Chapter 967
Insufficient Card Balance
As she spoke, Shen Ruoyao walked excitedly toward the Porsche Cayenne parked next to her!
She didn't actually want to buy the Porsche Cayenne; she just wanted to embarrass Xu Bo'an. Since Xu Bo'an had just said he wanted to buy the Land Rover Sport, she would give him the right of first refusal and see how he would handle it when he couldn't come up with the money.
What's said is said, and that's not something he can just pretend to be; it's not something you can just say and forget!
Shen Ruoyao wanted to teach Xu Bo'an the consequences of showing off.
Xu Bo'an wasn't the type to be slow or indecisive. Seeing that Shen Ruoyao insisted on giving him the right of first refusal, Xu Bo'an didn't stand on ceremony and said to the store manager, "Then let's go and complete the purchase procedures!"
Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, the store manager happily replied, "Alright, please come this way!"
As the store manager was about to leave, he was about to call another salesperson to attend to Shen Ruoyao. However, before the manager could even speak, Shen Ruoyao said to Bai Susu, "Susu, since your friend has decided to buy a car, why don't you go with him? My husband and I are looking at other cars!"
Bai Susu nodded to Shen Ruoyao, and then followed Xu Bo'an to complete the formalities.
While Shen Ruoyao appeared to be intently examining the car, she was actually glancing at Xu Bo'an and Bai Susu's location every now and then, wanting to see how Xu Bo'an would fulfill the boast he had just made.
The reason Shen Ruoyao had such feelings was entirely because of Bai Susu. Because Shen Ruoyao disliked Bai Susu, she also felt disgusted with Xu Bo'an, who was supposedly Bai Susu's friend.
Although Bai Susu said that she and Xu Bo'an were just ordinary friends, Shen Ruoyao felt that the way Bai Susu looked at Xu Bo'an was not like that of an ordinary friend.
Judging from the way Bai Susu looked at Xu Bo'an, Shen Ruoyao deduced that Bai Susu and Xu Bo'an were most likely in a romantic relationship. Since they were in a romantic relationship, Xu Bo'an's embarrassment would be equivalent to Bai Susu's embarrassment.
As expected, Xu Bo'an encountered a small problem. After completing the formalities at the cashier, he handed his bank card to the finance staff who was in charge of collecting payments.
When the finance staff swiped the card on the POS machine, the machine intelligently said "Insufficient balance on card" because there was insufficient balance in the card.
Although the sound wasn't loud, the 4S store was quite noisy, and most people wouldn't hear it or even notice what was happening. However, because Shen Ruoyao had been paying attention to the area, she heard the "insufficient balance" message from the machine immediately.
As expected, Bai Susu was just putting on an act, and Shen Ruoyao was overjoyed.
So what if Bai Susu was incredibly successful in school? Could she be as well-off as I am now? This so-called friend of hers is not only a poor bastard, but also a poor bastard who likes to act all high and mighty. Ha! Shen Ruoyao couldn't help but feel a strong sense of superiority.
When Xu Bo'an heard the machine say "insufficient balance," he was puzzled, but he quickly realized that his recent expenses had been quite high. He had helped company employees buy houses, invested in Qidian Advertising Company, and his mountain project in Jiangcheng, for which he had already invested 100 million yuan in start-up capital, plus other miscellaneous expenses, which had already drained his funds. Xu Bo'an had been so focused on spending money that he hadn't paid attention to his card balance for a long time, so he asked, "Hello, how much money do I have left in my card?"
The finance staff member said, "Hello sir, the remaining amount on your card is 300,080!"
When Xu Bo'an heard that he had so little money left in his card, he was immediately ashamed. Since he got the Bonsai World, he had never worried about money and hadn't paid much attention to his balance. Today, he was actually in the predicament of insufficient funds.
This is simply unbelievable. Xu Bo'an couldn't help but slap his head, speechless at himself. Although he now possessed a great deal of wealth, and the treasures he had discovered in the bonsai world were enough for him to live on for several lifetimes, he hadn't converted those treasures into money, which was why this situation had arisen.
As my business expands, I need more and more funds and financial support. It seems it's time to exchange some of my treasures from my bonsai garden for some money.
As Xu Bo'an was thinking this, Bai Susu, who was standing next to him, saw his expression and assumed that he was a little embarrassed by the situation!
Bai Susu then said to Xu Bo'an, "Bo'an, I have some money here. You can use it to pay the bill first!"
Xu Bo'an said, "No need, how can a grown man like me spend a woman's money!"
At this moment, the store manager, who was standing to the side, was afraid that the deal he had negotiated would be lost, so he quickly reminded Xu Bo'an: "Sir, we can provide interest-free loans for car purchases here. If you are not in a good position right now, you can choose an interest-free loan. The 300,000 in your account is enough for the down payment!"
Since he was already there and had decided to buy a car, and since he could get an interest-free loan, Xu Bo'an decided to take out the loan and buy the car right away. Otherwise, he would have to come back to look at cars again, and if they didn't have any in stock, he would have to make several more trips. Xu Bo'an didn't want to waste so much time on buying a car.
Then Xu Bo'an said to the cashier, "Okay, just process the interest-free loan for me as you said!"
The staff then began to operate a series of procedures.
At this moment, Shen Ruoyao walked over to Xu Bo'an and Bai Susu, pretending to know nothing, and said to Bai Susu and Xu Bo'an, "Susu, didn't your friend want to buy a car? He should have paid the bill long ago, why are you still sitting here!"
After Shen Ruoyao finished speaking, she felt guilty and seemed to realize that something she had said was inappropriate, so she added, "Oh, I didn't mean anything by it. I just thought that after you pay the bill, you could come with me to look at other car models so you can give me some suggestions!"
Bai Susu said to Shen Ruoyao, "Oh, my friend applied for an interest-free loan. The procedures might take a little longer to process. You go and take a look first. We'll come find you after we're done!"
Upon hearing Bai Susu's words, Shen Ruoyao was secretly delighted. She had indeed been right; they really wanted a loan! (End of Chapter)
