Chapter Sixteen: I Hate You Pretentious People the Most

Xu Yi’s action caused everyone present to tense up for a moment.

However, Zhang Yating and the tall man were anxious and uneasy, while Zeng Lili was excited.

She quickly took Xu Yi’s bank card and carefully asked, “Sir, will you be paying in full or applying for a loan?”

Xu Yi replied calmly, “Of course in full! There are five million yuan on this card. As long as your limit allows, the entire amount can be charged today.”

Zeng Lili’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she said, “Please wait a moment. I need to verify something, is that okay?”

“No problem.”

Zeng Lili hurriedly rushed to the 4S store’s back office.

Liu Mei, wearing a skeptical expression, said, “Xu Yi! At a time like this, I didn’t expect you to still be pretending! We both know how you were in university — notoriously poor. Five million yuan? Why don’t you say you have a billion while you’re at it?”

Zhang Yating sneered coldly, “Xu Yi! You’ve really disappointed me. You’re still putting on this fake act for the sake of your pathetic pride.”

“I actually dated someone like you for four years? Haha! Leaving you was the best decision I ever made!”

Xu Yi was speechless. “You think I’m pretending?”

“Isn’t it obvious? When we were together, you never bought me a gift over ten thousand yuan. And now, five million? You’re a joke.”

Zhang Yating’s eyes were full of contempt.

Xu Yi thought these three people were shameless beyond redemption.

“I hate people like you who always think they’re right. Today, I really want to see what kind of faces you’ll put on later.”

As Xu Yi spoke, Zeng Lili hurried back from the back office, accompanied by two people: an older woman wearing glasses and another who looked like a manager.

Zeng Lili smiled at Xu Yi, “Mr. Xu, we have verified everything. You can proceed with the card payment. This car costs 2.2 million yuan in total. Would you like to pay now?”

Xu Yi replied calmly, “Yes.”

The older woman quickly took out the card reader and handed it to Xu Yi. He calmly entered the password.

Soon, a receipt for 2.2 million yuan printed out from the machine.

The manager stepped forward with a smile. “Mr. Xu, let me introduce myself. I’m the manager of this 4S store, my surname is Zong. We sincerely thank you for spending two million yuan in our store. Here is our VIP card. In the future, if your vehicle encounters any problems, you can use this card to receive service at any of our stores nationwide.”

“Also, as a VIP customer, you can choose a dedicated personal service representative here. She will be able to answer all your questions.”

Saying this, Manager Zong pulled out a tablet, revealing a lineup of attractive women dressed in enticing professional attire.

Every man would understand what this implied—it was essentially a benefit reserved for wealthy customers.

Xu Yi pointed to Zeng Lili standing beside him. “Can she be my personal service representative?”

“Me?” Zeng Lili was clearly taken aback.

Xu Yi replied calmly, “Yes. I was very satisfied with your service just now. Rather than assigning someone I don’t know, I think you are perfect.”

Manager Zong quickly said, “No problem. Mr. Xu, as long as you’re satisfied, Lili will be your dedicated personal service representative from now on.”

Zeng Lili hesitated, about to say something, but Manager Zong pulled her aside into the back office, away from others.

In a serious tone, Manager Zong said, “Lili, you’ve been here for several months. I know you have your principles, but since you’ve chosen this path, you will face moments like this sooner or later. Besides, it’s not like you’re being asked to do anything disgraceful. At most, they might touch you a little. You’re still a promising prospect—young and handsome. You won’t lose out.”

Seeing that Zeng Lili was still hesitant, Manager Zong bit her lip and said, “If you take this position as a personal service representative, your monthly salary will increase by 2,000 yuan.”

Only then did Zeng Lili nod in agreement.

Meanwhile, seeing Xu Yi actually take out two million yuan, Liu Mei and Zhang Yating were stunned.

