Rolls Royce Phantom, Xiao Xue's Former Best Friend

"Wow, this house feels different as soon as you walk in!"

"Look at the design of this Entrance Hall, it's simple yet sophisticated, and so cozy."

"This living room is so bright! This U-shaped open kitchen is really nice..."

As soon as I stepped into room 501 of building 8, Aunt Qiaoling's voice rang out.

She works in an office and is very knowledgeable about interpersonal relationships. Her demeanor is not exaggerated, and she sounds exceptionally sincere.

With this competent straight man, sales manager Sun Qiwen's face instantly lit up, and he enthusiastically began to introduce the house.

Golden Floor, four bedrooms, two living rooms, three bathrooms, well-ventilated from north to south, a standard Four-Leaf Clover Layout.

The living room is 4.2 meters wide and has a south-facing balcony.

Solid wood composite flooring, comfortable underfoot; double-layered ceiling design; soft LED strip lighting around the perimeter...

All the materials used in the renovation are from major brands, and the style leans towards comfort and practicality.

After all, it's the developer's own decoration, so it can't compare to the likes of Yanjing Sky City, but the standard is already quite good.

At least Tang Jianying and Xu Feng were quite satisfied.

They lived their entire lives in a self-built house in the countryside, with virtually no decoration.

The basic interior decoration is already complete; you just need to add some furniture and appliances and you can move in immediately.

Moreover, with such a large house, it wouldn't be crowded even if Tang Song brought his girlfriend home to stay, and it would be more than enough even if they had two children in the future.

Tang Maolin always wore a kind smile and didn't talk much. He would occasionally praise the house, but most of the time he was observing Tang Song and Sun Qiwen.

I spent quite a while touring the room.

Seeing the smiles on his parents' faces, Tang Song asked softly, "Dad, Mom, are you satisfied with this place?"

"Satisfied! Satisfied! This house is really nice!"

Tang Jianying nodded vigorously and said, "The renovation quality is very good, but the price will definitely be higher. Let's have them calculate it for us first."

He had worked in the renovation industry for several years and was very familiar with the materials and brands used.

This is not in the same league as the other houses I looked at before; the flooring, sanitary ware, hardware, etc. are all from big brands.

This is quite normal. Developers usually upgrade the interior design and specifications of these prime locations, which naturally makes them much more expensive.

Supervisor Sun was standing nearby, quickly chimed in, "Mr. Tang, rest assured about the price; it will definitely satisfy you! Our President Wang will be here soon, and he will discuss the details with you."

"Okay." Tang Song nodded gently.

The group chatted about the plans for the interior design and furnishings when a knock came at the door.

Sun Qiwen hurriedly ran to open the door. "President Wang, you're here. Mr. Tang and his family are inside."

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man with thinning hair walked in, wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt and black trousers.

It was clear that he had arrived in a hurry; he was covered in sweat, panting heavily, and looked travel-worn.

Wang Yanbin's gaze swept across the room, first lingering on Tang Maolin, then immediately turning to the tall, handsome young man standing in the restaurant.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Yanbin stepped forward with a beaming smile and said, "Mr. Tang! Thank you for visiting us. It is an honor for our Yunjing Terrace sales office."

"Hello, Manager Wang, thank you for making the trip." Tang Song shook hands with him politely.

"Please don't say that, it's all my duty!" Wang Yanbin continued, "Please feel free to give me any feedback about the house, whether it's about the renovation or the layout and floor plan. We will do our best to help you coordinate. Our Mr. Xie Director Zhao have repeatedly instructed me to make sure you are satisfied!"

"Thank you, this house is very nice, we are very satisfied."

Looking at Wang Yanbin's unprecedented enthusiasm and Tang Song's calm and collected demeanor.

Tang Maolin's shock grew ever greater.

He had some doubts before and was unsure about the situation.

But now it is completely confirmed that the so-called connections Tang Song made are absolutely terrifying, at least to senior executives of the Handing Group.

When Director Zhao invited me to dinner, he wasn't just being polite.

As the section chief of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau Handing Group.

Established in 2004, it holds a Class A national qualification for real estate development and a Class B national qualification for property management.

It is a corporate group with 15 subsidiaries and 2,800 employees.

With a deep-rooted presence in Yan Province and excellent relationships with the government, it is a truly well-known local enterprise.

