Chapter 340: Chapter 186: Sugar-Coated Cannonball
Lin Ping’s sudden action not only confused the staff member, but even Lin Shen was a bit baffled.
After all, the top-spec Han EV he’d bought cost less than 200,000.
It wasn’t even as high as his daily earnings.
But Lin Ping was an emotional wreck, so moved that Lin Shen could even feel the warmth against his chest.
It was obvious she was crying.
"President Lin..."
Although Lin Ping tried her best to keep her voice calm, her sobs and trembling tone betrayed the powerful emotions she felt inside.
She looked up, her vision blurry with tears, and murmured a question.
"Why would you buy a car for me?"
"I just felt like it. It’s that simple."
Lin Shen patted Lin Ping on the back soothingly.
"Everyone else is getting one, so you should have one too. This isn’t a particularly expensive car, so I hope you’re not disappointed."
"How could I ever be disappointed!"
Lin Ping smiled through her tears, her heart completely enveloped in a profound sense of bliss.
The car’s model and price didn’t matter. As long as it was a gift from Lin Shen, she would be filled with gratitude even if it were a beat-up secondhand car.
Now, Lin Ping finally understood why Lin Shen had wanted to come to the BYD dealership.
’It wasn’t because he was buying a car for himself, but for me!’
’So Lin Shen had already made my happy fantasy a reality!’
"So, what do you think of the car? Do you like it?"
"I love it!"
Lin Ping blurted it out without even needing a test drive, her gaze toward Lin Shen filled with deep, sweet affection.
If they weren’t in a public place, she would have already thrown herself at him again.
’Unfortunately, she had to endure her inner restlessness for now.’
’It wouldn’t be too late to properly thank President Lin tonight!’
"Congratulations on becoming one of our valued BYD owners."
The staff member stepped forward to shake Lin Ping’s hand warmly. He then guided her into the car and, with a smile, began explaining the various functions of the infotainment system and the new car gift package.
Only then did her mind, dazed with happiness, gradually clear, and she began to learn how to drive her new car.
Meanwhile, Lin Shen, sitting in the back seat, opened his phone and saw he had received a cashback notification.
[You have provided convenient transportation for your lover’s daughter, Anan, in line with her wishes. Cashback reward: 90,000 yuan.]
[Upgrade Mission: Increase the total value of your luxury car collection to 10,000,000 yuan. (Jaguar XFL [Owned], BYD Han EV [Owned], Mercedes S680 [On Order]: 4,780,000 / 10,000,000)]
’Still need about five million more...’
The enormous shortfall made Lin Shen start thinking to himself.
’Lin Ping’s car is taken care of. Now for my senior, the little girl, and Qingqing.’
Since Jiang Wan was a school counselor, the car she drove couldn’t be too flashy, or her colleagues would gossip behind her back.
But if it were too cheap, Lin Shen himself wouldn’t feel right about it.
Therefore, brands like BMW, Benz, and Audi, along with other well-known models, were out of the question.
After mulling it over, Lin Shen felt that only Xiaomi’s SU7 and YU7 met his requirements.
Their styling was decent and very much in line with a girl’s aesthetic taste.
Coupled with a series of small features designed for female drivers, it was definitely the perfect choice of car to give Jiang Wan.
The only problem was the long delivery time. And if he bought one from a scalper, Lin Shen would feel uneasy about it.
’Who gives a girl a second-hand gift!’
Lin Shen couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. Suddenly, an idea struck him.
He tapped the shoulder of the staff member sitting in the front passenger seat and asked curiously.
"Do you have any models from the Yangwang series on display here?"
Yangwang?
The staff member looked taken aback for a moment, then nodded instinctively.
"Yes, we do."
"Great. Take me to see them in a bit."
Lin Shen’s words made the staff member’s mind stir.
’Could he be planning to buy a Yangwang U7, U8, or even a U9?’
’You have to understand, those three models are all extremely expensive, with the cheapest starting at 700,000. It’s BYD’s sub-brand for tackling the high-end market.’
’So this young man, who looks like he’s only in his twenties, is actually this rich?’
Modu was a city of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. The staff member didn’t dare to be dismissive. He immediately called a colleague over to take Lin Shen to see the cars first, while he himself continued explaining things to Lin Ping.
"Hello, sir. I’m Xiaoli, a sales representative for Yangwang. May I ask for your surname?"
"Lin."
"Alright, Mr. Lin. Please follow me."
Led by Xiaoli, Lin Shen arrived at the Yangwang showroom.
This area was much less crowded, with only a few scattered people who didn’t look like potential buyers.
In the center of the hall were three exceptionally luxurious-looking car models.
The U9 sports car, the U8 SUV, and the U7 sedan.
Lin Shen decisively chose the U7 and asked Xiaoli to give him an introduction.
The U9 didn’t look like a daily driver. If its flamboyant, sci-fi sports car design were driven onto campus, it would probably become the center of the entire school’s attention by the next day.
Considering Jiang Wan’s low-key personality, it wasn’t suitable.
As for the U8, it was too big and didn’t match Jiang Wan’s style.
Therefore, Lin Shen was leaning more toward the U7.
"Its exterior combines the mysterious aesthetic of the Sanxingdui bronze masks with the dynamic lines of the Dunhuang murals, highlighting the confidence of our national culture."
"For handling, it uses a world-first super quad-motor system. The DiSus intelligent body control system makes it feel like you’re driving on flat ground. The four-wheel independent torque vectoring allows the U7 to perform maneuvers impossible for traditional sedans, like crabbing sideways or making a tank turn. And the PHEV version has a combined range of up to 1,000 kilometers!"
"The interior experience surpasses that of million-yuan luxury cars. The immersive Stellar Ring Cockpit has a strong sci-fi feel, and the full-scenario intelligent interaction perfectly highlights the technological advantages of an electric vehicle."
"Furthermore, its safety features are among the best in the world. Whether you’re looking at the active safety systems or the robust passive safety protections, I’m confident it will meet all your requirements."
