Chapter 45 I Will Also Host a Banquet
In the presence of such a beautiful woman, Secretary Li found it difficult to restrain his temper. He simply wore a cold expression and decisively removed his coat, tossing it carelessly onto the ground.
The gazes of the two men grew icy as they locked eyes. Li Chao believed that, as the son of a deputy bureau chief and the secretary of the municipal party committee, his formidable aura made it impossible for anyone to meet his gaze directly.
But the man standing across from him, covered in grease and wearing cheap clothing from a street vendor, did not seem to fear his aura. Instead, he looked back at him with a disdainful gaze. This made Li Chao, the pride of heaven, feel a little uncomfortable.
"Excuse me, Miss Su, could you come over here for a moment?" The atmosphere seemed somewhat awkward, but at this moment, Mr. Wang Feng suddenly shouted from a distance, "One of your students has a leg cramp!"
"Got it, I'm coming!" Su Ji deeply looked at the two men, then ran towards the direction of the playground.
As soon as Su Ji left, Li Chao immediately changed his expression. He lifted his chin and stared at Qin Chao, suddenly asking, "So, how much money do you want?"
"What?" Qin Chao didn't react at first.
"I mean, how much money do you need to leave Su Ji?" Secretary Li pulled out a small notebook from his jacket pocket and said, "You name the amount, take the money, and leave quickly. With this money, you can live anywhere for the rest of your life, away from Guangyuan College."
"Hehe..." Qin Chao finally understood Li Chao's meaning. He hugged his arms and sneered, "Money is indeed a good thing, and I also like money very much."
"I knew it, this is the face of people like you." Li Chao's lips curled with a hint of pride and disdain. "So, how much do you want? I don't like people who ask for too much. As a person, you should know your own limitations."
"You're right, a person should indeed know their own limitations." Qin Chao nodded and looked at Li Chao with some approval. "If you have self-awareness, you should know where your money came from. Although I'm wearing cheap clothes and don't have your internationally renowned brand names, the money I used to buy these clothes was earned by myself. I feel comfortable wearing them and there's no pressure. Although I ride a bicycle, it was bought with the money I earned from working, and it's clean and white. I'm not afraid of anyone stabbing me in the back."
"The international brand you threw on the ground is expensive, the Audi Q7 you're driving is luxurious, and the way you present your checkbook is quite impressive. Unfortunately, none of these were earned by your own merit. Your father only makes a few thousand yuan a month, and your salary is not even higher than his. Can you and your father's wages afford an Audi Q7?"
"Hmph..." Li Chao's eyes flashed with anger, he sneered, "What's the use of being sharp-tongued? Even if you talk till the sky falls, you're just a garbage security guard. Listen here, if you keep pestering Su Ji, you won't have it good. As long as I'm here in Sunan City, you won't have it good, Qin Chao."
"Then come on, I'd like to see how you can deprive me of my good fortune." Qin Chao stood there, unmoved by Li Chao's threats. "But please remember this, 'A man's anger rises and blood is spilled five steps away.'"
"Let's see about that." Li Chao saw Su Ji walking back and gave Qin Chao a glance before turning and driving away.
"What were you two talking about?" Su Ji finished with her student and came back, curious about Qin Chao and Li Chao's conversation.
"Nothing much, just exchanging some feelings." Qin Chao shrugged. "Looks like your friend has some opinions about me."
"Don't mind him." Su Ji said. "He grew up in a honey pot, typical playboy. I met him when I was studying abroad, and he's been trying to pursue me ever since. Humph, I don't like these rich kids with fancy exteriors but rotten cores."
"So you don't like BMWs or villas?" Qin Chao asked.
"Idiot, of course I like them!" Su Ji rolled her eyes. "But I already have them, that's all."
Su Ji stared at Qin Chao for a moment before suddenly saying, "Actually, these things are just fleeting clouds. No matter how rich someone is, they still leave this world with nothing. So, in my opinion, these things are not worth pursuing."
