Chapter 021 Chapter 21

Ah Yan never thought the situation would be so embarrassing.

Time goes back to an hour ago. After she and Zhu Jue arrived at the auto show, they were picked up by the Bincheng general manager of Jidao Brand because they used the contact information given by Tan Dabao.

The other party kept calling him "Mr. Yan, Mr. Zhu". Ah Yan held Jue Jue's hand and pinched it, leaving several red marks.

This title is really too shameful!

Ah Yan said to Mr. Li: "You can just call us Xiao Yan or Xiao Zhu."

But this Mr. Li was very old-fashioned and said in a serious tone, "The two directors Tan have already explained that you two are the founders and designers of Jidao. Although I am older than you two, this is a workplace, so we have to follow the company rules."

"I've heard that Director Yan and Director Zhu are both very handsome, very low-key, and not at all arrogant. Today I see that they are indeed worthy of their reputation!"

"I used to be in the R&D center in Ningcheng, but unfortunately I never had the chance to meet you two. This time I finally met the other two founders of our Jidao. It was so exciting!"

Mr. Li’s flattery made Ah Yan’s face put on a stiff but perfect smile.

Damn, in fact, she had never been to the Jidao R&D Center in Ningcheng. This was her first time to visit this Jidao brand.

When did she and Jue Jue become the founders of the company? What did those damned Tan Dabao and Tan Xiaobao do behind her back?

Ah Yan's heart broke as he listened to Mr. Li's excessive flattery.

After much difficulty in diverting Mr. Li's attention from them to the test drive of the new car, A Yan and Zhu Jue saw the location, route, and various arrangements that Jidao brand was preparing for the test drive.

While Mr. Li was taking a short break to drink water during his presentation, Ah Yan sent messages to Tan Dabao at lightning speed.

[Ah Yan]: Dabao, come out here. Explain clearly, how come I didn’t know that your brother and I became company directors? ? ? Founders? Designers?

[Tan Dabao]: Sister, although you and my brother haven't come in these years, you won't forget that the four of us studied Jidao together, right? Xiaobao and I took half, and you and my brother took half.

【Ayan】：?

[Ayan]: I haven’t forgotten, but that was when we were playing games in junior high school. Games are games. It doesn’t mean you have to give half of the company to us, right?

[Tan Dabao]: The concepts and initial design drawings that have been passed down since the founding of Jidao were all developed together when we were making the game six years ago. It's just that the fantasy has become reality. The current several different models of Jidao have not deviated from the core design you have made. You are the founders and chief designers. Is there any problem?

[Ayan]: The design you are talking about is not the simple car I drew at the beginning, and added a few wheels and wings? It seems that the car I drew is a car with fins.

[Tan Dabao]: Yes, simple sketches are not important. A true designer is one who can express the core concept with just a few strokes. Your simple sketch design is full of the essence.

[Tan Dabao]: Moreover, when I first said I wanted to build a car myself, you and my brother jointly contributed half of the money when we were raising funds.

[Ayan]: But if I remember correctly, Juejue and I each paid a hundred yuan to help you buy a toy car and disassemble it, right?

[Tan Dabao]: Yes, I raised a total of 400 yuan and bought a lot of toy parts to assemble and disassemble, and then I had the first model car of Jidao. This is all thanks to you.

Looking at these words, Ah Yan's hands trembled as he remembered something.

She remembered that when she first played the game of building a dream house, in order to make it realistic, she referenced reality in every aspect and even prepared some kind of agreement. After she and Zhu Jue each funded Tan Dabao with 100 yuan, it seemed that half a year had passed before Dabao seriously asked them to sign some kind of supplementary agreement. Because it was just a game of playing house, several parents took turns to sign.

At that time, Ayan and Zhu Jue didn't take it seriously, and after so many years, they had long forgotten about it.

[Ayan]: So the company was already established? The shares of Jidao were divided among my mother, Aunt Zhu, and Aunt Tan?

【Tan Dabao】：Yes, sister.

