Chapter 98 Rui Tiantian, the Internet Celebrity Who Became a Sensation on YY in Her Previous Life
The automatic door slid open silently.
A strong and refreshing gust of cold air instantly enveloped Ye Fan, dispelling the sweltering heat of the August afternoon in Jinling.
The exhibition hall was unusually quiet, so spacious that you could even hear the echo of high heels hitting the floor.
Several sales consultants, dressed in matching black fitted suits and exuding a capable air, were scattered around, some focused on their work at their computers, others conversing in hushed tones.
Top-tier supercars, often costing millions, naturally create an invisible barrier, keeping most curious onlookers out and subtly elevating the brand's prestige.
He knew that many luxury goods companies did the same thing.
A clear and pleasant voice rang out:
"Hello sir, welcome to the Ferrari Centre. Do you have an appointment?"
A tall, elegantly made-up young woman walked towards us.
The well-tailored black suit skirt perfectly accentuated her curves, while black stockings encased her long, straight legs. On her feet were a pair of classic Christian Louboutin red-soled high heels, each step exuding a professional rhythm.
"Rui Tiantian?"
Ye Fan's eyes flickered slightly.
Although she was much more youthful than the glamorous image he remembered from the live stream, he would never mistake her for someone with those captivating peach blossom eyes and her iconic oval face!
The woman in front of me is none other than Rui Tiantian, the internet celebrity who became a sensation on YY in my previous life.
How did she end up here?
A hint of surprise flashed through Ye Fan's mind, but he quickly understood.
Before becoming YY's top live streamer "Rui Tiantian", she was just an ordinary girl in the vast sea of people. She had worked as a print model and may have also gained experience in luxury car showrooms.
The rumors and gossip about her from his past life flashed through Ye Fan's mind.
"gentlemen?"
Seeing that Ye Fan's gaze lingered on her face for a while, Rui Tiantian maintained her professional smile and patiently asked again.
Ye Fan snapped out of his daze, his expression returning to normal:
"No appointment."
Rui Tiantian smiled, pursing her lips:
"Okay, may I ask your surname, sir?"
"My surname is Ye."
Rui Tiantian bowed slightly, her smile appropriate.
"Okay, Mr. Ye, I am Xie Wanning, a sales consultant at this store. You can call me Wanning."
Ye Fan thought to himself: So, in my past life, the online name Rui Tiantian had absolutely nothing to do with her real name!
She guided him naturally:
"This must be your first time visiting our center. Please move to the reception area, and I'll give you a detailed introduction to the models currently on sale. You can take your time..."
After Xie Wanning finished speaking, she was about to lead Ye Fan towards the reception area.
Ye Fan raised his hand to interrupt her, his tone calm:
"No need. Just take me to the options section; I've already decided which car I want."
Xie Wanning stopped abruptly, turned to look at Ye Fan, and a hint of unbelievable surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes:
"Excuse me, you mean... you want to order a car directly?"
She had only been with Ferrari for a little over a month, but she knew all too well how difficult it was to close a deal for such a top-tier luxury car. The saying "no business for three years, but enough to live off for three years" was no exaggeration.
The guest in front of me was excessively young and dressed in seemingly ordinary clothes.
Is it really not just a spur-of-the-moment decision?
Ye Fan raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone carrying a hint of undeniable amusement:
"What? Your store doesn't support customers placing orders directly?"
"sure."
Xie Wanning felt as if she had been hit by a giant lucky bag.
She quickly flashed an even warmer smile, leaned forward slightly, and gestured invitingly:
"Mr. Ye, this way please. I'll take you to the fitting room for a detailed discussion!"
Her heart started racing involuntarily.
Ye Fan nodded and followed Xie Wanning into the selection room.
Stepping into the customization room, which was filled with a sense of technology and luxury, Ye Fan looked around with great interest.
The large screen displays a variety of dazzling body colors, interior materials, and wheel styles.
Although he later achieved financial freedom in his previous life, he was busy with his career and rarely stepped into the exclusive space of such top brands.
now.
He didn't hide his "newbie" status, and even touched the carbon fiber trim sample on the display stand with a bit of curiosity.
