She has a husband.

His Adam's apple bobbed violently, his breath suddenly stopped, and his chest felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, his fingertips turning white from the force. The light in his eyes dimmed instantly, like a candle flame being extinguished.

"How could that be? She only graduated a little over a year ago!"

Zhao Xiangjun said seriously, "When fate arrives, it will happen very quickly. Alright, that's enough. Go find your next relationship. Don't bother her anymore. This is for her own good."

For her own good? Gao Lei understood Zhao Xiangjun's meaning: if she liked He Qing, and since He Qing had a husband, he should offer his blessings.

But he didn't want to offer his blessings. How could He Qing be with another man? Who else but him could be worthy of her?

"No, I won't give up. He Qing, I'm successful now. My company has an annual output value of over 10 billion yuan, and it will reach 2 billion or even 20 billion yuan by the end of this year. I've also established contact with the young boss of Huadi Group. Once we cooperate, my company will have the opportunity to go public within 30 years. I can give you all the happiness that no one else can give you."

Zhao Xiangjun was displeased. "How can you be like this? I've already told you she has a husband. What you're doing is just adding to her troubles. Fine, I don't want to talk to someone like you anymore."

After saying that, she turned and left. He Qing never looked at Gao Lei. She didn't like or even hate him back then. Now that she had Chen Xiao, she was even less likely to give him the slightest chance or let him mistakenly believe he had one.

Gao Yue glanced at He Qing, thinking to herself, "As expected, she's been certified by the Crown Prince. She directly says Chen Xiao is her husband. This treatment is amazing—"

Thinking back to how Li Xiao dared to complain about her, little did he know that she held a very important place in the hearts of Chen Xiao and Zhao Xiangjun. Why did he go and provoke her? In the end, she didn't even have to do anything, and he was already out of the game.

Gao Lei was not about to give up. He took a step to catch up, but Yan Yue grabbed him and threw him backward. He staggered and finally sat down on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Yan Yue's strength was just right, not enough to hurt him. After all, he wasn't a bad person, just a fool who thought he was "devoted" to love.

Zhang Bin came over and helped Gao Lei up. Just then, he saw Zhao Xiangjun and He Qing get into the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Only then did the two realize that He Qing had come in this car and that she really was in Xishan Linyu.

Gao Lei couldn't understand who this group of people were, or why He Qing was with them. The stunningly beautiful woman said He Qing had a husband, and her expression didn't seem to be lying. Gao Lei felt like his heart was being torn apart, yet he refused to give up. He had been stubborn for so many years; letting go wasn't so easy, especially since he felt that only he could give He Qing happiness.

Seeing this, Cha Lan pointed at Gao Lei and said to General Manager Liu beside him, "See? Stay away from this kind of idiot. Anyone who gets involved with him is doomed."

Mr. Liu felt a chill run down his spine. If his boss knew that Gaoda Technology Electronics was supported by orders from Zhifei Aerospace, he wondered if he would strangle him. He didn't know why Mr. Cha said that, but he guessed it was related to those people from earlier. He didn't recognize the woman named He Qing, but he knew Mr. Xu, his former boss and current CEO of Junxiao Group. And she wasn't even the center of attention in this group. One could imagine how intimidating the person who spoke must be.

He personally witnessed how cautious and timid Mr. Cha was when he spoke to that person. He didn't seem like the boss of a company with a value of tens of billions at all. He was no longer Mr. Cha; he was just a "little Mr. Cha."

He secretly thought that he should stay away from Gao Lei in the future, and find a reason to stop the project with Gaoda Electronics Technology as soon as possible, otherwise Gao Lei would not only be in trouble one day, but he would also get splattered with blood.

Cha Lan turned around and went back to find Hassan. General Manager Liu was still sitting in his original spot when Gao Lei came over to him, startling General Manager Liu so much that he stood up abruptly. "What are you doing?"

He kept glancing at Cha Lan as he spoke, his heart pounding with nervousness. "Brother, what are you doing? Can't you just pretend you don't know me?" Luckily, Cha Lan had his back to him and hadn't seen him yet.

