Chapter 342 - 217: I Want to Be the First to Ride in Your Car

"Mu Xing’s market performance has been on the rise lately, so I made a little money and came to buy a car."

Lin Jiang said with a smile,

"I won’t bother with the pleasantries. Once I pick up the car, I’ll let you have a look inside. Pretty generous of me, right?"

"You just wait. This isn’t over between us!"

With a cold snort, Li Wuyang was the first to leave, the two Zhou brothers following behind him.

Discreetly, Feng Qi shot Lin Jiang a flirtatious glance and left with them.

’It would be amazing to get it on with Brother Jiang in this car. That would be so thrilling.’

Zheng Jianghe wasn’t in a hurry. He looked Lin Jiang up and down.

"The team has a race the day after tomorrow. I’m quite interested to see your skill level. It’s no fun if you’re just some rich guy."

"Then what is fun? Coming to a car show just to look and not buy, basically just to wander around? Is that what you call fun?"

Zheng Jianghe’s expression suddenly changed; Lin Jiang’s retort had almost made him lose his composure.

"Just you wait and see! No matter how good the car is, it all comes down to skill. Otherwise, you’re just going to make a fool of yourself!"

Leaving that threat hanging, Zheng Jianghe also left.

"He has no idea how to act tough, but he tries so hard. What’s the point?"

Just then, Lu Chongyi and the others walked over. They had heard the entire exchange, and their expressions were ones of disbelief.

"Youyou, did your boyfriend just buy the Voice of the Dark Night?" Qian Yiweng asked in astonishment.

"My Brother Jiang bought it. The fact that he dared to let Brother Yi make a bid just shows how confident he was that he could buy this car."

Qin Youyou didn’t bother to hide the smug look on her face, her delighted expression practically bubbling over.

"Buddy, you’re really full of surprises. I thought you were just here to watch the show," Lu Chongyi said.

"Watching is no fun. You’ve got to participate."

"You’re Youyou’s boyfriend, so that makes you one of us in the PRC Team. It wouldn’t be out of line to go flex on those guys from CTC, right?"

"Sure. I’m going to pick up the car first. We can talk about everything else later."

"Let’s go, let’s go. We’ll go with you."

Following Wang Zhenhong, the group went backstage.

There were no outsiders here, only staff members.

Since Lin Jiang didn’t want any publicity, he didn’t allow any reporters or media in and simplified the process.

After signing the contract, transferring the payment, and taking a photo with the staff, the car pickup process was complete.

The mileage on a supercar is very important, and driving it away now would be inconvenient, so Lin Jiang had them deliver it to Century Triumph.

After arranging the subsequent procedures, they left the convention center and returned to Century Triumph to receive the car.

When they learned that Lin Jiang lived at Century Triumph and had even bought a 168 million yuan house, the group gained a much clearer understanding of his financial power.

The property management was handled by the Qin Family, so when the container truck arrived, it drove directly into the complex, avoiding any onlookers.

Although Lin Jiang appeared calm on the surface, his heart was a sea of turmoil.

He was different from people like Lu Chongyi.

They had been rich since childhood and had seen all sorts of supercars. Even though they loved this car, they could still remain composed.

He, on the other hand, had only started living a rich man’s life after receiving Tongzi. Mentally, he still needed some time to adjust.

Lin Jiang got into the car first to get a feel for it. The sheer aura of badassery was overwhelming.

’If I drove this thing out and left my number around, my WeChat friend list would probably be full in a single day.’

After Lin Jiang got out, the others took turns getting in to experience it, all giving it extremely high praise.

"Buddy, after you’ve had your fun with it, could you let me take it for a spin?"

Lu Chongyi was very polite, his tone completely consultative.

"But don’t worry, I definitely won’t drive it on the street. I’ll find a place to take it on a track, so there won’t be any scratches or dings."

"No problem, but I have one condition."

"Name it."

"I invested in an app. Could your club create an account on it? You should know what I mean."

"What kind of app is it?"

Lin Jiang opened the Super Player app and showed Lu Chongyi the content inside. A distinct glimmer appeared in the latter’s eyes.

"The content is this risqué?"

"How can you call it risqué? This is art."

"We have a race the day after tomorrow. We can do a livestream on it to help you drive traffic," Lu Chongyi said.

