"You've always been good at speaking, okay? It has nothing to do with my pursuit of Eri. It's all because of my sincerity." Lu Mingfei retorted.
"Yo yo yo, you really are out of breath when I tell you you're fat." Nuo Nuo rolled her eyes at Lu Mingfei.
"I think what Lu Mingfei said makes sense." Nuonuo looked at Master Shao, "Think carefully about what he said. Let's turn the page. I still consider you a friend."
“But…” Mr. Shao seemed a little frustrated. He knew that what Lu Mingfei said made sense, and he couldn’t refute a single word. But that was the truth, and understanding it and being able to do it were two different things.
How is it possible that the senior sister whom I have liked for almost twenty years gave up on me so immediately?
"Brother, heartbreak is a common thing for everyone. Who hasn't been dumped by a girl when they were young?" Looking at the devastated Mr. Shao, Finkel put his arm around his arm and poured him wine.
"Brother, have you been dumped by a girl too?" Young Master Shao looked at Finkel eagerly, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"No, I wouldn't say such words if I were dumped. I would probably hug you and cry together. Am I not comforting you?" Finkel toasted with Master Shao in a mean way and drank Master Shao's good wine.
Master Shao looked at this group of guys and felt like crying, these people were all different from those he had met before, they were not like the British students who bullied him in his class when he was a child, nor were they like the people in society who tried hard to curry favor with him when he grew up... Master Shao didn't know what to say, but he always felt that in front of these guys, he, the eldest master of the Black Prince Group, could not even hold his head up.
"Okay, I really have something important to tell you this time." Nuonuo knocked on the table and looked at Mr. Shao.
“Sister, you said…” Lu Mingfei’s words just now brought great shock to Shao Gongzi’s heart, and he was a little afraid to look Nuo Nuo in the eye.
"I came here to borrow a car from you," said Nuonuo.
"Well, borrow a car..." Mr. Shao nodded and waited quietly for Nuonuo's next words, but Nuonuo didn't say anything for a long time.
"Borrow a car, then what, Senior Sister?" Master Shao looked up at Nuonuo in confusion.
"No more." Nono spread his hands, "I need a good car."
"That's it? I thought it was something important." Master Shao breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Nuonuo would throw a wedding invitation on the table the next second and say that she would get married next week. Master Shao would be heartbroken.
In fact, he was more afraid that Nuonuo would not even inform him of her marriage, and he might be desperate... Sometimes one can barely accept any sad things done by the person one loves, but the most unacceptable thing is that she doesn't care about you at all or even ignores you. In her heart, you are just a passerby among thousands.
"Sister, you have really found the right person. I won't say anything else, but I have quite a few cars." Master Shao stood up, opened a drawer in a window, and took out a bunch of keys.
The four circles, blue sky and white clouds, and star-studded trident are considered the lowest-end among them. Some of these keys are ferocious leopard heads, some are snarling cobras, there are also red hurricanes, raised mustangs, and diving bulls. There are all kinds of common luxury cars on the market.
Mr. Shao really wasn't bragging at all, there are few men who don't love cars, and he has at least one model of almost all branded cars that can be purchased. On the one hand, he does have a collecting habit in this regard, and on the other hand, many large companies can deduct part of their taxes by buying luxury cars.
"Mercedes-Benz AMG GT model, with silver-plated film, and the rear wing I just installed last month. Dodge Viper, with the largest displacement, the model that can go on the track to participate in the North American Rally. Ferrari F8, a pick-up girl... ahem, a street-blasting artifact, the engine sound is simply art. Lamborghini Aventador, commonly known as the Bull, with a V12 engine, more than horsepower, and when the accelerator is pressed to half, ordinary cars can't even see its taillights." Young Master Shao introduced with a beaming eyebrow. When it comes to cars, it is completely his area of expertise. He finally regained a little bit of the demeanor of the eldest son of the Black Prince Group.
"They are basically two-seater sports cars." Nuo Nuo frowned slightly and looked at the people present. "Are there any four-seater... no, at least five-seater cars that are fast enough and safe enough?"
