The saleswoman said with a grin, "Ma'am, you're right. Sir, if you make me feel comfortable, I'll let you try out whichever car you want. Anyway, I can afford it, okay?"
Lu Chen felt incredibly uncomfortable hearing this. Unable to contain his anger, he straightened his face and threatened to call her boss to teach her a lesson, to show her how to do business and treat customers.
This only emboldened the saleswoman further. She raised a somewhat fawning face and said, "Go ahead and call him! Go ahead! See how my boss handles this. Someone like you, a loser, will have security throw you out right now!"
Lu Chen, after all, was once a wealthy young master. When had he ever been treated like this? He immediately erupted in anger, shouting, "Where's your showroom manager? Come out here! How can you let such an incompetent saleswoman work here? It's outrageous! With such a scumbag, aren't you afraid your auto mall will go bankrupt!"
His shout, subtly imbued with internal energy, was exceptionally loud, echoing throughout the showroom.
Soon, a large, dark-skinned man in a suit strode over, followed by two security guards. Reaching Lu Chen, he gave him a cold stare and said, "My name is Gu Zhide, and I'm the showroom manager. What's going on?"
Before Lu Chen could speak, the saleswoman preemptively accused him, stepping over to Gu Zhide and taking his arm. Her slightly heaving chest lightly brushed against his arm—it was obvious they were having an affair.
She said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Brother Zhide, this guy is going too far! Not only does he not buy a car, but he's also making a racket, hindering this pretty lady from buying one. Pretty lady, don't you think?"
She then looked at the older woman.
Before the woman could speak, the young man nodded, "Yes, that's exactly it! How can your car dealership let such an unscrupulous person in? I reckon he might be scouting the place; watch out, you might get robbed in the middle of the night!"
That's some serious sarcasm!
Lu Chen almost punched him.
The manager, Gu Zhide, patted the saleswoman's hand gently and said in a soft voice, "It's alright, Lulu, you continue with your work and take care of the customers."
Then he glared at Lu Chen and said menacingly, "Sorry, you're not welcome here. Get out immediately!"
Lu Chen was a little surprised: "Is that all? You're kicking out a customer without even asking what happened?"
"With your attitude, are you even a customer? Where did this punk come from, or was he sent by another car dealership to cause trouble? Let me tell you, my eyes are sharp enough to tell you what kind of person you are! If you don't leave, I'll call security to kick you out!" As he spoke, the car showroom manager even revealed a thuggish demeanor.
Lu Chen sighed: "Damn, this is really interesting. What kind of car dealership is this! I don't think it will last long. With scum like you, it'll go bankrupt sooner or later! I don't know what this general manager is good for!"
With that, he turned and left.
He was truly frustrated; buying a car had turned into a nightmare. In the past, if he encountered this situation in Jiaying City, he would have immediately called people to beat these guys up.
Of course, if he were still a rich young master, he wouldn't have to put up with this!
This is called, "A tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs, a dragon stranded in shallow waters is mocked by shrimp."
He hadn't walked a few steps when a sinister voice came from behind: "Damn it, who are you calling a scumbag?"
It was Gu Zhide's voice.
Lu Chen didn't turn around, saying as he walked, "Me? I'm calling this bastard a scumbag!"
"Damn it!" Gu Zhide roared, "Who are you calling a bastard?"
Lu Chen calmly replied, "I'm calling a scumbag! Who do you think I'm talking about?"
Then, Gu Zhide yelled, "You two, go and grab him, take him to the office! I suspect he stole something from here, we need to search him thoroughly!"
Lu Chen was stunned. What the hell! What else is there to steal in this car market besides cars? "Would I stuff a car in my pocket? I'm not Doraemon!"
But he didn't turn around and continued striding forward.
At that moment, on the second-floor corridor of the showroom, two men stood there: Hu Hanwu, the general manager of Fuli Auto City, and Zhuang Keluo, the boss, who held a higher position than the general manager.
The two men had come from the sky passage connecting the office building and the various showrooms.
When Hu Hanwu saw the scene—two security guards lunging at Lu Chen from behind, waving batons—he was terrified. They were beating the boss's man!
He was about to shout to stop them when Zhuang Keluo stopped him.
Zhuang Keluo smiled broadly and said in a low voice, "Old Hu, let me show you what my man is capable of! Hmph, your subordinates are too outrageous. Let my man teach them a lesson, so they won't look down on others anymore!"
As he spoke, Lu Chen could already hear the faint sound of wind behind him.
He suddenly ducked, spread his arms wide to the sides, bent his elbows, and slammed them backward with tremendous force.
Instantly, two screams rang out, and two police batons fell from Lu Chen's sides.
The two security guards, clutching their stomachs, collapsed, groaning in pain.
That one move was clean, crisp, and incredibly powerful and stylish.
The car buyers around gathered to watch, and upon seeing it, they all applauded, shouting "Amazing!"
A tall, thin young foreigner even yelled, "Wow! Bruce Lee!"
Lu Chen smiled broadly and bowed to those around him.
