WPG0028: Happy New Car!

Faced with An Wuyang's question, An Huchun gave an affirmative answer.

"Now everything is ready except for the final piece." An Wuyang summarized first.

Then he looked at Li Wenya and added, "Mom, regarding product registration, relevant approvals, and patent formula applications, can we entrust all of that to Mingjing Law Firm?"

Li Wenya replied affirmatively, "Of course."

"Dad, you handle the production side. I'll take care of customizing the Xing Kiln White Porcelain packaging and the subsequent marketing plan." An Wuyang continued.

An Huchun agreed, "Alright."

"I did a quick calculation. Even without bundling, our new product's gross profit should be around 2.5 billion. I have new plans for that money." An Huchun added.

Li Wenya and An Wuyang both looked at An Huchun.

An Huchun went on, "First, I want to use this profit to expand the Tianjingyan Medicinal Herb Planting Base and further increase the planting area for bitter orange blossoms."

"Even though we can't determine why only the bitter orange blossom essential oil from the Tianjingyan base can eliminate dullness and awaken fair skin, we can still expand the growing region." An Huchun added.

"Second, I plan to build a new drug research and development center next to the Tianjingyan base." An Huchun continued.

"The Snowy Skin Series products will generate substantial profits in the future. I want to establish a more advanced R&D center to better study the bitter orange blossoms from Tianjingyan and incidentally research other herbs." An Huchun expressed his ambition.

Li Wenya looked at An Wuyang.

An Wuyang shrugged like a little bear. "Of course, no problem."

What could he, a third-generation rich kid, do when his father wanted to burn money?

An Huchun smiled faintly. He had actually been worried that An Wuyang might be reluctant to let go of the profits and refuse such a costly move.

After agreeing, An Wuyang pulled out his phone to check the time. It was already close to eleven. He quickly said, "I have things to do this afternoon. I'm heading out."

An Huchun called out, "Wait!"

An Wuyang looked at him in confusion.

An Huchun took out his Mercedes-Benz S400L key and handed it to An Wuyang. "It's too hot outside. Take the car if you need to go somewhere."

"No need, no need. I'm just going to pick up my car." An Wuyang replied.

He had already confessed to buying a car earlier, so An Huchun and Li Wenya weren't surprised.

"Are you coming home for dinner tonight?" Li Wenya asked.

An Wuyang shook his head. "No, I made plans to eat with friends."

"Then be careful. If you drink, don't drive. Remember to call a designated driver." Li Wenya reminded him.

An Wuyang answered firmly, "Don't worry, I know."

Don't drink and drive, don't drive and drink—An Wuyang had that memorized.

He left the Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group and then called Baosheng 5S Store to ask about picking up the car.

The inquiry was quick and simple. Baosheng 5S Store said the vehicle was ready, and they had even selected the corresponding license plate, waiting only for An Wuyang to come and collect it.

The license plate was, of course, a reward from the Happy Life System. The specific plate was Sheng A168, where 'WY' stood for the initials of 'Wuyang' and '168' sounded like 'prosperity all the way' in Chinese.

Gotta say, the Happy Life System was amazing!

An Wuyang took a taxi directly to Baosheng 5S Store. About half an hour later, he arrived at the sales showroom and called the salesperson again.

A slender female salesperson with light makeup walked up to An Wuyang.

"Hello, Mr. An. I'm your sales representative, Li Jia." Li Jia greeted him proactively.

An Wuyang nodded slightly. Although Li Jia's post-makeup looks were decent, he had no interest in flirting. He just wanted to get his car quickly.

Of course, he wouldn't outright say it was because Li Jia wasn't pretty enough that he was in a hurry.

"Hello, is my car ready?" An Wuyang asked politely.

Li Jia replied courteously, "This way, please. We've prepared a delivery ceremony for you."

An Wuyang frowned slightly. He didn't need any delivery ceremony.

A mere BMW that barely crossed the million-yuan mark—for his social circle, making a big deal out of it would actually be quite awkward.

After all, different circles had different ways of showing off.

For ordinary people, a 300,000-yuan BBA was enough to show off on Moments.

Even if many people liked to make snide remarks online, when it came to actually proving they owned a car worth over 300,000, most netizens would find excuses to back out.

After all, these people didn't understand that 'being able to afford' and 'having already bought' were two different concepts.

Sure, many people could grit their teeth and buy a 300,000-yuan car.

But then what?

Food, clothing, housing, and transportation were all connected!

When the 'transportation' aspect was upgraded, wouldn't the other aspects have to follow?

But for An Wuyang's circle, a mere million-yuan BMW truly wasn't worth showing off. For their level, a million-yuan car was just an entry-level model.

To show off in An Wuyang's circle, you'd need at least a Porsche 911, and not the base model.

An Wuyang turned down the delivery ceremony, rejected Li Jia's WeChat friend request, and declined the invitation to stay for lunch at Baosheng 5S Store. He drove off directly in the newly registered BMW M3.

On the road, he called Xia Yuqing through the car's system.

After waiting nearly half a minute, Xia Yuqing picked up.

"Xia classmate," An Wuyang greeted first.

Xia Yuqing replied a bit sheepishly, "I'm here."

"Do you have time at noon? Let's have a meal together," An Wuyang invited.

"Ah?" Xia Yuqing was taken aback.

"You're busy?" An Wuyang countered.

"No, no," Xia Yuqing quickly denied. "I just... An classmate, do you really want to eat with me?"

"It's just a meal, what's with the 'really'?" An Wuyang retorted.

"Sure, sure! Then where are we going to eat?" Xia Yuqing asked.

"Is there anything you feel like eating?" An Wuyang asked as he adjusted the navigation route, setting the destination to Zhuyu Garden—the neighborhood where Xia Yuqing lived.

Xia Yuqing thought for a moment and replied negatively, "I don't know what I want to eat, but I don't want hotpot, or barbecue, or heavy home-style dishes, or anything too spicy or greasy."

"I've gained two pounds recently. I need to control my weight so I don't get turned away at the school gate when the semester starts," Xia Yuqing added.

Xia Yuqing had been admitted to Magic City Academy of Drama. She chose the Music and Dance category, with a specific major in Xia Country Dance Performance, focusing primarily on solo dance routines.

This major path places extremely high demands on physique, so Xia Yuqing holds herself to a very strict standard.

Exceeding the weight limit is absolutely out of the question!