"My car has good speed and safety." Master Shao searched through a pile of keys. "But the five-seater...Mustang GT? No, this four-seater is barely enough. Volvo X90? It's safe enough, but the speed is terrible. Porsche Panamera? This is totally a grocery shopping car!"
Mr. Shao is indeed an expert in cars, and he has a very sharp eye. He picked and chose among the many collections and eliminated most of them for Nuo Nuo on his own.
"Found it." Master Shao pulled out a glittering golden car key with a proud expression. "Porsche 911 TurboS, 3.8th anniversary model, limited to units in China. I had to use a lot of connections to get it. Although the engine is only liters, the horsepower is as high as to after modification. If we really want to squeeze in, five people can barely sit in it."
"This is it." Nuonuo took the car keys and reminded Master Shao, "Oh, by the way, did you buy full insurance for your car? Let me be frank, you'd better be prepared to scrap the car this time. If you really break it, I'll compensate you later."
"Sister, given our relationship, let's talk about compensation or not." Master Shao had a smile on his face, but his heart was bleeding.
Chapter 980: The Broken-hearted Mr. Shao
A car worth several million is nothing to the eldest son of the Black Prince Group. Normally, Master Shao would invest more than that in a play. However, this Porsche 10th anniversary model was a 20th birthday gift that his father bought for him through his connections. Master Shao has driven it only a handful of times in the one or two years since he bought it.
But since Senior Sister wants it, Master Shao has to give it to her. It doesn't matter if it's scrapped. Otherwise, where will he put his face? His father has given him many things since he was a child. To put it bluntly, it's just a car... How can a car worth millions of dollars be compared to the friendship between him and Senior Sister for so many years?
"As for the car, you can use it without any worries, don't worry. If you need anything, just tell me, as long as I can help." Master Shao patted his chest and said heroically, but soon his momentum wilted a little, "Although what that brother said to me just now was very reasonable, to be honest, I still like you, senior sister. If you give me a chance, I will definitely perform well, and I will definitely be no worse than that Caesar."
"It's the same old saying, don't always think about hanging yourself on this crooked tree of mine." Nuonuo sighed. She held the car keys that Master Shao gave her in her hand. She felt embarrassed to be fierce and aggressive towards Master Shao after taking someone else's car.
"In any case, you don't have to pay for this car, senior sister. If the car can still be driven, you can park it in any parking lot and I'll ask someone to pick it up. If it really can't be driven, just consider it as a gift to you." Master Shao sighed and said, "I'm not being nice to you for no reason. This is my way of repaying you. If you hadn't saved me, my front teeth would have been gone, and I might have been kicked by those British guys and got a concussion or hemiplegia. My life in elementary school would definitely not have been easy. What the philosopher brother said is indeed true. When I was a child, you protected me. I grew up under your halo. I have liked you for so many years, and it's not just one or two days to say I don't like you."
"I understand. It's normal to have such thoughts. If you don't stick to me like a sticky candy, I will still treat you as a good friend." Nuonuo patted Master Shao's shoulder and made a rare joke with him. "Don't worry, I will send you an invitation to the wedding. It depends on how far you think Italy is."
"Senior Sister, do you have to hurt my heart like this!" Master Shao covered his chest with his hands, and looked like he was about to cry, but he subconsciously felt that if Nuonuo really sent him an invitation, he must go, no matter how heartbroken he was, no matter how ugly his expression was, he would go even if he lay on the ground crying.
Watching his beloved woman marry a good man is probably the last thing a passionate man like him can do.
"But if you weren't in a hurry to leave, I would really like to get to know your friends." Young Master Shao looked at Lu Mingfei, Finger and the others, and finally fixed his gaze on Lu Mingfei. "Your friends are much more interesting than my friends. They are all talented and speak well. Especially this brother, he is like a philosopher. When my company holds a mobilization meeting in the future, I want to invite him to give lectures to my employees."
"Them? Philosophers?" Nono was a little amused. "If you are not afraid that your employees will all become big talkers, just hire them."
