"All right, thanks for your hard work."
Li Mu Chuan took the keys from the other man's hand.
Audi car keys all looked pretty much the same, with no obvious differences.
The other colleagues nearby saw this and, for a moment, had no idea what kind of car Li Mu Chuan had bought.
But they assumed it was probably just an ordinary Volkswagen car.
"Then I'll be leaving first. If anything comes up with the car later, feel free to ask me."
Seeing that Li Mu Chuan was eating, the male salesperson tactfully said goodbye and left.
"Couldn't tell at all. You actually bought a car too!"
A male colleague nearby looked at the car keys in Li Mu Chuan's hand and couldn't help commenting.
Li Mu Chuan slipped the keys into his pocket and merely smiled. "It's just an ordinary car."
Everyone believed him when they heard that.
After all, Li Mu Chuan's salary hadn't been particularly high before.
Pan Jingjing, however, looked slightly unnatural.
Because of their angles, the others hadn't seen the back of the car key.
But she had seen it clearly just now. There was an R8 marking on the back of the key.
If she wasn't mistaken, had he bought an R8? That couldn't be possible, right?
The others didn't think much of it.
After the meal, Si Yu and the others still had more activities planned. Li Mu Chuan had no intention of tagging along; he wanted to try out his newly bought car.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Li Mu Chuan headed to the parking lot. The moment he stepped out of the elevator, he saw his car.
The R8's lines were exceptionally beautiful. Standing before it and admiring its silhouette, Li Mu Chuan liked it immensely.
After opening the door, Li Mu Chuan examined the interior.
The gearshift was no different from that of an ordinary car. There was a red button on the steering wheel, which was probably the ignition button.
After briefly studying the layout inside, Li Mu Chuan could no longer contain himself. He shifted gears and drove off.
He felt a little cautious. What if such a nice car got scratched somewhere...
But the next moment, Li Mu Chuan relaxed. So what if it got scratched? At worst, he could just replace it with another one.
With that thought, Li Mu Chuan immediately felt at ease. He stepped on the accelerator, and the car shot forward.
The car roared out of the parking lot and then overtook two business vans.
Those business vans seemed to be company vehicles, didn't they?
Thinking about the cars he had just passed, Li Mu Chuan pondered it briefly before shaking his head and dismissing the matter.
"Hey, wasn't the person in that R8 just now Li Mu Chuan?"
A male colleague sitting by the window looked surprised. He seemed to have seen Li Mu Chuan inside that car.
"You saw wrong, didn't you? That was an R8!"
The supervisor couldn't help questioning him.
That was a car worth over two million. It wasn't likely that Li Mu Chuan could afford it, was it?
"I think you really did see wrong. An R8 isn't something just anyone can afford, and then there are maintenance costs and everything."
At that, the others all shook their heads as well.
Only Pan Jingjing, seated in the back, wore a complicated expression. In the past, she definitely would have added a few more remarks.
But now, she really couldn't say such things. She had seen Li Mu Chuan's car key, and it really had looked like an R8 key.
"Maybe I really did see wrong."
Hearing that none of them believed him, he began to question whether he had really made a mistake.
Meanwhile.
Li Mu Chuan drove his newly bought car, listening to the engine's roar, and felt utterly refreshed.
Another thing was that when Li Mu Chuan drove this car, it really did attract plenty of attention.
They probably thought the car looked good, so they took a few extra glances.
Half an hour later, Li Mu Chuan arrived at a real estate sales office.
He planned to buy a house, one with better security.
He had only just applied for the Gene Immunity Serum patent, and he didn't know whether anyone would target him. If someone secretly investigated or followed him, it would be somewhat unsafe.
Buying a house would also give him a bit more security when he traveled through worlds.
Living in someone else's house always felt a little unsafe.
Li Mu Chuan strode into the sales office, where a finely dressed female sales agent soon approached him.
"Sir, are you here to look at properties?"
"Yeah."
Li Mu Chuan answered casually. "You have villas, right?"
He had already checked before coming. This place should be selling villas in Shanshui Manor.
The location wasn't remote, and he had heard the security was excellent.
"Yes, but if you'd like to view the properties, we'll need to verify your assets first..."
The villas in Shanshui Manor required prospective buyers to undergo an asset verification to ensure they were qualified to purchase.
Li Mu Chuan directly handed over his bank card.
There was a model of Shanshui Manor in the sales office lobby. Li Mu Chuan liked it the moment he saw it, and his heart stirred.
"Please wait a moment."
The saleswoman hurriedly accepted the bank card and left. When she returned, the way she looked at Li Mu Chuan had immediately changed, as though her eyes were glowing.
"Does this villa have a gym?"
Li Mu Chuan asked the question that concerned him most. Aside from security, a gym was absolutely necessary.
"Yes. There's also a private movie theater, wine cellar, swimming pool, and other facilities below the villa. Everything is fully equipped."
"Sir, why don't I take you over to have a look?"
The saleswoman was exceptionally enthusiastic now. Intentionally or otherwise, she moved closer to Li Mu Chuan, and he could smell her perfume.
Every now and then, he could also catch sight of a startling flash of pale skin.
Li Mu Chuan understood instantly that she was doing it on purpose.
Still, he had to admit that her methods were quite seductive.
"Then let's go take a look at the house."
Li Mu Chuan nodded. Shanshui Manor wasn't particularly far from the sales office, but they still needed to drive.
When she saw the car Li Mu Chuan was driving, she didn't display much surprise.
Given his wealth, driving this car was already extremely low-key.
"What does Mr. Li do? You look so young and successful."
Ning Jia looked at Li Mu Chuan with a faint trace of admiration in her eyes.
An ordinary man would probably feel his vanity greatly satisfied by such a look.
"Unemployed drifter. I stay home and have fun."
Li Mu Chuan watched the road and followed the directions to the entrance of Shanshui Manor, where his car was stopped.
Only after Ning Jia leaned out and said something to the security guard were they allowed through.
"The security guards here are all veterans, and they've received specialized training. Security is absolutely not a problem, though the fees are a little high."
Li Mu Chuan nodded at that. Higher fees weren't a problem. Being poor was.
The car smoothly entered Shanshui Manor. Ning Jia led Li Mu Chuan to tour Third Villa. The villa was enormous, with a large garden out front.
