169. Qi Zixiao: Bargaining? I Don't!
C City.
Qi Zixiao left the driving school feeling refreshed and invigorated...
"This time I feel better."
The coach was so angry at her that he dared not speak out. He looked so wronged, like a little punching bag, feeling incredibly aggrieved.
Especially seeing how he always wanted to retort, but couldn't bring himself to say anything... Qi Zixiao couldn't help but chuckle to herself whenever she thought about it.
"You'll never know that it was this Saintess who used her soul power to suppress you!"
She was overjoyed.
Ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators don't have much soul power, so suppressing people is less direct and effective than using their fists.
Qi Zixiao was originally a powerful figure creating a new account. Although Lin Fan's brain capacity was not large enough and his soul power was not strong, this was Qi Zixiao's consciousness!
With the skills of a Void Refinement expert, what's wrong with a secondary account?
It can still be used to torture people!
You think you can retaliate after I, the Saintess, have already rebuked you?
Dream on! I'll scare you so much you won't be able to open your mouth!
"Now, it's almost done. Driving on the road doesn't seem so difficult after all..."
Qi Zixiao pondered to herself.
At her 'suggestion', the coach 'obediently' took her and practiced the third part of the driving test for a whole day.
With her driving skills becoming increasingly proficient, Qi Saintess had no problem at all; she was now bursting with confidence...
That's it?
Even if this Saintess drives alone, she has no problem at all!
The more I think about it, the more excited I get.
Qi Zixiao suddenly felt that she could hardly bear it anymore...
Why does she want to learn to drive? Because she wants to drive!
Now that I feel I've learned it, how could I not be happy? I'm thinking about it more than ever before!
This feeling is like a young person who has been longing to learn to drive, and then they learn it very quickly and even get their driver's license... Do you want to drive?
They'd love to stay in the car all day long, right?!
Of course, Qi Zixiao doesn't have a driver's license yet.
But how could she know any of this?!
She had only been on Earth for less than a month, and no one had ever told her that she needed a driver's license to drive.
I only heard people at the driving school say things like "passed", "didn't pass", and "got their license".
What is a "book"?
I don't know!
But right now, I just want to drive!
"So..."
"How about I buy a car?"
Once the thought popped into my head, it was instantly hard to suppress!
In Qi Zixiao's mind, well, now that we can drive, we have money too; the more than ten million from before is basically untouched.
Every time they bought raw stones, Qin Ya would pay in advance and then cut a few stones herself to settle the debt...
Besides, Wu Guodong also said he wanted to invite us to be some kind of 'scientific advisor,' the kind that pays us.
In this situation, what's wrong with us buying a car? What's wrong with that?!
"Purchase!"
"I'll go buy it first thing tomorrow morning!"
Looking at the already dark sky, Qi Zixiao had no choice but to suppress her thoughts and wait for tomorrow with a heavy heart.
There's nothing I can do. It's almost dark, and I'm still near the University City. If I want to buy a car, I'll have to go to a car dealership or something.
Don't they lock their doors at night? They absolutely have to!
So it's not that she doesn't want to buy it now, but... if she goes there and the store is closed, wouldn't that be a wasted trip?
Back home, Qi Zixiao first ate some barbecue and beer nearby, then went straight into the house, picked up her phone, and started 'choosing a car'.
She does want to drive, that's true, but her knowledge of cars is practically nonexistent.
What brands are there?
Have no idea!
What models are available? I have no idea!
She doesn't even recognize a BMW, and you expect her to choose a car?!
Naturally, I'll familiarize myself with the online world first before considering which car to buy.
At the beginning...
Qi Zixiao opened Baidu and searched: What kind of car is suitable for a young woman to drive?
Swish, swish, swish!
A plethora of conclusions instantly popped up, ranging from domestically produced cars costing tens of thousands to luxury sedans costing hundreds of thousands or even millions—you name it.
Qi Zixiao had no idea what an 'advertisement' message link was; she just clicked randomly, trying to see which one she liked.
After going through all the options...
Neither of them feels right!
"It feels too petty."
"Isn't there one that's a bit more imposing?"
Qi Zixiao put down her phone and suddenly remembered something. "By the way, Sister A'Wu said that guy is going to give me a gift?"
"Hmph, aren't you going to tell me yet? Are you trying to surprise me?"
"You think you can make me happy by giving me a surprise? Dream on!"
She muttered to herself, then couldn't help but think, "Since I don't like any of these cars that are suitable for women, I might as well buy a car that men drive."
"This Saintess never owes favors, how could I accept his gift for nothing? I'll choose a car for him!"
"Hmm... that's it!"
Search bar, delete information.
Type again: What kind of car is best for a young man to drive?
Search!
With a whoosh, the results came out in a flurry: all sorts of supercars, hot hatches, performance cars, SUVs, and more.
However, Qi Zixiao immediately took a liking to a particular title.
"A real man should drive G-Wagon!"
"A real man should drive G-Wagon? That's great, that's great!"
Qi Zixiao's eyes lit up, and she clicked on the link. "Since I'm not interested in cars suitable for women, why not buy a car that a real man should drive?"
