Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Choosing a Gift for the Wife

Time drifted by, and in the blink of an eye, it was gone.

By the end of June, the weather in Capital City was extraordinarily hot.

Before she knew it, a month had passed since Chen Qi arrived in Capital City, and it had been a very fulfilling month for her.

In the daytime, she had to learn finance, in the afternoon she had to go to work at her elder brother's Tengsheng headquarters, and in the evening her sister-in-law would teach her to drive.

The results after a month were good; she could now skillfully operate the Audi A4.

The driving school exams also went smoothly to subject four; as long as she passed this last test, she could get her driver's license immediately.

Subject four was relatively simple for her, and the examination date was already set.

Thinking she would get her driver's license in less than a week made her very happy.

One afternoon, Song Yanxi secretly pulled her aside.

"Little Qi, come out with me for a bit."

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter? You're being all secretive."

"In two days, it will be your brother's thirtieth birthday, don't you know?"

"Of course, I know. Doesn't he always just eat a bowl of longevity noodles at home with you?"

"This year is different."

In the past, Chen Pingsheng never made a big deal out of his birthday, at most he would call Zhang Tao and a few others.

In the evening, they would have a few bottles of beer and skewers at the barbecue stand downstairs.

This year, Song Yanxi actually wanted to give him a big gift.

She handed the Audi's keys to Chen Qi, "Starting today, this car is yours. Once you get your license, we'll go through the transfer procedures."

"There's no need to rush to give me a car!"

"If I don't give you the car first, I won't feel right giving your brother his present."

Song Yanxi took her to the parking garage downstairs, then drove off in a white Panamera, leaving the office behind in a trail of smoke.

"Sister-in-law, a thirtieth birthday is a big deal for my brother. What kind of gift are you thinking of giving him?"

Chen Qi was very curious, especially since it seemed like her brother was lacking nothing at the moment.

He had a car and was living in a small villa—a truly comfortable life.

He had all the clothes, belts, and watches he needed, and was not missing anything.

She couldn't think of anything that could greatly interest her brother.

"Hee hee," Song Yanxi smiled slyly. "Men have three loves: making money, beautiful women,

"Since your brother has me, a beautiful, delicate wife, he would naturally not love any other woman. That leaves only the third love."

"A car?" Chen Qi thought of something, mainly because she often heard people talk about it.

"That's right, all men love cars and your brother is no exception."

Song Yanxi explained, "I really like the Panamera, and your brother noticed, so he gave you the Audi and let me use this one exclusively. You see, he hasn't had the car for long and already ends up with his wife commandeering it. I've even seen him secretly looking at cars on his phone these past few days."

When it came to buying a car for her brother, Chen Qi was very excited. She turned to her sister-in-law and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you going to give my brother a new car?"

"Yes, that's the only thing that will truly make him happy."

"Do you know what he likes?"

"Of course, he's been looking at SUVs, and he likes the really big ones."

Song Yanxi had been paying attention in secret. "I already have a target in mind, I brought you here to have a look for reference."

Chen Qi didn't know what her target was until they arrived at the 4S shop.

What reference could she give; was she even qualified to do so?

The first one they looked at was the Range Rover 3.0L V6 in an extended version.

As far as the car's appearance, it was stunning at first sight.

No woman could refuse a man driving a Range Rover.

From those words alone, one could sense its boundless dominance.

The salesperson provided a very detailed introduction, given that both women arrived in a Panamera.

This car was in no way inferior to a Range Rover.

If they could afford a Panamera, they could easily afford a Range Rover too.

The salesperson said, "We have a black model available for immediate delivery, and the on-the-road price is 1.68 million, which is the best offer."

Song Yanxi was quite pleased with the car, she knew her man would definitely like it.

However, she had also done a lot of research online and many said that, although Range Rovers are good-looking, their quality is somewhat lacking compared to the BBA cars in the same price range.

It was still worth looking at others.

Luxury car dealerships are generally located together for a couple of reasons: one to make it convenient for customers to choose,

and two to attract customers more effectively, much like the fashion stores arranged in a row.

She had three target vehicles in mind, but the first was just to take a look at the Land Rover Range Rover.

The second was the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Song Yanxi herself didn't think this car looked as nice as the Land Rover Range Rover.

In terms of price, the G350 would cost about the same as the Range Rover she had just viewed.

The starting price for the G500 was around two million.

That really wasn't cheap.

As for the higher-tier AMG G63, the on-the-road price would be three million.

This was a bit over budget.

But that didn't mean it was unaffordable.

She currently had over seven million in her account, and the investment in the cold storage warehouse in Shijingshan was entirely funded by Chen Pingsheng's own money.

She didn't need to worry about that.

This meant there was no financial pressure whatsoever, plus by the end of the month, the profits from her three stores would add up to nearly seven million.

After dividends, she would earn at least two million.

Her little treasury would surge once again, and if she didn't spend the money on her husband, where else could it go?

So, she was also paying close attention secretly.

She would make a comprehensive comparison after viewing the third car.

"Sister-in-law, does my brother really need such a nice car?"

Having a Panamera at home was already quite luxurious; if they were to buy a G-Class or Range Rover, she couldn't even begin to imagine the shocked expressions of the villagers on the New Year return.

"Now my brother is a small business owner after all. How can he go out to talk business without a nice car?"

The third vehicle was also one she adored, and the reason for looking at this one was a bit selfish.

Of course, Song Yanxi was confident her man would absolutely love it too.

Because nobody could resist the convertible version of the Bentley Continental—men who love the G-Class love Bentley even more.

The white 4.0T, V8 convertible model's on-the-road price was three and a half million.

To tell the truth, if it was for herself, she would definitely be reluctant to buy it.

But for Chen Pingsheng, it was different; her man funneled all the earnings from the fruit shop into her account.

He even entrusted her with all the future profits from the fruit shop, so as his wife, she couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

Generously buying him the beloved sports car would fulfill her man's dream of owning one.

Song Yanxi felt this was something a wife ought to do.

"Don't tell me, sister-in-law, you're going to buy this Bentley sports car for my brother?"

Chen Qi swallowed hard. Her brother's unpretentious demeanor didn't seem to match up with driving a Bentley sports car.

"What do you think, isn't it beautiful?"

Needless to say, if anyone came to woo her in a Bentley Continental, her guard would be down by seventy or eighty percent the moment they stepped out of the car.

Chen Qi said, "Sister-in-law, we don't need to buy something this nice, do we? I think the Land Rover Range Rover is pretty good. Compared to this, it's like a beggar's version at over a million already."

Comparison is the thief of joy, the same goes for cars.

Chen Qi admitted to her superficiality; she had previously thought the Range Rover was too expensive.

In front of a Bentley, what does it even count for?

The salesperson who knew how to talk took the cue at once, saying:

"The Land Rover Range Rover is definitely a good car too, but the Bentley Continental is what can truly be called a man's ultimate dream car, the dream luxury car."

She had already figured out that these two women weren't here to buy a car for themselves.

They were here to pick a gift for their husband.

They mentioned the Range Rover as if it were nothing special.

With just a little push, naturally, even the Bentley Continental worth over three million could be sold.

Song Yanxi bit her lip, visibly hesitating.

Buying a Range Rover worth over a million wasn't a pressure for her, but over three million was a different story.

It was seriously beyond expectation.

But it really did look beautiful.

That's the one, a thirtieth birthday present for her man.

To fulfill her man's dream of owning a sports car.

As if afraid she would change her mind, Song Yanxi directly swiped her card.

After choosing the options, the on-the-road price went up to three million eight hundred thousand, also in white.

She even picked out a car cover specifically for the purpose of presenting it on his birthday.
