Chapter 188 Past!
"Playing it safe and steady now may seem like a safe strategy with low risk, but it also means we've lost the best opportunity for development. Larissa, I need you to understand that when I, Zhong Yuemin, do something, I either don't do it or I'm the best in the industry."
"Then you are quite ambitious!"
Zhong Yuemin shrugged.
"I think we are the same kind of people. It's good to have ambition. If you don't have any desires, you won't have the motivation to pursue anything."
Larissa said, "Then I'll do my best. Let's have a drink!"
The two clinked glasses and left the restaurant an hour later. When they reached the door, the woman drove a red Audi sedan, which was very stylish.
"Is this yours?"
"Ok!"
"not bad!"
Seeing that the man was eager to try, Larissa threw the car keys to him and said, "Why don't you drive!"
"You won't dig a ditch for me?"
Larissa smiled.
"Didn't you just say you can drive a tractor on the hilly loess of northern Shaanxi? How can the flat terrain and smooth concrete roads here be a problem for you? But we drive on the left here, so remember that."
They all follow the old British method.
Zhong Yuemin put the key ring on his finger and turned it around. "Get in the car!"
The two of them sat in the driver's seat and the passenger seat. It was the first time for them to touch the steering wheel of a car. Men love cars just like women love shopping. They are born with it. They inserted the key to start the car, released the handbrake, engaged the gear, lifted the clutch, stepped on the accelerator, and it was done in one go. They were on the road smoothly.
Larissa was surprised, "You've learned before, do you have a driver's license?"
Zhong Yuemin shook his head. "I just like cars and like to think about them. Where do you live?"
Half an hour later, we arrived at our residence, which was located in a residential area near Causeway Bay. The car stopped downstairs and Larissa unbuckled her seat belt.
"Come to my house and have a cup of coffee."
"Forget it. I won't disturb you and your family so late. I'll drive away and pick you up tomorrow."
"Are you testing me?"
"what?"
"I'm not that old, am I? I'm not married, and I live alone. If you go up there and sit, you'll know which floor and which room I live in. It will be convenient for you to come over later. Don't worry, I don't eat people."
Zhong Yuemin touched his nose, said nothing more, unbuckled his seat belt, and the two got out of the car and entered the building together. They took the elevator to the eighth floor and came out to a long corridor. There was no two households per elevator, or one household per elevator. It looked like there should be quite a few residents on this floor. They went to the room at the end on the right and opened the door. The room was not big, about 70 or 80 square meters, with a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and balcony. The floor was brown, and the furniture and appliances were arranged in an orderly manner, giving people a sense of home warmth and comfort. It was quite nice.
"Just sit down, I'll make you some coffee!"
Zhong Yuemin went over and sat on the large sofa in the living room. The woman brought him coffee.
"Be careful!"
"Thank you!" He took a sip, placed it on the coffee table in front of him, and said, "Did you buy this house or rent it?"
"I just bought it. I used to rent a house, but now I think Hong Kong Island is a good place for me. I also like the environment here, so I decided to buy a house and settle down."
"What about your family?"
"It's all gone!"
"What happened?"
Larissa said:
"You know my background. I'm from the North. Although it's a huge country, many of the so-called member states were forced to join. They have no freedom, not even basic dignity and survival. My family is actually quite good. My father was an officer, but for some reason, he was persecuted. My mother, a brother, and a sister all died tragically. I was studying in Hong Kong Island at the time and escaped, but my home and family were gone at that time."
