Buying a Car for My Senior, the Frugal Senior

At the Mercedes-Benz 4S Store.

Zhou Jialu, who was about to resign, was surrounded by several of her older female colleagues.

Taking advantage of the quiet morning before many customers arrived, they whispered and gossiped, inquiring in detail about her boyfriend.

Each of them put on a show of concern.

After all, who among the saleswomen working here didn't fantasize about being swept away by a rich man and living a life of leisure as a wealthy wife, free from the need to work?

Having frequent contact with wealthy individuals in this job, it was only natural for them to develop such inclinations.

Some of these young women had been in sweet, innocent campus relationships with their boyfriends before graduation.

After graduating, they felt the harsh pressure of reality, and their thoughts gradually shifted.

It wasn't that they disliked their campus boyfriends, but rather that their desires had grown. They were no longer satisfied with just "love is enough" and began to demand higher material standards.

In school, food and lodging were subsidized by the state, so expenses were minimal.

Only after starting work did they realize that, putting aside other things, rent alone was a significant monthly expense.

Jiangcheng was considered relatively good; if you worked in a big city, renting a bedroom in the suburbs would still cost at least one to two thousand yuan per month.

Not to mention buying a house, a car, and raising children later on... each of these was a major expense.

Therefore, upon learning that Zhou Jialu's boyfriend was still a student, the saleswomen were practically bursting with envy.

He had managed to get both youth and prosperity!

"No, sisters, you're making it sound so mysterious. Is that Su Bai really tall and handsome?"

The one who spoke was a heavily made-up saleswoman.

Her name was Feng Liyun. She had been off work yesterday and hadn't met Su Bai.

Before Zhou Jialu joined, she had been responsible for shooting promotional videos for new media, and then Zhou Jialu took her position.

There was nothing she could do; she was completely outmatched in terms of looks, figure, and even demeanor.

Zhou Jialu was practically a born enchantress.

To be honest, Feng Liyun was inwardly quite pleased that Zhou Jialu had successfully snagged a rich man and was leaving.

If this young woman had stayed and worked at the store long-term, it would have been a real tragedy. Feng Liyun didn't know how long she would have been suppressed!

Feng Liyun had always hoped some rich tycoon would whisk her away.

However, in her expectations, the man who would have taken Zhou Jialu should have been a middle-aged, greasy uncle. That would have at least made her feel more balanced.

"Sister Feng, it's true. I was on duty yesterday and stared at that guy for a long time... Oh, I just thought he was good-looking, nothing else. You're not mad, are you, Jialu?" one of the saleswomen joked.

"Hehe, it's fine. Looking at handsome guys isn't illegal," Zhou Jialu said with a giggle. "Go ahead and look. You can't have him anyway~"

"Ooh, ooh, ooh, looks like our Jialu has already had him."

"How much did you eat last night? Can he satisfy you?"

"Stop it! It's broad daylight, saying such things..."

As the girls playfully bantered.

Su Bai, tall and imposing, strode into the 4S store.

The chattering girls instantly fell silent, subdued by the aura of the handsome man.

This was actually quite common. If a man with high attractiveness and an air of nobility approached, groups of chatting girls would suddenly quiet down, steal a few glances at him, and then excitedly discuss him after he had left.

"Good morning, everyone."

Su Bai greeted them generally, then approached his senior, gave her a hug, and gently kissed her forehead.

Zhou Jialu was a little surprised and responded with a light kiss on Su Bai's face.

This immediately drew teasing from the girls.

"Oh my goodness, someone's showing off their affection so early in the morning..."

"How embarrassing!"

"Jialu, just kill us already, us single dogs are about to explode with jealousy!"

"..."

Su Bai exchanged a few pleasantries with them before asking Zhou Jialu, "Senior, have you finished your resignation procedures?"

"Mhm, it's all done. I can leave with you anytime," Zhou Jialu said, holding Su Bai's hand, her face beaming with sweetness.

Meeting her junior was truly her good fortune.

Su Bai nodded upon hearing this and took out his phone to call Manager Guo.

"Manager Guo, I plan to pick out a car for Jialu. Since she's already resigned, I'll have to trouble you to come out and handle the paperwork."

"Haha, no trouble at all!" Manager Guo waved his hands repeatedly. Who would complain about trouble when there was a sale?

"Junior, are you really buying me a car? It's not necessary, I don't really need a car that often, it feels like such a waste," Zhou Jialu said.

Despite her words, her expression was one of pleasant surprise.

"Of course, we have to buy one. Senior, there are times when you need to take action yourself. Jiangcheng is so big, it's more convenient to have a car."

Su Bai insisted.

He had already formed a close relationship with Zhou Jialu, and by letting her spend extravagantly, he could get cashback.

"Okay, then... since junior thinks it's necessary, I'll buy one, but don't buy anything too expensive. We won't be able to use anything too expensive anyway."

It had to be said that Zhou Jialu's emotional intelligence was quite high. If she were a greedy gold digger, given the opportunity to buy a car, she would naturally pick the most expensive one.

Since it wasn't her own money, she wouldn't feel the pinch.

But Zhou Jialu didn't think that way. If she drove a car more expensive than Su Bai's, wouldn't it feel strange, like she was being inconsiderate?

In fact, it didn't even need to be more expensive; anything similar would also be inappropriate.

What kind of status did she have to be driving a car in the same price range as her junior?

Zhou Jialu had a clear understanding of her position. She was her junior's woman, and it was only right for her to maintain a humble demeanor.

The more she was doted on by her junior, the more she needed to be mindful.

She shouldn't be like the women in TV dramas or romance novels who became arrogant due to their partner's indulgence.

Zhou Jialu thought for a moment and quickly made her choice.

After all, she had worked in sales for a while and was very familiar with Mercedes-Benz's product line.

"The entry-level C260L will do. We don't need the high-end version; all its functions are quite complete."

"Really?" Su Bai felt that this cashback wasn't exciting enough. "How about the E-Class? The E-Class looks a bit better."

"No, no, the E-Class is almost fifty thousand after the price reduction. It's unnecessary. Actually, if I wasn't worried about embarrassing you, junior, I'd be perfectly fine with a 30,000 yuan 'chopped chili fish head' car. It's just for getting around anyway."

Zhou Jialu stuck out her tongue, her playful and somewhat innocent expression on her alluring face, which was incredibly captivating to men.

Su Bai couldn't help but pinch her cheek. "Senior, you're so thrifty and good at managing a household."

"Hehe, of course! I'm yours now, so it's only right for me to save money for you."

Manager Guo maintained his professional smile, but he was internally screaming.

Damn it, let's hurry up and get the car and leave. Are they still here showing off their affection and feeding us dog food?

A single dog is envious.

Despite his internal complaints, the car delivery was actually very quick. As the C260L was an entry-level luxury model of the classic Mercedes-Benz C-Class, inventory was plentiful.

Furthermore, since Su Bai was paying in full, there was no need for a loan process.

Once the insurance was sorted, it was almost done.

As a result, it was only nine o'clock, and Su Bai and Zhou Jialu were already driving on the road, one after the other, heading towards the JW Marriott Hotel.

Watching the two brand-new cars drive away from the 4S store in style, the saleswoman Feng Liyun was a bit dazed.

"He's actually a handsome guy..."

The moment she saw Su Bai, she was smitten and really wanted to take the opportunity to flirt with him.

However, she simply didn't have the confidence to try anything in front of Zhou Jialu.

Forget it, sigh. Who told sister Jialu to be naturally beautiful and lucky? Wuwuwu, I'm so envious!
