Chapter 55: The Current Head of Dragon City’s Xu Family
“Star of Zhonghai, Villa No. 88, I’ll remember that,” Li Yuehua’s heart jittered slightly upon hearing the address Xu Fan gave. The place where Xu Fan lived was known as a famous luxury villa in Zhonghai. It seems Xu Fan really wasn’t an ordinary person. His young age and residence in the Star of Zhonghai indicated he must have an exceptionally strong background.
“By the way, I’ll pay for the car with my card,” Xu Fan said as he took out the Supreme Black Diamond Card he always carried with him.
“Please don’t, this is a gift from our Lu Family Port Car Dealership. There was some unpleasantness when Mr. Xu was buying the car today, so consider this vehicle as an apology,” Li Yuehua generously stated.
“Mr. Li, I, Xu Fan, am not someone who takes things without paying. You can offer me a discount, but I’m not going to accept it for free. As for the unpleasantness earlier, it’s in the past, let’s not bring it up again,” Xu Fan said calmly, his tone carrying an undeniable firmness.
“Alright, since Mr. Xu has spoken, I won’t insist,” Li Yuehua nodded, summoned the finance staff, and took Xu Fan’s Black Diamond Card from him.
Upon receiving the card, Li Yuehua internally exclaimed again, for in Xu Fan’s hand was the globally most powerful Supreme Black Diamond Card—a symbol of status. It seemed Xu Fan was truly someone who didn’t care about money.
It was fortunate that he personally came to offer warm greetings. Otherwise, had such an important client held even slight dissatisfaction with Lu Family Port Car Dealership, it would take mere minutes to deal with him.
After the card transaction, Xu Fan bid farewell to Li Yuehua, and was just about to pick up Tongtong and get into the car when Chen Lele, who had been waiting, quickly approached Xu Fan.
“Mr. Xu, the manager asked me to add you on WeChat, to provide after-sales service and guidance for your car. If you have any issues with the vehicle, you can also contact me directly,” Chen Lele said, slightly nervously to Xu Fan.
“Sure,” Xu Fan took out his phone and showed his WeChat QR code to Chen Lele, who scanned it and added Xu Fan as a friend.
“Take care, Mr. Xu, and goodbye to the little friend,” Chen Lele cheerfully waved to Xu Fan and Tongtong.
“Bye-bye, sister,” Tongtong cute waved her little hand at Chen Lele.
The branch manager and other managers nearby came over to greet Xu Fan and say their goodbyes.
Xu Fan waved his hand, opened the car door, carried Tongtong inside, then buckled her into her child safety seat properly, started the car, and drove away from the Lu Family Port Car Dealership.
Li Yuehua, watching Xu Fan’s car disappear into the distance, finally let out a sigh of relief. He instructed his secretary to quickly prepare Xu Fan’s other Lynk & Co car, then turned to Chen Lele, who had just bid Xu Fan farewell.
“Chen Lele, I appoint you as the Deputy Manager of this Audi 4S store and also as the Executive Assistant at the Lu Family Port Car Dealership headquarters. If Mr. Xu has any issues in the future, you can report directly to me,” Li Yuehua said to Chen Lele with a smile.
“Thank you, Mr. Li… but I’m currently just a senior intern, here only part-time…” Chen Lele nervously responded.
“That’s no issue. Intern with us, and upon graduation, you’ll rise directly to middle management. Our Lu Family Port Car Dealership needs talent like you.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Lele nodded fervently, her mind reeling with shock.
She had just been promoted to the fourth rank among deputy managers at the Audi 4S store by the manager, and now she had suddenly been leapfrogged two levels higher by the head of the headquarters to become the second-in-command, additionally holding an assistant managerial role. Chen Lele felt like she was dreaming, as everything seemed so surreal.
Good fortune came too easily, didn’t it?
It must be because of Xu Fan!
She had only attended to Xu Fan, and now she had received unimaginable preferential treatment that she couldn’t have dreamed of. It seems her luck was all thanks to the courteous reception she offered Xu Fan at the entrance of the car city.