Liu Mei suspiciously looked at Zhang Yating. “Yating, what’s going on? Could Xu Yi have some bank savings we didn’t know about? Or did he win the lottery recently?”

Zhang Yating’s expression darkened considerably. Xu Yi’s genuine ability to produce two million yuan made all her previous words seem like a joke, a slap right across her face.

She felt deeply humiliated and even more frustrated. If she had known Xu Yi had so much money, why did she bother accusing him of cheating and ruining her reputation?

Zhang Yating snapped, “You’re asking me? How would I know? When I was with him, he was a poor nobody.”

The tall man’s face also soured. He stared at Xu Yi seriously for a moment, then laughed heartily. “Brother, it’s all a joke. I apologize on behalf of everyone. How about this — since we’ve met, let me introduce myself. I’m Zhang Feng. Why don’t I treat you to a drink later? Let’s forget about what happened.”

Xu Yi replied coolly, “You’re not my brother, and I’m not drinking with you.”

“You just said you want to ‘eat up’ this car, right? Come on! The car is right here. If you can ‘eat it up,’ the car’s yours. If you can’t, apologize and get lost!”

Zhang Feng’s expression darkened instantly. “Dude, you’re going too far.”

“Too far?” Xu Yi sneered. “If I couldn’t pay today, wouldn’t you make me kneel? I’m a person who lives by an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Are you going to eat it or not?”

Zhang Feng snarled, “Damn it! Kid, don’t take me for a fool. Do you know who my uncle is?”

Xu Yi replied slowly, “What? Your uncle will come and help you ‘eat’ this car? Cut the crap. No one can help you today. Either you apologize or eat the car. I’ll give you thirty seconds to choose. If you don’t choose, I’ll choose for you.”

Zhang Feng, burning with rage, shouted, “No one has ever dared to say that in front of me. Who the hell do you think you are? You’re asking for death!”

With that, Zhang Feng clenched his fist and swung directly at Xu Yi’s head.

Xu Yi activated his left eye’s “Slow” skill, effortlessly dodging the punch.

Xu Yi mocked, “Kidney weakness? Your punch is so soft. Looks like you’re not going to choose. Then I’ll do it for you. I’m fair — since you don’t want to eat the car or apologize, it seems your teeth aren’t good, and you can’t talk properly. Time to get new teeth.”

With that, Xu Yi grabbed Zhang Feng’s hair and pulled hard.

“Ah!!”

Zhang Feng’s face contorted in pain as he screamed. Xu Yi raised his hand to strike his mouth.

“Stop! Stop! Bro, I apologize, I was wrong. Don’t hit me!”

Zhang Feng was so scared he began to cry, begging for mercy.

Xu Yi snorted coldly and released him, saying sharply, “Get lost!”

Zhang Feng stumbled out of the 4S store without looking back.

Liu Mei and Zhang Yating, their faces dark, quickly followed behind.

But Liu Mei was still unwilling to give up. She turned back to threaten, “Xu Yi! You’re finished. Feng’s uncle is the second-in-command of the Donghai Gang. Don’t think that just because you’re a nouveau riche, no matter how much money you have, if you offend the Donghai Gang, you’re doomed.”

“Donghai Gang’s second-in-command, Zhang Feng... Is this guy connected to the lunatics?” Xu Yi pondered.

Not long after they left, Zeng Lili returned with documents and the keys to a Mercedes G-Class.

“Hey? Mr. Xu, where did those people go? They seemed unfriendly to you earlier. Do you want me to call the police?” Zeng Lili asked curiously.

She had been paying close attention to the conversation between Xu Yi and the others. Though she didn’t fully understand the relationships, she could tell Xu Yi was at a disadvantage facing three people.

Xu Yi replied calmly, “No need. They’re just trash. Ignore them.”

With that, Xu Yi turned to look at Zeng Lili and said, “As my dedicated personal service representative, how are your driving skills?”

“Ah?”

Zeng Lili looked at Xu Yi in confusion.
