Zongwen stuffed the last piece of braised pork into his mouth, his cheeks puffed out like a hamster's, and chewed for a long time before swallowing.

He slammed his chopsticks on the table, wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth with a tissue, leaned back in his chair, and patted his round belly.

"Brother Fan, call me when you buy the car. I want to experience the feeling of picking up a car too."

I've never been to a 4S store before, so I'll go with you to get a free coffee.

I heard that high-end car dealerships serve freshly ground coffee and free cookies.

Zong Wen knew perfectly well what was going on.

Zhang Yifan had already used the 300,000 yuan worth of scratch-off lottery tickets to open a shop for his parents.

Renovation, equipment, ingredients, rent—everything costs money.

Buy a car? You'd be more likely to buy a model car.

Zhang Yifan had mentioned to him before that he had invested all 300,000 yuan into the shop and only kept a small amount for himself as living expenses.

Based on his understanding of Zhang Yifan, this person never boasted, but mentioning "buying a car" was clearly just a joke he made in a good mood after the exam.

If Zong Wen doesn't even have this much sense, then he's wasted three years sitting at the same desk as Zhang Yifan.

But he didn't say it aloud.

He couldn't bring himself to embarrass his brother in front of Tang Xiaonuan.

He silently thought to himself: "If you could even afford an electric scooter, I'd be impressed."

"No problem," Zhang Yifan said casually, putting down his teacup. "I'll get you one too."

Zong Wen laughed heartily, pointed at Zhang Yifan with his chopsticks, and winked at Tang Xiaonuan, meaning, "Look at him, he doesn't even think before he speaks."

He didn't take it seriously, laughed it off, and moved on.

Tang Xiaonuan did not laugh along.

She held her teacup, her gaze lingering on Zhang Yifan's face for a moment.

When he said, "I'll get you one too," his tone was unusually calm and certain, as if he were stating a fact that had already happened.

She recalled that at noon in the store, Zhang Yifan had acted the same way when facing the man who was trying to stage an accident—calm, indifferent, and cautious.

A slight stirring ran through her heart.

The way this person said it didn't sound like a joke at all.

But she soon realized she was overthinking it.

She had gotten a general idea of ​​Zhang Yifan's family background from the past few days. His parents had just opened a small restaurant, which was doing well, but they couldn't afford to buy a car for someone so easily.

Maybe he just naturally speaks this way, whether he's joking or talking about serious matters, he always uses the same tone.

Zongwen suddenly slapped his forehead, and the chopsticks almost flew out of his hand.

"I almost forgot! Miaomiao SUV is launched today!"

I'm a huge fan of the Chrysanthemum (a car brand). I've been following this car since its initial promotion. I've watched the moose test video at least twenty times. Every time I watch it, I think the Chrysanthemum is truly amazing.

The press conference is starting in ten minutes, I need to hurry and watch the live stream!

He took out his phone, quickly opened the live stream link, propped the phone up on the table, then felt the screen was too small to be impressive enough, so he looked up at Zhang Yifan.

"Brother Fan, did you bring your tablet? Use a tablet to watch this. I need to watch this press conference on a big screen. It's a matter of respect for Huawei."

Zhang Yifan took a tablet out of his bag and handed it to him.

He wasn't particularly interested in the Miaomiao SUV itself.

A "strongest SUV" touted by AI in a promotional video has already been identified by the system as having false performance data, and will eventually be withdrawn from the market and go bankrupt.

However, he holds shares in Chixing Technology.

If the system is correct, this press conference was the starting gun for the stock price to take off.

He also wanted to see for himself what level this Miaomiao SUV was really at.

Tang Xiaonuan also joined in, saying that she is quite interested in cars, her dad drives an SUV, and the family is considering changing cars recently.

The three of them huddled together in front of the tablet, heads close together. Zhang Yifan squeezed to the left, Tang Xiaonuan leaned to the right, and Zong Wen sat in the middle, squeezed like a sandwich.

"Hurry, hurry, the countdown is on!"

Zong Wen tapped his finger on the screen and turned the volume up to the maximum.

The countdown for the live stream reached zero, and the camera switched to the press conference venue.

Zhang Yifan was stunned for a moment.

The logo on the stage was not Chixing Technology, but a red chrysanthemum petal logo.

The speaker was not from Chixing, but rather Luo Xi, the CEO of Chrysanthemum—affectionately known in the industry as "Big Mouth Luo."

He immediately understood: although Chihhang was responsible for research and development and manufacturing, its brand influence was far inferior to Chrysanthemum.

Letting chrysanthemums lead the press conference and Luo Dazui be the main speaker will multiply the publicity effect several times over.

This was probably a division of labor agreed upon when the two companies started their joint venture: Chixing would provide the technology and production lines, while Chrysanthemum would provide the brand and distribution channels.

"Let's welcome Mr. Rossi, CEO of Chrysanthemum Technology!"

The music suddenly became more intense, and the lights converged into a beam that shone on the center of the stage.

Rossi stepped out of the pillar of light with brisk steps, a straight back, and his usual confident, even arrogant, smile.

He walked to the center of the stage, raised his hand, and gestured for silence.

"This, this, this... Good afternoon, everyone!"

Welcome everyone to the launch event for Miaomiao SUV!

Chrysanthemum Terminal, centered on the Hongmeng operating system, collaborated with Chixing Technology to create this amazing SUV.

Today, I'll show you just how powerful this car really is.

The first video lit up on the giant screen behind him.

The Miaomiao SUV drove over a series of speed bumps at 60 mph without moving an inch.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!" Zong Wen was so excited he almost knocked his phone over. "Did you see that?! 60 mph over the speed bump! The car didn't budge an inch!"

Next came the moose test, in which the large SUV made an emergency lane change at 80 mph without any body roll.

Tang Xiaonuan gasped, "This is even more stable than my dad's car with air suspension. My dad's car was so wobbly during the moose test it looked like it was about to flip over. How did this one manage that?"

After each video was played, a gasp of surprise rang out from the audience.

The live stream chat was so dense with comments that the screen was almost completely obscured, filled with phrases like "far ahead," "Chrysanthemum is awesome," and "I have to buy this car."

Rossi finished explaining all the performance parameters one by one, stood in the center of the stage, and his tone suddenly became emotional:

"Not long ago, I invited an entrepreneur friend of mine to test drive the Miaomiao SUV."

He sat in the back seat, and I had the intelligent driving system take him around the city for twenty minutes.

After getting out of the car, he was completely stunned. He remained silent for a while, then turned to me and said, "Holy crap, why didn't you tell me about this amazing car sooner!"

A burst of laughter and applause erupted from the audience.

After Rossi and the others calmed down, the product name and price were officially announced:

"Miaomiao M9, priced between 400,000 and 600,000."

So far, among all the cars that have actually been launched on our planet, the Miaomiao M9 is the most powerful SUV, bar none.

It's truly far ahead!

There was thunderous applause.

"Finally, let's give a warm welcome to the actual Miaomiao M9!"