Ah Yan painfully recalled that after the college entrance examination, she and Jue Jue were surrounded by the two families and had to sign a bunch of documents, including real estate donations. The day before, the two were dragged out by Xu Jiaojiao and others, and a series of dramas took place. When they got home, they were exhausted both physically and mentally, and they just thought it was a coming-of-age gift from their family. They signed the documents furiously and fell asleep.

Now think about it, it is very likely that the equity donation agreement may be in there!

[Tan Dabao]: Sister, so there is absolutely no problem if half of the company has you guys.

┓( ` )┏

Ah Yan's face was dull and he felt bewildered.

Just these two words, ridiculous!

She was absolutely unable to argue with this genius, so Ah Yan chose to keep silent. She then went to Tan Xiaobao to give him another round of criticism, but was told the same thing in return.

Ah Yan was stunned for a moment, and thought, forget it, let him be President Yan. Anyway, the Jidao brand should be in a state of heavy investment in research and development. As far as she knew, Tan Dabao had always used other industries to support the car company, and it had been upgrading and iterating all the time. Its production capacity was limited, and its popularity was not as good as those foreign luxury cars. It could be said that it was very niche, and such a loss-making company would not distribute dividends.

In short, whenever she makes money, she will try to pay it back, and if she loses money, she doesn't care.

If the two of them hadn't suddenly remembered it today, it would have taken who knows how long it would have taken to discover this matter.

After chatting with Mr. Li for a long time in the VIP room, Ah Yan and Zhu Jue saw Mr. Li suddenly touch his earphone, as if something big had happened.

"Today is such a good day." Mr. Li smiled.

"Not only the two of them came, but also the owners who paid in full for the Extreme Overlord at this auto show have arrived at the exhibition hall."

Upon hearing this, A Yan and Zhu Jue immediately stood up. If they didn't leave now, when would they leave?

They thanked Mr. Li politely and told him to go and receive the car owner without worry. Mr. Li exchanged a few more pleasantries, gave the two of them the information, and accompanied them out of the VIP room.

Therefore, the timeline returns to the present.

Chu Bingbing greeted with a look of surprise: "Ayan, you are here too."

Mr. Li was extremely surprised. "Is this the lady who owns the Extreme Overlord? Are you and our CEO old acquaintances?"

Ah Yan closed his eyes, feeling hopeless.

In this world, is Bincheng such a small circle? Kill her!

This B must be installed now.

She took a deep breath and nodded calmly: "You come to pick up the car, Mr. Li, you come to receive us, we won't disturb you."

But Chu Bingbing was obviously very interested: "Are you going back to school? Or are you going out? I'm going to drive away directly. If you're not in a hurry, you can go together and go to get a room with me."

A Yan wanted to refuse, but...she thought that if she refused, she might accidentally walk into the scene of other roommates.

After all, today is Sunday, and several others have also come out of school.

In this comparison, she felt at least a little safer with Chu Bingbing.

She thought for a few seconds and said, "That's fine."

"Then we'll wait for you outside to get some fresh air."

Ah Yan was a little afraid that Mr. Li would start to flatter Chu Bingbing in front of her. She didn’t know whether Chu Bingbing would be embarrassed or not, but she would definitely be embarrassed to death.

The ultimate brand super VIP room.

After consulting Chu Bingbing, only the top person in charge, Mr. Li, was left to serve her.

She took out the relevant documents from her bag and waited for Mr. Li to review them one by one.

Bottled Tianquan mineral water and freshly cut fruit are placed on the table.

There was also an internal brochure of the Jidao brand on the table. Chu Bingbing picked it up and flipped through it.

Brand introduction, concept car models, corporate culture... She flipped through the introductions to different models of the Jidao brand, which are divided into three series: T, Y, and Z.

"The Y series is a car that is the king of the sky, inspired by the founder Y..."

"The Z series is a land-and-sea amphibious vehicle, inspired by the founder Z......."

Chu Bingbing's eyelids twitched. She had checked the information of the Jidao brand yesterday. The founder's public information showed that his surname was Tan and they were a brother and sister, that is, T.

She couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Li, are the founders Y and Z your Directors Yan and Zhu?"

Mr. Li raised his head and smiled: "That's right. Normally, information about the two of you needs to be kept confidential, but Miss Chu, you are Mr. Yan's friend, so it's okay for you to know."

