Chapter 454 Script Couple
"Mr. Han, Ms. Han, welcome to the Aston Martin Beverly Hills branch."

"My name is Austin Day, and I'm one of the six sales specialists in this store. It's an honor to see you two here today."

Adjusting the black-framed glasses on his nose, Austin hurried forward and extended his hands to Han Yi and Zhao Youzhen to express his welcome.

"Good morning, Austin."

While responding to the sales specialist's greeting, Han Yi secretly glanced back out of the corner of his eye.

The sunlight that shines through the thin clouds onto the land of Los Angeles is already very dazzling, and Zhao Youzhen has already applied a layer of 5% transmittance colored film to the windshield of this Audi A70, which not only protects against the sun, but also prevents peeping under such strong light.

It’s better not to see it, it’s better not to see it.

"Good morning, Mr. Han... Morning greetings to you as well, Ms. Han. It's a pleasure to finally meet you."

"Me too."

Zhao Youzhen naturally took Han Yi's arm, looked up at her "husband", and her gentle smile showed her grace and elegance.

"Babe, I've been talking to Austin about our car for weeks and he has been so helpful. One of the friendliest and most professional sales reps I've ever met in any field."

"I just did my best to help you confirm what you already knew. I didn't do much. In fact, most of the preparations were done before you contacted me." Austin naturally would not take credit for these insignificant things. He smiled modestly and returned all the compliments. "Mr. Han, I know I shouldn't say this, but I have to say it because this is the fact - you married a real gem."

"That's okay, Austin, because I've been telling people the same truth."

Han Yi plays the role of a wife-doting madman and a good husband with ease.

After all, he has experienced actual combat more than once.

"I'm the luckiest guy in the world."

"Baby, stop talking." But Zhao Youzhen, who played the role of a newlywed wife for the first time, acted a little exaggerated, "I'm blushing."

"Aw, seeing such a lovely couple makes Monday so much happier."

Austin leaned back and let out a typical American exaggerated exclamation.

When it comes to over-the-top, exaggerated acting, no one can match the native-born Americans.

"Can I invite you two into our exhibition hall?"

"After you."

The simple decoration in off-white tones fully highlights the brand's luxury positioning. The high-quality herringbone wood flooring adds warmth and texture to the overall look. The vehicles are arranged in an orderly manner, making each one an art installation that can be purchased at any time, rather than just a product. The lighting design is soft, just enough to highlight the contours and gloss of the vehicles.

Low-key yet refined, practical and ornamental, the showroom of this Aston Martin branch is similar to the O'Gara luxury car dealerships on both sides of Wilshire Boulevard, as it maximizes the richness and imagination in a limited space. However, since it is a specialty store that only sells Aston Martins, the elements in the store are naturally more unified and more centered on the brand itself.

For example, on the back of the display wall in the lobby, there are dozens of paint samples hanging in various colors and materials. Obviously, if customers want to customize the body of Aston Martin, the sales representative will bring them here to finalize the materials. On the other side of the structural wall, the dealer made a built-in cabinet design, which is full of official peripherals of the F1 Red Bull team, from racing models to replica steering wheels, to racing suits and team commemorative yearbooks.

Starting this year, Aston Martin returned to the F1 arena as a sponsor of the Red Bull Racing team, which is one of their main ways to boost brand awareness and consumer purchasing desire after experiencing a general sales decline worldwide in 2015.

"Mr. Han, Ms. Han, may I prepare some drinks for you two? We have a variety of juices, the best coffee in the neighborhood, or... we can also have some champagne for this day worth celebrating."

"The best coffee in the neighborhood?" Han Yi raised his eyebrows and jokingly said, "For a car dealer, this is a pretty bold slogan."

"Pffft, believe me, compared to our coffee, the coffee at Audi next door tastes like water in an ashtray." At this point, Austin Day spread his hands and deliberately apologized to Zhao Youzhen humorously, "No offense, Ms. Han."

"I'm not offended." Zhao Youzhen, who held Han Yi's arm and leaned against him, was in a very happy state of mind and body. "I didn't buy the car in the store next door."

"That's good, because that store is crawling with extremely scary people... Just a joke." Austin laughed dryly. "But seriously, we offer three types of coffee beans here. Tanzanian round beans, Panama Paradise roasted coffee beans, and Ethiopian Harar coffee beans. Especially the Panama one, you can't find it in any coffee shop in Los Angeles. It is mainly purchased by a few private coffee lovers because the price of 20 grams is $400."

