Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 525 - 412: Bought a Car!

1:00 PM.

In front of a Hongqi 4S flagship store.

The reason for coming to Hongqi to buy a car was Gao Jun’s suggestion. He said it’s best not to buy imported cars now, and among the domestic cars, Hongqi offers the best value for money, quality, and design. After all, it’s the official designated vehicle.

With Gao Jun saying this, Zhao Heng had no objections as he didn’t have any particular brand attachment.

After having lunch, Xu Man Ni excitedly dragged Zhao Heng and Gao Jun to look at cars. Of course, once they found a car they liked, it was agreed that Gao Jun would be buying it.

Gao Jun seemed quite happy too, since Zhao Heng was his student and Xu Man Ni was his relative; they were all like family.

Even though Zhao Heng already had a driver’s license and was quite seasoned, this was his first time buying a car, and he felt a bit indescribable.

He wasn’t particularly crazy about cars, but as a man, how could he not have his own ride?

Though with Zhao Heng’s current income, he could afford a couple of sports cars for show, being a doctor with a busy schedule, he would mainly use the car for commuting; buying a sports car would mostly just sit there collecting dust.

Besides, a doctor driving a sports car might be a bit too conspicuous.

Already, many people were focusing on Zhao Heng. If he drove a sports car, it might be a bit too flashy.

As soon as they entered the 4S store, a beautiful salesgirl greeted them with a big smile and said, "Are you here to look at cars? This way, please."

Distinguishing who was here just to look and who was here to buy is a basic skill for car salespeople, especially in a flagship store like this. The sales staff here are the elite from branch stores, earning higher commissions and thus more professional.

After entering, the salesgirl led Zhao Heng and the others to the exhibition center, then casually took some ice cream, or more accurately, old-fashioned popsicles, from a small freezer in the exhibition center and gave one to each of them. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Rest assured, we’re a domestic brand, and everyone gets an ice cream. Not one less," the salesgirl said to Zhao Heng and the others with a mild smile.

"Compared to Häagen-Dazs, the old popsicle suits our taste better,"

Gao Jun, who usually didn’t joke around much, suddenly smiled and said.

Häagen-Dazs isn’t a high-end brand abroad, but suddenly, it became something only the wealthy could afford in China, known as the "ice cream assassin."

Ever since the Ma ice cream incident, other car brands have been relentlessly taking shots at them.

Imagined commercial battles: Strategizing, scheming, secret confrontations.

Real commercial battles: Waiting for the opponent to make a dumb move.

No wonder there’s a style in Go called the "Waiting for Mistakes" style.

In Go terms, a blunder is a player making an unnecessary low-level mistake. The "Waiting for Mistakes" style involves maintaining a calm mindset in an unfavorable situation and steering the game towards a complex state, then waiting for the opponent to err.

The eight-time champion, Ke Jie, is the master of the "Waiting for Mistakes" style.

"What are your requirements for the car?"

The salesgirl asked professionally.

"Around 300,000, with a spacious interior, a bit more roomy," Gao Jun said.

He had thought this through; it’s not that he couldn’t buy something more expensive for Zhao Heng, but as a gift, 300,000 is already very generous. Anything more would be too pricey to be a suitable gift.

"Teacher..."

Hearing Gao Jun say that, Zhao Heng was stunned. Wasn’t it agreed they would buy a driving practice car for about 200,000? How did it suddenly jump by 100,000 to 300,000?

"Xiao Zhao, just listen to me since you’re here," Gao Jun said with a light wave of his hand, giving Zhao Heng a reassuring look.

Seeing Zhao Heng’s bewildered expression, Gao Jun and Xu Man Ni exchanged a knowing smile.

Gao Jun could tell that Zhao Heng wasn’t particularly materialistic, which is why he could gift something so extravagant.

If it were someone else who was penny-pinching, giving such an expensive gift would be inappropriate, and he wouldn’t have gifted something so costly anyway.

That’s just how strange things in the world are: if you want it, you might not get it; if you don’t want it, it gets pushed onto you anyway.

The salesgirl, seeing the exchange between Gao Jun and Zhao Heng, realized they were buying a car to give as a gift.

These days, people gifting cars are incredibly rare.

"How about checking out our newly released Hongqi H9?"

The salesgirl pondered for a moment before suggesting.

Around 300,000 isn’t cheap, especially among domestic cars. It’s considered a mid to high-end vehicle.

Moreover, a 300,000 car with high specs could be several tens of thousands more.

In reality, those who can drive a 300,000 car are already living quite comfortably.

Soon, the three of them followed the salesgirl to a car display stand.

As soon as they reached the stand, Zhao Heng was captivated by the car in front of him.

Even though Zhao Heng had a driver’s license, he wasn’t very knowledgeable about cars. But the first impression this car gave him was one of strong presence, looking very high-end, with a touch of Oriental beauty. It didn’t have the purely foreign design style like Mercedes or BMW.

As the saying goes, "A hero deserves a good steed, and a good steed deserves a good saddle," just like how a great hero like Guo Jing needed to ride a jujube-red horse.

In modern terms, Guo Jing’s jujube-red horse was actually an Akhal-Teke. Today, a purebred Akhal-Teke costs millions, more than the most expensive Rolls-Royce.