"Come to think of it, I've been working at JiDao for five years, and this is the first time I've met two directors."

Director! Chu Bingbing was prepared, but still surprised.

"Oh? You weren't in Bincheng before?" she asked.

Mr. Li is very patient when dealing with big clients, and there is no need to hide his resume information. On the contrary, the more honest he is, the easier it is for him to gain the trust of his clients.

"Ms. Chu, before being transferred to Bincheng, I mainly worked in the R&D center in Ningcheng." Mr. Li had a look of humility and pride from the bottom of his heart.

"Regarding everything about the Extreme Overlord car, I dare not say that it is the best, but there are not many people in the company who dare to say that it is second." President Li smiled.

"So you used to be a technician." Chu Bingbing said.

When talking about this, Mr. Li showed some pride in the brand: "In our company, those who can become management must have experience in the field. It is not enough to be technically savvy. This is the rule set by the board of directors."

While I was talking to Mr. Li, the procedures were completed in a short while.

Chu Bingbing did not get the car key in her hand, because there was no car key for this model of car.

"The Extreme Overlord uses the latest developed holographic owner scanning system, which automatically verifies your fingerprints, iris, bone structure and vital signs and automatically sends out alarms." Mr. Li said.

Chu Bingbing translated it in her mind. This meant that if the owner of the car was dead, no one could intentionally occupy the car, and the fingerprint iris life anomaly could not be activated.

This was the first time she had heard of this technology, but Chu Bingbing had seen similar news on the Internet before about a girlfriend who was murdered and the murderer's boyfriend used the deceased's fingerprint to unlock the phone and took photos with facial recognition, and then the backstage monitoring staff discovered the abnormality and called the police.

Chu Bingbing entered the complete set of car owner information and familiarized herself with the various basic functions in the car before coming to pick up the car.

The Extreme Overlord is a luxurious five-seater sofa chair, and the doors on the same side can be opened wide in the reverse direction, making it very convenient to get off the car.

With its wide body and wild appearance, it will definitely be the coolest guy on the road when driving out.

Mr. Li personally put on white gloves to put on the license plate that Chu Bingbing brought. It was "BinBB8888", a local license plate of Bincheng. One can tell at a glance that it means "Bingbing Fafafafa". Chu Bingbing was very satisfied with it.

The interior of the car has an ultimate starry sky ceiling that is dazzling. When sitting in the owner's seat, the car seat will automatically adjust to the situation without you having to move your hands. Other controls can be fully automatic by voice, and the automatic driving is fully assisted. Even people who can't drive can become a perfect car owner and get on the road.

A Yan and Zhu Jue were sitting cautiously in the back seat at this time. She looked at Chu Bingbing's face fascinated by the new car and quietly felt relieved.

Very good, Chu Bingbing’s mind is not paying attention to her at all, that’s really great!

The Extreme Overlord drove out of the Bincheng Convention and Exhibition Center through a special passage, and its extremely unique shape instantly attracted countless people's attention.

The carbon gray color gives the car body a mysterious afterglow under the sunlight.

"What the hell is that? The Fortress of Doom?"

"A space tank? Is this legal? Or did you modify it yourself?"

"Shouldn't this be a concept car at the auto show? Can it still be on the road? Won't the traffic police fine it?"

"Oh my god, I checked it out. This is the king of cars at the auto show, a 19 million branded Extreme Overlord. This car is more expensive than my house. What kind of rich man is this!"

When the Overlord drove onto the road, Ah Yan and Zhu Jue sitting in the car could clearly feel the vantage point of "overlooking all the small mountains".

"Wow." Chu Bingbing whistled. It felt so good to drive a big car.

The special configuration of top-of-the-line luxury cars is bulletproof and sun-proof glass, so no matter how you take pictures, you cannot see anything inside from the outside.

But Chu Bingbing didn't mind. In order to avoid being boasted about by some people after being secretly photographed, she opened the window of the main driver's seat.

For a moment, people who were watching from a distance in front and behind could see that the person driving the car was a long-haired beauty with a superior and delicate profile.

"It's a rich woman! Whose daughter is this who is showing off on the street?"

