This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Assets Exceed 10 Million, Chen Mo Is Now an A8

"Thank you, Mr. Chen."

Hearing Chen Mo’s comforting words, the store manager, absurdly, felt a flicker of gratitude.

Damn it, he’d just forked over nearly 7.5 million.

And in the end, the guy actually managed to make him feel grateful.

Who could he even complain to about this?

"How about we sign an agreement?"

The store manager looked at Chen Mo and made a request.

After all, some things couldn’t be trusted to a verbal promise; signing an agreement would be safer.

With an agreement in place, he wouldn’t be held responsible if anything else happened in the future.

"Of course."

Chen Mo naturally had no objections.

He was getting the hang of this.

He had signed one last time at CHANEL and was already a pro at it.

They returned to the store manager’s office, where the manager had someone prepare the agreement in triplicate.

One copy was for Chen Mo, one was for the dealership, and one was for the head office.

The contents of the agreement were simply what they had just discussed.

For instance, refunding Chen Mo’s 1.47 million yuan car payment, paying 3 million yuan in compensation for emotional distress, and 500,000 yuan for the employee’s misconduct.

To prevent Chen Mo from filing a total loss claim, they would also compensate him for the 1.47 million yuan loss.

The dealership had rounded this part up to an even 5 million yuan.

They would also gift Chen Mo a 911 sports car, valued at 2.45 million yuan with all expenses paid.

Not counting the principal, the total compensation was worth 7.45 million yuan!

On the other hand, if Chen Mo breached the contract by leaking today’s events to online platforms...

...or leaking the video...

...he would have to pay a total of 20 million yuan in damages to the brand and the 4S dealership.

"Looks fine."

Chen Mo carefully read through the agreement and signed his name.

The store manager also signed and stamped it with the official company seal.

After signing, the store manager immediately took a photo of the agreement and sent it to someone at the head office.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Chen. The finance department is processing the payment."

The store manager was much more relaxed now. He smiled and offered Chen Mo a cigarette.

"No rush. I trust you, manager."

Chen Mo took the cigarette and smiled faintly.

Hearing this, the store manager put on a polite smile, but inwardly he was grumbling.

’I didn’t see a hint of trust from him earlier.’

DING! DING!

Soon, Chen Mo’s phone chimed twice with new text messages.

"Your debit card account 1234... received a deposit of 1,470,000.00 RMB. Current balance..."

"Your debit card account 1234... received a deposit of 5,000,000.00 RMB. Current balance..."

Chen Mo checked the amounts and saw they were all correct.

Every transaction was clearly listed, down to the last penny.

As expected of an international luxury brand, they had the resources.

And they transferred the money quickly.

"Old Zhao, go personally help Mr. Chen with the purchasing paperwork for that 911. We’ll cover all the costs."

The manager then arranged for someone to handle his car purchase.

"Right away, manager."

Old Zhao immediately went to prepare the documents.

What followed was a repeat of the various procedures he had gone through that morning when picking up his car.

Signing the purchase contract, paying the acquisition tax, buying insurance, getting a temporary license plate, and so on.

Because there was a dedicated person handling it all, the entire process was finished in just half an hour.

Chen Mo checked the 12123 traffic management app and saw the vehicle information. A 911 sports car was now registered under his name.

Interestingly, the Laycan was also still registered under his name.

"Mr. Chen, don’t worry, we’ll figure out how to take care of that car for you later,"

the store manager, who was aware of this, immediately assured Chen Mo.

It was just a matter of not reporting it to insurance, keeping the burnt-out chassis, and then reporting it as destroyed to the DMV to have it deregistered after some time.

The acquisition tax was already paid, so they just needed to register it as scrapped at the DMV.

As long as no insurance claim was filed, the insurance company wouldn’t bother asking how it was destroyed.

In fact, the insurance company would be thrilled not to get a claim, since a total loss on a new car would cost them over a million.

Chen Mo understood they must have a way to handle it and nodded.

With that, the matter was more or less settled.

Before coming here, his bank account only had a few tens of thousands in living expenses and the 1.54 million from selling stocks yesterday.

Now, his bank balance had jumped to over 6.6 million.

Adding the 2.69 million in the stock market, his liquid assets alone were around 9.3 million.

If he included the 911, valued at 2.45 million...

...his total assets had officially crossed the ten-million threshold.

You could call it getting rich overnight.

’I’m an A8 now,’

a wealthy smile spreading across Chen Mo’s face.

Even if it was just A8.1, the early stage of A8, he was still a terrifyingly powerful A8 expert!

Not someone a peak A7 could even dream of messing with!

After his moment of joy, Chen Mo didn’t forget the business at hand.

They had sent the money to his account and handled the car’s paperwork.

It was his turn to show some good faith.

