Chapter 297 Your father is truly a man of strong character!
"No need," Ye Fan replied crisply and without hesitation. "Let's get straight to the paperwork."
He turned to Miao Zi beside him and said, "Miao Zi, this car will be registered in your name."
Miao Zi remained calm and nodded slightly: "Okay, boss."
Miao Zi wasn't too surprised by Ye Fan's words. She was his woman, and he had entrusted these things to her. She would simply keep them safe for him without having any other thoughts.
However, the salesperson next to him was completely dumbfounded!
His professional smile froze instantly, and his eyes were filled with disbelief!
A top-of-the-line luxury car with a price tag of over a million yuan was bought so casually? Without even a test drive or checking the specifications? And... it was directly registered under the name of the lady next to him, who clearly looks like an assistant or secretary?
The salesperson thought about it and realized that their perspective was too limited!
The salesperson said, "Sir, let me introduce it to you!"
Ye Fan was taken aback: "I've already bought them, what are you going to introduce?"
The salesperson was a little confused: "But...but the process isn't finished yet!"
Ye Fan said, "Save it! Just sign the contract and swipe your card."
Sale:"......"
The salesperson was internally devastated. They thought: "This is ridiculous! I memorized all sorts of data to sell a car, and you just walk in and place an order, waiting to pay. What good is all that data I memorized?"
The salesperson, having finally regained his composure, remembered the crucial issue and quickly pulled out the configuration list, cautiously reminding him, "Sir, it's like this, all the Maybach S400s currently in stock at the dealership have been forcibly equipped with a luxury interior upgrade package worth 6 yuan, including custom Nappa leather seat piping, star-emblazoned welcome pedals, an aromatherapy system, and pre-installed interfaces for the rear entertainment system..."
As he spoke, he kept an eye on Ye Fan's expression, afraid that this man might leave abruptly if he became unhappy.
Ye Fan raised an eyebrow. "Are they starting to pair up with BBA now?"
Just then.
A familiar yet slightly mocking voice suddenly came from the other side of the exhibition hall, clearly reaching Ye Fan's ears: "What's there to choose? Just give it away!"
Ye Fan turned his head at the sound and saw Wu Shaojie, whom he had met briefly a few days ago at another event, walking briskly toward him with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his lips. Wu Shaojie was dressed in casual clothes that looked casual but were actually quite expensive.
His appearance reminded Ye Fan of a character from a TV series in later years: the Frozen Fish Warrior!
Behind him followed a manager in a suit wearing a store manager's name tag, keeping pace with him.
"Young Master Wu?" Ye Fan was somewhat surprised, then laughed, "What a coincidence! We've run into each other again!"
Wu Shaojie walked up and casually patted Ye Fan on the shoulder, his gaze sweeping over Miao Zi beside Ye Fan and the frozen salesman: "Indeed! Fate is something you can't stop! Brother Ye, are you looking at cars?"
Ye Fan pointed to the imposing Maybach S400 in the center of the showroom: "Hmm, that's it."
"This is..." Ye Fan asked, pointing to the Mercedes-Benz 4S store.
Wu Shaojie shrugged, looking indifferent: "Hey, it's a small business my old man gave me to practice with. I was just idling around anyway, so I came over to take a look."
He spoke casually, as if this multi-million dollar 4S store was just a roadside stall.
Ye Fan: "..."
He chuckled, then could only give a thumbs up: "Impressive, I admire you!"
Wu Shaojie laughed heartily and waved his hand, "Brother Ye, don't flatter me. You're the real expert! Looking at your age, you're much better than I was back then! When I was your age, I wanted to buy a Harley-Davidson motorcycle to enjoy it, and my old man almost beat me so badly with a belt that I couldn't take care of myself!"
As he spoke, he made an exaggerated whipping motion, his expression vivid.
Ye Fan was amused by him: "Your father... is truly a man of character! Awesome!" He instantly had a vivid image in his mind.
"That's right!" Wu Shaojie exclaimed.
His expression immediately turned serious, and he instructed the store manager behind him, "Old Zhou, what are you standing there for? Take my brother Ye's woman to complete the paperwork! Give the green light to everything, and don't forget to get that comminuted fracture!"
"Yes, Young Master Wu! Understood!" Manager Zhou responded immediately.
He carefully turned to Miao Zi: "Madam, please come with me."
Seeing this, Ye Fan stopped being coy and refused.
He admired Wu Shaojie's straightforwardness and keen insight, and felt that this person was indeed worth getting to know better.
He smiled readily and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Wu Shaojie: "Then thank you very much, Brother Wu, for your generosity!"
"No problem, we don't need to talk about this between us!" Wu Shaojie waved his hand dismissively.
Ye Fan handed the bank card to Miao Zi and whispered, "Go and handle this!"
Miao Zi calmly accepted the card and then left with the apprehensive Manager Zhou. Her demeanor was composed and capable, without the slightest hint of being flattered or flustered.
......
After watching Miao Zi and Manager Zhou walk away, Wu Shaojie pulled Ye Fan to sit down in the VIP lounge next door, where staff served them hot tea.
He leaned forward slightly, a hint of curiosity and probing in his voice, and asked, "Brother Ye, what's your area of expertise?"
What the hell are you doing? Ye Fan was both amused and exasperated. This guy's words were still easy to misunderstand. He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and mumbled, "Oh! I guess you could say... I'm involved in investment."
This answer is both general and safe, covering a very wide range.
A knowing glint flashed in Wu Shaojie's eyes.
Born into a prominent family, he understood all too well the meaning behind such vague answers—either the field was too sensitive to elaborate on, or the scope was too broad and involved a wide range of issues.
He tactfully refrained from pressing for specifics, instead smiling and changing the subject: "Hey, Brother Ye, at your age, driving a Maybach? It's certainly composed, but it feels like you're lacking a bit of youthful energy! Why not get a supercar to cruise around in? That's much more exciting!"
Ye Fan chuckled, half-jokingly shrugging, "Supercars are great, but alas, I'm short on cash!"
Wu Shaojie slapped Ye Fan on the shoulder with considerable force, laughing and scolding, "Do you think I believe you? Just look at how you swiped your card to buy a Maybach without batting an eye, and your partner..."
He glanced in the direction Miao Zi had left, his gaze suggestive: "Your 'shyness' is way too much of a stretch!"
He then added enthusiastically, "Here's what we'll do: I'll introduce you to some friends sometime. They're all supercar enthusiasts in the industry, and they dabble in small projects together, sharing resources and expertise! You're sure you'll hit it off!"
He was proactively extending an olive branch, expanding Ye Fan's network of connections.
Ye Fan readily agreed: "Alright, thank you, Brother Wu!"
Although he didn't deliberately try to curry favor, having more friends meant having more options, especially someone like Wu Shaojie with a strong background and compatible personality. Sometimes, knowing the right person can be worth a fortune.
Of course, he would never easily resort to these favors if he could solve the problem with money.
