Chapter 34 It's okay to have a generation gap.
As Zhou Lang left the burger shop, another young couple was spotted taking selfies in his Audi RS6.
He thought to himself, "Driving this car back to my hometown was definitely the right decision."
In a small county town, Audi A6 and A8 are relatively common, and you might occasionally see one or two Horch cars—but the RS6 is truly as rare as a giant panda.
It is extremely attractive to young people, attracting a lot of attention when parked in public places, and people often take pictures of the car.
For car owners who enjoy driving, being photographed on their car is a very pleasant experience.
The couple thought Zhou Lang also liked the car and was there to take pictures. The boy waved and said, "Wait a moment, we'll be done taking pictures soon and then you can have it."
Zhou Lang stood at a distance and waved his hand, replying, "It's okay, you can take pictures."
Su Ying'er curiously peeked out and asked, "I've always wanted to ask, why is your Audi A6 different from other cars? It has such a big rear end."
"Because you could buy about five of these cars, the 40th generation Audi A6s."
Su Ying'er stared in surprise: "No wonder I noticed so many people glancing at me when they passed by the store just now."
She gently tugged at Zhou Lang's sleeve again: "So you're a tycoon! My apologies! Can I curry favor with you, tycoon?"
Zhou Lang's gaze swept over Su Ying'er's pair of shapely, long legs without leaving a trace.
He thought to himself, "Ying'er, you're the one who should be begging for a ride..."
When the gaze fell on Su Ying'er's head, the "favorability probability" column on the Money Power System interface changed again.
[40% chance of her becoming your girlfriend]
This is the data given by the system after the second meeting with Su Ying'er, which is 20% higher than the first meeting.
And when Su Ying'er learned the real price of the RS6, this figure continued to rise.
[60% chance of her becoming your girlfriend]
20% is based on first impression, 20% on pleasant conversation, and 20% on a comfortable and secure material life.
Zhou Lang felt that the probability given by the system made a pretty good sense.
After the young couple finished taking photos, they were still talking about their future. Zhou Lang heard the boy say that he dreamed of buying an RS6. The girl said it was too expensive, but since they liked it, they would save money together to buy a used Audi Q3 first, and then work hard to upgrade to a brand new Audi A5 or Q5L.
Once they had walked a little further away, Zhou Lang approached the car, unlocked it, and got in.
Su Ying'er tilted her head, suppressing a laugh: "Why didn't they guess you were the car owner?"
Zhou Lang chuckled, immediately recalling Michelle's comment, and said, "To borrow a phrase from one of my good friends, my Semir outfit doesn't match my million-dollar Audi at all."
Su Ying'er thought for a moment and said, "That's true. Among our group of classmates who practice sports, the boys who drive Ford Mustangs all wear Chrome Hearts. Those who drive Changan Univs, at the very least, wear Off-White, Supreme, or Comme des Garçons, right?"
"What is all this?" Zhou Lang exclaimed, indicating he had never heard of any of them. "Shouldn't it be one bird, two trees, and three roads?"
"What is all this?" Su Ying'er was also dumbfounded, and she showed the same look of surprise as Zhou Lang.
Zhou Lang explained, "Arc'teryx, Corona, Descente—these are the brands that people around me are quite fond of."
"I've only ever heard of Archaeopteryx..." Su Ying'er stuck out her tongue cutely, "Oh no, there's a generation gap."
Zhou Lang thought to himself that was true. He was 26 years old, born in 00, and had been out of college for four years. Su Ying'er was 18 years old, born around 07 or 08, and had just taken the college entrance examination.
They were supposed to be from two different worlds, with their social paths never intersecting.
Before Zhou Lang could speak, she took out her phone and typed away, continuing, "But it's okay if there's a generation gap, I'll go back and do some research, then we'll have something in common to talk about tomorrow."
Zhou Lang smiled and said, "Then I'll pick you up tomorrow morning, at the same hotel as before?"
Su Ying'er shook her head: "I changed to another place. Tonight I booked a guesthouse. The owner also has a game experience center. If you stay one night, you can play Switch and PS5 for free."
