Liu Xiaoyuan stood aside without saying a word, watching to see if Lu Siyao would trade her hairpin for Yang Zihan's.
If Lu Siyao agreed, Liu Xiaoyuan would be somewhat disappointed. His disappointment wasn't due to Lu Siyao's judgment—trading his mid-level magic weapon for a low-level one.
What's disappointing is Lu Siyao's character. When she saw that Yang Zihan's magic weapon was more powerful, she wanted to exchange it with her. This kind of character is just opportunistic behavior.
Fortunately, Lu Siyao did not disappoint Liu Xiaoyuan. She shook her head and said, "No need, Sister Zihan. Although this magic weapon is not as powerful as yours, you saw it just now. It was able to break a big tree. This has already been a great help to me in capturing criminals."
"Besides, my cultivation level is not as high as yours. Perhaps when my cultivation level is the same as yours, the power of this magic weapon I use will increase accordingly."
As Lu Siyao herself said, this hairpin is a mid-level magic weapon, while Lu Siyao's cultivation is only at the early stage of Qi Refining. It's like a child carrying an adult's weapon. Even if the weapon is a precious sword that can cut through iron like mud, it won't be able to exert any power in the child's hands.
After the two women finished testing the power of the magical artifact, they went back to work.
Liu Xiaoyuan wasn't working, and since he had nothing else to do during this time, he spent his free time at home, enjoying his leisure time, which was quite pleasant.
However, the pleasant time was easily interrupted by a phone call. Liu Xiaoyuan was resting on a cool chair at home when his phone rang.
Upon seeing that it was Lin Xin calling, Liu Xiaoyuan answered the phone and asked, "Hello, Uncle Lin, what's up?"
Lin Xin said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's just that it's been a long time since I've had dinner with you, Xiao Yuan. Are you free tonight? Come over for dinner!"
Liu Xiaoyuan, thinking that he had nothing else to do that evening, naturally agreed.
It was past six o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun still showed no sign of setting. After saying goodbye to his family, Liu Xiaoyuan drove off.
When Liu Xiaoyuan arrived at the entrance of Lin Xin's residential area, he unexpectedly ran into Zhao Zihao and Li Chunxiao. The two were talking to the security guards, seemingly looking for someone.
After the security guard spoke to the two men for a few minutes, they got into the car without noticing Liu Xiaoyuan behind them.
Liu Xiaoyuan rolled down the car window and said to the security guard with a smile, "Brother security guard, I'm here to see Chairman Lin."
The security guard knew Liu Xiaoyuan because Liu Xiaoyuan had run into him several times when he came to see Lin Xin, and they had become acquainted over time.
The security guard immediately said, "Go in, Chairman Lin just got back not long ago!"
"Thank you." Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and said thank you, then rolled up the car window and drove inside.
When Liu Xiaoyuan arrived at Lin Xin's house, he saw Zhao Zihao's car parked at the gate of Lin Xin's villa, and Zhao Zihao and Li Chunxiao were standing at the iron gate ringing the doorbell.
Hearing the noise from the other cars, Zhao Zihao and Li Chunxiao immediately turned around and spotted Liu Xiaoyuan sitting in one of them.
Li Chunxiao was very surprised. She did not expect that Liu Xiaoyuan's car was a Mercedes-Benz, and one of the most luxurious cars at that.
Zhao Zihao's eyes widened. People who could afford this car were usually successful. Of course, there was also the possibility that it was the driver!
Zhao Zihao suddenly felt that Liu Xiaoyuan was just a driver. Thinking this, Zhao Zihao's surprised expression disappeared, replaced by disdain. He thought to himself, "You think driving a Mercedes makes you a boss?"
"Stop looking at him. Your classmate is just a driver. He doesn't look like someone who can afford a Mercedes." Zhao Zihao tried his best to belittle Liu Xiaoyuan.
Li Chunxiao said, "Zihao, don't say that. Maybe my classmate really has made it big. This car is how he bought it."
Zhao Zihao snorted and said, "Do you know how much this car costs? It would cost over two million to buy it. Unless he robs a bank, how could a country boy come up with two million?"
After Zhao Zihao said that, Li Chunxiao thought it made sense. Two million was no small sum. So, Li Chunxiao also began to think that Liu Xiaoyuan was just a driver!
Liu Xiaoyuan thought Li Chunxiao was a decent classmate, at least she wasn't as condescending as Zhao Zihao, so he got off the bus and walked over.
"Chunxiao, you're here to see Chairman Lin too?" Liu Xiaoyuan greeted him with a smile, completely ignoring Zhao Zihao.
Zhao Zihao interjected at this moment, looking at Liu Xiaoyuan and asking, "Are you Chairman Lin's driver?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "Chairman Lin's driver is someone else, not me. My driving skills haven't reached that level yet."
Zhao Zihao continued, "So, which boss do you drive for? Maybe I know your boss."
Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at Zhao Zihao. This guy really has a bad eye for people. Why does he think I, Liu Xiaoyuan, am cut out to be a driver?
“You naturally know my boss too,” Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
Since Li Chunxiao had said all that to Liu Xiaoyuan, she knew he really was a driver. Actually, Li Chunxiao hoped the Mercedes-Benz belonged to Liu Xiaoyuan; that way, her boyfriend Zhao Zihao wouldn't have anything to say and wouldn't have to keep calling him a penniless guy.
“Oh, so what’s your boss’s name? Maybe I have business dealings with your boss,” Zhao Zihao said. “If I’m familiar with your boss, I can put in a good word for you and get him to give you a raise of three or five hundred yuan a month.”
Seeing Zhao Zihao showing off his superiority in front of him, Liu Xiaoyuan found it amusing. This guy was really stupid. Why are there so many self-righteous people in the world?
"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Zihao asked when Liu Xiaoyuan didn't speak.
Liu Xiaoyuan shook his head and said, "I wasn't laughing at anything. By the way, our boss definitely doesn't have any business dealings with you, so you don't need to worry about my raise."
"Hey! How do you, a driver, know if your boss has any business dealings with my company?" Zhao Zihao glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain.
Liu Xiaoyuan ignored him and said, "How I know is none of your concern."
When Zhao Zihao saw that Liu Xiaoyuan, a mere driver, dared to be so arrogant, he immediately wanted to teach Liu Xiaoyuan a lesson. However, considering that this was in front of Lin Xin's villa, he decided it was best to hold back for now, since he was here tonight to discuss matters related to voice with Lin Xin.
"Hmph, if this weren't the entrance to Chairman Lin's villa, I would have taught you a lesson and shown you how to be a proper driver!" Zhao Zihao said, pointing at Liu Xiaoyuan with an extremely arrogant tone.
