"Hello, Sister Liu," Ge Dongxu extended his hand, greeting her proactively.
"Hello, Mr. Ge," Li Min's eyes flickered again with a hint of surprise. She hadn't expected this young man, dressed so plainly, to behave so generously and appropriately, nothing like his attire or age.
"Just call Dongxu, 'Mr. Ge' is too awkward," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.
"You're a friend of Boss Liu, I wouldn't dare to call you by your first na," Li Min replied with a smile, then started to lead the way.
It wasn't long before they reached the parking lot, which was quite empty, unlike now, where cars are parked everywhere. Of course, there were hardly any luxury cars, mostly black Nissan Sentras or white Volkswagen Jettas, along with a few Citroens and Xialis, so Liu Jiayao's imported black Audi 200 stood out prominently parked there.
Ge Dongxu spotted that car at a glance and was thinking that it was nice when Li Min had already walked forward, opened the rear car door, and tried to let Liu Jiayao take a seat. But Liu Jiayao stopped instead, turned to Ge Dongxu, and said, "Dongxu, after you."
Ge Dongxu didn't stand on ceremony with Liu Jiayao, and ducked into the Audi 200.
Oftentis, it's not until you compare that you realize the gap between things. The first ti Ge Dongxu rode in a sedan, he thought the taxi was very comfortable, far better than those rickety minibuses from the countryside. Now, sitting in the Audi 200 and touching its smooth leather seats, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This is a really nice car! It even feels comfortable to the touch."
Upon hearing this, a mocking glint flashed in Li Min's eyes; she thought to herself, a country bumpkin is still a country bumpkin, probably never in his life had he ridden in such a nice car.
This wasn't Li Min's fault. At that ti, being able to drive was considered quite impressive, and even more so for a woman. Although Li Min was just a driver, her inco was higher than many pharmacists at Yongchun Hall. Moreover, accompanying Liu Jiayao, she t governnt officials and business owners, which naturally elevated her perspective. For soone dressed as plainly as Ge Dongxu, if not for Liu Jiayao's connection, she really wouldn't have spared him a second glance.
"Hehe, it's not that expensive, just about four hundred thousand. You're now a millionaire, you could easily buy one if you really wanted to," Liu Jiayao said with a smile.
"You make it sound so easy, just about four hundred thousand. If I spent that way, my little bit of money wouldn't last long!" Ge Dongxu said, laughing.
The conversation between the two made Li Min, who was driving, jolt her hand on the steering wheel, nearly hitting a middle-aged man who was crossing the street on a bicycle.
Goodness, you really can't judge a book by its cover, this plain-looking young man is actually a millionaire!
"If you can't bear to spend that money, I could buy one and give it to you," Liu Jiayao said.
Upon hearing this, Li Min's hand on the steering wheel trembled once more.
A forty-thousand vehicle! Even if you wanted to give a gift, this wasn't the way to do it! Besides, the other party was just a countryside youth.
"Hehe, I'm only sixteen this year, still a high school student, even if you gave a car, I wouldn't have any use for it," Ge Dongxu said, laughing.
Only then did Liu Jiayao realize that Ge Dongxu was still young, and even with a car, he wouldn't be able to drive it, so she could only laugh awkwardly.
Liu Jiayao's apartnt was a twenty-story high-rise situated alongside the Jinglin River that flowed across the urban area.
It was the first generation of high-rise residential apartnts in the whole of Linzhou City and truly a high-class living area. Inside, there was an elevator, central air conditioning, as well as a security entrance system. Whenever soone visited, the residents could simply use the intercom to inquire and even see the visitor's appearance on TV, just like in so of the buildings featured in Hong Kong TV dramas. Thus, to the ordinary people, living in these high-rise apartnts was akin to living in Hong Kong.
At that ti, Hong Kong symbolized an extrely developed place, not like now when so cities in Huaxia Country's mainland have caught up with, and in so respects are not inferior to, Hong Kong.
Of course, such upscale apartnts ca with a hefty price tag, with per square ter reaching around five thousand, while the surrounding ordinary apartnts only cost one to two thousand per square ter at most.
Although Ge Dongxu had visited the Changxi Grand Hotel, and one could say he had seen the world for a rural person, a hotel differed from a residential property. Thus, when he first entered the Yadu Garden, this first-generation high-rise apartnt with Liu Jiayao, Ge Dongxu still felt a sense of amazent. Especially since Liu Jiayao's apartnt was on the nineteenth floor, where standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows allowed one to overlook the broad Jinglin River and most of Linzhou City.
This was because at that ti, even though Linzhou City was the provincial capital, it lacked many skyscrapers, and the urban area was not that large.
"This place is really nice!" Ge Dongxu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the view below, feeling a sense of achievent and could not help but exclaim.
"If you like it, there are still a few unsold units in Yadu Garden. I can help you buy one, so in two or three years if you co to Linzhou City for university, you'll have a place to stay off campus," Liu Jiayao said.
"Sister Liu, I've already said, I don't cure patients for money. It's like this now and it will be the sa in the future. I won't use my dical skills to make a living. If I did, I would lose my way of life," Ge Dongxu said, knowing Liu Jiayao's intentions, he spoke with a serious face.
Seeing Ge Dongxu's resolute statent, Liu Jiayao stopped thinking about compensation and said with a smile, "It seems I'll owe you a favor for the rest of my life that I won't be able to repay."
"You trust my dical skills so much? Aren't you afraid you're speaking too soon?" Ge Dongxu, now familiar with Liu Jiayao, spoke casually, losing the restraint one might have in front of a beautiful female executive.
"If Professor Tang trusts you so much that he seeks your advice, what reason do I have not to believe you? If even you can't cure my illness, then I'll completely give up the hope of seeking dical treatnt. When the King of Hell calls for , I'll go," Liu Jiayao said as she looked at Ge Dongxu.
"Cough cough, don't speak so gravely. Alright, let's start earlier. I still have things to do later, and after I finish, I still need to catch the six o'clock train in the evening," Ge Dongxu hurriedly interrupted, seeing that Liu Jiayao was becoming a bit pessimistic.
When Ge Dongxu ntioned starting, it reminded Liu Jiayao of the upcoming session, and her face turned red all of a sudden. She spoke in a very soft voice, "I'll take a quick shower first."
She didn't wait for Ge Dongxu to respond, hurriedly entering her master bedroom and then closing the door.
Seeing this, Ge Dongxu smiled wryly and shook his head. It was just a matter of needling and simple physical therapy; did it really require a special bath and change of clothes?
Ge Dongxu waited outside for about fifteen minutes before the door of the master bedroom swung open. Liu Jiayao, wrapped in a white bathrobe, revealed a hint of snow-white chest, her hair casually draped over her shoulders and glistening with a few drops of water, looking exceptionally alluring.
ps: Today I continue to rush to finish the old book, so the new book will have just two updates today. However, the old book should be completed by tomorrow morning at the latest, which ans I can devote myself to writing the new book. On Monday, because I'm aiming for the rank list, I will still post a chapter of the new book at midnight, so I ask for readers' support with more recomndations, clicks, comnts, and if possible, donations, for which I would be extrely grateful. Since it's the initial stage of the new book, please don't mind the more frequent requests for support.
