After Chen Mengyan left, Su Chen started thinking about his luxury car. Based on the information provided by the system, he indeed found the Aston Martin DBX707 key in the cabinet next to the entrance.
A man's three greatest hobbies are nothing more than cars, guns, and sports!
Looking at the Aston Martin DBX707 key in his hand, Su Chen wasn't particularly impressed. The oval design and partial crystal casing gave it a simple feel. After playing
with it for a while, Su Chen couldn't wait to go to the garage to see his first luxury car
. Su Chen had learned from his conversation with Chen Mengyan that his house had five private parking spaces, so he figured his car was parked there.
"Where is my Aston Martin?!" Su Chen muttered to himself.
Soon, Su Chen arrived at his private parking space, where a yellow SUV was quietly parked.
"Wow, this color is so cool!"
The all-yellow exterior was simply irresistible to Su Chen.
As for the Aston Martin's configuration and design, Su Chen was completely clueless.
For someone who was struggling to make ends meet just yesterday, an Aston Martin was something he couldn't even dream of; at most, he could only watch related videos online to satisfy his curiosity.
Su Chen's initial idea was to earn some money and buy a car worth a few hundred thousand yuan for commuting.
After circling the Aston Martin several times, he finally opened the door and got in, satisfied.
The interior was a bit special, a two-tone design, with Phantom Gray and Ivory White, creating a striking contrast with the yellow exterior.
"Damn, where do I start this car?!" Su Chen looked around the steering wheel but couldn't find the electronic start button.
After searching for a while, Su Chen finally discovered that the start button was actually on the center console.
Okay, Su Chen knew he was a bit out of touch!
"DBX707 start!" Su Chen shouted in a very childish way, pressing his index finger on the start button.
"Vroom~ Vroom~"
The distinctive roar of an Aston Martin instantly filled the garage, and Su Chen felt goosebumps rise all over his hands.
The sheer awe he felt... Su Chen couldn't find the words to describe it.
"It's so cool!"
Su Chen gripped the steering wheel tightly, muttering, "Slowly release the brake, gently press the accelerator!"
The Aston Martin DBX707 slowly pulled out of the parking space.
Although Su Chen had come to Shanghai to make his way in the world after graduating high school, it didn't stop him from getting his driver's license.
He had to thank his first job—a night shift security guard. Although the pay wasn't high, there was a lot of free time, especially during the night shift when he could even sleep.
He remembered a security guard uncle giving him some pointers, saying that having more skills meant having more options.
So Su Chen worked the night shift, slept, and went to driving school during the day, getting his license in less than two months.
As for being nervous about driving, firstly, Su Chen hadn't driven for several years after getting his license, and secondly, with an Aston Martin worth millions, he was understandably upset if he bumped or damaged it.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous at first, but after driving for a while, Su Chen gradually found his rhythm.
His speed increased from 70 mph to 80 mph, then to 90 mph, and his hand movements became more controlled.
Right hand gripping the steering wheel, left hand resting on the car window, fingers half-curled, feeling the caress of the wind.
"Hmm~ C should be here now!"

7:15 PM!
Hao You Lai Food Stall!
"Wei-ge, why hasn't that bastard Chenzi shown up yet? Did he stand us up? Did he just pack up and run away this afternoon?"
"Yeah, it was supposed to be 7 o'clock, it's been fifteen minutes past now, even the waiter has come to ask several times if we want our food served. Wei-ge, why don't you call Chen-ge and ask?"
Yang Wei frowned upon hearing this. This restaurant was incredibly popular, especially at night when it was practically impossible to get a table.
If it weren't for the fact that their small group often ate here, they would have already made them vacate their private room.
This afternoon, when Su Chen posted the location, he had specifically called Su Chen to confirm the time and place.
He never expected that the person in charge would be late!
Could something have happened? After all, as delivery drivers with many years of experience, they had a basic sense of punctuality.
"I'll call Su Chen and see if anything happened on the way."
Yang Wei had barely finished speaking and hadn't even dialed the number when the door to the private room opened, and Su Chen peeked in.
"Sorry, I was exhausted from cleaning the rented room this afternoon, so I took a nap. I didn't expect to sleep until after six, and then I got stuck in traffic on the way here!"
"Hey... Chenzi, you're finally here! We've been waiting for you forever!" The speaker was none other than his few good friends, Haozi.
"Brother Chen x2"
The two men calling him Brother Chen were Li Chao and Liang San, two or three years younger than Su Chen, who had also started working after graduating high school.
Su Chen was practically a mentor to Li and Liang, teaching them a lot of experience, just as Yang Wei had taught him.
Their small group consisted of only five people, all from the Sichuan-Chongqing region; after all, sticking together is the most basic survival rule when you're traveling.
After a brief chat, Su Chen called the waiter to start serving the food.
"I just ordered a few dishes, I don't know if you'll like them. If there's anything you want, just ask the waiter to add it. Don't worry about saving money, the only goal today is to eat and drink well!"
"Brother Chen is so generous~"
"Thank you for spending money today, Brother Chen!"
Seeing their excitement, Yang Wei took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to each person before turning to Su Chen and asking, "Is everything packed in the rented room? Are you planning to leave tomorrow?"
Su Chen took the cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and slowly said, "Everything's packed. I'm not leaving yet. I plan to stay in Shanghai for a few more days. I've been in Shanghai for so many years, but I haven't had a proper look at this international metropolis. I plan to spend a couple of days wandering around and broadening my horizons."
Su Chen wasn't in a hurry to go back to his hometown, after all, his grandmother's birthday banquet was in the middle of next month, about twenty days away, so he still had plenty of time.
"You should really take a good look around. After this parting, I don't know if we'll ever have a chance to meet again!" Middle-aged people tend to feel melancholic, and Yang Wei was no exception.
"It'll definitely happen, and I believe it won't be long!" Su Chen said, a smile playing on his lips.
"I wonder if Wei Ge and the others will be shocked by how much I've changed when we meet again!" Thinking this, Su Chen's smile widened even further!
