Chapter 580 Wealth Overwhelms One! Accidentally Entering the Imperial Family!
Central Plaza, Hong Kong.
During the New Year's Day holiday, tourists flocked to the area.
The piercing alarm sounded as it approached.
A convoy of cars drove up at a leisurely pace, attracting many onlookers.
Countless people were curious about what kind of important person would come to the square to celebrate the festival.
Moreover, this convoy consisted entirely of black Land Rover sedans and minivans.
Led by police cars, they drove in like a long black dragon, resembling a group of powerful men in suits making their entrance, exuding a strong sense of pressure.
Inside the Land Rover D9 minivan, which is driving smoothly.
Dressed in a business suit, Wan Lingruo suppressed her excitement.
This wasn't her first time in Hong Kong, nor was it her first time at Central Plaza.
When she was a flight attendant, the airline's base was located at Shenzhen International Airport.
Because flying is so tiring, people inevitably engage in revenge spending whenever they have time off.
Hong Kong, known as a shopping paradise, was a place she and her colleagues frequented.
So when the convoy drove through familiar streets, she was naturally filled with mixed emotions.
"I never imagined that one day I would come to Zhonghuan Plaza, which I have visited countless times, in this way!"
"They came from Jingzhou by private jet, and from Hong Kong International Airport they came here in a fleet of domestically produced luxury cars!"
"Most importantly, we were escorted by Hong Kong police cars all the way here. It was so cool and impressive!!"
Wan Lingruo felt as if she were dreaming.
This seemingly unrealistic dream began at the beginning of the year with an unexpected hijacking incident.
Although Zhao Ruilong and his guards intervened in time and subdued the hijacker wearing a fake bomb vest, the situation did not escalate.
However, the entire crew, including Wan Lingruo, was grounded and penalized for their inadequate response to the emergency.
While everyone else was thinking about taking an early Spring Festival holiday and getting some rest, Wan Lingruo, who was determined to marry a rich man, suddenly had the idea to go to the headquarters of Huilong Group for an interview.
She originally just wanted to be a receptionist, but she found that there were so many beautiful women applying, and the interview was like a beauty pageant. She was already disheartened, but since she was already there, she decided to bite the bullet and go for it.
She never expected that her less-than-perfect interview performance would win the appreciation of the group's president, Zhao Xiaohui, who recommended her to work as a sales assistant in the international department, where Zhao Ruilong also served as the head.
At that moment, she knew clearly that the gears of her destiny had quietly begun to turn.
Originally, she just wanted to take advantage of her youth, beauty, and temperament to get into Huilong Group and climb the social ladder, so that she could be kept as a mistress like her flight attendant colleague who married a coal mine owner, and live a comfortable life where she could just spend money.
With the help of Zhao Xiaohui, a benefactor, who helped her get a job as a sales assistant in the international department and become a flight attendant, Wan Lingruo, whose intelligence was naturally not low, knew that her chance to change her destiny had come.
And so.
She decisively quit her job as a flight attendant and joined Huilong Group, starting as an intern sales assistant.
They put in even more effort and hard work than when preparing for the college entrance examination, constantly asking questions and studying diligently.
With the continuous expansion of overseas business, there are plenty of learning and practical opportunities. In addition, there are many powerful and elites to assist them, as well as the international department under Zhao Ruilong's careful guidance. Wan Lingruo is truly like a fish in water and can learn and grow rapidly.
Not only did she receive the highest 5A rating in the comprehensive evaluation after her internship, but after officially becoming an international sales assistant, she has become increasingly proficient in fulfilling her duties. In the past two months, she has made significant contributions to helping Land Rover enter the European market.
From a beautiful flight attendant in the past to a workplace elite today!
Along the way, Wan Lingruo has undergone a transformation that goes beyond just her appearance and temperament.
Working in top companies, alongside top talent, and handling international business deals worth hundreds of millions or even billions of US dollars...
As a result, her thinking, vision, values, and so on have all changed subtly, making her more and more like a strong woman who dares to fight and make a name for herself, rather than the flight attendant who wanted to become rich by marrying a wealthy man.
The most obvious change was when she first joined the company. She couldn't help but show off and posted many updates on QQ Space, from her workstation to the cafeteria, from the modern workshop to the magnificent office building. When she stayed in hotels while on business trips, she couldn't help but show off how high-end they were, as if she wanted all her QQ friends to know that she was no longer a flight attendant but a white-collar worker.
Back then, she especially enjoyed watching her colleagues who were still working hard as flight attendants, and her relatives and classmates whose work and lives were just average. After liking each of their posts, the undisguised envy and jealousy between the lines gave her a great sense of satisfaction, as if she had truly achieved success and was superior to others.
But as time goes by...
As she added more and more capable, talented, and accomplished people as friends, almost none of them showed off. In particular, after adding Zhao Ruilong, one of the group's big bosses, on QQ, she discovered that as the son of a top-tier noble family and incredibly wealthy, he had to reply to messages every day, yet his QQ space remained completely blank.
Moreover, more and more people are no longer just envious and jealous; some are even trying to get close to her, pry for information, ask for job introductions, ask for business introductions, and so on. Wan Lingruo then realized that the self-esteem and satisfaction she had gained from showing off her achievements were quickly destroyed by her friends, and she was also constantly in trouble.
After reflecting on her actions, she deleted all her posts on QQ Space, stopped engaging in meaningless social interactions, and began to focus on her work and studies, devoting all her energy to doing her job well and improving herself. Even when she traveled abroad to the romantic city of Bari and boarded a private jet, she no longer took photos and posted them online to show off.
