Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 532 - 504 Buying a Car
"Hooligan."
He Qianqian shouted, followed by the sweet sounds of their playful quarrel.
As He Jing had said, because the road was under construction, there were no taxis available at night. Lin Tian and He Qianqian had been standing outside for twenty minutes. He Qianqian's thighs had been bitten by mosquitoes, creating two big welts, yet still no taxi had arrived.
Lin Tian was also upset, thinking to himself that it was time to buy a car; not having one was just too inconvenient.

Then, with a mischievous smile, Lin Tian looked at He Qianqian, wrapped his arms around her waist, kissed her, and said, "Big wifey, it's almost ten o'clock, we can't get a taxi, how about we go to a hotel? If we go to your place, your parents and brother will be there, and I won't be able to relax, and I'm sure you won't be able to either. Come on, let's go to a hotel."
Lin Tian pulled He Qianqian towards a hotel.
"Stop, stop, stop." He Qianqian broke free from Lin Tian's hand.
"You're never serious, always thinking dirty thoughts. I've told you, my parents are very traditional. If we go to a hotel on your first visit, my parents will lecture me. No matter what, we have to go home today, even if we have to crawl."
"But your dad has already called me son-in-law, and he agreed. I guess your dad also hopes we would get together and then he could look forward to hugging his grandson."
"What are you saying? You always have dirty thoughts on your mind. No, we have to go home today."
They waited and waited, and after ten more minutes, still no taxi had come.
"Big wifey, look, it's past ten and there's still no taxi. Let's go to a hotel," Lin Tian pleaded, his hand restlessly moving up He Qianqian's waist.
"Get your paws off me, let's wait a bit longer," He Qianqian glared at Lin Tian and shouted.
"Come on, big wifey, really, there are no taxis left," Lin Tian cajoled and finally made He Qianqian give up on the idea; she decided to go to the hotel.
"Let's go to that Couples' Hotel, the facilities there must be state-of-the-art," Lin Tian thought excitedly.
"Beep, beep, beep…!"
At the crucial moment, a sound rang out that made Lin Tian despair; damn it, a taxi had arrived.
"The taxi's here!" He Qianqian shouted, quickly waving her hand.
Lin Tian felt disappointed. On one hand, there was the couple's hotel where they could have been ecstatic together; on the other was He Qianqian's small house, where her entire family was present, possibly even needing to split Lin Tian and He Qianqian into separate rooms.
Lin Tian was so frustrated, he really didn't want to go back.
He came up with a plan and rushed over to the taxi driver to ask, "Driver, how much to Wanghe Village?"
The driver looked very tired and said irritably, "The roads around here are under construction, and they are closed at night. To go to Wanghe Village, we must take a detour. The fare is double, 600 yuan!"
"What, 600 yuan!" Lin Tian feigned shock. "Let's go, that's too expensive. It only cost me 150 when I came here."
"Young man, you're not speaking fairly. Day and night are different. The roads are hard to navigate at night, and it's a detour. 600 is actually very cheap. If you don't take it, you'll have to sleep on the street tonight," the driver said.
"No way, let's go, it's too expensive," Lin Tian waved his hand quickly, signaling the driver to scamper off.
The driver glared at Lin Tian and started the engine, ready to drive off.
"Wait a minute, driver," He Qianqian caught up from behind.
Lin Tian quickly turned back and whispered, "Big wifey, he's a scammer, asking for 600 yuan, that's too expensive, we shouldn't let him scam us."
He Qianqian pinched Lin Tian and said, "Naughty Lin Tian, don't think I don't know what you're up to. You just paid 1.5 million, and now you're complaining about 600 yuan? Get in the car quick."
Lin Tian, with no other options left, sadly got into the vehicle. His last trick had been exposed; it seemed he had no choice but to obediently return to He Qianqian's home. Thinking about her parents and younger brother also being there really worried Lin Tian!
When they returned to He Qianqian's house, her parents had already gone to bed, and He Dong was still waiting for them.
To Lin Tian's surprise, His in-laws had actually allowed He Qianqian and him to sleep in a separate room, with the blankets already spread out for a double.
Lin Tian was secretly thrilled, thinking, "Big wifey always says her parents are traditional and conservative, but this doesn't seem conservative at all, they're more open-minded than city folks."
With a whoosh, Lin Tian jumped into bed, stripped bare, waiting for He Qianqian to join him.
He Qianqian was washing her feet, applying a face mask, and removing her makeup; Lin Tian waited for her for more than forty minutes before she finally got into bed.
And He Qianqian, goodness knows what she was thinking, still wore pajamas to bed, but luckily Lin Tian was quick, and he stripped them off her in a flash.
What followed was madness; imagine ten thousand words yourself!
…, ….
"Time to eat, time to eat." Lin Tian was still deep in sleep when He Qianqian's voice woke him up.
