Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 661: Car Saleswoman


The fiery red Porsche was cruising slowly along Jianan Street in Jinling District, not speeding at all. In fact, it was rather leisurely.

Xia Mingyue had asked him to get the Porsche serviced, but she hadn't specified where to go for the maintenance. However, Ye Xiao was clever enough to find the service manual inside the car, which indicated that the place for servicing was a place called Hongxing Automobile City.

The traffic control in Bird City was much stricter than in Minghai City, with all sorts of cameras taking pictures. Although Ye Xiao would have liked to run the red lights and then let Xia Mingyue pay the fines, upon second thought, he decided against it. After all, Xia Mingyue was not someone who couldn't afford the fines. In case she harbored ill will against him for such a small fine, Ye Xiao thought it best to be cautious.

Jinling District was considered a mid-range area in Bird City. Although there were also many high-rises here, there wasn't anything too special compared to Minghai City. Ye Xiao was not interested in making such comparisons.

Soon enough, Ye Xiao arrived at Hongxing Automobile City and found the Ferrari dealership. This automobile city was not particularly high-end, and not all the cars there were luxury vehicles; there were plenty of economical national brands, including Tiake, Jiancheng, and Changan.

"Hello, Miss Xia... huh?" As Ye Xiao parked, a young, chubby staff member from the dealership came over. It seemed he recognized the car, so as he approached he immediately greeted the person inside. However, he seemed to expect Xia Mingyue and was surprised to see, when the window rolled down, that it was a man instead of her.

Ye Xiao was dressed very plainly, so ordinary it could not be more common. According to this staff member, Ye Xiao definitely should not have been sitting in such a high-end car.

"You are...?" The man looked at Ye Xiao, puzzled.

Ye Xiao glanced at the man's name tag; it read Liu Erkui!

What a unique name.

Ye Xiao was quite familiar with making himself at home and smiled at Liu Erkui, "Er Kui, Miss Xia asked me to come and have her car serviced. I'm her personal driver."

"Mr. Xia's personal driver?" Liu Erkui was visibly surprised as he stared at Ye Xiao.

Although Liu Erkui also came from a rural area, he had been working at Hongxing Automobile City for a long time. Now at this dealership, he was no ordinary person; his clients were mostly very high-end, like Mr. Xia. Although he had only seen Xia Mingyue a few times, she was always a high-class, elegant woman. How could she have a personal driver who looked like a bumpkin?

Liu Erkui eyed Ye Xiao with evident skepticism, but nevertheless, he said, "Will you drive it in, or shall I? Mr. Xia is very particular about cleanliness."

Ye Xiao laughed and replied, "You should do it, it's your job. Er Kui, where are you from? By your accent, you seem to come from a village near Minghai City, right? I'm from that area myself."

Ye Xiao was just idling and teasing Liu Erkui.

But little did he know, Liu Erkui detested people picking apart his name and his hometown the most. Recently he had been trying to change his name because he felt it did not match his current status. Now, he considered himself a city person, and moreover, a person from the capital of Chu City, Bird City.

"Hmph, mind your own business. I'm a person from Bird City; you're thinking too much!" Liu Erkui scoffed and immediately got into the Ferrari, not giving Ye Xiao the chance to say more, and quickly took the car in for servicing.

Ye Xiao did not follow. After all, it wasn't his car. What did it have to do with him if the service wasn't done well? Besides, he noticed there were some quite attractive car saleswomen inside the dealership, which seemed more in line with Ye Xiao's interests.

Entering the store, at that moment, three saleswomen were sitting to the side, chatting. To be precise, two were chatting while the other stood and listened.

Ye Xiao had a sharp eye. With just one glance over the three of them, he saw the name badges on their chests, which read 'Little Mi', 'Chenchen', and 'Shanshan'.

The three saleswomen were one more delicate-looking than the next. If they were to participate in a beauty contest, Ye Xiao thought they could certainly win some awards, particularly Shanshan, who gave off a particularly refined and elegant impression.

"Little Mi, a customer has come," Chenchen said with a smile, whispering to Little Mi.

Little Mi glanced at Ye Xiao, who was currently approaching a new car model, and muttered, "A country bumpkin wanting to look at cars here? I'm not going. There's no chance of making a sale. Chenchen, you go. Your performance this month hasn't been great. I'm giving you a chance to earn some money."

Upon hearing this, Chenchen's face fell, and she retorted, "You think I'm stupid? You can tell he's a bumpkin, and couldn't I tell too? I'm not going. If he really wants to buy a car, let him call someone over himself. Besides, the manager isn't here right now, and Liu Erkui isn't either."

