Chapter 27: It's None of Your Business
Yang Jingsheng and Luo Haiyang returned to the Porsche 4S dealership.
As soon as they entered, the manager approached and asked, "Luo Haiyang, what happened with those two customers? Why did you drive them away?"
Yang Jingsheng's outburst had been quite loud, even catching the manager's attention. The manager had been in his office on the second floor and had come out just in time to see Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin leaving.
The manager wanted to understand the situation and why Luo Haiyang had driven them away. He was worried that if they complained or spread rumors online about the dealership mistreating them, it could become troublesome and potentially turn into a crisis.
"It's like this..." Luo Haiyang explained the situation, with Yang Jingsheng adding details from the side.
"You said that they went to the Maserati dealership next door?" the manager inquired.
"Yes, after we drove those two away, they went to the Maserati dealership. Nobody there knows they're just taking pictures to show off; they might succeed over there." Yang Jingsheng chuckled.
The manager nodded thoughtfully, not saying much, and walked out of the dealership to look toward the Maserati 4S dealership.
"Luo Haiyang, what is your manager doing?" Yang Jingsheng asked.
"I don't know, maybe he wants to verify the situation. Anyway, let's go. I'll take you to my office; I have a lot of work to do." Luo Haiyang replied.
Luo Haiyang led Yang Jingsheng to his office.
Meanwhile, Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin had entered the Maserati 4S dealership, where an enthusiastic female salesperson greeted them. Since they had selected and test-driven the Maserati Quattroporte, they had decided to make the purchase.
The manager of the Porsche dealership, standing outside, noticed the female salesperson approaching Xu Yang with contract documents, indicating that they were about to finalize the purchase. It made the manager furrow his brow and thought, 'Could they be buying a car? They're signing a contract?'
The manager from the Porsche dealership wasn't certain, but he had some acquaintances in that dealership. He approached one of them to inquire. Upon learning that Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin had indeed bought a car, the Maserati Quattroporte, in the top configuration with many luxury accessories, totaling 2.3 million yuan, and they were paying in full, the manager's face darkened.
The manager returned to the Porsche 4S dealership and had one of the salespeople fetch Luo Haiyang.
Luo Haiyang soon appeared, followed by Yang Jingsheng. It was nearing lunchtime, and Yang Jingsheng didn't want to stay in Luo Haiyang's office. He wanted some fresh air and smoke.
"Sir, what's the matter?" Luo Haiyang asked as he noticed the manager's unpleasant expression and couldn't help but feel a bit anxious. He didn't know what had gone wrong and he was certain he hadn't done anything wrong.
"Those two customers you drove away just bought a car at the Maserati dealership," the manager said with a grim face.
"What? How is that possible?" Luo Haiyang hadn't spoken yet, but Yang Jingsheng exclaimed.
The manager gave Yang Jingsheng a sidelong glance but didn't say anything. Yang Jingsheng wasn't an employee of the dealership, so he wasn't under his jurisdiction.
Luo Haiyang hurriedly explained, "Sir, my friend said they were just here to take photos and show off. Are you sure there's no mistake?"
The manager sneered, "I saw the salesperson over there hand the contract to the man and saw him sign it. Do you think I made a mistake? I even asked my friend over there, and he confirmed that those two indeed bought a car, the top-of-the-line Maserati Quattroporte, fully loaded, totaling 2.3 million yuan."
Yang Jingsheng screamed, "It's impossible! I don't believe it. How could they possibly afford a Maserati Quattroporte? That's 2.3 million yuan! Where could they get that much money?"
Yang Jingsheng refused to believe that Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin had the means to buy a car like that and paid in full. He couldn't understand where Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin got such a large sum of money.
Luo Haiyang's expression became gloomy. He had driven away potential customers who, based on their purchase of the Maserati Quattroporte, could have easily bought a Porsche worth two to three million yuan. In other words, he had lost a major client.
Thinking about that, Luo Haiyang looked at Yang Jingsheng with a hint of blame in his eyes.
Yang Jingsheng desperately tried to defend, "Haiyang, you can't blame me for this. I'm sure they don't have the money. I can't believe they can afford a Maserati Quattroporte."
"Are you saying that I'm blind?" the manager sneered. "And my friend over there lied to me?"
"No," Luo Haiyang shook his head. "There must be something wrong. I'll go and take a look."
Luo Haiyang ran over and entered the Maserati 4S dealership. He ignored the salespeople who were waiting for him and went straight to the rest area in front of Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin.
Xu Yang had already signed the contract and he could drive the car away after the procedures were completed. It would be done very quickly. According to the salesperson, it would only take about an hour and it was about time now. Then, Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin frowned when they saw Yang Jingsheng appear in front of them. However, neither of them spoke.
"Xu Yang, did you buy a car?" Yang Jingsheng asked.
"I bought it," Xu Yang said lightly.
"What car did you buy? The Maserati Quattroporte and it was paid a full amount of 2.3 million?" Yang Jingsheng asked.
"Yeah, how did you know?" Xu Yang asked as he was a little puzzled.
"I know very well what kind of family background the two of you have. I also know very well about your jobs. You don't have much money, so how could you have the money to buy the Maserati Quattroporte?" Yang Jingsheng asked as his face turned ugly.
"Is it even your concern?" Xu Yang said indifferently. "You aren't going to say something like we have money, and it's related to you, right? Are you going to claim that Zhao Yuxin is related to you too?"
By the end of his statement, Xu Yang had a mocking smile on his face.
"You!" Yang Jingsheng couldn't possibly say such shameless things. Even if he did, they wouldn't pay him any attention.
"Do you have any other business here? If not, please step aside. I don't want to hear you shouting in front of me. I came here to buy a car, not to listen to a fly buzzing around. I'm a customer here now. If you don't have a valid reason to make a commotion in front of me, I can have the security escort you out," Xu Yang said calmly.
"You... You're quite something!" Yang Jingsheng's face turned pale with anger.
Fortunes can change quickly. Just a while ago, Yang Jingsheng had driven Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin away from the Porsche 4S dealership. Now, they were driving him away.
Yang Jingsheng didn't want to make a fool of himself here, so he left dejectedly.
Back at the Porsche 4S dealership's entrance, the manager asked, "So, is it true?"
Though Luo Haiyang trusted the manager's account, there was still a hint of doubt in his mind. He replied solemnly, "It's true. They bought a Maserati Quattroporte."
"It's true." Yang Jingsheng replied as his face turned even more unpleasant.
