Jaguar engines have consistently earned accolades across various competitions and have long held a leading position in European automotive motorsports since the 1950s. Over more than eight decades of development, Jaguar has continuously integrated cutting-edge technologies into its vehicle manufacturing, achieving a seamless blend of outstanding performance and exceptional driving dynamics. Ye Tong graduated from a university in Hanhai City with a major in international trade and economics. She speaks and moves with grace and poise, truly embodying the qualities of a talented woman of letters. Standing beside a brand-new Jaguar, she is dressed in a white car model outfit that perfectly accentuates her elegant figure. Her flowing hair gently drifts in the breeze, while her charming smile engages the onlookers with a captivating presentation. Her youthful and radiant appearance is no less impressive than that of professional car models. Many visitors stop to take photos, as Ye has undergone three months of modeling training and can skillfully showcase a wide range of poses. The crowd exclaims, "Perfect timing!" and "What a stunning car model! How wonderful it would be to marry her!"
"Too bad I don't have such good fortune!"... The crowd buzzed with lively conversation. Then, suddenly, a stir rippled through the audience. Liu Qingsong, overseeing the proceedings, glanced over and saw a group of rough-looking men approaching. The leader wore glasses, had a broad, sturdy build, and a scar across his forehead. Though the glasses obscured his face, it was clear that he carried a cold, defiant air. He stepped forward to Leaf Tong and said with a sly smile, "Miss, how did the name 'Jaguar' for the Jaguar car come about?" Leaf Tong had carefully prepared her explanations earlier, but this sudden question left her momentarily at a loss, standing frozen. The crowd began to cheer and urge, "Answer quickly! We all want to know!" Liu Qingsong quickly stepped in to mediate, apologizing to the audience with a sincere expression and saying, "I'm truly sorry. I know the origin of the Jaguar car's name can be traced back to 1937. But I'm not exactly sure how the name came to be."
"If we contact an American company to find out the answer and then inform everyone!"
"No way! We need the answer now!" The crowd once again began to protest.
This wasn't so bad—what mattered was that already 18 people had signed purchase intent agreements on-site today. Seeing such a widely watched issue unanswered, they now纷纷 demanded to withdraw their purchase commitments.
It meant all the effort put into car sales was being wasted. Liu Qingsong's pressure was immense, so he grew anxious and apologized to the crowd—yet the crowd paid no attention.
The glasses-wearing leader exclaimed passionately, "Until you answer this question, you won't sell a single car today!" As he spoke, he snatched the purchase intent agreement from a customer who had not yet withdrawn and tore it into pieces.
"You and your team are simply unreasonable!"
Ye Tong was so angry her breasts rose and fell with each breath. The glasses-wearing manager removed his glasses, eyes lingering seductively on her chest, reaching out with a slightly salty hand to touch—thankfully, Ye Tong moved swiftly, otherwise she’d have been left with a white-knuckled advantage. "You won’t let me enjoy myself! Then I’ll make a scene!" The manager’s face grew even more fierce once he took off his glasses. "What should I do? What should I do?" As Sales Director, Liu Qingsong had never encountered such a situation before. Watching the group of over a dozen tough guys act so arrogantly, he felt completely at a loss. It was only when Ye Tong stepped back and quickly communicated the unfolding situation to her direct supervisor, Gao Liang, who was not present, that things began to stabilize. "Don’t panic! Just stay calm first!" Gao Liang’s voice on the phone gave Ye Tong renewed confidence. With a little guidance from Gao Liang, Ye Tong gained the confidence she needed.
While Liu Qingsong still hung his head, looking weary and concerned, Ye Tong walked up to the stage, addressed the microphone, and loudly announced to everyone in the audience: "Ladies and gentlemen, friends, thank you all for being here at the GoodSpeed automotive sales event. The questions you've raised are excellent. Here, I'd like to make a few clarifications!" As she said this, Ye Tong raised a Jaguar logo plaque, and the audience erupted into excitement. After all, Jaguar is indeed a world-renowned automotive brand, long admired by many. However, the market requires guidance—good guidance leads to strong consumer engagement. "The origin of the Jaguar brand traces back to 1937, when in June of that year, the SS Automobile Company officially acquired the Sunbeam (Wolverhampton) Automobile Company."
