Chapter 13: A car logo with a "B"? BYD?
"oh."
Tian Wenming's voice was indifferent: "You sold everything you owned to buy that Tank 700, right?
He scoffed, "A car worth 40 yuan isn't anything special. I used to drive a Cadillac CT6, which cost 40 yuan a few years ago."
Xiao Huang and Xiao Liu exchanged a glance, both keeping their thoughts to themselves.
Their Director Tian did indeed enjoy a period of great success a few years ago.
Unfortunately, he and his son Wu Daxing are a pair of spendthrifts, getting scammed in investments and continuing their gambling addiction.
That CT6, along with a small villa, had long been sold to pay off debts.
Tian Wenming currently drives a 2014 Cadillac XTS, which has a secondhand price of around 3 yuan.
Xiao Liu opened his mouth, wanting to correct something: the Tank 700 that Zhou Lang gave to Mi Xue cost over 70 yuan when it was first purchased.
Tian Wenming felt he had figured out Zhou Lang's thoughts and said disdainfully, "To buy a car, he emptied his savings, and maybe even took out a five-year loan to pretend to be rich. He's just putting on a show."
"This Zhou Lang is really something. He's about to be fired, and he still wants to steal away such a young and beautiful girl in the company. Does he even deserve it?"
Xiao Huang cleared his throat, and just thinking about how Tian Wenming would be embarrassed later, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Um, Director Tian, wouldn't you like to take a look?"
Xiao Huang deliberately coughed and stammered, "It's not a Tank 700... Director Zhou bought another one."
"I've never seen this car logo before. It looks like the letter B?"
Tian Wenming's mocking expression grew even more pronounced: "With the letter B?"
"BYD, right?"
"BYD's Ocean series, with its dolphin, seal, and destroyer designs, are all cheap cars."
Xiao Liu and Xiao Huang acted together: "Ah, no, Director Tian, it's a car logo with wings."
"With wings?"
Tian Wenming was taken aback, thinking to himself that Zhou Lang was really willing to go to great lengths to win over Michelle.
"A BMW Mini?"
Xiao Liu was practically grinning from ear to ear, but he kept a straight face and shook his head in denial: "I've seen the Mini, it's a very small car. Director Zhou's car is big and long, I feel it's even longer than Chairman Zhang's BMW 7 Series at headquarters, and it has a more imposing presence."
Tian Wenming grinned: "Could it be Genesis? It's a niche car brand from South Korea. It's a good car, but the sales are so bad that it just doesn't sell."
The conversation successfully piqued Tian Wenming's curiosity, and he walked dejectedly to the windowsill and glanced down.
Zhou Lang happened to be leaving get off work with He Susu and others.
He Susu playfully punched Zhou Lang twice, as if they were discussing having lunch together.
Zhou Lang opened the passenger door and invited He Susu to sit in the passenger seat.
The Bentley Flying Spur's double-winged emblem rises gracefully.
Tian Wenming's eyes widened so much they almost popped out of their sockets.
"Bentley...??"
This time, Tian Wenming felt that his face hurt even more than when Zhou Lang slapped him that night.
"Impossible! How could this be?"
Tian Wenming simply couldn't believe it: "How could he drive a car like that?"
Behind him, Xiao Huang and Xiao Liu secretly exchanged glances.
The two of them each read one word from the other's eyes: awesome!
Although the car belongs to Zhou Lang, it has nothing to do with them.
But seeing Tian Wenming jumping up and down in a panic, they felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
Through the reflection in the window, Tian Wenming wondered if it was just his imagination, but the blood vessels in his eyes looked frighteningly red.
"Wait, did you buy the older model?!"
Tian Wenming tried to find clues to convince himself.
"Those old Bentleys from over a decade ago, modified from older models and refurbished for weddings, used to make videos on Kuaishou (a Chinese short video platform) to pick up girls!"
Xiao Liu immediately took out his phone: "Director Zhou's license plate number is quite easy to remember, Qi X8B888. With the license plate number, you can find out his car model."
Tian Wenming suddenly turned around: "Xiao Liu, you have connections like that? You know someone in the traffic police?"
Xiao Liu rolled his eyes inwardly and muttered under his breath, "Country bumpkin..."
On the surface, he had to remain calm and collected, and he showed the Dongchedi and Taobao interfaces on his phone.
"Director Tian, both of these apps have a free function to check car models."
"Look, I found it, a 24 Bentley Flying Spur... M something something, I don't recognize it."
"Mulliner, the Mulliner version, is a more premium version than the regular Bentley."
Xiao Huang added that he felt he was just adding insult to injury: "It's like Audi has a regular A8, but also a more expensive Horch version of the A8, right?"
……
Meanwhile, Zhou Lang was unaware that a Bentley had infuriated Tian Wenming to the point of nearly fainting.
He drove his colleague, He Susu, to meet up with her two best friends for lunch.
He Susu made a peace sign, held it to her face, and took a series of selfies.
Her head was partially obscuring the Muller letter embroidery under the headrest, so she tilted her head to deliberately show it.
"A luxury car worth millions is just not the same as my Geely Xingyue L," He Susu sighed softly.
Zhou Lang's gaze swept over the interior of the Bentley. What caught his eye was the two-tone leather in linen white and imperial blue, a pleasing color combination. The diamond pattern on the seats and doors also exuded luxury.
Previously, Zhou Lang had never driven a luxury car. He just felt that the Bentley was indeed more stylish and comfortable to sit in than the Xingyue L that He Susu mentioned.
However, he didn't have a precise idea of how big the difference was.
So Zhou Lang casually joked, "Right, sis? A good Bentley is no worse than a Xingyue L."
"Actually, when I was buying a car, I also considered the Geely Xingyue L. It's a top-selling domestic gasoline SUV, and the interior quality is quite good value for money. It costs over 100,000 yuan, but I thought it was too expensive and didn't buy it."
He Susu gave him a helpless glare.
You can't bear to buy a Geely for less than 200,000 yuan, so you'll have to make do with your Bentley Flying Spur, right?
"Little brother, everyone else is doing just fine being poor, how come you're driving a Bentley?"
He Susu sent the photos she had just taken to her husband: "I'm going to scare my husband a little by saying that I've met a male best friend who drives a Bentley, so that he'll feel a little threatened."
"Sis, take it easy. Your husband and the kids are showing up at noon, what are we going to do?"
"It's alright, your brother-in-law trusts me completely. Look, he just heard the news that even a blind man driving a Bentley wouldn't be interested in a married woman like me."
He Susu covered her mouth and laughed, "Oh ho!" "Not necessarily. Are there some rich people who especially like to hunt down married women? Married women have more charm, you know? What's that word again?"
"Pao Liang?" Zhou Lang was driving and didn't dare to be distracted. He knew he had been exposed as soon as he opened his mouth without warning.
Sure enough, He Susu said with a teasing look, "Little brother, you watch a lot of porn, don't you? I'll stay away from you when we eat later, or you'll ruin my family. I don't want to get pregnant with a second child so soon, hahaha~"
Zhou Lang glanced at He Susu and saw that she had the financial power of the "Baby Academy" above her head. He could clearly see the probability of He Susu "cheating" on him.
[Status: Inactive; Probability of becoming girlfriend: 0.01%]
As before, it's negligible.
"Come on, sis. You and your husband have such a good relationship. I can't possibly drag you down with me, you decent girl."
He Susu laughed even more happily: "Sister isn't young anymore. But since you're so lovable to your sister, if there are any young and beautiful girls, I'll keep an eye out and introduce them to you. I guarantee they'll be stunningly beautiful, a perfect match for the passenger seat of your Bentley~"
