Chapter 189: Chapter 188: Profit Without Capital
Gao Feng said awkwardly, "Mr. Su, the cheapest car we have here is 50,000!"
He was simply too embarrassed to say it. If it were the most expensive car, he would have seed impressive, or at least not as panicked as he was now. But when it ca to the cheapest one, he was truly ashad to even ntion it.
Su Qingxue said, "Alright, we’ll take that one then!"
Gao Feng and Ye Fan were the ones with crestfallen expressions, especially Ye Fan. How could he possibly drive a car that only cost 50,000?
"Very well. May I ask if the car is for you, Mr. Su, or for the gentleman?" he inquired.
"It’s for him," Su Qingxue replied. "Take him to see the car!"
"Right away!"
Gao Feng was thoroughly depressed. A tycoon with a net worth in the tens of billions was actually going to drive a 50,000 car. If word of this got out, people would laugh their heads off. It was just too ridiculous.
At that, Ye Fan and Gao Feng went to another corner of the showroom, arriving at the luxury car exhibition area.
Seeing Gao Feng approach, everyone from executives to regular employees greeted him respectfully. Gao Feng’s status was simply too high; his title of "Gao Yama" wasn’t for nothing.
Ye Fan said gloomily, "Bring out your cheapest car. I’ll buy it!"
"Sir, look, this is our cheapest vehicle!"
Ye Fan took one look and was left speechless. If this was the cheapest car, then there really weren’t many people in the world who could afford to drive. He glanced at the parked Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and Bugattis. The least expensive of these started at 2,000,000.
Ye Fan understood Gao Feng’s intention. On the surface, he had to maintain his aloof facade, but deep down, he was thinking, Anyone who passes up a good deal is an idiot.
So, he asked, "This Ferrari isn’t bad. What’s the asking price?"
Gao Feng said obsequiously, "Sir, if you like it, it’s on the house! For you to drive one of my cars would be a great honor for !"
His attitude was almost too accommodating.
"What kind of person do you take
for?" Ye Fan criticized him. "The price is the price. Do I look like soone who takes advantage of others?"
Gao Feng seed to understand. He quickly stamred sheepishly, "Sir, my apologies. This was all my mistake. Please forgive !"
"Actually, the Ferrari is priced at 50,000! Sir, is this price acceptable? If you think it’s unsuitable, I can reduce it further!"
Gao Feng was on the verge of tears. He was selling a car worth over 5,000,000 for a re 50,000. For anyone else, this deal would probably cost him the shirt off his back, but for Gao Feng, gifting a Ferrari to Ye Fan was a simple matter.
"It’s a bit pricey, but I suppose it’s reasonable!"
Gao Feng was so depressed he could have coughed up blood. He wanted to scream. A 5,000,000 car for 50,000 is reasonable? I’ll buy as many as you’re selling!
After looking over the vehicle, Ye Fan paid and drove out. The Ferrari looked magnificent.
When Su Qingxue saw him drive up in it, her expression imdiately soured. "Why did you buy such an expensive car? Are you planning to pick up other won behind my back?" she asked, her face stern.
But Ye Fan replied, "My dear wife, my hands were tied! He insisted on selling it to
for 50,000. What could I do? It’s not like I can control the price!"
Su Qingxue turned to Gao Feng. "Starting tomorrow, I’m revoking your mbership in the Comrcial Alliance!"
Instantly, Gao Feng collapsed onto the ground.
Having just accepted the man’s car, Ye Fan said to Su Qingxue, "My dear, threatening people isn’t our style. He did a good job!"
"Hmph! I’ll deal with you when we get ho!"
Su Qingxue walked off angrily. Gao Feng gave Ye Fan a thumbs-up, the aning clear: he admired Ye Fan for being able to handle such a formidable woman.
In Ye Fan’s opinion, there was no woman he couldn’t woo, only won who weren’t right for him.
「Back at ho」
Ye Fan felt sowhat exhausted. After all, he had expended a great deal of energy recently, so it was only normal to feel weary.