"Shao Yifeng, I haven't asked Brother Zhe Ren what your name is yet." Shao Yifeng clinked glasses with Lu Mingfei, "Just now I seemed to hear Senior Sister call you Luffy?"
"That's One Piece you're talking about." Lu Mingfei smiled and clinked glasses with Shao Yifeng. "I'm Lu Mingfei, a local. I've heard of the Black Prince Group and Master Shao since I was a kid."
"Really? Brother Lu's name sounds familiar to me, it seems we have known each other for a long time." Shao Yifeng said politely with a smile, but as he was thinking, he suddenly muttered, "Lu Mingfei... this name does sound a little familiar?"
"Mr. Shao has met many people, so he might have mixed them up." Lu Mingfei shook his head and said, "We haven't met before. I live on the other side of the city and have rarely been to the CBD area."
"Are you studying at Shilan Middle School?" Mr. Shao asked Lu Mingfei as if he suddenly remembered something.
“Huh?” This time it was Lu Mingfei’s turn to be stunned. He asked in surprise, “How did you know?”
"You have a classmate named Su Xiaoqiang, right?" Mr. Shao asked immediately.
"Su Xiaoqiang..." Lu Mingfei immediately understood. Su Xiaoqiang's family had cooperation with the Black Prince Group, so it was normal for Su Xiaoqiang to know Mr. Shao. But what Lu Mingfei didn't expect was why Su Xiaoqiang mentioned him in front of Mr. Shao?
"When I got off the plane this morning, I met Su Xiaoqiang, and she mentioned you to me." Master Shao explained, "At that time, I also said who Lu Mingfei was and how he had made the little goddess of the Su family so confused."
As he spoke, Master Shao looked at Lu Mingfei meaningfully, and glanced at Eri beside her... Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Master Shao not to be moved by a beauty of Su Xiaoqiang's level, but the Su family and the Su family are old friends. Master Shao and Su Xiaoqiang have known each other since childhood. After being overly exposed to Su Xiaoqiang's tough personality since childhood, how could Master Shao be interested in her? If things go wrong, the relationship between the two families will become very strained.
Because his colleague was familiar with Su Xiaoqiang, Mr. Shao also knew that Su Xiaoqiang was so proud that she rarely cared about a boy. Maybe she had a crush on several boys when she was in school, but she would never mention them to everyone. Mr. Shao had heard the name "Lu Mingfei" from Su Xiaoqiang more than once. Otherwise, how could he, who was busy with all kinds of things, deliberately remember the name of a man he had never met?
“So that’s it.” Lu Mingfei suddenly realized. In the early morning, Su Xiaoqiang rushed out of the door in a hurry with a bad expression on his face. It turned out that he went to look for Shao Gongzi.
"My family and Su Xiaoqiang's family have known each other for a long time. In fact, the elders of the two families have always wanted to bring us together, similar to a political marriage, but Su Xiaoqiang and I are not attracted to each other." Master Shao spread his hands, "Su Xiaoqiang's father is in the hospital. When he heard the news that I returned to China, he urged Su Xiaoqiang to meet me."
"I didn't expect that Mr. Shao and Su Xiaoqiang have such a good relationship." Lu Mingfei was a little surprised.
"I wouldn't say she's too good, but she's just a relatively stable partner." Mr. Shao said, "I just remembered that Su Xiaoqiang called me not long ago and said the police came to look for her because there was an explosion and disappearance at a suburban hospital. An off-road vehicle was found not far from the crime scene. The vehicle belonged to her family. She said she lent it to you in the morning. She tried to contact you without telling the police, but couldn't get through, so she was a little worried about you."
"Why did Su Xiaoqiang tell you about this?" Lu Mingfei was still a little confused. According to Master Shao, he and Su Xiaoqiang were not that familiar with each other. They were more of a family and business contact.
Would you tell your business partners that you like someone?