"What do you pursue then?"
"Do you believe in cultivating immortality?" Su Ji suddenly asked. Qin Chao's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the beautiful Su Ji and instinctively nodded.
"I knew you believed me. Hehe, alright, let's not talk about that anymore. You go to work and remember to pick me up this afternoon to go to Li Na's school together."
Su Ji rambled on without a clear beginning or end, leaving Qin Chao standing by the side of the playground, completely confused.
Why did Su Ji suddenly bring up the topic of cultivation? Could it be that this little girl knew something?
"Captain Luo, this is Li Chao. Can you do me a favor...?"
In the Audi car, Li Chao put down his phone. He remembered Qin Chao's annoying face and couldn't help but sneer.
"A little security guard like you, I wonder what you're going to do against me!"
Even though Qin Chao had only been working in Sunan City for less than half a month, he had already made so many enemies. But he still enjoyed it. As soon as he finished work, he rode his bike to the school gate to wait for Su Ji.
"Qin Ge, going home?" Zhang Li was on duty today and stood at the gate, greeting Qin Chao.
"Yeah, waiting for someone first." Qin Chao handed Zhang Li a cigarette and lit it for him. Zhang Li was a little flattered and thanked him repeatedly.
"Qin Chao, you're not allowed to hang around the school gate after work. Go home." Wang Wenkun, dressed in a suit and with some hair gel on his head, didn't know where he was going for his date. When he saw Qin Chao, he couldn't help but scold him.
"Hey, our Director Wang is dressed like this, is he going to meet some little third comrade?" Qin Chao immediately retorted sarcastically.
"Nonsense! I-I'm going home!" Wang Wenkun seemed a little flustered but still spoke loudly.
"Oh, going home." Qin Chao smiled mischievously, sniffed his nose, and laughed, "Director Wang is so elegant, he even sprays such a strong Gu Long cologne to go home."
"What are you talking about?" Wang Wenkun clutched his little bag, got into his Chery QQ car, and immediately fled.
"Hey, Qin Ge, thank goodness for you." Zhang Li smoked the Red River cigarette and sighed, "This Director Wang used to bully us so much. It wasn't until you came that things got a little better. It's a pity that you're not the Director anymore, otherwise, we could really turn the tables and sing songs of liberation."
"Hehe, don't worry." Qin Chao patted his shoulder and said, "I've got your back from now on. As long as I'm around, that guy won't dare to be arrogant again."
"Well, we were always afraid of him, but not anymore."
"What's there to be afraid of? You have to believe in one thing: the soft fear the hard, the hard fear the reckless, the reckless fear the shameless, and the shameless fear insurance salesmen." Qin Chao's theory defeated Zhang Li, who nodded repeatedly.
"Yeah, Qin bro, I'll stick with you from now on!"
"What do you mean stick? I'm not the boss of the mafia." Qin Chao straightened his bicycle. At this moment, Su Ji, the school's gymnastics teacher and Chairman Su's sister, finally finished work and ran over in a red windbreaker.
While Zhang Li stared in disbelief, Su Ji sat on the back of Qin Chao's bicycle and hugged his waist.
"Quick, drive faster! 70 miles per hour!"
"This is a bicycle, not a BMW sports car!"
"A BMW only runs 70 mph, it's not as good as a bicycle!"
"Watch this, see how fast my magic weapon is!"
The two of them bantered and rode away.
"No wonder Qin ge is so awesome..." Zhang Li dropped his cigarette on the ground and stared dumbfoundedly at the direction they left in. "Even Teacher Su Ji was charmed by him. What does he have to fear in the school? Following Qin ge, there's potential for development!"
Qin Chao's cycling skills were exceptional, and the two of them raced along the road.
"Director Yang, your new car is so cool!" On the street, a Porsche Cayenne drove steadily by. In the car was none other than Yang Shu, Chairman Yang. Sitting next to him was a secretary who dressed very elegantly but exuded a seductive air.
