To be honest, when Shi Yajing saw the Wan Sisters, she froze for a few seconds before recognizing them.
After all, during high school, she mainly saw them in their school uniforms, with little to no makeup or styling.
They seemed like completely different people compared to the two girls now with their exquisite makeup and fashionable outfits.
What struck Shi Yajing as most miraculous was the aura of 'noble elegance' emanating from the Wan Sisters.
'Noble elegance' seems like a rather mystical concept, largely related to the price of what a person wears, but not entirely proportional.
People often criticize certain celebrities, saying they wear high-end luxury brands on screen but somehow manage to make them look like cheap knockoffs from a street market...
There truly are differences in people's temperaments, and a person's temperament is a composite attribute nurtured by their past experiences.
It should be said that recently, the Wan Sisters have been doing quite well by Su Bai's side.
In the past, they would never have dared to stroll around a Mercedes-Benz 4S store with such ease and nonchalance.
Come to think of it, they had never actually been to this 4S store in their hometown before.
Back in their middle school days, occasionally passing by on the main road outside, they thought it was a glass building with a very high-class vibe.
Now it seems like it's just an ordinary place.
Perhaps it's because they've seen so many high-end places with Brother Su Bai.
"Yajing, what's going on? Do you know those two girls?" Lai Wenyu noticed his girlfriend's expression, which looked as if she'd seen a ghost, and couldn't help but ask.
Although, Shi Yajing usually isn't very good at hiding her feelings, getting overly excited even about celebrity gossip news.
But such exaggerated emotional fluctuations were rare even for her.
"I know them, of course I know them... They're my old classmates. Yes, the twins I told you about today."
"Ah??"
Lai Wenyu instantly understood.
Immediately, his face flushed red, filled with embarrassment and shame.
Not long ago, he had sharply commented that the boss they were attached to must be old and ugly. He never expected to be proven wrong so quickly and so thoroughly?
Su Bai's appearance, which surpassed that of male celebrities, had absolutely nothing to do with being old or ugly.
Even Lai Wenyu, who "relied on his looks," had to admit that this Su Bai guy was genuinely handsome.
To put it simply, if Lai Wenyu were playing a game, he'd be willing to use Su Bai's likeness as the main character model.
He probably couldn't even create a face that good-looking through character customization!
Who would have thought that the classmates once isolated by Shi Yajing would now be living in such splendor.
If nothing else, just a glance at the luxury haute couture they were wearing was enough to prove they were living a life more extravagant than Shi Yajing herself.
After all, a wealthy man of Su Bai's caliber was truly generous to the women around him.
Then, Lai Wenyu suddenly realized a problem and couldn't help but instinctively observe his girlfriend's expression.
Sure enough, Shi Yajing seemed to be thinking the same thing.
Embarrassment and anxiety gradually surfaced on her face, which had undergone slightly unsuccessful plastic surgery and where her makeup was slightly caking.
"What do you think they came back to our hometown for?"
"Uh... I can't guess either..."
"Could they be here for revenge?!"
Frankly, Shi Yajing felt she hadn't really bullied them during high school; it was just the classic isolation within a girls' group. But who could say for sure that the Wan Sisters didn't hold a grudge against her?
Of course, how much influence Su Bai actually had and whether he was willing to use it on their behalf was another matter, but it could potentially cause trouble for Shi Yajing.
Furthermore, it could cause trouble for her parents behind her.
The latter was actually more critical because her carefree life relied entirely on her parents' influence. If the matter involved the older generation, her father would scold her to death.
Shi Yajing's mind rapidly weighed the pros and cons and immediately made a decision: she would take the initiative to lower her stance and try to ingratiate herself with them.
There was no other way. Although she was intensely jealous of her old classmates' looks and figures, they were now people not to be trifled with.
Mainly, Su Bai was not to be trifled with.
It was said Su Bai had an incredibly powerful sworn elder sister, who was not only wealthy but also influential.
Just as she was about to go over and fawn over them, Shi Yajing paused.
She suddenly remembered that the manager had repeatedly emphasized that Su Bai and his group disliked being disturbed and just wanted to browse quietly.
Looking over, Shi Yajing could indeed see that the usually eloquent store manager was now just following them humbly, not saying much. This proved Su Bai's style was indeed quiet and low-key.
If she rashly went over to disturb them, it might backfire.
So Shi Yajing had to think of another approach.
...
Meanwhile, Su Bai's mind was utterly calm and simple.
Stopping by this Mercedes-Benz 4S store was mainly because he noticed the county had many bad roads, especially near the Wan Sisters' grandmother's residence, making it inconvenient for the super RV to drive in.
So he planned to buy a car to drive in and pick up Grandma Wan.
This plan might sound abstract, but it certainly maximized face.
Moreover, when entering Banshan County, the system issued a prompt.
[Limited-time Mission: Drive a vehicle with suitable ground clearance to pick up Grandma Wan and bring her back to Jiangcheng. Funds used to purchase the luxury car will be refunded up to ten times!]
Since it specifically mentioned "suitable ground clearance," it meant the roads were indeed bad.
It really wouldn't do to be stubborn about it.
Su Bai was adept at adapting to circumstances.
A large Mercedes-Benz off-roader would cost around one to two million. Even with the maximum refund, it wouldn't exceed thirty million.
But actually, that was still pretty good. Compared to Su Bai's 400 million in deposits, it was close to a ten percent increase.
Even a tycoon's deposits need steady and solid growth.
Su Bai was already setting his sights on one billion!
So there wasn't much to choose from. He directly went for the G-Class off-roader, selecting the highest-spec model from inventory that could be driven away the same day.
Such a swift car-buying process truly shocked the store manager.
Even though he had learned from his superiors who tipped him off that this Young Master Su had significant connections, his shock factor was still maxed out.
Even the local elite in the county would haggle when buying a car.
In fact, for traditional dealerships, buying a car inherently involves negotiation.
The wealthier the person, the more they care about various discounts and the attached miscellaneous services, all of which need to be negotiated.
Often, 4S stores also perform some mysterious, almost "ritualistic" routines.
For example, the salesperson acts very troubled by the customer's request, goes to consult the manager, the manager comes over, haggles for a while, then goes to consult the store manager, returns with a determined expression, claiming to stake their career to painfully help the customer apply for a certain amount of discount...
Anyone who has accompanied friends to look at cars a few times is basically familiar with this routine.
But it just has to be performed once, like Paul George doing an iso dribble—whether you can get past the defender is another matter, you just go through the motions first.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
