Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 743 I'm only willing to spend his money because I love him.
According to Ying Chanxi's idea, although he had previously promised Li Luo that he would buy him another new car.

The car they bought earlier was given to Lin Xiuhong to drive.

However, Ying Chanxi actually had some ulterior motives. Initially, he only planned to buy another car worth one or two hundred thousand yuan.

She still had a housekeeper's mentality, always thinking about how to save money for Li Luo and not let him spend money recklessly, even if the money was specifically for her.

This is quite different from the thinking of some other girls.

Some girls, once they find a boyfriend, may not be thinking about marriage at all; they just like to play the moral blackmail game of "you only show your love if you spend money on me."

If someone asks her, "Do you love your boyfriend? If you do, why don't you spend money on him?" she will say, "I'm only willing to spend his money because I love him."

She's said everything, good or bad.

Ying Chanxi is the complete opposite.

She subconsciously hoped to be with Li Luo, to live together, and to grow old together.

Therefore, she is always more willing to make longer-term considerations for the future of the two of them.

There is a certain aversion to certain types of consumption that lack practicality.

Upon hearing Li Luo's demand that he not even be allowed to look at cars under 50 yuan, Ying Chanxi was stunned and immediately felt a pang of regret for the money.

In this respect, it is probably because Lin Xiuhong has been taking care of Ying Chanxi since Yan Ruqing passed away.

He was influenced by Lin Xiuhong quite a bit through his surroundings.

In terms of spending money, Ying Chanxi and Lin Xiuhong are quite similar; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they're mother and daughter.

"Don't always try to save me this little bit of money." Li Luo raised his hand, ruffled Ying Chanxi's hair, and pulled her into his arms. Then he said, "We're not short of money right now; we can't even spend it all."

"Isn't the point of making money to live a better life? If you can't learn to enjoy life, what's the point of me making money?"

"Besides, 500,000 is not much. I have some money in the stock market, and in less than a year, I have made a profit of almost 2 million."

"This is just passive income, not to mention the royalties I earn now, which start at least one or two million a month."

"If the channels are a little more aggressive, sometimes there are even more."

"Think about the future profits from 'A Little Reunion,' the copyright fees from 'The Beginning,' and the future revenue from Aunt Yuan's song albums. How could you possibly spend all that money on buying a few cars?"

Li Luo said a lot, but Ying Chanxi only grasped one key piece of information, frowned and questioned, "Why are you secretly trading stocks?"

Li Luo: "..."

"Investing in stocks is very risky," Ying Chanxi said with a worried expression. "Don't get cocky just because you've made money in the short term. You still need to be careful. And with all that money you've made, have you put a lot of it into the market?"

Li Luo was sweating profusely after Ying Chanxi's words, and even regretted bringing it up.

"Don't worry, I only buy things related to national development, not speculative ones," Li Luo coughed to reassure her. "You don't need to worry about this. It's not much money in total. I put at least 80% of my income into fixed deposits and wealth management products."

"Doesn't Sister Chen Lu work at a bank? She can issue me special deposit slips with pretty high interest rates."

"Now, just in terms of savings, I probably have around 20 million."

Although Li Luo, as a reborn individual, does indeed know the stock trends of many companies.

However, he still followed the logic of normal investment and only put about 20% of his money into the stock market.

He did not lie to Ying Chanxi about this.

"Then you should be more careful." Ying Chanxi was still not completely at ease and continued to remind him, "I don't know much about this either. I only know that my dad is doing it in private, but it seems that he sometimes loses money."

"Really?" Li Luo was a little surprised, but then she thought it was normal. It was perfectly normal for an elite person like Ying Zhicheng to speculate on stocks in private.

Fortunately, Ying Chanxi did not dwell on the issue too much. After giving some simple instructions, he temporarily accepted the rules set by Li Luo.

"Five hundred thousand it is," Ying Chanxi thought to herself. "At worst, I can work harder when negotiating with the Douyin team, and I can earn that five hundred thousand back for Li Luo."

After figuring this out, Ying Chanxi stopped worrying about it and accompanied Li Luo and the others into the automotive park, where they first found a BMW 4S store.

On the way, Xu Youyu suddenly crept up to Li Luo and whispered, "You're still secretly trading stocks?"

“Yes, what’s wrong?” Li Luo nodded and said.

"Cough... It's nothing." Xu Youyu shook her head, but then hesitated for a moment before adding, "I'll tell you the details when we get back tonight. Let's look at the car first."

After saying that, Xu Youyu took the lead and walked into the store.