Su Qingxue said to him, "Honey, have you heard anything from Alice? She’s been gone for a long ti, and I can’t get in touch with her!"
"That little girl has a wild streak. Just let her be! She’ll co back when she gets tired of the outside world." Ye Fan knew Alice’s personality well and was sure she would return before long.
Then, Su Qingxue said, "Ye Fan, there are more and more won around you." Though she stated it simply, her aning was perfectly clear.
Ye Fan gave a sheepish grin. "I may have many won, but you will always be the one I love most!" This wasn’t a joke but his sincere feeling. If he didn’t feel that special connection with Su Qingxue, he would never have said such a thing.
Su Qingxue nodded, then said, "Honey, I’m afraid I’ll have to leave you one day!"
"What’s wrong?" Ye Fan asked quickly.
Su Qingxue spoke very calmly. "Because I think I have schizophrenia. Sotis, I feel like I’m myself, but then it feels like another consciousness is controlling !"
Ye Fan had previously thought Su Qingxue was just sleep-deprived, but it was now clear that there were complexities at play beyond his understanding.
She continued, "I always feel like there’s another
in this world. She feels so close, yet I can’t sense her presence at all. Sotis, it’s as if my own will isn’t in control."
Her words sounded quite terrifying, so Ye Fan imdiately grasped her hand.
Startled, Su Qingxue flinched. "What are you doing?"
"Quiet!" Ye Fan was taking her pulse, as he was also quite proficient in the dical arts. After a mont, he said in shock, "Your body is growing weaker and weaker, but I can’t find any cause for the illness. It’s truly strange!"
Indeed, he couldn’t detect the cause of her illness. It seed her condition didn’t originate from within her body but from so other external force.
"It’s okay. I’ve lived long enough. I’m willing to go, even if it ans death," Su Qingxue said, lying comfortably on Ye Fan’s lap.
"No," Ye Fan said firmly. "I want you to be with
until the end of ti. I will investigate your illness thoroughly, and I’m confident I can cure you." He had great faith in his dical skills and was determined to cure her, no matter how complex the illness turned out to be.
Su Qingxue’s illness troubled him deeply. Because of it, he decided to consult Zhan Xiong. As the one who commands the Huaxia Sword, Zhan Xiong had likely encountered many strange afflictions.
「In a teahouse, not long after」
Zhan Xiong said, "You really can’t sit still, can you? You stir up a storm wherever you go!"
"Heh, Senior, you flatter ," Ye Fan replied with a laugh. "In this world, you can’t always do as you please. Many tis, I have no desire to offend others, but they push
too far, and I can only respond in kind."
"Three of the world’s seven Kings are already dead. They will be replaced soon. The underworld is bound to be restless!" Zhan Xiong told him.
"It doesn’t matter. My principle is simple: if others don’t provoke , I won’t provoke them. If they recklessly seek trouble, then they shouldn’t bla
for being rciless," Ye Fan said through gritted teeth.
Zhan Xiong knew this wasn’t arrogance. Ye Fan was simply giving them a taste of their own dicine.
At that mont, Ye Fan asked, "Senior, has Master Xuantian co to see you?"
Zhan Xiong chuckled. "That old fellow won’t co looking for
just yet, but it will be soon. He is my senior brother, after all, and the best friend I’ve had in this life. I expect he’ll co find
once he has settled the affairs of the Green Emperor Sect."
Ye Fan nodded.
"Young friend," Zhan Xiong said, "You must have sothing to ask of , to arrange this eting."
"How did you know, Senior?"
Zhan Xiong laughed heartily. "You’re a busy man! You wouldn’t seek
out for a casual chat if nothing was wrong. Go on, what do you need my help with?"
"To be honest, Senior, my wife has contracted a terrifying illness. Her body grows cold, she has frequent nightmares, and she sotis faints, but we can’t find a dical cause," Ye Fan explained. "So I wanted to ask if you’ve ever seen anything like it."
Hearing this, Zhan Xiong was intrigued. An illness that even modern dicine couldn’t diagnose was strange indeed.
