Insufficient balance

  After getting on the car, Hong Yaqin looked at Zhang Yang in surprise and said: "I feel that you are a bit different now."

  Zhang Yang said, "Is that so?" In his heart, he thought maybe it was true. Because he had abandoned meaningless love and given up on futile fantasies, seeing the true nature of this society, where everything is fake, and only climbing to the top, having power, influence, and money is real.

  Whether it was yesterday's gamble or the two women's passionate advances last night, weren't they all because I'm no longer the loser I used to be? Otherwise, none of this would have happened, so I need to adapt to this change in identity.

  Although Bai Lao Ye and Wang Li tried to suppress yesterday's events, there was one thing they couldn't suppress - their own reputation. From the moment he appraised that imperial green glass, he was no longer an unknown figure, but a rising star in the world of jade appraisal.

  "My intuition tells me there is!" Hong Yaqin said.

  "Really? Is it because of this new set of clothes I just changed into?" Zhang Yang said with a smile.

  Hong Yaqin smiled and said: "Although I don't want to discourage you, but your taste in dressing is indeed a bit low."

  Zhang Yang felt a black line emerging from his forehead.

  "No way, I'm wearing all brand names?" Zhang Yang said discontentedly.

  To say nothing of other things, he feels that his dressing sense has improved a lot and it's like heaven and earth compared to before.

  "Haha, these clothes of yours are considered high-end for the general public, but in high society, they're a bit embarrassing. You're a millionaire, and no one has reminded you of this?" Hong Yaqin asked.

  Zhang Yang shook his head, thinking that the women around him were either mistresses or fourth concubines, and if not, they had been driven out by domestic violence. There really weren't any high-society people among them. Now it seemed that Hong Yaqin had filled this gap.

  "It's up to you then, didn't you say you'd accompany me to buy clothes?" Zhang Yang said with a smile.

  Hong Yaqin smiled and said: "So you've been waiting for me here, by the way what kind of car are you planning to buy?"

  "As soon as he mentioned the car, Zhang Yang's spirit lifted and he said: 'I'm thinking of buying a Range Rover, what do you think? You'll just say that Benz and BMW are cars for nouveau riche.'"

  Hong Yaqin smiled and said, "Who let our country have so many people buying Mercedes-Benz and BMW? As long as they have a bit of money, they all go buy Mercedes-Benz and BMW, making the whole street full of them. The Range Rover is not bad, it's quite suitable for you to drive."

  "Haha, I think so too. It's long and big, it must be very comfortable when opened."

  Hong Yaqin hesitated for a moment and asked: "Zhang Yang, who was the woman who went to gamble with you that day?"

  This question had been in her heart for a long time.

  Compared to yesterday, Zhang Yang might still have some hesitation, after all, Hong Yaqin was good to him and he didn't want to deceive this woman, but by today, he had completely gotten rid of his psychological burden.

  Wang Luyao and Pan Hui were no longer on his mind, the only role of the two women for him was to be a tool for venting desire.

  "Wang Luoyao, she's my neighbor downstairs. You also know that I don't have many friends in the capital, going to gamble alone makes me feel a bit weak, so it's just right to call her up and help myself save face. You also know, men having a beautiful woman by their side will make them feel very proud." Zhang Yang said with a smile.

  Hong Yaqin hummed and said: "So that's how it is. Actually, your female housekeeper wasn't bad either, why didn't you bring her along?"

  Zhang Yang's eyebrows twitched slightly. That brainless woman, what is she doing? Isn't the trouble she's causing enough? Bringing her up now is completely nauseating!

  "What's wrong with him? Pan Hui's brain is a bit off track." Zhang Yang decided to lay an ambush first, so that Pan Hui wouldn't say anything stupid to Hong Yaqin later.

  Hong Yaqin looked at Zhang Yang in confusion.

  "Yaqin, you're not an outsider either, so I'll just tell you directly. Pan Hui ran away from her husband's abuse, so she's very cautious around people. You also know that I'm a kind-hearted person, and after learning about her situation, I showed more concern for her. Who knew she'd misunderstand me and have some... thoughts about me? But I'm not that kind of person, so now I try to spend less time with her."

  Hong Yaqin exclaimed: "Heavens, how could this be?"

  "You wouldn't have thought, would you? I didn't know at first either. By the time I found out, it was too late. She had nowhere to go, and I couldn't just kick her out, so I reluctantly took her in. Ah, she's also a pitiful person, I don't want to be too harsh on her. Just keep a little distance from her. In case she does something that makes you misunderstand or says something that leads to misunderstanding, don't hold it against her." Zhang Yang said.

  Hong Yaqin nodded and said: "I know, it's good for you to speak your mind."

  Zhang Yang smiled awkwardly and said: "You're not going to give me a good person card, are you?"

  "What's a good person card?" Hong Yaqin asked in puzzlement.

  "That's what you're saying, that I'm a good person and I'm not suitable for you, and you'll find true love and all that. Isn't that what women always say when they reject a man?" Zhang Yang said.

  Hong Yaqin's face turned red and she said: "You didn't even pursue me."

