189: Chapter 189: The Most Deadly Form of Showing Off is the Invisible Kind!
Introduce my ass!
Watching Dai Fei’s coldly contemptuous sneer, Wu Jie knew he was being looked down upon from the bottom of his heart.
Just an overworked office drone, barely scraping by in the big city, and you’re buying a rcedes?
Dream on!
So, Dai Fei’s expression and tone perfectly embodied the phrase—”life’s tough for the underdogs.”
Verbally, he didn’t reveal any mockery of Wu Jie’s poverty, nor did he sneer at his face because that was his job.
But that didn’t stop him from using a different kind of look and a different tone.
Phew!
Wu Jie let out a long sigh.
Given their old classmates’ sake and thinking back to how he teased him about buying a house, angering him to the point of leaving the class group chat—hatred was just a re four energy points.
Rather than waste his breath making Dai Fei jealous and envious to earn a few energy points, it was better to pick up the car early and drive ho.
Wu Jie decided to keep a low profile!
No more showing off and slapping faces.
So…
Wu Jie said in an even tone:
“I’m commissioned to pick up a black rcedes GLE AMG, have one available?”
Dai Fei imdiately put on an exaggerated expression of sudden realization:
“Oh, so you’re buying the car for soone else!
I thought you’d struck it rich and were going to buy a two or three million rcedes Maybach!”
Wu Jie smiled faintly, too lazy to respond.
Seeing Wu Jie’s lack of reaction, Dai Fei smiled awkwardly.
“Buying the car for soone, right?
Then I should still introduce you to it, or you won’t know what to tell them when you go back!”
As he spoke, Dai Fei led Wu Jie to a silver-grey rcedes GLE that looked both sporty and commanding.
“The GLE is a large-dium class coupe SUV.
This one is the 3.0T high-power version, with acceleration to 100 km/h in less than six seconds…”
Dai Fei rattled off like he was reciting from a brochure, his tone flat and monotonous, carelessly spouting the information.
No choice, that was the sales process.
Wu Jie didn’t say a word and just focused on feeling the car.
You get what you pay for, the car priced at 1.08 million really was different.
“…Pretty much that’s it.
Anyway, everything like the warranty and after-sales service is in the user manual!”
“You’re paying by card, right?
If you’re purchasing on behalf of soone, did they give you their docunts?”
Wu Jie took out his ID card and a business card.
“Put the car under my na, for paynt matters, contact him directly!”
After a mont’s hesitation, Dai Fei looked at the gilt business card and imdiately bead with a smile.
“You’re buying this car for Mr.
Yu?
What’s your relationship with him?”
“Oh, my old classmate, you actually know a high-level executive in our company, why didn’t you say so earlier?
You really had us fooled!”
“Are you free tonight?
Let treat you to a seafood hotpot, let’s have a good chat, just the two of us!”
“Even if you’re just driving for Mr.
Yu, that’s a promising future right there!”
“If there’s a chance, put in a good word for , brother.
I an, why be a salesperson, I could be promoted to manager in a minute!”
…
Here it cos!
Wu Jie knew that Dai Fei could turn his face faster than flipping a book.
Just monts ago he was disparaging with disinterest, but now he had beco incredibly enthusiastic, almost ready to kneel and cling to his legs.
“Wait a minute!”
Wu Jie interrupted Dai Fei’s non-stop chatter: “I’m also here on soone else’s behalf, can you take care of the important stuff first, then we can chat?”
Dai Fei nodded repeatedly: “Of course!
I…
I’ll get on it right away, you take your ti with the car!”
Saying so, Dai Fei strode towards the main desk, happier than if he had received a commission.
While others prepared the contract, he hurriedly picked up the desk phone to make a call.
“This is Yu, what’s up?”
Hearing Mr.
Yu’s voice, Dai Fei was so excited he almost wet himself.
“Mr.
Yu, there’s a young man nad Wu Jie who says he’s picking up a rcedes…”
Before he could finish, the voice on the phone hurriedly instructed:
“Don’t worry about the paynt, process everything for him as quickly as possible, and with the extras like chro trims and floor mats, give him the best of everything.
