"The price isn't cheap, but the place is so small. Are we being scammed? Is this really the highest standard?" Bai Yujing turned around. He had seen the prices downstairs, which converted to nearly ten thousand yuan per night. However, the total area was just over a hundred square meters. The space was designed very well, creating an illusion of spaciousness despite the small area. Besides two bedrooms, there was a long corridor and a decent living room where one could see the entire city from the sofa.
This place was on the top floor of the hotel, offering a wide view of the surrounding office buildings. Tsuchikuni Daisuke brought them here and helped carry their luggage upstairs before leaving with Li Hao after giving him some instructions.
Li Hao lay on the sofa and explained, "This is our family's hotel. In Tokyo, the population is too dense, and land prices are so high they could scare your heart out. The land utilization rate is extremely high; it's like this everywhere!"
Li Hao pulled down his tie and sprawled on the bed, falling into a deep sleep without any regard for his image. Bai Yujing took a shower and checked the liquor cabinet. He finally took out a bottle of Hennessy Richard. Ever since he discovered he could drink endlessly without getting drunk, Bai Yujing's fondness for strong liquor had grown even stronger, allowing him to savor it slowly.
Lying on the sofa, with a view of the entire city, the blue carpet on the floor and the overall white style created a relaxing atmosphere. After drinking two small glasses, Bai Yujing fell asleep on the sofa.
When Bai Yujing woke up, Li Hao nudged him awake. Sitting up, he realized it was already close to dusk outside; the sun had turned somewhat dim. They had both slept straight through to late evening.
A female server was pushing a food cart in the restaurant, quietly setting up lunch before bowing and slowly retreating.
Li Hao sat down and said, "Come on, after we eat, let's go out for a stroll!"
Bai Yujing looked at the table and noticed that the food seemed quite appealing; just its appearance made his mouth water. After sleeping until afternoon, he felt empty inside. The red fish sashimi paired with fresh garnishes was arranged in a circle around rice balls, accompanied by specially seasoned smoked fish and shrimp paste on either side of each bowl of rice.
Bai Yujing placed his opened bottle of Hennessy Richard on the table. Li Hao immediately remarked, "You know you shouldn't leave it open; it'll lose its flavor!"
Bai Yujing replied, "If that's true, then your family must be selling fake liquor!"
Bai Yujing picked up two glasses and filled them both. Li Hao noticed Bai Yujing's silver watch and grabbed it to take a look. "Patek Philippe 5180? Tsk, no taste!"
Bai Yujing withdrew his hand and said, "What's wrong? I think it's pretty good! The metal bracelet and overall design are nice, especially the exposed skeleton movement; it has a certain mechanical beauty!"
"A man's romance should be in tourbillons—precision! That kind of flawless precision is art!" Bai Yujing glanced at Li Hao's wrist and noticed that his previous Langue had been replaced with a Breguet. No, this wasn't called art; this was called vulgarity.
Bai Yujing sat down angrily. "I won't compare myself to you second-generation types; I'm first generation—do you understand?"
Li Hao beamed with pride. "Someone's just showing typical sour grapes because they can't have what they want. Being born into wealth is an art in itself; someone like me must have accumulated blessings in my past life to enjoy this life! Someone like you must have done nothing good in your last life!"
"......" Bai Yujing thought that being able to say such shameless things without turning red or out of breath was also a skill.
Following Li Hao out of the elevator, they immediately saw Tsuchikuni Daisuke waiting downstairs, accompanied by a few others. Aside from Tsuchikuni Daisuke, the other two were likely hotel staff. A few people quickly jogged over and said, "Director Li, the car you requested is ready!"
"Take me to see it!" Li Hao's eyes lit up as he walked towards the door, where he immediately spotted a series of sleek white sports cars parked outside. It was a Ferrari, which Bai Yujing recognized, although he wasn't sure of the specific model.
Tsuchikuni Daisuke led Li Hao to the car and introduced it, saying, "What do you think? Are you satisfied, Director Li?"
"Not bad; you put in some effort!" Li Hao placed his hands on the hood of the car, visibly excited as he nodded.
Seeing that Li Hao genuinely liked it, Tsuchikuni Daisuke felt relieved. This was the heir from the headquarters, and he had specifically fought to handle this reception. There was fierce competition within the company for this opportunity; if he could win Li Hao's favor, his position would surely rise. "Hi, these two are the hotel’s General Manager Yamada and Deputy General Manager. If you or Bai Sang have any needs, just let them know."
Li Hao waved his hand dismissively. "Alright, I don't need you to follow me; you can go do your own things."
Once the group left, Bai Yujing began inspecting the car. It looked like a race car with an extremely low chassis. He wondered if it would be okay on the road but noticed that Li Hao seemed to love it, circling around it as if he were admiring his wife.
"This is a Ferrari Enzo! It's what I've always wanted but couldn't buy domestically!" Li Hao excitedly told Bai Yujing.
Bai Yujing asked, "Is it very expensive?"
"The key isn't just the price; this car has been discontinued and is limited to four hundred units worldwide. Due to wear and tear, that number is constantly decreasing. Plus, owning a Ferrari Enzo isn't just about having money; you must own at least two Ferraris, one of which must be over ten years old—those are strict conditions."
"Come on, get in and try it out! Let me show you how powerful this baby is!" Li Hao jumped into the driver's seat while Bai Yujing walked around and opened the passenger door to sit down.
"You can brag all you want; I haven't seen your driving skills yet. You're only slightly better than me!"
This was Bai Yujing's first time in such a sports car. It looked cool but didn't feel very safe to him: "The lines are so beautiful; when the door opens, it's like a Transformer—so mechanical!"
Li Hao excitedly started the Ferrari and said, "Of course! When they designed the Ferrari Enzo, they integrated the most advanced F1 racing technology concepts into the development of street-legal production cars."
With a roar, Bai Yujing watched as the car shot forward like an arrow. Li Hao laughed heartily while Bai Yujing felt uneasy about his driving skills: "Hey, take it easy! If you crash and die, that's fine for you, but I want to live a few more years!"
"Don't worry! My driving skills are solid; just look at who’s driving!"
"That's exactly why I'm not at ease!" Bai Yujing suddenly realized that this guy was no different from Lin Ruoqiao in this regard; they were indeed siblings!
"Woo woo woo, let's get hyped!" As expected, once the car hit the road, it immediately attracted the attention of the spectators on both sides of the street, making Li Hao even more excited. This guy just loved to show off.
After passing through two streets, the vehicles ahead increased. At this time, there was still a while before the rush hour, making it actually one of the least congested times. Although Li Hao was driving fast and constantly overtaking, it seemed steadier than Bai Yujing had imagined. At least he wasn't driving like Lin Ruoqiao, who treated it like a stunt show, doing whatever dangerous maneuvers came to mind.
Li Hao's speed was fast, but he would slow down and yield when necessary. Bai Yujing relaxed; with exhilarating music playing in the car, it seemed like Bai Yujing really was getting hyped up as Li Hao had said.
"By the way, where are we going?" Bai Yujing remembered a very important question.
Li Hao shouted over the loud music, "What did you say?"
"Where are we going?" Bai Yujing raised his voice.
Li Hao immediately replied as if it were obvious, "Didn't we agree? Shinjuku, Kabukicho!"
".................."
"When did we agree? Did I ever promise? Pull over, I want to get out!"
"Sorry, but you can't stop here!"
