At Mr. Yi’s request, a Rolls-Royce salesman
picked Weng up the next day,
and they spent most of the afternoon singing in the backseat
to demonstrate the Phantom’s great potential for karaoke.
“Would you like a picnic hamper too?” the salesman asked.
“Or a humidor?”
Weng shook his head. “Maybe next time.”
“How about I show you the upholstery choices? We have
Moccasin or Oatmeal, with Bird’s Eye Maple?
Do you have a time frame in mind for delivery?”
“Next week,” Weng said. “I have to go to Ningbo.”
“Why don’t you fly, Mr. Fun?”
“Because I want to drive. That’s the whole reason I’m here.”
“Of course, of course,” the salesman chuckled. “Driving there is a
luxury few would consider.”
“Do you sell driving licenses too?”
The salesman laughed nervously.
“You don’t have one, Mr. Fun?”