"You may not know Su Xiaoqiang very well. Because of her personality, she doesn't really have many friends. And there are some things that she feels less burdened talking about with people she's not that close to." Master Shao sighed, "Su Xiaoqiang wouldn't normally tell me these things. She told me so much today because I'm pretty powerful in this area, and she thought you were missing and asked me to help find you."
Lu Mingfei felt a pang in his heart... Su Xiaoqiang was still involved in this matter. This was what he least wanted to see. If he had known that it would develop like this, he would not have asked Su Xiaoqiang to borrow the car.
He has always been very clear about Su Xiaoqiang's feelings for him, but Su Xiaoqiang actually liked Chu Zihang, and in the dream story, she also liked Zhao Menghua. It is normal for an adolescent girl to have a good impression of a boy... But Lu Mingfei never expected that Su Xiaoqiang's feelings for him are even deeper than he imagined.
It’s not that Su Xiaoqiang is not good. In fact, Lu Mingfei thinks Su Xiaoqiang is quite nice, but they are really not from the same world, and Lu Mingfei doesn’t have any feelings for her that go beyond friendship... He is actually afraid that Su Xiaoqiang will be too nice to him, just like Nuo Nuo is afraid that Shao will always like her, but it’s not quite the same. Lu Mingfei doesn’t hate Su Xiaoqiang. He hopes that Su Xiaoqiang can find true love, which he sees he can’t give her.
The beauty’s kindness is so great that I am not worthy of it.
"Sigh." Lu Mingfei sighed, and said to Master Shao, "Excuse me for a moment, Master Shao, tell Su Xiaoqiang that my friends and I are safe, but we really have important things to do. Tell her not to investigate our whereabouts anymore. I'm sorry for damaging her car, I'll find a way to compensate her."
"Brother, I will help you convey these words, but if you want me to persuade her to give up, I don't think I can do it." Master Shao glanced at Eri, "I'm not afraid to say it in front of your girlfriend. Liking someone is so irrational. No matter how much you reason, even if you talk your throat dry, people may not listen to you. Just like I know what you say makes sense, but I still like Senior Sister. There's nothing I can do about it. I know Su Xiaoqiang. That girl has a more stubborn temper than me. If you really want her to give up, you might as well say something harsher. Maybe it will be better for her."
Lu Mingfei was a little silent. Before Eri, he had never been in a relationship, so he didn't know how to deal with emotional matters. He couldn't accept Su Xiaoqiang's feelings, but he certainly couldn't really hurt Su Xiaoqiang.
People like him, they invite him to parties, they pick him up from school in person, they even lend him their car. He couldn't possibly just scold them with a sour face.
"I'll try my best. I'm really not good at handling this kind of thing." Lu Mingfei sighed, "If I have time, I'll seek advice from the boss and the others."
"You are my sister's friend, so you are my friend." Master Shao patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder, "You two should take care of your own business first. I will compensate you for the car you damaged."
"How can I do this?" Lu Mingfei waved his hand and declined.
"This is our first meeting, and you are willing to tell me so much. You must treat me as a friend. I also think you are compatible. I, Shao, am generous to my friends, no matter what." Shao patted his chest and said, "Don't say anything, brother. If you think highly of me, I will advance the money for you. You can do your own things first. If you have money later, pay me back. If you don't have money, please treat me to a few drinks. I still have a lot of confusion that I want you to help solve."
"No problem, we'll get together again when we have time." Lu Mingfei wasn't being polite. If they could survive in the end, the car borrowed from Master Shao would surely play a big role. He actually wanted to have a few drinks with this interesting little fat guy.
"Then let's go." Nuo Nuo walked straight out of Mr. Shao's office without any hesitation.
"Senior Sister!" Master Shao took two steps after her, his eyes revealing reluctance to leave.
Nuonuo just waved without turning back, looking very cool. Lu Mingfei and Master Shao said goodbye and followed with Huili.
"Brother, they don't understand you, but I do. If you like Senior Sister, chase her." Finger finally hugged Master Shao's shoulders, "Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't catch up with her. With our conditions, what kind of wife can't we get?"
