Chapter 17 Choosing a Car
Chapter 17 Choosing a Car
"Huh??"
Chen Jiang truly never expected that after inheriting the estate, there would be such a follow-up.
This isn't Uncle Yan at all; this is practically a godfather! If he didn't have any shame, he might have already knelt down and bowed to be hailed as his godfather.
Da da da————
There was a gentle knock on the door, and then the secretary who had led Chen Jiang upstairs pushed the door open, swayed over to Yan Wenshuo's side, and slightly bent down to hand him a set of keys: "Mr. Yan, these are the keys to your house."
Yan Wenshuo took the key and swiped it in front of Chen Jiang:
"You can keep this key. Go to the property management office and register it yourself. I'll have someone take care of the transfer procedures and send them to you."
"And..." Yan Wenshuo turned to his secretary and pointed at Chen Jiang: "Go down and take President Chen to our spare garage to choose a car. Just let him drive it away and put it in my name."
After saying that, he added to Chen Jiang:
"These cars are all registered under the company's name, so it's not easy to transfer them to you. Besides, the transfer process is complicated. Just drive them for now, and if you're not comfortable with them, come back and exchange them. You can contact Xiaoya then."
Xiaoya?
Chen Jiang was taken aback, then saw the voluptuous secretary nod slightly at him:
"Yes, Mr. Chen, let's add each other's contact information. You can contact me if you need anything in the future."
"Oh, sure, sure."
Chen Jiang quickly took out his phone and asked the other party for his phone number and WeChat ID.
Yan Wenshuo, sitting behind his desk, glanced at his watch and then spoke directly:
"Alright, Xiao Chen, we've covered most of the details. I have a lot of things to take care of right now. We can talk properly after I've finished these things. Go and choose a car with Xiao Ya, and then just leave."
"Uncle Yan, I'll be going now."
Chen Jiang stood up, greeted them, and followed the secretary named Xiaoya out of the office.
The moment the door closed, he exhaled deeply, feeling as if he had entered a completely different world.
Shaking his head and rubbing his face, he finally cheered himself up and followed his secretary, Xiaoya, into the elevator leading to the underground parking lot.
"Mr. Chen, please follow me this way. That's the parking area for the employees. I've already sent the parking attendant over. Once you've chosen a car, I'll hand you the keys, and you can drive away immediately."
Xiaoya walked ahead, talking as she went, her high heels making a crisp sound on the cement floor.
At this moment, Chen Jiang didn't pay much attention to her good figure. Instead, he was somewhat shocked by the scene around him—there were at least forty or fifty luxury cars parked here, including most of the luxury models on the market, none of which were priced below a million at a glance, and there were even Ferrari sports cars.
However, there are still more business-oriented models compared to other vehicles.
"These are all unused vehicles parked in the garage. Mr. Chen, are there any you'd like to see?"
"There must be forty or fifty of these cars... Is your group, no, our group, that rich? These cars must be worth a lot of money, right?" Chen Jiang was very puzzled.
"How can I explain this to you...? Actually, not all of these cars were purchased by us. They became group assets through various channels. Some were purchased for business purposes and were replaced by newer models shortly afterward. And some were purchased by our group for..."
"Hmm... I mean those more flashy car models."
Xiaoya smiled slightly and didn't continue speaking.
However, Chen Jiang already understood:
"I see. If I choose this one, will it cause trouble for Uncle Yan?"
Xiaoya gently shook her head:
"Of course not. Vehicles that can be stored here will eventually be disposed of, since there's not much room for them here anyway."
"Get rid of it..."
It was obvious that there was something more to those words, but Chen Jiang didn't really have much say in it. Mining groups of this size have a wide range of businesses, including not only heavy industries like mining, but also real estate, tourism, hotels, supermarkets, and so on. He decided to observe more and say less.
"Then... I'll choose this one."
Chen Jiang didn't hesitate for too long. There were too many cars in the garage, and actually, there weren't many new models.
Chen Jiang didn't like the old-fashioned Mercedes-Benz S-Class; it seemed too business-like and didn't suit his aesthetic. BMW and Audi also seemed somewhat mediocre in this garage, so Chen Jiang's eyes immediately fell on the Aston Martin Vanquish he had chosen.
This car is Aston Martin's flagship model, which is not very common in China, but the price of a new car is around four million... But since he got it for free, the price didn't matter to him.
Chen Jiang chose this car not only because it caught his eye, but also because its appearance was more understated compared to the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta and Lamborghini Aventador in his garage.
"OK......"
Upon seeing that Chen Jiang had made his choice, Secretary Xiaoya quickly handed him a key and a high-value gas card, saying, "Here's your key and this gas card. Just contact me whenever you run out of gas card."
Chen Jiang took the keys, looked at the gas card in his hand, and didn't know what to say.
Just a few days ago, living in a mansion and driving a luxury car was just a dream, but now not only have they all come true, but I don't even have to pay for gas myself... This world is truly amazing.
With a slight sigh in his heart, Chen Jiang looked up at Xiaoya:
"Okay... is there anything else I need to do here?"
Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening, took two steps back, and wore a sweet smile on her face:
"Of course there's nothing wrong. Mr. Chen, if you're leaving, please follow me this way."
Chen Jiang nodded, turned around and got into the car. He studied it for about two minutes before starting the engine, carefully pressing the accelerator, and driving out of the parking space.
Xiaoya showed no impatience whatsoever, always with a smile on her face, waiting patiently to the side. Even after Chen Jiang drove the car out, she insisted on walking to the garage exit.
Chen Jiang was a little embarrassed:
"Um, Xiaoya, you don't need to keep driving me. I can drive myself."
Xiaoya didn't insist too much, she just smiled and nodded slightly:
"Alright then, I won't see you off any further."
"But if anything happens to you, please remember to call me."
He paused slightly, then lowered his voice a little:
"Things related to daily life are also fine~~"
"What?"
Chen Jiang was taken aback. He wanted to ask more questions, but found that the other person had already turned and left, without any intention of turning back.
If he hadn't been certain that his hearing was fine, he would have suspected that he was hallucinating.
After a few seconds of confusion, Chen Jiang sighed, glanced back at the steering wheel in his hands, stepped on the gas, and the V12 engine roared a few times before the sports car slowly disappeared from the road.
