Chapter 1659 - 1656: Looking Down on Others
Xu Wendong slightly furrowed his brow, a hint of displeasure quietly rising between his eyebrows. His gaze was stern, and he responded coldly, "We are here to look at cars, is there a reason this showroom wouldn’t welcome customers?"
Lin Yiren’s face also showed a distinct expression of discontent, secretly astonished in her heart. She hadn’t expected that in today’s society, which advocates equality and inclusiveness, there would still be people who judge others so superficially by their appearance.
The sales personnel, however, didn’t care at all and rolled his eyes in annoyance, saying impatiently, "Alright, alright, I’ll take you to see the cars then." With that, he led them straight to an area with regular family cars.
He then began to introduce the basic configurations and performance parameters of the vehicles in a mechanical and perfunctory manner, speaking so fast it was like a cannonade, with no passion in his voice, as though merely performing a routine task.
Meanwhile, his eyes would occasionally glance towards other finely dressed customers in the showroom, his expression seemingly declaring outright, "People like you are only fit to look at these cheap goods. Don’t even dream of touching luxury cars." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Upon seeing this, Lin Yiren couldn’t help but frown and softly said to Xu Wendong, "I feel like he doesn’t take us seriously, does he think we can’t afford a good car?"
Xu Wendong’s lips slightly curled upward into a faint smile as he gently patted Lin Yiren’s hand, indicating she need not worry, asking her to remain calm.
He turned to the sales personnel and said in a calm but unmistakable tone, "These cars don’t quite meet my requirements. Do you have any higher-end models here, like luxury-brand sedans?"
Upon hearing this, the sales personnel instantly reacted as if he’d heard an absurd joke, grinning to reveal a mouthful of uneven and somewhat yellowed teeth, letting out a sharp, piercing laugh. "Luxury-brand sedans? Do you know how much those cost? Those luxury cars aren’t something people like you can casually inquire about."
"I think you should take a good look at these cost-effective family cars and stop wasting my time here. I don’t have the leisure to mess around with you."
A surge of anger suddenly welled up inside Xu Wendong, like flames burning fiercely in his chest, but with strong self-control, he restrained it, merely saying flatly, "There’s no need for you to worry about whether we can afford them, just introduce them. That’s your duty."
The sales personnel impatiently puckered his lips and muttered, "Simply unaware of the vastness of the heavens and earth, overestimating one’s capabilities."
Nonetheless, under Xu Wendong’s insistence, he reluctantly brought them to the luxury sedan display area.
Upon reaching a Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan, he extended a finger and jabbed it against the car body, his actions extremely rude, saying, "This Mercedes-Benz S-Class is one of the best-selling models in our store, richly configured with exceptional comfort, but the price is pretty steep, over a million yuan just for the base model."
He deliberately emphasized the words "over a million," each syllable seemingly highlighting the high price, then provocatively looked at Xu Wendong with an expression as though blatantly mocking, "You? It’s a joke to think you can afford it! Just look at yourself."
Xu Wendong merely nodded slightly, his expression serene as he slowly circled around the car, examined it carefully, and said, "Yes, this car is not bad."
Then he added, "But, I’d like to see other brands too."
The sales personnel felt even more disdainful toward Xu Wendong, confidently believing he was just putting on a show, clearly unable to afford a purchase, merely clinging to face-saving.
Thus, he again led Xu Wendong and Lin Yiren to a BMW 7 Series sedan, still introducing it with a lukewarm attitude, occasionally spouting a few harsh, sardonic remarks, "Let me tell you, this BMW 7 Series isn’t cheap either. You two could work for a lifetime and still might not afford it, stop having such foolish dreams and face reality sooner."
Just then, a commotion suddenly arose in the showroom.
It turned out to be a middle-aged man dressed in brand-name suits and wearing a large gold chain, swaggering in surrounded by a swarm of sales personnel.
The man’s face was full of flesh, his eyes arrogant and flamboyant, shouting loudly at the sales personnel, "Introduce the best cars in your store to me, I’m feeling good today and plan to buy a few luxury cars, money is no issue."
The sales personnel who’d been attending to Xu Wendong earlier immediately changed demeanor, abandoning Xu Wendong and Lin Yiren as if seeing a meaty bone, rushing up to the middle-aged man with a fawning smile, repeatedly saying, "President Wang, you’ve arrived! This way please, we’ve just received a limited edition Rolls-Royce Shadow. I believe you’ll be interested; it’s simply tailored for you."
Seeing this scene, Lin Yiren was furious, her charming face flushed red, saying, "Wendong, look at his attitude, it’s too much! Utterly snobbish!"
Xu Wendong chuckled, nonchalantly saying, "A large forest harbors all kinds of birds, people like this are everywhere in society; no need to stoop to their level and add to your troubles."
With that, he glanced around, spotting a young female sales standing uncertainly nearby, and beckoned her over.
"May I ask if you need any help?" The young female sales approached, somewhat timidly, her name clearly displayed as Huang Xiaoxian.
From her fresh and youthful face and slightly tense demeanor, it was clear she hadn’t been working long.
Xu Wendong wore a gentle smile, pointing to the two cars behind him, confidently saying, "I want to buy that Mercedes-Benz S-Class and that BMW 7 Series, and I’ll pay by card right now. Can you help me with the formalities?"
Huang Xiaoxian widened her eyes, looking at Xu Wendong in disbelief. She clearly hadn’t expected this young man before her to spend lavishly and buy two executive sedans worth millions all at once.
This sudden situation gave her a dreamlike, pie-from-the-sky feeling, momentarily leaving her a bit at a loss.
She took a deep breath, striving to regain composure, tentatively asking, "Sir, are you sure you want to purchase these two cars?"
Lin Yiren smiled brightly and produced a bank card, "Charge it!"
It was only at this moment.
Huang Xiaoxian confirmed that the two indeed had the ability to purchase, excitedly reaching out both hands to accept the bank card, "I’ll take both of you to the VIP room to rest, and later I’ll help you with the paperwork!"
Just then, the young male sales dashed over, snatching the bank card from Huang Xiaoxian’s hand with a sycophantic smile, "Let me handle the formalities for you esteemed guests instead!"
Lin Yiren chuckled lightly, a playful smile emerging on her face, "Weren’t you looking down on us earlier?"