"But we can’t make it exclusive. Our main platform is still TikTok."

"No problem. Just give us the relevant authorization," Lin Jiang said.

"You can have your team’s operations manager contact my company. Just mention my name. Let’s try to make this event a success."

"Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for someone to handle it as soon as I get back," Lu Chongyi said.

"We have a race the day after tomorrow. Are you free? Come join us."

"Alright. If your club doesn’t have any restrictions, count me in."

Lin Jiang knew very well that Lu Chongyi was willing to help entirely because of the car.

million yuan.

A one-of-a-kind, limited edition for the entire world.

These selling points were more than enough to boost the PRC Team’s traffic.

He couldn’t be stingy when it came to reciprocating.

"Haha, that’s what I was waiting to hear."

Lu Chongyi wasn’t very good at hiding his feelings; his emotions were written all over his face.

"I’ve invited a lot of people, and the media will be there too. It’ll be even more of a spectacle if you bring the car."

"The only condition is, you have to be confident you’ll win," Lin Jiang said with a smile.

"You’re making such a big show of it. If something goes wrong, you’ll suffer a double loss."

"You have to trust in the PRC Team’s strength. We lost the last race because I wasn’t participating, and it was just an exhibition match anyway. This time is different. All of our main drivers are back. Beating them won’t be a problem."

"Sounds solid."

"Alright, we’ll head back for now. I’ll work out a time with Youyou, and we can all grab a meal together and hang out sometime."

"Sounds good."

After that, Lin Jiang and Lu Chongyi exchanged contact information and added each other as friends.

After they left, an excited Qin Youyou got back into the car and started taking selfies with her phone.

Meanwhile, Lin Jiang’s phone started buzzing nonstop.

Qin Yangyang: "Youyou said you bought a 126 million yuan supercar?"

Lin Jiang: "Yeah, they just delivered it."

After replying, Lin Jiang took a picture of the car and sent it to her.

Qin Yangyang: "This car is gorgeous. Take me for a drive tonight. I want to be the first one to ride in it."

For Qin Yangyang, the drive itself wasn’t important; it was a way of staking her claim.

Lin Jiang: "But from the looks of it right now, the first person to ride in this car might be Youyou. You’ll have to deal with her."

Qin Yangyang: "I don’t care. You deal with her. I just want to be the first one to ride in this car."

Lin Jiang: "OK, what time do you get off work?"

Qin Yangyang: "I’ll leave a little early today. Let’s say six."

Qin Yangyang: "Let’s go to dinner first, and after that, we can see a movie. How does that sound?"

Lin Jiang: "No problem."

After replying to Qin Yangyang, Lin Jiang opened his chat with Zhao Fangfei.

Zhao Fangfei: "Brother Jiang, Qiqi said you bought a supercar. Can you show me what it looks like?"

In the same fashion, Lin Jiang replied with a photo.

Lin Jiang: "I’m a bit busy these next few days. I’ll take you for a drive in a couple of days."

Zhao Fangfei: "Thank you, darling. Love you~"

To handle a ’green tea’ like Zhao Fangfei, you had to get straight to the point and know what she wanted.

Feng Qi: "Brother Jiang, you’re so awesome! Zhou Sui and Li Wuyang must be dying of anger. (snickering)"

Lin Jiang: "When I have time, I’ll take you for a round in the car."

Feng Qi: "I’m very flexible... I think I can handle it."

Feng Qi: [Image]

’That’s a position I don’t think I’ve actually tried before,’ Lin Jiang thought, taking a look.

Lin Jiang: "We’ll have to try it sometime."

Feng Qi: "Mhm."

Lin Jiang didn’t reply again. Qin Youyou got out of the car.

"Brother Jiang, when will you have time to take me for a drive?"

Qin Youyou was someone who loved excitement and had a strong curiosity for all things new. She couldn’t wait to go for a drive.

"I’m afraid I can’t today. I have other things to take care of this afternoon."

Lin Jiang made up an excuse. "How about in a few days? Give me a call, and we’ll set a time."

"Then..."

Qin Youyou paused for a moment. "How about the day after tomorrow? There’s a race, so we can go together."

’The things I bought should arrive by the day after tomorrow. Brother Jiang will definitely like them!’
