I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

Chapter 269 The Most Handsome Moment for a Man!

Gu Yifan was unaware that his new home had already been booked by a female tenant before he even moved in.

The Shanghai International Auto Show venue.

Gu Yifan led Xinling and the other two girls in slowly walking in.

The cool air dispelled the outdoor heat.

The exhibition is free if you have an invitation, but regular visitors need to pay an entrance fee, which is not expensive at 30 yuan per person.

However, there are some free snacks and drinks inside, and the exhibition hall is very large, with various car brands on display, so it's still a good deal.

Tickets checked for entry.

The three girls skipped and hopped along in front.

To be precise, Erxi was hopping and skipping, looking left and right.

Xia Xingchen and Xinling were playing arm-in-arm, looking like old best friends. Gu Yifan followed behind, looking at the latest car models around them, clicking his tongue, and remarking that they all looked so outdated.
"Wow, so many people, and so many cars!" It was Erxi's first time at a car show, and he found it all quite fascinating.

However, she didn't know which brands were good or bad; she was a complete novice.

It just depends on which car looks better or which model is prettier.

Different brands have different showroom locations, but the decor all looks high-end and sophisticated.

There were also pretty car models dressed in revealing outfits, showcasing and introducing the cars.

“I heard from my senior that quite a few girls from art colleges come here to work as car models, and they can earn several hundred yuan a day.”

Xingchen explained from the side.

She has a wide social circle. Although she appears quiet and reserved, she is not socially anxious and is quite poised and generous.

Only a few days into the new semester, some classmates were already asking her out to dinner.

However, Xia Xingchen didn't like any of those boys and politely declined them all.

Because she's already met better men.

"I see." Xinling's eyes lit up slightly when she heard that she could earn several hundred yuan a day, and she seemed to be deep in thought.

I secretly observed the car models in their glamorous gowns, smiling at everyone, their faces gradually turning slightly red as they seemed lost in thought.

This caught Gu Yifan's eye.

"What are you thinking about?"

When Xinling heard Gu Yifan's voice, she trembled slightly and quickly shook her head, saying it was nothing.

"Don't think about those complicated things, just focus on your studies, okay?" Gu Yifan gently patted Xinling's head and admonished her.

"Mmm~" Xinling said shyly, taking Gu Yifan's arm with one hand.

What the two of them saw as nothing special was quite intimate, but to outsiders it appeared very affectionate.

Xia Xingchen, standing to the side, saw the two behaving intimately and a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.

She can chat confidently with other senior students, but why does her palms sweat so much when she talks to Gu Yifan?

"If only he could pat my head like that," Xia Xingchen thought.

Cyndi Wang, on the other hand, seemed a little guilty.

She dared not look into Gu Yifan's ambiguous smile, knowing that her little thoughts had been seen through.

Indeed, Cyndi was tempted when she heard that she could earn several hundred yuan as a car model.

She felt that her looks were no worse than those car models, and her figure was just as good, so could she also do part-time work?

However, upon seeing the revealing dresses worn by the car models, Xinling changed her mind.

Even if she wears it, she'll only wear it for her brother to see.

Don't worry, bro.

As Xinling spoke, she bit her lip, let go of Xingchen's arm, and followed Gu Yifan to the back. Only then did she tiptoe and whisper a few words in Gu Yifan's ear.

A blush was visibly spreading to the base of her ears.

Gu Yifan was very surprised after hearing this and turned to look at Xinling.

But Xinling had already run away shyly, and took Xia Xingchen's arm again, pulling her forward.

Gu Yifan smiled and said, "Whatever you like, I'll buy it for you to wear later."

That's acceptable.

Gu Yifan was surprised that Xinling would say that on her own initiative, which showed that his understanding of Xinling was still very shallow.

And so, the four of them strolled around the auto show together.

We chatted and laughed along the way, and it made us happy.

Erxi prefers a Volkswagen Beetle in cherry red, the convertible version, which looks very cute and is also suitable for girls.

Unfortunately, Erxi was disappointed when she saw the price. It cost over 200,000 yuan, and she figured her parents wouldn't agree to buy it for her.

Even if I were to buy one, it would probably only cost around 100,000 yuan for a basic car.

Xia Xingchen prefers SUVs and off-road vehicles.