"That makes sense." Mr. Shao maintained his composure on the surface, but he was actually very jealous in his heart, especially when Nuonuo joked with him that she would send him an invitation to her wedding. It was like spilling a jar of aged white vinegar.
"Well... brother, you have to finish this wine later. It's already been opened. It's such a good wine, it would be a waste if you don't drink it."
Lu Mingfei and the others had already gone far away, but Finkel was still hesitant to leave, his eyes fixed on the unfinished bottle of Snow White champagne on the table.
"Take it, take it. Don't let Senior Sister and the others wait anxiously." Master Shao saw through Finkel's thoughts, threw the champagne on the table to Finkel, and took out a few bottles of expensive red wine from the cupboard, stuffed them into Finkel's arms, and earnestly instructed, "Remember to protect Senior Sister!"
"Of course, of course!" Finkel left with a full glass of wine, satisfied. From his back he looked like a well-fed pony running happily.
After everyone left, Master Shao slumped down on the sofa. He looked dull and dazed, as if his soul had been sucked out of him.
"Boss, boss, Miss Chen and the others have left!" A few minutes later, Master Shao's men rushed into Master Shao's office one after another. They knew what Master Shao was thinking, and they all rushed forward to celebrate with him.
But when they entered the room, everyone fell silent, because their boss was sitting on the sofa with a bunch of wine on the table in front of him. Mr. Shao was staring at the wine in a daze, and suddenly he laughed.
It was not a happy laugh, but a creepy, hysterical laugh, like a cursed spirit that was killed in a horror movie. No one had ever seen this side of Master Shao. The men looked at each other, and their backs were chilled.
As he was laughing, Master Shao suddenly burst into tears, wailing loudly, hugging the Persian velvet pillow on the sofa, and rolling around in tears, like a child who had done something wrong and was spanked by his mother, venting his grievances in an unconcerned manner.
After crying for several minutes, Master Shao suddenly jumped up from the sofa, grabbed a thug by the collar, and scared the latter half to death.
Chapter 981: Gate of the Nibelung
"My senior sister is gone?" Master Shao asked his subordinates in a low voice.
"Yes... yes, he's been gone for more than ten minutes." The henchman's Adam's apple rolled, fearing that the boss would drag him out and behead him at the command of the boss.
"Huh." Master Shao let out a long sigh and fell on the sofa, with a complicated expression on his face between relief and sadness.
All the henchmen stood straight, and no one took the initiative to ask. They had been Master Shao's henchmen for so many years, and they already knew this boss's character well, but no one had ever seen Master Shao like this today... So no one dared to speak without authorization, for fear of bringing bad luck to Master Shao.
"By the way, before Senior Sister came here just now, weren't there two girls waiting for me?" Master Shao suddenly remembered this incident. "Their names were Tu something and Xue something, right?"
"It's Miss Tu Xiaojiao and Ms. Lu Meixue." The henchman replied.
"What did they look like?" Master Shao tapped his head. "My senior sister was here just now, so I was embarrassed to look at them for too long. I remember that they were all dressed pretty sexy, right?"
"It's not just that she's wearing sexy clothes. Miss Tu Xiaojiao's legs are famous in the circle for being slender and straight. She was wearing high heels and black stockings just now, which was so exquisite. And Ms. Lu Meixue's figure, that size, my God, I can't catch up with her even if I put two volleyballs in!" The henchman bravely said excitedly, "Is the boss preparing to change the target?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Master Shao glared at the ignorant henchman, "My feelings towards my senior sister are clear to all, and those wild flowers and weeds are not as good as my senior sister. It's just that I'm in a bad mood and want to go out for a drink."
"I understand, I understand. Master Shao thinks that it's boring for a group of grown men to drink together, so he wants to invite two girls to liven up the atmosphere, right?" The henchman regained his perspective. "Ms. Tu and Ms. Lu are pretty nice. They seem to know how to 'comfort people'!"
Master Shao looked at his men with admiration.
"But we've just sent a car to take them home!" another tactless henchman suddenly said.