When other companies' senior executives come to Jing County to discuss cooperation, they can communicate directly with county leaders.

Seemingly noticing his gaze, Wang Yanbin turned around and smiled, "Hey, Brother Maolin, what a coincidence! I didn't expect you and Mr. Tang to come together. I apologize for any offense I may have caused."

His attitude was indeed very perfunctory before, and the discount he offered was just a regular one.

Some large intermediary companies can get this price.

"President Wang, you're too kind. There's nothing to offend you about." Tang Maolin quickly came to his senses and laughed heartily. "Tang Song is my nephew. I've watched him grow up since he was a child. As his uncle, I just wanted to do my best to help. I didn't expect Tang Song to have his own connections. I was just showing off. Hahaha."

Tang Jianying quickly waved her hand and said, "How can you talk like that, Maolin? You and Qiaoling have worked hard today, coming all this way to help in this sweltering heat."

Tang Maolin turned to Tang Song and said sincerely, "Little Song, your Uncle Maolin has no bad intentions. I came here to lend a hand. After all, we are family."

As a seasoned veteran who had worked his way up in the Within the System for twenty years, he naturally knew what to say at this moment.

Tang Song Wei Xiao and nodded, saying, "I know, thank you Uncle Maolin and Aunt Qiaoling."

Tang Maolin was highly respected in his family because of his work.

My parents' social circle is mainly in Jing County and their hometown. They maintain good relationships with their family and feel comfortable there.

After exchanging a few pleasantries...

Wang Yanbin took the order form handed to him by Supervisor Sun and said with a smile, "Mr. Tang, this 160-square-meter four-bedroom apartment, because of its good location and layout, is normally priced at 9,200 yuan per square meter."

We've given you a 40% discount, so based on a unit price of 5500 yuan, the total price is 880,000 yuan. It includes a 30-square-meter basement and 5 years of free property management fees.

In addition, we have reserved a few parking spaces downstairs in Building 8, priced at 50,000 each. You can go and choose one later..."

As Wang Yanbin spoke, Tang Jianying and Xu Feng were both stunned.

This discount is huge!

They're offering a 60% discount, plus a free small house, and the parking space has been reduced from 130,000 to 50,000.

At this price, you can only buy a new house near the southern ring road of the county town.

It can't compare to high-end residential communities like Yunjing Terrace at all.

Looking at Wang Yanbin's extremely humble posture, and then at Tang Song's handsome, upright, and confident demeanor, Tang Maolin felt a surge of emotion.

What kind of power does this nephew, who is so influential that the Handing Group can give him face, have?

The rise of any family requires the emergence of capable individuals.

How come I never realized before that there was such an outstanding person in my family!

Around noon, the group returned to the sales office and began signing Purchase Contract.

In addition to the house, they also requested three parking spaces.

Including deed tax, maintenance fund and other fees, the total amount is 1.06 million yuan.

The property is registered under the parents' names.

A clean and efficient card payment.

Seeing her parents' excited and dazed expressions, she smiled brightly.

This can be considered as putting an end to a long-held obsession in my heart.

The houses in Yanjing Sky City and Shengyuan Jiajing were directly assigned by the system; this was his first time buying a house.

Once upon a time, the house was an insurmountable mountain that their small family could only look up to.

My parents have been holding the developer's sales slips countless times, keeping track of the rise and fall of housing prices, and calculating when they will be able to afford a house.

In the eyes of their generation, a house is always the foundation for a stable life.

The emotions evoked by them were far greater than those evoked by the Mercedes-Benz- Benz of the Tang Song.

After signing the contract, the group left the sales office, escorted by Wang Yanbin and others.

"Maolin, let's meet at the Huajing Grand Hotel. I'll have to trouble you with the private room."

"Jianying, please don't be so polite. I've already spoken to the owner of Huajing; you should go directly to room 306!"

"Okay, bye-bye."

Bye-bye~

Watching the Tang Song family get into the silver Mercedes-Benz S-Class -Class, Tang Maolin and Li Qiaoling exchanged a glance, both seeing the disbelief in each other's eyes.

I still remember that around the Lunar New Year, other people were talking about how Tang Jianying's family had paid off their debts.

In the blink of an eye, they've reached this point.

