Seeing that Jas Ye agreed to attend the class reunion, Mary Xiao reminded him, "Michael Wang's restaurant is opening, we should prepare a gift. We can't go empty-handed."
Jas nodded and said, "I'll go buy a gift for him tomorrow morning."
"Alright," Mary replied. "I have to go to the Dihao Group tomorrow morning anyway."
Linda Dong asked excitedly, "You're going to Dihao tomorrow morning? After you're done, co find . We can carpool to Michael Wang's restaurant at noon."
Mary laughed, "Your plan won't work! I don't have a car. I usually take a taxi or the bus, and sotis Jas picks up on his electomobile."
"What?" Linda blurted out, "You're a director now and you still haven't bought a car?"
Mary said, "I haven't been working for long and haven't earned much. Jas and I have our expenses, and I also give my mom so living expenses. We only have a few thousand left each month, which isn't enough to buy a car."
She continued, "Honestly, I think the bus is quite convenient. If the weather is good, riding Jas's electomobile is also nice."
Linda said seriously, "You should pay attention to appearances sotis. After all, you're a director at the Xiao Group and a partner directly working with Dihao. If you don't even have a car, people will gossip."
Jas also thought Linda had a point.
His wife had always been too frugal, and most of her earnings went to her mother. She had been neglecting herself for too long.
Her mother was like a Brave Troops, only taking and never giving. She had saved over a million and invested it in unreliable financial products, but never thought to take out twenty or thirty thousand to buy her daughter a car.
Thinking about this, Jas decided he needed to buy his wife a car. It would make her business trips more convenient and give her more face when negotiating deals.
With this in mind, he decided to visit a car dealership first thing in the morning.
...
After dinner, Jas and Mary bid farewell to Linda and took a taxi ho.
The taxi driver was listening to a novel on the radio when suddenly a news segnt interrupted, announcing that the Hanging Gardens at the Buckingham Palace Hotel had been booked out. The radio host discussed the news on the program.
The host exclaid, "This is the first ti in history that the Buckingham Palace has made an exception to book out the entire Hanging Gardens. I'm really curious who has such influence!"
The taxi driver chid in, "I bet the person who booked the Hanging Gardens is that god-level tycoon from the short video platform!"
Jas didn't respond, but he was a bit surprised.
It seed that the news of the Buckingham Palace Hotel's top-floor Hanging Gardens being booked had indeed caused a sensation in Jinling!
That night, the news continued to spread throughout Jinling, creating a buzz. Soon, everyone knew about it.

To avoid revealing his identity, Jas had instructed Charles Chen to make special modifications to the entire Hanging Gardens. At the sa ti, he eagerly anticipated the arrival of his wedding anniversary.
He planned to give Mary Xiao a grand wedding on their anniversary!
...
Early the next morning, Jas left ho and headed to the car dealership.
He had a bank card with a hundred billion on it, which he hadn't really used yet.
This ti, he planned to buy Mary a luxurious car that would give her face.
He initially thought of buying her a Rolls-Royce.
But after thinking it over, he worried that such an expensive car would be hard to explain, and Mary, being low-key, might not even want to drive it.
So he decided to buy her a business sedan worth around 500,000 yuan. It would be respectable but not too flashy, and practical enough that minor scratches or bumps wouldn't be a big deal.
With this in mind, he decided to buy her an Audi A6. Many businesspeople drove A6s, and it had a prestigious image. The A6 was also a long-wheelbase business sedan, perfect for Mary.
Arriving at the Audi dealership, he parked his electomobile at the entrance and walked in.
Several salespeople inside noticed a custor and two of them prepared to greet him.
A woman in the back quickly said, "Oh, he ca on an electomobile. He's probably here to enjoy the air conditioning or use the WiFi. Don't bother with him."
Hearing he ca on an electomobile, the others lost interest imdiately.
Recently, with the hot weather, poor people often ca early to enjoy the air conditioning. Sotis they shalessly sat in the display cars and refused to leave, forcing the security to intervene, which annoyed the sales staff.
Jas, riding an electomobile and wearing cheap clothes, didn't look like soone who could afford an Audi.
No one paid him any attention, but Jas didn't mind. He went straight to the A6 display area and checked out the cars. He saw that the prices ranged from 300,000 to over 600,000 yuan. The top model, the A6 long-wheelbase executive version, was over 600,000 yuan.
Honestly, the car looked pretty good!
At over 600,000 yuan, it wasn't too expensive, and Mary should be able to accept it.
So he called out, "Do you have a new top-model A6 in stock? I'd like to take one today."
The salespeople looked at him like he was crazy. One of them sneered, "Have you seen the price? Did you miss a zero?"
Jas frowned at him, "It's 618,000 yuan. I saw it."
The man sneered, "You saw it, and you're still shouting? Can you afford it? When the bill cos out and you can't pay, it'll be embarrassing with so many people watching!"
Jas said coldly, "Are you sick? Did you forget to take your dicine this morning? Do you need to call 120 and get an ambulance to take you away?"
The man sneered, "Stop showing off. Do you want to call security to kick you out? A poor guy here for the air conditioning and WiFi, and you're pretending?"