Gao Lei was puzzled by President Liu's reaction. He had originally wanted to ask if it would be convenient for President Cha to inquire about He Qing's situation, but he didn't know how to bring it up.

"You'd better leave quickly," Mr. Liu whispered urgently to Gao Lei, glancing back at Cha Lan as he did so. Fortunately, Gao Lei didn't understand the situation, but he didn't dare disobey Mr. Liu's wishes, so he stepped back and gestured for him to make a phone call from behind.

Mr. Liu breathed a sigh of relief and made a phone call, but then said, "Go ahead and call me, I'm blocking you right now."

After leaving the hotel, Gao Lei contacted Xu Guang. He Qing's matter had to be put aside for now; they needed to find out her current situation first. Another important matter at the moment was establishing contact with General Manager Wang.

Knowing they were at the car market, he immediately followed them. Yesterday, because he was looking for He Qing, he had been rather neglectful of Xiao Wang, and he was determined to make it up to him today.

When Xu Guang called, he was told that Xiao Wang was unavailable. He was currently making store visits and had to attend a charity auction that evening. This was a fundraising event organized by the Jiangzhou government for poverty alleviation, education support, and medical assistance.

When Mr. Wang came to invest in Hanjiang, he was invited by a local tycoon. He would definitely attend such an event as a sign of respect. At the same time, he would not waste this money and would try to make Huadi Group benefit more in various ways.

Upon hearing this news, Gao Lei's heart stirred. He could attend such an event to make connections and perhaps gain favor with the local community.

He inquired about the location and learned it was at the Jiangzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center. He booked a room at the Junxiao Lakeside Hotel, intending to stay there to be closer to Boss Wang. Normally, he wouldn't be willing to stay there; several thousand yuan a night would be too expensive.

Chen Xiao drove the Ferrari FUV for a while, then lost interest and switched to the passenger seat for Zhang Ziqian to drive. Zhang Ziqian said nervously, "Boss, for your safety, let's ride in the car."

"Seriously? You don't even have this much confidence? Just drive well, how big of a deal can happen in the city?"

Zhang Ziqian glanced at him, her palms sweating profusely. This supposedly impressive sports car/SUV was being driven at a snail's pace in the city at a steady 50 mph. If it weren't for the bodyguard convoy following behind, they probably would have been driven mad by the honking of the cars behind them.

As one car after another overtook them, almost every one of them would turn to look in their direction. Chen Xiao complained, "Are you putting on a tortoise and hare race?"

They picked up speed and, since they had nothing else to do, drove the car to the dealership for its first service. Soon they arrived at the Ferrari 4S store, handed the car over to the after-sales staff, and since they had nothing else to do, they went into the showroom to browse around.

These luxury car dealerships usually don't have many customers, unlike Huadi Auto 4S stores, which are always bustling with people. What a coincidence, I unexpectedly saw Mr. Wang and his group here.

Even more coincidentally, the salesperson who greeted him was the same one who had served him and Zhang Ziqian last time. Upon seeing the two of them, the salesperson greeted Zhang Ziqian: "Hello, Ms. Zhang."

It's clear she really sees Chen Xiao as a gigolo. Last time, Zhang Ziqian bought two Ferrari FUVs in one go, her extravagance leaving Chen Xiao speechless. What she admires even more is that Zhang Ziqian is so beautiful, yet she not only supports a gigolo but also helps him support other women.

After finishing their store tour, Mr. Wang and his team had nothing to do, so they came to Ferrari to take a look around and see how the service of other luxury car brands was, hoping to save some money later.

When Chen Xiao and Zhang Ziqian came in, they both saw them. "Abstract" suddenly trembled a little because he knew how strong the two plainclothes men following behind Chen Xiao were.

Seeing the salesperson greet them, Xiao Wang thought of Chen Xiao's Ferrari FUV and guessed that they might be her customers. With a sudden thought, he casually asked, "What do those two do?"