The world is truly unpredictable, which is quite poignant.

Tang Jianying and her husband have finally made it through!

Watching the Mercedes-Benz slowly start moving.

Tang Maolin nudged his wife and whispered, "When you get back, tell the people back home, but don't reveal too much. Just let them know that Tang Song is very powerful and has a wide network of connections. Also, you need to talk to the fourth brother. His family had a conflict with Xu Feng a while ago, so it would be best if he took the initiative to go and apologize."

"Oh, okay, I understand."

"Let's go, let's get there quickly."

Soon, the white Toyota Camry drove out of the parking lot.

Inside 306 private room.

Tang Song opened two bottles of Moutai directly.

Aunt Qiaoling took the initiative to pour them wine.

One after another, hearty dishes were served, glasses clinked, and laughter filled the air.

Tang Jianying and Xu Feng were very excited and emotional because they had just bought a new house.

With Tang Maolin's deliberate flattery, the meal was a pleasant one for both host and guests.

By the end, both Tang Jianying and Tang Maolin were quite drunk.

Watching Tang Song go out to pay the bill, I recalled everything he had said and done since we met.

Tang Maolin was filled with even more emotion.

He was quite knowledgeable and experienced.

Tang Song's emotional intelligence, profound knowledge, and eloquence truly amazed him.

He downed the wine in his glass in one gulp and put his arm around Tang Jianying's shoulder.

Some were moved and said, "Jianying and Xu Feng, you two are blessed. Our Old Tang Family is about to produce a True Dragon!"

After settling the bill, Tang Song had just approached the door of the private room.

A crisp System Prompt Sound.

"Ding! Congratulations, player, the challenge quest ' Parents' Approval ' has been completed."

Immediately afterwards, a faint light screen appeared before my eyes, and lines of text jumped out.

[Rewards being processed...]

Returning to your hometown, you didn't blindly show off or flaunt your achievements in your interactions with your parents. Instead, you maintained a peaceful and sincere childlike heart. Your career, abilities, network, and future have deeply earned your Parents' Approval.

You have received a reward: Random Gift Pack *1

Tang Song stopped in his tracks, a look of great joy appearing in his eyes.

If the system hadn't suddenly reminded him, he would have completely forgotten about the task.

It's less of a task and more of a genuine inner desire.

Gaining his Parents' Approval and making his family happy brought him immense satisfaction.

Open the System Interface and go to [Warehouse].

Inside, a glittering gold gift bag lay quietly.

Sit down on a chair in the Rest Area in the corner of the corridor.

Tang Song clenched his fist excitedly, selected the [Random Gift Pack], and opened it immediately.

"Ding! You have obtained the [Safe Travel Package]."

"Ding! You have gained an attribute boost of [Agility +2]."

"Ding! You have gained a hidden attribute boost: Luck +1."

[Safe Travel Package]: Includes (Rolls Royce Phantom *1, security driver*1), with the driver having additional control over a certain security team.

[Note 1: The security driver will contact you soon. Phone number: 188...]

[Note 2: When you are away from home, your parents are very worried about your safety and only hope that you will be safe and sound.]

[Note 3: The same applies to Secretary Jin]

After reading the reward details, Tang Song's eyes lit up.

The rewards this time are far more generous than I ever imagined.

The most valuable of them all is undoubtedly [Luck +1]. As a hidden attribute, Tang Song deeply understands how important Luck is. The effects of the previous [Badge - Lucky Me] are still fresh in his mind.

Although it's only a 1-point boost, it can still improve his luck.

In addition, there was a Rolls Royce Phantom with a security team.

He was naturally familiar with this famous luxury car.

The Phantom series was created in 1925 and has a history of nearly 100 years.

Rolls-Royce's flagship model, with a price tag exceeding ten million, is also a benchmark model among mass-produced ultra-luxury cars.

He had purchased it in the game "Male God Growth Plan".

The prize this time will most likely be that one car.

The night before he received the system and was about to have dinner with Xie Shuyu in a new guise, he had a long dream.

In the dream, I was wearing a dark, custom-made suit, stepped out of a Rolls-Royce, calmly stood in front of Xie Shuyu, and then leaned down to kiss her.

At the time, he was mostly suffering from an inferiority complex, but you could also see his inner longing.