For example, she really likes the Range Rover.

According to her, her father liked off-road vehicles, so she had a seed of wanting to drive big vehicles planted in her heart since she was a child.

Gu Yifan thought to himself, "I never expected this quiet girl to have such a wild heart."

Moreover, judging from Xia Xingchen's daily attire, her family should be quite wealthy, which can be seen from the fact that Xia Xingchen doesn't seem to care much about prices.

"Brother Yifan, you won't laugh at me, will you?" Xia Xingchen said to Gu Yifan, feeling embarrassed.

"What's wrong with that? It's very common for girls to like big cars."

Gu Yifan replied that SUVs or off-road vehicles do indeed have more spacious interiors.

He remembered that in his previous life, when he first entered university, he was locked in his dormitory to take online classes. In his spare time, he would often watch vlogs by travel bloggers.

I once dreamed of buying an off-road vehicle, which could serve as both a car and a home, allowing me to travel to various countries.

Unfortunately, the idea was never realized.

Upon hearing this, Xia Xingchen relaxed and smiled slightly. Noticing that Xinling hadn't expressed her opinion much, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Xinling, what kind of car do you like?"

"Ah, it's me." Xinling hadn't said anything, afraid that Gu Yifan would ask her what she liked. Unexpectedly, before Gu Yifan could ask, her roommate asked first, and she secretly worried.

"I don't have any favorites," Xinling quickly replied.

“How could that be?” Erxi immediately said, “I think there are quite a few beautiful cars, that sapphire blue sedan is quite nice.”

Well, so Erxi only looks at the appearance and doesn't even know the brand.

Xia Xingchen chuckled to herself, but Erxi noticed. The little girl's chubby face immediately turned red, and she chased after Xingchen, saying, "Xingchen, you're making fun of me!"

"Really." Xinling said, her hands behind her back, glancing at Gu Yifan furtively.

"I'm afraid I'm not a good driver, but I'm actually quite comfortable being a passenger."

She didn't want to drive herself; she just wanted to sit in the passenger seat next to Gu Yifan, no matter where they went.

Gu Yifan didn't respond, but laughed and said, "How can that be? I was thinking of having Xinling be my driver."

"Besides, Cyndi, you'll have to go to the company in addition to classes in the future. You can't always take the subway or a taxi, can you?"

“Xinling, you are the company’s financial director. You walk to and from get off work every day. If the employees see this, they will think that I, as the boss, am being harsh on you.”

Cyndi: "."

Gu Yifan's words were reasonable and well-founded, and difficult to refute.

Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, Xinling thought for a moment, blinked her bright black eyes, and casually pointed to a Mazda sedan priced under 100,000 yuan.

"This one is good."

The gray-white body looks a bit rustic and unremarkable. The only redeeming feature is that it's a Japanese car and inexpensive.

Upon seeing it, a famous quote immediately came to mind for Gu Yifan.

Gu Yifan: "."

"Hey, can't you have any ambition?"

Xinling said aggrievedly, "As long as it can be driven, that's fine. It's just for transportation anyway, and I've heard that Japanese cars are very fuel-efficient."

If two people live a peaceful and stable life, Cyndi's thrifty and frugal lifestyle is definitely a fine quality.

But what Gu Yifan wanted was not her thriftiness and domesticity.

A car worth less than 100,000 yuan only yields a rebate of around one million yuan. What can that buy?

Since Cyndi refused to choose the expensive one, he would make the decision himself.

Erxi and Xia Xingchen whispered to each other.

"I have a feeling that Xinling isn't without someone she likes, she's just deliberately not saying it," Erxi said in a low voice.

Xia Xingchen nodded, "I agree!"

"I think so too. Is Xinling afraid that Yifan will just buy it for her?"

"No way, it must just be a question, especially since we just registered for our driver's licenses," Erxi said in surprise.

Xia Xingchen shook her head. She had a feeling that Gu Yifan's purpose in coming to the auto show today was not pure.

After visiting several exhibition halls, the group arrived at the exhibition hall for international brands.

Luxury cars abound here; Porsche, Ferrari, Bentley, McLaren, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW all pale in comparison.

"I feel like the atmosphere is completely different right from the start," Erxi muttered, looking at the significantly more luxurious exhibition hall.

