admiring Li Xue's beautiful figure while feeling emotional.

The two of them walked to a nearby 4S shop.

As two seemingly white-collar individuals entered the shop, a male clerk immediately walked over, especially when he saw Li Xue, his eyes visibly lit up.

"Are you looking to buy a car? May I ask what kind of car you are interested in? In our shop, we offer international brands such as Toyota, Honda, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and more."

"Do you have Chery?" Qin Chao thought that this domestic car was not bad, so he asked casually.

"Sorry, we do not deal with this kind of domestic car," the male clerk shook his head and then looked at Qin Chao with some disdain, turning to Li Xue and saying, "These domestic cars cannot guarantee quality. And from what I can see of this young lady's temperament, she should be a company manager level. Driving a domestic car would not match your status."

Qin Chao and Li Xue glanced at each other, secretly thinking that this male clerk had quite a sharp eye, being able to discern Li Xue's identity. However, Qin Chao felt very unhappy with the way he belittled domestic cars.

"Miss, we have the latest Volvo S80L here, which is very suitable for a woman of your temperament to drive. You can come with me to take a look," the male clerk said.

"Volvo?" Li Xue shook her head. "It doesn't seem possible. I didn't bring that much money."

Li Xue's bonus this time was only 70,000 yuan. Combined with her own savings, she brought out 200,000 yuan. The Volvo S80L was a car worth around four to five hundred thousand yuan, which she could not afford.

"I see," the male clerk's enthusiasm waned when he heard that Li Xue didn't bring much money. "You can take your time and see which car you like, and then let me know."

After speaking, he turned around and left.

Anyway, these two people couldn't afford any good cars, and his commission wouldn't be much. As an excellent salesman, this male clerk knew which customers to be enthusiastic with and which customers to ignore.

"Damn, this salesman is too good," Qin Chao couldn't help but touch his nose and say, "He doesn't look like a car salesman at all, but rather more domineering than someone buying a car."

"Forget it, let's look for ourselves," Li Xue knew that if Qin Chao got angry, that male clerk would definitely suffer. But she mainly came out to buy a means of transportation, and didn't want Qin Chao to make a big deal out of it.

"If you two are buying a car, I can give you some recommendations." 

At this moment, a female sales clerk approached. She seemed to be a new employee, and some of the older staff next to her were pointing and laughing at her.

"Look, there she goes again."

"Hmph, this new girl can only pick up customers that nobody else wants."

"She's obviously new, she doesn't even know who the big clients are."

Qin Chao glanced at the name tag on the female clerk's chest and found that her name was Li Mingwei. Although she wasn't an absolute beauty, she was quite remarkable. After all, she was buying a car, so her sensory experience had to be comfortable for others.

What caught Qin Chao's attention the most was her eyes, which seemed to speak.

"Let me ask, what kind of car can 150,000 yuan buy?"

"If miss just wants to buy an affordable and cheap commuting tool, I recommend the BYD F6. The high-end model is priced at only 160,000 yuan. But if miss is more concerned about outward appearance, then I recommend buying the Mazda 6 or the Accord 2.0L. However, the price is slightly higher. The lowest configuration of both models is around 180,000 yuan."

"I see..." Li Xue nodded. She didn't know much about cars and didn't know what to buy for a moment.

"What about the Mazda 3?" Qin Chao knew more about these things, so he asked, "The high-end Mazda 3 is only around 170,000 yuan, and its performance isn't much different from the 6."

"This sir knows about cars," Li Mingwei smiled, and her smile was particularly attractive, "But the Mazda 3 is more compact in appearance. If this beautiful lady were to drive it, it might not look very good. Also, the Mazda 6 has a red one that I think is very suitable for women to drive."

"Okay, I have 180,000 yuan here. Can you take me to see the car and help me configure it within this budget?" Li Xue was quite decisive. Since the other party had recommended it and Qin Chao was there with her, she would just go ahead and buy it.

"Okay, please follow me." Li Mingwei led the two of them to a car, then opened the door and said, "This is the Mazda 6. You can get in and try it first. I can introduce more details to you later."

"It's okay, you can help us configure it. We'll just pay for it directly."

As the Mazda 6 pulled up, Qin Chao recognized it and waved at Li Mingwei.

"Alright, sir. Please wait a moment," said Li Mingwei in response.

He nodded at Qin Chao and Li Xue before going to handle the paperwork.

"I think it's pretty good," Li Xue said from the car. "Actually, I used to drive a Volvo S80L, but I sold it and gave all the money to my ex-husband's grandfather. When he lost a lot of money gambling, I didn't know how else to repay him."

"Regardless, you've finally gotten rid of it," Qin Chao comforted her.

Just then, the male store attendant who had greeted them led a couple in fur coats past them.

"Right this way, sirs. We just got in the new BMW 5 Series, which would be perfect for this beautiful lady to drive!"

"The new BMW 5 Series costs over 700,000 yuan. They sure have money," Qin Chao sneered, glancing outside.

As he did so, he couldn't help but pause.

The young man in black mink standing outside was someone he actually knew.

Wasn't he Li Qiang, the eldest son of the Li family?

He hadn't expected this guy to be buying a car too, let alone dressed in black mink.

Fur coats were quite popular among the upper class in the north.

Especially someone like Li Qiang, a rich second-generation who had relied on expensive clothing to enhance his appearance.

Unlike his younger brother Li Chao, who worked as a secretary for the Municipal Party Committee and had studied abroad for a long time, Li Qiang had been infamous since middle school for forcing himself on a pretty classmate and nearly getting expelled. If it hadn't been for his father's intervention, his reputation would have been ruined long ago.

In high school, he had even gotten several girls pregnant. He didn't make it into university, and under his father's arrangements, he attended a police academy. During his schooling, he indulged in womanizing and fighting, living a carefree life.
