Chu Wanchen thought she would be too excited to sleep tonight, but whether it was the effect of the essential oils or the fact that the mattress was simply too comfortable, she slept exceptionally soundly and sweetly.
The excellent quality of her sleep the night before allowed Chu Wanchen to wake up early the next morning.
“System, sign in for today.” The very first thing she did upon waking up was to find the system and sign in.
“Sign-in successful. Reward: One Rolls-Royce Boat Tail.”
Chu Wanchen was truly starting to love the system to death. Just yesterday, she felt that not having a car at home was inconvenient, and today, the system’s sign-in directly gifted her one.
She opened her phone and began searching for information on the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail. The Boat Tail was a fully coachbuilt, hand-tailored model by Rolls-Royce. There were only three in the entire world, and the price tag was well over a hundred million yuan.
As expected, anything produced by the system was bound to be a masterpiece. A car limited to three units worldwide was not something one could buy with money alone.
Initially, Chu Wanchen was worried that the car gifted by the system would be a two-seater sports car. Since neither mother nor daughter had a driver’s license, a two-seater sports car would actually be a white elephant for them.
Now, it was just perfect. The system had given them a four-seater luxury vehicle, making future travel much more convenient.
Chu Wanchen hurriedly got up to wash her face and brush her teeth, eager to share this surprise with her mother.
When she finished washing up and went downstairs, the family’s chef, Auntie Chen, had already prepared breakfast.
Shao Wenxin had not woken up yet. Chu Wanchen wasn’t particularly hungry, so she planned to wait until Shao Wenxin got up so they could eat together.
After another half hour, Shao Wenxin appeared at the top of the stairs.
“Mom, come over and eat quickly! Auntie Chen made Cantonese morning tea today, and I specially waited for you so we could eat together.”
“Coming, coming! In the future, if I come down late, you should eat first. Don’t ruin your health by starving.”
“Alright, alright. I just wasn’t hungry anyway. If I were hungry, I definitely would have eaten something first.”
It had to be said that the people hired through the property management app were all highly capable.
The maids were quick and nimble, the butler managed the entire household in an orderly fashion, and Auntie Chen’s culinary skills were absolutely superb.
Auntie Chen was especially skilled in Cantonese cuisine, though she was proficient in other culinary styles as well.
Today’s Cantonese morning tea tasted exceptionally good. The skins of the shrimp dumplings were supple, the shrimp fillings were sweet and crisp, and the steamed chicken feet were soft, chewy, savory, and fragrant.
Both of them were extremely satisfied with breakfast.
After finishing their meal, the two sat on the sofa to rest. Chu Wanchen quickly told her mother, “Mom, today’s system sign-in rewarded me with a Rolls-Royce.”
Shao Wenxin naturally knew about Rolls-Royce. After all, she had read extensively through domineering CEO literature; every single domineering CEO in those novels owned a Rolls-Royce. For a Rolls-Royce to be a standard feature for a domineering CEO, it must be incredibly expensive no matter how one thought about it.
“It’s a good thing the system gave you a four-seater car. If it were a two-seater sports car, I really wouldn’t know how we’d drive it. It looks like I really should go get my driver’s license.”
Shao Wenxin had never gone to get her driver’s license before because she was too busy with work. Once they returned to Qian City this time, she absolutely had to put getting her driver’s license on the agenda.
The two then began discussing today’s itinerary. They planned to buy a car for Chu Wanchen’s father and prepare two more cars for the domestic staff to make it convenient for future grocery shopping and purchasing daily necessities.
Because Chu Wanchen’s father was the only technician at his factory, he had taken a few days off earlier to accompany his daughter for the high school entrance exam, leaving a backlog of matters at the company waiting for him to handle.
Last night, he had called to tell the mother and daughter to look around by themselves first, and that he would come over to accompany them once he finished handling the company’s affairs.
He had also transferred ten thousand yuan to Shao Wenxin, telling them to buy whatever they liked when they saw it, and to let him know if it wasn’t enough.
Learning that Chu Jianping would not have time to come over for the next few days, the mother and daughter actually breathed a sigh of relief instead.
The existence of the system could not be disclosed to Chu Wanchen’s father. With him around, the two would definitely feel constrained and wouldn’t dare spend money. It was better to wait until everything was bought, and then find a reason to explain it to him all at once.
Since the car would not be delivered to the estate until the afternoon, the mother and daughter could only take a taxi to the 4S dealership first.
By the time they arrived at Shanghai’s largest 4S dealership, it was already past nine o’clock in the morning.
The clothes the mother and daughter bought yesterday wouldn’t be delivered to their home until today, so they simply came directly over wearing the clothes they had brought from Qian City.
Seeing the mother and daughter enter the store, the sales associates inside sized them up from head to toe. None of them showed any intention of standing up, clearly exhibiting an attitude of judging people by their cover.
Zhang Ping was a sales associate at the 4S dealership. She hadn’t closed a single deal yet, and seeing that this month’s KPI was about to go unfulfilled, she was anxious.
Failing to meet her performance quota meant she could only earn her base salary this month. One had to know that the base salary for sales staff was very low; to survive in an international city like Shanghai, relying solely on a base salary was far from enough.
