Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Steal the Deal?

Yun Zijin's decisiveness caught Hu Yi by surprise for a moment, but he quickly composed himself. "Alright, I'll go prepare the contract. Please make yourself comfortable and wait here."

Hu Yi led Yun Zijin to a sofa in the customer lounge, poured her a glass of warm water, and then rushed off to prepare the contract.

"Hello, I'm Wang Jian, our dealership's ace salesperson. Xiao Hu, who was just helping you, is tied up with something and can't get away, so he asked me to come and assist you."

Yun Zijin picked up the glass of warm water and took a sip. "Oh? You're assisting him? Then if this sale goes through, who gets the commission?"

Yun Zijin saw right through such a clumsy attempt to steal a client.

"Well... since Xiao Hu is unable to assist you for personal reasons, he will naturally have to bear the consequences himself."

Though he didn't say it outright, everyone present knew what he meant.

"That's alright. I'm not in a hurry, I can wait a while."

'These salespeople. They won't lift a finger until they're sure of a reward, but they're on it like vultures on a carcass the second they see an opportunity.'

She didn't care what other people did, but Yun Zijin had no intention of letting someone like him get the commission.

"Of course, your willingness to wait is an honor for Xiao Hu. However, as a service professional at this dealership, the one thing I cannot bear to see is a customer being kept waiting.

I've already prepared the contract. Please..."

Wang Jian took a contract out of the briefcase he was carrying and tried to hand it to Yun Zijin.

Yun Zijin didn't take it. She just sat there, quietly looking at Wang Jian.

Yun Zijin's stare made Wang Jian's skin crawl, but for the sake of the commission, he decided to press his luck. "Please, take a look. As a senior employee, I can also offer you a better discount than Xiao Hu."

'Handing over the contract directly didn't work, so I'll change my strategy. I refuse to believe anyone would turn down a discount.'

On a price tag of several million, even a mere 0.1% discount would save a significant amount. Anyone else might have already agreed.

But his bad luck was running into Yun Zijin, who only wanted to spend money and had no interest in discounts.

"Thank you, but I don't need one."

'What a joke. I finally found a car with a suitable price tag, and he wants to give me a discount? That would just make my spending mission harder. I'm definitely not taking it.'

After a long moment, Hu Yi finally came running back with the contract, his head beaded with sweat. It was clear he had been hurrying.

"Miss Yun! My apologies. The manager just pulled me aside to discuss some work matters. I'm so sorry for the wait."

Hu Yi looked rather embarrassed; his boss had called for him, so he couldn't really refuse.

However, when he saw Wang Jian standing next to Yun Zijin, his expression darkened. "Brother Wang, what are you doing here?"

He asked the question, but both of them knew perfectly well why Wang Jian was there.

"Heh... I just saw Miss Yun waiting for so long and came over to keep her company on your behalf.

Now that you're back, I won't get in your way. You two can talk."

Knowing that Yun Zijin would not become his client, Wang Jian didn't want to waste any more time there.

"Is the contract ready? Let's sign now. I have other things to do after this."

The Phantom wouldn't use up the entire six million, so Yun Zijin had just searched online for cars under a million that were suitable for women. She decided she would go check out the Porsche dealership in a bit.

"Here is the contract, prepared in triplicate. One copy for us, one for you, and one for a third-party law firm.

Please take a look. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

Yun Zijin picked up one of the copies and began to read.

'Randomly Spend can scan the contract for the Host. Would you like to proceed?'

As soon as Yun Zijin picked up the contract, the voice of Randomly Spend echoed in her mind.

'Scan it.'

'This is my first time dealing with a car purchase contract, and I was worried about getting ripped off. I had no idea Randomly Spend had a hidden contract-scanning feature.' Yun Zijin was very pleased.

'Scan complete. The contract is legal, compliant, and contains no traps. The Host may sign with confidence.'

Hearing Randomly Spend's confirmation, Yun Zijin smiled faintly. 'Good, their contract is sound. Now I won't have to waste time arguing with them.'

"There are no issues with the contract. We can sign."

With that, Yun Zijin took a pen from her purse, signed her name on the last page of the contract, and added her index fingerprint.

Hu Yi also signed his name and added his index fingerprint in the "Agent" section.

He had already gotten someone to affix the company seal when he had gone to get the contracts.

After signing the contract, Hu Yi led Yun Zijin to the cashier to settle the payment. The final on-the-road price was 5,500,000.

'I'm still 500,000 short of today's six million goal.'

"I'd also like to order a car that costs around 500,000. Do you have any recommendations?"

'Even if I have to make up a small difference myself, I have to hit the six million spending quota for today.'

"You're saying... you want to order another car?"

Hu Yi was stunned. He hadn't expected that Yun Zijin, having just spent five and a half million, would want to order another car.

Even though this price was ten times lower, it was still a huge sale for them.

"That's right. Something suitable for a woman to drive."

"In that case, I'd recommend you check out Porsche. They have a few models that are quite suitable for women.

They have one in a color called Ice Plum Powder. It's under a million and very popular with a lot of young women."

Yun Zijin's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"I'll go take a look."

Yun Zijin casually folded the contract for her five-and-a-half-million-yuan purchase, tucked it into her purse, then strode out of the Rolls-Royce dealership and headed toward the Porsche dealership.

Hu Yi had already posted in the sales group chat that Yun Zijin had just ordered a Rolls-Royce Phantom. As a result, when she walked into the Porsche dealership, she received an unprecedentedly warm welcome.

"Good afternoon, Ma'am. I'm Lilith, this dealership's top sales advisor. How can I help you?"

When faced with a major client, the sales advisor's voice became noticeably sweeter.

The moment Yun Zijin entered the Porsche dealership, her eyes were drawn to the unique color of the Ice Plum Powder model, which stood out among the many cars on display.

"That car's color is quite distinctive. What is it?"

"Ah, you must be referring to the Ice Plum Powder model. It's one of our best-sellers. Many young women are absolutely in love with it.

Would you like to take it for a test drive? I can arrange one for you right now."

The moment she heard Yun Zijin ask about the Ice Plum Powder, the sales advisor knew this deal was practically in the bag.

There was a good reason the Ice Plum Powder was so beloved by young women.

"No, that won't be necessary. Do you have this model in stock? Or is it like the other place, where I have to place an order?"

'I'm living at Xingyu Mansion now, so having a daily driver for commuting to work would be much more convenient.'

'From Xingyu Mansion, both taking the crowded subway and hailing a cab are a huge hassle. The wait is always so long.'

"You're in luck! A new one just arrived today. We haven't even announced its availability yet!

If you want it, I can speak with my manager right now and reserve this car for you."

'After all, between a guaranteed immediate sale and a merely possible one, the manager would surely know which to choose without being told.'

The Ice Plum Powder was certainly a favorite among wealthy young ladies, but there was no guarantee when it would actually be sold.

Cars can develop problems if they sit on the lot for too long, so selling them as quickly as possible was always the best strategy.
