Chapter 3 The Fellow Villager's Encounter

Lin Yuyan lowered her head, her face flushing red.

"Directly buying a car model?"

Chen Hai widened his eyes and asked curiously.

The saleswoman smiled lightly, pointing at the car before glancing at Lin Yuyan. "This "car" is on display today if you want to but this car you can only buy by paying in full not on instalments."

Xiao Feng couldn't help but chuckle at the confusion, enjoying Chen Hai's awkwardness.

Without hesitation, Xiao Feng casually pulled out a bank card and handed it to the saleswoman. "Swipe it."

The entire showroom fell silent in disbelief.

No one had expected to see such a scene in real life—a young man, dressed simply, buying a luxury car worth a fortune as if it were nothing.

"Are you serious?"

Chen Hai, a self-proclaimed car enthusiast, had long admired the McLaren Elva. However, its astronomical price meant he could only fantasize about owning one. Watching someone buy it so effortlessly left him speechless.

This was what it meant to be truly wealthy.

Although Chen Hai was known as a prominent figure in the capital's elite circles, he knew his financial limits. If he were to purchase such a car, it would severely hurt his finances.

But in front of Xiao Feng, Chen Hai couldn't help but feel humbled.

With a smile, Chen Hai gave a thumbs up. "Impressive. Other than Wang Xiaocong, you're the only person around my age who's truly earned my respect."

He extended his hand. "I'm Chen Hai, by the way."

Xiao Feng returned the smile, shaking his hand. "Nice to meet you. I'm Xiao Feng."

"Brother, you don't sound like a local. Are you from the capital?"

"No, I'm from Changshi, in Sujiang Province," Xiao Feng replied nonchalantly.

Chen Hai frowned slightly, trying to recall if he had ever heard of someone named Xiao Feng among Sujiang's wealthy families. He came up blank.

"You're from Changshi?"

Lin Yuyan, overhearing their conversation, suddenly perked up with interest.

"Yes," Xiao Feng said with a friendly smile. "Judging by your accent, you're from there too?"

"I am! I'm also from Changshi," Lin Yuyan said with a shy smile.

"Haha, what a coincidence! Fellow villagers."

The conversation naturally shifted as Xiao Feng and Lin Yuyan began chatting about their hometown.

Chen Hai, feeling left out, awkwardly pulled out his phone. "Brother, it seems we're fated to meet. Let's add each other on WeChat for future contact."

"Sure."

Xiao Feng didn't hesitate. Building connections, especially with someone as influential as Chen Hai, could prove useful in the future.

After exchanging WeChat IDs and phone numbers, Chen Hai smiled at them both and left.

Ding! The host has purchased a McLaren Elva. A rebate of 95 million yuan has been activated. Would you like to use the 'Intermediate Shopping Crit Card'?

"Activate."

Ding! Congratulations! The Intermediate Shopping Crit Card has been activated. You've received a tenfold rebate: 950 million yuan.

Xiao Feng glanced at his phone, where his balance now displayed 1.05 billion yuan. A satisfied smile spread across his face.

The saleswoman approached quickly, handing back his card with both hands. "Sir, please follow me to finalize the car purchase contract."

"When can I drive it?" Xiao Feng asked casually as he followed her.

"This model is available now. You can take it home as soon as the paperwork is done," she replied, her voice tinged with respect.

By the time everything was completed, it was already 9 PM.

Feeling his stomach grumble, Xiao Feng made his way over to Lin Yuyan, who was finishing her shift. Smiling, he asked, "Fellow villager, how about a ride through the capital in my new McLaren Elva?"

Lin Yuyan hesitated briefly before nodding. "Sure, but I still have a bit of work to finish."

"No problem. I already spoke to your manager; they've approved your leave," Xiao Feng said with a grin.

Lin Yuyan turned to see her manager giving a subtle nod of confirmation.

"Alright, just wait for a moment. I'll wrap up and join you," she said.

Not long after, Lin Yuyan returned, now dressed in a simple yet stylish outfit—a white cropped top, tight jeans, and sneakers.

Her casual attire perfectly showcased her slender figure, and the way the jeans hugged her curves momentarily stunned Xiao Feng.

"Let's go," she said, flashing a bright smile.

As they cruised through the capital's streets, the conversation naturally flowed.

"I've been considering joining some short film projects. They say it could be a stepping stone to bigger opportunities," Lin Yuyan said thoughtfully.

"Are you thinking of becoming a star?" Xiao Feng asked casually.

"Of course. What girl doesn't dream of being in the spotlight?" Lin Yuyan replied softly, her gaze fixed on the glowing neon lights outside.

The McLaren roared through the city streets, its engine a symphony of power and precision, turning heads wherever they pass from.

Eventually,the car slowed to a stop outside a small yet bustling food stall.
