Yangfang Hotpot.
A brand-new lamborghini aventador moved back and forth in the parking lot.
It immediately caused a crowd of people to stop and watch.
In a city like Shanghai.
Even a big bull was not a common sight.
The security guard at Yangfang Hotpot watched Zhou Xing as he operated the Lamborghini to park, feeling a bit anxious in his heart.
He wanted to step forward and park it for him.
But looking at this aggressive big bull, he felt intimidated and held back.
He could only keep giving directions.
"Right, right, right, turn the steering wheel all the way to the right."
"Back up, back up, back up..."
"Straighten the steering wheel."
"..."
After ten minutes had passed.
Zhou Xing finally got out of the car.
He locked the vehicle.
Even he couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed at this moment.
Although the Lamborghini was equipped with a 360-degree camera system, its chassis was simply too low.
The visibility was limited.
At the same time, Zhou Xing himself was a novice.
In his past life, after getting his driver's license, he had basically never touched a car.
Approaching thirty, he hadn't been able to buy his first car of his own.
This resulted in his skills... always being very rusty.
When driving, he didn't feel much, because the other cars on the road would proactively make way after seeing him.
It was like driving in his own living room.
When it came to parking, he ran into some trouble.
Zhou Xing, who had no cash, could only take two hundred in cash from Xiao Lanlan and hand it to the security guard: "Thanks, buddy."
The security guard took the cash, his face beaming with a smile: "You're welcome, Boss. When you're ready to drive out later, just let me know. Or I can help you move the other cars out of the way first, and then you can drive out."
Zhou Xing: "..."
Did he really think he was a cripple?
Parking was a bit difficult, but driving out—he could do that with his eyes closed.
He didn't say anything, just gave a faint nod, and then led Xiao Lanlan into a private room inside Yangfang Hotpot.
At this time, Yangfang Hotpot was not yet as popular as it would be in the future.
However, relying on its taste, high-end environment, and dishes, it was already somewhat famous.
Many people were also sitting in the main hall at this time.
"I didn't expect that you're so rich, yet your driving skills are so average."
Just as they sat down in the private room, Xiao Lanlan finally couldn't help it and burst out laughing with a 'pfft'.
Zhou Xing looked at her expressionlessly: "Do you think you're very humorous?"
"It's alright."
Xiao Lanlan wasn't frightened by Zhou Xing's expression; instead, her eyes curved into crescents as she gestured with her hand: "I think I'm a little bit humorous."
After an afternoon of contact, she had already figured out Zhou Xing's personality.
He was a very genial person.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't get angry or turn hostile.
So she could feel at ease joking with Zhou Xing.
Zhou Xing picked up the menu and started ordering.
He didn't ask Xiao Lanlan.
Xiao Lanlan didn't mind; instead, she thought that Zhou Xing's brand of machismo was actually quite considerate.
The prices of the dishes here were far too expensive.
She had only heard of it before and had never been here.
If he let her order, she really wouldn't know what to choose.
As the dishes were served one by one.
The hotpot steam rose up.
Xiao Lanlan also said with some emotion: "Today you've finally let me see what a truly rich person is like."
"It turns out the life of a rich person can be so unrestrained."
In the short half-day following Zhou Xing, her worldview had been completely refreshed.
Her horizons had also been greatly expanded, seeing many things she had never known before.
Zhou Xing picked up a piece of bamboo shoot, put it in his mouth, chewed a few times, and swallowed, saying with a smile: "Then do you want to live this kind of life?"
"Of course I do."
Xiao Lanlan pouted: "Who wouldn't want to live a wealthy life? In a city like Shanghai, having money makes you feel like you belong here; people without money only feel isolated by this city."
She muttered, seemingly venting her dissatisfaction with Shanghai.
"As I said before, with your conditions, it's very easy to be wealthy."
Zhou Xing smiled faintly.
After Xiao Lanlan understood the implication in his words, she fell silent for a long while without speaking.
Zhou Xing didn't push further.
Instead, he focused on filling his stomach... the hotpot meal lasted for nearly two hours.
The bill came to 3,621.
Xiao Lanlan exclaimed that it was exaggerated, but Zhou Xing didn't think much of it.
When Zhou Xing and Xiao Lanlan came out, it was already close to nine o'clock in the evening.
Shanghai was still brightly lit.
Yangfang Hotpot was becoming even more lively.
Zhou Xing took out the keys.
Unlocked and got into the car.
Then Xiao Lanlan also got in.
A beautiful woman in a luxury car.
Under the envious gazes of many pedestrians, Zhou Xing stepped on the gas and smoothly drove the car out.
This made the security guard, who had been waiting for a long time, feel it was a pity.
The big bull released its performance to its heart's content on the city roads.
Xiao Lanlan could see that this was not the road back to her home.
Because... Zhou Xing hadn't asked her where she lived at all.
'Vroom!'
The car drove straight into the entrance of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Lujiazui.
Just as he got out of the car, a bellboy came over, took the keys, and went to park his car.
Xiao Lanlan followed Zhou Xing into the hotel.
Zhou Xing stood at the front and said to the sweet-looking receptionist: "Please open a Presidential Suite for me."
The receptionist glanced at Zhou Xing's excessively young face and then asked: "Alright, our hotel's Presidential Suite is 68,000 per night. How many days would you like to book?"
"Let's book for 15 days first."
Zhou Xing handed over the card.
"With the discount here, the total cost for fifteen days is 720,000. I'll swipe your card now; please enter your password."
Seeing Zhou Xing casually swipe another 720,000, even though she had experienced his wild spending when buying the car in the afternoon, Xiao Lanlan couldn't help but be shocked again.
Buying a car is an asset, while housing is pure consumption.
But thinking of the ten-digit figure in Zhou Xing's bank account, if he wanted to, he could probably stay here until the end of time.
Not just Xiao Lanlan, even the receptionist working here was greatly impacted by this situation.
Very few people would choose to stay in a Presidential Suite for half a month at a time.
That was 720,000.
It was enough to buy an entry-level porsche.
So young, so handsome, and so tall—he was simply the perfect man of one's dreams.
Her heart was moved.
But when she saw Xiao Lanlan beside Zhou Xing, her gaze dimmed again.
A high-quality guy like Zhou Xing certainly wouldn't lack girls around him.
Xiao Lanlan's appearance was much more outstanding than hers.
"The room has been opened for you. Someone will take you up. Also, the suite includes a 24-hour private butler who will provide one-on-one personalized customized services."
"There is even an independent and private SPA room so that guests can enjoy a full-body relaxing SPA service without leaving the room."
"Welcome to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. We hope you have a pleasant stay and a truly unforgettable experience."
The receptionist suppressed the disappointment in her heart and smiled as she handed the room card into Zhou Xing's hand.
Zhou Xing took the room card and turned to walk toward the elevator.
But he was suddenly called out to by Xiao Lanlan: "Since you've already opened the room and it's getting late, I'll head home to rest first."
Just as she finished speaking.
Zhou Xing grabbed her hand.
Xiao Lanlan seemed a bit flustered: "You don't need to see me off, I can just take a taxi back myself."
But Zhou Xing just gazed at her and then said calmly.
"Stay here tonight."}],