"Some people are born at the top of the pyramid. This car, this license plate 8888, must belong to some wealthy family..."

The automatic driving of the Extreme Overlord car is extremely sensitive. Chu Bingbing feels like she is holding the steering wheel as a decoration, and the car automatically navigates to the destination following the speed limit and traffic lights.

The Lakeside Paradise where she was going to collect the house happened to be in the same area as the Convention and Exhibition Center. As they were driving on the road, there were even cars behind them taking pictures.

Chu Bingbing captured countless shots during the half-hour she drove.

As the car drove into the lakeside, some curious people who followed along took photos.

Both doors opened at the same time. Ah Yan watched Chu Bingbing get out of the car with her bag, as if her whole body was emitting a strong aura.

It's like there's a narrator saying -

"The rich lady is here, all unrelated people, get out of the way!"

She and Zhu Jue got off the car silently, one carrying a small bag and the other carrying a backpack, looking like a young lady's little followers.

Because Chu Bingbing had contacted the community manager in advance, the license plate information of the Overlord was directly entered into the garage, and he drove straight into the underground exclusive garage.

After the three people got off the car, the management staff of Lakeside World, dressed in black suits and white gloves, were already waiting respectfully. They could not hide their respect and amazement in their eyes when they looked at them getting off the car.

Although there are tens of millions of billionaires per capita in the community, the billionaire woman in front of us who spent two hundred million to buy a house is really shockingly young.

Coupled with this extremely luxurious car that is far superior to that of ordinary wealthy people, it has silently explained the character of this rich woman.

"Ms. Chu, we have prepared a special ceremony for you to take over the house. Please."

Chu Bingbing raised her eyebrows. Wow, this is a good sense of ceremony.

The real estate certificate and other documents have all been transferred. Chu Bingbing checked the information on her mobile phone. This Lakeside Paradise community is a core luxury residential area in the core of the city. Her large flat is a building with a front-row view of the lake without any obstruction.

However, a large number of owners had already held a house-taking ceremony last year, and her place had already been renovated by the previous owner.

Because it was a system reward, she had no idea how the previous owner sold it. Perhaps the system paid a lot of money to buy it.

As she walked step by step, Chu Bingbing's expression remained unchanged, but she admired in her heart that this place was worthy of being a coastal city. The mansions in her hometown Pingcheng were still a little inferior to the low-key luxury here.

There is one household per floor and no worries about neighbors.

On the front door of the house was a sign with black letters on a red background saying "Joy of Moving". The housekeeper wearing white gloves opened the door, and Chu Bingbing was the first to step in, followed by A Yan and Zhu Jue.

"The decoration is nice." Chu Bingbing liked it as soon as she entered.

She was a little worried at first whether the decoration would be done on top of the original fine decoration. She really didn't like the currently popular minimalist marble style.

As a result, the decoration in front of her was completely different from what she had imagined. It was obvious that the previous owner had put a lot of thought into it.

This is a typical century-old retro style, combining the coastal city and Southeast Asian temperament of a hundred years ago, and is reflected by the vintage furniture and stacked dark floors that have been sedimented by the years.

The crisscrossing tropical plants seem to take people back to an era.

The 570-square-meter super-large flat has an unobstructed large terrace. The weather is very good today, and under the blue sky and white clouds, the terrace has an ultimate lake view.

This is exactly the “other people’s house” she would see on social media!

The more Chu Bingbing looked, the more she found that there were details everywhere and the craftsmanship was amazing. At this time, the property manager brought a gift for taking over the house, a set of aromatherapy appliances from the H family, which obviously fits the daily positioning of the owners in this community.

"Ayan, what do you think?" Chu Bingbing greeted excitedly. She saw Ayan was talking to the property manager.

"It's very good." said A Yan.

Chu Bingbing saw her pointing at a few different pieces of furniture. "The previous owner seemed like a nice person. This phonograph, this piano table, this... they are all almost a hundred years old. Many of the vinyl records left behind are out of print."

In the dressing room, there is even a cabinet filled with different types of second-hand perfume bottles and different Eastern and Western powder boxes.

It was obvious that these valuable collections were not taken away. Ah Yan was already wondering if something bad had happened to the previous owner and he sold the house and ran away.