"And it has GPS navigation too, this car is amazing!"
"Of course, I got this car through a friend. You can't buy it in Sunan City! Xiao Huang, follow Yang ge from now on, and you'll be able to drive a good car in the future!"
"That goes without saying..." The little secretary immediately transformed into a soft and beautiful snake-woman, lying in Yang Shu's arms. Her small hands slipped into his clothes, gently caressing everywhere.
"I'll be with Director Yang from now on, but Director Yang, please don't bully me... Also, I want to drive a Porsche in the future!"
"No problem, hehe..." Yang Shu was tickled by the secretary's touch, and his hands on the steering wheel trembled. "Look, how fast this car can go."
Because they were on a road in the outskirts, the traffic was very light. Yang Shu increased the speed and drove at almost 150 miles per hour. This speed was like a gust of wind, making the female secretary excited and screaming in the car.
"Director Yang, your car is so fast!"
"That's right!" Yang Shu was so happy that he couldn't help but laugh out loud. At this time, there was an Audi A6 in front of them. Judging by the license plate, it was not a government car, so Yang Shu immediately pointed at it and said,
"Xiao Huang, watch me overtake it!" Saying that, Yang Shu was like a rooster that had just won a fight. He stepped on the gas, and the Porsche Cayenne, like an awakened tiger, roared and shot past the Audi A6.
The Audi A6 was just a small commercial car and couldn't compete with the Porsche Cayenne. Yang Shu easily passed it and used his butt to squeeze the Audi.
"We passed it, great!" The female secretary was even more excited, even starting to dance in the car and slowly taking off her clothes.
Yang Shu's eyes also turned red. He turned up the music and played a pumping hi-tempo song. Both of them seemed to have had some drinks and were slightly excited.
Just when they were ready to overtake again, it suddenly became eerily quiet.
Because in their line of sight, an old and rusty Forever 28 bicycle carrying a beautiful woman passed them with a creaking sound, like lightning. The woman sitting in the back seat even hugged the man riding the Forever 28 bicycle with one hand, and raised the middle finger to the people in the Porsche Cayenne with the other hand.
Chapter 46 Forever Sprint King
Even if Chairman Yang was ignorant and uneducated, he should have understood this international gesture. So, under the instigation of the flirtatious secretary beside him, the slightly drunk guy raised the gears of the Porsche Cayenne one by one.
The Porsche Cayenne roared like a released tiger, howling on the road with the wind in its wake, and in a blink of an eye, it overtook the Forever 28 bicycle.
"They've passed us!" Su Ji immediately patted Qin Chao's shoulder and shouted, "Quick, catch up!"
"Alright!" Qin Chao was also fired up, especially with a beautiful woman sitting behind him, making him a little irrational. He lowered his body and pedaled hard, unleashing the full potential of the modified Forever 28 bicycle. The tires left a trail of red sparks on the ground, which would have burnt out long ago if they weren't tempered into magical tools.
In an instant, the bicycle's speed increased significantly. Su Ji only felt a strong pulling force, dragging her body. She could only hold Qin Chao's waist tightly and stick to his broad back.
Like the wind, the Forever 28 bicycle, with its dazzling sparks, once again overtook the Cayenne, leading the way in front of everyone's stunned eyes.
Su Ji once again expressed her contempt for the Cayenne. At this moment, Yang Shu finally noticed the woman he saw in Chaoyang Park last time!
F*ck! Yang Shu cursed loudly, he must let this beauty see the power of the Cayenne and know how powerful money can be!
So, Yang Shu stepped on the gas pedal, and the Cayenne was already approaching 200 mph, whistling like the wind, closely chasing behind the Forever 28 bicycle.
Liang Xiaochen was a female police officer of the Traffic Police Brigade. Because of her hot-headedness, she had a quarrel with the brigade leader and was assigned to this godforsaken road section.
Her daily task was to ride her Wuyang Honda 125 and use the speed gun in her hand to measure the speed of the cars coming and going.
