Chapter 242

C242 – Go to the Auto Show

“Does Eastsea have any interesting places to visit?”

After pondering for a moment, Su Ming inquired.

Loong Tianyu gave no immediate response.

“I’m looking for something to do and thought I might explore a bit.”

Su Ming shared, wearing a smile.

“Certainly!”

Upon hearing this, Loong Tianyu energetically affirmed, slapping his chest as a guarantee.

Though he may not excel in many areas, Loong Tianyu boasted a thorough knowledge of Eastsea’s leisure spots.

“Mr. Su, with noon approaching, would you be interested in the Auto Show later today?”

Loong Tianyu proposed with enthusiasm.

“Mr. Su, the Auto Show features a wide range of fantastic vehicles.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Su. I’m quite knowledgeable about cars and can offer you a detailed introduction.”

“I have connections with the organizer, Mr. Su. Should you decide to purchase, I can secure you a discount.”The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

“Would you care to check it out, Mr. Su?”

Loong Tianyu looked eagerly expectant.

Su Ming was momentarily at a loss for words.

He already owned an extensive collection of vehicles and wasn’t in the market for more.

Yet, he found it hard to decline given Loong Tianyu’s excitement.

“Sure.”

Eventually, Su Ming consented.

After all, his intent was merely to get out and about; the destination was inconsequential.

He considered that the Auto Show might present some novel vehicles.

He believed in the appeal of having an abundance of cars, viewing these “giant steel toys” as a universal male aspiration.

“Great!”

Loong Tianyu’s joy was palpable upon receiving confirmation.

It turned out he would have friends attending the Auto Show, offering an opportunity to introduce them to Su Ming.

Driving there, Loong Tianyu at the wheel with Su Ming as his passenger, they soon reached the Auto Show.

The venue was impressively large.

It spanned three levels.

The crowd was sizeable, creating a vibrant atmosphere.

The sight of the man with yellow-dyed hair brightened Loong Tianyu’s eyes, prompting him to approach and greet the man eagerly.

“Tianyu?”

The blonde-haired man paused briefly before inquiring, “I rang you this morning inviting you over. You mentioned being tied up with a crucial task and couldn’t make it. What brings you here at noon?”

Loong Tianyu, with a smile, replied, “Indeed, I was preoccupied with a significant task earlier, but now I’m here for something even more important.”

After speaking, Loong Tianyu turned to introduce Su Ming, who stood behind him, to the blonde man as his new acquaintance, Mr. Su, and referred to the man as his long-time friend, Wang Haiyang, suggesting Su Ming address him as Old Wang.

Wang Haiyang appeared momentarily taken aback.

He observed Su Ming, then Loong Tianyu, and offered Su Ming a warm handshake.

“Hello, did you come to purchase a vehicle?”

Wang Haiyang inquired, smiling.

Loong Tianyu was on the verge of responding.

Su Ming coughed from behind.

Loong Tianyu instantly grasped the hint.

Su Ming was subtly indicating they should downplay their true intentions.

“I recall my grandfather’s health issue you addressed. To express my gratitude, I’ve accompanied him to the Auto Show for a casual visit.”

Wang Haiyang’s interest waned upon hearing this, recognizing Su Ming merely as a doctor who had likely employed some traditional remedy to treat Elder Loong’s condition.

He presumed Su Ming, unfamiliar with high society, was leveraging Loong Tianyu’s influence to attend the Auto Show.

Realizing he was unfamiliar with Su Ming among the local elite, Wang Haiyang concluded Su Ming wasn’t a notable figure.

“Tianyu, this car seems impressive. Would your dad consider purchasing it?”

Wang Haiyang asked, all smiles.

“I wouldn’t dare suggest it!”

Loong Tianyu quickly dismissed the idea, revealing his fear not of Elder Loong but of his father.

His father’s mere gaze was enough to make him tremble, a testament to familial authority.

“My father views cars purely as a means of transport, seeing no need for extravagance.”

Loong Tianyu expressed his resignation, noting his modest vehicle compared to his peers’.

His car, an Audi valued at over 300,000 yuan, paled in comparison to the million-yuan vehicles of his associates.

In his circle, Loong Tianyu earned the nickname “car moocher” for his habit of borrowing luxury cars.

Though he had driven various high-end vehicles, none were his own; they were all lent to him.

“Tianyu!”

“Why are you here?”

Approaching Loong Tianyu were two individuals, both youthful and seemingly of affluent background.

Loong Tianyu took the opportunity to introduce Su Ming to them.

Named Lee Xiaocheng and Huang Tao, they quickly mirrored Wang Haiyang’s disinterest upon learning of Su Ming’s profession, deeming a doctor beneath their consideration.
