"Miss, I have asked all the stores through a second-tier dealer channel. The H2 is out of production, and there is no stock available. Currently, the only vehicles suitable for off-road modification available in stock are the F-150 Raptor, T-Rex, and Range Rover."

After negotiating with the store manager at the Hummer shop, Lin Bingyun returned to the car, looked at Lin Ying, and reported the current situation, offering her some options.

The Hummer shop does have vehicles available, but they are all electric cars or city SUVs, not the hardcore off-road vehicles that Lin Ying wanted to buy. Those hardcore vehicles often don't sell well and tie up cash flow, while those who truly want them don't mind waiting a few months.

However, Lin Ying didn't have that kind of spare time. Her trip to Chang'an was squeezed into her schedule, and she needed a vehicle that was available immediately.

Lin Bingyun also combed through all the dealerships in Chang'an through a second-tier channel. The only models that could be immediately modified for off-road were the F-150 Raptor, T-Rex, and Range Rover.

Other models either required waiting or, due to the halt in imports, certain parts were hard to find.

Lin Ying looked towards Master Fox.

In the meeting room, Ansheng, without needing to worry about much, mused with a contemplative face, "Mr. Lu Xun once said, 'Afraid my brother will suffer, yet also afraid he might drive a Range Rover courtesy of a generous sister...'

"I choose the Black Knight Raptor! Without a cover!"

Having farmed in the past, Ansheng had some research into various off-road vehicles and wasn't unfamiliar with the cars mentioned by Lin Bingyun.

If only driven in the city, Ansheng said no matter what, he needed to carry a big basket home.

But if he were really to head into the mountains, no basket could convince him; he feared jostling during off-roading might trigger some sensor and bring up a fault code.

That stuff is too modernized, triggering fault codes that limit power at the drop of a hat.

Ansheng didn't want to have to carry a bulky gadget up and down mountains when he ventured inside. Discarding it wasn't an option, those configurations could easily cost three to four million!

To ensure he wasn't taken for a ride, Ansheng decisively chose the Raptor reputed to be America's strongest agricultural vehicle.

The American-made products were rough.

But in a certain sense, because they are rough, they were extraordinarily durable, just like the people with steel-like resolve.

"Let's go with the Black Knight version of the Raptor!" Getting Master Fox's approval, Lin Ying said to Lin Bingyun.

"Alright, I'll arrange it right away." Lin Bingyun nodded lightly, preparing to start the off-road modification work.

"Housekeeper Lin is amazing..." Looking at Lin Bingyun ordering off-road modification parts over the phone, Ansheng remarked to Lin Ying.

From what he had seen so far, as long as Lin Bingyun was involved, things were generally taken care of.

Whether buying a house, being able to double as a lawyer and a designer, or acting as a real estate agent, practically requisitioning a flat on the spot in the Phoenix City District.

Buying a car, she could find dealers to negotiate with, now directly starting car modifications, and off-road technical terms rolled off her tongue as she articulated standards and requirements.

If Ansheng remembered correctly, Lin Ying once mentioned Lin Bingyun's strengths were management and financial management.

"Housekeeper Lin's annual salary could easily buy two suites in the Phoenix City skyscraper." Regarding Lin Bingyun, Lin Ying didn't express any words of praise, just calmly stated what salary she deserved right now.

This position of Chief Steward is not for just anyone.

Lin Bingyun is considered someone who inherited the family business, as her grandfather did it when he was alive, her father though retired, still helps Grandmaster Lin manage some affairs.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, Lin Bingyun's daughter should also continue in the position of Chief Steward.

But, that should be a very long time later.

...…

After leaving the shop, Lin Ying announced the end of today's schedule and let He Ying go back to rest. Playing had indeed been too tiring, and they had to return to the hotel to rest.

"Well... alright then! See you tomorrow morning. I'll go back immediately to optimize tomorrow's schedule and send it for your review before 10:30 tonight."

He Ying smiled and bid Lin Ying farewell, preparing to return home and start planning tomorrow's schedule.

Lin's itinerary was very sudden, giving He Ying no time to arrange schedules. Each day's schedule was planned based on appointments and Lin's intention; only then could routes be planned and necessary briefings arranged.

"Real-time location sharing has been sent."

Watching He Ying drive away, Lin Ying looked at the real-time location shared on WeChat.

"Master Fox has already gotten into the car. In a moment, we'll follow along, prepared to assist from outside at any time..."

...

"In terms of comfort under the car, a fuel vehicle should rightfully be the first choice."

"Electric cars are now so bad, filling the undercarriage with protective plates, leaving no space at all."

Hidden under the SUV, Ansheng hummed a tune as he followed He Ying home: "Let's see if the smooth talker's tough talk is stronger, or if the glue I specifically brought from Jiule City sticks better."

"Ansheng's favorite is patching up the lies of cunning merchants."

Humming a little tune, Ansheng had already begun planning how to deal with those unscrupulous goods who deceived the elderly using information disparity once he found out their location.

There are a thousand and one ways to make money; if all else fails, just fly across the strait to shoot videos!

As long as you're in good health, each session is at least a thousand, and they even give you a monthly salary.

Selling health products would be nothing, but now they're using spiritual particles' information disparity to scam people.

While driving, He Ying had no idea there was a mischievously chuckling little fox hiding underneath her car.

He Ying drove out of Dayan District, heading straight home to the neighboring district, ready to have a good talk with her mother.

Buying health products is fine as long as they're not from some shady operation.

But buying health products to the point of having no money left for food is over the top!

He Ying parked her car outside the old district's employee housing and walked home.

"Mom! I'm back!"

He Ying unlocked the door with her key and called into the kitchen from where the smell of food wafted.

"Huh? How do you have time to come back today? Weren't you supposed to have an important group to lead?"

He Ying's mother, rolling up her apron and wiping her hands on it, asked out of curiosity as He Ying returned home before six o'clock.

"The clients got tired of playing, so they returned to rest at the hotel early."

He Ying sat on the couch in the living room, casually responded, and then spoke with a serious expression:

"Let's not talk about my work first. Today I've come back not only to visit you but more importantly, to educate the elderly lady on her mindset!"

"Comrade Ma! Your mindset needs serious improvement!"

Seeing her daughter's stern expression, Ma Cuifeng seemed to remember something, and said a bit guiltily:

"How dare you speak to your mother like this? I'm not other confused old ladies..."

"Professor Ge's medicine is truly effective. Would a dignified vice president of Xinxing Agricultural Science College come all the way here to deceive a helpless old lady like me?"

"Oh?"

Ansheng, perched on the balcony, was taken aback when hearing the conversation inside.

The vice president of Xinxing Agricultural Science College...

Wasn't that the department-level big shot Wang Qiqi mentioned?

Why would such high-ranking officials be interested in He Ying's mom's small amount of money? The research funds they allocate are in the millions, if not tens of millions.
