Chapter 50: Picking Up the Car

April 24, 2023, Monday, overcast, 8~13°C.

At 6:00 AM, an excellent biological clock woke Tang Song up.

He changed into sportswear, drank a glass of warm water, went to the bathroom, smiled, and began his daily fasted cardio.

After finishing breakfast and resting for a while, he conducted half an hour of posture training.

Tang Song packed his things and took a taxi to the Yancheng Baode BMW 4S dealership.

Because the distance was far and it was the peak commuting period, it took nearly half an hour to reach the destination.

Walking into the sensor-activated glass door, an enthusiastic sales girl immediately came up to greet him, "Hello, sir, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Is Yu Qiuna from the sales department here? I have an appointment with her."

The sales girl shouted in one direction: "Nana, your client is here!"

Yu Qiuna, who was standing behind the counter, trotted over. She was in her early twenties, with pretty features, medium-short hair, and was wearing a black ladies' suit skirt, looking very spirited.

Tang Song took his ID card out of his pocket and handed it over, "Hello, I'm here to pick up my car."

Yu Qiuna took the ID card and glanced at it. Her heart jumped, and the expression on her face immediately became vivid, "Mr. Tang! Please wait in the lounge for a moment; I'll go arrange the car pickup process for you right away."

"Okay, thank you."

Tang Song sat down on the large sofa in the corner, his gaze scanning the spacious and luxurious oversized showroom, as well as the BMW cars that were shining with flowing light.

In his mind, he outlined the appearance of his 330i M Sport, unable to wait to see its true face.

After waiting for ten minutes, Yu Qiuna walked over quickly, bent down, and leaned close to him, "Mr. Tang, your beloved car has arrived in the pickup area. I'll take you over."

"Okay, thank you."

The brightly lit pickup area was decorated with various flowers, balloons, and ornaments, and a car covered with a black dust cloth was quietly lying in wait there.

The smooth and natural body lines were faintly visible, full of a different kind of aesthetic beauty.

Yu Qiuna smiled and said, "Mr. Tang, would you like to lift the dust cloth yourself? I'll help you take photos to record it."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work!" Tang Song nodded lightly. After all, it was his first time experiencing a car pickup ceremony, and it felt quite novel.

Grabbing the soft-textured dust cloth, he pulled it backward with force, and the pitch-black, bright car body was gradually revealed.

The BMW 330i, located directly under the lights, exuded a deep luster, like obsidian, both steady and atmospheric, yet elegant and dynamic.

The large front grille echoed with the sharp headlights on both sides, bringing a strong visual impact.

The black paint made the body lines more distinct, looking smooth and natural, very exquisite.

Tang Song took a deep breath, feeling his heartbeat accelerating.

"This is a standard wheelbase 330, 2.0T 245 horsepower, rear-wheel drive.

The carbon black exterior paired with the volcanic red interior is very beautiful.

360 panoramic imaging, 16 Harman Kardon speakers, head-up display, blue eyebrow headlights...

The optional parts are basically maxed out: 19-inch smoked black aluminum alloy wheels, driving assistance system, winter package, comfort package..."

While listening to the sales girl's introduction, Tang Song checked the car inside and out.

After confirming there were no problems, he signed his name briskly on the acceptance form.

Immediately, a clear voice came from behind: "Sorry, Mr. Tang, I'm late!"

Tang Song turned around and saw a man in his 30s walking over, wearing a suit uniform, with a tall and straight figure, his hair groomed meticulously.

The sales girl, Yu Qiuna, looked stern and hurriedly bent down to greet him, "Director Zhao!"

Hearing this title, Tang Song also reacted; this should be the Director Zhao who helped him transfer the car from another place.

Director Zhao raised an enthusiastic smile on his face and took the initiative to reach out his hand, "Hello, Mr. Tang, I am Zhao Wenyu, the Sales Director of Yancheng Baode Automobile Sales Service Company. Thank you for your trust in our dealership. If there is any service that is not up to par, please forgive me."