Hu Hanwu on the second floor was also stunned: "Impressive skills!"
Zhuang Keluo said proudly, "Of course! Otherwise, how could I be my husband?"
She was truly proud!
The most bewildered was Gu Zhide. He couldn't believe that his two security guards were so easily defeated the moment they lunged at him. He quickly pulled out his walkie-talkie and shouted, "All security guards, get to the showroom immediately! There's a troublemaker here, he knows a few moves, come over here right now!"
Lu Chen had originally intended to leave, but he was seething with anger. Damn it, I came here to buy a car, I came to patronize your business, and being ignored by the sales staff was bad enough, but you, the showroom manager, are sending security to arrest me?
If I don't show my strength, you'll think I'm a pawn!
Lu Chen turned and strode towards Gu Zhide.
That Gu Zhide seemed to know a thing or two. Seeing Lu Chen approaching, he didn't back down, but charged forward, raising his fist to smash into Lu Chen's face.
However, while those moves might have posed a threat to the old Lu Chen, they were practically useless against him now! With a slight sidestep, Gu Zhide missed his target.
Lu Chen, meanwhile, casually grabbed his arm and twisted it, somehow managing to turn Gu Zhide 180 degrees, so he was facing away from Lu Chen.
Lu Chen chuckled and kicked Gu Zhide in the backside.
Ouch!
Gu Zhide cried out in pain and fell forward, coincidentally crashing into the saleswoman named Lulu, knocking her down. Thus, they ended up in a very suggestive position.
"Tsk tsk!" Lu Chen walked over and said with a grin, "So affectionate, you two. Should everyone move aside so you can get some space? I was wondering why you two are acting like this all the time, right?"
At that moment, a group of security guards rushed into the exhibition hall. Seeing the situation, they brandished their batons and lunged at Lu Chen.
On the second-floor corridor, Hu Hanwu whispered, "Miss, the security guards I hired are all retired soldiers, young and strong, and know a bit of martial arts. I'm afraid with so many women, even your man can't handle it. It's best not to fight."
Zhuang Keluo glanced at him and agreed. "My man is strong, but even a good wolf can't withstand a pack of dogs!" She was about to nod, but it seemed... too late. Lu Chen turned his head, rubbed his thumb on his nose, and then leaped high into the air. Amidst the cheers of the audience, he pounced on the group of vicious security guards.
Strangely enough, the security guards seemed stunned, their movements becoming sluggish, as if they had suddenly sunk into an invisible quagmire, unable to move without slowing down.
Then, Lu Chen pounced on them like a hungry tiger, using absolutely no hands.
Left leg kick followed by another, then a right kick, then a double kick followed by a figure-eight scissor kick, then a groin kick, then a left knee strike, then a right knee strike… whoosh!
Everyone present was stunned. Before they could even react, about a dozen or so security guards had all collapsed, falling like rose petals scattered by a young girl experiencing her first love.
Lu Chen took a deep breath, calming himself down from his slightly dizzy state.
Just now, he had overused his magical abilities again. But there was nothing he could do; these bastards from the car city were too arrogant, and if he didn't teach them a lesson, they'd really become even more disrespectful.
The applause around him erupted again.
The middle-aged woman with the young man was completely stunned. She excitedly rushed to Lu Chen, clasping her hands together in a prayerful gesture, her eyes gleaming with lust. She said, her eyes gleaming, "Young man, you're amazing! You're so good at fighting! You're the man of my dreams! Will you be my bodyguard? I'll give you 30,000 yuan a month, and you'll be my personal bodyguard! You can live with me in a luxury villa, and I'll take you to the brand showroom; you can pick any car under 500,000 yuan!"
She was so generous, as if she hadn't looked down on Lu Chen before.
The young man, upon hearing this, panicked. He quickly followed, stamping his foot again, and grabbed the middle-aged woman's arm, saying in a coquettish voice, "Sister, you can't do this! Don't be fickle! What's so great about him? Is he as handsome as me? Is he as good at serving you as I am? You even want to buy him a 500,000 yuan car! I'm angry!"
Lu Chen shuddered; goosebumps were spreading all over his body. The older woman glared at her young man and snapped, "Go to hell, you useless thing! You always need pills to get me...you know...you know. This young man is so strong, he's better than you even without pills!"
With that, she flung him away, sending him stumbling.
Then, she reached for Lu Chen, saying in a coquettish voice, "Come on, macho man! I'll serve you. I'll buy you a 500,000 yuan car. These cheap cars aren't good enough for you!"
Lu Chen jumped back in fright, but before he could, a pair of soft, delicate hands pulled him away.
The older woman missed her target and almost fell over.
Then, a voice even more coquettish than the older woman's rang out: "A 500,000 yuan car is good enough for my hero? How ridiculous! My hero deserves a car worth over 5 million!"
Lu Chen froze upon hearing the voice; it sounded so familiar! He turned his head and froze. Holy crap, what a coincidence! We met at the train station yesterday, and now we're meeting again at the car market today.
