Chapter 47 Malicious Joy

While the two of them were inside the car experiencing its luxury, Jiang Jin approached a salesperson at the Rolls-Royce booth.

With a calm smile and an easygoing tone, he asked, "Excuse me, how much is this Phantom?"

The salesperson was slightly taken aback, muttering inwardly: *What... what do you mean by asking how much this Phantom is? You're asking like you're buying vegetables at a local market!*

He then looked Jiang Jin up and down for a moment, noticing that Jiang Jin was dressed very plainly.

Fortunately, he had received professional training, which allowed him to reply politely.

"This is a Phantom, limited to 10 units worldwide. The price is exactly one hundred million yuan."

"Oh, just swipe the card, then," Jiang Jin said, pulling out a bank card.

The salesperson was completely dumbfounded!

*What the hell? He just asked for the price, and now he wants to swipe his card?*

*Is he messing with me?!*

*Or did this guy mishear the price?*

*That shouldn't be, my Mandarin is very standard!*

Just as the salesperson stood there in bewildered suspicion, not knowing what to do, Jiang Jin saw that he wasn't reacting and couldn't help frowning, pressing further: "What, is this car not for sale?"

"It's for sale, absolutely for sale! Please follow me to the back office, and I'll process the paperwork for you."

Recovering his wits, the salesperson became more than ten times more enthusiastic than before!

Not long after Jiang Jin went to the back office with the salesperson, Jiang Jianye and his wife noticed he had vanished.

The main reason the two of them had dared to sit inside the car in the first place was because Jiang Jin had been there encouraging them.

Now that Jiang Jin was gone, they began to feel uneasy.

Just as the two of them were hurriedly getting out of the car, Li Yuru accidentally brushed against the water bottle she was carrying.

As ill luck would have it, the cap hadn't been screwed on tightly, and the water inside spilled out, soaking a large patch of the back seat!

At that moment, Li Yuru froze on the spot as if struck by lightning!

Seeing this scene unfold, Jiang Jianye felt his heart skip a beat, and he muttered to himself, "It's over."

The surrounding car enthusiasts all gasped in unison!

"No way, she actually spilled tea on the back seat of a Rolls-Royce Phantom?"

"You've got to be kidding me. This is a luxury car worth over a hundred million. How much is she going to have to pay for ruining the back seat?"

"Just looking at what they're wearing, they're obviously not wealthy people. These two are finished."

"Who goes looking at luxury cars if they have no money? And even if you look, why insist on sitting inside to experience it? Now look what's happened!"

Yang Jian's family also witnessed the scene and quickly stepped onto the platform.

Yang Jian asked anxiously, "Old Jiang, what's going on?"

"Y... Yuru, she... she spilled her tea on the back seat."

Turning around, Jiang Jianye looked pale, his trembling voice on the verge of tears!

Slapping his thigh in dismay, Yang Jian complained, "Aiya, Old Jiang, what am I supposed to say about you guys!"

Wang Meili, standing nearby, couldn't help chiming in. Frowning, she said with a hint of reproach, "Didn't I just say not to let you guys sit inside? But you refused to listen. Look where it's gotten you now."

Yang Chuxue looked at the soiled seat with a worried expression and muttered under her breath, "It's over. I heard the rear seats of a limited-edition Rolls-Royce Phantom cost a million yuan. Since Auntie got it dirty, they're definitely going to make her replace the whole thing."

"What?"

Li Yuru felt darkness wash over her eyes and almost fainted from fright.

"A million yuan? Where on earth are we going to get that kind of money?"

Jiang Jianye's face turned equally white, as if he had plunged into an icy abyss.

Meanwhile, in the Rolls-Royce back office.

Holding a calculator, the salesperson said expectantly, "Mr. Jiang, the delivery price is an even 100 million. With purchase tax and insurance included, the total comes to 120 million. Will you be swiping your card now?"

Nearby, the Rolls-Royce staff looked at Jiang Jin with rather strange expressions.

Did this young man dressed in Li-Ning sportswear really have the financial muscle to buy a 100-million-yuan luxury car? The credibility seemed rather low!

Jiang Jin nodded. "Mhm, swipe the card."

Under the nervous gaze of all the staff members, Jiang Jin entered his password, and the POS machine slowly spat out a receipt.

A staff member couldn't help gasping aloud!

"Good lord, a full 120 million! He actually swiped it successfully?"

"The wildest part is how calm his expression is, as if he just bought a fifty-cent lollipop at a convenience store!"

"That is simply absurd!"

The other staff members were equally speechless.

"Damn, it turns out he's a super rich second-generation heir pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger."

"And this isn't even some city in the south, plus he's not wearing oversized shorts and slippers."

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. The 'T2000 Carbon Fiber Series Mission (Part 2)' has been completed. Mission rewards are being distributed...]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. The production speed of T2000-grade carbon fiber has been increased to 1 ton per 24 hours, and you have received 100,000 system points as a reward.]