Meanwhile, Manager Xiong was in utter despair.
He had been working at the Audi 4S store for five to six years, only managing to reach the position of a sales manager. In the end, he was just a sales rep; “manager” was merely a suffix, and he wasn’t even part of the store’s management team.
And now, for offending Xu Fan, he had nearly been shown the door from the 4S store. The video of him rolling on the ground had been uploaded online, bringing shame upon himself across the north and south of the country. Xiong Liming truly felt a desire to end it all.
On one hand, there was Chen Lele, a part-time college intern who’d been there for three days, and had rocketed up four levels, now favored by the general manager. On the other, his own five to six years of effort had gone to waste just because of a quarrel with Xu Fan, relegating him to this pathetic state.
He was filled with such regret.
If there were such a thing as a pill for regret, Xiong Liming would even trade ten years of his life to take one, just to cling to Xu Fan’s “golden thigh” the moment he set foot into the Lu Family Port’s Auto City.
But alas, it was all too late.
Xiong Liming stood up, dejected, not expecting Li Yuehua to come over and gently pat his shoulder.
“Old Xiong, you’re a long-time employee. I hope you can learn from this lesson, correct your attitude, and offer proper service. We at Lu Family Port Auto City still need experienced staff like you. As long you can acknowledge your mistakes and change, there will be opportunities for you in the future,” Manager Li Yuehua said. Then, with an encouraging look, he turned and left the room.
“Yes, I will definitely try hard to correct them!” Xiong Liming called out loudly to Li Yuehua.
“Deputy Manager Chen, I’m sorry.” Xiong Liming turned around and apologized to Chen Lele first.
Just one hour before, he had been looking down at Chen Lele with arrogance. Now, Chen Lele was someone he had to look up to.
“Hmm. It’s okay, no problem.” Chen Lele was a bit embarrassed and had not fully adapted to the change in status.Y0u can read sh0rt, t0uching, and r0mantic st0ries ab0ut c0uples, as well as children’s st0ries f0r free 0n sitest0rys(.)c0m
“All right, all right, get back to work,” the supervisor waved his hand, dismissing the onlookers who had gathered around.
As the crowd dispersed, they couldn’t help but cast envious glances at Chen Lele.
If only I could have been the one to attend to that Mr. Xu.
In Yan Country, Dragon City, the Xu Family.
The Xu Family’s Deputy Chief Steward, Xu Wentao, was holding an electronic bill as he walked into the current Family Head’s office.
“Young Master, the Supreme Black Diamond Card we left with Xu Fan showed two unusual expenditures today— one million cash withdrawal and two hundred thousand spent on a transaction, both in Zhonghai City.”
“What? That good-for-nothing dares to use our Xu Family’s card for his expenses!” In front of the luxurious office desk, a slender young man stood up, his handsome face contorted with a menacing expression.
“The card was issued in his name, and canceling it requires his signature. Since we haven’t found him, we haven’t been able to cancel the card,” Xu Wentao said nervously to the handsome young man in front of him.
“Dammit, I drove him out of the Xu Family, and he still has the nerve to spend our money. Go investigate where he’s living now, I’ll have some time in a couple of days to go have a nice chat with him.” The expression on the young man’s face revealed his malice.
“Young Master, he should currently be in Zhonghai. As for the exact location, I’ll look into it right now,” Xu Wentao said.
“Zhonghai? Even better. I’m planning a trip to Zhonghai in three days. At that time, we’ll pay a visit to this ‘esteemed young master’ of the Xu Family and give him a little education on how my hard-earned money isn’t so easy to spend!”
“Understood, Young Master. Is it okay if I bring four special bodyguards?”
“He’s just a nobody, we’re just going to pay him a visit. Why do you need so many bodyguards?”
“Understood, then shall we bring two?” Xu Wentao asked with some uncertainty.
“Haha, one Martial Artist will suffice.”
“Hiss—” Xu Wentao drew in a cold breath.
