Chapter 6: Getting a Free Designated Driver
Chapter 6: Getting a Free Designated Driver
"A...AA?"
The air seemed to freeze for a second.
Jiang Yirou's lipstick stopped in mid-air. She looked up, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"AA?" she repeated the word again. "Kang, are you serious?"
"Hmm, don't you think it's pretty fair?" Zhou Kang nodded.
Jiang Yirou's smile froze.
Her voice was still relatively calm, but her tone had turned somewhat cold.
"We're on a blind date, it's our first meeting, isn't it usually the guy who pays?"
"And..." she paused, her eyes becoming somewhat complicated, "Didn't you just say you'd give me 300,000 a month and buy me a car? How come now you can't even afford a meal..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but what she wanted to express was already obvious.
Zhou Kang shrugged: "Those are things for the future. The relationship isn't confirmed yet."
"You!" Jiang Yirou tried hard to suppress her dissatisfaction and forced a smile.
"Brother Kang, you're not testing me, are you?"
She tried to give Zhou Kang a way out.
After all, what if the other party really is rich and just wants to test me?
"It's not a test," Zhou Kang said frankly. "I just think splitting the bill is more reasonable."
Jiang Yirou's smile vanished completely.
She stared at Zhou Kang for a few seconds, her eyes gradually turning cold.
"Fine," she sneered, "then let's split the bill."
Although she said that, she was already feeling uneasy inside.
What exactly does this man mean?
Is he really rich or is he just pretending?
If you're really rich, why do you have to split the bill even for a meal?
If you don't have money, then were all those promises just now false?
Zhou Kang ignored Jiang Yirou and took out his phone.
The moment he unlocked his screen, a series of message notifications sounded.
【招财银行】您的帐户于9月14日20:05入帐人民币300,000.00元,当前余额:1,160,000.00元。
Jiang Yirou, who was about to pay, glanced over intentionally or unintentionally.
He froze completely.
Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand, hundred thousand...
Three hundred thousand?!
And that remaining balance...
One million six hundred thousand!?
This was the most money she had ever seen in her life.
Her hands began to tremble uncontrollably, her breathing became rapid, and her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.
There was only one thought in my mind!
You absolutely must catch this man!
No matter the cost!
Immediately afterwards, feelings of regret and ecstasy welled up inside me.
What did I just do?
He actually mocked a rich second-generation with a balance of over one million yuan in his bank account because of the issue of splitting the bill.
It's over! It's over!
The duck that was almost in our hands is about to fly away!
Why was I so impatient just now? I couldn't even part with the money for this meal?
Will it leave him with the impression that I lack vision and am greedy for small gains?
No! We must salvage this!
"Oh dear, Brother Kang, what are you doing?" Jiang Yirou's attitude changed instantly, and her voice became coquettish.
Before Zhou Kang could even open the payment code, she grabbed his phone and pressed it down.
"I booked this meal, how can I let you pay?"
She quickly pulled out her card and handed it to the waiter: "I'll pay, swipe my card! No PIN!"
The waiter was taken aback. Didn't they just say they wanted to split the bill?
"Hurry up!" Jiang Yirou urged.
Then, she turned to Zhou Kang and looked at him affectionately: "Brother, I was just joking with you. We were getting along so well, talking about money would hurt our feelings!"
"This time, let me treat you."
She held Zhou Kang's hand, gently stroking the back of his hand with her fingers, her eyes full of flattery.
Zhou Kang calmly withdrew his hand, a smile appearing on his face: "Since Miss Jiang is so polite, then I shall accept it without further ado."
After saying that, he put his phone down.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yirou's expression froze.
Brother, why did you believe that again? You should at least have been polite and said you'd pay half, right?
Zhou Kang naturally saw Jiang Yirou's reaction and chuckled inwardly.
You disagreed with splitting the bill earlier, but now you're saying you want to pay the full amount yourself!
However, he still made a big promise to Jiang Yirou.
"I don't like owing people. How about this, next time we go out, I'll reimburse you!"
Anyway, making empty promises doesn't cost any money, so just make them!
Hearing this, Jiang Yirou's expression softened somewhat. She was about to say a few polite words, but then stopped herself.
She was afraid that Zhou Kang would take it seriously again and really stop spending money on her.
At this point, the waiter had already swiped the card and handed over the receipt and card together.
