Lily said, “Gerald, you need to stay away from him, in case this loser infects you.”

“Hahaha! I’ve long since stopped seeing him. Do you think that this loser deserves to be in my circle?” Gerald smiled playfully. “He’s the kind of guy who washes women’s underwear at home!”

Just then, two of the car dealership’s female sales assistants came over.

One of the women looked to be in her thirties with good looks, while the other looked like a girl in her early twenties who might have just graduated from college.

“Hello, Sir. Are you here looking for a car?” Cynthia Hall glanced at Clarence and Gerald and instantly knew which was the wealthy one, and which was a country bumpkin.

Gerald wore a Rolex on his wrist, which was worth at least five hundred thousand. He also wore an expensive bespoke suit, starting at around fifty thousand dollars.

Cynthia almost rolled her eyes when she saw Clarence, who was wearing cheap off-the-rack clothes.

‘How dare he come looking for a car at a luxury car dealership?’

What gave Clarence the courage, Celine Dion?

“Yes, show me around. I’m looking for a car for about three million dollars,” Gerald said proudly.

“Okay, Sir. I’ll show you some cars that fit the bill.” Cynthia’s eyes lit up at the fact that she could get fifty thousand in commissions alone for a three million car.

“Cynthia, this gentleman’s still standing here. What about him?” The college graduate hesitated and tugged at the hem of Cynthia’s clothes.

Cynthia turned her head around and maliciously glared at Jane Young. “Jane, as a salesperson, it’s important to read customers’ expressions and learn their spending power by observing their attire.”

“Do you think someone can afford to buy a luxury car when they’re wearing cheap off-the-rack clothes? Stop fooling around!”

“Jane, you’re new, so you should just watch and learn!”

“But… the gentleman really seems to want to buy a car. What if he can afford it?” Jane was a little hesitant. “I read in a magazine that there are some rich people who like to keep a low profile and wear simple clothes…”

“Have you been reading too much Reader’s Digest, AARP Magazine, or Time Magazine? Do you think such rich people seriously exist in real life?” Cynthia’s face was cold.

Amused, Gerald said to Jane, “Girl, you probably don’t know who he is. He’s my classmate. We grew up together in an orphanage!

“As for now, yeah, he’s doing great. He’s a loser son-in-law living at his in-law’s house, and his monthly allowance is a grand three thousand dollars!”

“What? Three thousand dollars!?” Cynthia wanted to swear.

“How dare he look for Lamborghinis and Ferraris with three thousand dollars? Is he out of his mind?

“With that level of income, you wouldn’t even be able to afford a Ferrari tire… even if you didn’t eat or drink for a year!”

Cynthia almost rolled her eyes so hard you could only see the whites of her eyeballs.

“Alright, show me the cars.” Gerald shook his head.

“Okay. This way, Sir.” Cynthia’s attitude had undergone a 180-degree change.

“Cynthia, this gentleman…”

“If you want to entertain him so much, entertain him yourself!” Cynthia did not look back.

Jane looked awkward. “I’m sorry, Sir. Let me show you around. It doesn’t matter if you don’t buy now, you can have a look. Just because you don’t buy now doesn’t mean you can’t afford it later.”

“You’re right.” Clarence smiled faintly.

He found Jane pretty nice. At least she was not a snob like Cynthia.

“What’s your name, Sir?” Jane looked up at Clarence with an innocent look on her face.

“Clarence Howard.”

“Uh. Hello Mr. Howard, I’m Jane Young, a new salesperson. I’ve been here for less than a month and haven’t sold a single car yet.

“Cynthia said I’m professionally incompetent. If you don’t mind, shall I show you some cars? I could use some practice.” Jane stuck out her tongue at Clarence.

“Okay.” Clarence was all right with it.

Jane showed Clarence a variety of luxury cars.

“This Lamborghini is this year’s latest model. It’s a two-seater with a maximum of 500 horsepower. It can accelerate to 100 kilometers in just 2.6 seconds. If you step on the gas pedal, you can feel a big pushback.

“This Ferrari is even better. It has a maximum of 600 horsepower and a 100-meter acceleration in 2.4 seconds…

“This Rolls-Royce is beautiful. The body’s stylish and classy. It’s good-looking and has a 100-meter acceleration in 2.47 seconds. It’s not as good as the prior two, but the best thing about it is that it’s stable. Your coffee won’t ever spill, even if you race a hundred and twenty yards with it in the car…”

Jane introduced the cars to Clarence carefully.

She showed him a dozen luxury cars in a row, until Clarence had some basic understanding of them.

“Alright, I’ll take this Ferrari.” Clarence had made up his mind.

“Huh?” Jane was stunned.

Clarence laughed. “What are you waiting for? Go prepare the contract.”

“Mr. Howard, are you sure? This Ferrari costs 9.6 million.” Jane’s pretty face was red with surprise and excitement.

If Clarence did pay 9.6 million for the Ferrari, she would get a 10% commission, which was close to one hundred thousand dollars.

She had the money for her mother’s medical bills now!

“Yes.” Clarence nodded slightly.

Jane excitedly took Clarence to the lounge and brought the contract over.

Gerald and the others came over too. He had bought a low-level sports car for 3.2 million. It might not be as good as what other rich people had, but it was fancy enough to fool ordinary people.

“Why are you still here?” Cynthia frowned when she saw Clarence.

Jane explained, “Cynthia, Mr. Howard here has bought the 9.6 million Ferrari.”

“What did you say?”

Gerald, Lily, and Cynthia were dumbfounded.
