Modern Extra 1: The Detestable Rich

Modern Extra 1: The Detestable Rich

Noon sunlight fell through the gaps in the sycamore leaves, shattering into millions of starlight fragments on the bright orange car paint.

“This car is too flashy; it’s not your style,” Lin Yan said, his fingertip tracing the warm edge of the hood, drawing a circle on the car logo.

Ignored, White meowed and suddenly leaped onto the hood. The tip of his tail brushed Lin Yan’s hand, and his hind paws landed precisely in the groove of the spoiler, as if this seven-million-dollar mechanical beast were nothing more than a sun-warmed, crooked-necked tree.

A collective gasp arose from the onlookers, and phone cameras began to zoom frantically.

Becoming the center of attention, Yun Qi felt all sorts of uncomfortable. He roughly picked up White and casually tossed him into the car.

The gasps grew even more exaggerated, forming a sonata.

Yun Qi was about to dig out a three-bedroom apartment out of sheer embarrassment. He cautiously glanced at Lin Yan, and seeing Lin Yan still excitedly studying the scissor-door hinges, he breathed a small sigh of relief.

“I was in a hurry to find Big Brother, so I had the steward arrange a car at random. I didn’t expect…”

Deliberate showing off is dazzling, but unintentional showing off is even more deadly.

The sonata reached its climax, and another circle of onlookers gathered.

The spotlight was too bright; even Lin Yan couldn’t handle it. He gave Yun Qi a look, successfully matching signals.

This was no place to linger, time to make a run for it!!!

The car door opened at just the right moment.

Lin Yan stuffed Yun Qi inside, belatedly realizing something.

Yun Qi wasn’t even skilled at using a cellphone; this car… The driver in the driver’s seat nodded to Lin Yan and turned away.

Expressionless, eyes fixed forward, like an NPC.

Lin Yan felt for the first time that luxury cars also had their downsides.

There were only two seats, one for the driver, one for the little dog, and he was stuck holding White. He wanted to go to the roof, he wanted to go under the car…

Oh, he couldn’t go under the car.

The Lamborghini’s chassis was low, and he was already slender; he couldn’t squeeze in, let alone a certain big cat whose length, width, and height were basically the same—a ball from a distance, a ball up close.

That only left the roof… Or maybe he should just take the bus.

Yun Qi saw Lin Yan’s predicament and extended an invitation: “Big Brother, want to take this car for a spin?”

Driving a luxury car, driving a luxury car…

But what about the driver?

Forget it, he could give him a red envelope and let him take a taxi back.

Lin Yan, who had a driver’s license but had only driven a tractor, was eager to try.

Yun Qi, whose proposal was accepted and the problem perfectly resolved, was elated.

The driver, whose job had been snatched away and was completely out of the loop: ???

Dude, you…

I thought you were going to follow the “seduce the master” route to advancement, but you came up and kicked my rice bowl first?

What’s going on, what’s going on, what’s going on???

Even the most professional NPC couldn’t hold back at this moment.

The driver’s hand tightened involuntarily on the steering wheel. He wanted to say a few words to argue, but when he turned his head, he saw Yun Qi and Lin Yan all lovey-dovey.

…

He should just report it directly.

The driver made a phone call to the steward, about to complain tearfully, when the steward dropped a bomb.

He heard that this was his young master’s wife, that the two were very much in love, that the family approved, and that they had already made their relationship public.

All he had to do now was drop off the car, transfer the money to the young mistress, and then… his job wasn’t lost, his bonus doubled, and he had a day off today. Hooray!

The driver got out of the car very consciously, helping Lin Yan into the car with a flattering expression, muttering, “Be careful, be careful.”

The speed of the driver’s attitude change was two beats faster than Lin Yan’s reaction speed.

Lin Yan only came back to his senses after sitting in the driver’s seat. He looked at the balance in his bank card, then at the driver’s fawning smile, and made a very difficult decision.

“Master, can I add you on green bubble? I’ll reimburse you for the fare back.”

