Chapter 36: Does the car come with the model?
Zhou Ying nodded toward Jiang Cheng. "Jiang Cheng, are you here for the auto show too?"
"Yeah, just stopped by to take a look. Are you guys crowding around the goddess because you're planning to buy a Ferrari?"
Seeing Zhou Ying's friendly attitude toward Jiang Cheng, Li Xudong's face darkened. "Jiang Cheng, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. This is a ferrari 488, one of the latest models they developed this year. It's also the highest-positioned of the three new models. You think it's a bicycle? You can't just buy it whenever you want."
"As expected of our class monitor. I didn't expect you to know so much about Ferraris," Jiang Cheng said, taking the initiative to praise Li Xudong.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng surprisingly didn't snap back at him, Li Xudong immediately continued to show off his knowledge. "Of course. This ferrari 488 has a 4.9-liter V8 turbo engine."
"This model's output exceeds 640 horsepower, and it hits 100 km/h in just 3 seconds."
"All of its buttons are electronic touch controls, giving it a very futuristic feel... And since the interior options chosen for this car are very high-end, the price after custom interior and taxes is 5.5 million. How about that? Pretty impressive, right?"
"It's indeed not bad. It must have been hard on you, doing so much homework without actually buying the car," Jiang Cheng teased.
Seeing the scene getting more and more chaotic, Zhou Ying glanced toward her manager's direction and said to them with some difficulty, "Sorry everyone, I'm working right now. Can we talk later? It's not great to be crowded here."
Seeing the goddess in a difficult spot, and having just been mocked by Jiang Cheng, Li Xudong immediately started acting tough. "Zhou Ying, actually, I came to the auto show today to see if there are any suitable cars I can buy. After all, I'm about to start university, and my Gaokao results were very ideal—625 points. My parents decided to reward me with a car. Help me introduce this car of yours; if it's suitable, I'll buy it."
"This... I don't really know much. If you want to know about the car's performance and such, you can ask the sales lady over there," Zhou Ying said with an awkward smile.
"Isn't it the same to ask you? We're old classmates, I'm more familiar with you," Li Xudong continued to pester her.
Jiang Cheng let out a sneer and unhesitatingly exposed Li Xudong's intentions.
"Li Xudong, didn't your introduction just now sound pretty detailed? You've already memorized it, so what else is there to learn? If it's suitable, just buy it. What era is this? You still want to use this kind of excuse to chat?"
"Jiang Cheng, I'm talking to Zhou Ying, what does it have to do with you? Buying a car is a big deal; it's not like spending a few bucks, so of course I need to learn more. Why don't you just buy one yourself?"
"Sure. Classmate Zhou, if I buy this car, does it come with the car model?"
Zhou Ying smiled upon hearing this and replied, "Jiang Cheng, I didn't expect you to be so humorous."
"I'm being serious."
Seeing Jiang Cheng flirting with Zhou Ying, Li Xudong's expression grew even gloomier. He spoke up unhappily, "Jiang Cheng, can you stop acting tough? You're affecting Zhou Ying's work."
Just as Li Xudong finished speaking, the Ferrari Male Manager walked over with a dark expression.
He had noticed this area long ago—a few people who looked like students had been crowding around here chatting.
The Male Manager could tell at a glance that Li Xudong and the others were not potential Ferrari customers.
Having so many people crowded here would only affect their sales.
"Zhou Ying, what's with all the chatting during work hours? I'm not paying you to chat here," the Male Manager scolded.
"Yes, sorry Manager, I'll pay attention," Zhou Ying immediately bowed and apologized to the Male Manager cautiously.
She was working here as a part-time car model, earning two thousand yuan a day.
Right now, she really needed this job.
And she hadn't expected to run into her former classmates after coming to Shanghai.
The Male Manager's display of authority in scolding Zhou Ying was also a sideways warning to Jiang Cheng and the others not to crowd around here chatting.
