Stunned Family

Seeing Jiang Jin remain so unconcerned, Wang Meili quickly jumped in, exaggeratingly explaining, "This is a limited-edition Rolls-Royce Phantom, and it hasn't even been sold yet. If the back seat gets soiled, the entire interior set will definitely have to be replaced."

Yang Chuxue immediately chimed in, "If I were the buyer, I certainly wouldn't be happy about purchasing a car with a soiled back seat."

Yang Jian nodded along as well. "According to Rolls-Royce's standard practice, this car will surely have to be shipped back to the factory for replacement. The freight costs, lost work compensation, and all sorts of miscellaneous expenses added together will probably easily exceed one million."

"The three of you are merely working-class people. If you have to pay for this, your only way out will be to sell your house."

Finally, Wang Meili seized the opportunity to deliver another blow, "Xiaojin, if you had listened to our advice in the first place, none of this would have happened. Regretting it now, aren't you?"

The onlookers gathered around could not help but resort to sneers and sarcastic remarks.

"Damn, a working-class family daring to experience a limited-edition Phantom? Where do they get the nerve?"

"If you don't have money, why try out luxury cars? You're just bringing trouble upon yourselves and others!"

"I haven't even had a chance to get in and try it out yet, and now it's ruined—no chance left."

The already pale faces of Jiang Jianye and his wife turned several shades whiter, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

This sight filled Jiang Jin with deep heartache and furious rage.

"Enough!"

Bolstered by his inner cultivation, his thunderous roar exploded like a lightning strike next to everyone's ears!

In an instant, the noisy scene fell completely silent!

Then, Jiang Jin swept his gaze across the crowd, finally letting it rest on Yang Jian's family of three.

"I'm saying, do all of you have nothing better to do with your time than stand here running your mouths?"

"This is our family's car. We can sit in it whenever we want, and soil it if we please. What the hell does it have to do with any of you?"

As his voice fell, Jiang Jin took out the car keys and climbed into the driver's seat to start the ignition.

When the roar of the engine echoed through the hall, the entire crowd was stunned!

Amidst the profound silence, a salesperson pushed through the crowd and stepped forward to announce, "Pardon me everyone, this car has already been purchased by Mr. Jiang. Today's exhibition concludes here."

Jiang Jianye and his wife were dumbfounded.

The onlookers were dumbfounded.

Yang Jian's family of three was even more utterly and completely dumbfounded.

Jiang Jin actually bought this car? How could that possibly be!

"No wonder he dared let his parents sit inside and experience it—turns out he bought the car!"

"Slapped in the face, completely slapped in the face. To think I was just lecturing them not to try out luxury cars without money; the clown was actually me all along!"

"A luxury car with a price tag of one hundred million, plus luxury car tax and insurance—it must cost a hundred and twenty million to drive it off the lot, right?"

"Hiss! Spending a hundred and twenty million to buy a car—my poverty has truly limited my imagination!"

The people who had just been mocking Jiang Jianye and his wife now realized they had all been slapped hard across the face.

Shock, envy, and confusion enveloped and overwhelmed them.

Some parents who had brought their daughters to the auto show even began plotting with Jiang Jin in mind.

"My girl, look at this young man—he's handsome, incredibly wealthy, and filial to his parents. Make sure you go up and get his WeChat later."

"Daughter, whether our family can rise to a higher social class from now on depends entirely on you."

As for the young women who had come alone or with their best friends, their eyes lit up with brilliant intensity as they resolved to get acquainted with Jiang Jin.

"Young man, the Mr. Jiang you mentioned... it couldn't be him, could it?"

Regaining his wits, Yang Jian walked up to the salesperson and pointed at Jiang Jin inside the car to ask.

He was convinced the salesperson must have made a mistake. Jiang Jin, Jiang Jianye's son—such an ordinary fellow—how could he possibly afford a luxury car worth over a hundred million?!

Faced with Yang Jian's skepticism, the salesperson replied with complete composure, "It is indeed Mr. Jiang Jin. Is there a problem?"

Yang Jian's face flushed red down to his neck in anxious exasperation, and he practically roared, "Impossible! How could he possibly afford this car?"

Wang Meili chimed in at that moment as well, "That's right, Jiang Jin is just an ordinary wage earner. Buying a nine-figure luxury car? How is that even remotely possible?"

Meanwhile, Yang Chuxue batted her large eyes, looking at the female salesperson with a mix of doubt and confusion as she whined in a spoiled tone, "Big sister, are you pulling our leg?"

They had spent quite a while showing off their superiority in front of the Jiang family. If Jiang Jin had genuinely purchased this limited-edition Phantom, where would they ever hide their faces?!

