Reborn in 2000: Reuniting with the School Belle

Chapter 151

Yi Feng and Gu Muxi hurriedly descended the stairs.

Once downstairs, Gu Muxi was about to fetch her bicycle when Yi Feng called out to her.

“Gu Muxi, you plan to ride a bicycle?”

“Not ride a bicycle, do you want to walk?” Gu Muxi retorted.

“Hey, we’re going to buy a car, how will you ride a bicycle back? Trust me, let’s take a taxi this time!” Yi Feng said with a laugh.

“A taxi? But… where can we catch a taxi around here?” Gu Muxi looked puzzled.

Taxis usually operated in the city center and seldom picked up passengers in more remote areas.

“Hey, let’s wait on the main road, trust me, we’ll find one.”

Saying this, Yi Feng pulled her towards the exit of the residential area.

After waiting for more than ten minutes on the main road, they indeed managed to hail a taxi and headed straight to Yuexiu Auto City.

Yuexiu Auto City was the earliest car sales venue in the city, housing various car brand dealers, including importers and, of course, smugglers.

Upon arrival, they noticed not many people were strolling around; the roadside was adorned with various brand logos, mostly Jetta, Fukang, and Santana. These three models were the best-selling cars and were referred to as the “old three” in the 90s.

Despite these three models costing only around 130,000 to 140,000 yuan, they were considered luxury cars at the time.

Because… owning a car worth over a hundred thousand yuan was already a sign of a wealthy household, definitely a small business owner, and it was enough to make others envious.

“Yi Feng, have you decided which car to buy?”

“How about a Jetta? My dad’s friend has one, and it looks so cool!” Gu Muxi said excitedly.

“A Jetta? No, no.” Yi Feng shook his head with a smile.

“How about a Fukang? Ah, that one there, it looks pretty good!” Gu Muxi pointed to a display car in front of a store.

“That won’t do either, it’s average for me, the configuration doesn’t cut it. Hey, how do you know so much?” Yi Feng turned and asked in surprise.

“Ah, I’ve seen them in car magazines, and… aren’t these cars all over the streets?” Gu Muxi explained.

Yi Feng chuckled, “You said it, these ‘old three’ are everywhere. I want something special, something rarer.”

“Then what do you want to buy?” Gu Muxi rolled her eyes at him.

“Given my budget, with 300,000 yuan, I can only afford an Audi 100, no other options.” Yi Feng shrugged helplessly.

The selection of car models was too limited at that time, with only about a dozen models officially on sale. As for smuggled cars, though available, the risk was too high and unnecessary.

For a price around 300,000 yuan, only the Audi 100 was available. For anything higher, one could only consider luxury cars like the Ford Mondeo or Audi A6, which cost around 400,000 yuan.

Being in the early stages of entrepreneurship, Yi Feng wasn’t planning to spend four to five hundred thousand yuan on a car; that would be too expensive.

A car in the 300,000 yuan range was just right, and besides, this car was considered a government vehicle, of administrative level, rare and unique, stable, and impressive.

“Really buying a car for 300,000 yuan? Yi Feng, you’re awesome.” Gu Muxi gave him a thumbs up.

This was genuine admiration, being able to drive such a luxury car at this age, apart from being a second-generation rich, who else could it be?

It’s undeniable, Yi Feng has an extraordinary talent for making money.

“Of course, let’s go straight to the Audi dealership.” Yi Feng smiled.

After browsing around, they finally found a dealership specializing in imported cars, with an Audi 100 displayed at the entrance.

Upon entering, several salespeople saw them but pretended not to notice and walked away.

Yi Feng and Gu Muxi wandered around the store without anyone coming up to greet them.

Presumably, they didn’t look like they were there to buy a car, so the staff didn’t pay much attention and didn’t want to waste their breath.

At that moment, a beautiful saleswoman in uniform approached them.

“Hello, I’m Sun Qian, a sales consultant. Would you like to take a look at the cars? We have a variety of imported luxury cars for you to choose from,” Sun Qian said with a professional smile.

Meanwhile, she scrutinized Yi Feng and Gu Muxi, who were dressed plainly and lacked the air of rich second-generation, appearing more like recent graduates.

Could they really just be here to look around?

However, due to her professional ethics, she still intended to provide attentive service.

“Yes, we’d like to take a look at the Audi 100, could you introduce us?” Yi Feng asked with a smile.

“Certainly, my pleasure. Please follow me; this is our hot-selling luxury car, the Audi 100. It’s considered an administrative level sedan in the country, and many company bosses like this model,” Sun Qian led them to the car.

Gu Muxi’s eyes lit up upon seeing the car, excitedly commenting, “It indeed looks much more impressive than a Jetta!”

Yi Feng shook his head with a smile. He had seen plenty of luxury cars before, easily buying Bentleys, Rolls-Royces, and owning six sports cars; he wasn’t particularly excited.

However, seeing such a classic model also evoked some nostalgic feelings.

He also looked around, checking the tires, paint, interior, etc.

Sun Qian introduced, “Sir, this car embodies the characteristics of a luxury vehicle, with 115 horsepower, 172 Nm of torque, a five-speed manual transmission, powerful performance, and equipped with high-quality velvet seats, walnut interior, electric windows, electric mirrors, central locking, and automatic air conditioning, all of top quality.”

Yi Feng nodded; he had already researched this car’s configuration beforehand, and compared to other cars with manual windows, it indeed qualified as a luxury car.

“I’ll go in and experience it.” Yi Feng said with a smile, opening the door and sitting in the driver’s seat. Although the seats were manually adjustable, it didn’t affect the comfort.

Sun Qian was about to continue her introduction when a middle-aged man pulled her aside.

“Sun Qian, why are you wasting your time on them?”

“This kid can’t afford it, don’t waste your breath on him, there are other customers to attend to,” the middle-aged man said in a dissatisfied tone.

“Uh, brother Liu, but we can’t just ignore the customers, can we?” Sun Qian hesitated before asking.

Liu Qiang glanced at Yi Feng inside the driver’s seat and said, “Ah, it’s fine, they’ll leave on their own after looking around.”

“You, prepare for other customers coming to the store instead of wasting time on them.”

“You’re new here; you still need to practice discerning who can afford this kind of luxury car. Can’t you see?”

“Those are either big bosses, people from the system, or at least rich second-generations. Does this kid look like any of those types? Does he look like he can afford a luxury car?”

“So, don’t waste your time, go and do something else.”
