Chapter 468: So Attentive (4)
The Shangguan Family is quite well-known in S City. Although they can’t compare to those established families in Beijing, anyone who has lived in S City wouldn’t be unfamiliar with the Shangguan Family.
Song Shi, as a businessman and a member of the Song Family in Beijing, has some understanding of prominent families across the provinces and cities. Upon hearing Shangguan Wenbin’s introduction, he immediately knew that he was from the Shangguan Family in S City. Hence, the smile on his face became even more cordial, and he said, "Oh, it’s Young Master Shangguan, my apologies for not recognizing you sooner."
Song Shi is not only a businessman but also someone from a prestigious family. Naturally, he knows whom to befriend and whom not to offend.
The young man in front of him, Shangguan Wenbin, is someone he should befriend and not offend. Although he’s young now, who knows how he might develop in the future?
At this moment, Shangguan Wenbin had already guessed that Song Shi was the owner of the car dealership, so he didn’t hold back and directly asked, "Third Young Master Song, you must be the owner of this car dealership. May I ask, what would you like to discuss with my sister and me by keeping us here?"
"Young Master Shangguan, Miss Jiang, please come inside to talk." Song Shi invited the two into the dealership’s meeting room, served tea for them, and while making tea himself, said, "It’s my fault for the misunderstanding."
"Third Young Master Song, what do you mean by this?" Shangguan Wenbin asked calmly. At this moment, his mind was full of questions. It was clear that Song Shi didn’t know Jiang Xue, so why did he lower the car’s price so much?
If there was a problem with the car, that would be another matter. But the car clearly had no issues. As for Song Shi, Shangguan Wenbin couldn’t tell what his intentions were for the time being.
"I was just doing a favor for someone," Song Shi didn’t hide the fact and explained the situation entrusted to him by Nangong Chen. Upon hearing it was Nangong Chen pulling the strings behind the scenes, Jiang Xue’s expression turned unpleasant.
After finishing his explanation, Song Shi secretly observed Jiang Xue, trying to gauge her reaction and speculating about whether there was really a relationship between Nangong Chen and Jiang Xue.
But Jiang Xue’s reaction was completely beyond his expectations; he not only didn’t see delight, but rather saw anger.
What could have happened, could it be that Nangong Chen did something wrong to Jiang Xue, leading her to be angry, and that’s why Nangong Chen wanted to use the car as compensation?
As he was thinking this, Jiang Xue spoke up, saying, "Boss Song, please tell Nangong Chen that I understand his gesture. However, I’ll pass on the car; I don’t like receiving others’ gifts."
"Miss Jiang, it would be best if you tell Nangong Chen this yourself. I’m just following orders. If this doesn’t get resolved, my little shop won’t be able to continue operating."
"So, Miss Jiang, how about this: you take the car with you first, and after taking it back, you can deal with it however you prefer."
"Boss Song, you’re making things difficult. But I apologize, I won’t be buying the car for now. So, how you explain this to Nangong Chen is none of my concern, and I believe with your connection with Nangong Chen, he surely won’t go to extremes, right?"
After saying this, Jiang Xue didn’t want to stay any longer and directly said to Shangguan Wenbin, "Wenbin, let’s go."
Shangguan Wenbin stood up and apologetically said to Song Shi, "Third Young Master Song, sorry, but we’ll take our leave first."
Jiang Xue and Shangguan Wenbin left the dealership, but instead of heading home immediately, they wandered around the city for a while.
Jiang Xue was in a somewhat bad mood; she hadn’t expected that Nangong Chen would know she wanted to buy a car and had even made arrangements for it.
