CHAPTER 186: CHAPTER 186 SURPRISED

Hearing this, Xia Weiguo shook his head. "No, they’re all perfectly to my taste."

The young saleswoman was momentarily stunned before her sweet smile returned. "Then, sir, if there’s anything at all about my service that isn’t to your liking, please tell me. I’ll be sure to correct it."

Seeing this, Luu Juan, who was standing nearby, couldn’t take it anymore. "Listen, young lady, we’re here to buy a car. You’ve brought us tea and snacks, and the service has been wonderful, but we haven’t even seen a single car yet."

At these words, the young saleswoman was clearly taken aback. Like Tiantian, she’d assumed the older couple was just here to pay the bill. But since they had spoken up, she had no choice but to nod. "Alright then, sir, ma’am, I’ll take you to see the cars right away."

"Excellent, excellent!" Father Xia nodded, satisfied. This is the manager’s staff, after all.

The saleswoman led the couple to Tiantian. "Manager, the gentleman and his wife would also like to see the cars."

"Oh, I understand." Although Tiantian was smiling, she felt a pang of disappointment. Separating the younger and older family members was a deliberate strategy. Young people focused on looks, while older people focused on price. When families came to buy a car together, arguments were almost guaranteed. A son would love a car that his father found far too expensive. Her original plan had been to let Xia Liang look first, then she would whisper a few incentives in his ear to close the deal. But now, that seemed unlikely.

Still, Tiantian put her professional skills on full display, introducing the price, discounts, and benefits that came with each car. The most surprising moment came when she described a car costing over a million. The expressions of the four of them didn’t so much as twitch, as if the amount was insignificant.

When they reached a black car, Father Xia suddenly stopped. "Son, what do you think of this one?"

"This one?" Xia Liang looked at the car, his lips twitching involuntarily. "How about we look at something else?"

Beside him, Luu Qi was desperately trying to stifle his laughter, turning his head away.

This time it was Tiantian’s turn to be stunned. What is wrong with this young man? His parents are picking out a fantastic car for him, the most popular model right now, and he’s not happy with it?

Xia Weiguo, however, paid him no mind and gently patted the hood. "I think this one is great. It’s big, impressive, and looks like it can carry a lot."

"Exactly!" Although Tiantian didn’t quite understand what was happening, she stepped forward to begin her pitch. "Sir, you have excellent taste. This is the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the AMG G 63 Shadow Wing Special Edition. It’s also known as the ’G-Wagen.’ The on-the-road price is just 2.6 million..."

Xia Weiguo nodded in satisfaction as Tiantian spoke. This was precisely why Xia Liang wanted a different car and why Luu Qi was laughing. As the saying goes: Playboys drive the G-Wagen, playgirls drive the Mercedes E-Class, and manipulative girls drive the Audi A7. Xia Weiguo, of course, was oblivious to all this; he just genuinely liked the car. It just goes to show, a man is a boy at heart until the day he dies.

Tiantian continued her introduction for a while, but Xia Liang ultimately vetoed the choice. "Dad, the exhaust pipe is right under the door. Someone could easily burn themselves getting out of the car."

For older people, safety was obviously more important than anything else. As soon as Xia Liang pointed this out, Xia Weiguo immediately shook his head. "Then forget about it."

He didn’t want to have to pay for his fishing buddies’ medical bills on top of giving them a ride.

Standing to the side, Tiantian was dumbfounded. She stared at Xia Liang in disbelief. Dude, they’re buying this car for *you*! I went to all this trouble to sell it to your dad. If you’d rejected it because it was too expensive, that would be one thing! But your dad didn’t even blink at the price; he looked ready to pay and drive it off the lot right now. And you killed the deal with a single sentence? Do you even want a car? Aren’t all you young guys supposed to love the G-Wagen? Tiantian’s mind was reeling with a million questions.

In all her time as a salesperson, she had never encountered a situation like this. Could it be that he wanted something even more expensive? But the next tier up was over three million. For a young guy like him, it would make more sense to add a bit more money and buy a Ferrari. That was a true supercar, far cooler than any Mercedes.

For a moment, Tiantian was completely stumped. Steeling herself, she led them onward. "This is the Mercedes S65 AMG. It’s our top-of-the-line model, priced at 3.21 million..."

As Tiantian was making her introduction, it was Xia Liang’s turn to speak up. "Dad, I think this one is quite nice. What do you think?"

Xia Weiguo looked it over. "It’s not as imposing as the last one, but I’d say it’s fine."

Hearing this, Tiantian’s heart leaped with joy. So that’s it! The young man just wanted a more expensive car! As for why he wouldn’t just buy a supercar for the same price, she pushed the thought aside. Maybe he was just a die-hard Mercedes fan.

Deciding not to overthink it, Tiantian pulled open the car door and made the invitation. "Would you like to get in and have a feel for it? You can check out the interior at the same time."

"Sure!" Xia Weiguo agreed immediately, getting into the driver’s seat to get a feel for the car.

Tiantian was stunned again. She had meant for Xia Liang to get in, but Xia Weiguo had sat down instead. Wait a second! At that moment, Tiantian suddenly realized what was wrong. Maybe this isn’t a case of parents buying a car for their son. It’s... the father is buying a car for himself, and he just wanted his son’s opinion! That explains all the strange and illogical moments! At this thought, Tiantian nearly slapped herself. I almost lost a huge sale!

Now that she understood, Tiantian quickly chimed in with encouragement. "Ma’am, why don’t you sit in the passenger seat and try it out?"

"Alright!" Since she’d be the one riding in it, Luu Juan got in as well. "Not bad, it’s very comfortable! The seat and the backrest are so soft!"

Xia Weiguo was also pleased, and his wife found the seat comfortable. "Can we take it for a test drive?"

Tiantian answered without a moment’s hesitation. "Of course!" Are you kidding me? They were one step away from closing the deal. If I say no now, they might just walk away. Special circumstances call for special treatment! I have to make this happen, no matter what!

Tiantian immediately started making arrangements for Xia Weiguo’s test drive. Even though it was a new car, Xia Weiguo was a veteran driver with sixteen years of experience. The drive was smooth and stable. He drove around for a bit, satisfied with the car’s performance in every aspect, before heading back to the Mercedes dealership.

Getting out of the car, Xia Weiguo announced with a grand wave of his hand, "We’ll take this one!"

"Excellent, sir!" With Xia Weiguo’s decision made, Tiantian could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She led the family back inside the showroom, pulled out the purchase agreement, and asked thoughtfully, "Sir, will you be paying in full or in installments? For installments, we support..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Xia Liang cut her off. "In full."

"Very good!" A little disappointing, but okay! Tiantian readily agreed.
