Chapter 169: 169
Back in the car, Bai Yaning asked, “What happened up ahead? Was it a bad crash? Should we call 120?”
“Ah, no need,” Wang Hao said, barely suppressing a laugh, “It’s just my two enemies who crashed into each other, and now they’re fighting, creating quite the spectacle…”
Hearing Wang Hao’s words, Bai Yaning’s mouth dropped open, “Two enemies… and they crashed into each other?”
“Oh, it’s unavoidable, let me tell you,” Wang Hao started to ramble, “When a person is down on their luck, even drinking water can get stuck in the teeth! These two guys normally don’t cross paths, but who would have thought they’d crash into each other? I’ve always said to drive carefully and safely, but they wouldn’t listen, what can you do? This is a case of a person with no foresight must face immediate worries…”
Bai Yaning: “…”
This guy really can turn anything into a long story… Let’s just go eat!
The two followed the main road to Hualong Xuan, where Bai Yaning parked the car, and they entered the elevator.
Inside the elevator, Wang Hao was actually pondering.
Normally, extremely bad luck involves two crises, so extremely good luck should also involve two major events. Whether Xiao Cangtian and Mr. Han’s fight counts as one event, though, even if that counts as one, where or in what form would the other event emerge? He was totally clueless.
Under a normal route, today should simply involve having meals with the drama crew in that order, but according to the normal effects of extreme good luck, these events don’t seem like they could turn into anything significant…
“What are you thinking about?” Bai Yaning asked curiously as they left the elevator, “You’ve been lost in thought since we got on; can you tell me?”
Do I even need to ask? Of course not! Today, the dice of luck rolled extremely good luck, so I’m waiting for a big event to happen—would you believe that?
“Ah, nothing much, just planning what to eat later,” Wang Hao said with a smile, walking alongside Bai Yaning, “Say whatever you want to eat, we can still afford a meal!” He raised the bank card in his hand, which had several hundred thousand in it!
Looking proudly pleased, Bai Yaning pressed her lips together and smiled, “Then I won’t hold back!”
Well, she really didn’t hold back. She casually ordered a few dishes, and Wang Hao only saw the bill when he swiped his card—3,668 yuan…
Tears ran as he thought ruefully that they might as well have gone for noodles instead…
The meal passed uneventfully, no mishaps occurred, and Wang Hao continually felt that something wasn’t right—It’s nearly one o’clock, where is this promised ‘big event’? Why hasn’t it arrived yet?
…
At 12:45 PM, in Hualong Xuan’s underground parking lot.
The roar of engines filled the air as a white Ferrari GTC4Lusso led the way, followed by an Audi R8 and a BMW i8 among a total of four luxury cars pulling up and parking side by side.
The leader of the pack, the young man from the Ferrari, stepping out, was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with short hair, sharp facial features, well-balanced muscles, and striking abs. He was Fang Wenbin from one of the four major families!
The people from the other three sports cars also got out, two men and a woman, all of whom were Fang Wenbin’s followers.
“Brother Wen Bin,” one of them approached Fang Wenbin and smiled, “This new ride of yours is just too cool! After we eat, you have to let me have a go in it!” This was Li Mingzhe, Fang Wenbin’s top lackey who had been the first to confront Wang Hao in their last drama crew encounter.
The other two nodded in agreement, the woman adding excitedly, “Yes, yes, I’ve been drooling over this model for a long time, but it’s just too expensive to buy.”
“Definitely,” Li Mingzhe laughed, “This is an Agusta AW109E! Costs a total of fifty-five million! With a maximum takeoff weight of three tonnes and a top cruising speed of three hundred kilometers per hour, it can accommodate eight people including the pilot! It’s not a child’s toy, ah, just thinking about that deafening propeller sound gives me goosebumps!”
“Country bumpkin, never seen the world,” Fang Wenbin teased and then added, “But speaking of which, I’m really curious about the look on Zhao Zhenhao’s face when he hears that I bought a plane, hehe.”
“I can already imagine his dumbfounded face when the time comes,” Li Mingzhe laughed and then asked, “By the way, Brother Wen Bin, is it easy to fly this helicopter? Is it difficult to learn?”
