In Chu Ge's view, since he and Qin Ruoying were accompanying He Qing, was this really such a big deal?
Just as Chu Ge found it amusing and everyone's attention was focused on the two women in the scene, he suddenly felt someone touch his hand, and then something hard and square was pushed into it.
Looking down, he found a golden card in his hand, and then He Qing leaned in and whispered with a playful voice, "Cousin, don't bother arguing with them. I think that car looks good; why don't you buy it for me?"
Turning to look at He Qing, Chu Ge couldn't help but chuckle. Was she getting addicted to pretending to be his cousin?
However, he also knew that He Qing was doing this to help him save face. When a man and a woman go out together, if the woman ends up paying, people might gossip. Especially when buying something expensive, it would make him look like a freeloader.
Although Chu Ge wasn't too concerned about this sort of thing, He Qing's thoughtfulness was indeed appreciated by him, and he certainly wasn't about to refuse her.
Nonetheless, compared to buying the car, Chu Ge was more concerned about who sent that woman to frame Qin Ruoying and for what purpose.
Just after Chu Ge had discreetly slipped the bank card into his pocket, he heard several calls of "Young Master Zhang."
Glancing over, he saw a well-dressed, impatient-looking young man exuding an aura of indulgence walk in through the crowd, greeted by several staff and security personnel.
Seeing Zhang Jinghui, Chu Ge understood everything immediately. So it was this guy, whom he'd beaten up just a few days ago, causing trouble.
Scoffing inwardly, Chu Ge stood in front of the Ferrari's hood, blocking the spot that should have been scratched. Since that kid wanted to play, he would play along.
At this point, He Qing also noticed Zhang Jinghui and connected him to the recent events, feeling even more disgusted with him.
With his chin held high, full of pride, Zhang Jinghui glanced at the woman he had sent over before. Seeing her looking embarrassed and angry, he couldn't help but admire her. This girl was quite good at acting.
His gaze then fell on He Qing, whom he had been coveting since he first laid eyes on her at Milan Star. As scheming thoughts flooded his mind, he pretended to be thoughtful, furrowing his brows and asking in a deep voice, "What's all the noise? What happened here?"
Seeing Zhang Jinghui pretend not to recognize him, Chu Ge found it amusing. It seemed this kid thought getting a beating was embarrassing and didn't want everyone in the lobby to know. Instead, he wanted to take revenge his way.
"Are you the person in charge here?" Before the woman who had framed Qin Ruoying could speak, Chu Ge spoke up, pretending to be a bit flustered.
Chu Ge's acting skills were top-notch; someone like Zhang Jinghui, a spoiled rich second generation who only knew how to indulge in pleasure, couldn't possibly see through the mischief hidden in his eyes.
Seeing Chu Ge looking so uneasy and still standing in front of the Ferrari 458, Zhang Jinghui became even more complacent, almost bursting into laughter.
It seemed that this nosy kid realized he was in big trouble, yet stubbornly tried to save face, overreaching by trying to stand up for the woman beside him!
"Yes, I'm the person in charge here. What are you doing standing so close to this car? Move away quickly, don't get this car dirty."
"Young Master Zhang, I..."
"Save it for later. I saw someone push you earlier, right? Don't worry, I'll stand up for you."
Before Zhang Jinghui finished speaking, his companion hurriedly opened her mouth, trying to inform him that she had messed up, but was promptly interrupted.
Watching Zhang Jinghui's face full of eagerness to see him humiliated, Chu Ge sneered internally, but his face grew more anxious and hesitant, saying, "I... can't I just stand here for a moment?"
Zhang Jinghui's eyes widened, "I told you to move, so move!"
Then, looking discontentedly at the few security guards who wanted to speak but hesitated, he said, "What are you guys doing? Don't I have to instruct you on every little thing? Is it okay for just anyone to get close to such an expensive car? What if it gets scratched or bumped?"
Seeing Zhang Jinghui like this, preparing to hold Chu Ge accountable, his companion became anxious, stepping quickly to Zhang Jinghui's side, "Young Master Zhang, I..."
But just as she tried to explain, Zhang Jinghui impatiently glared at her and said, "What's wrong with you? I've told you I'll give you an explanation, so just wait!"
Scolded by Zhang Jinghui, two security guards walked over to Chu Ge, intending to pull him away from the Ferrari.
However, before they could act, Chu Ge suddenly chuckled coldly, calmly took a few steps back, revealing the Ferrari's hood. The fear and anxiety on his face vanished in an instant, replaced by a playful expression.
