After hanging up the phone, Si Lingxi and Shen Ying looked at Lu Zheng, their eyes full of questions.
“Do you know about full-armour combat?” Lu Zheng asked.
Both women shook their heads together.
So Lu Zheng explained full-armour combat to them and even showed them a video of himself taking part in it.
Si Lingxi was speechless. Shen Ying burst out laughing. “Lu Lang, you already have the five-coloured dragon-scale armour and the true-dragon concealed-head sword that the Jade Dragon King gave you. Why do you still play this make-believe game? If you really want to fight, the ghost kings of the Netherworld, the great demons in the mountains and wilds, or even the generals of Lingbei Dao could all spar with you.”
Lu Zheng suppressed the feeling of social death and forcibly saved face. “How can the affairs of cultivators be called make-believe? It is a kind of pleasure in crushing novices. You would not understand…”
“Is it not just a max-level expert bullying the newbie village? We have been accused of the same when we teamed up to play Honour of Kings. How could we not understand?” Shen Ying giggled, draping herself over Lu Zheng, her hands beginning to wander. “How did I never notice before that Lu Lang has this kind of wicked hobby?”
“How not? Have you forgotten how he plays chess with Zhu Yushan?” Si Lingxi said, shaking her head from the side.
“Oh yes! No matter who Lu Lang plays chess against, he always wins by just one and a half points.” Shen Ying laughed. “Lu Lang, how do you manage not to laugh?”
“Cough cough!” Lu Zheng felt as though he was being stripped bare, so he straightened his neck. “The match between Wu Yue Club and Gaul’s Saint Lion Club, do you want to go and watch?”
“If you want to go, we will go. When is it?” Shen Ying asked.
“The weekend, at the stadium,” Lu Zheng said.
“The weekend? That is still days away!”
Lu Zheng nodded. “So there is no hurry. We have nothing today. How about we go and buy a car instead?”
“Buying a car is not urgent either.” Shen Ying’s eyes gleamed. She bit her lower lip lightly. “I noticed that little sister Lin Wan’s wardrobe has lots of strange clothes in it…”
Si Lingxi curled her lip. “If your hands were not already moving, I might believe you truly do not know what those clothes are for.”
“Hee hee!” Shen Ying giggled, licking her lips at Lu Zheng. “I do not care. I want to try them too. Lu Lang, do you want to watch?”
Lu Zheng nodded. “Yes!”
…
In the afternoon, after fully satisfying Shen Ying and promising Si Lingxi the whole evening, Lu Zheng was supported by the two now fully dressed women as they left the house, hailed a taxi, and arrived at the car dealership district in northwest Haicheng.
The moment they stepped out, the cluster of sales staff at the entrance lit up.
Good heavens, one man with a beauty on each arm, bringing two stunning women to the dealership district, no assistants in tow, and arriving by taxi. This was no influencer shooting videos; this was a genuine rich second-generation bringing beauties to buy a car.
Business had arrived!
“Sir, the latest Porsche model has just arrived. You can collect it as soon as tomorrow!”
“Beautiful ladies, the Mercedes coupe would suit you perfectly. Would you like to take a test drive?”
“Sir, this year’s new Audi R8 is in the showroom. We offer free colour-change painting!”
These sales staff were all sharp. Though Lu Zheng and the two women’s clothing was not top-tier luxury, their aura of aloof confidence was unmistakable, impossible to fake.
Lu Zheng waved them off, led the two women past the crowd, then transmitted to them, “How about I buy each of you a car? Driving is simple enough for you. I can get driving licences for you through the system. You can just report them lost later.”
Si Lingxi shook her head. “We do not need cars when we go out alone.”
“Exactly!” Shen Ying nodded. “We only need one when we go out together, so it is not too conspicuous. We do not go anywhere by ourselves.”
Thanks to the internet, Si Lingxi and Shen Ying could see anything they wanted online. They had no interest in natural scenery. Shopping was naturally done with Lu Zheng. So they had no need to go out alone.
“Fine. We will talk about it when you need one. Cars can be bought anytime anyway.” Lu Zheng did not mind. With the global economy slowing, it used to be people waiting for cars. Now cars waited for people, and they were cheaper too.
He supported domestic brands for daily use, but enjoyment could not be neglected. So Lu Zheng took the two women straight to the GAC Trumpchi 4S dealership. Upon entering, he pointed at an M8. “Top-spec M8 Master series. How much?”
“Hello, sir! Please take a seat!” The salesgirl at the door welcomed them eagerly, hurriedly ushering the three to seats. “I will calculate it for you right away! I will definitely give you the best discount!”
Lu Zheng waved his hand, exuding wealth. “Use all your store’s recommended top-level fittings and the most comprehensive after-sales service. I only want the fastest possible delivery. Tell me now the collection time and the price.”
“Six hundred and sixty thousand. You can collect it today,” the salesgirl said at once. “Number plate extra!”
“Prepare the contract,” Lu Zheng said coolly.
Simple and efficient!
The salesgirl had never seen a customer buy a car like this, as casually as buying a couple of jin of oranges from a roadside stall, leaving only his retreating back.
Was this the realm of a true wealthy daddy?
Her heart raced several beats faster. Once this deal was done, her yearly KPI would be complete. She could relax and wait for the year-end bonus, adding another sum to her family’s savings.
Delightful!
What? Cling to this rich second-generation and live comfortably forever?
Do not be ridiculous. Look at the two breathtaking beauties beside him, perfect in looks, figure, and temperament. Then you would deeply understand that all you could do was earn money.
Though the salesgirl wondered why such a wealthy second-generation did not go to the Mercedes or Porsche flagship stores, she certainly would not ask. Instead, she immediately fetched the contract and had Lu Zheng sign his name.
…
They arrived at the dealership district just past one in the afternoon. Going through the full VVIP channel, by a little past five, a brand-new M8 Master series MPV was delivered fully fuelled, with even the number plate already fitted.
Of course, that plate was charged separately, and it cost more than the car itself.
“Comfortable! This car is far more comfortable than your old one!”
In the second row, Shen Ying stretched her jade legs out fully, activated the spa mode, and gave a lazy stretch.
“How could it be the same?” Lu Zheng said. “This is a seven-seat business MPV, over five metres twenty long. It is designed for space and comfort.”
Not just Shen Ying. Even Lu Zheng now found his old Fengshen increasingly unattractive. To think he had fallen for it at first sight back then.
After a few years, yesterday’s sweetheart had become today’s old cow.
“Let’s go pick up little sister Lin Wan from work,” Shen Ying said with a smile. “Oh, right. Pick up Qingyan first. I bet she is getting impatient.”
Lu Zheng nodded, started the engine. “Let’s go!”
