Chapter 978: Chapter 983: Playing Dumb to Catch the Tiger

"Such a good car? Why would you modify it? Isn’t the car good enough for you?"

Walter was very surprised at Yang Yi’s decision. He didn’t know how Yang Yi wanted to modify it, but Yang Yi just smiled and said, "You’ll understand soon."

They arrived at the modification garage. Yang Yi parked the car at the entrance and got out, then a burly man with a full beard came forward to greet him.

"Hello, buddy."

"Hello, my darling is here, I hope you can perfectly modify it according to my request."

American and European car modification styles are quite different, and it’s rare to see an Audi RS6 in the United States, so finding a professional Audi modification factory is unlikely. However, fortunately, modifying according to Yang Yi’s requirements should not be difficult.

Yang Yi excitedly asked, "Have my modification parts arrived?"

"They have arrived, all original factory parts."

"Great, how long will it take?"

"One week, at least one week."

Yang Yi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then let’s start quickly."

Walter couldn’t help but ask, "Wait, how are you planning to modify it?"

Yang Yi stretched out his hand towards his newly acquired car, brimming with pride, "Simple, first remove all the exterior badges of the RS6 and replace them with those of a base-model Audi A6 Avant 1.8T—a typical station wagon that has no resemblance to the RS6."

Walter frowned, "But the exhaust system is completely different! And the tires, the intake grill, many things are different."

Yang Yi proudly said, "In the United States, how many people know the difference between the RS6 and the A6 Avant? But you’ve raised a good point. Yes, the exhaust and tires are different. So what to do? Of course, modify them! Hide the exhaust a bit and make it look like the A6 Avant, change the wheels to those of an A6, but use the same tires as the RS6. How many people could tell?"

Walter said with a wry smile, "Modifying the exhaust look is a big project; it’s a brand new car! A brand new car that you’ve just driven not even ten miles!"

Yang Yi smiled, "Yes, but I don’t mind. Plus, I’m going to buy two more and perform major modifications, maximizing the performance of the 4.0T bi-turbo engine. By the way, I’ve already bought them, one from the German ABT, one from MTM. I’m not sure which factory does it better, so I ordered one from each. It’s just a pity, it will take half a year to get the cars, it’s so slow to ship from Europe."

Yang Yi had an air of not caring about money but still being unable to get immediately what he wanted which left him slightly regretful, while Walter’s mouth twitched twice before he pulled Yang Yi aside and whispered, "I know why you’re showing off your wealth, but do you really have to show off at every opportunity unabashed?"

Yang Yi laughed, "Really? I don’t see it as showing off wealth. If I said I’d bought ABT or MTM, maybe then it’d be showing off? Just two cars, among our level of wealthy people, please, this is hardly worth mentioning, right? Ah, that makes sense!"

Yang Yi seemed to have an epiphany, excitedly took out his phone, "Right, why not buy a modification factory I like!"

Walter grabbed Yang Yi’s shoulder and then urgently said, "Enough! Enough, really enough, leave your car here for modification, now let’s go to your mansion, then I’ll drive back home in my own car, whatever you want to do after that is up to you, but this ends now!"

Yang Yi shrugged, "I really will buy it, really, I’ll arrange for someone to acquire it shortly, just a few billion US dollars will buy a pretty nice modification factory without counting other income, the profits from arms dealing for one year are enough."

Walter urgently said, "Stop talking, buddy, don’t say anymore!"

Yang Yi looked regretful, "Alright, I won’t provoke you anymore, actually showing off wealth to you has no point, but I got too carried away, can’t change that, uh, it’s a pleasure of the rich you wouldn’t understand, you don’t know, once you’re immersed in this feeling it’s hard to pull back, especially when you actually have that much money."

Honestly, the person Yang Yi most wanted to ’drag down’ was Walter, though he didn’t have to drag Walter down, but there’s no conflict, right?

Thus, Yang Yi took every opportunity to flaunt his wealth in front of Walter, just to show him how happy rich people are, until Walter completely gave in.

Unfortunately, Walter just wouldn’t lower his guard, if really unable to drag Walter down, then Yang Yi would have to find another significant target, how troublesome.

"Enough, enough, let’s go."

Watching a billionaire show off various stunts in front of him, Walter felt he really couldn’t keep up, the trouble being that if he just nodded, he really might pull in at least tens of millions each year, so the temptation was too great.

Yang Yi waved to the garage owner and said, "We’re leaving, take good care of my darling, goodbye."

Going back they had to take a taxi, Walter sat in the back not knowing what he was thinking, he didn’t say a word to Yang Yi the whole way, waiting until they arrived at Yang Yi’s recently moved into mansion, before Walter could suggest departing, Yang Yi smiled again, "Now, there are three supercars in front of us, Aston Martin and Ferrari, pick one, we’ll go for a drive, you must have learned special driving, I have faith in your driving skills, so why not race? Loser pays, how about it?"

Walter said expressionlessly, "No, I won’t go. I won’t drive a car that isn’t mine just for a joyride."

"Then pick one to take home, except for the Koenigsegg."

"No, that’s too high-profile, I’m leaving, goodbye."

Walter walked towards his car, pulled open the door, then told Yang Yi, "Training camp the day after tomorrow, don’t go to work tomorrow, I don’t want to see you driving a supercar to work."

Yang Yi spread his hands, "I already told you my plan, why can’t I drive a supercar? How else can I show off wealth and attract attention?"

Walter said emotionlessly, "You have to wait for Porter to approve your plan before you can do that, so until you’re notified, you’re forbidden from being too high-profile at the workplace, that’s it."

After saying this, Walter fled into his car, driving off quickly in the Lexus Yang Yi gave him.

Yang Yi smiled and then he looked back at his sports car, talking to himself, "The garage isn’t enough, need to install security systems, need to hire a good butler, needs servants to clean, need a chef to cook, need security... oh man, showing off wealth is such a hassle."
