239: Chapter 239 Win-win generally refers to winning twice.
"Immediately, right now, find out the background of this person for me!"
Huo Shaoqi shouted at his assistant.
Having grown up accustomed to being the center of attention, even in the Shanghai circle filled with big shots, he was an elite; how could he endure being humiliated like this in such a "backward region" in the North?
"Trying to outspend me, huh? Money is the one thing I, this young master, have the most of!"
"Call Butler Wu and have my 7 million Ferrari and 5 million McLaren transported here! I just happened to buy a few extra cars, and I even had him store them away!"
"Young Master, Young Master."
"What? Can't you see I'm angry?"
"The Master is looking for you."
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Huo Shaoqi put away all his emotions, adjusted his appearance, and then hurried to his father's study.
...
...
On the internet, there are the so-called three holy cars of the supercar world: the Ferrari LaFerrari, the McLaren P1, and the porsche 918.
Having done her homework, Sun Yingxue knew it was Zhao Xiaoshuai who had arrived as soon as she saw the car, secretly rejoicing that she hadn't been dazzled just now by that rich second-generation kid driving a Lamborghini.
"Brother, is this your new car? It's really so handsome! Just now, I saw so many people at the school gate taking pictures with their phones."
"Hehe, you can't really drive it in the city; it's just a big toy."
"Even if you can't drive it fast, it's super cool! Just now, when your rear wing rose and the engine roared, those male students were all jumping with excitement!"
Sun Yingxue was certainly very generous when it came to providing emotional value.
Moreover, she didn't just offer empty flattery; she was able to praise him based on reality and hit the nail on the head. Combined with her expressive performance and that look of adoration in her eyes, she believed no man could truly resist it.
Even though Zhao Xiaoshuai knew roughly what kind of person she was and that she had a much higher level of social game than him, he was still very receptive to it at this moment.
"I've called a famous chef team to prepare a big meal for you at my place this noon."
"How did you know I just finished losing weight and was about to have a big meal to make up for it? But if I get fat again, I'll have to latch onto you, Brother. You'll have to take responsibility for me then."
At this moment, Zou Luyao was still at home, excitedly waiting for her online orders to be delivered. Zhao Xiaoshuai bringing Sun Yingxue home at this time had his own considerations.
After a slight probing yesterday, the faint jealousy and reaction Zou Luyao showed indicated that she was not the type of person with a sufficiently "open" mindset.
Although he had decided to try his best not to get involved with this type of girl, Zou Luyao was simply too outstanding.
As the only one among the many women whose looks could currently reach a 9 out of 10, he really couldn't bear to give up.
He could only spend more effort and slowly corrupt her step by step with sugar-coated bullets.
But just giving sweet treats wasn't enough; external stimulation was also needed.
Sun Yingxue was very suitable for this role; she could provide Zou Luyao with enough sense of crisis without over-stimulating her.
After all, her relationship with Zhao Xiaoshuai was currently just friends, and she was a competitor on the same starting line as Zou Luyao.
And whether something is good or not depends entirely on how many people are fighting for it.
Only by making her anxious and forcing her to make a hasty choice would it be most beneficial to him.
The reverse was also true; the existence of Zou Luyao could clearly make Sun Yingxue feel a great sense of crisis, and by then, she would inevitably be unable to continue her easy-going, teasing games.
Therefore, this was a win-win strategy; Zhao Xiaoshuai wins twice.
When they were almost home, he sent a message to Zou Luyao on his phone, asking her to welcome them.
The elevator door opened on the first floor with a ding.
"Welcome home," Zou Luyao said, reluctant but still dutifully bowing to welcome them.
For this "welcome home" service, Zhao Xiaoshuai had paid a 500-a-month subscription fee to get Zou Luyao to reluctantly agree to it.
However, the sight of Zou Luyao suddenly appearing at the doorway, bowing with her head lowered, made Sun Yingxue, who was following beside him, widen her eyes.
Even though she had rushed and hurried, she still wasn't as fast as the other party; she had actually been beaten to moving into this luxury mansion.
And Zou Luyao, who lifted her head after bowing, stiffened instantly. After all, Zhao Xiaoshuai hadn't mentioned that he was bringing someone back! This was so awkward; she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into!
However, this girl was so pretty.
"This is Zou Luyao, my friend, currently staying temporarily at my place. That was just a little game we usually play, don't mind it."
"Yaoyao, this is Sun Yingxue, also my friend, who is here as a guest today."
The first to recover was Sun Yingxue; she keenly received the signal represented by the word "friend."
This proved that no matter what dirty tactics she used to move into this mansion first, they hadn't confirmed their relationship, so she could only be considered slightly in the lead; it was not too late for anything.
However, the level of intimacy in the way they addressed each other made her feel a bit anxious.
"Hello there, Brother's friend is my friend. Can I call you Yaoyao from now on?"
Zou Luyao only just came to her senses then, "Ah, oh, hello, you can call me whatever you want. I'm also very happy to meet you."
Although the girl in front of her was currently just his friend, her conditions in all aspects were clearly much higher than those two women she had seen yesterday.
A strong sense of crisis rose in her heart; she didn't even notice that Zhao Xiaoshuai had naturally escalated the way they addressed each other.
"Yaoyao, I see your makeup skills are just average. If you want to do cosplay in the future, you really need to learn properly. Xiaoxue knows a lot about this; you can ask her for advice."
Hearing this, Zou Luyao suddenly felt a bit happy, 'I just complained a little yesterday about my poor makeup skills; could it be that he invited this friend over specifically for me?'
Compared to Zou Luyao's slow reaction, Sun Yingxue noticed the change in address immediately.
'Is this a reward for me agreeing to the vague conditions he offered last time, implying my status has been elevated? Or is he calling me this on purpose to provoke Zou Luyao?'
Sun Yingxue didn't have an answer in her heart for a moment, but she didn't hesitate at all on the surface, "Yaoyao, you like playing cosplay too? Although I haven't played it, I have several close friends who do. I often help them with their makeup. If you need any help, just come to me."
"Then thank you in advance, Sun... Sister Xiaoxue. I should be younger than you, right? I'm only 19."
'We've been competing for the title of school beauty for so long, and she doesn't even know me? Heh.'
'Is she implying with hidden meaning that she has never taken me seriously? And specifically showing off that she's younger than me? You've really got something, little sister.'
"Just call me Xiaoxue. We are both Brother's friends, no need to be so distant."
Zou Luyao was also moved by the other party's "sincerity" at this moment, "You are so nice! Xiaoxue, I actually have a lot of questions I want to ask you. Come to my room and we can talk."
'Is this a reminder that she has a room that belongs to her here? Heh.'
Sun Yingxue revealed a sweet smile, "Okay."
