Chapter 42

Chen Ran wore a sweet smile different from her professional one and warmly greeted Lin Fan:

"Sir, welcome to Longcheng International Auto City. May I ask if you are here to buy a car?"

Before Lin Fan could speak, Qiqi raised her small hand and answered, "Yes, big sister, we are here to look at cars."

Seeing the innocent and adorable Qiqi, Chen Ran couldn't help but praise her, "What a beautiful little girl."

Qiqi smiled sweetly and replied, "Big sister, you are very pretty too."

Hearing this, Chen Ran also smiled, and the two beauties, one big and one small, smiled at each other, forming a beautiful scene in the bustling auto city.

Chen Ran then turned her gaze to Lin Fan and asked with a smile, "Sir, do you have a preferred car model?"

Lin Fan replied indifferently, "No particular preference. Let's start with the domestic models."

Chen Ran, thinking that this young father was actually a loyal supporter of domestic brands, extended her hand in a "please" gesture and led Lin Fan to the car display area.

"Sir, we don't have many purely domestic brands in our auto city, only about a dozen. Domestic cars mainly target the mid-to-low-end market."

"This is the Haima Knight, with a good cost-performance ratio. It is priced at just 120,000 yuan and is a popular model among the masses."

Lin Fan glanced at the black Haima Knight, nodded slightly, and said nothing.

Seeing this, Chen Ran continued to lead Lin Fan forward and pointed to the next car, a burgundy one, and introduced it, "This is the MG6, in the same class as the Haima Knight, priced at 138,000 yuan."

Chen Ran led Lin Fan through the car display area, introducing all the domestic models, including brands like Zhonghua, Changan, Great Wall, and Hongqi. Half an hour passed without them noticing.

Finally, Chen Ran led Lin Fan to an SUV and pointed to the black SUV on the stand, saying, "This is the 2017 Haval H6, a best-selling model in our auto city and a god car among domestic SUVs. The new Haval H6 Luxury and Super Luxury models have been redesigned in appearance. The Haval H6 has two versions: the Blue Label version has a new grille, fog light area, and exhaust layout, making it look more fashionable and sporty. The Red Label version has been adjusted in detail, with 'C'-shaped chrome decorations in the fog light area, adding a touch of elegance. Additionally, both versions have new LED headlights, providing better lighting and ensuring safer nighttime driving..."

Chen Ran introduced the car with great enthusiasm. Lin Fan had been quite cold and seemed unsatisfied with the models she introduced, so she was a bit worried that the deal might fall through, which would mean all her efforts would be in vain. She therefore tried even harder to sell the car.

Although as a car salesperson, she had plenty of experience with fruitless efforts, Chen Ran didn't want to give up any opportunity. After all, her family's financial situation wasn't good, and if she could earn more money, it would help alleviate the burden on her parents.

Listening to the girl's enthusiastic introduction, Lin Fan smiled. Actually, this car was quite good overall, both in appearance and performance, and the larger space inside the SUV also met his requirements.

"Qiqi, do you like this car?" Lin Fan asked for the little one's opinion.

"Hmm, it's okay. These cars all look similar, but Qiqi wants a blue one," Qiqi said, blinking her clear, bright eyes.

Seeing that Qiqi agreed, Lin Fan had no objections and turned to Chen Ran, saying, "Let's go with this Haval H6. I'll take the blue Super Luxury model."

"Sure, sir, please follow me."

Chen Ran was slightly excited. She had been working part-time here for three months, and this was only her fifth successful sale. Although the domestic car model wasn't expensive and the commission wasn't much, it was enough to make her happy for several days.

Chen Ran looked at Lin Fan with gratitude and led him to complete the procedures.

Copying the ID, signing the documents, and paying by card, twenty minutes later, Lin Fan drove away in a new blue Haval H6 Super Luxury SUV, with Qiqi in the car.

"I didn't expect this ordinary-looking person to buy a car in full payment."

After seeing Lin Fan off, Chen Ran couldn't help but wonder. However, regardless of how it turned out, the car was sold, and she was very happy. The commission from this sale would be enough for her monthly living expenses.

Chen Ran hummed a song happily as she returned to the front desk.

"Xiao Ran, did you make a sale? Was it the young customer with the child just now?" the male salesperson who had "given" Lin Fan to Chen Ran asked.

He had let Chen Ran take Lin Fan and had served a customer dressed in designer clothes. However, that person had only looked and asked many questions but didn't buy a car. Seeing Chen Ran leading Lin Fan to the transaction center, he asked.

"Yes, I made a sale. The customer just now bought a Haval H6 Super Luxury SUV in full payment," Chen Ran replied with a smile.

"Oh, congratulations, Xiao Ran," the male salesperson said with relief. He had initially regretted giving the customer to Chen Ran, but now that the person had only bought a domestic car for a few hundred thousand yuan, he felt more balanced.

If Chen Ran had sold a car worth several hundred thousand or even a million yuan, the male salesperson might have felt differently, possibly even resenting Chen Ran or even trying to sabotage her behind her back. After all, he had been working there for over a decade, with far more connections and experience than a college student just out of school.

People are like that; they can't stand to see others do better than themselves. When others are at the bottom with them, they don't feel resentful, but if they are at the bottom and see others climb out, they feel jealous and不平衡. However, they never think about what those who climbed out of the bottom had to sacrifice.

"Ran Ran, congratulations," another girl about Chen Ran's age said, holding her hand.

This girl was Wu Qian, Chen Ran's classmate and friend. They had come to work here together, and seeing her friend make a sale, she was also very happy.

"Qian Qian, Brother Jian, let's go to Zuidie Xuan for dinner tonight, my treat," Chen Ran said. After several months of part-time work, she wasn't completely clueless about social graces. After all, this sale was originally Brother Jian's, and he had given her the opportunity, so it was only right to express her gratitude.

Brother Jian looked at Chen Ran, a faint smile on his face. He thought this girl was quite smart. Although a meal at Zuidie Xuan would cost no more than a few hundred yuan, Chen Ran's gesture made him feel very comfortable and genuinely accepted her as a new colleague. He thought about how he could help her in the future.

(Haha, it seems there's no standard car-buying plot where the snobbish salesperson gets a slap in the face. Director, this actor isn't following the script, no need to prepare his lunch!)

...

After leaving the auto city, Lin Fan took Qiqi to the mall. Now that they had a car, everything was more convenient.

They bought a lot of household items and installed a child safety seat in the car. They then went to a toy store and bought many toys, which made Qiqi extremely happy. She kept hugging Lin Fan's neck and kissing him, laughing all the way.

The father and daughter spent over two hours in the mall. They had the large items delivered to Jiangnan Shuian, and the rest filled the car. Lin Fan secured Qiqi in the child safety seat, fastened her seatbelt, and prepared to take her home.

Just as Lin Fan started the engine, he thought of something.