The driver fearfully scanned the QR code that Lin Yan held out, added him as a friend, sent a greeting, and initiated a transfer.

One, two… five zeros??? And starting with a five?

Lin Yan glanced guiltily at the 200-yuan red envelope he hadn’t sent, feeling very embarrassed to offer it now.

“Young Master and young mistress, have fun. I’ll go back first.”

The driver bowed slightly, and the car door closed slowly.

…

In Lin Yan’s opinion, the control panel of a luxury car was about the same as that of an aircraft carrier. He turned on the wipers, the headlights, the stereo… and only managed to open the window after a long time.

“Master, this money…”

“The young master lost his phone; please take care of him,” the driver said, still standing there, the formulaic smile no different from before. “The Yun family’s shopping malls are on your tab; this money is for you two to buy snacks.”

By the time the car window closed again, Lin Yan hadn’t recovered from the shock.

Fifty thousand to buy snacks? Wouldn’t they turn into elephants?

Detestable rich people.

Lin Yan threw the phone aside, laboriously turned off the headlights and wipers, and casually tossed out a question to Yun Qi that he was too embarrassed to ask the driver: “The Yun family… what industries does your family have?”

Yun Qi had just transmigrated; how would he know these things?

When in doubt, ask Baidu.

Yun Qi gave Lin Yan an inquiring look, and after receiving permission, he picked up Lin Yan’s phone and typed in the question with flying fingers.

Baidu’s entry was very comprehensive.

Yun Qi handed the phone over: “Here, it should be these few, right?”

Lin Yan glanced at it and started sweating again.

Great, these were all shopping malls he usually didn’t dare to even look at; now he could directly put things on the tab.

Rich people were indeed detestable!!!

Lin Yan drove the Lamborghini around the campus at a snail’s pace for three laps.

It wasn’t really to show off the sports car; it was just…unfamiliar.

Lin Yan had fantasized about driving a Lamborghini… a Lamborghini tractor one day, but a sports car was something he hadn’t even dreamed of. Fortunately, he adapted quickly, and there were no technical difficulties after getting on the road.

If he drove a normal Xiaomi SU7, maybe someone would want to get closer and take a look, but a Lamborghini… best not to provoke it, goodbye!

The cars on the road stayed eight hundred meters away from Lin Yan.

If there was a scratch or a bump, even if the car owner was rich and generous and didn’t want you to pay, the insurance company wouldn’t agree. Wouldn’t next year’s insurance premium go through the roof?

Lin Yan gradually got the hang of it, cruising at lightning speed. By the time he stopped in the parking lot, he could get out of the car and lock the door very smoothly, without looking back.

Just an ordinary, unremarkable, broken-down car; no need to pay attention to it.

Lin Yan put his arm around Yun Qi, habitually ruffled his hair, and suddenly felt a little regretful.

“Our body and hair are received from our parents, so we dare not damage them.”

Such thinking sounded a bit ridiculous now, but that was indeed the way things were in the Great Zhou. Yun Qi’s hair had been growing for a long time, truly waist-length hair, and to just cut it off like that…

“Big Brother, which of these hairstyles do you think suits me?”

Yun Qi flipped out a saved image, excitedly holding it up to Lin Yan’s eyes, his invisible tail turning into a propeller.

Lin Yan lowered his head to look at the phone. The pity he had felt earlier gradually dissipated, even becoming a little funny.

Yun Qi had followed him to this era; what was cutting his hair?

“This one looks good…” Lin Yan gestured around Yun Qi’s face, then zoomed in on the picture to examine it closely. “Highlights and a perm; it’ll probably take a long time.”

A long time meant trouble, trouble meant impatience, impatience meant Big Brother wouldn’t want to…

The speed of the little dog’s tail, which had been turning into a propeller, slowed down, drooping in disappointment.

“A buzz cut would be fine…”

“Let’s go buy a phone first!”

The two spoke at the same time.

Yun Qi was stunned for a moment, then instantly revived, even more energetic than before.

Big Brother was so good, Big Brother thought so thoroughly, Big Brother cared about him!!!