"Why did you go home? Scream it out and say I changed my mind. I'm going to invest in two plays and discuss the scripts with them." Shao Gongzi waved his hand and said, "I don't like other women. My heart is still with my senior sister. You don't need to tell her about this, lest she thinks I'm unfaithful."
As he spoke, Master Shao led a group of black-clad henchmen out of the Black Prince Group's building and sat in a Rolls-Royce sedan. Outside the car was a precarious city, and the prosperous CBD area buildings looked like crumbling giants.
"Senior sister doesn't like strong men. It turns out that you should just act pitiful and treat me well. You don't have me in your heart at all." Young Master Shao looked at the greasy-haired fat man in the reflection of the car window and smiled narcissistically. "Isn't he quite handsome? Otherwise, why are so many women obsessed with me? I will definitely be no worse than that Caesar after I dress up!"
……
A silver Porsche 911 sports car was speeding through the rain-soaked city. The roar of its engine sounded like the growl of a wild beast, and the strong wind passed through the streamlined tail wing, making a sharp whistle.
"This car is great, it runs fast, it's a 911th anniversary Porsche , I remember the owner's name was written on the hood of the car." Finkel sat in the passenger seat, stroking the leather seat and sighing, "This Mr. Shao really spent a lot of money this time!"
"I can't help it. If this city hadn't been cut off from the outside world, I wouldn't have asked him to borrow the car." Nono sat in the back seat and complained, "This car runs fast enough, but it's too crowded in the back. Eri and I can't stretch our legs. If someone else gets in the car, we'll be pressed against each other."
"Then I'll sit in the back!" When Finkel heard Nono's last sentence, he suddenly became interested.
"Go to hell, the space is already narrow, and you can take up two-thirds of it!" Nuo Nuo didn't give him any face at all, "I should have changed to a more spacious car earlier."
"Oh, that's the case with all sports cars. Generally speaking, the back seat isn't meant for people to sit in," Finkel said. "A car that's too big isn't good either. It has a large area to bear the force. This kind of low-lying car is best used when escaping. If you drive an off-road vehicle and don't slow down when turning in the rain, it might flip over."
"Mingfei, where is our current destination?" Nuonuo was too lazy to chat with this guy, so she asked Lu Mingfei about serious matters.
"I plan to take the initiative and not just wait for Odin to find me, but we don't know the entrance to Nibelungen." Lu Mingfei said in a low voice while driving and looking at the road ahead, "The only possible breakthrough point now is the place where Senior Brother Ye Sheng disappeared. Maybe we can find some clues to enter Nibelungen there."
"Are you talking about the collapsed overpass?" Nuonuo's heart moved.
"Yes, since Senior Brother Ye Sheng disappeared there, it means that there is a possibility of entering Nibelungen, or at least it was once one of the entrances to Nibelungen." Lu Mingfei nodded and said, "The Nibelungen in this city is different from the two in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and the capital. Odin's Nibelungen can move within the scope of this city. Going to a possible location is at least better than running around in this city like a headless fly."
"Your decision is fine, but there is one thing you said that I don't agree with." Nono looked at the seemingly endless storm outside the window, "I think Odin's Nibelungen is not moving in this city. The scope of Nibelungen is likely to have covered the entire city, but the location where it overlaps with reality has been changing with the appearance of Odin."
"That makes sense." Lu Mingfei nodded and said expressionlessly, "Senior Sister, your statement is more likely."
A loud thunder struck, knocking down a roadside electric pole, and part of the wire caught fire.
"Signal lost ahead, signal lost ahead."
After the charming female voice of the car navigation system repeated itself twice, a rustling sound of electricity came from the car audio system. Lu Mingfei frowned slightly. After restarting it several times, the signal still did not recover.
"Oh, Junior Brother, the rain is too heavy. The network base station in your city might have been struck by lightning." Finkel comforted him, "Or use your mobile phone navigation. I have downloaded a map of this city and can show you the way."
"No need for navigation, I know where that place is." Lu Mingfei shook his head, but his expression became more serious for no reason.