When Zhang Ping saw Chu Wanchen and her mother walk into the store, she still enthusiastically went forward to greet them. If she didn’t secure a deal this month, her record would draw a blank. Although these two didn’t look like they could afford the cars in their store, what if? Some wealthy people just liked wearing T-shirts and flip-flops to stroll through shopping malls.
“The clothes those two are wearing look like street stall goods bought from Pinduoduo at first glance. How could they possibly afford the cars in our store? Zhang Ping is really asking for a snub. With that kind of time, she might as well take a good rest.”
The moment Chu Wanchen and Shao Wenxin entered the store, they could tell what these sales associates were thinking. The two didn’t care either; they were definitely going to buy cars anyway. Since these snobbish sales associates didn’t approach them, they naturally wouldn’t earn the commission from this deal. One had to know that the price of the cars the two were going to buy would absolutely not be low. When these sales associates saw the amount of this commission later, they would have plenty of reasons to regret it.
“Do you two have any specific models in mind?” Zhang Ping inquired while leading the two to look at the cars.
“We don’t have a specific model in mind. I want to equip the domestic staff at home with a car for grocery shopping and commuting. Do you have any recommendations?”
Hearing Chu Wanchen say this, Zhang Ping was stunned for a moment.
No way, could she really have run into a wealthy woman?
The cheapest cars in their store cost over 300,000 yuan. What kind of family must it be to allow their domestic staff to drive such a good car?
Thinking of this, Zhang Ping immediately recommended with a face full of smiles, “Ma’am, this Mercedes-Benz E300 is very suitable for grocery shopping and commuting for the household. Currently, the on-the-road price for this car is just under 400,000 yuan.”
“Emmm, too cheap. Take us to look at the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.”
When Zhang Ping heard this, she realized that if these two wealthy women could really buy a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, her bonus for this month could reach tens of thousands.
Consequently, she became even more enthusiastic, “Ma’am, please take a look. These two are Mercedes-Benz S450L models, which just arrived at our store this month and have not been test-driven by anyone yet. Do you need a test drive?”
Chu Wanchen and Shao Wenxin looked at the two cars—one black and one white—before them, feeling very satisfied with both.
“No need for a test drive. We’ll take these two cars, top-trim options. Can we drive them away now?”
This was the first time Zhang Ping had seen someone buy a car so decisively. Buying two cars worth over a million yuan each was as simple as if they had just bought two heads of Chinese cabbage.
“You can drive them away now. Our store has several license plates with special numbers. Are you two interested in taking a look?”
Hearing that they could directly help with the registration, Chu Wanchen instantly became interested.
“Sure, help me register both cars. I also have another car that hasn’t been registered yet. Can you do it together here?”
Zhang Ping naturally agreed immediately, “Of course we can. You can just drive the car over to us and we can handle the registration. We will complete all the paperwork for you.”
Just then, the butler at home sent a message to Chu Wanchen saying that the Rolls-Royce had been delivered to the estate.
Chu Wanchen sent her the location and told her to drive the Rolls-Royce over for registration, and to drive the two newly purchased cars back to Tang Palace while she was at it.
After sending the message, Zhang Ping came in with the POS machine to let them swipe their card. Chu Wanchen checked the vehicle purchase contract, found no issues, and simply swiped her card.
The way the two had treated the purchase like buying cabbage earlier had made Zhang Ping really unsure. Only when she saw Chu Wanchen actually swipe the card did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.
“Ladies, please wait a moment. The car registration and paperwork will take about half an hour. You can wait in the lounge or look around nearby, and I will notify you once it’s done.”
“Mm, I have another car coming over for registration shortly. I’ll give you the contact information for my butler at home, and you can coordinate with her directly.”
“Alright, take care.”
Once the two left the 4S dealership, the other sales associates gathered around.
“Zhang Ping, did those two really buy those two S450L models in the store?”
“Yes, they took one look and closed the deal directly.” “My goodness, being this rich and still wearing street stall clothes out, what are they trying to achieve?”
The several sales associates who had previously neglected the mother and daughter because of their attire were all filled with deep regret.
Zhang Ping didn’t care about them at all. Who told these people to look down on others? They were just mocking her a moment ago, and now the commission from this single deal of hers could amount to over a hundred thousand yuan, which would be enough to make these people green with envy for a long time.
About half an hour later, the butler drove Chu Wanchen’s Rolls-Royce Boat Tail to the 4S dealership.
Several sales associates recognized at a glance that this was the Boat Tail, limited to only three units worldwide. The previous two had been bought by overseas tycoons.
There had always been a rumor that the third one was bought by a Chinese national; it turned out this local tycoon belonged to their Shanghai city.
Several people hurriedly gathered around, all wanting to serve this client. Even if this person didn’t buy a car, establishing this connection would be extremely helpful for them.
“Excuse me, where is Zhang Ping? My master just bought two Mercedes-Benz S450L models here. Are the license plates ready? Also, this car needs to be registered here.”
Zhang Ping only knew that those two clients had significant backgrounds, but she didn’t expect that these two could even secure a car limited to three units globally.
The others were even more filled with utter remorse. If they hadn’t looked at people through a keyhole just now, then such a major client might have been theirs.
But there was no medicine for regret in this world, and several of them would never dare to judge people by their cover again in the future.
