Chapter 65: High Spirits All Around
The purchased items were handled by specialists, requiring no attention from them.
Shao Tingrui noticed Shu Lin picking out the box of Scent Blocking Patches from among the numerous products and casually slipping it into his pocket.
While waiting for the elevator, the staff from various luxury boutiques came out to see them off, only returning excitedly after they boarded the elevator.
“This is great! We’ve met this month’s sales target!”
“If only we had VVIP customers like this clearing out the store every day. It would be so easy, and we’d get to see handsome young men!”
“Speaking of which, that young man’s smile is so beautiful. How can his temperament be so gentle?”
The elevator descended slowly, and through the transparent glass, Shu Lin could see the staff on each floor, who had been cleared out, lined up to see them off.
As the elevator approached the first floor, the dazzling array of sports cars in the car exhibition hall caught Shu Lin’s eye.
“Wow!” His eyes lit up, and he approached the glass, unable to suppress his exclamation.
Eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys are interested in balls, cars, and e-sports, and the allure of sports cars is irresistible.
Shao Tingrui and Shao Yuqin followed his gaze. The lights in the car exhibition hall flickered, and two salespersons stood respectfully, watching the direction of their elevator.
Usually, they would be off work at this hour.
But tonight, with a VVIP customer booking the entire venue, they had to stay until the customer left, even though the chances of them being served were almost zero.
The VVIP customer was leaving, but no expectation could be seen in their eyes as they saw the customer off.
Arriving on the first floor, the three exited the elevator. Shao Tingrui looked ahead and raised his chin, “Let’s go, let’s take a look at the cars while we’re here.”
Shu Lin widened his almond-shaped eyes, his mouth curved into a smile, and he nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, let’s take a look, just a look.”
Shao Tingrui and Shao Yuqin exchanged a glance and smiled.
Youth is wonderful, full of vitality and a sense of novelty towards everything.
“Do you have a driver’s license?” Shao Tingrui asked.
“Yes, but I don’t drive much,” Shu Lin replied, staring at the sports cars, his eyes glazed over.
Before, he could only watch these world-famous sports cars in videos. Offline car shows like this weren’t open to just anyone; entry tickets were required.
And the organizers distributed the tickets based on specific circumstances.
Students like him and Gu Xiao were not even in the organizers’ consideration.
Now, the entire car exhibition was just for the three of them.
No, to be precise, only he was effectively “using” the exhibit.
When the two Beta salespeople saw them walking over, their eyes lit up like fully charged light bulbs, instantly becoming bright.
They quickly went up to greet them respectfully:
“Welcome! May I ask, Mr. Shao, Ms. Shao, and this gentleman, what type of car are you interested in? We can give you a detailed introduction, and of course, you can also test drive it.”
“You can even test drive?” Shu Lin asked in surprise.
The older female salesperson replied, “Yes, we can accompany you throughout the entire test drive.”
Shao Tingrui chuckled and pointed to Shu Lin, “You all keep him company while he looks around. The two old folks will wait here for him.”
The female salesperson understood and arranged, “Xiao Liu, you take this young gentleman to see the cars.”
After speaking, she turned to the other two and smiled, “Mr. Shao, Ms. Shao, please come with me to the rest area for a hot drink.”
The two followed the female salesperson to the rest area, sipping hot drinks and watching Shu Lin look at the cars from afar.
Shao Yuqin yawned and looked at her watch, “It’s almost eleven o’clock. I wonder if Bingheng and Chengxi’s dinner is over yet?”
Shao Tingrui was a little absent-minded and reacted a bit slowly, “…Oh, the butler sent me a message, they haven’t returned yet.”
Shao Yuqin laughed, “It seems that the two ‘presidents’ are in high spirits tonight, just like us.”
Shao Tingrui also smiled, “Who says they aren’t?”
If they haven’t returned by this hour, it means the president is still there, and no one can leave early.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Shu Lin returned with the salesperson named Xiao Liu, his face full of excitement.
The female salesperson quickly handed him a glass of warm water.
“Thank you.” Shu Lin smiled at her, sat down next to Shao Yuqin, and took a big gulp of water.
He was indeed a little thirsty; he was too nervous during the test drive just now.
“Oh my, you’re sweating.” Shao Yuqin took out a handkerchief and wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.
The female salesperson’s eyes widened in surprise, and she took another look at Shu Lin.
Anyone who could have Ms. Shao wipe their sweat must have an important background.
However, this young and stunningly handsome gentleman was unfamiliar.
Shao Tingrui asked Xiao Liu, “Which car did he test drive?”
Xiao Liu smiled, “The black Aston Martin Valkyrie.”
Shao Tingrui nodded, “Not bad, he has good taste. Xiao Lin, how was the test drive?”
Shu Lin put down the water glass, with a few remaining water droplets at the corner of his mouth, “It’s especially cool. It’s a supercar, indeed extraordinary.”
Shao Tingrui stood up, preparing to leave, “Then we’ll take this car. I’ll send someone over tomorrow to handle the paperwork. It’s getting late, let’s go back.”
Shu Lin looked dazed, “Ah?”
The female salesperson: “…?!?!?”
Xiao Liu: “!!!!!!”
The female salesperson and Xiao Liu wanted to kneel and raise their hands to the sky on the spot.
Heaven, earth, the heavens have finally rewarded hard work. It wasn’t in vain that the two honest people were bullied into staying to guard the store.
Even when the Shao family’s motorcade was driving smoothly back to the villa on South Mountain, Shu Lin was still a little overwhelmed.
The night was late, and there weren’t many pedestrians or vehicles on the road. Imperial Capital was rarely so quiet.
Shu Lin looked at Shao Tingrui sitting next to him and asked uncertainly:
“Grandpa, are you really going to buy me that Aston Martin?”
Shao Tingrui was closing his eyes to rest, and when he heard him ask, he didn’t open his eyes, “Yes, I’ll buy it. Grandpa said, I’ll buy you whatever you want.”
Shu Lin stuck out his little tongue.
He still had a limited perspective.
He thought that Shao Tingrui’s “whatever” mostly referred to the famous shoes he bought.
Turns out, it really meant anything and everything.
Wow, so unbelievable.
In less than half an hour, he had a sports car.
His first sports car in life.
Shu Lin raised his hand and slapped his face a few times.
Ouch…
Shao Tingrui opened his eyes upon hearing the sound, and asked in confusion, “What are you doing?”
Shu Lin smiled brightly, “I’m confirming if I’m dreaming. My face hurts, so it’s all real.”
At this point, he affectionately hooked Shao Tingrui’s arm, rubbing his small head against his shoulder, and acting cute, “Grandpa, you’re so good, thank you, Grandpa, I’m so happy today, so happy.”
Shao Tingrui’s heart was melting.
In the Shao family, he was the head of the family. People respected him, loved him, feared him, and even resented him.
But no one acted coquettishly with him like Shu Lin.
He gave each member of the Shao family a hundred times more than what he gave to Shu Lin.
Shao Tingrui couldn’t help but rub his small head, smiling and tentatively asking, “Then Grandpa will ask you, is Chengxi good to you?”
Shu Lin nodded without hesitation, “Good, all good, you are all very good to me.”
“It’s not the same. He is your Alpha. His kindness to you is different from our kindness. What Grandpa means is, do you like Chengxi?”