Yesterday was too crazy; they didn't sleep until two in the morning, so Lin Tian was still quite groggy when he got up.
After everyone had breakfast together, Lin Tian took He Qianqian to buy a car. Last night, if he had had a car, they wouldn't have had to wait on the curb for so long, so Lin Tian decided to buy one.
They reached the street corner, Lin Tian hailed a taxi, and told the driver to head to the biggest car dealership in Yunhai City.
On the way, He Qianqian asked Lin Tian, "What kind of car do you plan to buy?"
"You decide, anything you like is fine, as long as it can drive and doesn't use too much fuel."
The two arrived at the largest car dealership.
"Hello, may I ask what kind of car would you two like to buy?" a beautiful waitress, wearing a professional smile, inquired.
"Let's have a look first, we'll find you later," Lin Tian said.
"Okay," said the gorgeous waitress, smiling professionally again.
Once the beautiful waitress returned to her station, she immediately started discussing with a few other waitresses.
"Pssh, broke bum, look at that guy, he's covered in flea market clothes, the woman is pretty though, but her clothes aren't worth much, they can, at most, buy a domestic Xiali, and the lower-end model too, fifty thousand bucks, and that's stretching it."
Another waitress commented; the waitresses here, while not required to have any educational degree, must all have three qualities.
First, they must be pretty; second, they need to be eloquent; third, and most important, they must be able to determine from attire and demeanor whether a person has money.
Some customers, when asking about cars, could take up to two hours, and a waitress couldn't serve many customers in a day. Without some skill in judging people, their time would be wasted on those just looking and not buying.
Only by assessing whether customers have money could they prioritize and aim for the highest efficiency.
They saw Lin Tian as just a student, and He Qianqian also appeared to be a student, not dressed in any brand names, so they decided to just go through the motions with Lin Tian, seeing as he couldn't possibly afford a car.
"Hey, look at those two, they're actually walking towards the luxury cars in Zone C, can they even afford it? Shameless."
"The guy's probably just faking being poor, and the girl seems pretty materialistic. Girls these days, so easy to deceive, looking at them holding hands, they really seem sweet."
The waitresses behind silently disdained and discussed.
....., ..... .
This car dealership was huge; for ease of selection for the customers, it was divided into four areas, A, B, C, D.
Area A was the most expensive, consisting only of limited edition sports cars, each costing over fifty million.
Area B consisted of contemporary luxury cars, priced between five million to fifty million.
Area C had cars like BMW and Mercedes-Benz, generally priced between three hundred thousand to five million, which the public could usually afford, making it the most populated area.
Area D had domestic cars priced between fifty thousand to three hundred thousand, with the cheapest being the domestic Xiali, priced at fifty thousand.
Lin Tian reached Zone C and, pointing to one car after another worth four to five hundred thousand, said, "Big Wife, which one do you like? I'll buy it."
He Qianqian looked around and said, "I really don't know much about cars, you pick!"
Lin Tian felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Big Wife, actually, I don't know much about cars either. Let's not focus on the performance and all that, just choose by color; whatever color you like, I'll buy."
He Qianqian thought for a moment and then said cheerfully, "I like fire red, let's buy a fire red car!"
Lin Tian nodded, but after looking around in Zone C, he didn't find any fire red cars.
He called out, "Waitress, do you have any fire red cars?"
A nearby waitress thought disdainfully, "Broke and still picky, a Ferrari is fire red, can you afford it? Over eighty million, an Audi R8 is also fire red, over two million, can you afford that?"
Though she disdained inwardly, the waitress approached Lin Tian with a professional smile and said, "Hello, I'm very sorry, we don't have any fire red cars here; you can mention the model, color, or brand you want, and we can contact the manufacturer to custom order it. However, the price will be somewhat higher."
"How long will it take to get it?" Lin Tian asked.
For the sake of his "Big Wife's" request, Lin Tian wanted to do his best to fulfill it.
The waitress showed displeasure and thought, 'Fat chance, you can't even afford a plain car, and you want a custom one?'
The waitress coldly said, "It will take at least half a year, and you'll need to pay half of the car costs in advance. The price for a custom car will not be less than one million three hundred thousand."
Lin Tian was a bit upset, both because of the waitress's attitude and all the hassle just to buy a car—it was truly bothersome.
He Qianqian held Lin Tian's hand and, looking unhappy, advised, "Alright, let's not get a fire red car, don't be upset, we can just buy a grey one."
Lin Tian felt somewhat guilty towards He Qianqian, but it was an unavoidable situation; he needed a car now and couldn't wait another six months to buy one!
Just then, a young man with parted hair, wearing an expensive suit, accompanied by a glamorous woman, walked in.
The waitress attending Lin Tian immediately changed her demeanor; from aloof a moment ago to enthusiastic as fire now.
The waitress quickly left Lin Tian and ran towards the young man.
The young man asked, "I'm interested in that fire red Audi R8, is it still available?"