I’ll sign off on it later, if you can’t handle this properly, don’t bother coming to work again!”
Click!
The call was disconnected.
Dai Fei was sowhat stunned.
“What’s going on?
I didn’t even get to say that I’m Jie’s old classmate!”
With a sigh, Dai Fei dared not delay.
This was a big deal as instructed by Mr.
Yu, and the entire sales team got busy like never before.
Moving cars from the warehouse, checking the conditions, refueling and maintenance…
the whole dealership was a flurry of activity.
As for Dai Fei, he signed contracts, issued invoices, and, after the car was ready, took Wu Jie to get the license plates.
He was all smiles and flattery the entire way, almost to the point of fawning.
Wu Jie endured it silently, without a word of complaint.
After getting the vehicle registration and mounting the license plates, they drove back to the dealership for chro plating, tinting, and additional decorations.
Then ca floor mats, neck pillows, a whole bunch of gifts, and even a folding bicycle and a custom rcedes watch, among other things.
The dealership offered everything they could, provided every service they had, all to avoid even the slightest oversight.
If Wu Jie hadn’t ntioned that his boss needed the car, they might even have arranged a car pickup ceremony.
Even so, Dai Fei followed through to the very last second, reminding Wu Jie many tis to keep in touch, insisting he could invite him to dinner anyti.
So…
Not long after leaving the car city, Wu Jie seized the chance while waiting for a traffic light, and imdiately blocked both of Dai Fei’s numbers, old and new.
Otherwise, he’d definitely be harassed endlessly in the future.
On the other side,
After sorting out the docunts, Dai Fei went to report to Mr.
Yu, brimming with excitent.
He first spoke at great length, then, while Mr.
Yu was signing off, he said with a smug smile,
“Actually, Mr.
Yu, he and I are old schoolmates, very close.
I…”
He was cut off before he could finish.
“Is that so?
Although he’s the Director of the Supervisory Departnt and seemingly doesn’t have the authority to hire, he’s the Tang Family’s son-in-law, after all.
Getting you into Tanglong Industrial Group would be a simple matter for him, wouldn’t it?”
Dai Fei let out a sound, completely dumbstruck.
Mr.
Yu dropped the signed docunts in front of the stunned Dai Fei and said with a laugh,
“What are you dazing about for?
Go back and focus on selling cars!
With such a big shot and you couldn’t even bring him in to buy a car, how can you say you have a strong relationship with him?”
Dai Fei was utterly embarrassed, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.
With his head down, he left the general manager’s office and imdiately went online to check.
On the official website of Tanglong Industrial Group, he not only found the Director of the Supervisory Departnt, Wu Jie, but also saw news about Wu Jie’s successful anti-corruption efforts, with an award of ten million…
As for being the Tang Family’s son-in-law, he didn’t find any related news, but since Mr.
Yu had said it himself, could it be false?
After completing the formalities, Dai Fei returned to the showroom in a daze, feeling completely out of sorts.
He couldn’t figure it out.
Why had Wu Jie, a fellow graduate from the sa school, soared high, securing a top position and becoming the Tang Family’s son-in-law?
Why was he, good-looking, eloquent, hardworking, and well-behaved, still single and broke?
Why, now that he was so rich and powerful, had Wu Jie kept such a low profile when picking up the car?
Was it because he feared flaunting his wealth would be too much for him to bear?
…
After much thought, Dai Fei was shocked to realize,
that he had been busy all day for nothing, and it didn’t count as a sales performance; he wouldn’t get a single cent in commission.
Now he was even more depressed.
The only silver lining was that he had Wu Jie’s phone number.
How great it would be if he could switch jobs to Tanglong Industrial Group!
Dai Fei called with eager anticipation, but the other party had switched off their phone.
He went to the main desk and used the landline to call, and the phone connected.
“Hello, who is this?”
The mont he heard Wu Jie’s voice, Dai Fei angrily hung up.
Despise people much?
Was it necessary to block so quickly?
Instantly, Dai Fei’s pride shattered.
Thinking back on his own excessive enthusiasm, he felt humiliated and infuriated.
In a fit of anger, Dai Fei quickly pulled so old classmates together and created a group.
Then, he posted explosive news in the group…