The reason this female police officer was arguing with her captain was because she was a fanatic of street racing. But even though she became a traffic cop, it didn't stop her from pursuing her passion for racing. When she first started her new position, she could often be seen on the highways chasing after those small cars that violated traffic rules on her modified Wuyang Honda 125 motorcycle.
"Seriously, not even one speeder," Liang Xiaochen lazily lay on her car, holding a speed gun that accentuated her perfect curves in her police uniform.
Just as she was bored out of her mind, a gust of wind suddenly came with a powerful suction force, pulling her away.
"What the hell!" Liang Xiaochen was taken aback and looked at the speed gun in her hand. 190 mph! Great, speeding! The young woman immediately got excited and quickly got on her motorcycle, chasing after the speeder.
It must be some street racing crew competing on this highway in the suburbs! That was Liang Xiaochen's first guess. Judging from the speed, it must be two small cars!
The top speed of a Wuyang Honda 125 is only 110 to 130 mph, and any higher than that is a bit unstable. However, Liang Xiaochen, a fervent enthusiast, went on a wild rampage with her motorcycle every month after receiving her paycheck, and made crazy modifications to her beloved vehicle. As a result, reaching a speed of 180 mph was no problem for her.
At this moment, she was wildly racing at nearly 200 mph, and the motorcycle was roaring with thick smoke coming out.
The fierce Liang Xiaochen didn't even wear goggles, and tears flowed down her face as she chased after them. It was only then that she noticed that the two racers were driving a Porsche Cayenne SUV and...
Liang Xiaochen was completely dumbfounded.
It was actually a Forever 28 bicycle! With someone on it! Oh my god, she wasn't dreaming, was she?
She quickly made up her mind and took out her walkie-talkie to report to her superiors.
"Report, on S1 road in the New City district, a Porsche Cayenne with license plate number XXXXX was found racing with, uh, a Forever 28 bicycle... traveling at a speed of 190 mph... I'm not kidding!"
Yang Shu, in the Cayenne, began to feel that something was wrong. The surrounding vehicles seemed to be increasing, and many of them were flashing red and blue lights. There were also many traffic cops on motorcycles riding alongside him, seemingly escorting him.
One of the police cars blared its loudspeaker. "Stop the car immediately! Porsche Cayenne! And...um, Forever 28! Pull over immediately!"
"Oh no, there are so many police cars!" Su Ji turned her head and saw that more and more police cars were joining the pursuit. She couldn't help but feel anxious and turned to Qin Chao. "Don't worry, leave it to me!" Qin Chao smirked. His entire being suddenly became calm as he observed the road conditions around him.
Up ahead was a forked bridge. The road under the bridge led to the downtown area of Sunan City, while the bridge itself led to the nearby Jingyang City. Qin Chao smiled and rode his bike straight onto the bridge.
The Porsche Cayenne and a large group of police cars followed suit. Yang Shu had nothing to lose at this point, since he was already being watched by traffic police. He was determined to beat that bike and would just pay his way out of any consequences.
But Qin Chao didn't want to get entangled with these annoying guys. With a sudden flick of his bike, he sent sparks flying and gracefully soared through the air. The bike carved a beautiful arc in the sky, clearing a distance of over ten meters before crashing onto the road below the bridge with Su Ji's scream.
For the modified Forever 28, this kind of small jump was a piece of cake! Su Ji only felt a jolt in her body as the bike landed on the ground and once again sped away with sparks flying.
Back on the bridge, everyone was dumbfounded. Yang Shu also slowed down his car, staring at the direction where the Forever 28 had gone.
"What the hell was that? A transformer or a bike?"
Liang Xiaochen was also stunned. She considered herself part of the "Out of Control" group, but she never expected to encounter such a badass today. However, she firmly believed in one thing: she must find this guy again and ask him for bike riding tips!
Also, she wanted to know how he modified that bike. It was a plain black Forever 28. How could it be transformed into that?
