Chapter 20: The Real Surprise
Chapter 20: The Real SurpriseBefore the cars arrived, a strong fragrance of fresh roses filled the air. Everyone turned to look and saw two sleek, black Audi A6L vehicles decorated with vibrant red roses pulling up to the scene.Jennifer Zhao’s heart sank. Her eyebrows creased as she stared at the floral display. Was this the "bigger surprise" Elon Mu had been referring to?"Alfred Lucas, let’s just go," Jennifer Zhao said, frowning as she tried to walk away.Alfred Lucas gently held her back. "It’s alright. I prepared a surprise for you."Elon Mu scoffed loudly."Surprise? Do not embarrass yourself. Let me guess, you want to pretend those two cars are your surprise? Don’t make me laugh."He glanced at the decorated Audis again, his eyes showing a flicker of concern. But the idea that Alfred Lucas could be the owner never crossed his mind."Is that so?" Alfred Lucas said calmly. "Then let’s see who’s really a joke."As if on cue, the two Audi A6L sedans parked neatly by the curb."Yo
Chapter 19: The Arrival That Shut Them Up
Chapter 19: The Arrival That Shut Them UpMany customers had tried negotiating special conditions, but they often walked away without buying once they couldn’t get what they wanted.Today, however, a man had shown up in a beat-up old Camelia and said he wanted to buy two cars for eight hundred thousand.Eighty percent chance he was bluffing.The other saleswomen at the dealership watched the situation unfold with amusement. Most were waiting for the moment the so-called customer would embarrass himself. After all, if this man was serious, he would have to place a deposit—possibly even pay in full.It was peak season. Most of the vehicles were already in stock."I’m not joking," Alfred Lucas said calmly."Okay, okay. Please take a look at our financial plans. I’d suggest going with a two-year loan. This structure is more–""All," Alfred interrupted.His answer caused more heads to turn.There were certainly people who could buy two cars in full, but very few spoke so casually about it.

Chapter 18: The Car Purchase That Silenced EveryoneAfter dinner, Alfred Lucas excused himself, saying he had something to take care of, and parted ways with Jennifer Zhao.Jennifer returned to her new office, while Alfred drove straight to the car dealership after dropping her off.Earlier that day, outside Jennifer’s company, she had been embarrassed and disgusted by the group of men because of her car which was a beat-up, nearly scrap-worthy Camelia. If a sleek Mercedes Benz, BMW, or Audi had been parked there instead, they would never have dared to behave that way.Besides, both Jennifer Zhao’s company and Alfred’s own growing company needed a decent car to match their image. Originally, when Alfred drafted his business plan, buying a car was not part of the budget. But since the eight hundred thousand dollars borrowed in Jennifer’s name had not been used for her company, Alfred decided it could be allocated for something practical.This was not embezzlement after all it was for w
Chapter 17: The Anniversary Surprise
Chapter 17: The Anniversary Surprise"Hello, was it successful?""It's done.""Good. Make sure every other things are settled. Don’t let there be any mistakes since this is also a special event.""Absolutely!"Alfred Lucas ended the call."Are you busy?" Jennifer Zhao asked. She was in a good mood, now that Alfred Lucas had started working. Hearing him on the phone made her assume he was handling something work-related."Nothing. Let’s eat first." Alfred Lucas replied, and the two of them sat at their table.After placing their order, they began to wait.Not long after, Jennifer Zhao noticed a girl walking by holding a large bouquet of roses. Nearby, someone played soft violin music at a table not far from theirs.The French atmosphere was romantic and elegant. It was the kind of experience she had only seen in movies and dream of experiencing as a young teenage girl expose to love.Jennifer glanced at Alfred Lucas. Her heart was warm, but deep down, there was a tinge of disappointmen
Chapter 16: The Cold Truth
Chapter 16: The Cold Truth"Really? I’ve got something to handle," Mr. Feng said casually.As he walked past Alfred Lucas, he gave him a quick wink and stepped out, leaving Alfred and Jennifer Zhao alone in the wide, clean office space. Jennifer glanced around again. The building was clearly new, with modern facilities and top-quality furnishings.This kind of space must cost a fortune."Alfred Lucas… did you borrow the eight hundred thousand from Mr. Feng?" she asked. Her tone was a little hesitant."Yes," Alfred replied calmly.Jennifer paused, her lips parting slightly. There was a flicker of apology in her eyes.If the money really came from Mr. Feng, she had no reason to doubt it. But last night, she had assumed it was shady money, maybe even from a loan shark. She had jumped to the worst conclusion."Alfred, I... yesterday I—""You believed Elon Mu."Alfred's voice came out cold. It was sharp and direct, like he had no energy left to pretend.Jennifer looked down and tucked her
Chapter 15: I Work for Mr. Feng
Chapter 15: I Work for Mr. FengThe way Alfred Lucas threw money in the follower’s face made the man furious. Just then, the security guard came out from the building."What’s going on here?"The guard called out as he approached. But as soon as he noticed Jennifer Zhao standing nearby, he softened. He gave a polite smile.In this office building, not many people had close contact with Jennifer Zhao. But those who had seen her knew she was stunning. The security guards who worked here noticed her every time she passed by. She was unforgettable.The follower stepped up quickly and pointed in Alfred’s direction."Security, look at this guy. He threw money in my face! We were just trying to speak with the car owner. Sure, maybe the car was parked wrong, but that’s no reason for him to come in swinging money like that. This guy’s out of line!"He tried to sound like the victim, as if Alfred had bullied them.The other men nodded, acting like they were the ones being wronged. They hoped th
