But based on the bits and pieces I overheard, I could guess a few things. They were definitely evenly matched.
It was hard to say whether RPC could actually win.
If I wanted a guaranteed victory, there was only one way: I had to play myself.
"It’s not a big deal. We can win."
Super Player was just gaining momentum. I had to strike while the iron was hot and make sure there were no slip-ups.
"That’s a relief. I have to plan this event carefully. Whether we can reach the next level all depends on this."
Qiu Yunong stood up and unzipped the back of her pencil skirt. "Sugar Daddy, shall we proceed to the next step?"
Qiu Yunong’s "work report" lasted for about an hour.
The report was conducted on the desk, the sofa, and the windowsill.
After leaving the company, it was about time.
Lin Jiang went home and switched to the Voice of the Dark Night. He slammed his foot on the gas, and the engine roared like a beast, sending a surge of adrenaline through him.
He drove to the law firm. After waiting a short while, he saw Qin Yangyang walk out, carrying her bag.
She was wearing a pink, waist-cinching blouse and a white pencil skirt, exuding an air of mature femininity.
But several other people came out with her. Qin Yangyang stood in the center, flanked by her colleagues.
Among them, Lin Jiang spotted a familiar face.
The day he’d gone to pick up Qin Yangyang, he’d run into a simp of a male colleague. This guy was right by her side again, talking animatedly about something.
Lin Jiang didn’t have much of an impression of him, only remembering his name was Ji Kun and that he’d been a lawyer for two and a half years.
Qin Yangyang’s attention was entirely on her other colleagues.
A few female colleagues were chatting and laughing, paying no mind to Ji Kun. He could only squeeze in a few words here and there, but he seemed to enjoy it, his enthusiasm undiminished.
BEEP BEEP BEEP—
Casually, Ji Kun pressed his car key. In the distance, the lights of a Bentley Bentayga flashed.
"Whoa!"
The female colleagues’ gazes were instantly drawn to it.
"Is that a Bentley? Ji Kun, is that your new car?" a female colleague with short hair asked in surprise.
"Yeah," Ji Kun nodded nonchalantly. "Just picked it up yesterday."
"I don’t think you’ve had your Panamera for very long, have you? You’re already getting a new car?"
"That car was a bit too flashy. We’re lawyers, so it’s better to be more mature and low-key. That’s why I switched to this SUV."
"Rich people are just built different. You don’t even care about a Panamera worth over a million," said the short-haired colleague.
"A car you’d just toss aside is the ultimate goal I’m striving for. The saying is true, comparisons are odious," a male colleague said self-deprecatingly.
"It’s not as exaggerated as you all make it sound. I just thought being a bit more grounded was better, I didn’t think too much about it."
"But it’s a Bentley! That must’ve cost a fortune."
’Finally, someone asked about the price,’ Ji Kun was secretly pleased.
"Over four million. Among SUVs, besides the Cullinan, this one’s the most expensive. A car like a Maybach has zero presence next to it."
He was still hung up on what happened at the high-speed rail station a few days ago. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have traded in his car for this one.
"A Maybach is definitely more impressive than a Panamera, but it’s no match for a Bentley. This car is just too cool."
"Yangyang, Ji Kun has been pursuing you for ages. He just drops over four million on a car like it’s nothing. He’s such a great catch, are you sure you don’t want to consider it?" the short-haired colleague played matchmaker.
"Not considering it. Not interested."
"Don’t be so quick to refuse. The man even changed his car just to seem more mature and stable for you. He did it to win your heart. You should at least give him a chance."
"Still not considering it. Just drop it."
As she spoke, Qin Yangyang looked around, searching for Lin Jiang’s car.
Just then, she saw a pitch-black sports car driving toward them.
"Holy shit! A Bugatti!"
Seeing the supercar approach, Ji Kun and the male colleague both stared at it. They were shocked to see the car pull up right in front of them.
"Hey, we meet again."
Lin Jiang rolled down the window and greeted Ji Kun.
Ji Kun’s eyes widened when he saw Lin Jiang.
"This car is yours?!"
"Wow, you’re amazing. How did you know this car cost 126 million?"
Ji Kun: ???
’When did I say how much this car cost?’
Wow!
And once again, a chorus of astonished gasps filled the air.
Qin Yangyang’s colleagues were all stunned.
They knew Bugattis were expensive, but they had no idea one could cost as much as 126 million.
Ji Kun’s Bentayga, worth over four million, wasn’t even worth a fraction of that.
