Having the financial means to open two luxury car dealerships naturally endowed Lin Shiyou with a formidable network.
Within an hour, the Urus, fitted with temporary plates, had completed all the necessary procedures.
Retrieving the gifts he had purchased for his wife and daughter from Lin Shiyou’s car, Ye Yun calculated the time; Keke would be finishing school soon.
He decided to head to Ruitai Kindergarten first to pick up Keke.
When Keke saw the orange-yellow Urus.
“Wow, Daddy, is this our family’s new little car? It’s so pretty!”
“Mmm~ It’s so soft, as soft as the sofa in our new house.”
“Daddy, the symbol on this steering wheel is a bull. Is this a car that pulls little bulls?”
“Oh dear, Mommy said Keke was born in the Year of the Monkey. Is there a monkey car? Keke wants to ride in a monkey car.”
Children are always curious about novel objects, and the little girl was overjoyed once inside the car.
Ye Yun found himself in a predicament, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
He wondered what the founder of Lamborghini would think if he knew his car’s emblem had led his daughter to call it a bull-pulling car.
“Keke, this isn’t for pulling little bulls. This is a Lamborghini. Daddy promises you, I’ll build you a car that pulls little monkeys in the future. Come on, shall we go pick up Mommy together?” Ye Yun turned to her, his eyes full of affection.
“Mm-hmm~”
Afterward, the two headed towards Kexin Advertising Company.
Meanwhile.
In Wu Xinmin’s office in Jinling.
Looking at the documents presented on his desk, Wu Xinmin’s expression shifted from solemnity to relief, and finally, a hint of doubt flickered across his face.
He murmured to himself.
“Ye Yun… he really has his sights set on Gaohai Village. Teacher, it seems I’ve truly misunderstood you.”
“Ah? A high price of 1.5 million per detached house? Spending so much money, how can he possibly profit? Even if news of the extension of Metro Line 13 gets out, the price per detached house would only be around 2 million. Buying it at triple the market price, isn’t he being foolish?”
Wu Xinmin was utterly perplexed.
Investing a hundred million, he could clearly earn three to four times that amount. Why would he choose to earn only twenty percent?
However, there was one point Wu Xinmin was certain about.
This matter had nothing to do with Old Wang.
To clear the Wang family’s name, Wang Weiguo did not even know about the extension of Metro Line 13.
Yet, Ye Yun had preempted Gaohai Village.
It was clear that the previous incidents were also unrelated to the Wang family. The focus was Ye Yun himself.
But how did Ye Yun know?
Was it calculated like his prediction of Zhang Jinzhong being shot, or was it analyzed?
Wu Xinmin did not know.
He felt it was necessary for him to meet Ye Yun.
With that thought, Wu Xinmin made a phone call.
“Teacher… I apologize for suspecting you. I’m now sure it has nothing to do with you… Also, could you help me arrange a meeting? I’d like to meet that young friend, Ye…”
Ye Yun was unaware that Wu Xinmin had received news of his acquisition of Gaohai Village immediately.
Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn’t have cared.
It was only a matter of time.
Moreover, for the future development of Gancao Medicine, he would still need the help of this leader of the Sujiang committee.
At this moment, he had already picked up Li Mengyao.
“Ye Yun, is this the car you just bought? Didn’t you say you’d buy it in a couple of days? How could you go and buy a car without saying a word? And you bought such a nice car like a Lamborghini! Can you return it? Just return it quickly.”
Li Mengyao was stunned as she got into the car.
Last night, Ye Yun had confided in her, and she knew he possessed hundreds of millions of yuan.
Therefore, while the purchase of a Lamborghini for a few million was unexpected, she knew Ye Yun could afford it.
But Ye Yun had also mentioned starting a business and building factories.
Building factories in Jinling, coupled with the subsequent purchase of raw materials, would each require astronomical sums.
No, no matter what, she had to make Ye Yun return it.
“I didn’t have anything to do this afternoon, so I went to pick up the car. Anyway, we’re going home for dinner tonight, and having a car will be convenient.”
“You also said that we’d need a car at home. We’ve been together for so many years, and I’ve been causing you trouble. Consider this car and house as the happy life I promised you,” Ye Yun said with a smile.
“No! I don’t want it! Don’t spend money like this. Didn’t you also say you were going to invest in starting a factory? Invest all your money into the business first, and worry about other things later. I did say I’d buy a family car, but not such an expensive one! A car worth a hundred to two hundred thousand yuan would suffice!”
“I believe you can give me a happy life in the future. But that has to wait until your career truly takes off. By then, even if you buy me a Rolls-Royce, I wouldn’t refuse. But now, there’s no need, do you understand?”
Li Mengyao shook her head like a rattle drum.
Ye Yun sat in the driver’s seat, feeling a headache coming on.
A Lamborghini worth several million was truly nothing to him, someone who earned two to three hundred million a month.
As Li Mengyao had said, once Gancao Medicine truly got off the ground, buying a Rolls-Royce would be akin to buying cabbage.
However, could he say this?
Ye Yun gave a wry smile.
If he spoke the truth, Li Mengyao would likely think he was still the old Ye Yun who loved to brag.
“Mengyao, please rest assured. I’ve told you I’ve changed. As for investing in factories and starting a business, this amount of money is not a big deal. Besides, this car is comfortable enough, and it happened to be a demo car. Plus, Lin Shiyou’s dealership gave me a huge discount.”
“Look, the Lamborghini’s final price was only over 1.3 million yuan. And think about it, if I’m going to spend hundreds of millions on a factory later, and go out to negotiate business, driving a car worth a hundred to two hundred thousand would be too out of place with my status, wouldn’t it? Also, now that the car is bought and has temporary plates, you can’t possibly ask me to return it, right?” Ye Yun tried to appease her.
Hmm?
Hearing Ye Yun say this, Li Mengyao blushed.
Although she had seen Ye Yun buy a mansion worth hundreds of millions yesterday, her ingrained sense of poverty hadn’t yet adjusted.
She couldn’t accept the purchase of a car worth millions.
However, upon closer consideration, the owner of a company worth hundreds of millions driving a car worth a hundred to two hundred thousand to negotiate business would be at an inherent disadvantage, and it was indeed inappropriate.
“Also, think about it. Lin, Mr. Lin, gave such a huge discount on the Lamborghini Urus. If you really dislike it later and want to sell it, we could sell it at this price and not only avoid a loss but even make a small profit, right?” Ye Yun continued to embellish his point.
Hearing this, Li Mengyao wavered.
At this moment, she genuinely couldn’t find a reason to refute Ye Yun.
After all, Ye Yun had considered every aspect clearly: status, practicality, and price.
Li Mengyao gave a helpless, wry smile.
“Since you’ve put it that way, sigh… it’s bought then. We’re going to my parents’ house tonight. What will happen if my mother and the others see it…”
Sitting in the back seat of the Urus, with her child, Li Mengyao felt as if the past couple of days were a dream.
Just a month ago, their home was bare, and Ye Yun was burdened with high-interest debt.
In less than a month, he was driving a Lamborghini worth millions and living in a mansion worth hundreds of millions.
She had once yearned for such a life, for luxury cars and grand houses.
However, that was merely a desire for superficial display, a pure human craving for expensive things.
Nonetheless, she was also worried.
She worried about what her vampiric parents would think if they saw the car tonight when they returned to her parents’ home.
After all, she had promised her brother she would attend a family dinner tonight!