Ye Fan clicked his tongue in amazement. He didn't care about showing weakness in front of Xie Wan Ning, as this was his first time in such a place.
After all, only those who can't afford to buy something are afraid of revealing their financial situation to the salesperson.
When you have enough money, showing weakness is no longer considered weakness, but rather genuine and down-to-earth.
There is a saying: "Great scholars will naturally debate the classics for me."
Xie Wanning waited patiently to the side. After Ye Fan had looked around for a while, she took out a tablet computer with the prancing horse logo and respectfully asked:
"Mr. Ye, which Ferrari model are you interested in? The 458 Italia? The F12 Berlinetta? Or...?"
Ye Fan turned around, looking directly at her calmly, and clearly uttered two words:
LaFerrari
Ye Fan knew this car was a top-of-the-line supercar. With the optional extras and various luxury car taxes, the final price would be about half a small fortune.
Now that I have money, of course I want to get my hands on this big toy.
He didn't care what people said about his nouveau riche mentality. "Damn it, I've been given a second chance at life. All I want is to be comfortable. Why should I care about anything else?"
Although everyone on Douyin (TikTok) seemed to own a Ferrari in his previous life, he knew that the number of Ferraris sold in the entire Chinese region each year was extremely limited.
Not to mention models like the LaFerrari.
Xie Wanning's smile froze instantly, then was replaced by deep surprise and a hint of embarrassment:
"La...Lafa?"
Ye Fan asked:
"Is there a problem?"
Xie Wanning explained:
"Mr. Ye, I'm very sorry, but as our brand's top-of-the-line limited-edition flagship supercar, the purchase of the LaFerrari... has very strict eligibility requirements."
She chose her words carefully.
Ye Fan's tone remained calm:
"The proof of funds is 5 million and the driver has no poor driving skills, right?"
Xie Wanning nodded and said:
"Yes, but there are some slight differences from what you know."
"To qualify to purchase a LaFerrari, applicants must be long-time Ferrari customers, meaning they must have owned at least two limited-edition Ferraris or five flagship production Ferraris. After meeting this prerequisite, a verification of funds is required, typically involving proof of investable assets of at least 2500 million RMB, to be eligible to enter the queue and wait for the factory to allocate an allocation."
She finished speaking in one breath, nervously observing Ye Fan's reaction.
Ye Fan frowned. He realized he didn't know enough about it. In his past life, TikTok had ruined people.
He looked at Xie Wanning:
"If I want to buy a LaFerrari, are there any other options besides these conditions?"
"this...."
After a moment of contemplation, Xie Wan Ning confirmed:
Are you really going to order the LaFerrari?
"certainly."
Ye Fan's answer was concise and powerful, filled with unquestionable confidence.
"Your verification of funds should be fine, right?"
Xie Wanning was still a little worried, so she asked again cautiously.
"Of course, no problem."
Ye Fan smiled faintly, not caring.
Xie Wan Ning looked into his deep and calm eyes, and the unwavering certainty in them shook her to her core.
She no longer hesitated:
"Please wait a moment, I need to consult my supervisor about this!"
After saying that, she walked quickly out of the fitting room, her pace even faster than when she came in.
This situation was clearly beyond the capabilities of a newcomer like her who had only recently joined the company.
A short while later.
The door to the selection room was pushed open.
Xie Wanning led in a middle-aged man with glasses and a calm and capable demeanor.
The man, with a professional and enthusiastic smile on his face, extended his hand to Ye Fan:
"Hello Mr. Ye! It's a great honor to meet you! I'm Xu Cheng, the sales manager of this store."
Xu Cheng glanced at Xie Wanning beside him, then turned to Ye Fan, his attitude respectful yet professional:
"Wan Ning told me that you have a special fondness for LaFerrari, but it hasn't yet met our specific requirements?"
Xu Cheng then said:
"Proof of funds is required before purchasing a car. This is not because we do not trust you, but simply a standard procedure."
Seeing Xu Cheng's attitude, Ye Fan knew there was a chance.
If there were no other way, all this effort wouldn't have been wasted.