Now it seems that this dream may soon come true.

Moreover, given his current status and wealth, he certainly deserves a driver.

For example, when attending business meetings, alcohol is often consumed, and driving oneself is inconvenient, so having a security driver is essential.

Overall, the rewards from this [Random Gift Pack] are designed to make him safer.

Includes bonuses to agility and luck.

My Charm Value score has unknowingly reached 66 points, which is probably related to my improved mindset during this trip home.

Only 4 points away from the next stage of rewards.

Make persistent efforts!

"Hoo—" Tang Song exhaled a breath of stale air tinged with alcohol, raised his head, and was about to open the door to the private room.

A hesitant voice came from the side. "Tang... Tang Song?"

Tang Song looked up and saw a somewhat familiar face, blurting out, "Zhang Lei!"

If I hadn't happened to look through photos of my junior high school classmates last night, I probably wouldn't have realized it so quickly.

He and Zhang Lei had some contact during high school, but they basically lost touch after they went to college.

Zhang Lei has gained a lot of weight and matured a lot, and there are still traces of acne on his face.

He must have drunk quite a bit; he looked a little dizzy.

Compared to the spirited young "Second-Generation Rich" he once was, he has changed a lot.

Yancheng.

Inside a high-end Western restaurant.

"Wow, the caviar has finally arrived!"

Zhao Yachian licked her lips and watched longingly as the waiter put down the tray.

"Xiao Xue, you eat too." Zhao Yachian handed one of the dishes to Lin Mu Xue.

"Thanks, dear."

Snow crab paired with a generous amount of Siberian sturgeon caviar.

He opened his mouth and took a small bite.

Zhao Yachian's eyes immediately curved into crescent moons. "So delicious!"

Lin Mu Xue smiled slightly and took a bite as well.

The flavor transitions from sour to savory, filling the entire mouth with this delicious aroma; it's truly very nice.

"Ring ring—" The Mobile Phone phone suddenly rang.

Lin Mu Xue put down her cutlery, wiped her hands, and elegantly picked up her Mobile Phone.

It was an unfamiliar number from out of town.

After hesitating for a moment, I answered the call anyway, "Hello."

Her tone was confident and decisive, and her voice was clear and powerful.

This is something I learned from the elites at Juqing Huijin.

Putting everything else aside, Xiao Xue has an exceptional talent for this.

After waiting for a while, no sound came from the receiver.

Lin Mu Xue wasn't in a hurry and asked again, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

Immediately afterwards, a somewhat hoarse female voice rang out. "Hey, Xiao Xue, how have you been lately?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Lin Mu Xue's hands tightened, and her brows furrowed sharply.

After a moment, she regained her composure. "Qianqian, I'm going to take this call. You can eat slowly."

"Okay, go ahead, Xiao Xue." Zhao Yachian waved her hand and continued to enjoy her feast.

He would occasionally take a few photos and share them with Tang Song.

Step out of the dining area.

Lin Mu Xue brought the Mobile Phone back to her ear and asked calmly, "Is there something you need?"

Some rapid breathing could be heard. "I... Xiao Xue, I... I'm back in Yancheng."

"Heh, what does this have to do with me?" Lin Mu Xue lowered her head slightly. "Didn't we agree to never see each other again?"

The voice on the other end of the line paused, then trembled with tears, "I'm sorry, Xiao Xue, you're right, he really is a liar, I've been deceived."

Immediately afterwards, loud crying rang out.

"I'm hanging up now, bye-bye."

"No, no, no... I... Xiao Xue, I beg you, I'm really in pain right now. I went to Yanjing Huating, but the tenants have changed. Where are you? I... I want to see you."

Her chest heaved violently. After a long silence, Lin Mu Xue asked in a low voice, "Where are you?"

"I... I'm at... the bus stop at the South Gate of Yanjing Huating, the one on the north side of the road. My Mobile Phone battery is low."

Lin Mu Xue raised her wrist to check the time and whispered, "I'll be there in 15 minutes."

"Okay, I'll wait for you here. You have to come, I... I'm sorry."

"I'm hanging up," Lin Mu Xue said, hanging up the phone and turning back to the dining table.

Looking at the beautician taking photos, she said apologetically, "Qianqian, a friend of mine is coming to Yancheng from out of town, and I have to pick her up. Would you mind taking a taxi home later?"

