Chapter 3: Buying a Car

When Jiang Jin arrived at the guesthouse inside the Dragon Science Institute to rest, it was already 1 a.m.

Slumping onto the sofa, Jiang Jin was filled with a multitude of thoughts.

Life, oh life!

In just one night, he had transformed from a frustrated employee into a small-time winner, burdened with a system and nearly ten million in personal wealth.

And by his side was an absolutely stunning bodyguard!

Things he never even dreamed of had come true!

Yet, this was only the beginning. After returning to East City tomorrow, he planned to spend a million right away and take control of the company.

By then, Chen Wei’s expression would surely be priceless.

With this thought, Jiang Jin took out his phone and checked the work group chat.

Chen Wei: "@Jiang Jin, what the hell did you do? Don’t tell me you dragged the company down with you?"

"@Jiang Jin, was your phone confiscated? Can’t contact the outside world?"

Wang Meng: "Holy crap, Jiang Jin really got arrested! Heaven has eyes!"

Ma Weiguo: "Who told Jiang Jin to always oppose Supervisor Chen? He’s just getting his comeuppance!"

Chen Wei: "Damn, if you can talk, say more, hahaha."

Jiang Jin: "@Chen Wei, working with you two idiots is the worst curse I’ve had in eight lifetimes."

Chen Wei: "??? You got released?"

Jiang Jin: (It’s damn 1 a.m., and Chen Wei still isn’t asleep?)

Chen Wei: "Well, officially informing you, Boss Ma already knows you were taken away, you’re fired from the company, hahaha!"

"Oh right, I was the one who told Boss Ma. How do you like that? Hahahaha."

Jiang Jin laughed bitterly. Just as he was about to retort, Chen Wei beat him to it and kicked him out of the group chat.

"Chen Wei, Ma Weiguo, just wait!"

The next morning, after flying back to East City, Jiang Jin and Wu Qingya took a taxi straight to the Four Seasons Hotel.

Wu Qingya had no property in East City, so she would definitely stay at a hotel.

Jiang Jin was long fed up with the terrible rental conditions. Now that he had money, he decided to stay at a hotel as well.

At the hotel front desk, Jiang Jin requested two suites, but the receptionist apologized.

"Sorry, sir, we only have one executive suite left."

Hearing this, Jiang Jin was stunned. He secretly wondered if he had not slipped the receptionist a bribe—how did she end up helping him so effortlessly?

Sadly, Wu Qingya was not his girlfriend; otherwise, he could have smoothly settled for just one room.

At that moment, Wu Qingya suddenly said, "Then just one room is fine."

Jiang Jin turned to look at her in bewilderment.

A cool, aloof beauty voluntarily suggesting only one room? Could she be craving this gentleman’s company?

Not impossible—after all, his nickname was the "Xie Tingfeng of East City."

However, Wu Qingya’s next words shattered his fantasy: "The executive suite has two bedrooms."

(Since Director Liu had instructed her to protect Jiang Jin’s safety, it was most appropriate for them to share one suite.)

With that, Jiang Jin no longer hesitated. "Alright, swipe the card."

When a stunning woman says so, how could he refuse and still be a man?

He immediately swiped his card and checked in.

After entering the suite, Jiang Jin took a brief look around.

His phone vibrated suddenly. He checked it and found many unread messages in the East City University Materials Science Class of ’15 Group Chat.

Zhao Wen: "@Everyone, tonight’s our two-year graduation reunion. Is everyone ready? Bring your family along!"

Sun Kai: "Of course, all set!"

Li Ming: "Ready +1."

Jiang Jin suddenly remembered that tonight was the university reunion.

Out of 24 classmates, 15 had confirmed attendance, and 7 could not make it.

Zhao Wen: "@Jiang Jin, you’re in East City, right? You should come."

Sun Kai: "@Class leader Zhao, you’re even bringing the department’s beauty queen; Jiang Jin definitely won’t come."

Li Ming: "I heard the class leader is going to marry the beauty queen. If I were Jiang Jin, I wouldn’t want to show up either—not wanting to lose face!"

The materials science department’s beauty queen, Yang Xue, had once been Jiang Jin’s girlfriend but was stolen away by Zhao Wen, causing a rift among the three.

Sun Kai and Li Ming were Zhao Wen’s loyal followers. It was obvious to all they were ganging up on Jiang Jin.

Though Zhao Wen was a wealthy second-generation local, even classmates who disliked him couldn’t speak up for Jiang Jin and remained silent.

“Trying to use Yang Xue to put me down?”

Jiang Jin felt stifled. He glanced at Wu Qingya and suddenly had a bold idea.

In terms of looks, figure, and temperament, Wu Qingya completely outclassed Yang Xue.

If he brought Wu Qingya along, wouldn’t Zhao Wen be green with envy?

He briefly explained the situation and nervously asked, "Miss Wu, could you pretend to be my girlfriend?"

Wu Qingya readily agreed, "Sure."

Jiang Jin hadn’t expected such a straightforward response and was momentarily dumbfounded.

Wu Qingya continued, "Director Liu told me to protect you. If you attend the reunion, it’s best that I go along. Pretending to be your girlfriend solves my identity issue."

Only then did Jiang Jin realize the full picture.

He immediately announced in the group chat that he would attend the reunion on time, causing a stir.

After lunch, Jiang Jin and Wu Qingya headed straight to the BMW dealership.

What could one million yuan buy in Jiangnan? Forget about a big house—he didn’t need jewelry or antiques either.

So, after much thought, Qin Ming made a decision that went against tradition—buy a luxury car!

...

"Welcome to Great Earth BMW dealership, sir. How may I assist you today?"

A sweet-looking saleswoman dressed in black professional attire and stockings approached with a smile.

Jiang Jin calmly said, "Show me your in-stock cars priced over one million."

The saleswoman enthusiastically replied, "Sir, currently we have three in-stock models over one million: the black 750Li xDrive V8 Luxury Edition, the black X7 xDrive Executive Luxury Edition, and the orange 840i four-door coupe M Sport Edition. Which do you prefer?"

Jiang Jin inspected the three models and finally chose the orange 840i four-door coupe M Sport Edition. "I like the 840i."

The black cars were indeed imposing, but Qin Ming felt they weren’t suitable for young drivers.

At just over twenty, if funds allowed, one should drive a more flashy, eye-catching car.

Orange was flashy enough, the four-door coupe was sleek, and the looks were top-notch—this was the one.

The saleswoman then asked, "Would you like to test drive it?"

Jiang Jin shook his head without hesitation. "No need, just charge it."

The saleswoman was a bit surprised but nodded. "Alright, please wait a moment."

Though Jiang Jin didn’t mention bargaining, the saleswoman gave him the best discount, with a final price of 1.05 million yuan.

She also arranged small gifts like car covers, window tinting, and floor mats.

When Jiang Jin completed the payment, the saleswoman’s gaze changed completely.

Young, handsome, and wealthy—truly the cream of the crop among men!

Amazing!