"Hello, Director Zhao."

The two shook hands lightly and exchanged simple pleasantries.

Zhao Wenyu introduced the situation of the car to him in detail again and finally added, "In order to let Mr. Tang get his beloved car as soon as possible, we specially contacted the headquarters and transferred a car from Rongcheng that is consistent with your selected options and color scheme. I hope you are satisfied."

"Thank you, I am very satisfied."

"You are too polite! We have internal channels here; license plate registration and insurance can be handled for you before noon. If you are not busy, you can go to the second-floor lounge to play for a while. There are billiards, a cinema, massage chairs, coffee, and snacks."

Tang Song looked at the time and laughed, "Okay."

Zhao Wenyu didn't stay long, speaking and acting with a sense of propriety. After brushing up his favorability and showing his face in front of him, he left directly.

In the lounge on the second floor, Tang Song was pleasantly surprised to find a large bookshelf.

On it were neatly placed many literary works and fashion magazines.

After picking for a while, he pulled out a copy of "The Old Man and the Sea," sat on the massage chair, and while drinking the coffee handed over by the sales staff, began to read earnestly.

After a long while, the phone rang suddenly.

Tang Song put down the book in his hand, took out his phone, and looked at it; it was a local landline number.

He answered the call.

A sweet voice came from the opposite side: "Hello Tang Song, I am Tian Jing from the Human Resources Department. Is it convenient to talk now?"

Tang Song raised his eyebrows, "Convenient."

Jinxiu Trading Co., Ltd.

Tian Jing sat in the office, shaking her legs somewhat nervously, thinking about how to speak next.

This was the first time she had done such a disgraceful thing after being promoted to Compensation Supervisor, and she really couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart.

After hesitating for a long while, she opened WeChat and clicked into a group named "The Beauty of 2D."

Inside, they were discussing the style of cosplay costumes.

She left a message directly: "Help, help! @Qingqing @Yunyu, two workplace big shots, help me! Something happened!"

Because it was during working hours and her tone was very urgent, someone replied quickly.

【Qingqing: "What's wrong, Sorry Xiao Jing? Is someone in the company bullying you?"】

【Sisi: "Could it be workplace bullying? I'm shivering while still in school."】

【Tian Jing: "I'm in charge of compensation management in the company now, right? The Technical Department Director came to discuss with me, wanting to 'beat' an ordinary employee, asking me to talk to him. If he agrees to a 10% salary cut, he can stay; if he doesn't agree, he goes directly through the resignation procedure. I always feel that this approach is very despicable and I can't say it. What should I do?"】

【Yunyu: "Hehe, isn't this a typical black-hearted leader? Sorry Xiao Jing! Are you going to be an accomplice!?"】

【Tian Jing: "But... this is my job. Our HR Director agreed to it. There will definitely be similar things coming to me in the future. I'm so distressed! How can I speak so that he won't be so sad?"】

【Yunyu: "Why don't you wear a maid cosplay outfit to talk to him? That way, you can make up for his wounded heart."】

【Sisi: "I have a high-slit one here, @Sorry Xiao Jing, do you want it? 99 including shipping!"】

Below, many teasing replies appeared instantly; tails, bells, and belts all came out.

It made Tian Jing blush.

She angrily typed on the keyboard: "Iya! All you real-life 'baka's, shut up! I'm talking about serious business! @Qingqing, aren't you managing dozens of people in the company? Big shot, teach me!"】

After waiting for a long while, Qingqing finally gave a reply.

【Qingqing: "You can first express your appreciation and love for his character and ability, praise his strengths vigorously, chat with him like a friend, let him relax, and finally reveal your true intention tactfully. With the recognition of a cute girl like you, I believe he will feel much more comfortable."】

Tian Jing read it twice earnestly, and finally felt a bit of confidence in her heart.

She picked up the phone on the table and dialed it. ===== CHAPTER 51 =====
