Chapter 496: Full of Praise
Chapter 496: Full of Praise
Xu Xiangbei recalled the first time he met Ah Rong, it was with the Lamborghini racing amidst the traffic.
At that time, Xu Xiangbei did not know the owner of the Lamborghini would be a young and beautiful lady, or a bodyguard sent by his grandfather to protect him.
Different from that day, there was no red Ferrari from Shen Congru.
It was quite a coincidence, when Xu Xiangbei’s Porsche overtook the Lamborghini, turning a corner first.
Xu Xiangbei immediately noticed a red Ferrari, as fiery as fire, slowly driving ahead on his right; from the license plate, it was Shen Congru’s Ferrari.
The three cars encountered each other again, and Xu Xiangbei called Shen Congru with a smile: "Where are you, kid?"
Shen Congru’s lazy voice came from the phone: "I’m about to head to Crown KTV, meeting clients there for a drink."
Xu Xiangbei laughed, a plan forming: "Going to Crown KTV? What a coincidence, I’m heading there too; my car is right behind you. Help me block Ah Rong’s black Lamborghini, and I’ll cover your drinks tonight."
Seeing Xu Xiangbei’s silver Porsche from the rearview mirror, Shen Congru laughed: "Alright, President Xu, keep your word. You go ahead, I already see Ah Rong’s Lamborghini, I’ll block it for you."
Xu Xiangbei stepped on the gas pedal, swoosh, creating a whirlwind as he dashed onto the opposite lane, weaving past a blocking Audi in front and returning to his lane.
Ah Rong wanted to imitate Xu Xiangbei, but Shen Congru’s Ferrari occupied the best overtaking position, with two cars blocking in front of Ah Rong, preventing her from overtaking.
Ah Rong angrily honked the horn, complaining that the red Ferrari was intentionally messing with her, but her sharp-eyed passenger, Ouyang Jiahui recognized it as Shen Congru’s car: "Isn’t that Brother Shen’s Ferrari?"
With Ouyang Jiahui’s reminder, Ah Rong also recognized Shen Congru’s Ferrari and cursed angrily: "Xu Xiangbei, you dare to play tricks, that’s too much."
Ah Rong stomped on the gas, seemingly trying to overtake from the left lane, as the red Ferrari quickly moved to the left to occupy the best overtaking spot, preventing Ah Rong from overtaking.
However, a disdainful cold smile played at the corners of Ah Rong’s lips, and she gently turned the wheel to the right, surprising everyone as the black Lamborghini overtook the Ferrari from the left using the sidewalk.
As she overtook the Ferrari, Ah Rong rolled down the window, gave Shen Congru the middle finger, and like a black arrow, she pierced through the traffic, disappearing into the night.
Due to Shen Congru’s interference, Ah Rong fell too far behind and lost the race.
When Ah Rong arrived at the Crown KTV parking lot, Xu Xiangbei was already there waiting for her with a mischievous grin.
"Ha, all the drinks are on you tonight."
Ah Rong looked disdainful: "You played tricks, having that dummy block my car."
Xu Xiangbei grinned slyly: "I admit that, but the rules didn’t say you can’t use other cars to block the way during a race, right? You have to make use of all possible resources to win the race; I was just reasonably utilizing the road’s resources. If it were you, wouldn’t you do the same?"
Though she didn’t get along well with Ah Rong, seeing Xu Xiangbei being so arrogant, Gu Xinyan and Ouyang Jiahui felt sympathy for Ah Rong and together chastised Xu Xiangbei.
Gu Xinyan retorted angrily: "This is cheating, getting someone to help you, this race doesn’t count."
Ouyang Jiahui shook her grapefruit explosion hairstyle: "Do you have any shame, bullying a girl."
Being reprimanded by Gu Xinyan and Ouyang Jiahui, Xu Xiangbei couldn’t argue: "This race is between Ah Rong and me, it’s none of your business, don’t meddle."
Gu Xinyan sneered: "You yourself said more than once that someone has to step in when things aren’t fair, and you’re unfair, so of course we have to intervene. I say tonight is on me, so the drinks are on me, Ah Rong, you don’t need to pay."
With a look of regret, Ouyang Jiahui pinched Xu Xiangbei’s arm: "You’re really becoming more and more stingy, even arguing over drinks with a girl, you should be the one covering the drinks tonight."
Seeing Gu Xinyan and Ouyang Jiahui arguing with Xu Xiangbei on her behalf, Ah Rong couldn’t help but laugh; she stopped the aggressive Gu Xinyan and Ouyang Jiahui: "Thank you for speaking up for me, but according to Brother Xu, his win isn’t cheating, so I’ll cover tonight’s drinks."
Gu Xinyan’s face flushed slightly: "Sister Ah Rong, if you really want to pay for the drinks, just pay half."
Lu Xiaomei couldn’t wait to rush into the 218 VIP private room, where a group of girls ordered popcorn, beer, red wine, and sat in the KTV room singing with great enthusiasm while Xu Xiangbei, unable to stand Lu Xiaomei’s loud voice, went to the performance hall.
Seeing Xu Xiangbei arriving, Iron Head greeted him from afar: "Dr. Xu, haha, would you like some company from the ladies?"
He flicked a finger at Iron Head’s hard bald head: "Like hell I would; can’t you see, I brought four ladies with me, getting more company? Afraid they’d eat me alive."
Iron Head grinned broadly; he’d seen from the surveillance cameras that Xu Xiangbei had brought four ladies, and the private room was specially reserved for Xu Xiangbei by Iron Head.
Xu Xiangbei asked: "Have the snacks, fruit plate, and red wine I ordered been delivered?"
Iron Head replied respectfully: "Dr. Xu, rest assured, I delivered two bottles of top-notch red wine to your room, along with ten big packages of snacks, more than enough for them to enjoy tonight."
Following Iron Head to the performance hall, they heard the powerful drumbeats combined with fast-paced music, exhilarating and exciting.
Curious, Xu Xiangbei asked: "What program are you performing in the hall tonight? The music and drumbeats have such a strong rhythm. Is there someone singing?"
Iron Head flashed a cryptic smile: "You’ll know what the program is when you go inside, I won’t spoil it. I just guarantee you’ll love it, I’ve reserved table number one for you, follow me."
The performance hall was already packed, but the number one table at the front remained empty, a VIP sign stood on it, and a waiter was there to keep an eye on it to prevent anyone from mistakenly sitting there.
Iron Head led Xu Xiangbei through the crowd to table number one, smiling and pulling out the chair for Xu Xiangbei: "Dr. Xu, please sit, this seat is specially reserved for you, it’s the most comfortable place to watch the show."
Xu Xiangbei smiled, remembering the last time the sparring team Qiao Jun and the judo team Coach Big Beard almost had a conflict with him for this seat.
On the table were several cans of beer, a top-notch bottle of Bordeaux red wine, and a colorful plate filled with various fruits, along with all the necessary dining utensils such as glasses, forks, etc.
Picking up a piece of bright red watermelon and putting it in his mouth, it was sweet, juicy, and refreshing. Xu Xiangbei couldn’t help but praise it; he not only lauded the watermelon as delicious but also praised Iron Head for his excellent management.
