How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

Chapter 28: Speeding

20 minutes later.

After taking a drive around, Gu Heng expertly maneuvered the brand-new Bentley Continental GT back to the 4S dealership.

Sales consultant Liu Wen was sitting in the cramped space of the back seat, watching Gu Heng’s satisfied smile flicker across his face from time to time, and in her heart, she gave this deal an 80% chance of success...

"Who would’ve thought, Gu Heng! Your driving skills are pretty good, aren’t they? Is this really your first time driving since getting your license? You’re way better than Jingjing. Every time I ride in her car, I’m terrified, but you’re much steadier.

And, no offense, but a luxury car is a luxury car—sitting in one is just more comfortable than in ordinary cars.

Before, I thought the Volvo S90 Jingjing bought was already a luxury car, but compared to this one, it’s worlds apart. Let me just put it out there, Gu Heng, if you really buy this car, you’ve got to save the front passenger seat for me!"

Without even getting out of the car, Lin Jiayun was chattering away excitedly from the passenger seat.

Hearing Lin Jiayun’s words, Gu Heng just smiled and didn’t respond.

A driving skill worth of a hobbyist racer with a value of 1 million, joking with you?

As for her early claim on the front passenger seat, Gu Heng simply ignored it as if it were nonsense.

If he kept the front passenger seat for her, what about other girls?

Dream on!

Gradually stepping out from the driver’s seat, Gu Heng had almost reserved the Bentley Continental GT in his mind.

"Miss Liu?"

"I’m here!"

Hearing Gu Heng calling for her, Liu Wen squeezed out from the back seat with difficulty...

Indeed, squeezed...

Seeing Liu Wen’s features distorted uncomfortably from the squeeze, Gu Heng couldn’t help frowning...

After squeezing her way out of the car and trying to regain her composure with a smile, Liu Wen was about to ask Gu Heng how he liked the driving experience, but the moment she looked up, she was met with Gu Heng’s frowning face, causing her heart to shudder subconsciously...

That expression...

Was he dissatisfied?

Her brain spinning rapidly, Liu Wen carefully considered what might have caused Gu Heng’s dissatisfaction...

A potential multi-million dollar deal was at her fingertips; if it slipped away, she wouldn’t even know where to cry...

Suddenly...

She thought of her disheveled state after squeezing out from the car and quickly guessed the reason for Gu Heng’s frown, promptly saying, "Mr. Gu, are you dissatisfied with the back-seat space of the Continental GT?"

Gu Heng honestly nodded.

"That’s correct, as I’ve mentioned before, the Continental GT is positioned as a sports car, and the back seat is more decorative than practical...

That’s probably the only imperfection of the Continental GT, but in all other aspects, it’s truly the benchmark of its price range..."

Liu Wen, fulfilling her role as a sales consultant, minimized the weakness and guided Gu Heng to appreciate the car’s strengths...

Even Lin Jiayun couldn’t help but join in, saying, "Exactly, you spend 3 million on a car to enjoy it, not to use it as a taxi. Why care about the back seat space?"

But after hearing the opinions of the two, Gu Heng showed no reaction, his facial expression barely changing as he said in an indifferent tone, "Isn’t there another model? Take me to see that one."

Listening to Gu Heng’s unswayed tone, Liu Wen was also filled with helplessness but could only muster up her enthusiasm.

"Alright, Mr. Gu, this way please..."

As she spoke, she led Gu Heng to another display area...

"Mr. Gu, this is the other model I wanted to introduce to you, priced at three million, the Bentley Flying Spur. This is also the latest 2024 model, and it has been in the showroom for less than a week. It’s definitely among the newest batches in the country!"

While speaking, she directed Gu Heng’s gaze to another pale blue car.

"This Flying Spur features the same Imperial Blue color as the Continental GT you just saw, paired with..." (If you’re interested, you can look it up on Baidu, no fluff.)

Liu Wen then, as before, introduced the basic performance of the Bentley Flying Spur from start to finish...

This time, however, Gu Heng had a notion in his mind. There was not much change in his expression, instead, he was mentally comparing this Flying Spur with the Continental GT he had seen before...

In terms of appearance, the Bentley Flying Spur indeed seemed a level below the Continental GT...

But this level was only when compared with the Continental GT. Compared to those regular sedans, it was still in a league of its own, with no real comparison.

Thinking this, Gu Heng stepped forward, opened the car door, and experienced it once again.

On the outside of the door, sales assistant Liu Wen continued explaining: "The Flying Spur and the Continental GT both have interiors crafted with the same techniques and materials, so there isn’t much difference in that regard.

The only difference is that the rear space of the Flying Spur is exceptionally spacious—more so than other large cars from different brands, which significantly increases its comfort."

Listening to Liu Wen’s introduction, Gu Heng peeked into the rear space...

Indeed...

Compared to the laughably small rear space of the Continental GT, the Flying Spur’s rear was spacious enough to accommodate a couples’ sport without feeling cramped...

Seeing this, Gu Heng had more or less made up his mind and then stepped down from the driver’s seat.

Just as Liu Wen was about to speak, he preempted her by asking, "How much for this car?"

"???"

Hearing Gu Heng’s question, Liu Wen was filled with confusion.

He had passed over the Continental, a car more obviously suited for young people, and was now asking about the price of the Flying Spur he had not looked at for more than ten minutes?

But despite her confusion, Liu Wen didn’t forget her professionalism and quickly replied, "Mr. Gu, if you like the Flying Spur, you would need to choose some custom options, and the specific price will be calculated based on your selections..."

"How long would it take to get the car after selecting the options?"

"If expedited, roughly 2 to 3 months..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng’s face showed a clear trace of impatience, "Didn’t Jiajun mention my requirements when he was in touch with you?"

Hearing the emotion in Gu Heng’s voice, Liu Wen felt a bit aggrieved...

Jiajun, of course, had told her about Gu Heng’s requirements, but this was Bentley’s purchasing process—what could she do? She could only apologize with a wry smile and explain it was the buying process...

Gu Heng couldn’t be bothered to listen to her apologies. Pointing at the pale blue Bentley Flying Spur in front of him, he asked again, "Never mind the process, how much for this car, and can it even be sold?"

"Mr. Gu, to be honest with you, this is a display car; I can’t make that decision. How about you take a brief rest while I go ask the manager?"

Liu Wen asked cautiously...

Gu Heng didn’t want to make things difficult for her and thus nodded his head; he was just trying to save some trouble and buy a car to show off, not intentionally looking for trouble.

Once she received Gu Heng’s agreement, Liu Wen didn’t delay a moment and ran towards the manager’s office area...