Jiang Yirou took the receipt and looked at the numbers on it; her heart was bleeding.
This was money she had saved by working hard and living frugally, money she had intended to use to buy a new camera lens.
But now, what does this little bit of money matter in order to keep Zhou Kang in check?
She'd be willing to pay any price, even 40,000, if it meant winning him over!
Moreover, Zhou Kang had just promised to reimburse him for the next time they went out together.
Next time, I'll definitely make him pay dearly!
Make him buy me the most expensive lens!
Let him know that my money isn't so easy to spend!
As the two left the restaurant, Jiang Yirou clung to Zhou Kang's arm, as if she wanted to stick to him.
"Kang, it's still early. How about we go for a drive? I know where the best night view is. Besides, I don't have class tomorrow..."
Jiang Yirou leaned close to Zhou Kang's ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "You don't have to go back to the dorm tonight~"
So proactive? Why didn't you mention more conditions when I asked you to?
Zhou Kang felt a sense of disappointment and frustration towards Jiang Yirou.
"No, I have class tomorrow, I'll go back now."
"Then I'll go back to school too, we're going the same way." Jiang Yirou winked at him, "Besides, I want to spend more time with Brother Kang~"
As she spoke, Jiang Yirou rubbed herself against Zhou Kang again, pressing her soft, supple body against his arm.
But Zhou Kang remained unmoved and was about to leave when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
The system only mentioned blind dates, but it didn't say whether the same person can go on multiple blind dates!
If we can extract more from the same person, wouldn't we be able to keep refreshing?
Moreover, he specifically hired a designated driver to bring his Porsche over today. If he doesn't drive it away, he'll have to pay parking fees for leaving it here.
Why not go with the flow? It would allow Jiang Yirou to see his abilities and also get a free designated driver?
Thinking of this, Zhou Kang abruptly pulled back his foot, which had already stepped out. He looked at Jiang Yirou with a broad smile.
……
Underground Parking Lot.
When Jiang Yirou saw the Porsche Panamera Turbo S Executive Extended Edition, she was completely stunned.
This car must cost at least two million, right?
The price was similar to the Maserati I wanted.
What does this tell us?
This shows that they really have the ability!
Moreover, it could very well be done with ease!
Worth it! This meal was totally worth the money!
We must seize this opportunity!
Ignoring Jiang Yirou, who was standing there in a daze, Zhou Kang opened the back door and got in, then casually handed her the car keys.
"You drive, I'm a little tired."
"Huh? Oh!"
Jiang Yirou took the car keys as if they were a priceless treasure, her whole body trembling.
It wasn't nervousness, but excitement.
This is a luxury car worth over two million! Zhou Kang just let her drive it without any worries?
What does this mean? It means that I have won his trust!
Jiang Yirou took a deep breath and carefully sat down inside.
The car slowly drove out of the parking lot.
Throughout the journey, Jiang Yirou drove with extreme caution, gripping the steering wheel tightly with both hands and keeping her eyes fixed on the road ahead, afraid of any scratches or bumps.
She would occasionally peek at Zhou Kang through the rearview mirror, trying to find something to talk about, but Zhou Kang had already closed his eyes, seemingly resting.
Jiang Yirou had no choice but to swallow her flattering words and focus on driving.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of Zhou Kang School.
"We've arrived," Jiang Yirou said softly, her voice tinged with reluctance.
Zhou Kang opened his eyes, pushed open the door, and got out of the car.
Jiang Yirou also got out of the car and handed the keys to Zhou Kang: "Brother Kang, here are your keys."
Zhou Kang took the keys and casually said, "Alright, you can go back now."
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the campus.
Jiang Yirou stood there, stunned.
Wait... how am I going to get back by myself?
It's still more than ten kilometers away from my school!
She glanced at Zhou Kang's retreating figure, then at the empty streets around her, and opened her mouth slightly.
But he swallowed the words back down his throat.
No, I can't appear too calculating.
What if Zhou Kang finds himself troublesome and has a bad impression of him?
I've already made so many demands and even paid for the meal. What if all of it goes down the drain because of a few words? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Jiang Yirou took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Take care, Brother Kang! Goodnight!"
Zhou Kang waved his hand without turning his head and quickly disappeared at the school gate.
Jiang Yirou stood there, looking at the empty street, her smile gradually freezing.
She stomped her foot angrily and opened a ride-hailing app.
