Payment

Su Ye was stunned when he heard that Xiao Xiao planned to give him a sports car as payment.

Honestly, what man didn't like sports cars? Su Ye was no exception. He had thought about buying one to drive around in, but after considering his future and feeling his wallet, he had resisted!

"No, how can I accept this?" Su Ye said.

Seeing that Su Ye insisted, Xiao Xiao said to him again:

"Actually, I was going to give you twenty million as payment, but I was afraid you'd find it too tacky, so I came up with another way. Besides, that sports car is only worth a few million. When you put it that way, you're the one losing out."

"Twenty million? Am I worth that much?" Su Ye exclaimed.

Xiao Xiao looked at him, at a loss for words. "What else? Did you think Grandmaster experts were a dime a dozen?"

"Even if you offered other Grandmasters a hundred million, they might not lift a finger, let alone work as bodyguards or hired muscle!"

The fog surrounding Su Ye only grew thicker in Xiao Xiao's mind. How could this guy possess such abilities yet know nothing about the martial arts world? Could he really be the heir of a secluded sect who had just entered the world, as her dad had said?

Hearing that Grandmasters could make money so easily, Su Ye immediately had the idea of earning money as someone's hired muscle, but he snuffed it out just as quickly. If he offended a Great Grandmaster one day, wouldn't he be finished? Better to keep a low profile and grow stronger than get carried away.

"Do you want the twenty million or a car? You choose!" Xiao Xiao asked, staring at Su Ye with the hint of a smile.

"Then... let's go!"

Asked like that, Su Ye was too embarrassed to choose the twenty million. He had only gone to Myanmar with Xiao Xiao in the first place because he wanted to get out and see the world!

Before long, Xiao Xiao led Su Ye into a car dealership.

Compared with the dealership where Su Ye had bought his car before, this one was clearly more than a few grades above it.

The storefront alone was several times the size of the other one.

When a young saleswoman saw Su Ye and Xiao Xiao enter, she immediately came over with a smile and asked:

"Hello, sir, ma'am. What kind of car are you looking for?"

Honestly, the cars on display here all cost at least a million. As long as the salespeople sold one, they would earn at least a hundred thousand or more in commission, so they were eager to help every customer. Most of the people who came here were either rich or influential, and they didn't dare offend them.

Of course, with commissions this good, there were standards for the employees' figures and looks. Pick any salesperson here, and they would be a campus belle or heartthrob in their university department.

"No need. I've made an appointment with your manager!" Xiao Xiao turned and told the saleswoman.

"All right, then!"

Hearing that they were friends of the manager, the saleswoman tactfully walked away.

"Let's go!" Xiao Xiao turned back and said to Su Ye.

"Oh, okay!"

Su Ye followed Xiao Xiao to an office on the second floor. The door was open!

Knock, knock, knock!

Xiao Xiao gave the door a perfunctory knock.

"Come in!"

A beautiful woman was sitting in front of the computer in the office, absorbed in looking at the screen. She spoke without raising her head!

Xiao Xiao and Su Ye entered the office. The beautiful manager saw that Xiao Xiao had arrived, and was a little surprised to see a young man standing beside her. Then she rose warmly to her feet and said:

"Well, if it isn't my gorgeous Xiao Xiao! What's this? Aren't you going to introduce us?"

"This is Su Ye, my current business partner! And this is Li Wanjun, a very good friend of mine!"

Xiao Xiao introduced them to each other.

"Oh, hello, hello!"

Li Wanjun warmly held out her right hand.

"Hello, Miss Wanjun!"

Su Ye politely held out his right hand as well and shook hers.

"Have a seat. Oh, what would you like to drink?" Li Wanjun asked Su Ye and Xiao Xiao.

"Coffee!"

Xiao Xiao said without hesitation.

"I'll have coffee too!" Seeing Li Wanjun turn her gaze toward him, Su Ye answered.

Li Wanjun then took two cups to the drinks machine and brought them each a cup of coffee.

Li Wanjun looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five and around 1.7 meters tall. She wore a black business suit, and her long, straight black hair fell over her shoulders. She wore light makeup, and her bright eyes were like a pool of clear spring water!

"Is that car I told you about yesterday still here?" Xiao Xiao asked Li Wanjun as she drank her steaming coffee.

"It is. But why would a woman like you want to drive that car?" Li Wanjun asked curiously.

"When did I say I wanted to drive it?" Xiao Xiao asked in return.

"Then what do you want it for? Don't tell me..." Hearing Xiao Xiao say the car wasn't for her to drive, Li Wanjun looked at Su Ye and froze!

"I relied entirely on Su Ye to protect me when I went to Myanmar to buy jade this time. Otherwise, you might never have seen me again! So, of course, I'm giving the car to Su Ye as payment for this trip," Xiao Xiao said calmly, taking a sip of coffee.

"What? You were in danger?" Li Wanjun asked, her eyes wide.

"Yes. I'm telling you, it was thanks to Su Ye that I came back safe and sound without suffering any losses," Xiao Xiao said to Li Wanjun, sneaking a glance at Su Ye.

"I couldn't tell that little brother Su Ye was a martial arts expert!" Li Wanjun looked him up and down in disbelief.

Under her unblinking gaze, Su Ye scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said:

"I know a little... just a little..."

The three chatted for a while longer before leaving the office and heading to the showroom on the first floor.

They came to the innermost part of the showroom, where almost all the cars were supercars. Ferraris, Maseratis, Lamborghinis-they could be seen everywhere!

Finally, Li Wanjun led Su Ye and Xiao Xiao to a sports car draped in a black cover and stopped.

"This one?" Xiao Xiao asked.

"Mm, it's the only one of this model in our store!"

With that, Li Wanjun called two people over to pull the cover off.

A silver supercar sat quietly before them, like a fierce beast poised to strike.

"A Porsche 918. It goes from zero to a hundred kilometers per hour in under three seconds and has a top speed of 345 kilometers per hour!"

Li Wanjun explained from the side.

"We're old friends, so how about a flat price of 999?"

Li Wanjun looked at Xiao Xiao as she asked.

"Okay, we'll take it!"

With that, she took Li Wanjun to settle the bill without even asking Su Ye's opinion!

Half an hour later, Su Ye slowly drove the Porsche 918 out of the dealership, with Xiao Xiao following closely behind in her own car!

After saying goodbye to Xiao Xiao, Su Ye drove the supercar toward Jiuhua Village. He attracted plenty of attention along the way; after all, the silver sports car was simply too eye-catching.

When Su Ye arrived home, he found that neither of his parents was there.

Could they be over at the vegetable garden? Su Ye wondered to himself.
