"Why not skip the electric scooter today?"
Li Wei assud Lin Baici would take the e-scooter; it’s the cheapest option, but Li Wei felt attending the college reunion today was a big deal: "Shall we grab a cab?"
If worse cos to worst, at least take the bus.
"You make money for monts like this, don’t you?"
Li Wei persuaded.
The saying goes: "A man fights for dignity, a Buddha fights for incense!"
Lin Baici pressed the car key.
Beep beep!
The car made a sound.
"Co on, get in!"
Lin Baici urged.
"Huh?"
Li Wei stared at the black Audi, clearly a new car, dumbfounded: "Whose car is this?"
"I just bought it!"
"Huh?"
Li Wei was taken aback: "Wait, why’d you buy a car?"
"For convenience!"
"That’s not what I an, I an you’re going to college in Haijing, why buy a car here?"
"For convenience!"
"No, isn’t that too wasteful? When the term starts, who’s going to drive this car?"
"My mom!"
"..."
Li Wei was at a loss for words; he really wanted to say, what’s a food factory worker like your mom doing with a car?
And it’s...
This is an Audi, right?
It’s a luxury car!
"Hurry up! Hurry up!"
Lin Baici urged, honked twice.
Li Wei got into the car, sat in the passenger seat, watching Lin Baici skillfully back the car out of the parking spot, envious: "You’ve got quite the driving skills!"
"You bet!"
Lin Baici raised his eyebrow.
"This car looks quite high-end; how much was it?"
Li Wei took in the surroundings.
"Over 300,000 yuan!"
"Damn!"
Li Wei was shocked: "You’ve got guts to spend!"
"To shield from the wind and rain, any ordinary car would suffice!"
Li Wei actually wanted to advise that buying such an expensive car for Auntie was pointless.
Pure waste.
Li Wei didn’t suspect any illegitimate source for Lin Baici’s money; since childhood, he’s known his buddy to be particularly capable, and now in Haijing, with a bigger stage, there’d naturally be more room and opportunities for developnt.
"If I drove a car like this, surely people would have a higher opinion of , right?"
Li Wei regretted, turning to look at Lin Baici, fantasizing how great it would be if he were the one driving.
...
Xu Chenyang booked the restaurant Yuxiang Seafood Building, a renowned restaurant that people in Guangqing’s older generation have all heard of – their first choice for seafood.
Of course, the dishes were also expensive.
Everyone originally didn’t want to choose this place, but Xu Chenyang kept showing off, saying he’d cover the costs, no need to split the bill, leaving everyone helpless, so in the end, it was settled at this seafood establishnt.
Coming out of the parking lot, Li Wei looked at the sowhat old-fashioned, three-story wooden-decorated restaurant, and couldn’t help but shake his head: "Xu Chenyang went all out to pursue Zhao Xiyuan!"
Never mind the age; it’s famous.
"But if he wins her over, it’s worth it!"
Li Wei recalled Zhao Xiyuan’s image, once his unattainable crush.
"Zhao Xiyuan isn’t that shallow!"
Lin Baici entered the restaurant.
"Do you have a reservation, sir?"
The uniford receptionist smiled and asked.
"Room 208!"
Li Wei felt a bit uneasy; it was his first ti at such a place. He glanced at Lin Baici, noticing how calm his childhood friend was.
"Booked by Mr. Xu, with the phone number ending in 2828, right?"
"Yes!"
Li Wei nodded.
"The elevator’s over there, the two of you can go up and turn left!"
After the receptionist spoke, she imdiately used the walkie-talkie to inform the upstairs server to receive the guests.
Lin Baici and Li Wei went up, found the room, entered, and saw eight people already present.
One of them, wearing a Balenciaga T-shirt and pants, with a pair of black sneakers, was chatting with everyone, holding a Hua Zi cigarette, occasionally flicking the ash.
Seeing Lin Baici and Li Wei, he stood up imdiately.
"Xiao Bai, Mountain Ghost, you’re here!"
Xu Chenyang greeted: "Co on, take a seat!"
Li Wei didn’t like the nickna ’Mountain Ghost’, but Xu Chenyang always called him that, so he had no choice.
"How did you get so much heavier?"
Lin Baici noticed that his classmates had changed quite a bit.
"Went to college, no one to manage , gained freedom, ended up eating more."
Xu Chenyang laughed heartily: "Co on, smoke, it’s a Hua Zi!"
"No thanks!"
Lin Baici declined and greeted the classmates.