Liang Xiaochen glanced at her speedometer and felt completely dizzy.
"You, get off the car!" But she didn't forget her duty. Among so many police cars, only she could catch up to that Porsche Cayenne.
After the disappearance of the bicycle, Yang Shu calmed down and obediently parked his car by the bridge, accepting the inspection by the traffic police.
Seeing the flushed faces of Yang Shu and his female secretary, Liang Xiaochen knew they had both been drinking.
"Blow into this." An old traffic police officer walked over and handed them a breathalyzer.
Yang Shu became somewhat irritable, pushing away the device and shouting, "I-I haven't been drinking!"
Ha! Such a strong smell of alcohol. Several traffic police officers who were standing nearby couldn't help but cover their noses. Liang Xiaochen widened her eyes and scolded.
"You call this not drinking? You might as well have fallen into a vat of alcohol! Driving under the influence, show me your driver's license!"
"I said I haven't been drinking... I really haven't been drinking!" Yang Shu was indeed a bit drunk. Racing with someone else and having his blood rush quickly through his veins stimulated his male hormones.
"You, you little girl, why are you shouting? Believe it or not, I'll find someone to tear your skin off!" Yang Shu shouted. He believed money could solve everything. As long as he was willing to spend, he could definitely drive this beautiful girl away from the traffic police.
"This person has had too much to drink. Let me handle it." A chief officer walked over and patted Liang Xiaochen's shoulder.
Several experienced traffic police officers took over the handling of Yang Shu's case, leaving Liang Xiaochen standing to the side, fuming with anger.
She despised Yang Shu. Who do you think you are? You might think you're so cool, but how come you can't keep up with someone on a Forever bicycle? There are so many posers in this world!
Meanwhile, on the bridge, chaos had erupted. Qin Chao was leisurely pedaling his Forever bicycle, carrying Su Ji and driving at a normal speed on the road.
The fifteen-minute journey was completed in just five minutes.
The two had already entered the city and quickly stopped in front of the gate of Second High School.
"Hoo hoo..." Su Ji jumped off the car, feeling a little numb in her legs. She held onto Qin Chao with one hand and lightly pinched her calf with the other, saying, "That was so exciting, we must have gone at least 200 miles per hour."
"It's nothing," Qin Chao glanced at the gate of Second High School and noticed that two people had arrived early, and school hadn't ended yet. "Li Chao's Audi Q7 can also go that fast."
"Hmph, it's not as simple as that," Su Ji pouted, giving Qin Chao a look. "Just because someone can drive an Audi Q7 at 200 miles per hour doesn't mean anyone can do the same with a Forever 28."
Qin Chao felt a chill run down his spine from Su Ji's meaningful gaze. This girl must have noticed something. Damn, he had probably secreted too much adrenaline at the time and didn't think twice about racing against the Porsche Cayenne. Now he didn't know how to clean up the mess.
"Let's go, take me inside!" Su Ji was a little excited as she pulled Qin Chao's arm and headed towards the campus. "I went to a private elite school for middle and high school, I've never been to a public school like this before!"
"What's so interesting about this place?" Qin Chao shrugged. He went to a key high school back in the day, and while the admission rate was high, most of the colleges were third-tier schools that anyone could get into with money.
The so-called key schools were just a name.
"Registration for Outsiders!" This key high school was semi-closed, so visitors were not allowed to enter at will. A security guard stood at the entrance, patting the registration book on the table and saying.
Qin Chao quickly signed his and Su Ji's names on the book and said, "We're here for the parent-teacher conference."
"Parent-teacher conference?" The security guard was taken aback, looking at the young couple in front of him. The man was handsome, but he ignored him. The woman was beautiful and had an extremely good figure, which made him glance at her a few more times before reluctantly looking away.
Su Ji smiled at the security guard, who suddenly felt like he was bathed in the spring breeze. He felt lightheaded until the two had entered the school for quite some time before coming to his senses.
It was then that the security guard remembered a question: were there really parents this young?
