Chapter 208 - 150: Unlocking a New Position?
Chapter 208: Chapter 150: Unlocking a New Position?
Seeing the look on Gao Yuan’s face, Xiao Xiao said, a little displeased, "I haven’t even said anything yet. What’s with that expression?"
Gao Yuan knew Xiao Xiao had misunderstood. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to listen. "Xiaoyu was just discussing something with me."
"Oh?"
Xiao Xiao was quite calm. She had known her daughter would talk things over with Gao Yuan; she just hadn’t expected her to be so proactive. Playing along, she took the initiative to ask, "What did Xiaoyu discuss with you?"
"It’s a secret."
Hearing Gao Yuan’s refusal, Xiao Xiao smiled and glanced toward the study. In a slightly pouty tone, she said, "Well, well. Keeping secrets from me now, are we?"
Gao Yuan took a sip of his fruit tea, then leaned close to Xiao Xiao’s ear and whispered, "If you unlock a new position tonight, I’ll tell you."
Xiao Xiao looked up with a smile and nodded.
Then, Gao Yuan told her what he and Xiaoyu had just discussed. It was impossible to keep it from Xiao Xiao anyway, so he just came right out with it.
"I know about that. Xiaoyu discussed it with me."
"I told her to discuss it with you herself."
’So she did know,’ Gao Yuan thought. But that didn’t matter to him. "I don’t care. You promised."
Xiao Xiao gave a radiant smile, patted Gao Yuan’s shoulder, and leaned in to whisper something in his ear.
When Gao Yuan heard it, his face soured. This only made Xiao Xiao laugh even more happily.
Seeing her gloating expression, Gao Yuan suddenly gave a wicked laugh, pulled Xiao Xiao into his lap, and whispered something in her ear.
This time, her face instantly flushed with shyness, and she pushed off his legs to sit up straight.
Gao Yuan stopped teasing her. Even though she was on her period today, there were always other ways to handle things.
Besides, he now understood why Xiao Xiao couldn’t accompany Xiaoyu to the equestrian graduation show. In her current state, being jostled around on horseback would definitely be even more uncomfortable.
After they’d joked around for a bit, Xiao Xiao spoke up again. "I need to discuss something serious with you!"
"Go on, go on. I won’t cause any more trouble this time."
Xiao Xiao let Gao Yuan keep his arm around her waist, his hand roaming restlessly, as she looked at him and said, "There’s a sports car club event tomorrow. I want you to go with me."
"Is it just a get-together?"
Gao Yuan figured that since Xiao Xiao was the one asking, it was no big deal to go with her. It wasn’t an issue at all.
"It’s not exactly a party, more like a gathering for car enthusiasts."
To be honest, Xiao Xiao didn’t really want to attend this kind of gathering. She had gone once when she first bought her sports car and found it was just a bunch of people bragging and hitting on girls.
What’s more, several guys had hit on her, and it was incredibly annoying.
Since Gao Yuan was here now, and she’d already experienced his driving last time, she thought she’d have him accompany her.
Since they had some time, Xiao Xiao gave Gao Yuan a rundown of the supercar club.
This supercar club wasn’t like the car meets you see on TikTok or Xiaohongshu. The entry requirement was a sports car worth over five million yuan.
Furthermore, there were asset requirements. The newly rich needed assets of over fifty million yuan, while the second-generation rich required a family net worth of at least one hundred million.
However, it shared one common trait with ordinary car clubs: there was no shortage of beautiful women, and the "quality" of these women was even higher.
As she said this, Xiao Xiao shot Gao Yuan a pointed look.
Gao Yuan blushed slightly under her gaze but still tried to defend himself.
"I’m a decent guy! I don’t go around playing the field, and I’m not the type to take anyone who comes along, okay!"
Gao Yuan said this with righteous confidence, not the least bit embarrassed, completely forgetting that he had just slept with two different girls in the past two days.
"Alright, I believe you."
Seeing Gao Yuan acting like a child, about to swear a solemn oath, Xiao Xiao grabbed his hand and spoke.
Gao Yuan inwardly sighed in relief. ’You really can’t make promises like that lightly. I was so clueless back then. Now that I have a system, I’ve actually developed a healthy respect for the unknown.’
Next, Xiao Xiao invited Gao Yuan into the supercar club’s WeChat Enterprise group chat.
Since it was Xiao Xiao who invited him, the group admin approved Gao Yuan’s entry directly.
As soon as Gao Yuan joined the group, someone added him on WeChat. The note said: Group Admin, Li Xiyue.
Gao Yuan hadn’t expected the admin to be a woman. Judging from her profile picture, she was quite attractive.
"The admin of your supercar club is a woman?"
Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes at him. "What did you expect?"
"Otherwise, you think I’d join just any club!"
Gao Yuan thought about it and realized it made sense. Xiao Xiao wasn’t the type to party hard. Her social circle was high-end, but not messy.
Gao Yuan accepted Li Xiyue’s friend request.
"Hello, I’m Li Xiyue, the founder of the Shanghai Supercar Club."
"What’s your relationship with Xiao Xiao? This is the first time I’ve ever seen her invite a man to join."
Gao Yuan directly showed the messages from Li Xiyue to Xiao Xiao. It seemed Xiao Xiao was quite familiar with this Li Xiyue. She laughed and said, "Her personality... she’s basically one of the guys. You’ll see when you meet her tomorrow."
With that, Xiao Xiao took Gao Yuan’s phone and replied: "He’s my man."
After that message was sent, Li Xiyue didn’t reply to Gao Yuan again. Instead, Xiao Xiao’s phone buzzed, and Gao Yuan saw her start chatting with Li Xiyue.
Meanwhile, the group chat started buzzing with activity now that a new person had joined.
@Er: Newbie, post a pic!
@Er: Bro, show us your ride. Let everyone have a look.