The salesperson couldn't help rolling her eyes. What kind of people were this family? Simply unable to bear seeing anyone else do well or have money?

Jiang Jianye also walked over, asking with anxious urgency, "Miss, you must have made a mistake. Where would Xiaojin ever get the money to buy such a car?"

If Yang Jian's family had no idea of Jiang Jin's wealth, that was one thing, but even Jiang Jianye was clueless? That defied all logic! After all, he had clearly heard Jiang Jin call Jiang Jianye 'Dad' just moments ago!

At this point, Jiang Jin smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, I forgot to mention this earlier, but I've been running a small business in Dongshi and made some money. Consider this car a token of your son's filial piety." With that, he gently placed the brand-new set of car keys into Jiang Jianye's hand.

However, Jiang Jianye did not take the keys. Instead, he gripped Jiang Jin's shoulders firmly and anxiously pursued, "Xiaojin, tell your father right now—what kind of business are you running in Dongshi?"

Li Yuru was equally consumed by worry. "Xiaojin, you mustn't do anything illegal!"

Wasn't there a popular saying circulating on the internet nowadays—"All ways of making quick money are written into the criminal code"?

When they spoke to him on the phone just a few weeks ago, he had still been working a regular office job. To suddenly skyrocket into immense wealth made it impossible for Jiang Jianye and his wife not to harbor suspicions.

"Dad, Mom, what are you imagining? I certainly haven't done anything bad!"

Jiang Jin's mouth twitched slightly. Then, scanning the surrounding crowd, he lowered his voice and said, "Let's go somewhere private first, and I'll explain everything slowly."

"Mr. Jiang, there is a VIP lounge in the back. You can bring your parents there," the salesperson said warmly.

"That works too. Please lead the way."

Just as Jiang Jin was about to move, he noticed Yang Jian's family of three tagging along behind them. He immediately stopped in his tracks and said with an amused smirk, "Uncle Yang, our family of three is going to talk privately. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to tag along?"

Hearing this, Yang Jian hastily plastered on a flattering smile. "Xiaojin, given the relationship between our two families, don't be so formal!"

Wang Meili chimed in right after, "Exactly, exactly. We've been close friends with your parents for many years."

"Brother Jiang Jin, Xiaoxue is also dying to know what big undertaking you pulled off in Dongshi." Yang Chuxue propped her chin in her hands, putting on a star-struck expression.

In Jiang Jin's eyes, that expression could be summed up in two words: green tea bitch!

"Fine, since you all want to know so badly, come along then."

With an amused smile, Jiang Jin followed the salesperson into the VIP lounge.

"Dad, Mom, the truth is I developed a few high-value materials, made some money from them, and then acquired a company."

Hearing this, Jiang Jianye immediately pressed on with eager impatience, "What kind of materials?"

Meanwhile, Yang Jian on the side appeared far more curious about the acquired company and quickly interjected, "What company?"

Unflustered, Jiang Jin replied, "A new type of alloy, along with high-grade carbon fiber."

"As for the company... it's the Supernova Special Materials Co., Ltd. that's been causing such a stir on the internet lately."

The moment those words left Jiang Jin's lips, Yang Jian leaped straight to his feet!

Wang Meili and her daughter underwent drastic changes in their expressions as well!

Jiang Jianye asked in bewilderment, "Old Yang, what kind of company is Supernova? Is it really that famous?"

Jiang Jianye and his wife were left completely bewildered since they rarely surfed the web and were oblivious to these matters.

Yang Jian drew a sharp breath, struggling to calm his churning emotions. "It's not a matter of whether it's famous or not. It's truly one of those... those extremely rare, immensely valuable, and lucrative companies!"

"A friend of mine works in the materials industry, and he told me this company is the leading enterprise in the carbon fiber sector, with an annual output value exceeding ten billion!"

Having said that, Yang Jian let out a heavy breath, and the way he looked at Jiang Jin completely transformed.

His own enterprise had an annual output value of merely fifty million; after deducting all sorts of costs, his yearly profit hovered around ten million or so.

Yet Supernova's annual output value exceeded ten billion. Even with a meager 10% profit margin, that translated to over one billion in revenue!

If Supernova was an elephant, his business was nothing more than an ant. Compared to Jiang Jin, his entire family were mere beggars!

Thinking back on the sarcastic remarks they had just spewed, every single one of those words now turned into invisible slaps, fiercely striking their faces and swelling their cheeks with humiliation.

"How... how much?"

Jiang Jianye pinched his own thigh hard, and only after confirming he wasn't dreaming did he ask with a trembling voice.

Yang Jian replied, "Over ten billion."
