After looking around for over ten minutes, Shen Lang did not hesitate and still settled on the model he had picked out the night before.
Since Shen Lang was paying in full, he could skip the steps of using his original ID and driver's license to apply for an installment loan.
He only needed to sign a few specific contractual clauses.
He took the car for a test drive with the female salesperson in black stockings.
Finally, under the General Manager's guidance, they began signing the contract.
After ordinary customers bought a car, they might have to wait several days or up to a week for all the paperwork to be completed before they could pick up the car and choose a license plate number.
With Xia Shuyi's help, the 4S Shop also happened to have a car in stock that met Shen Lang's requirements.
After signing a series of contracts, Shen Lang successfully got his hands on this 340,000-yuan Mercedes-Benz C260L—Space-Time Silver!
After taking photos with the new car, the three of them returned to the shop and sat down again.
The General Manager enthusiastically introduced the car's features to Shen Lang, along with a few things he needed to watch out for.
This was Shen Lang's first car, so he naturally listened with rapt attention.
He was already looking forward to the sheer thrill of driving it home later, an excited smile never leaving his face.
Xia Shuyi sat beside Shen Lang, gently watching this happy young man. Her jade-like hand quietly slipped into his and held it.
Shen Lang did not refuse. He took Xia Shuyi's warm hand in his, then turned back and gave her a faint smile.
Xia Shuyi became even happier. She took the initiative to wrap herself around Shen Lang's arm, her eyes full of dependence.
Behind the three of them, several slender female salespeople in black stockings and a group of well-built male salespeople gathered together, whispering among themselves.
Judging by the female salespeople's envious yet regretful expressions, they probably thought being rich was great—you could casually snag such a high-class, handsome guy.
The male salespeople, meanwhile, felt nothing but envy, jealousy, and resentment.
It was not as though they had never seen Rich Women bring Gigolos in to buy cars.
But this Rich Woman was simply too beautiful. Both her figure and looks were the absolute best of the best, and even her voice was frighteningly gentle.
She was so much better than those bloated, greasy, gaudily bejeweled Rich Women who would slap their Gigolos around at the slightest provocation.
At the thought of this guy using a Rich Woman's money to buy a Mercedes, then perhaps going home at night to pin such a gorgeous, curvy Rich Woman beneath him and go all out, the male salespeople grew so sour with envy that their fists clenched.
"Alright, if there's anything I don't understand, I'll just contact you on WeChat."
Once the three had talked things over, Shen Lang took out his bank card and handed it to the General Manager. "Run the card. Remember to issue an invoice. It's my first time buying a car, so I need something to commemorate it."
"Um..."
The General Manager looked at the bank card Shen Lang had handed over. After hesitating for a moment, he gave Xia Shuyi a helpless smile.
"Go get busy first. Call you if there's anything."
Xia Shuyi sent the General Manager away, then held Shen Lang's hand and said, "Let's go choose a license plate number first. Once you've chosen one, you can pick up the car. We can talk about some things after we get back."
Only then did Shen Lang realize that Xia Shuyi had already paid the 300,000-plus yuan for his car!
He also finally understood why the salespeople had been looking at him so strangely. They really had taken him for a Gigolo!
Shen Lang was too embarrassed to make a fuss about it. Otherwise, the salespeople would really think he was living off a woman, then hypocritically pretending to pay the bill himself.
He could only follow behind Xia Shuyi and ask with mixed feelings, "Sister Xia, I looked it up online. Don't you have to wait until the day you pick up the car to choose the plate number?"
"That's how it works for ordinary customers."
Xia Shuyi stopped and turned around. A teasing smile hung on her exquisitely beautiful face, while her lovely eyes gleamed with playful smugness.
"But you're not an ordinary customer. For something like this, all it takes is a word."
"Sister Xia, where's your little gi—cough, cough, where's your friend?"
The General Manager's heartbeat nearly skipped a beat. The word "Gigolo" had almost slipped out. "Everything's been taken care of. The car can be driven away now, and you can go choose the plate number too."
"I'm looking for him too."
Xia Shuyi sat on the sofa, anxiously looking around. She pressed her lips together and said nervously, "He said he was going to the restroom, but he still hasn't come back. Wasn't he with you?"
The General Manager gave a wry smile. "No, Sister Xia. I was busy handling the paperwork for your friend just now."
"Could he have gone back..."
Xia Shuyi muttered in disappointment.
She suspected that she had been too presumptuous in paying for Shen Lang's car, making him feel as though he had lost face. That was probably why he had gone back.
A female salesperson came over and leaned close to the General Manager's ear to remind him quietly, "I saw him run outside just now. It looked like he went to the bank across the street."
"The bank?"
After thinking it over for a moment, the General Manager immediately smiled and reassured her, "Sister Xia, my subordinate said your friend went out. He'll be back soon."
Light immediately returned to Xia Shuyi's eyes. "Really?"
"O-of course it's true."
The general manager hurriedly nodded, grumbling inwardly, Could this kid be packing eight inches to have this woman so obsessed with him?
"He's back!"
The black-stockinged saleswoman who had accompanied Shen Lang on the test drive pointed at Shen Lang running in from outside and reminded him, "Manager, that handsome guy is back."
"Little Shen, where did you go?"
Overjoyed to have him back, Xia Shuyi hurried over and asked, "Everyone's waiting for you to pick a license plate number."
"Sorry, I went out to take care of something."
Shen Lang scratched his head with a smile and said to the general manager, "All right, let's pick the number. Once that's done, I'll take the car!"
"Looks like this Rich Woman hasn't completely gotten this kid under her thumb yet."
The general manager saw through the details at a glance.
He figured the kid had definitely gone to the bank to withdraw the money for the car and was planning to pay Xia Shuyi back later.
Gigolos who had truly been thoroughly tamed by rich women were always meek and submissive, wearing fawning smiles as they sucked up to them.
Without a rich woman's orders, they wouldn't even dare wander around.
To put it bluntly, they circled around rich women like dogs.
Unlike this handsome guy—he had gone out without saying a word, made the rich woman worry so much, and had her actively trying to please him instead.
And the truth was exactly as the general manager had guessed.
Shen Lang really had gone to the bank, opened a bank card, and deposited the money for the Mercedes into it.
After choosing the license plate number, the two got into the car.
Shen Lang handed the brand-new bank card to Xia Shuyi. "Sis, this has the money for the car. I can't just accept something this expensive from you for free."
Xia Shuyi sat in the passenger seat of the new car, happily fastening her seat belt. She had even been eagerly looking forward to having Shen Lang drive her around in it.
But the bank card he held out instantly drained the color from her eyes.
She didn't take the card. Instead, she asked dejectedly, "Little Shen, do you think I'm old too? That I've become ugly and aged?"
