Chapter 298 Brother Ye has excellent taste!
"Great idea!" Wu Shaojie was pleased that Ye Fan didn't refuse. He glanced at his watch. "It's almost dinnertime, Brother Ye, don't leave! I just got my hands on a bottle of some good vintage wine a few days ago, let's open it and celebrate our reunion!"
Ye Fan admired Wu Shaojie's straightforward personality, so he said, "Sure! But this meal has to be on me!"
"Oh! Next time! Next time it's your treat!" Wu Shaojie immediately waved his hand. "Today it's on my restaurant, let me be a good host! The restaurant has its own small kitchen, the chef's skills are no worse than a five-star hotel, and the ingredients are fresh! It's settled then!"
His tone left no room for argument, carrying a hint of the domineering air of a wealthy family.
Seeing his insistence, Ye Fan didn't refuse any longer and said with a smile, "Alright, then I'll respectfully comply and follow Brother Wu's arrangements!"
Under the personal supervision of Wu Shaojie, the young master of the business, the car purchase procedures were completed at an astonishing speed. Soon, he led Ye Fan and Miao Zi, who had returned after completing the procedures, directly to the second floor of the 4S store.
This place is a hidden gem, featuring a private banquet hall!
The interior design is extremely luxurious: precious mahogany furniture, Chinese paintings with profound artistic conception hanging on the walls, a meticulously maintained small garden outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and a dazzling crystal chandelier emitting a soft light. There is even a temperature-controlled cigar cabinet and wine cabinet in the corner.
It's more like a private club than part of a 4S store.
Exquisite dishes were quickly laid out on the table.
Wu Shaojie was accompanied by a gentle and well-dressed female companion.
Wu Shaojie's female companion was very well-mannered. She took the initiative to pick up the bottle of aged Moutai that had been decanted and was exuding a mellow aroma, and gracefully filled Wu Shaojie and Ye Fan's crystal-clear glasses with it.
Wu Shaojie raised his glass, his smile sincere: "Brother Ye, this first toast is to the fate that has brought us together twice! Cheers!"
Ye Fan smiled and raised his glass, lightly clinking it against Wu Shaojie's: "To fate! Cheers!"
The two drank it all in one gulp.
The wine is mellow and smooth on the palate, with a unique aroma that comes from years of aging; it is indeed a fine wine.
Setting down his wine glass, Wu Shaojie's gaze lingered for a moment, seemingly unintentionally, on Miao Zi, who sat quietly beside Ye Fan. Then, with a knowing smile between men, he winked at Ye Fan and whispered, "Brother Ye, you have excellent taste!"
He clearly noticed his female companion today, who possessed a cool and capable demeanor, quite different from the one he had met last time, yet both were top-tier beauties.
This "ability" deepened his "admiration" for Ye Fan.
Ye Fan naturally understood his implied meaning, laughed heartily, offered no explanation, and simply raised his wine glass, returning Wu Shaojie's smile with a meaningful tone.
Some things are best left unsaid, left unsaid.
Time slipped away unnoticed as we clinked glasses and exchanged toasts.
This lunch took almost two hours to eat.
Ye Fan and Wu Shaojie hit it off as they talked, from cars to investments, from anecdotes to insider secrets, their conversation feeling like they had known each other for ages and were having a heart-to-heart talk.
Neither of them were heavy drinkers. After downing half a jin of aged Moutai, they were pleasantly tipsy. Neither of them urged the other to drink more, and they simply enjoyed this rare moment of camaraderie and relaxation. The atmosphere was natural and pleasant.
Wu Shaojie raised his glass, which still held a little more than half a glass of wine, his eyes slightly sleepy, but his tone was unusually earnest: "Brother Ye, this drink was delicious today! Next time, when I find something good, I'll call you. You can't refuse your brother's request!"
Ye Fan also picked up his glass and clinked it with his own, smiling, "Don't worry, Brother Wu! If you call, I'll skip class to come!"
His tone carried a youthful boldness.
"Hahaha!" Wu Shaojie burst into laughter, then waved his hand dismissively, feigning seriousness. "That won't do! You still need to focus on your studies! We...we'll meet up this weekend! Yes, this weekend! It won't interfere with your studies!"
This guy has clearly had too much to drink; he's even starting to care about reading.
Ye Fan couldn't help but chuckle: "Alright, alright, I'll listen to Brother Wu, it's the weekend!"
"Good brother!" Wu Shaojie nodded in satisfaction, put down his wine glass, and turned his gaze to Miao Zi, who had been sitting quietly and dignifiedly next to Ye Fan. His tone carried a hint of entrustment, "Sister Miao Zi, I'm entrusting this brother to you. Be careful on the road."
Miao Zi immediately picked up the teacup in front of her and bowed slightly: "Yes, Mr. Wu, please rest assured!"
Wu Shaojie's female companion, Xiaoli, also spoke up at the opportune moment, smiling gently at Miao Zi: "Miao Zi, you can drive your new Maybach back. I'll arrange for someone to deliver Mr. Ye's car to you this afternoon. Where to? The company or your home?"
She was clearly very competent in handling matters.
Miao Zi gave the address of Zifeng Tower: "Thank you, Sister Xiao Li. Just deliver it to the underground parking garage of Zifeng Tower."
"You're welcome, it's my pleasure," Xiaoli replied with a smile.
Miao Zi stood up and walked out of the banquet hall first.
Soon, she drove her brand-new Maybach S400, which gleamed with understated luxury in the sunlight, and slowly pulled up in front of the door.
Ye Fan and Wu Shaojie helped each other out, shook hands firmly at the door, patted each other on the shoulder, and then said goodbye.
Miao Zi got out of the car and carefully helped Ye Fan, who was already six or seven parts drunk and leaning against the porch pillar, into the spacious and comfortable back seat.
As soon as Ye Fan sat down, he sank into the soft, supportive NAPPA leather seat, which felt like a sofa, and sighed comfortably.
Miao Zi closed the door for him before getting into the driver's seat herself.
"Mr. Wu, Sister Xiaoli, we're leaving now." Miao Zi rolled down the car window and said goodbye again.
"Drive slowly!" Wu Shaojie waved.
The Maybach smoothly glided out of the 4S store and merged into the traffic.
The carriage fell silent instantly, with only the tranquility brought by the top-notch sound insulation and the faint sound of the air conditioning blowing.
The new car's unique elegant aroma, a blend of genuine leather, wood trim, and a subtle fragrance, filled the air. Miao Zi glanced at Ye Fan in the back seat through the rearview mirror; he had his eyes closed and his head slightly tilted back against the headrest.
Miao Zi reported softly, her voice exceptionally clear in the quiet car: "The car is a top-of-the-line S400, originally priced at 160.8 million yuan. Mr. Wu gave us the biggest discount, and we got it for 145 million yuan. The total price, including purchase tax, insurance, and registration, was 145 million yuan."
"Yes!" Ye Fan nodded. He would have to return the favor when he had the chance.
The interior of the Maybach is quite nice, and it has that characteristic new car smell.
The entire interior is made of a combination of brown leather and peach wood, with exquisite craftsmanship and beautiful stitching, truly befitting a luxury business vehicle.
The car's sound insulation, shock absorption, and power are all top-notch.
Sitting in the back, there's enough space to cross your legs.
Miao Zi drove carefully. Although her husband seemed nonchalant, it didn't stop her from feeling excited.
A faint, gentle smile appeared on Miao Zi's lips, a smile she herself didn't even notice. She didn't disturb her any further, but simply turned up the car's interior temperature by one degree and drove even more smoothly, trying to filter out every tiny bump.