Seeing Chu Ge's expression change, Zhang Jinghui was initially stunned, but thought nothing of it, assuming Chu Ge was covering up and had finally given up, so he spoke up proudly.
"Alright, you! I was wondering why you insisted on standing there, turns out you really did scratch this car! Do you know how much this car costs? Let me tell you, this is a Ferrari 458, worth over five million! A single scratch and it has to be sent back to Italy for repainting, what do you propose we do?"
Seeing that Zhang Jinghui didn't even glance at the Ferrari, Chu Ge immediately found it amusing. This guy is just the king of idiots, isn't he? If you want to make trouble, at least you should have some evidence first, right?
Seeing Chu Ge's amused expression, Zhang Jinghui frowned, "Laughing? You dare laugh? Did a donkey kick your head or something?"
Chu Ge rolled his eyes, shrugged, and quipped, "I've never let you kick it. Besides, can you even lift your leg that high?"
Hearing what Chu Ge said, He Qing burst out laughing, Qin Ruoying laughed too, and all the onlookers joined in. Even some of the staff and security present wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, thinking to themselves if Young Master Zhang could be any more eager.
However, because of Zhang Jinghui's status, the security and staff could only disguise their laughter with coughs.
By this point, anyone who wasn't blind could clearly see the situation for what it was.
Zhang Jinghui's demeanor was so contemptible that it was hard not to despise him.
The only one not laughing, but rather with a crying face, was Zhang Jinghui's friend who messed things up. She sighed, feeling indescribably terrible, and turned to walk out of the crowd.
No need to think, she knew that after Zhang Jinghui made such a fool of himself, he would definitely take it out on her. She probably wouldn't have any more opportunities to profit from this idiot playboy in the future.
Listening to the laughter all around, seeing the disdainful faces, even as much of an idiot as Zhang Jinghui was, he finally realized something was wrong. He frowned, slowly turned his head to look at the Ferrari 458, and his eyes almost popped out.
Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn! How is it possible? Why isn't there a single scratch on it?
Instinctively, Zhang Jinghui exclaimed, "Impossible! How can it be like this?"
Chu Ge snorted, "There should be scratches on that car, right?"
Zhang Jinghui's mind was blank at this point, and hearing Chu Ge's question, he instinctively replied, "Yes!"
His loud and clear "Yes" went straight into everybody's ears, and the laughter became even louder.
Faced with such an idiot, Chu Ge was too lazy to waste more words, shook his head, and left a "Go home and take some idiot pills," then turned to He Qing and Qin Ruoying, saying, "Let's go. If I stay any longer, I'm really afraid I'll catch the stupidity."
The two women looked at Zhang Jinghui's face, which turned alternating shades of green and white, an expression like he had eaten a fly, and amused, shook their heads, then followed Chu Ge.
Even after they left the exhibition center, Qin Ruoying was still laughing uncontrollably, and He Qing, though not laughing as outrageously, had a full smile.
He Qing really didn't expect that coming out to buy a car would let her encounter such an event, and Chu Ge's way of resolving it was still so unique.
Of course, you had to give credit to how accommodating Zhang Jinghui was; messing things up to such an extent is indeed rare.
However, regarding this matter, He Qing didn't just find it amusing. Since Zhang Jinghui was being so unrelenting that she couldn't even buy a car, she naturally didn't mind letting this bothersome fly suffer a bit.
The car exhibition, with Zhang Jinghui's father as the main organizer, had just started in the morning and received a notice from the relevant department by noon that it was to be suspended.
When Zhang Youze, Zhang Jinghui's father, received this notice, he was stunned, thinking that the person calling him was joking.
Even after repeatedly confirming the truth of the matter, he still felt baffled, unable to comprehend why.
He had spent a significant amount of money, created a lot of hype, specially acquired many luxury cars, invited professional models and performance teams, all in order to advertise his enterprise through this car exhibition and earn a substantial profit.
Yet today was just the first day of the exhibition, and it was just halted like that?
As the chairman of a multimillion-dollar group company, Zhang Youze was certainly not the idiot his son was. After his initial surprise, he immediately started investigating the matter.
However, no matter how he checked, all the procedures and paperwork were flawless. When he called some people from the relevant departments, they all spoke ambiguously, unable to provide a clear reason.
Given the current situation, one explanation seemed most likely, someone was out to get him.
Zhang Youze was stunned; he hadn't offended anyone, right?
