When the three of them arrived at the 4S dealership, the sales representatives in the store immediately recognized the wealthy mother-daughter duo.
The sales staff eagerly swarmed forward. They all knew exactly how much commission Zhang Ping had earned from selling those two Mercedes-Benz S450L cars last time.
Chu Wanchen knew these salespeople wanted her massive order, but she still vividly remembered their attitude from last time.
Chu Wanchen was never a particularly generous person. At their current social standing, while they wouldn’t deliberately make things difficult for people, there were far too many ways to make these salespeople feel uncomfortable.
Ignoring the enthusiastic sales staff, Chu Wanchen simply called over Zhang Ping and asked her to show them the cars.
Compared to deliberately making a scene, preventing the other party from gaining a single bit of benefit from them was a much higher class of retaliation.
Paying no heed to the sour expressions of the other salespeople, Zhang Ping asked in a professional manner, “Do you have any specific cars in mind this time? Or would you like me to introduce some options to you?”
“This time is mainly to buy a car for my husband, it entirely depends on what he likes.”
“Sir, do you prefer supercars, or do you need a more business-oriented model?”
Chu Jianping naturally loved supercars; it’s safe to say that no man could resist the charm of a supercar.
However, the car he was buying now was for commuting to and from work, so a supercar might be a bit too extravagant.
Noticing Chu’s father’s hesitation, Chu Wanchen said to Zhang Ping, “Show us both business cars and supercars.”
Alright then, it seemed he didn’t need to stress over the choice anymore—his precious daughter had already figured it out for him.
Hearing Chu Wanchen’s words, Zhang Ping felt as though a pile of money was waving at her. Her career path was truly becoming more and more lucrative.
Fantasizing about her future earnings, Zhang Ping introduced the vehicles to the group, “You can take a look at this one. This limited-edition, high-end custom Maybach S680 is currently only available here at our dealership nationwide. After you purchase it, the manufacturer can customize it according to your exact specifications.
“If you’re looking to buy a sports car, our store happens to have just received a Ferrari LaFerrari today. This car is limited to only 499 units worldwide, and our boss went through an immense amount of effort to secure it.”
This 4S dealership truly lived up to its reputation as the largest and most renowned in the country, managing to secure even a top-tier supercar like the Ferrari LaFerrari.
Looking at the streamlined red sports car before him, Chu Jianping’s heart surged with excitement. This was a Ferrari LaFerrari, his absolute dream car!
Seeing Chu Jianping’s satisfaction with the Ferrari LaFerrari, Zhang Ping quickly added, “Sir, this Ferrari LaFerrari hasn’t been test-driven by anyone yet. Would you like to give it a try?”
In reality, limited-edition luxury cars like the Ferrari LaFerrari were generally not open for test drives. However, Zhang Ping was well aware of Chu Wanchen’s purchasing power. As long as this wealthy lady took a liking to it, she could definitely buy it. Therefore, she used her authority to grant Chu Jianping a test drive.
Given the opportunity to test drive a LaFerrari, Chu Jianping naturally wouldn’t miss out. The classic Ferrari butterfly doors slowly swung open, and Chu Jianping stepped inside.
The steering wheel of the LaFerrari was different from other cars, integrating various primary functions, and the paddle shifters were longer and more ergonomic.
The unique gear selector bridge featured a beautiful suspended wing design, arranged with various F1 gearbox controls. The overall interior delivered an intense racetrack atmosphere, overflowing with the charm of high-speed racing.
When the sports car started, a powerful force pressed him back into his seat. As he stepped on the accelerator, the car accelerated from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 3 seconds.
It allowed Chu Jianping to experience firsthand what it meant to ride like the wind.
After a lap of test driving, Chu Jianping was extremely satisfied and decided to purchase the Ferrari LaFerrari on the spot.
Chu Wanchen also put down an order for the other custom Maybach S680 recommended by Zhang Ping. The two cars came to a total of 60 million yuan, and Chu Wanchen swiped her card very readily.
Even though she already knew Chu Wanchen was wealthy, every time she watched Chu Wanchen spend money, it seemed to redefine Zhang Ping’s understanding of wealth.
Last time it was two Mercedes-Benz S450Ls, and today it was a Maybach S680 and a Ferrari LaFerrari. Across her two shopping trips at their store, Chu Wanchen had spent nearly a hundred million yuan in total. Yet, looking at her expression, it was as casual as if she had just gone to a wet market to buy two potatoes.
Perhaps a hundred million yuan in her hands was just like 1 yuan in the hands of an ordinary person.
Zhang Ping was not someone who resented the rich. In her words, rather than spending time being cynical about the world, it was better to find ways to sell a few more cars.