"Speaking of Liu Erkui, did you know? This guy supposedly has plenty of big clients. We'll have to be nice to him from now on," Little Mi said as she cracked sunflower seeds and spoke.

Chenchen responded disdainfully, "I heard Liu Erkui is just a farmer from a town in Minghai City. We're genuine Bird City people."

Chenchen's face revealed the inherited arrogance of the people from Bird City.

The two of them chatted about this and that, but the girl named Shanshan walked towards Ye Xiao.

"This little girl is really impatient, but she has no clue about reading the room. She greets everyone!" Little Mi said mockingly as she saw Shanshan head towards Ye Xiao.

Chenchen said, "I heard that Shanshan's family has an alcoholic father, and she's here because she needs to support her family. Otherwise, at just twenty years old, she should still be able to go to school. She's really a pitiful girl."

"Pitiful? There's always something detestable about someone pitiable. If it weren't for her, we'd definitely be having an easier time!" Little Mi glared at Shanshan, who was walking away, clearly upset.

Shanshan was genuinely pretty. Ever since she arrived, those boys who used to follow Little Mi had all turned their attention to Shanshan. This made Little Mi, who was used to being the center of attention, extremely frustrated. She believed that Shanshan had stolen her spotlight.

At that moment, Ye Xiao was looking at the latest Ferrari M458-T in front of him. It was Ferrari's newest sports car, and in Ye Xiao's opinion, it was very impressive.

"Good afternoon, sir. The M458-T is our newest model, equipped with a newly developed twin-turbo V8 engine, capable of reaching a peak output of 679 ps. It accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds and has a top speed of 315 km/h. Not only does it perform brilliantly, but the turbocharging technology also reduces fuel consumption to 13.3 liters per 100 kilometers and CO2 emissions to 307 grams per kilometer," Shanshan patiently explained to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao had also seen this car online, and what Shanshan was telling him matched up with what he knew. Clearly, this saleswoman wasn't deceiving him.

Ye Xiao opened the door and sat inside, looking around.

The saleswoman named Shanshan took her seat in the passenger side, obviously to explain the car's features to Ye Xiao more effectively.

But as soon as Shanshan sat down, Ye Xiao, while touching the steering wheel and gear stick, smiled and said, "Those two saleswomen already told you, I'm just a country bumpkin. Why did you still come over?"

Shanshan originally wanted to continue her introduction to Ye Xiao, but she was taken aback by his comment. However, she quickly responded, "It's my duty to provide every customer with a detailed introduction to the cars, regardless of whether you intend to buy. I must share what I know."

Ye Xiao chuckled, not looking at Shanshan, but continuing to touch the steering wheel, "Very professional. You must be new here, right?"

Shanshan was even more surprised to hear Ye Xiao's observation and looked at him, astonished, "How... how did you know?"

Hearing her reaction, Ye Xiao replied, "Because it's obvious you're a novice, without any guile. Isn't that a bit naive?"

Ye Xiao's straightforward words made Shanshan's face turn slightly red, but she was a very stubborn girl. Hearing what he said, she felt he was looking down on her.

"So what if I'm a novice? Now that I'm working here, I have to do my job well. I need to earn my salary with honor," Shanshan retorted stubbornly.

Ye Xiao smiled faintly, wanting to continue teasing the girl named Shanshan, but then saw three young men in their early twenties enter through the door, all dressed fashionably and exuding an air of arrogance.

Perhaps Shanshan had grown to dislike Ye Xiao, so she immediately tried to get out of the car, after all, there were three other customers.

But Ye Xiao deliberately said, "Wait!"

Shanshan looked at Ye Xiao and replied, "I've already introduced everything to you."

Shanshan was clearly annoyed with Ye Xiao. The thing she hated most was being looked down upon.

Ye Xiao immediately replied with a smile, "Don't be angry. These guys bear no good will; you won't benefit from getting out now."

"It's none of your business!" Shanshan, who was now irritated with Ye Xiao, naturally didn't want to listen to him. After all, she had no relationship with Ye Xiao. Why should she listen to him?

"Okay, I can't control you, but I do want to know about the features of the sound system. As a saleswoman, you should introduce them to me, right? You did say, irrespective of whether I buy, you would tell me," Ye Xiao said with a smile, clearly being somewhat deliberate.

Shanshan felt helpless, but she had indeed said those words. When she began working here, she had already warned herself. Since she was working here, she had to do her job well. She had to make others see her as hardworking and diligent. She absolutely needed to be a hardworking and diligent person, not allowing others to look down on her.