There were noticeably fewer people here, the car models were more attractive, and the space was more spacious.

The girls, who had been quite lively, all quieted down.

As the saying goes, a red Ferrari and a silver Porsche are classic images.

Compared to Porsche.

Gu Yifan preferred the more flamboyant red Ferraris, simply because they were more expensive.

For example, the F430 is a classic, and there happened to be one parked in the showroom.

The price is around four million, and with the rebate, it would be around fifty million. With this sum of money, Gu Yifan could easily achieve a small goal.

The company will have ample funds going forward.

Unfortunately, when Gu Yifan asked Xinling about it, Xinling shook her head in strong resistance.

"It's too expensive, brother." With that, Xinling pulled Gu Yifan and tried to leave. If she had to buy one, she would rather choose a car with better quality, more space, and better fuel economy.

Instead of a sports car that looks flashy and ostentatious but is actually useless.

Besides, Gu Yifan's car only costs a little over a million, while this sports car costs four million.

This is an astronomical figure for most people, let alone for Cyndi, who is very sensitive to numbers.

Gu Yifan had anticipated that Xinling would not cooperate, so he let her be and was pulled away.

It's just pulling and tugging, that's something he's good at.

Erxi and Xia Xingchen, standing to the side, noticed Gu Yifan's somewhat regretful expression.

Erxi: "Could he really want to buy it?"

Xia Xingchen: "No way, this car costs several million, it's so expensive, it shouldn't be like that."

But both women seemed a little unsure of themselves.

What if?
If Gu Yifan really did spend a lot of money and bought Xinling a luxury car worth millions in front of them.

They'll scream, won't they?

Then, Gu Yifan took Xinling to the Bentley and McLaren showrooms, but didn't mention buying another car.

Cyndi gradually felt relieved.

These luxury cars are expensive for a reason.

Both its appearance and its sophisticated features make it far more appealing than ordinary sedans.

Erxi's eyes sparkled. "If only I could sit in the passenger seat of one of these convertible sports cars and go for a drive along the Bund at night, that would be wonderful."

"Pfft, Erxi, are you still half asleep? Why don't you go back and sleep some more?" Xia Xingchen laughed.

"Go away, can't I even imagine it?" Erxi pouted.

“Everyone should have dreams. Erxi, you can think about it: buy your own car and drive it to the Bund. Wouldn’t that attract more attention?” Gu Yifan said with a smile.

"I'll pass on this one." Erxi playfully stuck out her tongue. She knew her own limitations; she had little hope of buying these luxury cars on her own.

"Why don't you buy one, Xingchen, and I'll benefit from it!"

"Come on, do you think I'm a sucker?"

"Hehe, aren't you one?"

Amidst the commotion, the four arrived at the Porsche showroom.

Xinling thought that Gu Yifan had given up on the idea of buying a car.

Little did they know, Gu Yifan had already chosen his target.

In his previous life, Porsche's first four-seater executive luxury car, the Panamera, was only released in 09.
Unexpectedly, it arrived this year ahead of schedule and was officially launched at today's Shanghai International Auto Show.

The top-of-the-line model costs around two million, which is in line with Gu Yifan's expectations.

Well, if it's cheaper, then it's cheaper.

Gu Yifan walked straight towards the shiny black executive van.

Xinling's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly pulled Erxi and Xingchen forward.

The large LED screen behind is displaying an introduction to this latest luxury car.

There were also many reporters and tourists around who stopped to take photos or watch.

However, compared to a few days ago, there were fewer people at the beginning of the auto show.

As Gu Yifan approached.

The sales staff next to him naturally noticed him and gave Gu Yifan a once-over.

Salespeople can easily tell whether someone is just an audience member or a genuine potential buyer.

Gu Yifan clearly came this way, so he must be a potential buyer.

A male salesperson approached with a smile, "Hello sir, how can I help you?"

Do you have any cars available?

Gu Yifan casually pointed to the black Panamera on display next to him and asked directly.

I've bought cars several times, so I'm familiar with them.

Now that you've made your choice, there's no need to ask any more questions or listen to the salesperson's endless sales pitch.

Gu Yifan decided to experience what it's like to be a Middle Eastern tycoon, where you can just swipe your card and pick up a car you like.

