Boom!
The words hit Hudson like a clap of thunder, leaving him wide-eyed and stunned.
Ethan had been born into a wealthy family, living a life of luxury and privilege. Whenever he went out, people would flatter and fawn over him, eager to please.
But now, the beautiful CEO of the car dealership was showing no respect for him, all for the sake of this nobody, Alex Joe. It was beyond comprehension.
Luna was equally shocked.
She had worked with Alex for two years and had always seen him as a poor guy scraping by at the bottom. Just last night, he couldn't even afford adecent car, and now he was throwing money around, buying seven top-tier sports cars. It was like seeing a ghost!
Could it be that Alex was actually a super-rich heir, secretly experiencing life at the bottom, and last night he was just testing Luna?
If that were true, then she had really messed up, trading a golden opportunity for nothing and becoming the butt of a joke.
At this moment, Ethan seemed to snap out of his daze, glaring at Sophia with disdain.
"Miss Sophia, I never thought you, who always seemed so aloof, would throw away your professional ethics and team up with your staff to put on a show for this pretty boy?"
Sophia raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean by that?"
"Hmph!" Ethan crossed his arms and pointed at Alex, scolding him.
"This guy is so desperate to show off that he's lost all sense of logic!"
"Even the richest heirs I know only buy two or three supercars a year at most."
"And he buys seven in one go? Who's he trying to fool?"
Ethan shook his head, speaking with conviction.
"Let me tell you, even the wealthiest families in Silk City have limited cash flow. They wouldn't waste so much on luxury items like this."
"So, while your acting is convincing, you clearly don't understand how the upper class operates. You can only fool ordinary people!"
luna's eyes lit up, and she nodded eagerly."Darling, that makes so much sense!"
"I knew it! There's no way Alex Joe could afford supercars."
"Look at yourself in the mirror, Alex!"
"With your means, you couldn't even afford a down payment on a supercar tire in this lifetime!"
Alex scratched the back of his head, looking innocent and speechless.
Even with the car registrations right in front of these two, they still refused to believe him. What else could he do?
Sophia's eyes flashed with anger as she scolded, "Enough!"
"You two are being incredibly rude to our most esteemed customer!""Leave immediately before I call security!"
Ethan sneered, shaking his head. "Caught in your lie, and now you're mad, huh?"
"Fine, let's go!"
"Anyway, I've got money. I can buy a car somewhere else!"
Ethan's eyes were cold, and his expression was stern.
"I'm sorry, but because you offended one of our major clients, World Auto Dealership will impose a sales ban on you within Silk City,"Sophia said, her tone icy.
"If you want to buy a car, you'll have to go out of town and get an out-of-town license plate!"
Ethan's face changed slightly at these words.The owner behind World Auto Dealership was a local powerhouse in Silk City, influential in both legal and illegal circles.
If Sophia reported this to her boss, it was very likely that Hudson and his companion would be blacklisted, making it impossible for them to buy a car locally.
Ethan would have to go out of town to get a new car, and the out-of-town license plate wouldn't allow him on the highways within the city's third ring. It would be a huge inconvenience.
Seeing Ethan being put in his place by the beautiful CEO Emily, Alex Joe couldn't help but laugh heartily, feeling immensely satisfied.
He gave Sophia a thumbs-up and praised, "Miss Sophia, you're amazing! Thumbs up to you!"
Sophia, whose face had been frosty, immediately broke into a radiant smile, her tone becoming incredibly gentle.
"Mr. Alex, you are a valued client whom even I must treat with utmost care. It's my duty!"
"Now, please follow me. Let's go take a look at those seven luxury cars, shall we?"
Ethan and Luna watched in frustration as Alex Joe, accompanied by two beautiful women, walked away triumphantly. They were left standing there, gritting their teeth in anger.
With his hands behind his back, Alex Joe walked into the lavishly decorated VIP room, personally escorted by the beautiful CEO, Sophia.
The room was equipped with comfortable massage chairs, high-end modern white furniture, and a large high-definition screen, making it a place of ultimate luxury."Mr. Alex, Aisha is handling the paperwork. Please wait for about ten minutes, and you'll soon see those supercars," Sophia said as she invited Alex to sit down and began preparing a drink for him.
"Would you like coffee or green tea?"
"I have top-notch South American coffee and several newly launched green teas from our country, including premium Longjing and authentic Dahongpao."
Alex casually replied, "Green tea is fine. I'm not picky."
"Alright!" Sophia's delicate hands moved swiftly as she attentively prepared and served the tea for Berloff.
A faint, almost imperceptible fragrance wafted through the air, making Berloff feel a bit light-headed and restless.
"Hehe, Miss Sophia, what perfume do you usually wear? It smells really nice!"
Sophia was taken aback, her face turning a deep shade of red, clearly embarrassed.
"Mr. Alex, I don't usually wear perfume."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Alex regretted them.
Such a flippant remark could easily earn him a disdainful glare from a pretty female colleague, or worse, an outright scolding. He knew he wouldn't get a friendly response.
Who would have thought that Sophia, with her cold and aloof demeanor, would respond to him so gently?
Tsk tsk!Is this the power of money?
When you have enough wealth and influence, everyone has to show you respect!
This feeling is pretty great!
Soon, the tea was ready.
Alex Joe took a sip of the green tea and exchanged a few pleasantries with Emily.
"By the way, Mr. Alex, you own seven supercars. Have you ever thought about listing a few of them under our World Auto Dealership for rental?"
"You could drive one car each month, and the others could be rented out in rotation."
"This way, you could earn a substantial rental income, and those luxury cars would receive professional maintenance. It's a win-win situation."Hearing this, Alex's eyes lit up.
"That's a great idea!"
After all, even though he now owned seven top-tier supercars, he was still quite broke.
According to the system's rules, he couldn't sell these cars for cash.
Therefore, listing them under World Auto Dealership for rental became the only way to monetize them.
"Miss Sophia, if these cars are rented out, how much could I earn annually?"
Sophia called for a professional rental contract and began explaining each item.
"Mr. Alex, the monthly rental income depends on several factors: the actual value of the vehicle, its popularity in the market, depreciation costs,insurance fees, maintenance fees..."
Sophia, with her confident and eloquent business demeanor, looked incredibly charming as the female CEO.
"Hold on!" Alex Joe rubbed his chin, feeling a headache coming on. "Just tell me roughly, how much can I make each year?"
Sophia smiled warmly. "We guarantee a minimum annual profit of ten million!"
"And if you sign the contract now, you'll get an advance payment of one million!"
One million?
Hahaha...
I'm rich!