“Harder than driving,” Fang Wenbin boasted with a smirk, “But not too hard.”
“Hehe, Brother Wen Bin, now that you’ve bought this thing, you have a great reason to invite Miss Ice Princess,” Li Mingzhe laughed, “She never came out before no matter how you invited her, but this time it should be no problem, right? A private jet, flying together in the sky, how cool!”
“Do you even need to say that,” the girl said, “Brother Wen Bin has even prepared the wine, Romanee Conti, just waiting to drink with Miss Ice Princess!”
“Not so easy,” Fang Wenbin, however, gently shook his head and sighed, “Miss Ice Princess’s family background is not just a notch above mine. Buying this toy might work to show off to Zhao Zhenhao, but it’s nothing compared to her family. Her family owns a Hawker 800XP, one hundred and fifty million per plane, and they have two of them.”
Li Mingzhe exclaimed, “Hawker 800XP! Is that the one with ten seats and a top speed of 850 kilometers?”
“Exactly,” Fang Wenbin nodded, “Two of them!”
Li Mingzhe immediately felt overwhelmed…
Actually, when you think about it, be it Fang Wenbin or Zhao Zhenhao, which one of them isn’t worth billions? If we’re just talking about beauties, setting aside the most beautiful woman of the Heavenly People’s Republic, they could have any number of stars they want, right? But why are they so obsessed with Ice Princess Bai Yaning? Apart from her personality and looks, isn’t it because of her family background?
To put it bluntly, marrying her means reaching the pinnacle of life instantly!
As they were talking, a Jaguar quickly drove into the parking lot and stopped beside them, revealing Zhao Zhenhao’s face, “Fang Wenbin, you mysteriously asked me to meet here, what, want to treat me to a meal?”
The two had had their frictions while pursuing the Ice Princess, so naturally, they had words to exchange upon meeting.
“Ah, actually it’s not as complicated as you think,” Fang Wenbin laughed heartily, reaching out his hand first, “Haven’t seen you for days, I can’t forget the image of that octopus face you pulled last time!”
Fang Wenbin thought these words might provoke Zhao Zhenhao a bit, but Zhao Zhenhao didn’t take it to heart at all, “It doesn’t matter, some people wish they had the chance to be an octopus—although my image last time wasn’t great, Miss Ice Princess had a lot of fun, she didn’t make fun of me at all. So, what do you really want to see me for?”
“You!” That hit a sore spot for Fang Wenbin, he got angry for a moment, but quickly resumed his rich playboy demeanor, smiling, “Actually, it’s nothing, didn’t I hear that your family recently discovered a tomb? I was thinking of asking you to go on an adventure, what do you think?”
“Are you talking about the tomb my family discovered on Taining Mountain?” Zhao Zhenhao thought for a moment, then said, “That tomb is indeed large in scale, but it’s in the mountains, how would we get there?”
“Ah, that’s simple,” Fang Wenbin said proudly, “Would I dare to suggest it if I didn’t have a plan? I just bought a plane, an Agusta AW109E, just thought of inviting you to check it out together.”
“Agusta AW109E!” Hearing this name, Zhao Zhenhao was stunned!
As a member of one of the four major families, he was naturally no stranger to such truly extravagant toys! In fact, he had long coveted this particular model of Agusta AW109E, but his family had always refused to sponsor him. Unexpectedly, Fang Wenbin had beaten him to it!
“I thought there was some issue,” Zhao Zhenhao was stunned for a moment, then sneered, “So you came to show off your plane to me, right?”
“Don’t put it so harshly, I just got it and was happy, good things are meant to be shared with friends, right?” Although Fang Wenbin was outwardly modest, inside he was thrilled, secretly thinking, “Hahaha, you always used to show off in front of me, and now I’ve finally got one up on you!”
“Well then, let me congratulate you first,” Zhao Zhenhao smiled slightly, but his mind was racing, “No way, I lost face in front of this guy last time, if he outshines me again, where will I put my face? But I don’t have anything to show off right now, and although the company is doing well, his business isn’t any worse, what should I do?”
