Chapter 402: Chapter 204: Porsche Panamera and the Blues
"Hello, sir and maâam. Which Porsche model are you interested in?"
As Zhao Rui approached with a welcoming smile, Lin Shen glanced around the empty showroom and asked curiously,
"Are you guys about to close?"
"We donât close as long as there are customers."
Zhao Rui gave a slight, elegant bow, her sincerity palpable.
Lin Shen was quite pleased with her service and quipped,
"Then if I donât end up ordering a car, wonât all this be for nothing?"
"Everyone who walks through our doors is a potential Porsche client. Thereâs no such thing as wasted effort."
Zhao Rui chuckled lightly.
"Whether or not you buy a car has no real bearing on me introducing you to Porsche."
"Alright, then."
Seeing Zhao Ruiâs earnest and sincere work ethic, Lin Shen decided to give her the sale.
"Letâs go. Iâm placing an order."
?
Zhao Rui froze, clearly not understanding what Lin Shen meant. She asked cautiously,
"When you say âplacing an order,â you mean..."
"Iâd like to order a Panamera."
Huh?
Seeing Lin Shenâs smiling face, Zhao Ruiâs mouth fell slightly agape, her expression one of utter shock.
"Donât you want to sit inside one and take a look? Or I could arrange a test drive for you..."
"Itâs not too late to look after I buy it."
âBesides, Iâm not the one whoâll be driving it. Whatâs there for me to see?â
Lin Shen glanced at Zheng Yanfei, who stood beside him covering her mouth with one hand in shock, and thought to himself.
âBesides, does a model as classic as the Porsche Panamera even need an introduction?â
âEveryone knows the basic configuration. Itâs just a facelift with a few things added on.â
âIâm ordering the badge, not the car.â
Seeing that Zhao Rui remained frozen, Lin Shen teased,
"Donât you have a VIP room for the configuration process?"
"We... we do! This way, please!"
Zhao Rui was so excited she was almost incoherent. She hurriedly bowed respectfully, made a welcoming gesture, and her gentle voice was filled with apology.
"Iâm sorry, sir. Youâre my very first client since joining Porsche, so I got a bit excited and spaced out for a moment. Thank you for your business! Thank you so much!"
"Looks like we were fated to meet, then."
Lin Shen teased.
"Youâre also the salesperson for my first Porsche."
"Really? In that case, welcome to the family of esteemed Porsche owners."
Zhao Rui congratulated him from the bottom of her heart.
Although Lin Shen hadnât placed the order yet, she had a feeling this young man wasnât just all talk.
He absolutely had the means and the capital to back it up!
Not far away, Zhang Na caught sight of Zhao Rui leading Lin Shen and Zheng Yanfei toward the elevators. She froze for a second, then her brow furrowed as she walked over and chided her.
"Zhao, donât you know the rules? First, you show the client the car. You only go to the second floor if they intend to place an order. You canât just take anyone up there."
"This gentleman has already decided to place an order."
Zhang Na blinked, utterly stunned by Zhao Ruiâs explanation.
Huh?
âHeâs already decided to place an order?â
âDidnât they just walk into the store?â
âHe didnât look at the car, couldnât even be bothered to listen to the introduction, and now heâs placing an order immediately?â
Lin Shenâs actions made Zhang Na come to a sudden, startling realization, and she was filled with extreme regret.
âLooks like I missed out on a massive sale just because I thought it was too much trouble!â
âBut who could have possibly guessed!â
âA rich heir whoâd place an order on the spot actually walked in right before closing time!â
âThe guy must be seriously loaded!â
Zhang Na secretly sized up Lin Shen.
A handsome face with a hint of roguish charm, a tall and robust physique, plus an aura that was frankly intimidating.
One could tell just from his appearance that he came from a very wealthy family.
âAnd besides, isnât that an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak on his left wrist?â
âAs a Porsche salesperson, Zhang Na knew her luxury brands. She estimated that watch alone had to be worth four or five hundred thousand!â
She didnât want to miss out on such a "prime" client, so she put on a polite smile, intending to intercept the sale before Zhao Rui could close it.
"Why donât I take you to the VIP room? Zhao is new and still isnât familiar with everything."
"Thatâs not necessary."
As someone who had navigated the trenches of the corporate world, Lin Shen saw right through the phony collegial relationship between Zhang Na and Zhao Rui.
âTrying to steal a client from the newbie already?â
Lin Shen snorted with contempt internally. He rejected Zhang Na with an indifferent expression, then gave Zhao Rui an opening to pick up the conversation.
"Do you not know where the VIP room is?"
"I do! Please, follow me."
Zhao Rui quickly led Lin Shen and Zheng Yanfei into the elevator, which made Zhang Na clench her fists tightly. She stomped her foot lightly, her heart flooding with intense jealousy and vexation.
âThat fucking bitch just got the deal of a lifetime!â
âIf Iâd known the client was that rich, I would have taken him myself!â
âThis is so infuriating!â
ââ
"Brother."
They were on the second floor of the Porsche Center, where the serene environment exuded an air of luxury and prestige.
Exiting the elevator, Zheng Yanfei linked her arm with Lin Shenâs and followed behind Zhao Rui, whispering,
"Are you buying this car for yourself, or for Director Nan?"
Hm?
âThe little girl still remembers Nan?â
Lin Shen hadnât expected that, and he teased her in return.
"Why the director, and not your student advisor, or a younger sister who just started college?"
"Because you, Brother, are so worldly-wise. You definitely wouldnât buy a Porsche for them."
Zheng Yanfei analyzed with surprising clarity.
"A student advisor is a school employee. If she drove a Porsche, people would gossip, and her superiors would call her in for a âtalk.â Vicious rumors, after all, spare no one."
"As for a little sister whoâs just started college, if she drove a Porsche, her dorm mates would definitely be pointing fingers behind her back, saying sheâs a kept woman. I have firsthand experience with that!"
Zheng Yanfei said, puffing out her cheeks.
"The last time I got out of your car, Brother, all these rumors about me started spreading among the students. It was infuriating!"