"That guy will surely be moved to tears when he sees this..."
Soon, the pictures came out, and Qi Zixiao was very satisfied after taking a look.
"This car... is really good, much better than those small and flimsy-looking cars. This is the one!"
I'll go buy it tomorrow morning!
Are we going to time travel again tomorrow morning?
What's there to be afraid of?!
We went to buy it early this morning, and then parked it in front of our house to give that guy a surprise!
Are you going to give me a gift and surprise me?
Hmph~
Am Saintess the kind of person who would take advantage of someone for nothing? I'm going to give you an even bigger surprise!
The next day, early morning.
Early in the morning, Qi Zixiao took a taxi to the largest BC 4S store in C City, but unfortunately, it was not open yet.
She wasn't in a hurry, so she just grabbed a quick breakfast nearby and went inside as soon as the door opened.
"Hey buddy, what are you doing?"
The salesperson had barely opened the door and hadn't even reached out when someone tried to squeeze in. He couldn't help but stop him. "What do you mean?"
He became even more wary after he saw the person's clothes.
At this moment, Qi Zixiao was certainly not wearing women's clothing or anything; in fact, she was just wearing it for fun at home.
but...
Lin Fan's clothes really have no taste.
A plain, unremarkable solid-color T-shirt, faded jeans, and a pair of off-brand sneakers.
The total cost of his entire outfit wouldn't exceed two hundred yuan.
Such a person, squeezing into the store as soon as it opens in the morning... anyone would be wary of that.
It wouldn't be sarcastic or cynical, but caution is certainly warranted.
"A real man should drive G-Wagon!"
Qi Zixiao responded directly and then went inside.
The salesperson, Chen Feng, was also new and was completely dumbfounded.
"Hey buddy."
Chen Feng was both amused and exasperated, and stopped Qi Zixiao: "It's true that a real man should drive G-Wagon, and I want to too, I dream about it, but we haven't started work yet."
"And we have to go to a meeting soon..."
"If you'd like to test drive it, how about this: after I finish my morning meeting, I'll go with you?"
"..."
Qi Zixiao was somewhat stunned.
This is not what I expected!
She's seen it all in movies, TV series, and novels now. When characters buy cars in TV shows or novels and the main character is dressed casually, they get mocked, right?
Then, you should casually swipe your card to make the purchase, forcefully show off and slap people in the face, and then force the store manager to fire the arrogant salesperson.
So it doesn't seem like they're belittling us, huh?
I just thought we couldn't afford it, so I came to freeload a test drive, but in the end I was made to wait while he came with me?
What a kind person!
This person is really great!!!
Qi Zixiao admired it in her heart, and then...
"I'm not going to test drive!"
"You're a salesperson, right? Here, I want a G-Wagon!"
Snap!
I bought it!
Qi Zixiao wasn't against test driving, but the problem was that time was running out!
Wait until you finish your meeting?
Who knows how long your meeting will last?
Should we go for another test drive?
Why don't you just let me wait for that guy to come back and buy it myself?
Qi Zixiao was naturally unwilling to wait, so she took out her card and said, "Give me a G-Wagon."
Chen Feng was stunned. "...???"
"Dude, are you kidding me?"
He was both amused and exasperated. "I just finished my training yesterday, it's my first day at work, please don't mess with me..."
Why would I bother with you?
"I've already found a car!"
Qi Zixiao rolled her eyes. "I'll take the G-Wagon, the top-of-the-line G63 AMG, red. Do you have one in stock? Give me one, card payment, full payment, right now!"
She directly handed the card to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng was completely stunned. "Big brother, you... you're serious?"
"Are you kidding me? I said I'd pay by card, full payment, I'm in a hurry!"
"Uh... Oh oh oh!"
Chen Feng was dumbfounded.
She kept responding with "oh, oh, oh," but she really didn't know what to do. What should she do?
A moment later, watching his colleagues walk into the office one after another, he remembered the training he had experienced a few days ago and said repeatedly, "Brother, you really buy!"
"Certainly!"
"Well... why don't you negotiate a price?"
Chen Feng took a deep breath. "I will definitely do my best to give you the lowest price."
Bargaining?!
Why bother haggling? That's such a waste of time.
Qi Zixiao stiffened her neck. "I won't talk, hurry up."
Chen Feng instantly felt his head spinning. A car worth millions, no bargaining? He was an honest man, how could he possibly stand by and do that?
"Brother, why don't you tell us?"
I said I wouldn't talk about it!
"Please tell me about it."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?!"
"Quick, swipe the card! I want the red one!"
Chen Feng: "..."
Helpless, he couldn't insist any longer and had to take Qi Zixiao to swipe her card. But halfway there, he couldn't help but stop and say, "Brother, you should try to negotiate the price, otherwise I'll feel bad about it."
"Ugh, aren't you annoying?"
Qi Zixiao glared. "I already said I won't talk about it!"
Bargaining?
Do I have time to haggle?
Qi Zixiao expressed her distress.