Although the male salesman didn't expect Gu Yifan to ask such a question right away, it wasn't surprising, and his smile became even brighter.

His guess was right; the gentleman was indeed very interested in buying a car.

"Sir, if you are in a hurry, it can be delivered to your home within three days."

They didn't mention the discount amount, but rather the delivery speed.

The three girls, Xinling and her companions, who were a step too slow, happened to hear the male salesperson's response.

".elder brother."

Xinling couldn't help but call out.

Erxi and Xia Xingchen, who were standing next to her, exchanged a glance, their hearts pounding faster.

No way?
Really buying?!

Is this the world of the rich?
Gu Yifan heard Xinling calling him, but did not respond immediately. Instead, he said to the male salesman, "I want to pick up the car today, preferably soon enough to drive it away."

Upon hearing this, the male salesman was both pleased and somewhat hesitant.

The good news is that they actually met someone who wanted to pick up the car on the spot. The hesitation was naturally because Gu Yifan said he wanted to pick up the car on the spot.

"Well, sir, let me talk to my manager first. Don't worry, it'll be fine." The male salesman used delaying tactics, preparing to consult his supervisor.

"Okay." Gu Yifan nodded, then walked to the side with Xinling, who was standing behind him, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

People around who were looking at the car also turned their curious gazes over.

It's common to see people buying cars at auto shows, but to buy a newly released luxury car right away, especially at such a young age, is quite unusual.

Could it be that she's met a wealthy young master?

"Brother, you, you're buying a car?" Xinling asked softly.

"Mm." Gu Yifan nodded, using the excuse he had already prepared.

"This car wasn't bought for you."

"Huh?" Xinling blinked, then stopped herself from saying anything she was about to say.

"But it's for you too." Gu Yifan smiled.

This confused Xinling, who didn't understand why.

“Our company needs a commercial vehicle too, we’ll need it to pick up and drop off clients in the future,” Gu Yifan explained.

Xinling nodded hesitantly. She didn't know that much, but it sounded somewhat reasonable.

She had heard that some larger companies would provide commercial vehicles to pick up and drop off clients.

But does Gu Yifan's animation film company need this?

"Of course there will be. In the future, companies from other places will definitely come to discuss cooperation. How can the company manage with its own fleet of vehicles in every town?" Gu Yifan said naturally.

"So, this car isn't just for you, Xinling; it's also a company car."

Hearing this, Xinling seemed to understand, but she wasn't so easily fooled.

“But even if it’s a business vehicle, wouldn’t it be better to just buy an Audi?” Cyndi questioned.

“Eh.” Gu Yifan shook his head again, speaking in a serious tone.

"Our company is an animation company, mostly young people, so we need to have our own style, right?"

Xinling didn't say anything, but her eyes still showed some distrust.

Cyndi: I feel like my brother is fooling me, so I won't say anything.

"Anyway, this is the one." Gu Yifan was a little embarrassed. Xinling was getting harder and harder to fool, but he still took a firm stance.

"Normally, you can drive this car, and only pick up clients when the company needs it."

Would this be considered a different form of misuse of public vehicles?
After listening, Xinling sighed and muttered, "Anyway, my opinion doesn't matter. If you want to buy it, I can't stop you."

Judging from the tone, there was a hint of resentment.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yifan was worried that Xinling might be upset, so he quickly said, "Who said your opinion isn't important? But the company really needs a commercial vehicle right now, and you just happened to get your driver's license. Besides, it will take about half a year to get your driver's license."

Before Gu Yifan could finish explaining, Xinling took his hand, her expression serene and gentle, and smiled sweetly.

"I see"

Gu Yifan blinked; she understood something.

Cyndi's eyes were unusually gentle.

She's not stupid. Although Gu Yifan made up an excuse, he really just wanted to buy her a car.

I said that because I was worried she wouldn't accept it.

Xinling felt both amused and touched, wondering what good deeds she must have done in her past life to deserve such good fortune.

“Since you think it’s necessary, then let’s buy it,” Xinling said softly.

"Huh?" Gu Yifan didn't expect Xinling to accept it so easily.

But something felt off.

The next second, Xinling's words provided the answer. She looked at Gu Yifan with her bright eyes and said earnestly.

"I support whatever decision you make, brother."
