Buying Another Car

Ling Yun's memory was photographic; he immediately recalled Manager Li's number from the 4S dealership and dialed it.

"Hello, who is this?" Manager Li asked lazily. His performance targets for the year were already met, so there was no need to grovel or deal with difficult customers.

"My surname is Ling. Manager Li, has my license plate arrived yet?"

The person on the other end recognized Ling Yun's voice and immediately perked up. This was a tycoon! "Mr. Ling, your foresight is truly remarkable. The license plate just arrived this afternoon."

"As long as it's here, just send it over now. I'm home anyway. Oh, and bring me two top-of-the-line Audis as well. Bring the contracts and be quick about it. I live at 2403, District 11, Linjiang Villa."

Manager Li was overjoyed. Two more Audis! This was his lucky day! Knowing the customer lived in a luxury villa complex, his tone changed. "Certainly, Young Master Ling. I'll arrange for someone to deliver them immediately. No, I'll go myself!"

Chen Li and Lin Qiuyan overheard Ling Yun ordering two Audis.

"Son, why are you buying so many cars? Isn't it too wasteful?"

"It's not wasteful. I have plans. One is for your classmate Chen Li, and the other will be kept at home for backup."

"What? For me? I can't accept it," Chen Li waved her hands in refusal.

"Once the hotel is established, you'll be the general manager. You can't embarrass me. It's only right that I, as the boss, get you a car."

"But, but I still can't accept it." Chen Li's attitude was firm.

"I'm the boss, and you have to listen to me. I'm not short on money."

Chen Li was speechless. Was this what they called being rich and willful?

"Mom, I know. You just want that little girl to live here comfortably, right? And with me around, you can rest assured. So, I'm saving one for Yueyan," Ling Yun said, seeing through Lin Qiuyan's thoughts.

"Oh, son, you really are my little蛔虫 (worm inside my stomach)!" Lin Qiuyan was delighted. She hadn't expected her son to be so thoughtful, guessing her intentions. It seemed he agreed.

"I agree, but she has to listen to me."

"Okay, I'll talk to her. I'll feel much more at ease with you taking care of her."

"You two continue chatting. I need to finish a few more design sketches." With that, he went to the study.

At a coffee shop in Jiangbei City

Lin Yueyan and Qianqian were drinking coffee and waiting. A little puppy sat beside them, eating ice cream, looking quite sophisticated.

"Song Song, look quickly! Yueyan is over there," Jiang Ning pointed.

"Oh, is that beautiful girl the one you went to high school with?" Gao Feifei asked Lin Yueyan.

"Yes, Feifei. Yueyan also got into Jiangbei University, so we'll be schoolmates from now on," Song Song replied.

"Look, that little kid is so cute! I have to go give her a kiss!" Jiang Ning said and ran over to kiss Qianqian.

"Why are you guys so late?" Lin Yueyan pouted.

"Oh, Yueyan, I'm so sorry. There was a bit of traffic," Song Song felt they had indeed arrived quite late.

"This little kid is so cute! Can Auntie hold you?"

"Hey, hey! You're scaring my niece!"

"Yueyan, is this your niece? You never mentioned her before."

"Aunties, who are you? Stop pinching my cheeks and kissing me!" The little one was a bit unhappy. Who were these people? Why were they pinching and kissing her as soon as they met?

"Good girl, say 'Auntie'! Auntie will give you candy," Gao Feifei enticed.

Yueyan looked at the unfamiliar girl with confusion.

"Yueyan, this is my best friend, Gao Feifei," Song Song explained.

"No, she calls me Auntie, how can she call you 'Sister'? Qianqian, call them 'Old Aunties'!"

"So, Aunties, did you bring Qianqian any gifts?" She extended her hand, looking adorable, as if she wouldn't accept anything less. The girls couldn't help but want to kiss her again.

However, they were embarrassed. They hadn't prepared any gifts, not knowing a child would be there.

"Um, Qianqian, right? Auntie didn't have time to prepare a gift. How about we go shopping later and I'll buy you something?" Jiang Ning said helplessly. This child was only a little over two years old, how could she be so sharp?

Lin Yueyan chuckled from the side, enjoying their predicament.

"Okay, but you can't lie to Qianqian," the little one said seriously in her childlike voice.

"Okay, let's pinky promise."

"Look, there's a little puppy too! I want to pet it!" Song Song suddenly noticed Little Tiger on the other side of the table.

"You're right! Did Yueyan bring it too? It's eating ice cream! It's so smart! I can't!" Gao Feifei clutched her stomach, laughing uncontrollably. It was her first time seeing a dog eat ice cream, so how could she not laugh?

After that, the girls drank coffee, chatted about recent interesting events, and occasionally teased the little puppy. They spent the entire afternoon at the coffee shop.

Manager Li personally led his team to deliver the cars to Ling Yun's villa. Two Audis were parked in the front yard, along with Ling Yun's Bentley from before. He instructed his subordinate to install the license plate on the Bentley and then went inside to find Ling Yun.

"Young Master Ling, my subordinate is installing the license plate. Shall we discuss these two Audis?"

"Mhm, you talk. I'm busy," Ling Yun said, still needing to finish his design sketches.

Chen Li and Lin Qiuyan were watching TV and chatting on the sofa, unbothered by their presence.

Manager Li didn't stand on ceremony. He explained the prices, discounts, and when the Audi license plates would be ready. Without waiting to see if Ling Yun was listening, he placed the contracts on the table.

Ling Yun signed them directly and then used his phone to transfer 2.6 million to the account number on the contract. Manager Li sighed, wishing every client was as straightforward as Young Master Ling.

As he was leaving, Manager Li told Ling Yun to contact him if he ever needed to buy more cars, assuring him that he would handle everything. He had a feeling Ling Yun would be buying more cars in the future.
