Chapter 99: He He Laosi-Royce Kulinan

Luo Tianrui laughed at this, and Shen Ci looked at him and asked: "Is everyone in Longcheng right now?"

"No, a few people went home for the National Day holiday."

Shen Ci nodded: "Then let's wait until everyone is back after the holiday, and I'll treat everyone to a meal then."

After saying this, she transferred "5" yuan directly to Luo Tianrui.

Luo Tianrui was startled and subconsciously refused: "Shen Ci, this won't do, I can't accept this money."

Shen Ci explained calmly: "It's not just for you; you eight should split it. At the very least, your daily food, clothing, housing, and transportation should be guaranteed. This will be every month from now on."

"We are already very grateful that you are willing to invest and support us." Luo Tianrui felt very embarrassed and said as he tried to decline the transfer: "I really can't accept it."

"I've already invested hundreds, what's there to be embarrassed about with a few yuan in subsidies?" Shen Ci interrupted him and said seriously: "You should focus all your energy on the project now. As an investor, I certainly don't want you to be distracted by other things. If everyone were like Senior Brother Ge, running out to work part-time for living expenses every day, the project cycle would inevitably be prolonged. Time cost is also a cost, and invisible losses are something I have to consider."

This statement was very persuasive, and Luo Tianrui's movements paused.

Gu Lianxing couldn't watch anymore and chimed in from the side: "Shen Ci considers things very comprehensively. Don't be stubborn at this time. She is wholeheartedly thinking about the project and you all. If you are truly grateful to her, working hard to do the project well is better than anything else."

Luo Tianrui bit his lip hesitantly, his heart both struggling and moved.

Finally, he nodded: "Then I thank you on behalf of everyone."

Seeing him accept it, Shen Ci smiled: "Once the contract is signed, you will be my team. I will advance and retreat with you. Don't have too much pressure. I know that investment has risks. Even if it doesn't succeed in the end, I won't blame you."

"We will do our best," Luo Tianrui said seriously.

After an iced Americano, Luo Tianrui left with the contract.

Shen Ci glanced at the time and then looked at Gu Lianxing: "What are we doing next?"

Gu Lianxing thought for a moment and said: "I want to get a manicure."

"Then you go get your manicure, I want to go look at cars."

"You want to buy a car? Can you drive?" Gu Lianxing asked.

Shen Ci naturally knew how to drive, but she didn't have a driver's license yet.

"Anyway, it takes time to get the car, so I'll just go take the test."

Gu Lianxing hesitated for a moment and said: "Then I'll accompany you to look at cars. Getting a manicure by myself is very boring."

Shen Ci nodded, and the two walked out of the coffee shop arm in arm. Gu Lianxing asked curiously: "What kind of car do you want to buy?"

"Let's look first, I don't know much about it."

Since the two had nothing to do, they went to 4S dealerships for luxury car brands like "Ferrari," "Bentley," and "Lamborghini," but Shen Ci didn't take a liking to any of them.

Her understanding of cars was not comprehensive, let alone professional, so she valued "first impressions" the most.

If there was a car she liked at first sight, she would pay without hesitation.

Finally, the two entered a "He He Laosi-Royce" 4S dealership.

As soon as they entered the store, Gu Lianxing ran to the sofa in the lounge and sat down, looking at Shen Ci bitterly: "Darling, you look yourself. I really need to rest; my legs have been walked thin by you."

Shen Ci smiled helplessly and nodded. Just then, a salesperson proactively stepped forward to provide service.

"Hello, ma'am. Do you have a need to purchase a car?"

The service staff was a cute girl with dimples, and her voice was sweet when she spoke.

Shen Ci nodded: "Yes, can you take me around to look?"

"Of course, please come this way." The young girl led the way enthusiastically and asked, tilting her head: "Ma'am, have you learned about our 'He He Laosi-Royce' brand models before? Do you have a preferred style?"

Shen Ci smiled and shook her head: "I don't know much about cars."

Hearing this, the salesperson showed a professional smile: "That's fine, I can introduce them to you. If you like any, you can also sit in them and experience them."

"Okay, thank you."

As they spoke, Shen Ci had followed the salesperson to the exhibition area. What met her eyes were small sedan models, as well as colorful sports cars.

Based on sales experience, most women choose exquisite and brightly colored small sedans or sports cars, so the salesperson subconsciously brought Shen Ci to this area first.

It was a pity that Shen Ci didn't like this kind of sedan.

In terms of color, she favored black and white, and in terms of car type, she preferred something steady and atmospheric.

So after just a casual glance, Shen Ci said directly to the salesperson: "I don't like sports cars. Take me to see larger models."

"No problem, please come this way."

Following the salesperson to another exhibition area, the models that met her eyes were completely different from the small and exquisite cars just now. Shen Ci's eyes lit up, and she immediately took a liking to one of the white cars.

This was the so-called "first impression." You absolutely can't go wrong with something you like at first sight.

Without needing the young salesperson to lead the way, Shen Ci headed straight for that car. The model was upright and atmospheric, the white body had smooth lines, and pink elements were dotted in the details, instantly lighting up the car's feminine traits without making it feel like a model difficult for a woman to handle.

Seeing this, the young girl hurried to catch up and introduced: "This is the latest model of our 'He He Laosi-Royce Kulinan.' The overall body is..."

She introduced it fluently and casually opened the car door. The luxurious interior came into view, paired with its most classic "starlight headliner."

"How long until I can take delivery?" Shen Ci interrupted the young girl's professional jargon and asked.

The other party was slightly stunned and hurriedly said: "Ma'am, if you pay the deposit today, you can take delivery in three months at the earliest."

"Can't it be faster?" Shen Ci asked.

It would take her at most a month to retake her driver's license test.

The young girl shook her head apologetically: "I'm sorry, ma'am. Except for regular models, other models of our brand are not mass-produced, so you need to wait in line. Three months is already the fastest time."

Shen Ci nodded in understanding and was about to finalize it when someone suddenly popped up beside her.

"Shen Ci!"

Shen Ci was startled. She turned her head and found it was actually Gu Yunzhou.

Unlike the night of the cocktail party when he wore a flamboyant embroidered suit, Gu Yunzhou was simply wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts today, and his feet were extremely relaxed in a pair of flip-flops.

"Are you following me?" Shen Ci said, half-jokingly.

Gu Yunzhou shrugged and gestured with his chin toward the distance: "I'm here to have my car serviced. I didn't expect to run into you here."

As he spoke, he looked at the "Kulinan" in front of him and couldn't help but show a surprised look: "Whoa, you're a girl and you want to drive a 'Kulinan'? That's cool enough!" ===== CHAPTER 100 =====