  "I thought we were already boyfriend and girlfriend." Zhang Yang said with a sly smile.

  Hong Yaqin's face turned completely red this time, and she said shyly: "That was just pretend."

  Then seeing Zhang Yang's smiling mouth, Hong Yaqin couldn't help but give Zhang Yang a punch and said: "Zhang Yang, you've become bad."

  "Really? Do I?" Zhang Yang laughed loudly and said.

  Hong Yaqin hummed a tune.

  Zhang Yang didn't tease her, he knew the principle of knowing when to stop, especially when dealing with this kind of woman. He couldn't let her become alert and had to make a fatal blow. Zhang Yang believed that women like Hong Yaqin, once they got into bed, would definitely be devoted to him afterwards, because she wasn't the kind of woman who easily changed her heart. It was precisely this kind of woman who, once she fell in love, wouldn't easily change her mind.

  Until Hong Yaqin puts her heart and soul in his hands, his career in Beijing will have a solid foundation.

  Chatting and laughing, the two drove to Dongwei Road, Jingu Automobile Park in Jinzhan Town, Chaoyang District. This is a car city, basically all major models are available. Zhang Yang was unfamiliar with it, but Hong Yaqin had been here several times, taking Zhang Yang straight to Area C.

  "If I'm not mistaken, Range Rovers are sold here!" Hong Yaqin said.

  After finishing speaking, they looked at the Land Rover specialty store. Zhang Yang gave a thumbs up and said: "What a good memory."

  "Alright, stop making a fuss, go in and take a look. If you like it, I'll get my friend to come over," said Hong Yaqin.

  Zhang Yang furrowed his brow and said, "It's just buying a car, why bother friends for help?"

  "You don't understand, getting the latest model of Range Rover is not that easy, waiting for two or three months is very normal. If you've set your mind on it, I'll get my friend to help us out and they'll deliver the car to us." said Hong Yaqin.

  Zhang Yang nodded slightly, and as soon as he entered the door, a beautiful female salesperson walked over and asked warmly: "Is it your first time coming to our store?"

  Zhang Yang said: "For the first time, how can this also be said?"

  The female salesperson smiled and said: "Because all the customers who come are registered, if they are old customers, they will be entertained by the customer who received you for the first time. If it's your first time coming, I'll entertain you."

  Hong Yaqin said: "Take us to see the car." Seeing Zhang Yang's confusion, Hong Yaqin explained: "This is related to their commission, whoever receives the client's commission is theirs."

  Zhang Yang hummed in agreement, it turns out there's this saying too.

  The female salesperson led the way in front and introduced herself: "My name is Chen Sanfang, you can call me Ah Fang."

  Walking up to the new Range Rover Velar, Chen Sanfang introduced: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the latest Range Rover Velar, with a V6 engine, and five cameras in total - two at the front, one on each side mirror, and one at the rear, ensuring 360-degree parking without any blind spots."

  Zhang Yang had always been fond of this car model. After seeing the actual car, he liked it even more and asked: "What's the price of this car?"

  "We have four models, priced from 1.898 million to 2.798 million yuan, I don't know which one you like, I can introduce them to you." said Chen Sanfang.

  "No need, just the top-of-the-line model, when will it be available. Zhang Yang added a thought, hearing Hong Yaqin say this, maybe he really can't get the car at the first time."

  As expected, Chen Sanfang said: "We need to book this car in advance. You pay a deposit of 1 million first, and it will take about two to three months to get the physical car."

  Zhang Yang silently looked at Hong Yaqin and was indeed convinced by her words.

  Hong Yaqin smiled and said: "Alright, leave it to me. Miss Chen, find us a quieter spot to sit down for a bit, I'll make a call."

  Seeing the doubt in Chen Sanfang's eyes, Hong Yaqin said: "Don't worry, the commission is yours."

  Chen Sanfang smiled awkwardly, because many related customers called and signed contracts with the sales manager in the first time, and their commissions were often cancelled. Hong Yaqin clearly knew this, so she comforted Chen Sanfang a little.

  After the two sat down, Hong Yaqin said: "Zhang Yang, after buying a car, we still need to communicate with their sales staff on after-sales service. If they don't get a commission, they won't be enthusiastic about it. We can't always find their manager for everything, so this commission is still necessary."

  Zhang Yang smiled and said: "I have no opinion. I also came from a small character, I know how difficult it is for them. If the commission is not given to them, they can still serve with all their heart and soul, it's strange."

  "It's fine as long as you understand. By the way, I'll give Tongtong a call, didn't she agree to lend you her license plate? It's just right to have her come over and we can get everything done for you today." Hong Yaqin said.

  "Isn't it a bit too hasty?"

  "Don't worry. Tongtong can't hide things from others, the sooner it's done, the sooner she'll be at ease." Hong Yaqin said with a smile.

  Zhang Yang sat there without saying anything else, he found that buying a car this time was even more convenient than when he bought the Passat last time. Just sitting here, almost no need to move his own hands, everything was taken care of by others, just sit and wait.
