Chapter 41: Rich Second Generation?

Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Rich Second Generation?

On the round table, apart from Liu Yiyi, the other three each had a wine decanter and a small shot glass in front of them.

Li Yan took the initiative to propose the first toast.

"Mr. Su successfully picked up his car today.

"For this first glass, I wish you safe travels and peace on all your future drives."

As her voice fell, Liu Yiyi picked up her water glass and stood up. Old Wang, frozen in shock, stood up mechanically and lightly clinked his glass with the other three before draining it in one gulp.

He sucked in a sharp breath.

This liquor tasted far more bitter than usual.

If he understood the situation correctly, that Panamera they saw earlier was a gift to Su from this sugar mommy. Just what kind of spell had he cast on her? That was a luxury car with plenty of modified parts; it must have cost at least a million to get it on the road. Should he go to South Korea for plastic surgery and enter this line of work too? Turning a hobby into a career would certainly be a beautiful thing.

Seeing Old Wang zoning out, Su Yunzhou picked up a piece of shrimp with his chopsticks and said, "What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and eat."

After a few bites, Liu Yiyi stood up, her figure swaying gracefully. She proposed the second toast with a hint of teasing in her tone.

"Congratulations to President Su for buying a Panamera in full."

The group raised their glasses again. But to Old Wang, it felt like he wasn’t drinking liquor; he was drinking sorrow.

He lamented inwardly, "Paid in full? Good heavens! Why didn’t God bless me with a special talent?"

Seeing the two women’s gazes turn toward him, Old Wang snapped back to reality and raised his glass.

"For this third glass, here’s to Su... President Su. Congratulations on the new luxury car. I wish you smooth sailing at work, steady promotions, and wealth pouring in every day..."

Liu Yiyi joked, "You should change your toast. Su Yunzhou hasn’t been working for a while now. You could say he’s quite wealthy in his own right. Besides, if you make a tycoon go to work, what are we ordinary people supposed to do? You should penalize yourself with a drink."

"Huh?" Old Wang gasped aloud, his pupils trembling in shock as he sensitively caught onto a few key words. "Not working? Quite wealthy? Su Tycoon?"

He wondered what on earth was going on. Had he completely misread the situation?

"What are you guys talking about?" he asked blankly. "Why don’t I understand a single thing?"

Su Yunzhou smiled and raised his glass to rescue him from the awkwardness.

"Come on! Don’t look for excuses to avoid drinking!"

With a light clink of their glasses, they all sat down and continued to feast. Old Wang was the only one eating without tasting a thing. As he carefully pieced all the clues together, he finally stumbled upon a mind-boggling truth.

He thought, "But... if that’s true, then doesn’t my entire earlier performance make me look like a total clown?"

Looking at the attitudes of those two "sugar mommies," the more he thought about it, the more it made sense. He cursed his preconceived notions for ruining him! Watching Su Yunzhou effortlessly juggle the two women, he had assumed the man was playing the sugar baby while expertly pulling the strings. But looking at it from this new angle, it was clearly these two incredibly gorgeous, stunningly built "sugar mommies" who were throwing themselves at him.

However, there was still one last question. Where on earth did this kid Su Yunzhou get his money?

Filled with doubt, Old Wang took the initiative to raise his glass. The sliver of petty pride that had been on his face earlier was now entirely replaced by fawning caution.

Su Yunzhou noticed Old Wang’s shift in attitude. Looking at his smoking buddy’s noticeably lowered posture, he realized that once you had money, it truly became difficult to interact with friends as a normal person.

"Old Wang, there’s no need to be so polite," he said.

"President Su, you’re the one being polite," Old Wang said, holding his glass with both hands. "I misspoke just now, so I’ll drink this glass to apologize to you."

Su Yunzhou replied nonchalantly, "If you keep being this polite, I’m not drinking with you anymore!"

With that, he tilted his head back and drained the glass in one go. Seeing this, Old Wang immediately drank another glass to accompany him.

After resting for a moment, Old Wang proceeded to toast the two women one by one. After all, no matter what kind of influence one had, nothing beat pillow talk!

Li Yan seemed a bit off tonight; the more she drank, the quieter she became. Liu Yiyi wanted to ask what was wrong but couldn’t with an outsider present.

Noticing the slightly dreary atmosphere, she brought up a new topic. "Su Yunzhou, now that you’ve bought a car, what are you planning to do next?"

Su Yunzhou thought to himself, "Obviously to serve you mature women well." But out loud, he smiled and said, "I haven’t decided yet. I’ll relax for a bit first, then look for a project or some sort of investment. I can’t just sit around and eat through my fortune."