[Ding! Host, you have a new mission.]

[Mission: T2000 Carbon Fiber Series Mission (Part 3)]

[Mission Objective: Accumulate a total consumption of 1 billion Dragon Country currency.]

[Mission Rewards: The T2000-grade carbon fiber production speed will be increased to 10 tons per 24 hours, 1 million system points, and the photolithography machine series missions will be unlocked.]

[In addition, there are the X Alloy Series Mission (Part 3) and the Carbon Fiber Series Mission (Part 4).]

[Choose one of three missions. Abandoned missions will appear again in future refreshes. Please make your choice within 10 seconds.]

*Photolithography machine series missions? Now that's some good stuff!*

Jiang Jin's eyes lit up instantly, his heart surging with excitement.

As everyone knew, Dragon Country currently faced significant restrictions from Western countries in the chip industry.

The hardest-hit victim of this blow was a certain smartphone manufacturer, which was now nearly running out of chips to use.

If he could obtain a 7nm photolithography machine by completing missions, all these difficulties would be solved instantly!

With that thought, Jiang Jin made his choice without hesitation.

"Mr. Jiang, please keep your bank card safe."

The salesperson handed the card back to Jiang Jin with both hands, his tone respectful.

Jiang Jin asked, "That car outside belongs to me now, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it definitely belongs to you!"

The salesperson hurriedly retrieved the car keys and respectfully handed them to Jiang Jin.

"Alright, have someone handle the remaining paperwork for me. I'm going to drive."

Taking the keys, Jiang Jin stood up and walked outside.

After giving the other staff members a meaningful look, the salesperson hurried to follow him.

Back on the exhibition platform, Jiang Jianye and his wife stood helplessly beside the limited-edition Phantom, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers eager for a show.

"You guys warned them beforehand?"

Hearing what Yang Jian and his wife had to say, the gossip-hungry onlookers grew interested.

"Yeah, I warned him right down there not to go inside and experience it. Look what happened now?"

Yang Jian shook his head, putting on a heartbroken expression.

"Ai, I anticipated something like this would happen, but they simply wouldn't listen!"

Wang Meili shook her head and sighed, completely unable to hide the schadenfreude on her face.

"Tsk, failing to listen to elders brings immediate suffering."

"That's what you call good words won't persuade a ghost set on dying!"

"Heed advice and you'll never go hungry; when you're out and about, you've got to listen to advice."

The onlookers chattered away, every single sentence landing like a sharp blade piercing the hearts of Jiang Jianye and his wife, draining whatever color remained in their pale faces.

Seeing the couple's expressions, Wang Meili felt a wave of satisfaction, and the displeasure she had felt earlier from being rejected by Jiang Jin dissipated by more than half.

Frowning as her gaze swept the surroundings, Wang Meili asked in confusion, "Eh, where's Xiaojin? Could it be that he ran off because he was afraid of taking the blame?"

Hearing this, Yang Jian's face darkened, and he spoke with a trace of dissatisfaction and reproach: "If that's true, then Jiang Jin is really out of line. No matter what, Old Jiang and Yuru are his biological parents—how could he just ditch them and run away by himself?"

At that moment, as if suddenly remembering something, Wang Meili asked hastily, "Right, where did the staff member go? I remember he was standing right over there just a moment ago."

Yang Jian shook his head to indicate he had no idea, speculating, "Probably stepped out for something. Old Jiang, even if the staff isn't here, don't even think about running away—there are security cameras everywhere, you know."

"Who wants to run away?! I'll pay whatever needs to be paid. Even if I have to smash our pots and sell our iron to scrape the money together, I'll pay it back. I, Jiang Jianye, take responsibility for my actions!"

Roaring like an enraged lion, Jiang Jianye suddenly shouted!

He had only been startled earlier—when had he ever said anything about running away? He, Jiang Jianye, had never done anything so spineless!

*What on earth are Yang Jian and his wife yapping on about?!*

Startled, the crowd fell somewhat quiet.

Right at that moment, Jiang Jin walked back over.

Hearing his father's loud roar, his expression shifted slightly. He quickly pushed through the crowd to stand before Jiang Jianye and asked with concern, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Seeing Jiang Jin return, Jiang Jianye and his wife let out a collective sigh of relief.

Though the elderly couple didn't truly believe their son would abandon them and flee, the words of Yang Jian and his wife had still planted a seed of doubt.

Now, seeing their son back, that worry instantly vanished.

Before Jiang Jianye could open his mouth, Wang Meili chimed in with gloating satisfaction.

"Xiaojin, your mom spilled her tea on the back seat of the Phantom."

Jiang Jin was completely stunned.

"Just that?"

"Brother Jiang Jin, you don't think everything's fine as long as they just clean it up, do you?"

Yang Chuxue asked with a bizarre expression.

Jiang Jin pondered for two seconds.

"Otherwise?"