Zhao Yachian quickly looked up. "It's okay, Xiao Xue. Don't worry about me, go ahead and do your work. Oh, by the way, I ate the caviar you left, hehe."

"Okay, you eat now, bye-bye, darling."

Bye-bye, drive carefully.

Lin Mu Xue lowered her head slightly, kissed the beautician's fair face, picked up her bag, and walked out.

Soon, the silver-gray Porsche merged onto the main road and headed towards the long-distance bus station.

Sitting in the car, she pursed her lips and sighed deeply.

Xu Ning, a person who had disappeared from her life for almost a year, has reappeared.

Although she was a Fake Socialite, she had some good friends before.

Xu Ning was her former best friend.

The two met at a modeling job interview.

Because she was in a hurry and lacked experience, Lin Mu Xue's sweat ruined her makeup.

Unfortunately, I left my cosmetics in my dorm room, and I was extremely anxious.

It was Xu Ning, who was sitting next to her, who offered to help and even carefully touched up her makeup.

Afterwards, both of them successfully passed the interview and got valuable job opportunities.

However, that brand event turned into a nightmare for her, as the organizer's daughter publicly exposed that she was wearing a high-quality counterfeit outfit.

Although I didn't use any profanity to curse her, I can still clearly recall that disdainful look in her eyes.

It was Xu Ning who stood up to comfort her at that time.

Their relationship quickly warmed up, and they became true best friends.

After graduating from university, Lin Mu Xue moved in with Xu Ning.

Under the influence of this person, she gradually became a so-called "Fake Socialite".

Lin Mu Xue established a persona and created an influencer account, Xu Ning mainly focused on live streaming.

Later, they moved to Yan Jing Hua Ting Residential Area together.

I was having a great time, enjoying barbecues, beer, cakes, and coffee every day, and saving up enough money to go shopping and travel.

But later, Xu Ning found a "Top Supporter" who was also a "tall, rich, and handsome man," and the two quickly met in real life.

However, this "tall, rich, and handsome" man's family is quite strict and doesn't approve of him being with a female anchor who works as a freelance model.

This directly cut off his source of income.

Xu Ning foolishly started supporting this "tall, rich, and handsome" man, waiting for his parents to be moved by her sincerity.

Later, they even took him to a house in Yanjing Huating.

After a few encounters, Lin Mu Xue realized something was wrong. This handsome and rich guy was definitely a fraud, a master of PUA, and even had designs on her.

She had advised Xu Ning many times and pointed out the abnormality in the other party's behavior.

Xu Ning, however, was deeply involved and had invested a great deal of time and effort, so she was unwilling to see the truth for herself.

He even borrowed money from her to support the other party.

The two had many arguments because of this, and the most serious one even turned into a physical fight.

The kind that involves pulling hair or slapping someone.

After that incident, they blocked and deleted each other's contacts. Xu Ning moved out of Yanjing Huating and went to another city with that "tall, rich, and handsome" guy.

Now it seems she has been swindled out of everything.

Regardless, the two were once very close sisters and best friends.

Lin Mu Xue really couldn't bring herself to ignore everything.

Familiar scenery came into view, and the car gradually slowed down.

Soon, a familiar figure came into view.

Wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and sneakers, he stood in a corner of the bus stop, his hair unkempt, looking travel-worn.

She was carrying two suitcases, one of which was a gift she had given to the other party before.

The Porsche slowly came to a stop at the platform.

Xu Ning, with her head down, subconsciously took a step back.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Mu Xue pushed open the car door and got out.

He walked at a leisurely pace, around the front of the car, and stood in front of her.

Xu Ning stared blankly at Xiao Xue getting out of the Porsche for a while before daring to confirm it.

Compared to the Xiao Xue of the past, she has changed so much.

It's not just the fashion and luxury cars that make it special; after all, Xiao Xue has always liked renting luxury cars and saving money to buy luxury goods.

The biggest changes are in her temperament and eyes.

Now she is mature, confident, stylish and dazzling, like an elegant female executive who drinks coffee and discusses business in an office building.

"Xiao Xue..."

Lin Mu Xue shoved her hard, gritting her teeth as she said, "I told you long ago, you're an idiot! You deserve what you're doing now! Idiot!"
