"Hello... hello, may I ask if you're here to buy a car?"

One of the female salespeople standing closer to the entrance immediately asked when she saw Lin Chen walk in.

However, her stammering made Lin Chen frown slightly.

After all, salespeople were supposed to speak smoothly. How could she stutter like that?

But after giving it some thought, he understood.

After all, he had arrived in a three-hundred-million-yuan supercar and was now entering a Volkswagen 4S dealership to make a purchase. It was only natural for people to be nervous around him.

"Mm, I want to buy a Volkswagen. The price doesn't matter, but I have one requirement."

"It has to be as low-key as possible. Of course, it would be even better if it was comfortable to sit in."

"Alright, please... please follow me. I'll introduce some models to you."

With that, the saleswoman led Lin Chen farther inside.

But as they walked deeper into the dealership, he noticed something.

At that moment, everyone in the 4S dealership, men and women alike, was looking at him with strange expressions.

From their gazes, Lin Chen could tell that they held no hostility toward him. There was only... admiration and envy?

It seems the power of a three-hundred-million-yuan supercar really is extraordinary. Its intimidation toward ordinary people is especially beyond what I imagined.

Lin Chen murmured to himself, becoming even more convinced that coming to a Volkswagen 4S dealership to buy an ordinary commuter car today had been an extremely wise decision.

Otherwise, he really would have stolen Cheng Gang's spotlight tonight.

"Sir, this Phaeton is currently the most low-key Volkswagen model in our dealership."

"Not only is it understated, but it's also very comfortable. Does it meet your requirements?"

Lin Chen listened to the saleswoman's introduction while walking around the car and inspecting it from front to back.

Afterward, he opened the door and sat inside to experience it for himself, then nodded in satisfaction.

"Mm, not bad. I'll take this one."

As he spoke, he took out his ICBC bank card and handed it to the saleswoman in front of him.

His meaning was obvious. He wanted to pay by card.

Yet it was precisely this scene that shocked all the salespeople present.

This Phaeton was the top-of-the-line trim for this model, with a price tag of more than three million yuan.

At such an exorbitant price, he had not even asked about it and was directly swiping his card to place the order?

As expected of a top-tier Super Tycoon who drove a three-hundred-million-yuan supercar. He was truly incredible.

"This..."

After hearing Lin Chen's words, the saleswoman receiving him was also greatly surprised.

She truly had not expected the man before her to buy a car so quickly, without the slightest hesitation.

It was as if he were buying an onion from a roadside stall. It was simply unbelievable.

Although she knew that the man before her could definitely afford this Phaeton worth more than three million yuan with ease.

To avoid any later disputes, however, she still had to make certain things clear in advance.

"Sir, this Phaeton is the top trim in our dealership and costs as much as 3.7 million yuan."

"Are you sure you want to swipe your card right away?"

"Oh? It costs 3.7 million yuan?"

Lin Chen was slightly surprised.

Although he did not know much about supercar prices, he had heard a little about the pricing of Volkswagen cars.

Ordinary Volkswagens usually fell within the range of one to two hundred thousand yuan, and at most, they might go beyond four hundred thousand.

Yet this car called the Phaeton actually cost a full 3.7 million yuan.

It had to be said that this truly exceeded Lin Chen's understanding.

Still, he was only slightly surprised upon hearing the price. Other than that, there was nothing more to it.

To others, 3.7 million yuan might have been an astonishing amount, but to Lin Chen, it was barely worth mentioning.

After all, there was still a full three billion yuan in cash sitting in his ICBC bank account.

Sure enough, even a rich man couldn't possibly buy a 3.7-million-yuan car as casually as an onion.

Good thing I had the Mind's Eye to tell him beforehand. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome if a dispute arose later.

Seeing Lin Chen's slightly surprised expression, the saleswoman inwardly rejoiced at how wise she had been.

However, just as she was secretly congratulating herself, Lin Chen's voice suddenly rang out.

It was this very voice that made everyone present widen their eyes in utter amazement.

"A Volkswagen worth 3.7 million yuan did surprise me a little, but it was only a surprise."

"This amount of money really is nothing to me. Go ahead and swipe the card without worry."

As he spoke, Lin Chen once again handed over the ICBC bank card in his hand.

At that moment, although everyone had already known that Lin Chen would buy it, they had never expected things to turn out this way.

"He actually said 3.7 million yuan was nothing to him? As expected of a big shot who can drive a three-hundred-million-yuan supercar."

"Yeah. If it were an ordinary person, forget 3.7 million—even spending one million yuan on a Volkswagen would take half a day of consideration."

"That's true. With 3.7 million yuan, you could already buy a Ferrari sports car, yet he used it to buy a Volkswagen. This is simply unbelievable."

"Though it's hard to believe, the facts are right in front of us."

"Besides, if he can afford to use a three-hundred-million-yuan car as transportation, who knows how wealthy he truly is?"

"Exactly. Given his net worth, a car worth a mere few million yuan probably really is just pocket change to him."

Just as everyone was shocked by Lin Chen's actions.

The saleswoman had finally finished swiping the card.

Even now, she remained deeply shaken.

This was a full 3.7 million yuan, spent merely to buy a Volkswagen?

It had to be said that the thoughts of the wealthy were beyond the understanding of ordinary people like them.

"Sir, your card has been processed."

"This Phaeton belongs to you from this moment onward."

Taking back the bank card handed over by the saleswoman, Lin Chen nodded and said, "Thank you."

"Oh, right. I actually have another request. I wonder if your 4S dealership can accommodate it?"

"Please tell me, sir. As long as it is within the capabilities of our 4S dealership, we will do our best to fulfill any request."

"Don't be nervous. It's not a big deal."

"I just bought a new car, so could I trouble you to use a large truck to transport the sports car parked outside to my residence?"

"This..."

To be honest, when the saleswoman heard Lin Chen's words, ten thousand alpacas galloped through her heart.

At the same time, she thought, You want us to transport a three-hundred-million-yuan supercar to your residence? And that's not a big deal?! What kind of thing counts as a big deal to you, then?!

"Sir, we may not be able to fulfill this request... after all, your car is far too valuable."

"Forget our Volkswagen 4S dealership—even the 4S dealership for your car's own brand probably wouldn't dare take on this job."

"If it got scratched or bumped even a little, ordinary people like us couldn't afford the repair costs even if we sold ourselves."

The saleswoman voiced her true feelings. Of course, she did not think Lin Chen would become angry.

After all, the car truly was far too valuable. Even if some wealthy big shots in Zhonghai were asked to transport it, they would probably have the intention but not the courage.