The salesperson glanced at the two people staring at a sports car and whispered, "That pretty girl, Mr. Zhang is very powerful. That guy is with her, you know—"

Young Master Wang instantly understood, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. A pretty boy dared to be so arrogant? That woman, on the other hand, seemed quite formidable, bringing such strong bodyguards. What was going on in Jiangzhou? Not only were there so many beautiful women, but each one was incredibly fierce. If this weren't China, he'd think he'd stumbled into a land of women.

If he hadn't met so many formidable women in Jiangzhou, he wouldn't have believed that Chen Xiao was a gigolo. But after being beaten up at the Junxiao Lakeside Hotel, he's now a bit afraid of women in Jiangzhou and genuinely believes this is absolutely true. This Zhang Ziqian might be someone comparable to that woman at the Junxiao Lakeside Hotel.

Upon hearing that the other person was just a gigolo, "Abstract" suddenly felt that he had been unfairly beaten. Damn it, if it weren't for that woman protecting him, who would he be? Xu Guang, on the other hand, was incredibly envious. Such a carefree gigolo was exactly what he dreamed of. In that sense, he was a womanizer, a gigolo simultaneously with several beautiful women, all of them important figures—his gigolo skills were truly unparalleled.

If they weren't currently on opposing sides, he would definitely go up and befriend them, to learn from their advanced gigolo experience.

Knowing that Chen Xiao was a "pretty boy," Mr. Wang's "fear" of him lessened considerably, and he asked the salesperson, "What's the price of that car they're looking at?"

The salesperson knew the specifications of these cars by heart, let alone their prices. "That's a Ferrari LaFerrari (hardtop version), the first hybrid flagship, worth 2300 million."

"Hiss—" Xu Guanghe gasped, "Abstract." So expensive. Even Mr. Wang's face changed slightly. His family was wealthy, but he personally didn't have that much money.

He can definitely afford this car, but it's not a small amount of money; it's over ten million, so he'll definitely have to be careful.

"Come on, let's go over and take a look."

Xu Guang was puzzled. Why go over there now? To provoke that guy? The "abstract" example was right there in front of him. Was he forgetting the lesson he had learned?

Chen Xiao became genuinely interested in the car. The hardtop LaFerrari resembled a lurking beast, its low-slung body hugging the ground, and its unibody carbon fiber chassis gleaming coldly under the showroom lights. The vertical air intake in the center of the front was as sharp as a blade, while the honeycomb grilles on either side resembled the breathing holes of a ferocious beast.

The concave air ducts on the sides and the air vents above the rear wheel arches hint at its extreme design, which has undergone F1 wind tunnel testing. The massive diffuser and centrally mounted quad exhaust at the rear silently proclaim its 350km/h top speed genes.

This car is really cool. I was just about to call the salesperson over to place an order for it when I saw Mr. Wang and his party coming over with smiles on their faces: "Friend, you have good taste. This car is worth collecting." Seeing Mr. Wang trying to get close to him, Chen Xiao smiled faintly: "What's so special about an industrial product that's worth collecting? You're making a fuss over nothing."

Holy crap, does this guy have to be so arrogant? Xiao Wang always seems to have a knack for making people angry with just a few words. How can someone with such a foul mouth be a gigolo? Or does he use all his skills to woo women?

Just as he thought of this, Chen Xiao looked at the somewhat evasive "Abstract" and said, "I'll let it go this time since it's in public, but next time remember to stay away from me when I'm around. I feel nauseous when I see ugly people."

Damn it, is this how you insult someone? "Abstract" glanced at Little Wang with resentment, wondering why he had to come looking for trouble at this time. He couldn't beat him in a fight, and he didn't dare to curse him.

"Didn't you hear me?"

Chen Xiao smiled as he looked at "Abstract," a dangerous aura emanating from him. "Abstract" shuddered, nearly collapsing. This man was known for his swift and decisive actions, and quickly replied, "I heard you, I heard you."

Mr. Wang was furious. If it weren't for the two strong bodyguards behind him, he definitely wouldn't have let Chen Xiao off the hook. How could they bully people like this?

"I heard you, now get lost! Are you deliberately trying to disgust me? If I throw up, can you afford to pay for it?"

