The person the model saw was none other than her employer, the owner of the car dealership, Guo Haozhen. "Guo Haozhen?" Su Xuan was surprised. What were the odds of running into Guo Haozhen at the Auto City? He’d last seen him when he was helping Teacher Wang with her medical issue. Back then, outside the Third City Hospital, Guo Haozhen had been driving a flashy Mercedes G63, leaving all their old classmates dumbfounded. The expert specialist at that hospital was even his uncle. Guo Haozhen had even used that same Mercedes to help him ram a few cars that were giving him trouble. A loyal guy. A true brother. "Bro Su, hold on. I’ll explain everything in a minute," Guo Haozhen said, letting go of the hand he had been shaking so enthusiastically. With a dark expression, he turned and tore into the model. "Are you fucking blind or something? Bro Su is an old classmate of mine, and a good friend! How dare you disrespect him! Get your ass off that stage right now and apologize!" The model didn’t dare make a peep. She scurried down from the platform and bowed deeply to Su Xuan. "I’m so sorry, Mr. Su. I never should have spoken to you that way. Please, you have to forgive me!" If Su Xuan didn’t forgive her, her day’s work would be for nothing. Guo Haozhen definitely wouldn’t pay her a single cent. Su Xuan, of course, wasn’t going to hold a grudge. He just smiled and told her to get back to work. "Thank you, thank you!" the model said gratefully before returning to the display platform. Guo Haozhen knew that someone of Su Xuan’s stature wouldn’t stoop to arguing with a minor employee. He grinned, pointed to the display, and explained, "Bro Su, this whole setup is mine. I own this dealership!" Su Xuan clapped Guo Haozhen on the shoulder and teased, "Old Guo, you’ve been holding out on us. You never told anyone this is what you do. Afraid your old classmates would hit you up for a discount?" Guo Haozhen gave a sheepish grin and waved his hand dismissively. "Come on, Bro Su. I did want to brag about it to our classmates, but... heh, in front of you? I wouldn’t dare." The guy s one hundred million yuan, drives a Koenigsegg, and is the boss of Kangnai... How could I possibly show off in front of him? There’s no way! "It’s no big deal. It’s not like it’s a secret," Su Xuan said. "Look, I wasn’t planning on buying this car, but now that I know it’s yours, how can I not buy it?" Guo Haozhen scratched his head. "Right, right! If you went and bought a car from someone else, I’d be genuinely upset, haha!" "That said," Su Xuan continued, "do you have anything cheaper? This one’s a little too nice. It’s not really suitable for driving for DiDi." A corner of Guo Haozhen’s mouth twitched. "Bro Su, are you serious? You really want to buy a car just to drive for DiDi?" "Mhm," Su Xuan nodded. "I quit my delivery job. This is my second day as a DiDi driver." Hearing this, Guo Haozhen’s whole face seemed to tic. He murmured, "Bro Su, compared to your life, mine feels so damn boring." "I don’t have a choice," Su Xuan replied. "I need to earn some money quickly to get married." At that, Guo Haozhen’s entire body seemed to seize up. Is he marrying some king’s daughter? He casually s a hundred million yuan to our teacher and the school! What kind of woman could he possibly not afford to marry? He has to be messing with me! I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! Guo Haozhen then asked, "Bro Su, even if you’re driving for DiDi, why buy a new car? Wouldn’t it be way more badass to use your Koenigsegg? Any passenger who got in would be totally floored. They’d never dare give you a bad review!" "I’d rather buy a cheap electric car," Su Xuan said. "It’s low-profile and good for the environment." Guo Haozhen gave Su Xuan a thumbs-up. "Bro Su, my admiration for you just keeps growing. Your whole way of thinking... I’ll never be on your level, not in a million years!" "So, Old Guo, do you have a cheaper car?" Su Xuan asked again. Guo Haozhen nodded. "We have a low-spec version of this model. No big LCD screen, no leather seats, doesn’t even come with floor mats. It’s as bare-bones as it gets. The price is only one hundred eighty thousand. Would that work for you, Bro Su?" "Perfect," Su Xuan said. "I’ll take the low-spec version." "No problem!" Guo Haozhen said. He immediately called his sales manager to come over and draw up the purchase agreement for Su Xuan on the spot. While they waited for the manager, a commotion started elsewhere at the exhibition. Another dealership’s booth had hired a troupe of scantily-clad women who had just started an energetic dance routine. They writhed on the floor, struck provocative poses, and used their bodies to put on a show. The spectacle immediately siphoned away the crowd that had been looking at cars at Guo Haozhen’s display, leaving his area practically deserted. "Sigh..." The model at Guo Haozhen’s booth sighed. With no one paying attention to her anymore, she was just posing for thin air. A profound sense of uselessness washed over her. Su Xuan glanced at Guo Haozhen. "Did you have anything like that planned?" "Of course," Guo Haozhen replied. "And mine’s a big one!" "What is it?" Su Xuan asked. Guo Haozhen lowered his voice. "A couples’ game. A kissing contest. The winning couple gets a free car!" "Aren’t you going to lose a ton of money on that?" Su Xuan asked. A sly grin touched Guo Haozhen’s lips. "I won’t lose a thing. It’s not my first time running this promotion. I also give discounts to the second-place, third-place, and even all the other participants. Most people who come to the Auto City are already thinking about buying a car, and they don’t want to participate for nothing. Chances are, they’ll use the discount I give them and buy a car on the spot. So, on the surface, it looks like I’m giving away a free car, but in reality, I’ll sell a lot more cars because of it, more than making up for the cost of the giveaway." "You’re a cunning one," Su Xuan remarked. "That’s business for you!" Guo Haozhen said with a shrug. "So why haven’t you started yet?" "No rush," Guo Haozhen said. "The second they finish dancing, I’ll make my announcement and steal their entire crowd." Two minutes later, the dance performance at the other booth ended. Guo Haozhen stood up and walked onto his own stage. He was just about to confidently launch his own event when the rival booth, without missing a beat, kicked off another promotion. A raffle! The grand prize: a free car! Second prize: a 50% purchase discount! Third prize: a 40% purchase discount! Fourth prize... Fifth prize... Their promotion was almost identical to his! "Damn it!" Guo Haozhen was stunned. He desperately shouted toward the crowd swarming the other stage, "Couples’ game! Kissing contest! The winner gets a free car...!" Follow current novels on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝙣𝙚𝙩 Nobody paid him the slightest attention. It was painfully awkward. Even his own model felt second-hand embarrassment for him. Guo Haozhen suddenly turned to Su Xuan. "Bro Su, you’re a handsome guy. Could you get on stage and pretend to play the couples’ game? Just to help me draw a crowd?" Su Xuan spread his hands. "I’m here by myself. What am I supposed to do, kiss you?" Hearing this, the model—a solid 7-out-of-10—batted her eyelashes, licked her lips, and looked at Su Xuan. "Do you think I would do...?"
