"Who the hell are you cursing at? In what way am I not worthy? How am I unworthy! You disgusting, sick pervert! I knew you were trouble from the start, using 'getting a drink of water' as an excuse to peep at me. You're utterly indecent! And you have the nerve to claim you were just looking at the car? Pah! You know damn well what you were really staring at! I'm warning you, get lost right now, or I'm calling the police! This is harassment!"

Xia Liang rubbed his temples and retorted, "Have you ever considered the possibility that the car you're using for your photoshoot is actually mine?"

"Hahahaha! What did you just say? This car is yours?" The woman with blue, wavy hair, Blue Wave, couldn't stop laughing as she shook her head. "It may be daytime, but that's no reason to be daydreaming. Just look down at what you're wearing. Does any of it not look like it came from a street stall? Dressed like that, you have the nerve to say this car is yours? Please, even if you're going to lie, at least have the professional decency to draft a script first!"

Xia Liang shook his head. It's not her fault she can't recognize custom-made clothes, but seriously, couldn't she at least look at my watch?

Just then, a System notification sounded from his phone.

[DING! An ordinary real-time order has been assigned to you. Please proceed to...]

Hearing the System notification from Xia Liang's phone, Blue Wave froze for a second before bursting out laughing.

"Hahahaha! I was wondering what you did for a living. So you're just a Didi driver!"

Blue Wave's tone was dripping with sarcasm as she continued, "What? Is driving for Didi so lucrative these days? You can just buy a Hui Teng worth over ten Yuan on a whim?"

However, Xia Liang seemed completely oblivious to her sarcasm and answered with a straight face.

"That's right! Being a Didi driver is extremely profitable! I earned enough for this Hui Teng just from driving for Didi! Being a Didi driver is the most lucrative profession of this century. You deserve to join. How about you consider it?"

"..."

Blue Wave was speechless. She had lost all desire to argue. This man has to be crazy!

Seeing her silence, Xia Liang sighed helplessly. "Alright, it seems we won't have the chance to become members of the same big family. Now, could you please move aside?"

"Why should I move? Don't tell me you want to take pictures too? Besides, your order just came in. Shouldn't you be rushing to pick up your passenger?"

Xia Liang gave her a strange look. "Yes, I need to hurry and pick up my passenger. But I can't exactly walk there, can I? I need to drive, and you're blocking my car."

On the verge of a breakdown, Blue Wave snapped, "Can you stop bullshitting?! If a Didi driver like you could afford a Hui Teng, then I'll..."

Before she could finish, she saw Xia Liang take out a car key and press a button. The next second, the headlights of the Hui Teng behind her flashed, the car emitted a soft chirp, and the doors slowly swung open automatically.

The rest of Blue Wave's words were caught in her throat. She looked up to see that Xia Liang had stood up and was now watching her with a half-smile.

The atmosphere was eerily quiet. Blue Wave felt as though the wind itself had turned into invisible hands, slapping her across the face again and again. SLAP! SLAP!

While Blue Wave was still in a daze, Xia Liang had already slipped into the driver's seat.

A sharp honk from the car snapped her out of it, and she instinctively stepped aside to clear the path. Xia Liang drove the car forward a little, stopped right in front of her, and rolled down the window.

With a slight smile, he said, "Allow me to correct a small mistake of yours. This is indeed a Hui Teng, but to be precise, it's a custom-edition Hui Teng, worth forty-five Yuan!"

With that, Xia Liang stomped on the accelerator and sped away in a roar of engine noise.

Only then did Blue Wave finally regain her senses. An idea suddenly struck her, and she quickly looked in the direction Xia Liang had gone. In the final moments before the Hui Teng disappeared from view, she memorized its license plate number and distinctive features.

***

The afternoon flew by in a flash. After completing about seven or eight rides, Xia Liang's luck had been pretty good. He received two hidden tasks, which rewarded him with eighty Work Points, an apartment, and an expensive electric vehicle.

He wasn't sure why an electric vehicle was a reward, but a quick look revealed it was some high-tech model with a price tag comparable to a sports car. Why is it so expensive?

"As I walk down the long street~"

"Listening to the actor sing of Jingcheng~"

"Amid the chaotic crowd, the clown performs~"

"Yellow leaves retreat into the long autumn~"

Humming a tune, Xia Liang drove to Jincheng International in a pleasant mood. This was his new place in Shangjing.

He had just reached the main gate of the complex, not yet having driven inside, when he saw a familiar figure suddenly dash out from the side of the road, blocking his car!

Taking a closer look, Xia Liang realized it was none other than Blue Wave, the woman he had met at noon.

Xia Liang rolled down his window, his face a mask of confusion. "What are you doing here?"

"I came here specifically to find you, of course!"

"To find me for what?"

Blue Wave leaned against the open window, making sure to display her impressive assets for Xia Liang to see. She smiled flirtatiously and said, "Oh, listen to yourself. What else would I be looking for you for? The incident at noon was my fault. I was ignorant and offended you. See? I've come to apologize!"

As she spoke, Blue Wave pulled out a hotel room key card and dangled it in front of him. She gave a little wink and licked her lips. "See? I've already booked the room! What happens next is your call!"

"..."

Xia Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. So she's chasing me down to be her sugar daddy!

"Wait, how did you know I live here?"

"I didn't!" Blue Wave said, smoothing her hair with a smug smile. "But I do know that over ninety percent of the truly wealthy people in Shangjing live in Jiangcheng Garden. If you can spend forty-five Yuan on a car, your assets must be at least in the thousands! The housing prices in Shangjing are nothing to you! So, I figured there was a high probability you'd be living here!"

She continued, "So, I came here in advance and have been staking out the gate ever since. I memorized your license plate number and the features of your car before, so I knew I'd recognize it the second you drove back!"

Damn! Is she playing some kind of cross-country manhunt with me?

Xia Liang was rendered speechless. After a long silence, he said, "Seriously, with that kind of persistence, if you just put it towards starting a business or something, you could afford to live here on your own!"

"Why should a woman like me go through all the trouble of starting a business? Isn't it much better to find a rich man to take care of me and make money just by lying down? Isn't that sweet?"

Xia Liang couldn't be bothered with her any longer. He shook his head and said, "Suit yourself. There are plenty of rich men around here, so go find one of them. I'm not interested in you. Stop bothering me!"

With that, Xia Liang rolled up his window and drove into the complex.

His firm rejection wasn't because he was some great, principled gentleman. He was simply not interested in her at all. He was eager to see his new apartment in Shangjing.

As Xia Liang drove away, Blue Wave's expression darkened. She let out a cold snort and turned to leave.

The older security guard in the booth at the gate had witnessed the entire exchange and now muttered to himself in disbelief, "Is begging to be a sugar baby the new trend these days?"

He paused. "And the key thing is, the rich guy flat-out refused!"

The young security guard beside him nodded. After a moment, he added, "This world has gone crazy. Even mice are serving as bridesmaids for cats!"

***

Going through the formalities took half an hour. Once he completed the check-in process, Xia Liang received two keys. At the same time, his phone rang.

It was from a delivery company, and Xia Liang instantly knew what it was about.

He headed to the main gate. Sure enough, a delivery truck was parked outside. The courier was waiting, chatting with the gate's security guard.