Xu Guang's eyes widened, his face practically screaming "I'm impressed!" He'd already lost face in front of "Abstract" enough, so what was a little more? He replied, "I'm leaving now," and turned to walk outside. Sunbathing outside was better than staying in there.

The salesperson was also surprised. Last time he only knew that he was a pretty boy, but today he realized that he was actually so arrogant. He didn't know that Chen Xiao was also good at judging people. He was as warm as a spring breeze to his friends, but naturally he was different to his enemies.

Are you serving him or serving us?

A salesperson can't serve two customers at the same time. The salesperson already thought Chen Xiao was a gigolo, and whether he bought a car depended on Zhang Ziqian's mood. But he had already bought two cars last time, so he probably wouldn't buy another one today. Besides, this is a 2300 million yuan car. Who would buy such an expensive car for a gigolo?

But the Mr. Wang we're serving now is different. I just heard him make a phone call and he's in Jiangzhou to invest, with investments totaling 150 billion yuan. People like him are the target users for this car.

This pretty boy driving this car is a disgrace to this limited edition Ferrari.

"Excuse me, sir, I am still serving this Mr. Wang."

Mr. Wang seemed to have won a round, and smiled smugly. He said to the salesperson, "Please introduce it to me. If it meets my requirements, I will order the car."

Sure enough, this wasn't someone short of money. The salesperson was overjoyed, glad that he had good judgment and had chosen the right person.

Chen Xiao waved to the side and called over a new sales consultant named Xiao Qin, a girl who looked quite gentle.

She quietly introduced the vehicle to Chen Xiao and Zhang Ziqian—a cockpit with a full carbon fiber frame, an F1-style steering wheel integrating paddle shifters and a Manettino knob. The floating instrument panel only displays the tachometer, while the LCD screens on both sides conceal track data such as oil pressure and G-force.

The Alcantara-wrapped racing seats hug the body, with red stitching running like veins through the black leather. The center console is devoid of anything superfluous, retaining only the air conditioning knobs—every gram of weight here is born for speed.

This is a true driver's vehicle; calling it a land-based aircraft wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Seeing how attentively they were listening, Xiao Wang wondered how this pretty boy would trick that beautiful woman into paying the bill. Xu Guang was also listening intently, wanting to learn how Chen Xiao tricked Zhang Ziqian. He thought, "Learn one trick, and you'll benefit from it for life."

This car is great in every way, but it's too expensive. With the options and such, it'll cost close to 3000 million yuan on the road. Mr. Wang is also wondering if it's necessary.

To make things more difficult for Chen Xiao and make it harder for him to fool Zhang Ziqian, he deliberately spoke in a slightly louder voice: "It's not easy to make money these days. You have to be careful when buying a car for 3000 million, especially a sports car. It's meant to be fun and not very practical."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao smiled at Zhang Ziqian and said, "See? This is corporate disease. The company talks about cost-effectiveness in everything it does, even when buying sports cars. So some people are just slaves to money. They only know how to make money and don't understand the joy of spending it."

Zhang Ziqian nodded in agreement, and CEO Wang was instantly speechless. It turned out that after all his talking, she had still been successfully brainwashed by Chen Xiao.

“I can afford it, but I don’t think it’s necessary. Let’s get a different one.”

Mr. Wang does think this car is a bit extravagant. Buying a Ferrari 296 Speciale would be much better, costing around 500 million yuan. Wouldn't that be more appealing?

The salesperson was a bit disappointed. He thought he had it in the bag, but in the end he backed out. It's true that only 499 of these cars were made worldwide, and there aren't many people who can afford them.

Chen Xiao's sales consultant, Xiao Qin, also said, "Sir, you can also consider other models. This car is indeed not very cost-effective."

He waved his hand and said, "Buying a car and still wanting value for money? That's crazy. We've bought the car, Ziqian, go pay for it."

Karma——

hiss--

The sales staff were stunned. Mr. Wang and Xu Guang were also dumbfounded. He actually asked her to pay the bill? Besides, there's no trick to getting a beautiful woman to pay the bill. Just let her go and buy it. Would she do it?
Xiao Qin stared in disbelief, mouth agape. Could someone really buy a 3000 million yuan car so casually?

