Chapter 100

Qiping's Cadillac Escalade was always fully occupied. While the vehicle's off-road capabilities were one thing, the most important factor was that Qiping really needed a car with a larger space; otherwise, it would be inconvenient for travel. Theoretically, the Escalade could accommodate eight people, but this might not be enough.

Just look at the back seat. Although Joshua monopolized the front passenger seat, this time he insisted on joining the fun when he heard that Kate was going to buy a sports car with Qiping. Qiping didn't mind bringing him along; after all, Joshua was asking for it. He thought they were just going to buy a car, but he had a mission too.

Kate, holding Vinnie, was also restless in the second row. Vinnie was playing games with her, while King Kong was sitting on the side eating fruit. As for the third row, Dongnanxibei jumped in as soon as they saw Qiping drive the car out. They were going to play together anyway. Naturally, the two parrots knew it was fun outside and didn't want to miss out.

Now, it looked like everyone in the family was out, except for the black bear, which was too big to fit in the car. Qiping didn't mind bringing these peculiar special passengers; after all, it was just for fun. Plus, the little ones were so well-behaved and sensible, so Qiping didn't mind bringing them out to play.

"I don't like BMW. Can we consider not going to BMW?" Qiping negotiated. Although he was the one buying the sports car, Qiping would ultimately be the one paying for it; however, Kate's opinion was very important in this process.

"I support your decision. Since we're not choosing the top-of-the-line supercars, we shouldn't settle for anything less. I think Ferrari, Porsche, Maserati, or Pagani are better options because their main products are sports cars," Kate agreed. It wasn't that BMW or Mercedes were bad, but she felt that the products from companies that only produced sports cars were better.

"I think Bentley or Rolls-Royce are also great, Qi. I know you have the means! Don't just get an ordinary sports car; you need a more luxurious car, a real luxury car!" Joshua, sitting in the front passenger seat, was eager to share his opinion.

"Within $100,000, that's what Kate and I agreed on. Buddy, believe me, you only have the right to be present, not to give your opinion," Qiping teased Joshua. A sports car around $100,000 was indeed quite good, but these sports cars were relatively 'common.'

Joshua loudly protested, but his opinion was completely ignored. Clearly, this decision was up to Qiping and Kate, and they had already discussed it beforehand.

A large group of special guests arrived at the Maserati 4S store, drawing the attention of many people.

"Sir, I'm sorry, but your pets might cause some inconvenience to other customers," the security guard said, doing his job diligently, but he also stopped Qiping and his group.

"OK, no problem." Qiping wasn't trying to cause trouble; after all, this was a rule at Ferrari. If the little ones weren't allowed in, then they would leave. Since they came as a group, they would leave as a group.

Seeing the chubby little bear happily following the peculiar young man with yellow skin, many people gathered to watch. Moreover, the young man not only had two beautiful, colorful parrots on his shoulders but also a walking black chimpanzee on a leash.

"We don't want Ferrari anymore, and we won't buy Maserati in the future!" Joshua was upset. He had some good feelings about Maserati, but now he had none left. Not allowing King Kong and the others in made him angry.

Kate rarely criticized Joshua; in fact, she was also very angry. The security guard hadn't done anything wrong, but bringing a large group of small animals was indeed showy, especially with a chimpanzee, a black bear, and four imposing German Shepherds. The key was that these animals were not restrained and could run around freely.

Even knowing that the security guard was just following the rules, Kate was still upset. King Kong and the others were part of the family and couldn't accept such treatment. So, they turned and left without a word. Maserati probably didn't mind, as they didn't care about one customer, let alone a potential one.

"Vinnie, don't run around, come back quickly!" Seeing Vinnie chasing a small ball, Joshua quickly followed. He knew that in the forest, Qiping never restricted these little ones, so they had developed some habits of running around.

"I'm sorry, but I want to say that they are very smart and cute. They won't hurt anyone, but I hope everyone can give them some space." The group wobbled toward the Ferrari 4S store, drawing even more onlookers. Although people were hesitant to get too close, there were many who were watching and taking photos.

"Is that Vinnie? I've seen their photos and ads online; they are very cute," a young girl with freckles asked. She had seen the videos and, although she wasn't sure if the chubby little bear was Vinnie, the presence of the chimpanzee and parrots confirmed that they were the main characters from the ad series.

"Vinnie, it's really Vinnie!" The girl got excited when she saw Vinnie sitting on the ground. The little one was looking around, seemingly trying to figure out who was calling it. He remembered everyone he knew, and the voice calling him was new.

"I'm Liangshanbo!"

"I'm Zhu Yingtai!"

The parrots started to perform. Initially, they were shy and scared with so many people watching and taking photos, but now they seemed to be in their element, loudly introducing themselves.

This drew even more attention. The little ones were already special, and now their identities were recognized, leading to even more attention. Ultimately, it was because these little ones were so cute that even those who didn't know King Kong and Vinnie's identities were curious and taking photos.

Crowd-pleasers, that was a characteristic of King Kong and the others. Seeing so many people, the little ones started to get rowdy. Liangshanbo and Zhu Yingtai were showing off their language skills, while Vinnie's job was to be cute and silly. He did somersaults and imitated human walking, never tiring of it. Even if he couldn't do a somersault properly, the laughter from the crowd made him even happier.

"We still need to buy a car, you can play later." Seeing Vinnie reluctant to leave, Qiping had to use his ultimate move. The cute little bear struggled and protested in his owner's arms, but the onlookers, though disappointed, found him very cute.

Dongnanxibei were well-behaved, following Qiping and Kate obediently. Even King Kong, who was being led by Kate, kept looking back and blowing kisses to the crowd. This was King Kong's way of greeting, which he hadn't used in a long time but hadn't forgotten.

This was a complete celebrity treatment. They had come to buy a car, but now it felt more like a fan meet-and-greet for Vinnie and King Kong. Although Qiping felt a bit proud, it wasn't the right time. Clearly, this was affecting his plans; they were here to buy a car!

Although Maserati didn't allow pets in the store, Ferrari 4S had no problem. This was partly because Vinnie and the others were 'celebrities,' so there were fewer restrictions. However, one thing was certain: Qiping and the others needed to take good care of these little ones, which was Qiping's responsibility and duty.

Buying a car, a sports car; although they had done some preparation before coming, Qiping and Kate still had a lot to consider when it came to actually buying the car. Even though it wasn't the top-of-the-line supercar, it was still a sports car, and they couldn't be careless.