"Your Bentayga is really cool. My Bugatti Voice of the Dark Night, a one-of-a-kind model worldwide, has so much less interior space compared to your car."
Lin Jiang shook his head. "A two-seater just can’t compare to a four-seater!"
PFFT!
Qin Yangyang’s colleagues couldn’t help but laugh. This guy was a master of sarcasm.
When it came to interior space, a sports car couldn’t even compare to a regular sedan, let alone an SUV!
"My boyfriend’s here to pick me up. I’m leaving now, bye-bye," Qin Yangyang said openly.
"Yangyang, didn’t you say you liked mature and stable guys?" Ji Kun said resentfully.
"My tastes changed. I decided I like cool sports cars after all."
Ji Kun grew even more resentful. "That’s not what you said when I was driving the Panamera."
"A Panamera isn’t a Bugatti, after all," Lin Jiang interjected.
"If you had been driving a Bugatti back then, things might have been different."
Ji Kun: ...
’If I had the money for a Bugatti, you think I wouldn’t be driving one?!’
Lin Jiang drove away with Qin Yangyang.
Neither of them gave Ji Kun a second thought. After all, they weren’t in the same league.
"This car is gorgeous. Super cool."
Qin Yangyang didn’t know much about cars, and she wasn’t particularly into them, but that didn’t stop her from thinking this one was incredibly handsome and cool.
"Buying such an expensive car must have emptied your wallet. I’ll take care of you tonight."
"Do I need to do anything?"
"I’m gonna hit you."
Lin Jiang chuckled. "What do you want to eat?"
"How about we get some crayfish? There’s a pretty good place at Henglong Square. We can go for a drive after we eat."
"No problem, you’re the boss."
He drove to Henglong Square and found the crayfish restaurant Qin Yangyang had mentioned.
The place was packed. They had to wait over twenty minutes for a table.
They each ordered what they wanted, and once the food arrived, they ate and chatted.
"I heard from Youyou that you went to the car show with Lu Chongyi?"
"Button up your shirt first, then we can talk."
Qin Yangyang glanced down and saw that a button on her blouse had come undone.
"Quick, quick, button it for me. My hands are greasy."
To make it easier for Lin Jiang, Qin Yangyang leaned forward slightly.
’This pose is hilarious. It’s like she’s offering to feed me.’
Lin Jiang realized that after a few "card games," this aloof female lawyer, Qin Yangyang, had become a bit wild on the inside.
"With that pose, it looks like you’re offering to feed me," Lin Jiang teased.
"Perv."
Lin Jiang reached out and buttoned Qin Yangyang’s blouse, and they returned to their previous conversation.
"Lu Chongyi and Youyou are classmates. They came back to the country together. He’s a decent guy. Since I’m a lawyer, he would consult me on legal matters, and we got to know each other over time."
Qin Yangyang said,
"Aside from having a bit of an eighth-grade syndrome, he’s great in other aspects. Otherwise, my mom wouldn’t let Youyou hang out with him."
"It seems like his family is even stricter than yours."
"Definitely. He once wanted to hire me to sue his own dad for violating labor laws. When his dad found out, he chewed him out."
Lin Jiang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Even the rich second generation has their own problems.
Since they weren’t drinking, they finished their meal after chatting for a while.
Qin Yangyang said gleefully, "Let’s go buy an outfit first. I want to be a hot girl tonight."
"A hot girl?"
"This outfit isn’t quite right for your sports car. I need to wear something hotter."
Lin Jiang sized Qin Yangyang up. "Are you sure you can pull it off?"
"Of course. Let’s go."
Qin Yangyang didn’t let Lin Jiang pay the bill, and Lin Jiang couldn’t be bothered to argue about it.
They had time before their movie started, so after paying, the two of them started wandering around Henglong Square.
After walking for a few minutes, Qin Yangyang stopped in her tracks. "Let’s check out this store."
Lin Jiang looked up. The store’s name was a string of English letters. The decor was very chic, and the clothes displayed in the window were very stylish.
After they went inside, Lin Jiang discovered it was a whole different world.
Besides women’s clothing, there was also a section selling lingerie. Most of it was openwork and lace—perfect for wearing during their "card games."
Once inside, Qin Yangyang started browsing, with Lin Jiang following beside her.
’I saw these last time I was here. I’ll buy them in a bit and see what they’re like!’
’He’ll definitely be in for a shock!’
