Top Supercar, Koenigsegg

Since Su Bai had invited her, Zhou Jialu naturally decided to give it a try.

She pressed close to him from behind, wrapping her hands around his wrists.

Afterward, she even rose on her tiptoes to plant a kiss near his ear.

Ah, what a satisfying sense of accomplishment.

While the waitress was teaching Su Bai how to grill the meat, Zhou Jialu kept a close watch, thoroughly convinced that Su Bai had absolutely no interest in the girl.

He remained completely unfazed.

"Alright, alright, let’s eat before the venison gets cold," Su Bai said, pulling his senior into a brief hug before guiding her back to her seat. "What a coincidence—first, we’re having grilled venison, and later at the hotel, we’ll be having some more 'venison'..."

"Ugh, you’re terrible!"

Speaking of which, venison is indeed edible. In some countries abroad, it’s considered a fairly common dish, similar to how horse meat is consumed in certain regions.

The meat is lean, and if not prepared well, it can turn tough and unappetizing.

Fortunately, the restaurant used venison that had undergone an aging process.

"Aging" is a fermentation technique commonly used in Western cuisine for meat. Essentially, the meat is stored in a controlled environment at a constant temperature, allowing it to undergo slow, controlled fermentation. This enhances the texture and develops new flavors.

Undoubtedly, it’s a method reserved for those with both money and time to spare.

According to the waitress, today’s venison had been aged for 21 days.

The meat had become tender and fragrant.

Paired with the perfect grilling technique, it was anything but tough—especially when enjoyed with sesame sauce and diced onions, creating a uniquely delightful experience.

"This is really good!" Zhou Jialu was pleasantly surprised. She rarely ate exotic meats or insects, always finding the idea a bit intimidating.

"That waitress knows her way around grilling meat, but her flirting skills could use some work."

"Then what kind of skills would it take to catch your attention?" Zhou Jialu gazed at Su Bai, her eyes slightly hazy.

Su Bai didn’t answer immediately. Instead...

"Junior, let’s hurry up and eat. I’m feeling a little... impatient."

"Sure."

......

The underground parking lot.

Su Bai couldn’t help but feel smug about his decision to drive the GLE here.

First, the SUV offered more space. Second, it had tinted windows—unlike the Panamera, which hadn’t been fitted with them yet.

In the back seat, Zhou Jialu had melted into a soft, pliant mess, like a puddle of slime.

Su Bai reluctantly straightened his clothes before letting his senior rest in the back.

Then, without hesitation, he moved to the front seat and started the car.

At the W Hotel, they checked in at lightning speed.

......

It wasn’t until past three in the afternoon that they returned to the auto show.

Luckily, they weren’t too late—Liu Chen'ang had only just finished handling his own business.

"Everything settled? You look like you’ve been through the wringer."

"Ugh, it’s a long story... Where’s your companion?"

"Oh, she got tired at lunch and booked a hotel room to rest. I’m just touring the show alone this afternoon."

Su Bai replied casually, his expression perfectly relaxed.

Zhou Jialu’s stamina was nothing compared to Shengsheng’s.

She had surrendered after just a couple of rounds.

Hearing the suggestive undertone in Su Bai’s words, Liu Chen'ang froze for a moment before his face flushed unnaturally.

His gaze involuntarily drifted toward Su Bai’s chest and abs.

...No, no. He couldn’t let himself think like that.

It would probably freak Su Bai out. After all, everyone saw him as a man, and Su Bai’s preferences were clearly... very straightforward.

Besides, Liu Chen'ang’s upbringing had been... complicated.

Aside from addressing his chronic frailty, his family had insisted on raising him as a boy for other reasons—reasons that mattered deeply to them.

From childhood, he had been conditioned to suppress any thoughts or behaviors associated with being a girl.

Anything remotely feminine was instilled in him as shameful.

So now, even feeling the slightest attraction to Su Bai’s physique filled Liu Chen'ang with overwhelming shame.

Yet, human nature is contradictory.

Sometimes, the more forbidden the thought, the more it lingers.

And so, Liu Chen'ang found himself caught in this spiral of guilt and longing, his emotions quietly fermenting.

[Ding! Detected S-tier beauty Liu Chenyang (Liu Chen'ang). Affection +1. Current affection level: 82.]

Noticing Liu Chen'ang’s deepening blush, Su Bai quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, if the problem you’re dealing with can be solved with money, feel free to tell me. I happen to have quite a bit of liquid funds at my disposal."

This wasn’t an exaggeration.

As long as it triggered cashback or an S-tier beauty’s binding reward, Su Bai could spend without a second thought—no regrets.

Currently, his account held over 80 million.

For most business owners, pulling together that kind of ready cash would be a massive headache.

Liquid assets and fixed assets were two entirely different things.

That’s why in business, the saying "cash is king" holds so much weight.

Cash flow is often the best indicator of a company’s health.

Liu Chen'ang's eyes lit up: "You know what? It really is just a matter of having enough money... though the funding gap is pretty huge. Ugh! Blame that car dealer. He promised to hold the car for me until I scraped together the down payment from my parents, but the jerk found another buyer who could pay half upfront."

"Half? Wait... is this car some million-dollar hypercar or something?" Su Bai had a sinking feeling.

"Yeah, you got it. It's a Koenigsegg Jesko, fully carbon-fiber optioned. Total price... around thirty million."

"How much?! Thirty mil? No wonder your parents refused to buy it for you..."

"Hah, exactly! I was planning to study locally, work on some projects, prove myself a bit before wearing my parents down. Who knew someone would snatch it right from under me?"