Just like today.
She accompanied her boss on a private jet to the international metropolis of Hong Kong, riding in the world's most advanced and luxurious cars and enjoying the escort of Hong Kong police cars, without taking any photos or videos to show off later.
Even when I see those luxury boutiques on the street that I used to be too intimidated to enter, I feel very calm. Instead of thinking that I can finally go in and buy everything, I think about why they have been able to exist for so long.
"Jingzhou is the headquarters of Land Rover, yet Mr. Zhao insisted on bringing Mr. Tang and the others to Hong Kong to see this Land Rover flagship store located in Central Plaza. What was he thinking?"
As Wan Lingruo tried to figure out Zhao Ruilong's thoughts, countless passersby stopped to watch.
The police car leading the way drove past the entrance to the parking lot of the Land Rover Xiangjiang flagship store and came to a stop on one side of the entrance.
Following closely behind were a series of imposing black Land Rover sedans and minivans, which turned into the underground parking lot one after another.
At the very back of the convoy was a police patrol car, a sight often seen by Hong Kong residents.
The police patrol car did not enter the underground parking lot.
Instead, they drove forward for a distance with the police car that was leading the way, and then pulled over to the side of the road.
The curious onlookers did not see what kind of important person the convoy was bringing.
Instead, several police officers in uniform and plainclothes got out of the two cars and quickly dispersed.
Some were patrolling and looking around on both sides of the main entrance, while others went inside to inspect the store...
Such a high level of security naturally convinced the onlookers that a very important person must have come to the Land Rover flagship store.
However, it is obvious that a big shot who can enjoy such a high level of security would not come to the store to look at and buy a car in person; there must be other things going on when he comes to the store.
Many people were curious, but no one dared to go into the store to see what was going on.
It's not just because there are heavily armed police officers patrolling and on guard; people who don't look like rich people and can't afford a million-dollar luxury car will definitely be thoroughly investigated if they go there.
Also, because this store is located in the prime location of Zhonghuan Plaza, it is larger and more upscale than other luxury brand stores, making ordinary people feel that it is out of reach and they don't dare to go in at all.
Especially the cars on display in the store, they all look luxurious and grand, and must be very expensive. Without sufficient financial strength, how would an ordinary person dare to go in and take a look?
On the day the store officially opened, a large number of wealthy businessmen, celebrities and big stars from Hong Kong came to support it. Those who came to buy and pick up cars later were either big bosses or executives of listed companies.
Meanwhile, numerous media outlets in Hong Kong have also given extensive feature reports on Land Rover, the first domestically produced luxury car brand from the mainland, detailing its technology, models, services, prices, and more.
Since Hong Kong has no local automobile industry, all vehicles need to be imported. Even though there are no import tariffs on automobiles as a free trade port, expenses such as initial registration tax and license plate fees are still considerable.
The three Land Rover models launched in the first batch had a base price of over 600,000 yuan, so the final price of all three models on the market exceeded one million yuan, making them true million-yuan luxury cars.
Even though these cars can run on both gasoline and electricity and their overall fuel consumption is not high, considering that Hong Kong has limited land, a large population, and dense buildings, the price is extremely expensive whether you buy or rent a parking space or park temporarily on the roadside.
In this way...
This Land Rover flagship store in Hong Kong, located in a prime location and decorated with a high-tech feel, sells luxury cars worth millions. Like other luxury brand stores in the area, it's not a place that ordinary people dare to casually stroll around.
Even if they heard that the shop assistants treated people with sincerity and didn't mind if the people who came into the store were not dressed in a high-class manner, and didn't care about asking all sorts of questions, they would not buy anything after asking all sorts of questions, and even freeload free fruit, drinks and meals for customers.
Even though the store not only sells million-dollar domestic luxury cars and related car accessories, it also sells household appliances, electronic products, game software, porcelain, tea, handicrafts, and so on that ordinary people can afford.
of course.
Most office workers and small vendors, due to limited financial resources, do not even dare to enter their shops.
However, tourists from all over the world who come to Hong Kong for tourism and shopping are often less concerned about such things.
Especially when you're tired from shopping around the area, going to the store to use the restroom, eat snacks, drink beverages, play games, and enjoy a massage in the chair is so comfortable.
Looking across the entire Central Plaza, or even the whole of Hong Kong, where else can you find such a high-end place where you can eat, drink, and play for free without being snubbed or looked down upon by the staff?
That's why.
When Zhao Ruilong and his entourage got out of the car and went upstairs, there weren't many people looking at cars in the showroom on the first and second floors, but the customer area on the third floor was bustling with activity.
Some people were sleeping on sofas and massage chairs, some were playing games in front of rows of computer stations, some were eating, drinking and chatting in the food and beverage area, and many children were playing in the play area...
This doesn't look like a car dealership at all; it's more like a free, self-service playground!
After joining the International Department of Huilong Group, Wan Lingruo frequently visited Land Rover 4S stores to learn from their experience.
But she didn't see such a scene in any of the 4S stores she visited in inland cities.
Regardless of their background, whether they are nouveau riche, petty thugs, or gang leaders, people tend to be very self-disciplined and courteous when they come to a high-class setting.
But what about these people in front of us?
Most of them were blond-haired, blue-eyed Westerners.
How come they all treat this place like their own home, lying down, playing, and eating as they please?
Some people even took off their clothes, went shirtless, had cigarettes in their mouths, and frantically typed on their keyboards while playing games and swearing.
Is he treating this place like a free internet cafe?
