Chapter 527 - 526: Qin Sitong Shops for a Car

——SitongNotThatTong: Confirmed. She’s really the landlady for the South Suburb Auto Museum City. Just met with the owner.

Yun Zijin rarely mentioned what properties she owned in front of her friends.

Now that they’d discovered the South Suburb Auto Museum City was also her turf, everyone in the group chat was clamoring for Yun Zijin to treat them.

——ExquisiteYaoyao: Nope! Hating on the rich is human nature. We’re not letting this slide without a free meal and some milk tea!

——Tu Tutu Tu: I second that.

——SitongNotThatTong: +1

——Qingqing Zijing: Fine! You guys pick the place, I’ll pay.

Seeing the messages in the group chat, a small smile played on Yun Zijin’s lips as she gave in to their demands.

It was just one meal. Yun Zijin certainly had that much money.

When Lu Yunque came out after his shower, he saw Yun Zijin lying on her side on the chaise lounge. She was holding her phone, smiling as she replied to a message, so he walked over to her.

Yun Zijin suddenly sensed a shadow looming over her. She instinctively looked up and saw Lu Yunque’s handsome face.

"Do you ever make a sound when you walk?"

"You were just so engrossed in your phone that you didn’t notice me."

Lu Yunque really wanted to ask Yun Zijin who she was messaging, but he knew that even in a relationship, both people should give each other some personal space.

So, Lu Yunque held back and didn’t ask the question on his mind.

Yun Zijin didn’t think her chat with Qin Sitong and the others was anything important, so she didn’t mention it to Lu Yunque.

「South Suburb Auto Museum City.」

Qin Sitong took a taxi here with her parents. Upon entering the Auto Museum City, she gave Wu Yutang a call.

Wu Yutang had already received a call from Yun Zijin, who told him that a friend of hers wanted to buy a car. She’d asked him to help with recommendations and advice, adding that a discount would be even better.

Although the South Suburb Auto Museum City wasn’t Yun Zijin’s business, there was no getting around the fact that she was his landlady.

Yun Zijin rarely asked him for anything. This time, it was just because her friend was buying a car. Even if he had to offer a steeper discount, it would still boost his Auto Museum City’s sales figures.

It was a chance to help Yun Zijin, and all it would cost him was a small discount, so Wu Yutang had readily agreed on the spot.

Seeing Qin Sitong and her parents today, Wu Yutang took one look at their clothes and mannerisms and immediately got a sense of their background.

Thinking of Yun Zijin’s immense wealth and then seeing Qin Sitong’s family, Wu Yutang privately guessed that she must be one of Yun Zijin’s old classmates.

’Otherwise, someone with Yun Zijin’s fortune would never cross paths with a working-class family like this.’

"Hello, I’m Wu Yutang, the owner of the Auto Museum City. You must be the friends Miss Yun mentioned."

"What kind of car are you looking for, and do you have a budget in mind?"

This was all necessary information to clarify upfront and wasn’t considered prying into a customer’s private affairs.

Otherwise, without knowing anything, he couldn’t just run around like a headless chicken showing them random models.

"Yes, I’ve done some research. It’ll mainly be for me to drive. I’m looking for an SUV, with a budget under 500,000."

Qin Sitong had started looking at cars a long time ago, so she was already familiar with some of the models.

After looking at so many, she still preferred SUVs. They had more cargo space, and there was enough room for her parents when they went out together.

Besides, there were plenty of SUV models well-suited for female drivers.

’After all, I’m not like Yun Zijin,’ she thought. ’She has more cars in her garage than she can count and even has separate cars for her bodyguards when she goes out.’

Qin Sitong had a very clear understanding of her own financial situation.

’Since I’m buying a car, I should get the most practical one possible.’

"Understood. This way, please."

Wu Yutang led the family into the BMW dealership.

Entry-level BMWs weren’t actually that expensive, but everyone recognized the logo. It was a common choice for people who had a little money and wanted to keep up appearances.

After all, not everyone is an expert on car brands, models, and their exact prices.

The average person just sees a BMW or Mercedes-Benz logo and immediately assumes the driver is wealthy.

Qin Sitong looked around for a bit before test-driving a BMW 5 Series.

The car was nice to drive, but the price was a little over Qin Sitong’s budget.

"Let’s keep looking. If I don’t find anything better, I’ll come back for this one."

’I should shop around first. Otherwise, I might end up overpaying.’

"Alright, then let’s go check out some other dealerships."

After Wu Yutang and Qin Sitong’s family left, the salespeople at the BMW dealership gathered together.

"If I saw that correctly, wasn’t that the big boss of the entire Auto Museum City?"

"That’s right, that’s him! I had the good fortune of seeing him once before, and I made sure to burn his face into my memory. I was terrified I’d run into him one day, not recognize him, and accidentally cause offense."

The amount of trouble you can get into often depends on how seriously you take your job.

"What kind of connections does that family have? To think Mr. Wu himself would personally show them around."

"But they were only looking at cars under 500,000, and they were still hesitant about buying. They don’t look like they have powerful connections at all."

As the salespeople gathered, all sorts of gossip started to fly.

Qin Sitong and her parents had no idea that, because Wu Yutang was personally escorting them, their family’s background had become an unsolved mystery throughout the Auto Museum City.

Soon, Wu Yutang led them into the Mercedes-Benz dealership.

However, after looking around, Qin Sitong didn’t feel any of the models were a good fit for her.

Mercedes-Benz models were primarily designed with a stately, business-like aesthetic. It was a style that might suit Mr. Qin, but Qin Sitong herself wasn’t a fan.

So, without even bothering with a test drive, Wu Yutang led the family out of the dealership.

And once again, a group of salespeople gathered to gossip.

Meanwhile, Qin Sitong was starting to feel a little embarrassed.

’Wu Yutang is only accompanying us to look at cars as a favor to Zijin.’

’Even though he agreed to it, it still feels awkward making him run around with us for this long.’

"Don’t worry about it. If you haven’t seen anything you like, there are still other options."

"With all the brands here in the Auto Museum City, you’re bound to find something you love."

Seeing that Qin Sitong looked a little uncomfortable, Wu Yutang quickly spoke up to ease the tension.

He personally didn’t mind accompanying them to a few different dealerships at all.

Before opening the Auto Museum City, he had started out in sales himself. He had seen every type of customer imaginable, and people like Qin Sitong and her family were already considered excellent clients.

Besides, since they were referred by an acquaintance, he knew they were serious buyers, not just window-shoppers.

Therefore, Wu Yutang had no complaints about accompanying them to browse a few more brands.

As a salesman, the most important thing is to GET the customer’s requirements and help them find the car that’s perfect for them.

"Thank you."

"Don’t mention it. Any friend of President Yun’s is a friend of mine. There’s no need to be so formal."

Wu Yutang would never dream of neglecting someone Yun Zijin had personally called him to take special care of.

He had come to show them around personally precisely because he was afraid his subordinates wouldn’t grasp the importance of the situation and end up offending his guests.

Looking at the situation now, he felt his trip here today had been well worth it.

"The Audi dealership is right up ahead. We can take a look there."

Audi also had quite a few models suitable for female drivers, so Wu Yutang personally recommended checking it out.
