Hailong was afraid that Li Guohui wouldn't speak, so he took the initiative to say, "Miss, our boss has always been so rich, didn't you know? When he came back from Myanmar, our boss made a lot of money, so he started this company. In recent years, we've been apart more than together, and the boss didn't know what kind of person you are now, so he wanted to test whether you really love him. Alas, what a pity, people's hearts are hard to fathom. You've indeed changed your heart. So, our boss put on that act to get you to leave early, so as not to affect his search for true love."
The woman, at this moment, didn't care about arguing with Hailong. She asked in a shrill voice, "Li Guohui, tell me, what's going on?"
Li Guohui said in a showy manner, "The truth is just as my driver said. And the fact proves that testing you was a wise decision. You are indeed a bitch. Get lost. I still have to talk business with the mayor."
After saying that, Li Guohui reversed and then accelerated out of the Mercedes-Benz 4S store. No matter how the woman chased, Li Guohui didn't look back, leaving only the dust raised by the car. Seeing the woman fall to the ground and cry uncontrollably, Hailong couldn't help but sigh, "Now you regret it, don't you? What did you do earlier? Such a good man, who even risked his life to go to Myanmar as a mercenary to support you, and you abandoned him when he became poor and disabled, and went to cling to a rich man. Bitch, you're really not a good person. Seeing your sour and sharp look just now, if I hadn't pretended to be the driver to let Li Guohui off, who knows how much you would have insulted him. Now that he's rich, you actually want Li Guohui to love you again. Do you think you're a fairy? Where did such a perfect person come from?"
Seeing the woman sitting on the road, sobbing uncontrollably, the short, stout man felt very embarrassed. He angrily came to the woman's side, one hand choking her neck, and the other hand slapped her twice. After the two slaps, blood flowed from the woman's mouth. Looking at the heavily made-up woman, he said, "Bitch, look clearly. You are my woman now. It was me who bought you the car. If you don't think about how to please me, do you want to die?"
Hearing this, Hailong felt amused. He didn't expect the man to be a gangster. After beating the woman, the man paid and immediately drove away with her, probably not expecting a good time at home either.
Seeing the farce end, the manager came to Hailong and said, "Boss, where should the remaining four cars be placed?"
Hailong said, "I'll tell you the location. Have the staff drive the cars to the designated location. When they get there, my men will take over the cars." The manager nodded in understanding.
Just as Hailong was about to leave, he suddenly heard a familiar voice. Someone was calling him "brother." Hailong turned around and said in surprise, "Sis, what are you doing here?" The person who came was Hu Jing.
Originally, Hu Jing was going out to play with her dorm mate today, but her dorm mate brought her cousin and Sun Bo along. The dorm mate told everyone that Sun Bo was going to buy a car and asked them to help him choose. Upon hearing that he was buying a car, and a Mercedes at that, everyone happily followed Sun Bo to the Mercedes-Benz 4S store.
When they arrived, Sun Bo went straight to the Mercedes-Benz B-Class, the cheapest car in the Mercedes line. Hu Jing and the others helped him choose, so everything that happened to Hailong was seen by Hu Jing and the others. The dorm mate said to Hu Jing, "Third Sister, didn't you say Hailong is a pianist at 1913? Why is he now a driver?"
Hu Jing didn't expect that Hailong, who didn't go to class every day, was working as a driver. She felt a bit uncomfortable and annoyed. She couldn't believe that Hailong would become a driver. A student from Donghai University, a top university, becoming a driver was a huge loss of face. Seeing everyone looking at her, Hu Jing felt embarrassed for the first time because of Hailong. But then she thought that Hailong was doing this to make her life better, and she felt guilty towards him.
Seeing Hu Jing's expression, Hailong knew he was in trouble. They were all college students, at an age where they liked to compare and be vain. He had always told Hu Jing that he was a pianist at 1913, and she had always told her classmates and friends that. But today, she saw him pretending to be someone else's driver, which made it hard for her to save face in front of her friends. Seeing the disdainful expressions of the people behind Hu Jing, Hailong knew they would mock her when they got back.
When the farce ended, Hu Jing and the others came to Hailong's side. The dorm mate said to Hailong, "Hailong, why are you working as a driver? It's such a loss of face."
Hailong didn't expect to run into Hu Jing and the others here. Although the dorm mate's words were a bit sharp, she was Hu Jing's dorm mate, and Hailong didn't want to conflict with her. He smoothly said, "How is it a loss of face? I don't have much status anyway." Indeed, they were all ordinary people. Why pretend? The dorm mate was helpless at Hailong's thick-skinned response.
Hailong asked, "Why are you here?"