"It sounds like your boss is one of those rare avid coffee lovers."

Han Yi was indeed quite surprised to hear this price, because for him, the highest price he could accept was 7 dollars for a 16-ounce Spanish latte at % Arabica Coffee Shop, and any higher price would be impolite.

"Yes, Mr. O'Gara is..."

"Wait a minute." Han Yi couldn't help but interrupt Austin. "Your boss is Mr. O'Gara? The Mr. O'Gara from O'Gara Luxury Cars?"

"Yes, Thomas O'Gara." Feeling the unusualness in Han Yi's tone, Austin maintained a warm smile and carefully observed the clues he should pay attention to. "We are one of the five showrooms under the Beverly Hills branch of O'Gara Luxury Cars, and the only single-brand franchise store... Do you know Mr. O'Gara himself, Mr. Han?"

"What's wrong, baby?" Yuzhen was still immersed in the joy of role-playing and didn't notice anything unusual. She squeezed Han Yi's arm and brought them closer together. "Who is Mr. O'Gara?"

"Do you still remember the number plates of the three cars at home? The English letters engraved on the borders?" Han Yi whispered in Chinese in Yuzhen's ear, "I bought all three cars at O'Gara Car Dealership... This Aston Martin store also happens to belong to O'Gara."

“Doesn’t that mean…” Youzhen’s eyes widened a little.

"What version of the story did you tell them?" Han Yi was about to coordinate his testimony with his wife. "What are our identities?"

"A couple who just graduated from college and want to settle down in Los Angeles." Yuzhen couldn't help but smile, "The parents also support them and provided some start-up capital."

"If that's the case... the car can't be named after me." Han Yi rolled his eyes, "Because once my identity information is entered, they will definitely find it..."

"Don't even think about it." Yuzhen hit back directly.

"Then we'll have to revise your story."

Han Yi sighed inwardly, then raised his head with a smile and nodded to Austin.

"Excuse me, Austin, my wife just asked me some questions."

"It's okay, Mr. Han." Austin smiled as always. He had received countless foreign clients, and many of them needed accurate translation and detailed explanation. Many of them would start speaking other languages ​​while chatting. As a luxury car sales representative, he was already accustomed to this conversation mode of pausing and continuing at any time.

"To answer your question - no, I don't know Thomas O'Gara personally, but we have a purchase record at O'Gara's Automotive Store." Han Yi raised his arm, "It's registered under the name Yi Han. Maybe you want to check your database first...assuming your customer database is shared."

"Our customer list is indeed shared." Austin Day thought for a moment, then turned sideways and showed the reception area that he was blocking. "Then please take a seat and enjoy your drinks. I'll get my iPad to check if there are any additional discounts for you. If there is a previous consumption record, maybe we can give you a better loan policy and additional benefits."

"No problem, take your time...what would you like to drink, dear?"

"I'll just drink whatever you want." Yuzhen wrinkled her nose, acting obedient and clingy.

"Then please give us two cups of coffee, Tanzania, Panama, Ethiopia, anywhere is fine."

"Of course...Jane, please make me two cups of Panama coffee, thank you! Mr. Han, Ms. Han, please take a rest first. My assistant will soon serve you drinks and snacks...I'll be back soon."

"so annoying."

Glancing at Austin Day's back, Youzhen crossed her arms, pouted, and sat next to Han Yi, sulking.

"what happened?"

“How come you know everyone?” Yujin muttered, “If I had known, I would have chosen the store in Newport Beach.”

"I don't quite understand. Is this important?" Han Yi was confused. "I didn't know this store belonged to O'Gara... and why did I have to go to a store that doesn't know me?"

"Because I've already thought of the entire background story and the character settings." Yuzhen used her fingertips to draw an invisible rainbow in front of her eyes, "Even that... character arc, I've thought of it."

"So serious?" Han Yi was touched by the cuteness of this girl who was usually serious but always acted silly when she was with him. "Then what is my character arc?"

"A playboy who couldn't resist the temptation of women finally became a loyal and faithful good man after meeting true love."

"The coffee is here!"

I really asked unnecessary questions.