There are two waiters waiting here.

One of the older female waitresses glanced at Li Luo, then at the three girls beside her, raised her eyebrows slightly, and then nudged the young male salesman next to her: "You go."

Li Luo looks young, and the three girls next to him are quite pretty, but they're not wearing designer brands, so they don't look very wealthy.

The waitress had worked there for five years and was very knowledgeable. She knew exactly what kind of people were easier to sell to, so she immediately ruled out Li Luo and his group of four.

"Oh." The male salesperson nodded slightly and then came forward with a smile.

He was the junior here, so if the female salesperson refused to serve a customer, he was the one who had to entertain them.

However, he didn't mean to look down on anyone. Anyway, the girls were quite pleasing to the eye, so he treated it as an opportunity to do some eye exercises. He smiled and greeted Li Luo and the other three.
"Hello, welcome to the BMW 4S store. I am Xu Haoxuan, a sales consultant here. You can call me Xiao Xu. May I ask how everyone should address me?"

“My surname is Li.” Li Luo nodded in response, then pointed to Xu Youyu next to him, “Miss Xu, she’s here to see the BMW, you can introduce it to her.”

“Okay.” Xiao Xu nodded. “Would the others like to come along, or would you like to sit and rest at the coffee table over there? There’s free tea available here.”

"Follow us all," Li Luo said. "You lead the way."

“No problem.” Xiao Xu led them into the store, then looked at Xu Youyu and asked, “Ms. Xu, is there any model series you would like to see? Or do you have any preferences for cars? What is your budget? I can recommend a suitable model based on your needs.”

"Do you have the 7 series? I'd like to take a look at that," Xu Youyu asked.

“Of course.” Xiao Xu’s heart skipped a beat, but he still maintained a smile and said, “Please follow me.”

To be honest, when Xu Youyu mentioned the "7 Series", Xiao Xu had already lost hope for this deal, but his professional ethics still guided him to keep smiling and providing service.

After all, even the cheapest 7 Series costs around 800,000 to 900,000 yuan after taxes and fees.

These young people in front of me don't seem to be able to afford it, no matter how you look at it.

Salespeople at 4S stores are the best at judging these kinds of things, because they can tell if these people are rich kids just by looking at their clothes.

For those pampered rich kids who have been spoiled since childhood, expensive brand-name clothes are basically worn on them as if they were free, and they are already used to it. They would never be like Li Luo and his friends, who wear very ordinary clothes.

It's just that they are all so good-looking that they stand out.

But it's hard to say exactly how much money he has in his pocket. He seems to have come to the store specifically to broaden his horizons.

Fortunately, Xiao Xu had only been at the store for a short time and was still worried about receiving complaints and negative reviews from customers, so she did her best to introduce several BMW 7 Series models to Xu Youyu and let her experience them one by one.

Xu Youyu ultimately chose the 740Li, took it for a test drive, and found the experience quite good.

"Hey, I feel pretty good, what do you think?" Xu Youyu nudged Li Luo's arm after getting out of the car and whispered.

"Isn't the front of this car a bit ugly?" Li Luo couldn't help but comment. "It looks like two big nostrils are pointing at you."

“I can’t see those nostrils when I’m in the car,” Xu Youyu laughed. “The driving experience is really good, much better than my X3.”

"Then why don't you look at the price difference?" Li Luo said with a laugh. "If you're going to buy one, why not go for the most expensive one?"

“No need for that. You don’t need four-wheel drive when driving in the city.” Xu Youyu shook his head. “The premium model is enough.”

"Alright then," Li Luo nodded and said, "So you've made up your mind? Aren't you going to look at the other companies?"

"I came here specifically for the BMW," Xu Youyu chuckled. "As long as you don't mind the cost, I won't hold back."

"Who are you underestimating?" Li Luo secretly patted her butt, then turned to Xiao Xu beside him and said, "Can we see the contract for this premium model?"

"Huh?" Xiao Xu was clearly taken aback when he heard this. "A...a contract?"

“The car purchase contract,” Li Luo said with a smile, pointing to the BMW 740Li he had just test-driven. “This is the one I’ll choose.”

At this moment, Xiao Xu suddenly realized what was happening. Overjoyed, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, okay! I'll go get it right away. Please sit down on the sofa here and rest for a while. I'll be right there!"

Xiao Xu first led them to sit on the sofa, and then turned and walked towards the front desk.

