This really is a bare-bones model. On the center console, besides a steering wheel and a large screen in the middle, there's absolutely nothing else.

There isn't even an instrument cluster.

Needless to say, it's all integrated into the large screen.

Chen Cheng pursed his lips but still placed the order, paying the full amount with his Alipay.

On one hand, he was now a shareholder of the company; on the other hand, it was a small price to pay to make Jiang Nansun happy for a long time, which was well worth it.

Even if she didn't think of Chen Cheng every time she drove, it would at least be nine times out of ten.

In the living room, Jiang Nansun happily sorted through her shopping bags.

Wang Manni and Zoe came in again carrying more shopping bags; there was so much stuff that the two of them had to make two trips to finish moving it all.

Jiang Nansun raised an eyebrow, "Aunt Qiu, please pour a glass of water for these two beauties."

Wang Manni immediately waved her hand, "It's no trouble, Miss Jiang."

"Please check the items and see if there are any issues."

Jiang Nansun smiled, pointed to the sofa, and said, "It's fine. You two should sit down first. It's such a hot day, and I've made you run an errand. I feel quite bad about it."

"I'll check the items while you have some water and fruit before you leave. It's rush hour now, so leaving later means less traffic."

Wang Manni smiled awkwardly, "You're too kind."

Jiang Nansun enthusiastically pulled the two of them to sit down.

Wang Manni sat down and took a look around the living room; she hadn't dared to look around much earlier while busy moving the goods.

Suddenly, Wang Manni's eyes lit up. This house wasn't the typical luxurious Italian light luxury style, but rather had a very charming Mid-Century Modern vibe?

Actually, Wang Manni wasn't entirely sure what the interior design style was.

She just saw classic Mid-Century Modern furniture pieces in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, like Eames chairs and tulip tables.

But inside the house, she could also see many French arched elements.

Suddenly, Wang Manni froze as she looked at the oil painting hanging on the screen.

Is that Monet's Water Lilies?

How much money is hanging on that wall?

Just then, Chen Cheng walked out of the study and immediately noticed Wang Manni's gaze.

A smile curled at the corners of his mouth, "Stop looking, it's a fake."

"Huh?"

Not only Wang Manni, but Zoe was also stunned.

Chen Cheng smiled, walked over, placed his tablet on the coffee table, and casually plucked a grape from the fruit bowl on the table and popped it into his mouth.

"Although there are over two hundred Water Lilies paintings, very few circulate on the market."

"Last year, 'Haystacks' sold for 110 million USD, not to mention Monet's even more famous Water Lilies series; their value would only be higher."

As he spoke, Chen Cheng complained, "If I had that kind of money, I'd rather buy graphics cards."

Hearing this, Jiang Nansun looked up and smiled exasperatedly, "Nini, don't mind him; he's been obsessed with buying graphics cards lately."

"The painting on the wall is a copy I made as a housewarming gift for him."

Wang Manni's eyes lit up, "Miss Jiang, you paint really well."

Being complimented, Jiang Nansun's lips immediately curled into a smile, "It's just a decoration; it's good enough to fool laypeople without any painting foundation."

She turned her head and glanced at Chen Cheng, who was teasing the cat in the corner of the living room, "In his words, it's 'fake at first glance'."

"That's still impressive; I can't even draw a straight line."

As she spoke, Wang Manni's gaze swept toward Chen Cheng, "Mr. Chen keeps cats?"

"Oh, the cats? They're stray cats that ran into the yard and had a litter, so I just kept them."

Jiang Nansun chatted casually with Wang Manni while checking the items, with Zoe occasionally chiming in.

Before long, Jiang Nansun finished checking everything.

Wang Manni was very tactful, "Miss Jiang, since there are no issues, we'll take our leave now."

"If there are any new products in the store, I will send the information to you first, Miss Jiang."

Jiang Nansun glanced at Chen Cheng, and seeing he had no reaction, she turned back and smiled at Wang Manni and the other.

"I'll see you out."

At this moment, Chen Cheng suddenly said lightly, "Let the driver take you."

Not only Jiang Nansun, but Wang Manni and Zoe were also stunned.

Chen Cheng walked over and smiled, "It's rush hour, it's hard to get a taxi or take the subway."

"Go on."

"Mr. Chen, that's too much..."

Before Wang Manni could finish, Jiang Nansun, holding back a smile, pulled Wang Manni toward the entryway.

"Goodbye, Mr. Chen."

Zoe hurriedly greeted Chen Cheng and quickly followed.

Jiang Nansun led Wang Manni to the car and greeted Eleven, "Eleven, have the driver take these two beauties."

Eleven put down the phone she was using to watch a show, smiled, and turned to look at Jiang Nansun, "Alright, Miss Jiang..."

Eleven looked at Wang Manni without any surprise.

When Chen Cheng went out today, she had been sitting in the passenger seat of the Bodyguard car behind them.

When they went shopping at the mall, she had also been following them from a distance in the crowd. She had seen Wang Manni long ago.

Jiang Nansun glanced at Wang Manni's sales uniform, "Just have the driver take them back to the store..."

A bright smile appeared on Wang Manni's face, "Thank you so much, Miss Jiang."

"By the way, thank you and Mr. Chen for helping me out of that situation at the store earlier."

Jiang Nansun naturally knew she was referring to the time Tracy tried to poach her client.

She smiled, "Oh, it's a small matter. I've seen plenty of things like that, and I don't like that kind of behavior either."

She saw the driver walk into the yard and said, "Alright, get in the car. It was really a bother for you today."

Wang Manni replied, "This is what we are supposed to do."

"..."

After a few pleasantries, Wang Manni and Zoe got into the back seat of the pullman, where a handsome man in a white shirt was holding the door for them.

Before the car started, Wang Manni glanced at Chen Cheng's garage.

She wasn't too surprised.

Having seen this Old Western-style house on Huaihai Road with a yard large enough to play soccer in, Wang Manni already had a certain understanding of the house's owner.

Now, just looking at these cars couldn't give her too much of a shock.

Mainly because working in a luxury store, the clients she usually served all arrived in luxury cars.

As a luxury sales assistant, she had seen many wealthy clients, so her threshold was naturally high.

However, she lacked personal experience.

Not long after, Jiang Nansun returned and walked huffily to Chen Cheng, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Satisfied now that you had the driver take your 'poor man' (pullman, poor man, short for poor person)?"

As she spoke, she twisted her body and huffily bumped her hip against Chen Cheng.

"Hmph, wanting to find us a little sister again, are you?"

"Showing off your muscles now, too?"

The clever Jiang Nansun naturally understood Chen Cheng's purpose in having the driver take Wang Manni.

It was nothing more than letting Wang Manni experience this kind of intoxicating, superficial material vanity.

Luxurious material enjoyment is addictive.

Once you come into contact with it, you slowly get hooked. And then you can't quit.

A cold smile appeared on the corners of Chen Cheng's mouth, "Isn't she an older sister?"

"She should be older than you."

"Pfft~"

Jiang Nansun giggled, "Did you smear arsenic on your lips?"

"That's truly poisonous."

Chen Cheng laughed, "It's alright~"

Jiang Nansun rolled her eyes at him, "You're impossible~"

After that, she changed the subject and said, "Sister Zhenzhen hasn't replied to my messages; she's probably in the lab."

Chen Cheng frowned and smiled, "She doesn't necessarily need to know."
