Chapter 111 How much money can a technician earn?
Upon hearing this, Li Yi subconsciously glanced at Li Dehui's girlfriend.
Yang Xiaoli is not old, only in her early twenties, and she dresses quite well. Her overall appearance is probably around 6 out of 10, so she can be considered a beauty.
However, compared to stunningly beautiful young women like Wang Tao and Bai Ruxue, she falls far short.
Li Yi glanced at Yang Xiaoli casually, then paused slightly, his gaze lingering on her stomach for a moment before he nodded and said, "That's great, congratulations, old classmate!"
"Hehe, it's alright, I'm just doing so-so right now."
Li Dehui chuckled a few times before noticing the Audi A8 in front of him and the female salesperson next to him.
He paused for a moment, then blurted out instinctively, "Holy crap! Li Yi, you weren't looking at an A8 just now, were you?"
"Yes, I did take a quick look just now."
"You're something else!" Li Dehui looked Li Yi up and down again. "I remember back in school, you used to hide in your dorm and eat instant noodles every day."
I can't believe you're already looking at A8 papers after only a few months since graduation! Looks like you've struck it rich!
Compared to ordinary people, Li Yi is indeed considered to have made a fortune now.
After all, the more than 110 million in that card was all real money.
However, he was too embarrassed to be too high-profile in front of his classmates.
"I wouldn't say I got rich; I was just lucky and made a little money."
Even the entry-level Audi A8 would cost seven or eight hundred thousand, so Li Dehui didn't believe Li Yi had that much money.
"Li Yi, I don't remember doctors' salaries being that high, and you've only recently graduated, you've probably just been promoted. Where did you get so much money to buy an A8?"
Li Yi shook his head. "You've misunderstood. I'm not working at the hospital right now."
Li Dehui was taken aback upon hearing this.
Although Li Yi wasn't the best student in school, he was the most hardworking in his class.
However, it's not easy to find employment in traditional Chinese medicine these days. A recent college graduate doesn't have a better option than working in a hospital.
"So where are you working now?"
"I work as a technician at a beauty salon."
What is that? A technician?
Li Dehui's eyes widened in disbelief.
Even Li Dehui's girlfriend and the female salesperson next to him glanced at Li Yi.
Then, the two of them immediately had the same thought: a grown man working as a technician in a beauty salon, could he be a gigolo?
Li Dehui shared similar thoughts with the other two: "Li Yi, you're a proper college graduate, why did you end up becoming a technician?"
Li Yi could guess what the others were thinking just by looking at their expressions.
However, he didn't care at all. "The traditional Chinese medicine we studied includes skills like massage, and my current job is exactly what I'm doing."
What a perfect match for my major!
Upon hearing this, Li Dehui's lips twitched. "Old classmate, why did you have to become a technician? There are so many things you could do."
Okay, my family owns a small factory, and it's been doing pretty well these past few years. Since we're old classmates, why don't you just come over? I'll get you a supervisor position, six thousand a month, room and board included!
Although Li Dehui's words were somewhat boastful, the fact that the other party offered him a job showed some kindness.
However, I am now a respected TCM technician with a monthly salary of hundreds of thousands. I would be crazy to go and become a supervisor in a small factory.
"Never mind, I think things are fine as they are, so I won't bother you."
"Oh, why are you so stubborn! I know we're classmates, and you'll probably feel embarrassed if you work for me, but it's still better than you being a technician!"
"Um...actually, being a technician isn't so bad, and my current salary is pretty good."
"Pshaw! She's just a technician, how high can her salary be?"
Li Yi didn't really feel like he was losing face; he just complained that the salary wasn't right.
Unfortunately, Li Dehui stubbornly refused to believe it, which left people speechless.
Since they weren't very familiar with each other, he didn't bother to continue the conversation.
"Old classmate, there's really no need to trouble you. I have some things to do, so I'll buy the car first."
After Li Yi finished speaking, without waiting for Li Dehui to speak, he turned to the female salesperson and said, "Miss, I've made up my mind. I want the top-of-the-line version. Please place your order now."
"what?"
When Li Yi suddenly spoke up and immediately wanted to pre-order the top-of-the-line A8, the saleswoman was momentarily stunned.
However, after glancing at Li Dehui, she suddenly realized what was going on.
It seems that this handsome guy in front of me must have been provoked by his classmate, so he's trying to put on a brave face.
Upon hearing this, Li Dehui was also dumbfounded.
He originally just wanted to show off to Li Yi in front of his girlfriend.
Unexpectedly, the other party now wants to order an A8, and it's the top-of-the-line version that costs over two million.
Although the saleswoman really wanted to get the commission, she was also worried that Li Yi would change his mind later and cause a lot of trouble, so she reminded him again, "Handsome, you need to pay a deposit of 50,000 yuan in advance to order the top-of-the-line A8."
Furthermore, this deposit is non-refundable. Are you sure you want to book in advance?
"Yes, I'm sure."
Li Yi nodded, then took out his phone to pay.
What a load of bullshit, the A8!
Where would Li Yi, a mere technician, get so much money?
Upon hearing the saleswoman's words, Li Dehui realized what was happening.
He had just told Li Yi to work at his family's factory, and now Li Yi wanted to order an A8. Wasn't this a clear attempt to get back at him?
However, this guy was willing to throw away 50,000 yuan just to save face, which makes him quite ruthless.
Li Dehui's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but sneer, "Li Yi, if you really want to buy an A8, why pay a deposit? Just pay the full amount upfront, and you'll get the car sooner."
Li Yi, who was already about to pay, suddenly paused upon hearing this. "Miss, if I pay the full amount upfront, will I really be able to get the car sooner?"
This guy's acting is pretty convincing!
The female saleswoman was speechless.
However, she maintained her professional demeanor, saying, "That's right! Handsome, if you can pay for the car in one lump sum, we can indeed deliver it to you faster."
Li Yi never expected such a good thing to happen.
He didn't even have time to thank Li Dehui for the reminder, and said directly to the saleswoman, "Okay, I'll pay the full amount right away."
Pay the full amount upfront?
The saleswoman was taken aback. "Handsome, are you sure you want to pay the full amount?"
"That's right!"
"Okay, handsome, could you please come with me?"
Li Yi turned to look at Li Dehui, "Old classmate, I'll go pay now, we can chat again when we have time."
Li Dehui thought Li Yi was trying to get rid of him so he could leave, "Oh well, I'm going to pick up my car today anyway, so let's just go and settle the bill together."
Li Yi didn't think much of it upon hearing this, and said, "Alright, let's go together."
So, the group went straight to the counter.
"Handsome, the top-of-the-line A8 in our store has a base price of 210.28 yuan after the discount. With the purchase tax and insurance, the total price is 234.69 yuan."
"Just scan this code, and I'll bring you the contract after the payment is complete."
After the saleswoman rattled off a series of calculations, she announced the final price. Then she looked at Li Yi, ready to wait for him to find an excuse to refuse to pay.
However, to everyone's surprise, Li Yi simply nodded, then took out his phone and scanned the QR code on the counter.
The next moment, a voice came from the computer.
"Ding! Payment successful."
Upon hearing this voice, the female saleswoman was completely stunned.
Holy crap!
Li Dehui also swore, then looked at Li Yi in shock, "You...you really want to buy the top-of-the-line A8?"
"Of course, I've already paid!"
"..."
Li Dehui thought Li Yi was just showing off, but he didn't expect that Li Yi was actually really awesome.
