Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 589: Chapter 582: You Gotta Know Whom to Show Off To

”So, could you please ask for one more day off for me today, wife?” After some thought, Lin Zifeng decided it was best to call her ’wife’ to prevent himself from being treated unfairly and without rights again.

”Go ahead and take my Lamborghini,” Nangong Bing said indifferently, without even lifting her head.

”Haha, having a wife is so wonderful!” Lin Zifeng laughed joyously, promptly slapping on some flattery with a grin.

The woman said nothing, eating her breakfast expressionlessly, but inside she was overjoyed.

This time, she had finally gotten a bit of recognition from someone; after all, she was a director at Tianyu Group.

She should have some face, right?

...

After saying goodbye to the Queen, Lin Zifeng didn’t linger since Shao Huo needed the car. He didn’t find it excessive—after all, they were brothers.

How could he say anything when his brother was in trouble?

Driving the Queen’s new Lamborghini was indeed impressive.

Driving down the street, he didn’t know how many girls he had attracted.

Lin Zifeng remembered seeing a news clip last time.

A thirty-year-old man, driving a luxury car worth three million, would stop for any beautiful woman he saw on the dark nights and ask if she wanted to get in the car.

The result of the follow-up experiment with twenty beautiful women was a success rate of ninety-five percent; only a few didn’t get in the car, and the rest didn’t even hesitate before jumping in.

In this society, things are just too damn materialistic; Lin Zifeng hoped Shao Huo’s girlfriend-to-be wasn’t like that.

Soon, he saw Shao Huo standing at the school gates, waving vigorously at Lin Zifeng. Spotting Lin Zifeng from afar, Shao Huo hurried over with a beaming smile, offering a cigarette worth ten yuan: ”Damn! Boss, you’re too awesome. I thought you’d drive that two million worth mini sports car from last time, but today, you’ve got a Lamborghini, the supercar known around the world! Geez, boss, how much does this car cost?”

Having never personally experienced such a luxury car before, it spoke volumes about how glamorous Nangong Bing, the lavish Queen, must be on her usual commutes to work.

This car must be worth at least a million, and it’s even a limited edition from around the world.

However, Nangong Bing doesn’t always drive it to work; it’s too eye-catching, not always a good thing.

Shao Huo kept leaning his head towards the car, mouth open in an O shape as he gently touched the body, as if caressing his own wife.

Although a bit mean-spirited at heart, he was actually a pretty decent guy, outwardly sleazy but often wearing a carefree smile.

”Off you go, I borrowed this car. Today, you’re picking up your girlfriend, and you have to make a good first impression. Don’t lose face,” Lin Zifeng handed him a whole pack of cigarettes as he said, laughing.

”Take this pack of Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes with you for appearances, but don’t try too hard to show off. When courting a girl, honesty matters. A relationship based solely on material things is not destiny, it’s suffering. You should see what kind of person the girl is, don’t overplay your hand.”

”Thanks, Lin, thanks a lot,” Shao Huo was moved again, tears swirling in his eyes. This was the first time anyone had been so kind to him, and even lent him such an expensive car to make a statement. Anyone else wouldn’t have given him the time of day.

”So, what’s the girl like? Why did you suddenly want to borrow my car today?” Lin Zifeng asked.

”The girl is pretty nice. We’ve been chatting on QQ for over half a year. I’ve always been too cowardly to confess, feeling too unworthy back then. But recently, I gathered the courage to tell her, and surprisingly, she accepted my confession!”

Clearly, for Shao Huo, the feeling of falling in love for the first time in life was indeed thrilling and exciting.

Especially for someone like him who had lived a bleak life in his earlier years, it was very special and exhilarating.

”She didn’t even ask about your family background and just casually accepted your confession?”

Lin Zifeng deeply exhaled a smoke ring, his deep and hollow eyes flickering with a few strands of odd brilliance.

From his perspective, he had seen far too many women abroad.

Almost any kind of woman—he could tell if they were good or bad at first glance.

To agree so quickly to a relationship just by chatting on QQ online, and since everyone is an adult, there’s no need to be so childish, right?

They haven’t even met face to face, so how could there be any feelings?

The kind of love Lin Zifeng least believed in was the kind where they hadn’t even met face to face.

What is love?

Dogs eating meat? Ultraman fighting little monsters?

All this is bullshit, just games played by rich people, second-generation wealthy folks. The poor? Ha, don’t even think about it.

Just earnestly find someone, anyone, and that’s enough.

”She did ask,” Shao Huo replied solemnly, embarrassed to say, ”I told her that my parents are self-employed in Zhonghai City and that our family conditions were not bad.”

”Your lie is a bit too big, haven’t you considered that maybe she is with you because of your family background?” Lin Zifeng said seriously, ”One should be honest. Even if you can’t give her the future she wants, you should still be sincere.” After saying that, Lin Zifeng didn’t go on rambling.

It was apparent that Shao Huo himself came from a not-so-well-off family, and his self-confidence was quite ordinary, all stemming from selfish motives.

”I know, but I really like her. This is the first time I’ve ever been in love with a girl as I grew up. I am very serious, and I believe she is too. As long as I work hard for a few more years, I am confident that I can ensure a good future for her,” Shao Huo said excitedly.

”Ensure a future?” Lin Zifeng felt a hint of bitterness. Sometimes, even though you know a path is a dead end, you still persist in walking it; perhaps that’s life.

”Yeah, I believe our future will get better and better. I trust her, and she trusts me,” Shao Huo confidently asserted, thumping his chest.

”Okay, it’s good to have confidence, but being honest is still the most important,” Lin Zifeng said with a smile.

Soon, as Shao Huo had suggested, the two of them drove up in a trendy, cool, over-the-top luxury car valued at a small fortune, and when they appeared at the Zhonghai City South Station, it instantly stunned everyone at the station!

What, a joke!

Even if one didn’t know how much the car was worth, just by looking at its appearance, even a fool could tell how much it must cost.

Lin Zifeng didn’t think much of it.

But Shao Huo was different. He had lived in a poor family since he was young, and this time, having the chance to hang out with Lin Zifeng, this guy’s ability to show off was hardly less than any of those rich second-generation kids.

In Shao Huo’s words, showing off depends on the audience.