"Manager, the video is on this action camera. I haven’t connected it to the internet or made any backups."

"I’ll just give you the camera directly. I don’t care how you handle the video."

Chen Mo handed the DJI Pocket 3 he had bought for several thousand yuan directly to the manager.

The camera, worth a few thousand, wasn’t the point. The video inside was priceless...

No, scratch that, it was worth tens of millions.

"Mr. Chen, you are too sincere!"

The store manager was stunned for a moment, then quickly took the camera and looked at Chen Mo gratefully.

He hadn’t expected Chen Mo to just give him the camera.

But this completely eliminated the possibility of the video leaking online.

"Mr. Chen, you’re a straightforward man. If you don’t mind, we could be friends. If there’s anything I can help with in the future, don’t hesitate to ask."

The store manager sincerely extended his hand to Chen Mo.

"No problem."

Chen Mo smiled and shook his hand.

There aren’t that many enemies in this world; the adult world is all about interests.

More friends mean more paths.

"Hey, can you set up a delivery ceremony for me?"

Chen Mo suddenly thought of something and grinned. "I want to take a few pictures to post on my Friends Circle."

Buying a sports car and not posting on your Friends Circle to show off?

It’s like wearing silk brocade in the dead of night!

Why else would he have bought an action camera to shoot a vlog if not to post on social media?

"That’s absolutely no problem."

The manager waved his hand dismissively. ’What’s such a small thing?’

Subsequently, the manager arranged a grand delivery ceremony for him.

For the Laycan earlier, they only had two salespeople setting off party poppers.

This time, they arranged for ten people!

All handsome men and beautiful women.

Even the guy in charge of the dealership’s livestreaming and camera work was brought over to take his photos.

The shots were guaranteed to be professional.

"Mr. Chen, this is our brand’s merchandise: a suitcase, umbrella, water bottle, headrest, lumbar support, a mahjong set..."

The manager brought over a pile of gifts in large and small bags for Chen Mo.

They might look like small freebies, but they would be quite expensive to buy.

At the very least, they were worth much more than Chen Mo’s action camera.

After all, they all had the shield logo.

But since Mr. Chen had just given him an action camera worth several thousand, didn’t he have to show some appreciation?

Besides, Chen Mo had helped them put out a fire earlier.

"Officers, these are for you."

The manager also took out two gift bags for Feng Yu and her partner.

"We appreciate the thought, but we can’t accept these. It’s not appropriate."

Feng Yu and her partner both shook their heads and refused.

Everything was printed with the brand’s logo, that highly recognizable shield.

If they were seen walking around with one of those umbrellas, it would create a very bad impression.

"My apologies, I was being thoughtless."

The manager paused, then realized his mistake and quickly apologized.

"Don’t worry. We only handle case details. We won’t leak anything unrelated to the case."

Feng Yu knew what the manager meant; he hoped they wouldn’t talk about what happened today.

But even if the manager hadn’t implied it, they wouldn’t leak case-related information.

That would be a violation of regulations.

"Chen Mo, just sign here. Since the issue between you two has been resolved, we’ll get back to work."

Feng Yu took out a mediation agreement for Chen Mo to sign.

Although Chen Mo had just sent her a direct message on WeChat, it still counted as reporting a crime, so they had responded according to procedure.

Now that the matter was resolved, they still had to follow proper procedure to close it out.

In their line of work, the word "procedure" was paramount.

"Feng Yu, thanks for your help with this. I’ll treat you to a great meal when you’re free."

Chen Mo signed his name and thanked Feng Yu with a smile.

"I’ll be waiting for that great meal, then."

Feng Yu agreed with a beaming smile.

Chen Mo had made a killing this time; of course she wouldn’t refuse an invitation to dinner.

Soon, Feng Yu and her colleague left.

Just as Chen Mo was also preparing to leave, the engineer who had been inspecting the onboard computer of his Laycan arrived.

"Manager, I found the cause of the brake failure!"

The engineer looked frantic. He didn’t even notice Chen Mo was still there as he shouted urgently to the manager.

He had downloaded the data from the onboard computer, so even though the car had burned, it didn’t affect his analysis.

In the data, he had discovered an enormous, absurd, and completely outrageous problem.

"What was it?"

The manager’s expression turned serious as he asked hurriedly.

An incident like this was unforgivable, even if it only happened once.

He certainly didn’t want it to happen at his dealership again.

"The car wasn’t turned off and powered down after it was moved to the delivery area. Head office happened to push a system update, and the car started updating automatically."

"But this system update was faulty. It had a major bug that affected the braking system!"

The engineer quickly explained the cause of the brake failure to the manager.

"What the hell?"

Hearing the reason, the manager was so shocked his eyes nearly popped out of his head.
