The people in the Audi showroom spotted Joe as he was getting closer and closer. One of the salespersons blurted, “Fuck, it’s the e-bike guy who bought the BMW 760!”
“Damn, I’m going to stop him and persuade him to buy the top-spec Audi A8 even if I have to lick his boots!”
“Yes!”
All of a sudden, a large number of Audi salesmen rushed out and surrounded him.
“Sir! Please come and see the latest top-spec Audi A8 in our showroom!”
“Sir! Our A8 is very powerful. It uses a W12 engine, which is much better than the BMW 760 V12 engine!”
Joe arched his eyebrows curiously. “Really? Isn’t that great?”
“Yes!” An Audi salesman marched forward hurriedly and started, “Boss, let me explain to you. Our W12 engine is divided into two sides and one side can be turned off as you please. It is more fuel-efficient when you turn off half of the twelve cylinders!”
Joe growled contemptuously, “Are you out of your mind? Why would I buy a twelve-cylinder car and turn off six cylinders for the sake of fuel saving? I can just buy a six-cylinder car!”
“Erm… Ah… I…”
The salesman’s face turned into an embarrassing shade of red when he realized that he had misspoken.
Joe smirked at them and said, “I know what you’re thinking. You are frustrated that I bought a BMW 760 next door yesterday and you want me as your customer today no matter what, am I right?”
The group of salespersons nodded profusely.
Joe snorted. “Let me tell you, it’s too late! You ignored me and treated me indifferently yesterday. Today, I’m way out of your league!”
Honk honk!
He pressed the horn of his little scooter and said, “Get out of my way, I would like to go to the BMW showroom to buy a car!”
The BMW salespersons rushed out of their door and shouted, “You Audi losers, what do you think you’re doing? Are you trying to steal our customers? Don’t you see he doesn’t even want to listen to you? Get out of his way! If you block his way again, I’ll call the reporters and expose you!”
The Audi salespersons sighed regretfully and walked away in despair.
The manager of the BMW showroom came to greet Joe in person and asked respectfully, “Good morning, Mr. Smith, would you like to buy another car today?”
Joe nodded and said, “Do you have a BMW 530? Cash and carry!”
“Yes! We do!”
The manager was over the moon.
A 760 yesterday, a 530 today, he was indeed a generous customer!
He hurriedly said, “Sir, please follow me, I’ll show you the car.”
Joe hummed and followed him into the showroom.
There was a BMW 530 in the exhibition hall. Joe sat in to feel it and realized that although the exterior was very similar to the 7 Series, it was a lot worse inside. However, it was considered luxurious enough for his aging and pompous father-in-law.
He was about to take out his card and go on with the transaction when he heard a familiar voice coming from nearby, “Oh my dear, I really like the BMW X6! Could you buy me one, please?”
Joe, who was sitting in the car, looked towards the direction of the voice when he saw Lily, Douglas’s fiancée, wrapping her arms around a stranger’s arm and speaking in a coy and intimate manner.
Joe frowned in agitation and thought, ‘Lily called the man ‘dear’. Is this woman cheating on Douglas?’
Suddenly, a surge of fury slowly burned inside him. He hated unfaithful women who had no moral boundaries.
Moreover, Douglas was working hard to build his career while this woman was cheating on him! She was so disgusting!
He listened to the man teasing her with a lustful face, “If I buy you the X6 now, how would you explain this to Douglas?”
“Douglas?” Lily blurted with a look of disgust. “Don’t mention his name, he is nothing but a loser! He is not rich, he has no skills, he has nothing! I wouldn’t be with him if not for his honest and down-to-earth personality!”
The man grinned. He pinched Lily’s face and said, “You’re my woman now, why do you still want to be with him? I don’t allow other men to touch my woman!”
Lily hurriedly persuaded with a coy voice, “Don’t worry, Jerome, I haven’t let him touch me since we got together. He’s so filthy! My body is always yours and only yours, it’s exclusively for you alone!”
Then, she continued, “Actually, I wanted to break up with him as soon as the restaurant started operating, but I didn’t know that the loser had a friend who is quite resourceful and helped me get rid of Scarface at the redevelopment zone. Wait until the business is on track—I’ll ditch him and kick him out of the restaurant then!”
Jerome Hunt laughed pompously and said, “It’s just Scarface! If you’d told me earlier, all I would need is a phone call and his boss would come to kneel and apologize to you directly!”
Lily giggled delightedly and said, “Oh, Jerome, you’re my hero! It was quite urgent at that time, so I didn’t manage to contact you. Besides, Douglas was there, I was afraid that you’d be annoyed to see him!”
Jerome pinched her waist seductively and laughed. “You’re such a good girl!”
Lily rubbed her breast against his arms like a cat rubbing itself on a pillar and said, “Jerome, could you buy me the BMW X6 now? Please…”
Jerome smiled haughtily and said, “Later, baby. We’ll go to my place first, let me feed you several rounds. Then, you ditch that loser and I’ll buy you the X6 tomorrow!”
Lily shrieked joyfully, “Jerome, is it true? Will you really buy me X6 tomorrow?”
“When have I ever lied to you?” Jerome grinned. “But you need to make me happy first!”
Lily looked at him coquettishly and said, “You naughty dog! Don’t you worry, you’ll be in cloud nine when we get to your place later!”
Then, they turned and left the BMW showroom.
Joe was extremely agitated by the disgusting couple. Immediately, he took out his phone and called Douglas.
Douglas’s surprised voice could be heard on the line as soon as the call was answered. “Joe, how are you? Why did you call me so suddenly?”
Joe said flatly, “I just want to say hello. What are you doing now?”
“I’m busy at my restaurant, of course. Lunch hour is around the corner and the customers will come anytime soon, so I’m here to lend a hand.”
“Do you go to your restaurant every day?”
“Of course! We’re just starting our business and there are many matters for me to handle. Besides, more than half of the restaurant’s capital was Lily’s father’s money. They will look down on me if I don’t work harder.”
“How much did you put in the restaurant?”
“A hundred grand. That is all my savings since graduation.”
“Who is the owner of the restaurant?”