Han Yi thanked the assistant who brought him the coffee, and then couldn't wait to pick up the cup and take a sip.

It didn’t matter if he got burned, it didn’t matter if there was no milk or sugar, and it wasn’t a big deal if it was so bitter that he stuck out his tongue—all he needed was a tool to change the subject.

"Wow, it smells really good. Try this coffee bean."

Perhaps because the coffee Han Yi handed her was the same one he had just drunk, Yuzhen did not pursue his obvious evasion. The Korean girl left a light red lip print on the porcelain cup and glanced at him in reproach.

“It’s very bitter.”

"I'll add sugar for you." Han Yi declined Austin's assistant's offer and adjusted the ratio of milk and sugar himself. "Don't be unhappy. We can always make up a new story."

"Then you come." Yuzhen raised his hand, his eyes sparkling with excited anticipation.

"Then... are you still husband and wife?" Han Yi asked tentatively.

"What else?" Zhao Youzhen widened his eyes.

“I just graduated and want to put down roots in Los Angeles…” “Yeah.”

"But it's a little richer than you revealed before."

"How do you explain it specifically?" Yuzhen touched his cheek, "I told Austin before that we have never bought a sports car. This is the first one."

"We can say... yes, that's it." Han Yi thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He patted his thigh and suggested, "We can say that you used your own money to prepare a birthday surprise for me, so you don't want to reveal too much."

"And I didn't know that this Aston Martin had any relationship with that... O'Gara." Zhao Youzhen helped Han Yi complete the chain of logic. "We are both low-key people and don't want to show off everywhere."

"Yes, this is very important." Han Yi nodded seriously and continued to compile, "And the reason why I mentioned my customer information is because I just found out that this store is also related to O'Gara, so I want to see if I can get some discounts to help my wife save some money... Although it is her own money, as a husband, I still feel very sad."

"Your voice is a little soft." Yujin lowered his head and put his ear close to his mouth. "You just said, 'So I want to see' what?"

"I want to see if I can get a discount to help my wife save some money." Han Yi was stunned. "Is my voice soft? Not soft, right?"

"I heard it clearly this time." Yuzhen cleared his throat and hid his smug smile, "Also, what you just said is also correct. If this car is to be registered to you, then they will also check the customer information. There is no way to avoid it no matter what."

"Yes."

"So shall we continue to follow this script?"

"Okay." Han Yi held out his little finger, "It's a deal."

"It's a deal." Yuzhen looked down at the two intertwined little fingers and added, "Husband."

No, your calling me "husband" and your shy expression that seemed to want to say something but couldn't...

This is a serious violation!
Han Yi felt as if all the blood in his body was drained from his heart and went straight to his cerebral cortex, making him dizzy and disoriented for a moment.

"Don't be in a daze, he's coming."

Yuzhen also looked like she had just come out of a natural hot spring in Big Sur, with a rosy glow all over her body, comfortable and ecstatic. However, as the initiator, she at least had not completely crashed like Han Yi.

Yuzhen patted her husband's arm, and her right hand naturally slid into Han Yi's left hand, which had just made a pinky promise with her, and clasped them tightly.

"Hi, Austin." The girl gave the sales representative a perfect, radiant smile. "Did you find it?"

"Ah, yes, yes."

Many beautiful guests have come and gone, but Austin was still a little dazed by the ultimate charm that Zhao Youzhen exuded from her daughter's demeanor.

"I have found Mr. Han's customer information... I am sorry to say this only now, but on behalf of the Aston Martin Beverly Hills branch and all the team members of O'Gara Motors, I warmly welcome you to visit our store again and give us your trust again."

But soon, Austin forced himself to sober up and continue his enthusiastic and more humble service.

He had to do this because the man sitting in front of him was one of the most wealthy and powerful customers who had made the most transactions with O'Gara Luxury Cars in 2016.

McLaren P162 for $1 million.

Ferrari 141 GTO Revival for $250 million.

Two top-of-the-line sports cars, paid in full at one time.

There is also a $25 Bentley Bentayga that I bought more than two months later. The purpose of buying the car is... daily transportation.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just take the McLaren P1 as an example. The standard version and limited edition together have less than 450 units. Who are the owners?

Ralph Lauren.

Jay Leno.

Lewis Hamilton.

Elon Musk.

Sultan of Brunei!

