Chapter 99 ID:000001
Lori arrived at the garage and was ready to go to work. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a figure sitting in her car. For a moment, she was a bit dazed. The car door opened, and a driver, around 50 years old, respectfully got out.
"Miss Lori, it's getting late. Shall we depart?"
Lori was stunned. "Frank, why are you here?"
Frank gave a wry smile and said, "Jesse instructed me. The butler said you didn't have a driver. As for Mr. Perry, I'm afraid he will never be your driver again."
Lori felt a sense of loss. She sighed softly and got into the car. At that moment, several movers appeared in her view. They were carrying bags of clothes from the basement to their truck.
"Who are they?" she asked.
Frank nodded slightly. "They are here to take away Mr. Perry's stuff."
Seeing they were about to leave, Lori's eyes suddenly widened. "Frank, follow their car!"
Lori's luxury car followed all the way. They drove for dozens of miles. Lori arrived at a desolate area in the suburbs. She looked at the strange building in front of her, feeling a bit confused. The surrounding area was deserted and overgrown with weeds. The building also looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.
'Could Elbert be living in a place like this? Or rather, why would he live in such a place?' she thought.
Lori hesitated for a long time. She didn't dare to get out of the car. Not until all the movers had finished and driven away did Lori finally unclench her fists.
"Frank, let's go." She sighed softly; her eyes full of defeat. She had no courage to see Elbert again.
Inside the Lab Graveyard.
Several quadcopter drones neatly arranged Elbert's clothes using hooks.
"Elbert, all the renovation workers will arrive in an hour. They have all signed non-disclosure agreements. Multiple projects will start simultaneously and are expected to be completed within three days!" Robert's voice came through.
Elbert stretched his muscles and nodded slightly. "That's good. Now let's go buy a car and then meet Alvin!"
An hour later, Elbert arrived at the largest and most luxurious multi-brand car sales center in Wavehaven. The four-story building, nearly 100,000 square feet with a full glass curtain wall, displayed all kinds of meticulously polished cars. Countless luxury cars dazzled the eyes. For car enthusiasts, this place was simply paradise.
"Dorothy, we have a customer! Over there!" Two salespeople in uniforms were waiting for customers at the entrance. Suddenly, they saw a young man in a white shirt and jeans walking slowly towards them.
Dorothy, with a ponytail and quite attractive, pouted. "Edith, you're always so animated. This is a luxury car dealership. Look at him; he walked here. He doesn't even have a car! Someone without a car can't just suddenly buy a luxury car!"
She added, "I don't believe he has the money to buy a car! He's probably just another guy coming in to take pictures and share on social media."
The salesperson named Edith said, "Dorothy, I've told you many times, we are here to provide service, and we shouldn't judge people by their appearance! Even if he doesn't buy a car, we should still greet him warmly. If you don't want to, I will!"
"Wait!" Dorothy, the car salesperson, squinted her eyes, staring at the approaching figure.
'Judging by his clothes, he's definitely a nobody. But... he's so handsome, with a tall and well-proportioned body. His white shirt almost sparkles in the sunlight!'
After thinking a while, she changed his mind.
"Edith, whether he buys a car or not, this customer is mine!" With that, Dorothy took two steps forward. She bowed to Elbert as he walked in. "Sir, I'm Dorothy, the sales manager at Four-Dimensional. It's a pleasure to serve you!"
"Thank you." Elbert looked around the luxurious car sales center. "I'm here to buy a car."
"Alright, let me show you around!" Dorothy finally dared to look directly at Elbert's face.
'He was so handsome, with features as delicate as a character from a comic book!' thought she.
The two then slowly walked around the showroom.
"Sir, this is the Audi section. We have the new Audi Q8. Would you like to consider it?" Dorothy followed closely behind Elbert, asking tentatively.
"Maybe, but let's look at something else." Elbert shook his head and continued walking.
"Sir, this is the Land Rover section. The Range Rover Sport matches your youthful vibe. Would you like to consider it?"
"Let's look at something else."
"Sir, how about the Mercedes S-Class?"
"Alright, but let's look at something else."
"Sir, the Porsche Cayenne? Or maybe the Maserati sports car?"
"Not bad, but let's look at something else!"
Elbert seemed uninterested in the cars Dorothy introduced, his eyes constantly scanning the showroom.
'None of these?' Dorothy chuckled to herself.
'He probably can't afford any of them and is just pretending to be dissatisfied! Handsome guys are indeed aloof!' thought she.
"Then, sir, shall we look at the Bentley and Rolls-Royce?"
"Sure."
"Sir, purchasing these top-tier luxury cars requires asset verification. Could you give me your phone number, Facebook, or Gemini appAPP ID so I can complete the registration for you?" Dorothy secretly smiled, thinking she had played along enough to give him face.
"Don't worry about my assets. They're enough to buy any car in your showroom!" Elbert said calmly, heading towards the Bentley section.
Dorothy pouted.
'That statement just confirmed he's a nobody! Fine, I'll humor you a bit more since you're handsome,' thought she.
Elbert then checked out the Bentley Continental GT and Rolls-Royce Phantom. He seemed quite satisfied with them. Finally, they arrived at the lounge area.
Dorothy scanned Elbert's QR code and successfully added him as a Gemini app friend! Dorothy curiously looked at Elbert's Gemini app ID.
'Paul Three? Wow, pretending to be a big shot! But...what's that? Gemini app ID: 000001!' she exclaimed inwardly.
'Oh my god!'
Dorothy's eyes flashed with surprise.
There was a reason for her reaction.
The Gemini app had recently become a nationwide sensation; almost everyone used it! These days, people exchanged contact information through the Gemini app. Gradually, Gemini app IDs became status symbols! Many people even traded vanity numbers! Once, an 888888 Gemini app number was auctioned for a million dollars!
Dorothy couldn't help but feel a bit cautious!
'These 000001 numbers must embody his high status! Someone with such a number must be incredibly wealthy or influential! A trust fund kid? A second-generation official?' she thought.
A crisp metallic sound interrupted Dorothy's thought! She saw Elbert slowly light a cigarette. The key point was the exquisite lighter in his hand!
The lighter had a golden shell embedded with a large gemstone! Dorothy had been in luxury car sales for years. She had seen many wealthy people. She knew this lighter was clearly expensive!
Dorothy's eyes filled with hearts. She nervously asked, "Sir, about the car..."
Elbert took a slow drag of his cigarette. He smiled slightly. "Manager Dorothy, the cars you showed me earlier are all good, all of them..."
Dorothy's heart instantly leaped into her throat.
'He really is a tycoon! Was he buying all the cars? This is straight out of a TV drama! I can't believe I'm lucky enough to serve such a low-key tycoon!' thought her.
Elbert paused. "I don't want any of them!"