At that time, Sir Lyons had been particularly keen to name the car Sunbeam, as Sunbeam had won numerous world racing championships and thus stood as a symbol of victory. Unfortunately, internal issues within the company arose, and ultimately, the use of Sunbeam as the company's name had to be abandoned. In the end, Sir Lyons chose Jaguar—a name that sounded crisp and clear in all languages—originally inspired by a type of flying machine used during the First World War. The name "Jaguar" is also pronounced as "Ji-jia" in Cantonese, a phonetic rendering of "Jaguar." Ye Tong's explanation flowed effortlessly and earned enthusiastic applause from the audience. Liu Qingsong was gazing at her with wide, admiring eyes, completely puzzled by her sudden transformation—from being momentarily stunned to now delivering a fluent, eloquent speech with such confidence. Was it a sudden enlightenment? "Damn! You really are something special! If you ever join me, I'll make sure you're well taken care of!"
The glasses guy chuckled邪ly, his eyes fixed on Ye Tong like nails, and even dripped saliva. "Yes! Yes! Follow our boss, live it up!" one of the thugs nodded in agreement. But Ye Tong wouldn't have it—she bit her jade teeth and said, "You're not getting away with it!" "Oh! Ungrateful!" the glasses guy snapped, waving his arms at his ten or so thugs. "Black Head! Seize her! She'll have to go today—whether she wants to or not! She's mine! I'm taking her!" "Yes, Mr. Lei!" Black Head stepped forward, leading the group of thugs to encircle the graceful Ye Tong. Liu Qinglong tried to call for help, but it was too late—one of the thugs snatched his phone. "Let me go! You're baseless, crude, and despicable!" Ye Tong was held by two thugs, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free. Mr. Lei gently touched Ye Tong's lovely face, supporting her chin, and admired, "So well-dressed!"
The more I see him, the more I want to do something! Brothers, hurry and drag her back—my turn to make my move! Ye Ting refused stubbornly, yet had no choice but to keep shouting curses at these thugs' base and unprincipled behavior. Liu Qingsong stepped forward, pleading, but was punched in the abdomen by He Tou. Lei Yang burst into laughter: "I originally came here to create a scene, but what I found instead is such a beautiful girl. So now, I just want this girl! If I'm not satisfied, I'll smash every single vehicle here!" "Sir! Sir!" Liu Qingsong lay on his knees, clutching Lei Yang's legs, pleading desperately. But Lei Yang kicked him aside and turned to He Tou, saying, "The more you plead, the more I want to smash things! He Tou, go ahead and act!"
Just as Black Head was swinging his iron pole at a brand-new Jaguar car, and Liu Qingsong and the hostage Ye Tong were closing their eyes in despair, they heard a sharp clink—a sound of metal hitting the ground. When they looked, they were stunned—Black Head's iron pole had been struck by something and rolled several meters away. Black Head's hand was bleeding profusely, and he let out a loud cry of shock. Everyone turned to see a handsome young man stepping forward—Liu Qingsong and Ye Tong recognized him immediately: Gao Liang. Gao Liang, his eyes sharp and focused, saw that the robber had previously stolen the "Secret Manual" and now, today, was openly causing a scene to seize the hostages. He was furious. Turning to Lei Yi, he said, "You dare to touch anyone near me? I think you're ready to die!" Lei Yi, confident in his numbers, boasted, "This isn't your concern. If you're wise, just get out of the way. If not, then take your life with you!" "Li Manager! You have no need to get involved with us!"
"Liu Qingsong and Ye Tong said it almost simultaneously. High Light looked straight at the old man, Li, and said, 'I've really got this settled!'
'Grab them! Hit them hard!' the old man went wild. Immediately, over a dozen thugs surrounded High Light in the center. With no weapons at all, High Light was attacked by the dozen men, each wielding their own tools. High Light, no doubt a man trained in Chinese martial arts, skillfully applied the evasive techniques of Lee Lee, constantly dodging and weaving, never allowing a single inch of his body to be touched by the attacks.
