We agreed not to date, so why are you crying now that I've become the richest man?

5:10 PM, BMW Authorized Showroom on Wuzhong Road.

Ye Chen locked the car and led Xia Shiqing and Zhou Tong through the revolving glass door. The greeter at the door bowed and greeted them, and the receptionist also looked up.

The three had just come out of the construction site. Xia Shiqing and Zhou Tong were still wearing old coats with dust spots and flat shoes, while Ye Chen was wearing a cotton sweatshirt and sweatpants. At first glance, they looked like students from a nearby university who had come to visit the auto show together.

Three male sales representatives stood next to the front desk. One of them, a young sales representative with slicked-back hair and black-rimmed glasses, looked at the three men's clothes, put on a professional smile, and came over.

"Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome. Which car would you like to see today? On the left, we have a 3 Series that just arrived. Its size is suitable for city driving. You can also apply for a financing subsidy if you buy a car now."

The male salesman stepped aside and led the three to the 3 Series display area on the left side of the showroom.

Xia Shiqing had worked as a car saleswoman before, and she could deduce the situation from the order in which the other party recommended cars. Not wanting to make a scene over such a small matter, she followed the other party's gesture and went over.

As soon as she took a step, Ye Chen took her hand, their fingers intertwined, and led her across the left-hand exhibition area to the central booth in the hall.

A brand-new white BMW 5 Series long-wheelbase version was parked on the exhibition stand. The more than five-meter-long body stretched out, and the paint reflected the roof light, adding a touch of freshness to the business-like outline.

Ye Chen stopped beside the car and reached out to press on the roof.

"The back row of the third-row seats is a bit narrow, making it inconvenient to carry coffee bean samples and other items from the shop."

He turned his head to look at Xia Shiqing, his gaze falling from the car body to her face.

"White suits you well. It looks presentable when meeting clients, and it's also a comfortable color to wear when taking Zhou Tong out."

After saying this, Ye Chen looked at the male salesperson who had followed him.

"Open the car door and try the driver's seat."

The male salesman stopped in his tracks. Before he could even begin to introduce the car, Xia Shiqing had already seen the information on the sign on the front of the vehicle: 2011 BMW 528Li Leading Edition, manufacturer's suggested retail price 55.06 yuan.

She gripped Ye Chen's sleeve and lowered her voice.

"Ye Chen, after taxes and insurance, this car will cost over 600,000 yuan. Back in my hometown, that's enough to buy two houses."

Xia Shiqing glanced at the car door but hesitated to get in.

"I don't usually need to drive such an expensive car. There are so many cars on the street, I can't bear to repair even a scratch."

Zhou Tong walked around to the front of the car, touched the hood with her palm, and then withdrew it. She had thought Ye Chen would buy a sedan worth more than 200,000 yuan, but this 5 Series in front of her had exceeded her understanding of "showing off".

When the male salesman heard Xia Shiqing complain about the price, his enthusiasm waned, and his sales pitch became more routine.

"Sir, this is a 528Li Leading Edition. There aren't many available right now, and the dealership doesn't offer any cash discounts. The total cost, including purchase tax, insurance, and registration services, will be approximately 610,000 yuan."

He raised his hand and pointed to the exhibition area on the left.

"If it's mainly used for commuting in the city, the expenses for the 3 Series will be much lower, and a mortgage plan is also available."

Ye Chen didn't respond to him. He grabbed the driver's side door handle and pulled it out. The display car was in an open display state, and the door opened easily, releasing the leather smell of the new car's interior.

He put his arm around Xia Shiqing's shoulder and helped her into the beige leather driver's seat.

"Try the seats and the view first; you don't need to worry about the cost."

Xia Shiqing sat in the cockpit, placed her hands on the three-spoke steering wheel, and leaned back in the seat. She was tall and slender, and even her old denim jacket couldn't suppress her capable demeanor. She looked quite suitable sitting in the driver's seat of the 5 Series.

Ye Chen took a half step back and looked around, then casually closed the car door for her, leaving room for conversation.

"It suits you well, I'll take this one."

He turned to the male salesman and asked directly, "Do you have any white cars with the same configuration in the warehouse? Can you get the insurance and temporary license plate documents processed today?"

The male salesman looked Ye Chen over again, then glanced at Xia Shiqing in the driver's seat.

"A new car with the same configuration just arrived yesterday. It hasn't been inspected before delivery. Are you sure you want to pay in full, sir?"

Ye Chen took out a China Construction Bank card from his wallet and handed it to him.

"Full payment only, no loans available."

He raised his hand and tapped the configuration list on the table.

"Compulsory traffic accident liability insurance, vehicle damage insurance, third-party liability insurance of one million yuan and deductible waiver are all included. Floor mats, car film and maintenance package are listed according to the store's existing standards. If the temporary license plate can be completed today, the car can be picked up. If the time is not in time, delivery will be arranged for tomorrow morning."

The male salesperson took the bank card, immediately straightened his back, and began to speak faster.

"No problem. I'll reserve the vehicle now and ask the sales manager to check the price and complimentary items. I'll get back to you within twenty minutes."

He turned and hurried to the finance area on the second floor. When he reached the stairwell, he turned back to call to his colleagues to prepare the car purchase contract and vehicle information.

Xia Shiqing sat in the driver's seat, watching the sales staff get busy. Her hand slid off the steering wheel and grabbed the corner of Ye Chen's hoodie hanging by the car door.

"You're always like this, I don't know how I'm going to ever repay you."

Ye Chen leaned down, supporting himself on the car door frame with one hand and reaching to the side of the seat with the other to adjust the seat height and backrest position for her, until her gaze fell over the front of the car and onto the front of the showroom.

The two were close together, and Xia Shiqing could see the smile between his brows as soon as she looked up.

"My woman goes out to be a boss, so she has to be given the respect she deserves."

Ye Chen tucked her hair, which was hanging down her shoulder, behind her ear, and lowered his voice.

"Keep the coffee shop running well for me. Once Mr. Xia has made some money, then we can consider keeping me as a sugar daddy."

Xia Shiqing's nose tingled, but she didn't let go of the hem of his clothes. She lowered her head and chuckled, then raised her hand and gently hooked Ye Chen's hand twice.

"You said it yourself, so don't complain that I'm meddling later."

"Get everything ready first, we'll need to sign the insurance later."

At the rear of the car, Zhou Tong tiptoed and peered into the second-floor finance area. She saw sales staff carrying documents and moving back and forth between several desks. Then she looked back at Xia Shiqing in the driver's seat, crossed her arms, and sighed.

"A car worth 610,000? You just bought it without thinking. Shiqing, you got a God of Wealth as a bonus when you found a boyfriend. You should share some of your luck with me."