At first, he just walked briskly, but after getting a little further away from Li Luo and the others, he couldn't help but start running. He sprinted to the front desk, slightly out of breath, and said to the colleague at the front desk, "Give me a contract for the BMW 740Li Premium model. I'll take it to show the client."

"Huh? It's time to sign the contract?" The female colleague at the front desk was surprised and glanced towards the sofa. "Really?"

"It's not certain yet." Xiao Xu subconsciously kept a low profile, but he still had some doubts about Li Luo and the others' plan to buy a car, and dared not make any rash judgments.

If the person is just curious and doesn't end up signing, and he makes a boast now, things could get messy later.

"Here, take this." The female receptionist handed over a contract.

Xiao Xu took the contract and quickly turned to walk towards the sofa.

At this moment, the female salesperson who had been at the door earlier also came over. Seeing Xiao Xu leave with a contract, she asked the female colleague at the front desk with some surprise, "Is he going to sign the contract?"

"It seems so."

"real or fake?"

"I don't know," the female receptionist said. "Didn't you steal any customers?"

"Well... I guess I'll just let him be since he's new." The saleswoman looked a little annoyed and asked, "What car model contract did he have?"

"A BMW 7 Series, the top-of-the-line model, a car worth over a million," the female receptionist said with a hint of envy. "If this deal goes through, his commission alone will be several thousand."

Upon hearing this, the saleswoman's expression changed drastically. She then silently moved closer to the sofa and eavesdropped on what was happening there.

Although they had made mistakes occasionally in the past, these four young people didn't seem like they had the money to buy a car.

"Mr. Li, Ms. Xu, you can take a look first." Xiao Xu handed over the contract and began to explain the terms one by one, "This is the car model, configuration, color, and the base price."

"These in the middle are some free gifts that our store can promise."

"At the very bottom, there are some options that can enhance the in-car experience. You've already tried them all, so you can consider whether you want to add them."

Li Luo glanced at it and handed the pen to Xu Youyu: "You can choose whichever you like."

"Oh." Xu Youyu didn't stand on ceremony with him, picked out a few items that she felt were acceptable, and then finished.

"Do you have any cars in stock?" Li Luo asked again.

"We only have this one for exhibition purposes. If we need a car in stock, we'll have to get one from another store," Xiao Xu quickly said.

"If we sign the contract now, how many days will it take to pick up the car?"

"One or two days will be fine!" Xiao Xu quickly assured him upon hearing the question, "Sending a car within the same city is very fast! Don't worry about that."

“Okay then.” Li Luo nodded and said, “Let’s sign it directly. We’ll get the car here in the next couple of days and then we’ll come pick it up.”

Xiao Xu was stunned for a moment, watching Li Luo sign the contract, still a little dazed.

It wasn't until he took Li Luo to the front desk to pay the deposit that he was instantly enveloped in a huge surprise, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

Not far away, the saleswoman looked grim as she watched Xiao Xu quickly sign the contract, without giving her a chance to intervene.

She was extremely upset and regretted giving away those several thousand yuan in commission.

After paying the deposit, Li Luo took their copy of the contract, stuffed it into Xu Youyu's arms, said goodbye to Xiao Xu, and prepared to leave.

"Mr. Li, are you heading back?" Xiao Xu quickly followed. "Shall I take you to the parking lot?"

“No need, we still want to go to…” Li Luo said, then looked at Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng, “Which store do you want to go to?”

"Let's go to Mercedes," Yan Zhusheng said. "My senior recommended it to me before."

"Oh, then Mercedes it is," Li Luo said to Xiao Xu. "Where's the Mercedes dealership?"

"If it's a Mercedes... please follow me!" Xiao Xu hurriedly led them towards the other door, even escorting them all the way out of the store until they reached the entrance of the Mercedes 4S store before finally stopping.

He said respectfully, "This is the Mercedes-Benz dealership, Mr. Li. If you have any further questions, please feel free to call me anytime. I wish you a pleasant car buying experience."

"Okay, thank you." Li Luo nodded gently. "You can go back now."

After saying that, he led Ying Chanxi and the other two women into the Mercedes-Benz 4S store.

One of the female sales clerks noticed this scene and recognized Xu's name tag as a BMW sales employee.

There are two car dealerships in between the Mercedes and BMW dealerships, yet this customer actually drove right to their door. This customer must be someone special…

Then, the four people walked in.

The saleswoman, with her keen eyes, noticed that Xu Youyu seemed to be holding a contract. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward, smiling obsequiously and politely saying:

"Hello everyone, I'm Xiaoli, a saleswoman at the Mercedes-Benz 4S store. May I ask your name?"
