The Rich Second-Generation Villain With No Morals

Chapter 22:

“Boss, how is the paint on my car?” 

Qi Lin brought Lán Yǔxī to a Mercedes-Benz 4S store. 

In 2005, Mercedes-Benz formed a partnership, introducing the Beijin-Benz brand. 

The first US-produced Mercedes-Benz were the two old E240 and C300 Mercedes models.

But Qi Lin wasn’t driving a U.S.-made Mercedes-Benz. 

Instead, it was the famous Tiger Head Benz of the 1990s, the Mercedes-Benz W140. 

Back then, it was the preferred ride for big shots in Hong Kong movies because the net exhaust grill resembled a tiger head on the king’s character name.

Although it had entered a new era, this car’s reputation still resonated in the underworld. 

Even the famous real estate tycoon Wang Jinlin couldn’t bear to replace his Tiger Head Benz S600 after 20 years, and he even got a license plate with the number 88888. 

So, how could Qi Lin bear to take such a cherished car to a random store for repainting? 

He went straight to the nearest Mercedes 4S shop in Jianghan City and asked them to repaint the damaged car’s surface. 

“Mr. Qi, we’ve repainted and waxed your car. It’s all clean now; you can take a look.” 

Immediately, the manager of the 4S store rushed out of the office to personally greet Qi Lin in the lobby. 

He was very excited.

In 2002, anyone who could afford a big Benz was definitely a big shot, let alone someone willing to go to a 4S shop specifically for a repaint. 

Qi Lin was taken to a well-equipped repair room and saw his beloved car. 

At this moment, the body of the Tiger Head Benz had been completely renewed, and the long scratch was completely gone. 

Qi Lin nodded in satisfaction and asked, “How much is it?” 

The manager quickly smiled, “We’ve repainted all four sides of the car. It’s 3000 yuan for each side, so it’s a total of 12,000 yuan. But since Mr. Qi is a regular customer of our 4S shop, I’ll give you a 20% discount, so you only need to pay 9600 yuan.” 

“Hiss~”

Lan Yuxi had become more cautious since entering this upscale 4S store. 

Although she looked down on the rich second-generation Qi Lin, she had never been to such an expensive place. 

Especially when she heard that the repair cost for just one of Qi Lin’s cars was as high as 12,000 yuan, even after the discount it still cost 9600 yuan, her whole worldview changed. 

Despite her father being a police captain and her mother a head nurse, in 2002, before China joined the WTO, the economy had yet to enter the fast lane. Most citizens had low incomes. 

Her father earned just over 3000 yuan a month, and her mother’s income was about the same, including bonuses. 

Even so, the couple’s combined monthly income wasn’t enough to pay for Qi Lin’s car repairs. 

She knew Qi Lin’s family was wealthy, but she had no idea how rich they were. 

“Why are you looking at me like that? I don’t have that much money?” 

When Lan Yuxi saw Qi Lin’s gaze shift to her, she was startled and immediately waved her hands. 

Seeing Lan Yuxi’s frightened look, Qi Lin couldn’t help but laugh again. 

In his previous life, he always thought people with good grades were more outstanding and envied them. 

But looking at it now, it wasn’t that great.

Faced with such a big deal, they were no match for him, a rich second-generation.

“Who said I wanted you to pay? I already told my dad about the car getting scratched yesterday.” 

Qi Lin grinned as he spoke. 

“You’re gonna get scolded by your dad for scratching the car and spending so much money.” 

Lan Yuxi wrinkled her cute nose and sounded pleased with herself. 

“That’s not true. My dad transferred 20,000 yuan directly to me and asked if I needed more money. If it was not enough, he said I could ask him for more.” 

Qi Lin took out two stacks of cash from his pocket and handed one stack to the 4S store manager. 

Lan Yuxi: “…”

Once again, Lan Yu Xi couldn’t help but puff out her tiny mouth.

She was irritated. 

She couldn’t even eat a decent meal daily because she always had to watch her spending. 

But look at Qi Lin. His car was scratched, but instead of blaming him, his dad transferred 20,000 yuan directly to him and even asked if he needed more. 

For the first time, Lan Yuxi envied Qi Lin for having such a good dad. 

Unlike her father, a police captain, who rarely spent time with her throughout her childhood, he was especially strict.

“Do you want it? My monthly pocket money is too much, and I can’t spend it all.”

Qi Lin shook another stack of bills, tempting Lan Yuxi. 

Looking at the stack of bills, Lan Yuxi swallowed her saliva. 

Who wouldn’t want endless pocket money?! 

However, Lan Yuxi’s principles were still upright. 

She understood Qi Lin’s character more than anyone else. If she used his money, she might get into trouble. 

“Ugh, I don’t want your dirty money.” 

Lan Yuxi arrogantly turned her head and refused him. 

Qi Lin sighed inwardly. It was a pity that this Lan Yuxi still had some principles. 

His plan to corrupt the proud school belle with money had failed. 

“Get in the car.” 

Leaving the 4S store, Qi Lin sat in the passenger seat and then invited Lan Yuxi, who was standing outside.

Lan Yu Xi hesitated momentarily, but eventually carried the small cloth bag and got into the passenger seat.
