Wei Shao smiled and threw his arms around Shi Lei’s shoulders, and said: “If you don’t want them to call you Shi Shao, then don’t be polite with me. Wei Shao, it’s fine if they call me that, but even you? Or do you also think that my name, Wei Qing, is too girly?”
Shi Lei was speechless, thinking that he didn’t even know his full name. This Scepter, why couldn’t it tell me this kind of things first?
But this time, Shi Lei was really misunderstanding the Scepter. Because the millionaire card counted as a natural day, which is the midnight of the first day till the midnight of the second day. To these rich kids, their night life had just began at midnight. So, usually, after the millionaire card activates at midnight, Wei Qing, as the medium, would pick up Shi Lei on the way and go to a place to enjoy night life. Maybe a bar, maybe a party, or a quiet place to chat and drink together. Under a one on one private conservation, it would be the chance for Shi Lei to get to know him.
But because Shi Lei activated the card at 10am, the process prior to that was ignored. The Scepter did pay some attention to at least let Shi Lei know how to address Wei Qing, and act as if they held a close relationship.
“Don’t be like this, am I not trying to show my respect to you?” Shi Lei probably knew that he won’t be exposed, he pretended to joke lightly.
Wei Qing kicked him and swore with a laugh: “This guy, are you gonna die for not roasting me? If you are gonna be like this, I’m leaving!”
Shi Lei hurried up and apologised: “My bad, my bad!”
Everyone laughed. Finally, Shi Lei told them about his bet with Wu Haoyuan. When he just began to tell the story, everyone seemed to lack interest as they thought that Shi Lei used his background to show off to some kid whom they didn’t even know about. Even if it was so one sided, but it was boring. It was just because Wei Qing contacted them that they came to support him.
But when he talked about the bet, as he expected, these people are princes and princesses who only come in contact with people of the same social class, that even if they had great grudges, they would not make a big fuss on the surface. So when Shi Lei said the loser will swim in the lake naked, and need to shout ‘I’m an idiot’ on the shore, they were suddenly excited and laughed, finally thinking that it was worth it to wake up early to come here.
“Shitou, you are too cruel! Even if this guy’s nothing, but after this, how can he still socialise in this circle? Even his family may be influenced by this.” Someone laughed in the crowd.
Shi Lei twitched his lips and said: “This really wasn’t my idea. That dude thought he’d definitely won, so he wanted me to embarrass myself as much as possible. I was forced to agree!”
Wei Qing pushed Shi Lei on the shoulder and bursted out laughing: “Stop kidding me! This was your trap and you forced him into it step by step, right? Don’t pretend to be innocent with me, do you think I don’t know who you are?!”
Shi Lei was innocent and shrugged: “Seriously, nope. I feel wronged, too. Honestly, I really didn’t know that he would go as far as this. Too ferocious.”
Everyone laughed, then Shi Lei’s phone rang.
After he checked, Shi Lei shushed everyone and everyone knew that Wu Haoyuan was calling Shi Lei as he was almost there.
“Shi Lei, where the hell are you? I’m here, how come I don’t see you? I’m telling you, if you don’t show up today, I’m going to fucking amputate your leg!”
As soon as the call connected, he was greeted by furious swearing from the other side of the phone.
Shi Lei may be slightly intimidated by these fuerdai, but he knew how to deal with people like Wu Haoyuan perfectly well.
“What the hell are you screaming at, a toad’s voice is too loud. I hope the engines of the cars you bring will be as loud as this! I’m already here a long time ago, where are you?”
“You said in front of the park, I’m here waiting for you. Don’t trip over in fear when you see it later……” Wu Haoyuan’s voice sounded malicious and arrogant, which seems like the cars he called may be better than what he expected.
“Ok, just wait 2 minutes.” Shi Lei hung up after that. He told those excited fuerdai: “He’s in front of the park, let’s drive down a bit more? We’ll save them the trouble of running away after they come up and see us.”
Everyone went on their cars and Wei Qing threw his car keys to Shi Lei: “Drive my car!”
Although he didn’t know which car was Wei Qing’s, but since everyone else already went in their car, and Wei Qing went into the Koenigsegg, Shi Lei guided Sun Yiyi to the Maserati GT.
Although he knew how to drive and got his driver’s license before university, but it took him a while to figure out the inside of the car. After he stepped on the accelerator, the engine let out a roar. Shi Lei felt refreshed by the sound it. He switched gears, stepped on the accelerator and the Maserati shot out lightly.
As the team of cars wanted to follow, Wei Qing suddenly blocked them with his car. He stuck his head out of the window and said: “Let’s go out a few minutes later.” The others took a second to think, but they immediately understand what he meant.
Wei Qing’s car was the cheapest out of all eight at the price of about three million, which is the entrance level for them. The reason that Wei Qing didn’t let Shi Lei drive the Koenigsegg, but his car, was so that Shi Lei could go out first. If Wu Haoyuan’s car could not even win against that Maserati, then the win would be boring. He wanted to see if at least one of Wu Haoyuan’s car could compete against Shi Lei, so when he sees Shi Lei alone with that three million Maserati, he would definitely be strutting and boasting.
Then, Wei Qing and the rest would appear one expensive car after another. After the Koenigsegg appears, they would probably want to die.
Shi Lei was indulged in the happiness of driving a three million luxurious car, and didn’t realise that the rest of them didn’t follow up. He turned at the corner and saw a group of cars in front of the park.
Wu Haoyuan was scanning the place around him. Although he thought that Shi Lei may be too scared to appear, but since he knew for certain that Shi Lei will show up, Wu Haoyuan wondered what kind of cars Shi Lei could bring.
He noticed Shi Lei as soon as he turned at the corner, and saw Sun Yiyi sitting on the front passenger seat. Maserati GT? This guy really did spent a lot of time on it. Where did he borrow it from? From a wedding service company? But the car plate seemed to be a local one in Wu Dong.
Wu Haoyuan turned around and looked at his team of cars. Six cars were his max. His Bumblebee was obviously the worst. A Porsche at 890,000 yuan. A Benz SL, which is a little over a million. A Lotus, which is 1.3 million. An Audi R8, 1.8 million. Although these were not as valuable as Shi Lei’s car, but the key point was that Wu Haoyuan had an Aston Martin at 3.5 million.
And this car didn’t have high or low configurations, so even if Shi Lei’s Maserati GT is of top disposition, but it won’t be as good as the Aston Martin.