Everyone looked at Zhang Ziqian, wanting to see her reaction. Unexpectedly, she acted as if nothing had happened and shouted to the shocked Xiao Qin, "Come on, take me to complete the formalities."

Damn—you just bought it without hesitation, that's 3000 million! Silly girl.

Xu Guang was extremely upset. Why couldn't he meet someone like that? Forget 3000 million, no one would even spend 3000 yuan on him. Yesterday, he went to a karaoke bar and had some fun, but he still had to pay 3000 yuan himself.

Mr. Wang stared blankly at the scene. The salesman next to him was filled with regret. He never expected that this woman had just bought two top-of-the-line Ferrari FUVs not long ago, and was now coming to buy another car.

Zhang Ziqian took a few steps when Chen Xiao suddenly called out to her, "Ziqian, let's buy two. It's no fun driving the same color all the time."

Holy crap, Xu Guang was utterly impressed with him. To be a gigolo to this extent, he's definitely a winner in life.

Mr. Wang didn't know how he dared to bring it up, but the reality was that one dared to bring it up, and the other actually sensed it and responded very readily.

"Okay, is the full top-of-the-line configuration plus all optional extras acceptable?"

Chen Xiao waved his hand, "Go ahead, you know me. Money should be spent wisely. Only poor people talk about cost-effectiveness. Someone who talks about cost-effectiveness all the time can't create a luxury brand; they just don't have the gene."

Mr. Wang's face darkened; he knew Chen Xiao was implying that Huadi's Ruishi brand couldn't succeed in the high-end market. There's a prevailing opinion online that Huadi Auto Group only knows how to make low-end products and can't succeed in the high-end.

The entire company is now putting all its effort into breaking into the high-end market, and the Ruishi N7L is tasked with this mission, aiming to gain a foothold in the 30 yuan price range. However, the current situation doesn't look too good.

Chen Xiao's veiled insults—calling him a poor bastard and saying Huadi couldn't succeed in the high-end market—stung the young CEO. He glared at Chen Xiao, thinking, "Pretty boy, your bodyguard saved you. We'll see."

Just as I was about to leave, I heard that annoying voice again, "You've bothered others for so long, but you haven't even bought a car. Are you here to do competitive brand research? But you two don't really seem to be competitors."

Competitive brand research? The saleswoman was already regretting missing out on Chen Xiao's sale, and now that she heard this Mr. Wang wasn't there to buy a car, wasn't he just messing around? Her face immediately darkened. Normally, she definitely wouldn't give a customer a hard time, but today she simply couldn't hold back; the loss was too great. If this damn Mr. Wang hadn't said he would definitely make a purchase, wouldn't she have been serving Chen Xiao and Zhang Ziqian? Wouldn't she have been the one making nearly 5000 million in sales today?
Mr. Wang was somewhat embarrassed. Was he really going to spend over 500 million just to save face?
The Wang family is wealthy, but that's based on stock value. They're lucky to have a few billion in cash on hand, and that's all in the old man's hands. Although he's not short of money, he still finds it hard to accept someone like Chen Xiao who spends tens of millions without batting an eye. After all, the Wang family is a self-made family, and they can't quite accept this kind of nouveau riche spending style. Value for money is ingrained in their blood.

But just now, in order to compete with Chen Xiao, I did manage to keep this sales consultant by promising to buy a car. Now that she has missed out on Chen Xiao's big order, she is already quite resentful. If I trick her again, she will curse my ancestors for eight generations.

Moreover, Chen Xiao was still unleashing his ultimate taunt, implying that he wouldn't buy a 3000 million yuan car like Chen Xiao, so he should just take this one.

"When buying things, you should buy what you like, not blindly buy expensive ones. That's the mentality of a nouveau riche." Mr. Wang asked the sales consultant to handle the formalities. He was going to buy this car for 520 million yuan.

The sales consultant's expression finally improved a bit. Just then, Chen Xiao said to Zhang Ziqian, "Ziqian, we bought this car too. It cost 520 million. It's suitable for our housekeeper to use for grocery shopping; it's quite cost-effective." (End of Chapter)
