One of the dream cars for young people, Lei Haolong recognized it at a glance.
"You bastard, did your family buy you such a powerful car?"
Lei Haolong was quite shocked.
Prejudiced, Lei Haolong wouldn’t believe even if you told him you earned the money yourself, and Xu Lin would have to go on explaining.
Lei Haolong knew well that this thing cost more than two million, beyond his imagination, and given that Xu Lin was the sa age, even younger than him by half a year, he could only assu Xu Lin’s family funded the car.
"I bought it so ti ago."
"Xu Lin, how much is this thing once it hits the road?" Lei Haolong asked.
"Around 2.4 million."
"Aweso, did your family give you so much money?"
Lei Haolong was very shocked, though he knew Xu Lin’s family was quite wealthy, especially his dad. Lei Zhiqiang had said before that Xu Cheng was secretly rich, not flaunting his wealth.
Since they were in the sa city, the social circle wasn’t that big, yet not too small either.
Xu Lin and Lei Haolong were desk mates in high school for three years. Lei Zhiqiang and Xu Lin’s dad knew each other, having t at parent-teacher etings twice, and got familiar over ti.
Xu Lin didn’t ntion making a lot of money in college either.
Just last month, in January, two copyrights for his novel and comic were finalized at 9.6 million, plus more than 13 million was paid out in royalties for December in January.
Currently, the novel is on multiple platforms, selling beyond Xu Lin’s own novel website, ensuring high inco for a long ti.
The website is trying all sorts of ways to profit from this treasure of a book, without Xu Lin having to worry at all.
As a result, Xu Lin received over 20 million in January.
So, Lei Haolong thought the car was a gift from Xu Lin’s family, and Xu Lin didn’t bother to explain, not fussing over such a trivial matter.
"Xu Lin, let take a photo!"
Lei Haolong raised his phone, starting a selfie, "Xu Lin, where’s your face? Co over a bit, look at the cara."
Xu Lin glanced over.
Then with a click, Lei Haolong took a few photos and posted them on Monts.
Text: Thanks to my good buddy! Got to sit in a Panara GTS within my lifeti!!!
Soon, Lei Haolong received a lot of comnts, even so elentary school classmates he hadn’t contacted in six or seven years chid in.
"Where are we going to eat?"
"Let’s check out Dream Island, a new sauerkraut fish place opened recently, they say it tastes great."
Lei Haolong looked up this sauerkraut fish place and showed Xu Lin.
It’s supposed to be a national chain brand, with good taste.
"Okay, let’s have sauerkraut fish."
The al was quite sumptuous, hosted by Lei Haolong, costing over 400, with a sauerkraut fish dish nearly 200, plus so snacks and two bottles of juice.
All in all, Lei Haolong was quite generous.
After filling their bellies, Xu Lin sat in the passenger seat, while Lei Haolong took the driver’s seat, letting him drive around the city for over two hours.
"Damn, it’s so aweso. Who knows if I’ll get to drive a Panara in my life, doesn’t have to be a GTS, just a regular one!"
After two plus hours, Lei Haolong was still feeling the thrill.
Xu Lin: "The future awaits!"
Lei Haolong, full of vigor: "My dad said he’ll buy a Benz this sumr vacation."
"Which Benz?"
"A C-class, maybe?"
"That’s decent, take it slow, get a better one after graduation."
Though Lei Haolong’s family profits exceed a million a year, spending hundreds of thousands on a car was at the limit, too much wasn’t possible.
"Xu Lin, you’re the damn winner in life!"
"Tch!"
A little past five in the afternoon, Xu Lin dropped Lei Haolong back ho.
"Xu Lin, my mom’s inviting you up for a sit, wanna co up?"
"No, next ti, it’s late, I’ll head back first."
"Alright then, catch up later. Damn, I’ve got to work with my dad for a while, truly no ti, we’ll likely be busy till the day before New Year’s Eve!"
"Why worry if there’s money to be made? You’ll be driving a Benz next year, I’m off then."
"Alright, see you."
Lei Haolong watched Xu Lin drive away.
On Xu Lin’s side, it took about half an hour to get back to his community.
It was just six o’clock when he arrived.
Yu Jianhua happened to show up at this ti as well.
So in the underground parking lot, Yu Jianhua saw Xu Lin parking his car.
The distance between them was about thirty ters.
"Hey? You’re back? Haven’t seen this kid in a long ti."
Yu Jianhua recalled the last ti he saw Xu Lin was during the National Day holiday, which was now four months ago.
So Yu Jianhua decided to walk over.
"Uncle, long ti no see!"
Xu Lin had just parked and also noticed Yu Jianhua approaching; he was quite surprised too.
"Have you bought a car?"
Yu Jianhua stepped forward and found Xu Lin’s car looking very new.
"This badge, Porsche?"
"Porsche Panara!"
"How much was it again?"
Yu Jianhua opened his thermos to drink so water.
"Over two million after landing."
Spew!
As soon as Xu Lin finished speaking, the warm water that Yu Jianhua hadn’t swallowed yet sprayed directly out.
"How much?" Yu Jianhua thought he misheard.
"Over two million, to be precise, more than 2.4 million."
"Did you ask your dad for money?"
"No, would my dad give so much for a car?"
Xu Lin smiled faintly, "I actually earned it myself, full paynt, didn’t use a penny from ho."
"How’s it been lately? I rember during National Day, you were earning over sixty thousand a month?"
Back then, Yu Jianhua was already amazed, an 18-year-old freshman earning over sixty thousand a month writing novels, after taxes, no less.
And now?
"Uncle, do you have a heart condition?" Xu Lin suddenly asked.
"Get lost, uncle’s in great health!"