Old Wang sat quietly to the side, but his ears immediately pricked up.

Liu Yiyi teased, "Have you heard that saying?"

"What saying?"

"We don’t fear a second-generation rich kid wasting his life on hobbies; we fear a second-generation rich kid trying to prove himself."

Su Yunzhou paused for a moment before bursting into laughter. "I’m no second-generation rich kid."

"Right, right! You’re a second-generation demolition heir?" Liu Yiyi said casually.

In an instant, the fog in Old Wang’s mind cleared. So that was it! His family’s property got demolished, and from the looks of it, they were heavily compensated. Everything made sense now.

The excitement of discovering the truth lasted less than a minute. In the blink of an eye, Old Wang’s heart was once again filled with a mixture of envy and melancholy.

He cursed inwardly, "Damn it! Being a kept man pulling the strings would have been better! A demolition heir is even more enviable!"

In reality, most people would openly claim they hated tacky tycoons or pretentious rich kids, criticizing them for having no class and nothing but a few stinking coins. But who could honestly say they didn’t secretly harbor the desire to strike it rich overnight? Who could honestly say they didn’t secretly wish to walk down the street and have others mutter bitterly behind their backs?

"Tch~

"What’s so great about you besides having a bit of filthy money?"

Ever since Old Wang became fawning and cautious, the rest of the dinner party grew rather dull. Li Yan remained absentminded; she didn’t speak much but drank a considerable amount. Su Yunzhou, meanwhile, took advantage of moments when no one was looking to engage in a little under-the-table interplay with Liu Yiyi.

The group went through another round of toasts.

Seeing that it was getting late and noticing her best friend’s off mood, Liu Yiyi suggested they finish their last glass and call it a night.

A little later, Li Yan and Liu Yiyi went to pay the bill. Only then did Old Wang shamelessly scooch over. "President Su, I used to think you were an extraordinary talent, a cut above the rest. I just didn’t expect you to skip using your talent and walk straight to the absolute peak of life."

"Hahaha!" Su Yunzhou joked. "Old Wang, you’ve really got a whole routine of flattering lines now..."

"Not at all!" Old Wang let out a drunken hiccup. "There is truth in wine. Although I haven’t had too much to drink, these are definitely words from the bottom of my heart."

"Okay, okay!" Su Yunzhou replied.

Seeing that the mood was just about right, Old Wang probed, "Let’s keep in touch frequently from now on!"

"No problem," Su Yunzhou said with a nod.

The next second, the long-absent system notification sounded in his mind.

[A mature woman has spent 9,200 yuan on you. Affinity at 58 points. Cashback: 533,600 yuan.]

He let out a sigh of relief and thought, "My little stash has grown by another half a million, bringing my total assets back to over 2.5 million. Still, money is getting harder and harder to earn. The dealership trick probably won’t work anymore. I’ll have to think of another method next time."

Right at that moment, the two women appeared at the door.

"Let’s go!"

The four of them headed outside. The high attractiveness of the two women, coupled with the fact that one was slightly tipsy, naturally drew the gazes of many diners. Su Yunzhou was already used to it by now. As for Old Wang... well, never mind... it wasn’t worth mentioning!

After arriving at the underground parking garage, Old Wang walked the three of them to the Panamera and waved goodbye.

"President Su, and you two beauties, be safe on the road!"

"You take it slow on your way back too," Liu Yiyi replied.

Su Yunzhou took the initiative to sit in the back, using the excuse that he wanted to test out the rear space. Liu Yiyi sat in the driver’s seat, buzzing with a bit of excitement, while Li Yan guided her through the instructions for some of the feature buttons.

A moment later, the car started smoothly and drove out of the underground garage.

Li Yan initially said to just drop her off at the subway entrance ahead, but Su Yunzhou smiled and refused.

"It’s not safe for a gorgeous woman like you to take the subway after drinking. Besides, we have a driver today. We’ll drop you off."

Liu Yiyi rolled her eyes at Su Yunzhou. "It’s only a twenty-minute drive to your place anyway."

Once they arrived, Li Yan waved goodbye to the two of them, and the car continued on its way.

However, Su Yunzhou had now moved to the passenger seat. He looked at her majestic peaks, which were made even more prominent by the seatbelt strapped across them, and then glanced out at the old alleyway that was practically devoid of pedestrians.

"Yiyi, can you stop the car?"

"Hmm? What’s wrong?"

"I want to... dedicate my first time to you."

"Ah~"

"You’re... so annoying... take your hands off... there are people outside..."