"Our branch manager, Angelica Ortiz, will be in the store in a few minutes, along with our finance manager, Julie Wall, who will be explaining our special membership program to you and how it will provide you with... uh, financial benefits and protection."

Austin himself couldn't help laughing when he said this.

Special membership program?

Financial benefits and security?

What kind of financial benefits and protection does a customer who spends three million dollars in cash to buy a car in one afternoon need?

"Ah, thank you so much." Han Yi raised his left hand to show Austin the symbol of his and Yuzhen's love. "My wife just found a job in Los Angeles and started making her own money - to be honest, she makes more than I do here, haha. So she wanted to buy this birthday present with her own money... and I didn't know this news until today!"

At this point, Han Yi turned his head and closed the distance between himself and Yu Zhen, speaking in an intimate and doting tone. In this way, he tried to follow the script they had agreed on and consolidate his role as a wife-loving maniac and a new good man.

But he never expected that after a moment of stunned silence, Yuzhen would actually come close to him like this.

Foreheads to foreheads, nose tips to nose tips.

"I told you...I'll buy you a birthday present you won't forget, husband."

Wow, this husband is getting more and more skilled at calling out.

There was one session in Chinese and one in English!
"So... cough cough!" Han Yi struggled to resist the urge to kiss her, raised the coffee and took a big gulp, but choked himself and made him cough repeatedly.

"Be careful, baby." Yuzhen wiped the corner of his mouth and gently stroked his back, completely entering the state of a newlywed wife. She cast her eyes on Austin, who didn't know how to react, and smiled apologetically, "Sorry... My husband meant that I want to buy this car with my own money, not my family's money, so I really need a good financial plan to help me share the monthly expenses."

"Yes, we do offer some excellent financing plans. For example, we now have a very good '42-month closed lease plan' for the model you selected. The down payment is $29999, and the monthly payment plus taxes is only $3499, 5000 miles per year. At the end of the 42 months, you can pay the balance according to the agreed residual value and then buy it."

"That sounds great." Zhao Youzhen responded with a smile, "The down payment and monthly loan repayments are within my budget... The mileage is also acceptable. We don't usually drive long distances with this car, right, baby?"

"Uh-huh, uh-huh." Han Yi, who was still clearing his throat, could only answer by nodding.

"It usually takes ten minutes to get to the office. There's a supermarket and a shopping mall across from the office... In daily life, the farthest places we can go are probably Santa Monica and... Um, honey, we haven't been to Disneyland for a long time. Next time, let's drive this car there?"

"You have the final say." Han Yi readily followed suit.

"It sounds like you live very close to our store." Austin Day never missed any opportunity to build closer relationships and increase the probability of a deal. "It will be very convenient for you to come for maintenance services in the future."

"It's very close... It's okay." Zhao Youzhen thought for a moment, "It took us about twenty minutes to get here."

"Twenty minutes..." Austin roughly estimated, "Beverly Hills?"

"Yes, Beverly Hills, a little to the west." Although Yuzhen would not lie about such things, he would not reveal the exact location.

“Great community.”

But it's not hard to figure out the neighborhood they're in, and the average home price in that neighborhood, in Austin.

Driving a million dollar luxury car, living in a ten million dollar mansion, and then…here I’m discussing a thirty thousand dollar down payment.

I should be an important part of your house-playing game of "the family only gave a trust fund of 100 million US dollars, so the couple must learn to be independent and strong", right?

"Okay, Ms. Han, Mr. Han, since you are already familiar with O'Gara's car dealership and its history, then before the two managers arrive... shall we move to the other side of the courtyard? Take a look at the new car you have selected, and then I will give you a detailed introduction to Aston Martin and this exciting model."

"Babe." Yuzhen looked at Han Yi again with a gentle expression, "Shall we?"

"We shall." Han Yi put down the tissue, "Lead the way, Captain."

"Of course, please follow me."

Grabbing his iPad, Austin stood up and led them to the outdoor display area for new cars on the right side of the store.

“This is one of the most exciting new products from Aston Martin this year, and indeed this decade. Oh, I can’t wait to show you the real thing.”

"I promise, once you see it, you'll fall in love with it within a millisecond."

"It is our new generation flagship model, and the first batch was just delivered to Los Angeles earlier this month."

“It is DB11.”