"Oh, I remember that shop. It's owned by my classmate's brother-in-law."
Zhou Lang said, "Their store has promotions every year. Locals can get a 40% discount by showing their family members' college entrance exam admission tickets. Have you already placed an order? If you want to save some money, you can cancel and I'll place another one."
"Great! I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow with the money I saved. How about Korean fried chicken and army stew?"
OK.
……
In the afternoon, Su Ying'er arrived at the guesthouse.
She registered at the front desk and gave Zhou Lang's mobile phone number to check in.
Perhaps it was because the college entrance exams were over, but the number of couples checking into the hotel had surged. The owner casually remarked, "Just to confirm, Ms. Su, right? If your boyfriend is also staying here, he'll need to register at the front desk as well."
Su Ying'er's eyelashes trembled slightly as she quickly organized her thoughts.
If it were someone she had no feelings for, she might deny it outright and quickly correct her, "He's not my boyfriend, no one will come."
But if the person in question was Zhou Lang, Su Ying'er subconsciously felt that there was no need to explain further to the receptionist, so she quietly hummed in agreement.
Meanwhile, at Zhou Lang's home.
Zhou Xixi is going to fly kites with her classmates tomorrow. Zhou Lang will act as her free driver and is also responsible for finding the Jingyan kite that hasn't flown in ages in the small storage room.
Zhou Lang moved a small stool to the courtyard, filled a basin with water, and wiped the kite clean.
Just as I was wringing out the rag, the system in my mind suddenly emitted a beautiful notification sound, comparable to heavenly music.
[Active cash ability detected. Bind?]
"What the heck?"
Zhou Lang threw down the rag, his face full of astonishment: "Where did this come from?"
Upon opening the system interface...
Name: Su Ying'er
[Money Power: Savings Account (Gold)]
[Status: Activable, 60% chance of becoming your girlfriend (if she doesn't deny your relationship when others ask about it)]
"No, wait a minute."
The system's judgment was so lenient that Zhou Lang, as a beneficiary, was naturally overjoyed.
"System, my sworn brother! You're reliable!"
I thought I'd have to wait a few more days until my relationship with Su Ying'er warmed up, and then try dating to solidify our relationship before I could unlock it.
This is great! Every extra day saved is equivalent to earning 5000 yuan worth of designated goods for free.
"Bind!"
Su Ying'er's [Savings Account] was inserted into the empty slot.
[Effect: When your savings reach 300,000 to 500,000, you can designate one store each day to receive a daily bonus equal to 1% of your savings. This bonus accumulates for one week; if unused, it will be cleared the following week.]
[The host's Alipay account has been detected to meet the requirements for Cash Power; a credit limit of 5000 yuan has been issued today.]
Zhou Lang opened Alipay on his phone.
Previously, the "Show Your Sword!" campaign rewarded the swimming and gym with its financial power, and also transferred 504000 yuan accumulated from the pre-paid memberships to Zhou Lang.
Zhou Lang had already transferred 50 yuan into Yu'ebao, but it hadn't been 30 days yet, so he hadn't reached Alipay's Wealth Black Card V2 level.
After becoming a black card user, you can claim the corresponding skin. The Alipay interface will turn dark blue, and the font will change to a white-gold or gold tone.
He walked out of the courtyard and looked across at a farm machinery shop.
[Is "Hengda Agricultural Machinery Parts" designated as today's participating store?]
Zhou Lang frantically clicked the "X" in his mind to close this option.
There was also a mobile cart selling jujube cakes nearby.
[Is "Le Mei Xian - Delicious Jujube Cake" designated as today's featured store?]
Still frantically clicking the X's.
If you accidentally use up your designated daily allowance, you might end up with a corn thresher worth 5000 yuan... or a date cake worth 5000 yuan...
That would be a huge problem.
"Today's credit limit can be accumulated and will expire in 7 days."
"If we use them together tomorrow, it will be 10000 yuan."