Without overthinking any further, she focused on recording Chu Jianping’s customization requirements for the Maybach.
The LaFerrari could be picked up tomorrow, while the Maybach would take a month because of the custom specifications.
When the group stepped out of the 4S dealership, Father Chu felt as though he were walking on clouds, and everything that had just occurred felt like an illusion.
However, when he looked at the two car purchase contracts in his hands, everything shifted from illusion back to reality.
He truly owned his own cars now—and a Ferrari LaFerrari and a Maybach at that. This was a scenario that only existed in his dreams.
Now that his fantasies had realized one by one, how could he not be ecstatic?
Chu Wanchen and Shao Wenxin noticed Chu Jianping’s excitement and chose not to disturb him, letting him calm his emotions slowly on his own.
By the time Father Chu finally composed himself, he realized the car had parked in the underground parking garage of the Shanghai IFC Mall.
“Haven’t we finished buying everything? Why did we come to the IFC Mall?”
“Who told you we were finished? Dad, you’re a man who’s about to drive a LaFerrari now. You can’t keep wearing those old clothes you’ve had for four or five years.”
Chu Jianping thought about it and realized she was right. Since the villa and luxury cars had already been bought, a few sets of clothes wouldn’t make a difference.
At this moment, Chu Jianping still had no inkling of how terrifying a woman’s shopping trip could be—especially a wealthy woman’s shopping trip.
By the time they reached the mall, it was already lunchtime.
The three of them settled their lunch at Da Dong. Previously, they had only ever eaten vacuum-packed Peking duck, so tasting authentic, freshly prepared, and sliced Peking duck for the first time left them thoroughly enjoying the meal with grease on their lips.
After the meal, the three of them were completely satisfied, heading toward the shopping area full of fighting spirit.
The major brands inside the IFC Mall all recognized Chu Wanchen and her mother. Seeing them approach, the staff immediately broke into wide smiles.
Their bonuses were entirely tied to these few individuals. Every luxury boutique sales associate braced themselves, waiting with full attention for the arrival of their gods of wealth.
The mother and daughter dragged Father Chu along, buying him formal wear, sportswear, and casual attire.
They also bought various gemstone cufflinks, bow ties, and leather belts.
Because Father Chu loved swimming and diving, Chu Wanchen conveniently bought a pile of water sports equipment for her dad at a professional sports goods store.
They even bought several fragrances and home scents suitable for Father Chu, along with various men’s skincare products.
An older man needed maintenance too; Mom was looking younger and younger now, so if Dad didn’t take care of himself, he might get mistaken for her father when they went out together in the future, which would leave him in tears.
Yesterday, the sales associate from Patek Philippe had messaged Chu Wanchen, letting her know that a Nautilus and a Green Submariner had arrived at their store, specifically reserved for Chu Wanchen.
Coming to the mall today was the perfect opportunity to take these two watches home, so Chu Wanchen brought her parents to the Patek Philippe boutique.
Ordinarily, getting these two highly sought-after timepieces would require a waitlist of at least half a year, but Chu Wanchen was a top-tier VIP client at Patek Philippe, granting her priority purchasing privileges.
Upon entering the store, Chu Wanchen wasted no time, directly swiping her card to pay and taking the watches with her.
The entire sequence of actions was seamless and completely unhesitating, fully demonstrating the power of money.
Throughout the afternoon, the mother and daughter practically “armed” Father Chu from his hair down to his feet. Father Chu’s emotions transitioned from excitement to complete numbness—it was truly a mix of pain and pleasure.
After shopping, Father Chu followed Chu Wanchen and her mother back to the Tang Palace Manor. He had previously thought Huaguan Mansion was already a top-tier villa, but he hadn’t expected Tang Palace to far exceed his imagination.
Not only was the area several times larger than Huaguan Mansion, but the landscape layout, decoration, and furnishings of the two properties were also simply incomparable.
Early this morning, Shao Wenxin had informed Nanny Chen that Father Chu would be coming over tonight, so Nanny Chen had prepared an exceptionally lavish dinner for today.
Faced with such exquisite delicacies, the three of them ate until their stomachs were round, feeling immensely satisfied.
After dinner, the three entered the study. Shao Wenxin explained the fabricated story she had prepared earlier to Father Chu and brought out the will drafted by the system.
After reading the will, Father Chu believed their explanation completely. He didn’t ask about the exact amount of the inheritance, only reminding them to keep this matter a secret from outsiders.
Chu Wanchen and Shao Wenxin naturally understood the principle of keeping one’s wealth hidden, so they readily agreed.
The three chatted a bit more about their plans for the future before heading back to their respective rooms to rest.