She and Zhu Jue each pointed out some furniture items that they were familiar with and whose value they could roughly estimate.

"I remember the brand of this silverware is from a century-old workshop in Gaul that does pure handmade work. It takes five years to make."

"This painting seems to be from a painter who passed away a hundred years ago. It has become a hot topic in the past two years and is hard to come by. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that it is a result of speculation by collectors."

"This is probably the work of an artist from the Pizza Country."

Because of her experience attending a private high school, as well as her classmates' frequent banquets and parties, and the art study tours organized by the school, Yan is quite knowledgeable in identifying top brands and expensive furniture.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.

Chu Bingbing looked at A Yan and his boyfriend standing in the huge house. They could tell the origins of the furniture and estimate their market value just by pointing at something. The tone of their voice was not that of showing off their own knowledge, but just saying, "I know, I just said it."

Ah Yan's tone was light and relaxed, as if he didn't care about these things at all, but he knew them very well.

This is not the result of professional intensive study, like memorizing materials, it is like, it is like it is innate, the calmness and ordinariness that comes from the influence of freedom.

After hearing Ah Yan introduce which furniture had a century-old history and which was expensive, Chu Bingbing's subconscious reaction was to step away and be careful not to damage it accidentally.

But Ayan is different.

Chu Bingbing looked at them. Compared to herself, the two of them strolling leisurely here seemed to be the owners of this house.

No matter how much added value these things have, how expensive they are, or how much history they have, in her eyes they are just furniture.

They remained calm and composed in front of the car and the mansion that seemed unimaginable to ordinary people.

This is because she has seen too much.

Or maybe, Ayan must have grown up in such an environment.

The "Dr. Yan" here does not refer to President Yan, but the director, the founder of Jidao Company.

Chu Bingbing secretly checked the information and combined it with the information she got from Mr. Li. Jidao Company was established six years ago, and the changes in equity only occurred this year.

She had seen a topic online before, where someone was curious about what the life of a truly wealthy person was like.

Some people say that their classmates are second-generation rich people who own villas and luxury cars, spend a lot of money on luxury goods, and are super VIPs at all the luxury hotels.

This is already the public’s idea of ​​what a wealthy person is.

But Chu Bingbing knows that these people are more likely to be "nouveau riche", just like herself, who suddenly became rich and constantly bless themselves with external brands, piling up buffs on their bodies to show off their wealth and gain a sense of security.

But the truly wealthy families who have been living in a low-key manner for generations will not even appear on the rankings. They live in ancestral houses, and even have no logos on their clothes and bags. Ordinary people may think they are just ordinary clothes, but only insiders can see the special stitching and tailoring of the fabrics. They are exclusive private bespoke products, tailor-made to the body.

Children raised in such families will not study computer finance, which is considered popular and easy to earn money in the eyes of the public. Instead, they will choose their own hobbies and grow up in a variety of resources that ordinary people can't imagine. They will also have countless trial and error costs and support.

Their personalities are neither too sharp nor too cowardly, because a good family education has endowed them with inner richness.

While their peers were still playing in the mud and engaging in teenage rebellion, they had already made a step further in their lives.

Just like A Yan and his friends, six years ago, when Chu Bingbing was still a junior high school student pretending to be an adult, A Yan and her boyfriend had already founded Jidao Company and dared to design cars. Six years later, this brand has developed into a top luxury car!

What kind of family can afford the resource consumption in between?

It is said that the best way for the second generation of rich people to go bankrupt is to start a business. According to Chu Bingbing's investigation, the investment of Jidao Company in the past six years is several nine-digit figures. What kind of family can allow a junior high school student to make such an investment? How much confidence does it take?

A doomsday tank that sounds like a far-fetched dream can be supported like this, the value of Ayan's family...

Is he a billionaire? No, Chu Bingbing thought she was underestimating it.

Chu Bingbing remembered that in the introduction of the Jidao brand, it said that the original idea was to create a doomsday tank. Doomsday tank, I'm afraid ordinary parents would say something outrageous when they heard it, what are you thinking about instead of studying hard all day long.

