[Chapter 41]
Both of them were very depressed as they headed for the first round of maintenance for his Audi A6.
Victor was very proud of his car but the Ferrari driven by Gerald's friend made him feel a little embarrassed. Both of them had a tacit understanding and felt that they had to find out the truth behind Gerald's friend.
After that, at the car maintenance shop, as Victor was waiting for the maintenance to be done, he started a conversation with the boss because he wanted to gain some admiration and respect from these people who were looking at him with admiration in their eyes at this time.
At this time, the person who was responsible for maintaining Victor's vehicle said, "Sir, I think that it's very wise of you to choose a high-end Audi as your personal car. Our Audi cars are unlike any of the other high-end or luxury cars in the market. For instance, a Ferrari sports car only makes people feel as though they are well-respected. Only rich people would invest in those kinds of cars."
"Now, most ordinary wealthy businessmen would focus on cars such as Audi or BMW instead."
"But, don't you think that it is much better to be driving a Ferrari? You'd definitely gain much more attention and face if you are driving a Ferrari!" Whitney could not help but say in a sour manner at this time.
"Hahaha. Beauty, you should also take note of who's using or driving the luxury car, then. Let's not talk about anything else. Let's just talk about Ferrari sports cars. These are absolute luxury cars costing at least a few hundred thousands of dollars each. Owning a Ferrari is equivalent to branding yourself as a rich and wealthy man."
"Just a few days ago, they proposed a set of marketing plans in order to stimulate the development of the junior and middle-class. As long as you're willing to pay a deposit of seven thousand dollars, you'll
be assigned a designated driver to drive you around in their most luxurious Ferraris! Moreover, you'd also be given the opportunity to test drive the car yourself!"
"I'm glad that the really wealthy people such as yourself aren't influenced by such vehicles or offers, Mr. Wright. On the contrary, there are many other young people nowadays who aren't down to earth and are only filled with vanity. Even though their families don't actually own any big businesses and despite some of these people facing their own financial difficulties, they're more than willing to pay the deposit just to satisfy their own vanity and have an opportunity to test drive the Ferrari."
As soon as they heard the man's words, Whitney and Victor exchanged glances with one another.
It seemed as though a big rock in their hearts had been overturned.
"Sir, do you mean to say that as long as you're willing to pay seven thousand dollars, someone will drive you around so you can experience what it feels like to ride in one of those Ferrari sports cars?" Whitney asked with a shocked expression on her face.
"Yes, but according to insider news, I heard that this promotion will be cancelled in a few days' time. This is because the promotion seems to be rather useless and many people have criticized Ferrari, saying that this is too flashy!"
"Ahh! I finally understand now!"
Whitney heaved a huge sigh of relief.
It turned out that in an effort to satisfy his own vanity, Gerald actually spent seven thousand dollars just to experience what it felt like to be driven around in a Ferrari. Whitney could not believe that Gerald was actually such a disgusting person!
At this time, Whitney was speculating that Gerald was not trying to avoid getting seen by any students but instead, he had intentionally stopped at the entrance so that she would see him getting off the Ferrari!
This person was really disgusting!
Pfft!
"Ah-choo!"
Gerald had just gotten out of the driving test registration center on campus and he started sneezing as soon as he walked out after signing up for the driving test.
This driving school directly collaborated with the campus and the campus rented out part of the venue for them to run a driving school.
Gerald had already decided to buy a car since he only had a few more days until the end of the month.
He had to spend the three million dollars on his Universal Global Supreme Shopper's Card.
However, how could he possibly consider buying a car if he did not own a driver's license?
In the past, Gerald did not even have money to sign up for the driving test to obtain a driver's license. He finally had enough money to do so now!
Gerald was very excited and full of expectations at this time.
But…
He really did not know why he was sneezing so much lately. Was someone cursing at him?
Hmm…
Gerald decided to head back to the dormitory to rest. At this time, his cell phone suddenly rang. It was a phone call from his roommate, Harper.
"What's up, Harper?"
"Gerald, where are you? Are you coming back to the dormitory? Alice has suggested that we should all get together and go out. So, should we go? Anyway, Hayley was the one who asked Alice to invite us to join them…"
As Gerald listened to Harper's words, he felt that Harper was no longer as masculine as he used to be ever since he fell in love with Hayley.
However, he knew that he should not judge Harper like that. After all, when he was in love, he was also acting the same way.
He would always be thinking of Xavia, and he would always be considering her feelings first no matter what he did. When Xavia was happy, she was happy. When Xavia was sad, he was sad. There was no reason to explain why he felt this way.
Perhaps, that was what it was like to love someone.
"Oh! I don't think I'll be joining you guys. After all, I'm sure Alice wouldn't want to see me!" Gerald quickly replied.
