Chapter 388: Chapter 391: Slapping the Face
Xiao Yi tore off the piece of paper he had just written on, a cold smile forming at the corner of his mouth as he said, "There’s no need for denial. This BMW of yours was made in D city, a model from three years ago. The latest quoted price in the 4S stores is 823,000RMB. Adding on all the various fees, including insurance and other charges, the total wouldn’t exceed 900,000RMB. There’s already an extra 100,000RMB included."
After speaking, he flung the piece of paper directly towards the corpulent man. The thin slip fluttered with a flick of Xiao Yi’s wrist, flying straight towards the hands of the corpulent man without any twist or pause.
The skilled can show their hand the moment they move.
The man, somewhat flustered, caught the check before he even had a chance to glance at what was on it; just hearing Xiao Yi’s words, his face couldn’t help but change. He was the owner of this car and knew better than anyone else how much he had paid for it.
Xiao Yi was almost eerily accurate!
However, he had leveraged some connections, and those miscellaneous fees almost didn’t cost a dime. Even the money for the car was given at a special discount, rounding it up to a neat 800,000RMB.
He never expected that Xiao Yi, who previously seemed to him merely a naive youngster, would turn out to be so knowledgeable!
He identified the car’s origin and model at a glance and even quoted the price directly!
The corpulent man’s several companions’ faces also changed.
They all were insiders with detailed knowledge, and they were enthusiasts too. Although they hadn’t driven today, they were certainly not unfamiliar with cars...
But how...could someone who appeared to wear an entire outfit that wouldn’t total more than 300RMB be so familiar with the market?
He...shouldn’t someone like him steer clear from luxury brands like BMW and Mercedes, not even daring to give them a second look?
Could it be...he really was a discreet person who keeps a low profile?
Was he actually capable of putting down one million? Could he really afford this car?
Almost instinctively, everyone’s gaze fell on the check in the corpulent man’s hands,
The onlookers nearby, equally as stunned, didn’t know whether what Xiao Yi said about the car was true. They were already dumbfounded just by his opening remarks.
He really came up with one million? He was actually serious about buying this car?
Especially Wang Qingqing and Li Xiaomei, whose expressions were immediately frozen. Li Xiaomei, unlike Wang Qingqing, did not consider Xiao Yi just a broke student. After all, during Wang Xiaohu’s hospitalization, Xiao Yi had managed to front over ten thousand RMB for them, a gesture not characteristic of a poor student.
But she had never thought of Xiao Yi as someone particularly wealthy either. Looking at his usual demeanor and attire, he didn’t seem like the wealthy people they had previously pictured.
But could he actually produce one million?
How could this be?
For Li Xiaomei, this was too unbelievable, too hard to accept.
Impossible, he must be playing a trick on them, right? How could he possibly produce one million?
Wang Qingqing was utterly unconvinced that Xiao Yi could actually come up with one million.
It took a while for Wang Qingqing to recover from her astounded state, shaking her head while a faint smile appeared on her lips, feeling in her heart that she had thought too much before. Xiao Yi must be playing with them. What he wrote just now must have been a notepad or anything but a check. Just then, her heart couldn’t help but become anxious again.
Xiao Yi’s excessive trick might provoke their anger later on...
After a brief shock, the corpulent man also regained his senses, his gaze trembling slightly as he glanced at Xiao Yi and then hurriedly looked at the check in his hands. His already large eyes nearly bulged out completely.
It seemed he wanted to scrutinize the check in his hand thoroughly, afraid of missing the slightest detail.
The people next to him stared at the check in his hand with the same expression.
"Really?"
Just after a brief glance, their expressions changed dramatically. Their eyes showing disbelief as they looked at each other, and reading the meaning in each other’s eyes, their gazes became even more tremulous.
If it was just one person, there might have been a mistake, but if everyone believed the check was genuine, then... there was only one possibility — the check was real...
They were all very aware of each other’s identities. Each one of them wasn’t unfamiliar with financial matters; in fact, they dealt with banks daily, handling countless amounts of money and checks. Recognizing a genuine check was almost immediate for them.
Especially a check from the Bank of Xuanwu Country, which had its unique markings, was particularly easy to identify...
To further confirm their eyesight, those few who hadn’t touched the check took it from the stunned corpulent man, called Director Li, to feel it thoroughly.
As each person took the check in hand, the rest were left anxiously hoping to see an answer they desired in the other’s eyes.
Unfortunately, each of them was disappointed.
After the check had been passed around the four of them, their hearts were filled with utter shock.
It took a while before they all looked up, their faces complex as they stared at Xiao Yi.
The young man in front of them, dressed in cheap street clothes, the naive youth they had previously disregarded, had actually come up with one million!
It was simply too incredible!It felt as though someone had brutally slapped them in the face.
And just a moment ago, they were mocking him in their minds! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