Six years ago, Ayan and his friends wanted to make a doomsday tank, so they drew the blueprints and started a company. Their parents supported the investment, and the brand grew. After they became adults, the shares were naturally transferred to the real owners.

With the professionalism and unique R&D team demonstrated by the Jidao brand cars, she also saw many national science academies, electronic intelligence research institutes, etc. as partners in the brochure.

Such resources, such energy, and such connections cannot be accumulated through the efforts of just one generation.

A wealthy family with at least five generations and hundreds of years of accumulation!

Children from such families are extremely strict in choosing their partners or spouses. If they are not from the same circle, they will not be accepted at all. They will make marriage contracts very early and keep the matter to themselves.

Ah Yan and her boyfriend, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, grew up together as childhood sweethearts, are both talented, and are both directors of a company. They are a perfect example of a family marriage!

Chu Bingbing was thinking about yesterday's auction. She couldn't find the Furongju Ancient Collection at all, but Ah Yan easily found someone to ask and solved the problem.

The billionaire's secret auction, is this something an ordinary person can ask?

The fact that Yan was able to obtain this secret information shows that she herself is a member of this circle.

Thinking of this, Chu Bingbing's eyes sparkled. At yesterday's auction,

Chu Bingbing's heart was moved by every item she saw.

But Ayan and her boyfriend remained calm from beginning to end, even when she announced the donation of the 360 ​​million scrolls.

When they look at these things, their eyes are filled with appreciation and praise from the bottom of their hearts. They have the look of appreciating beautiful things, but without the slightest desire for possession.

Ayan is calm and steady. He treats people with a smile, takes everything in stride, and treats every roommate just right.

Chu Bingbing thought of another thing. Gu Jiasui suddenly gave gifts to the whole dormitory that day. She was a little surprised at the time, but guessed that it was to thank Ayan. After that, she never saw Ayan wearing the bracelet, and later Ayan returned the bracelet.

She didn’t know much about jadeite before, but she got to know a little more about it after seeing the imperial green jadeite at an auction last time.

The gift that Gu Jiasui gave to Ah Yan was an icy jadeite with a market value of one million.

Ah Yan saw the value of it immediately and returned it.

Chu Bingbing was looking at the skirt Ayan was wearing at this moment. The style of the skirt Ayan was wearing today was very different. It was made of cheap material without any pleats or drape. The light mauve color should have looked a bit old-fashioned on young people, but when worn on Ayan, it fit her body very well without overly highlighting her curves. It was elegant and graceful, further highlighting Ayan's temperament.

Generous, free, low-key, and relaxed.

"Ayan, your skirt is so beautiful. Where did you buy it?" she asked.

Ah Yan looked down and said, "I didn't buy it. My neighbor's grandmother made it for me." After her college entrance examination results came out this year, her first-floor neighbor, Grandma Huang, made a set of clothes for her and Juejue to wear at the graduation banquet.

Chu Bingbing:!

Ah Yan didn’t know what Chu Bingbing was thinking. It was normal for girls to ask about links.

"Oh, so you can't accept custom orders?" Chu Bingbing asked.

Ah Yan thought for a moment, "Grandma is old and only cooks for the family, but her daughter, Auntie Huang, should be the one who takes orders. You can search for the name Huang Lihua."

Although Aunt Huang's design fee was very expensive, Chu Bingbing could definitely afford it, and Ah Yan didn't take it seriously.

As soon as Chu Bingbing searched for the name "Huang Lihua", she found it immediately in the browser.

Huang Lihua, female, is currently a professor at Ningcheng Fashion University. Her mother is Ms. Huang Wanrong, the world-famous fashion master of Xiaguo, and the chief guest lady of the State Council for Chinese style fashion designer......

Her eyes widened. Xia Country’s world-class fashion master!

Is this the neighbor grandma that Ah Yan mentioned? The world-famous designer who designed for the chief lady made clothes for Ah Yan! So what is Ah Yan's identity?

Chu Bingbing:!!!

She was a little dazed. If she hadn't accidentally met Mr. Li from Jidao Company today, she didn't know how long Ah Yan would continue to keep the secret in her heart!

What level of existence is Ayan's family?