The dorm mate pointed behind Hailong. Hailong turned around and saw a white Mercedes slowly stopping behind him. The former student council president, Sun Bo, had just gotten out of the car. Seeing Sun Bo's cool demeanor, the dorm mate pulled Hu Jing and pointed, deliberately saying, "So handsome."
Then she said to Hailong, "Our student council president is buying a car, and we came to help him choose." Hu Jing nodded in agreement.
Hailong thought, "Why should it be your business that he's buying a car? It's like you're the ones buying it."
But he smiled and said, "Really? Our Sun president is so rich, buying a 230,000 RMB Mercedes." He thought, "He has the nerve to drive a 230,000 RMB Mercedes, not ashamed of the embarrassment."
Just then, Sun Bo got out of the car and said to Hailong, "Hehe, I don't have that ability. It's all my family's money. I'm not like our brother Hailong, who earns money to support his family." This was a blatant show of being a rich second generation.
Hailong clearly felt the admiration for Sun Bo and the disdain for himself from the others. This made Hailong helpless, but he couldn't tell them that he was rich. First, he hadn't paid taxes on the money he earned from selling crabs, and if others found out, he would be accused of tax evasion. Second, he didn't have a business license and was using Liu Yong'an's and others' licenses, which wouldn't stand up to scrutiny. Third, Guan Daqiu's return was imminent, and he didn't have the energy to play around with them. If Hu Jing and the others found out about his earning ability, they would insist on seeing it. If a battle broke out at that time, Hailong was afraid Hu Jing would get hurt. So, he could only listen helplessly to Sun Bo's show of wealth.
Sun Bo said, "Let's have lunch together. We'll go to 1913."
Hailong, who was already annoyed with Sun Bo, didn't want to have lunch with him. But Hu Jing begged him to go, and seeing her pitiful eyes, Hailong had to agree.
At 1913, Hailong said, "Feel free, I'll treat you." After paying for five cars, Hailong's card had about 2,000 RMB left. But with seven people at 1913, even if they ate to their heart's content, it wouldn't exceed 1,500 RMB. Hailong wasn't worried. Sun Bo said, "I'll treat you. Don't argue with me. I feel bad for troubling all the beautiful ladies today."
Hailong wasn't sure what Sun Bo was up to, but he felt that Sun Bo was after one of the girls.
The meal was awkward for Hailong. When it came time to pay, Hailong wanted to pay, but seeing the dishes on the table, he knew the price would definitely exceed 2,000 RMB. With only 2,000 RMB in his pocket, he couldn't pay. Just as Hailong was about to call his mother, Sun Bo quickly came over and said, "How can we let you pay when we're from the student council? I'll treat you." He took out 3,000 RMB. If it were someone else paying, it would be fine, but Hailong couldn't agree to Sun Bo paying because he had already noticed that Sun Bo was after Hu Jing. Sun Bo kept trying to talk to Hu Jing during the meal, so Hailong was sure that this guy was after his wife. Therefore, he couldn't let Sun Bo pay.
Just as they were arguing, Hailong suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder. He turned around and saw an old man who looked familiar. The old man said, "Since Hailong is treating his friends, today's meal is on the house." He gave Hailong a meaningful look. Although Hailong didn't know who the old man was, he could tell he was helping him. He immediately said, "Old sir, you're too kind. I feel embarrassed."
The old man laughed and said, "I said I would treat you when we met again. How can I go back on my word?" Hailong suddenly realized that this was the old man who had come to eat crabs at the beach. He laughed and said, "Old sir, you're a man of your word." His words were full of meaning.
Hailong was extremely pleased. He almost lost face in front of Hu Jing, but the old man suddenly appeared and saved him. He thought, "You think you're rich, showing off in front of me. I'll have the meal on the house. See how you can show off now."
Sun Bo, holding the money, said awkwardly, "I didn't expect you to have such influence, Hailong. You can even get a free meal here." Sun Bo was very upset. He wanted to give Hailong a hard time, but he didn't expect someone to help Hailong and resolve the awkward situation.
Seeing the old man walk away, the fourth sister in the dorm, weakly said, "Wasn't that the old man?" She showed a free magazine, pointing to the cover, which featured Li Wanhu, the owner of 1913 and the richest man in the area. Everyone felt dizzy.
Hu Jing was also confused and said, "Yes, that old man is the owner of 1913. What's your relationship with him?"
Hailong just smiled and didn't say anything. Sun Bo and his group left after the meal. Before leaving, a girl next to Sun Bo told Hu Jing that there was an activity for the women's department on the weekend, and she should come early to prepare the venue.
