Chapter 213: Chapter 173: Causing Trouble

Inside Wansheng Square in Qingyun County!

Gao Yue and Li Xiao were shopping together at the mall.

They had made plans with Xu Wu for today. She was going to rush over from Jiangzhou City to finalize the purchase of a house for her parents.

But because she was so busy with work, after finalizing the purchase, she needed Gao Yue and Li Xiao to buy all the necessary household items. Only then would Xu Wu go back to her rural hometown to bring her parents over.

"Ah Yue, Miss Xu is so swamped with work these days. It seems like she doesn’t even have a moment to breathe!"

Gao Yue laughed at Li Xiao’s grumbling. "Well, just think about how big her business is now!"

Indeed, and it hadn’t even been that long.

Commercial real estate, new energy vehicles, and an Intelligent Research and Development Center!

With three business divisions, the staffing structure probably wasn’t even fully established yet. How could a general manager like her possibly have any free time?

"Seriously, though, she really knows how to make moves. Buying the Jiangzhou Wansheng Square was one thing. After all, that mall is already well-established—it’s a goose that lays golden eggs."

"But I really don’t get her investment in new energy vehicles. At this stage, the window of opportunity has long passed. It’s a red ocean now."

"Jumping in at a time like this, she’s completely surrounded by enemies. The risk is just too great!"

Gao Yue laughed. "Don’t you worry yourself over nothing. Miss Xu is so smart. When have you ever seen her act rashly?"

"Just look at all the projects she’s invested in. Every single one is a high-quality project, and she’s even helped Chen Xiao pull in a lot of business!"

Li Xiao pursed her lips. "Chen Xiao must have done something amazing in his past eight lives to have found Miss Xu!"

The Wansheng Square in Qingyun County was the Wansheng Group’s first venture into a county-level city nationwide, and it was also the only heavyweight, asset-owned county-level square in Hanjiang Province.

Therefore, the Wansheng Group had poured a disproportionate amount of resources into this project in the early stages. Currently, this location was considered one of Wansheng Group’s better stores in Hanjiang Province.

Of course, it was a county town, after all. With a limited population base, no matter how good it was, it couldn’t compare to the top stores in Jiangzhou City.

Many high-end brands were also unwilling to expand into county towns, which meant the mall’s brand mix wasn’t particularly good.

Gao Yue and Li Xiao were both high-earners now. Although the mall had all sorts of clothing, in terms of quality and class, it was all beneath them.

Including their various subsidies, their monthly incomes were in the high tens of thousands. In a small county town like this, many salaried workers only earned a few thousand a month, with the better-paid ones making less than ten thousand.

This sense of superiority gave them an air of looking down on everyone else.

As the two wandered aimlessly, Li Xiao suddenly said, "Ah Yue, look! There’s a Feichi Auto store up ahead!"

Gao Yue shot her a look. "You just love to stir up trouble, don’t you?"

Since Ding Yong now ran a 4S car dealership, Gao Yue paid more attention to car-related shows. Naturally, she had also watched last night’s interview with Duan Jie, the CEO of Feichi Auto.

Duan Jie had poked fun at Junxing Auto. They didn’t know if Xu Gang was angry about it, but Xu Wu was definitely not happy.

"Come on, let’s go in and have a look!"

Li Xiao’s family drove a BMW 5-series. In the past, she wouldn’t have been interested in these kinds of cars.

But ever since going car shopping with Xu Wu, and with Ding Yong now running the Hongmeng Intelligent Selection Car dealership, Gao Yue was constantly talking her ear off about them. Now, Li Xiao was gradually starting to pay attention to new energy vehicles herself.

It was now quite common for new energy vehicle brands to open stores in malls. And for the malls, these brands were big spenders who could afford the high rent.

Their rent in the malls was generally 50% higher than that of some retail brands.

For a brand like Feichi Auto, the store had very few customers. Considering they sold less than 7,000 cars a month nationwide, you could imagine the average sales volume per store.

The showroom displayed two sedans and one SUV. That was the entirety of Feichi Auto’s product line.

When the two women entered, a salesperson came forward to greet them. "Are you here to look at cars?"

Li Xiao waved a dismissive hand. "We’re just looking."

The two of them pulled open a car door, and Li Xiao immediately frowned. "This interior is so ugly!"

The salesperson standing nearby quickly added, "It’s the kind of look that grows on you."

Heh!

Gao Yue sat down to get a feel for it and said, "The seats are so hard they hurt my butt!"

The salesperson glanced at her perky backside and thought, ’With that much padding, you can still feel it?’

Li Xiao grunted in agreement. "They call this a new energy vehicle? It looks like they just swapped the combustion engine for a battery and didn’t change anything else. Who would buy this thing?"

’What a way to talk,’ the salesperson thought, on the verge of retorting.

He felt like these two weren’t here to look at cars, but to cause trouble.

Gao Yue said, "You’re absolutely right. It feels like they just took the shell of a gasoline car, stuck a battery in it, and called it a day. It’s so half-assed!"

The salesperson couldn’t hold back any longer. He stepped forward and said, "Ladies, you seem to have some misconceptions about Feichi’s cars. Allow me to give you an introduction."

Li Xiao waved her hand again. "No need. We would never buy such a low-end car, so let’s not waste your time."

’Holy shit,’ he thought. ’It’s not about wasting your time, you’re insulting my job!’

If they hadn’t been two beautiful women, the salesperson would have blown up at them.

Neither of these two was easy to deal with. In the past, when they had nothing better to do, they loved to compete with Xu Wu. But now, Xu Wu was in a completely different league. In her presence, all they could do was tread carefully.

So, they had to keep that sharp-tongued cattiness of theirs boxed up, only to unleash it on others.

Out of sight, out of mind. The salesperson simply ducked to the side and started playing on his phone.

Gao Yue and Li Xiao, still sitting in the car, looked at each other and smiled.

"See? We nearly made the poor handsome guy cry!"

Li Xiao snorted. "I’m just showing him the way out. He should hurry up and find a new job instead of wasting his time here!"
