OFR – Chapter 313 Lamborghini

After that.

The two of them chatted for about half an hour while eating, and then Li Xiaoqing bought a train ticket from Nanjing to Shanghai using her phone.

Although it was the end of the year and tickets were hard to get, short-distance tickets like those between Nanjing and Shanghai were still relatively easy to find.

Moreover, since both Nanjing and Shanghai are well-known first-tier cities in China, the residents there—while not necessarily all wealthy—at least every household typically owns a car. So for travel options like train tickets, there wouldn’t be a crazy rush to buy them.

Xiaoqing’s ticket was for a high-speed train at 6:00 in the evening.

When Mu Bai heard the time, he planned to head out in the afternoon to buy goods for the New Year and return early so he could personally send Xiaoqing to the station.

“Mhm, Mu Hao, go ahead. Don’t worry about me. I’ll just take a taxi there myself. Oh right, didn’t you say someone’s coming today to pick up a package? Around what time? I can help you send the package before I leave.”

At that moment, likely due to the excitement of the upcoming holiday break, Xiaoqing spoke cheerfully. Her beautiful big eyes curved into two crescent moons as she smiled.

“The courier should come in the evening. If they come in the afternoon, you can help send it off. The goods are in my bedroom, already packed. But don’t take a taxi to the station by yourself. It’s the end of the year—security isn’t great. Don’t be willful. I’ll be back soon after buying the goods.”

Mu Bai looked at the well-behaved and considerate Xiaoqing and nodded as he spoke.

Indeed, although society now was generally trending toward a harmonious era, many aspects were still quite unstable.

Especially in the face of severe economic challenges—combined with inflation, serious population aging, and the disappearance of demographic dividends—making money was becoming increasingly difficult, while the cost of living kept rising.

As a result, many unstable social factors were emerging.

And under the current societal imbalance with more men than women, single and attractive women like Xiaoqing could very easily become targets in some people’s eyes.

Therefore, Mu Bai didn’t want something unexpected to happen to this assistant he was quite satisfied with on her way home.

“Mhm, thank you, Mu Hao! Got it, I’ll wait for you to come back before I leave.”

Perhaps Xiaoqing wasn’t thinking as much as Mu Bai, but she was still very, very happy to feel her boss’s concern.

It was a kind of happiness she had never experienced before.

It felt like receiving care and appreciation from her boss was the most joyful thing in the world.

“Mhm, then I’ll head out first. Take your time packing.”

Standing to the side, Mu Bai got up from his seat, waved his hand, and then turned to leave.

Soon, amidst Xiaoqing’s cheerful voice, he walked out of the villa at Xuanwu Zhongshan.

The luxurious Bugatti Veyron had been taken by Rong Qingwen, so after stepping out, Mu Bai had to open the ride-hailing app on his phone.

He ordered a car that was nearby and available for service.

After booking it, Mu Bai waited while also thinking that it was probably time to buy another luxury car.

After all, Rong Qingwen had taken the Bugatti Veyron. He couldn’t keep relying on taxis, right?

If word got out, it would probably become a laughing topic among Nanjing’s upper class.

So after thinking for a bit, Mu Bai decided that after going out, he’d drop by the joint luxury car expo featuring Bugatti Veyron, Mercedes-Benz, Pagani, and others.

If he found a nice car, he’d just buy one.

Now that he had come out of the purple-gold high-stakes gambling match with a complete victory, the amount of liquid assets in his hands was simply terrifying.

Buying a luxury car wasn’t even a significant expense.

At this moment, it was nearing 1:00 PM.

After waiting for about seven or eight minutes, Mu Bai glanced at the map on his phone and saw that the ordered car was getting close.

He had originally planned to wait inside the Xuanwu Zhongshan villa area for the vehicle to enter. But after observing the security at the gate, he realized that the area had tight security, and ride-hailing vehicles probably wouldn’t be allowed in.

So Mu Bai walked out of the villa complex and waited by the spacious street outside.

The once-glorious “Cold Young Master” who had earned immense prestige at the Zijin Pavilion was now standing on the roadside waiting for a taxi.

Honestly, the sight was quite out of place.

If any wealthy person who had seen the Cold Young Master before passed by, they’d probably be so shocked they wouldn’t know what to say.

But aside from feeling a little out of place, Mu Bai didn’t feel embarrassed or humiliated at all.

Because things like “saving face” were, in many cases, just another form of wealth and power. If you have strength, you have face.

So now, he stood calmly by the roadside, showing no unusual expression as he waited.

A few minutes later, at about 1:00 PM, a striking sky-blue Lamborghini suddenly sped over from the other side of Xuanwu Road.

The driver of this barely-qualified-as-luxury sports car saw Mu Bai waiting by the roadside and revealed a slight smirk. He slowly eased the car to a stop in front of Mu Bai.

In fact, the driver was none other than the person who had accepted Mu Bai’s ride request on the app.

His name was Zhan Yuyun, a moderately well-off second-generation rich kid in Nanjing.

His family was wealthy—his father was in the mining business with the Nalan family, and his mother was involved in pharmaceuticals through a hospital.

Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he had lived carefree since childhood.

Though he had graduated from a top domestic university and held an impressive degree he was proud of, and despite his parents constantly urging him to start a business, his lazy personality always avoided such responsibilities.

Zhan Yuyun’s daily routine consisted of flexing, picking up girls, and playing games.

To him, that was the truly perfect life. After all, life is short, so you might as well enjoy it while you can.

He didn’t want to end up like his parents—working themselves to death only to leave behind a massive fortune they couldn’t take with them.

As for driving a luxury car to pick up passengers, he considered that the most fun and exciting part of his daily “flexing and flirting” routine.

Every time he saw shocked passengers, he felt extremely satisfied. He believed this was the pinnacle of showing off.

Especially when he picked up pretty girls—those feelings were indescribable.

Originally, Zhan Yuyun didn’t plan to take passengers in the Xuanwu Zhongshan area. He knew that even the average resident here had assets in the tens of millions.

Trying to show off in front of them with just a Lamborghini would be difficult.

After all, this was a top-tier wealthy district—not just in name—and the people here rarely lacked vehicles for travel.

So this time, Zhan Yuyun came to the area not to pick up passengers but simply to take a drive and enjoy the renowned scenery of Xuanwu Mountain and Xuanwu Lake.

What he didn’t expect was that less than half an hour into his drive, he received a ride request from someone near the Xuanwu Zhongshan villa area via the Didi app.

That piqued his interest, and after a moment of hesitation, he accepted the ride and sped over.

He was quite curious to see just what kind of person would be taking a ride from such a top-tier wealthy district.
