Zack said, “There’s a cultural industry base near our new place, set up by the government specifically to support businesses like ours. We can rent there, and the government even offers a subsidy fund, which makes the rent super cheap. I am considering whether we should move there. It would also make our commute to work
shorter.”
Cornelia replied, “Sounds like a sweet deal, we should definitely move.”
Zack said, “After Abby comes back, we can go to the site together tomorrow and then decide.”
“Sure,” Cornelia suddenly said, “Zack, let’s swing by the nearest Mercedes-Benz dealership.”
Zack asked, “What for?”
Cornelia answered, “Since you handle our studio’s business dealings, you and your car are essentially our studio’s image. Now that we have this significant project, we need to get you a new ride.”
There had been plans to get a new car for the studio, but they were put on hold when the studio got trashed recently. Renovating would set them back over twenty grand.
Hearing Cornelia say that they could get a car now, Zack was naturally very happy, “To the Mercedes dealership? You sure? Should we be looking for something around the twenty grand mark…
Cornelia said, “Didn’t you say you had a thing for the Mercedes-Benz E300 series last time? Let’s get the E300.”
Zack said, “The E300’s likely going to cost between fifty and sixty grand. I feel that the budget for this level of car is a bit higher than what our studio can afford..
Cornelia said, “Our studio’s pulling in at least a million a year, right? A car worth around sixty grand won’t break the bank. Just tell me, do you want to drive this car or not?”
“Of course I do!” Zack looked at the luxury car trailing behind them through the rearview mirror, and said with a touch of envy, “I’d also love to be driving that Aston Martin following us. But do I deserve it?”
“Absolutely!” Cornelia took out her phone and used the navigation app to search for the Mercedes-Benz 4S dealership. It was close to their current location, and they could reach it in just a few minutes by car. “You focus on driving, I’ll handle the navigation,” she said.
“Alright!” Zack took another peek at the car behind them in the mirror; they made a U-turn, and the car behind them followed suit.
Did Marcus really have nothing better to do?
Marcus had an important meeting today. The original plan was to have it in person, but due to some circumstances, he switched to a virtual meeting.
Throughout the meeting, everyone could tell that he was in high spirits.
Just how good was his mood?
