Bai Tang was a little confused when he saw Secretary Zhang getting out of the car. At this time, President Lu took the car keys from Secretary Zhang and handed them to Bai Tang.

"Don't you like Uncle Lu's 570? Consider this your coming-of-age gift from Uncle Lu. Time is tight, so I could only find a black one. When the time comes, you can get a screen protector applied to whatever color you like."

Bai Tang quickly waved his hands when he heard this: "Uncle Lu, this is inappropriate. This gift is too valuable. I can't accept it."

Secretary Zhang advised, "Miss Bai, just keep it. Mr. Lu put a lot of thought into getting this car in just two days."

Mr. Lu also laughed and said, "Tangtang, you're treating me like an outsider. You've done me a great favor by cooperating with me. This car is nothing compared to your help."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse either way, Bai Tang could only accept the key with drooling.

Li Wenwen and Coach Cheng on the side murmured, "Oh my god, are all these rich people so generous? That 570 is over 170 million yuan, and they just gave it away. I'm so envious and want it so much. Why hasn't anyone given it to me?"

Coach Cheng nodded repeatedly beside him. He wanted it too, and was so envious.

Several people gathered around the two cars parked side by side and praised them repeatedly.

The black 570 is noticeably larger than the white Cayenne. The two cars have different styles, with the 570 being more imposing and majestic, while the Cayenne looks younger and sportier.

Seeing that it was almost noon, after locking the two cars and putting away the car keys, Mr. Lu invited Bai Tang and the other two to go to the company cafeteria for lunch. Bai Tang didn't care and asked the coach and Wenwen to follow him.

Li Wenwen and Coach Cheng were a little embarrassed, but they didn't dare to say anything. They could only act like two quails and follow behind Bai Tang.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, many employees were already eating. It was clean and bright, with a wide variety of dishes. Bai Tang and the other two were amazed. As expected of a large state-owned enterprise, the employee meal was so sumptuous.

From a distance, Mr. Lu called out. They hurried over and were led by Secretary Zhang into a small, medium-sized private room. After arranging for a few people to sit down, Mr. Lu asked Secretary Zhang to arrange for the dishes to be served.

Bai Tang took a look and thought, oh, this is a special lesson for everyone.

After all the dishes were served and Secretary Zhang was seated, President Lu said to Bai Tang and the other two, "Tangtang brought her friends here today, so we have to treat her. Come eat in the cafeteria with me today. Let's see how our company's food is."

Bai Tang responded to Mr. Lu with a smile, while Coach Cheng and Li Wenwen thanked Mr. Lu in a reserved manner.

Afterwards, with Secretary Zhang's greetings, everyone ate to their satisfaction. Bai Tang said happily, "I didn't expect the food in the cafeteria to be so delicious. Oh, I didn't come earlier. What a shame."

Mr. Lu laughed heartily. "If you like it, come here often. If I'm not here, you can eat in the cafeteria on your own. I've given you a badge for your position, too. Bring it in and help yourself."

Bai Tang's eyes lit up. Wow, is this possible? Then from now on, if I don't want to cook or order takeout, I can just eat in the company cafeteria.

Afterward, Mr. Lu called Bai Tang over and asked her to leave her ID and the keys to both cars with Secretary Zhang. The purchase tax and insurance for both cars had already been paid, so all that remained was the registration and license plate selection.

Mr. Lu arranged for Secretary Zhang to complete the remaining paperwork for the two cars that afternoon and put up the license plates. He then turned around and asked Bai Tang if he had any favorite numbers.

Bai Tang thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any particular preference for numbers. If possible, I'd choose letters for the first two digits, like my nickname, Tangtang. TT is pretty and nice too. Don't choose the full name, Bai Tang. BT is too ugly."

Several people around him burst into laughter when they heard it.

After a few more words, everyone went their separate ways. Bai Tang returned home with the coach and Wen Wen. On the way, Coach Cheng reminisced, "After seeing Bai Tang's two cars and then touching this coach's car, the feeling is really indescribable."

That infatuated expression made Bai Tang and Li Wenwen burst into laughter.

When they returned to the practice field, Li Wenwen changed into her own car, said goodbye and left. Bai Tang looked at Li Wenwen's back with envy as she drove away, then turned back to continue practicing hard.

Coach Cheng squinted his eyes as he sat in the passenger seat. "Don't be envious. With your current progress, you'll be able to take the final exam soon, and then you'll be able to drive on the road. It's others who should envy you. Cars worth hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan are the limit for ordinary people, and yet you don't even have a license yet, and there are already two million-dollar luxury cars parked there waiting for you."

Bai Tang agreed. His depressed mood was gone. He hummed a tune while practicing driving, which only made Coach Cheng depressed again.

Around six in the evening, Coach Cheng dropped Bai Tang off at the gate of the residential complex. Along the way, he greeted a few familiar neighbors and gave a piece of chocolate to Xiaole, the naughty kid who had just been beaten, downstairs. Then, he happily went back upstairs.

At 8:30, Bai Tang was sprawled on the sofa watching a variety show, having just finished his takeout. He lamented his own decadence, continuing to slump until Li Xuan called.

"Hey, Tangtang, I just finished my second test today and passed. I have some free time tomorrow, so why don't you go shopping with me?"

As soon as the phone call came through, Li Xuan naturally asked Bai Tang to accompany her. Little did she know that Bai Tang already sneered at her in his heart.

"Xuanxuan, I really don't have time tomorrow. I promised a neighbor in the community to tutor his child. It's hard to refuse." Bai Tang made up an excuse. She didn't want to see Li Xuan at all.

Li Xuan on the other end of the phone obviously didn't expect Bai Tang to reject her so bluntly. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. She took a deep breath. "Okay, Tangtang, then you must accompany me someday when you have time. I'm telling you, I saw a beautiful dress the other day. It's just a little expensive, so I couldn't bear to buy it. I'll show it to you when we go shopping together. It's really beautiful."

As soon as Li Xuan said this, Bai Tang knew what she was up to. After all, in the past, Bai Tang had been tricked into buying things for her time and time again by Li Xuan. This time, she knew that Bai Tang had money, so she wanted to repeat the same trick.

Bai Tang didn't respond to her words, but said indifferently: "Let's talk about it later. I guess I can't afford a skirt that you think is expensive. Xuanxuan, are you okay? I have to get busy."

Hearing Bai Tang was about to hang up, Li Xuan hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, Tangtang, which university are you planning to apply to? My scores aren't high, so I only applied to a second-tier university in Shanghai. Shanghai is an international metropolis, and I want to stay there after graduation. I heard that Zhang Shaoyang applied to Shanghai University of Finance and Economics."

Bai Tang thought, forget it, your score is enough to get into an ordinary first-tier university in the north. You came to Shanghai to go to a second-tier university, isn't it just for Zhang Shaoyang?

"Oh, I applied to Kyoto Normal University. I won't talk to you now, I really have something to do, let's talk later." After saying that, Bai Tang hung up the phone directly, without caring whether Li Xuan had anything else to say.

Li Xuan stared at the hung-up phone screen, her intuition telling her that Bai Tang had changed. Before, Bai Tang had always been obedient to her, but now, he'd hung up on her twice. The dog she once held at her fingertips was now suddenly out of her control. This feeling made Li Xuan feel guilty, wondering if Bai Tang had finally realized she'd been playing tricks on her.
