Ambition of a big villa
That was indeed the case, and he was speaking from experience.
Although he had only been a designated driver for two days, he found that most car owners, more or less, looked down on designated drivers, feeling superior and lacking respect.
This was almost a universal phenomenon in the service industry.
But in reality, why should the service industry be considered inferior?
Customers pay for service, not status!
The two young men nodded seriously, seemingly having realized this issue.
“Then this money…”
Xu Ning snorted and waved his hand.
“You keep it, otherwise, I’m really afraid you’ll call the police.”
Just then, the friend they were waiting for finally arrived late.
As soon as he got in the car, he felt the atmosphere was a bit off.
He wanted to say something, but seeing his two brothers with their heads down looking like unlucky fellows, he realized something might have happened to them.
However, now was definitely not a good time to talk about these things; it would be easier to discuss once they were at the bar and had some drinks.
About 10 minutes later, the car stopped in a parking spot outside the bar.
“Normal designated driving fee is 100 yuan, and you waited for someone for 20 minutes, so there’s an extra 20 yuan.”
“Total 120 yuan!”
Xu Ning naturally collected the designated driving fee.
But the two young men felt the scene before them was incredibly incongruous.
He threw out 400,000 yuan without batting an eye, yet insisted on collecting 120 yuan from them… Still, they obediently paid the designated driving fee, then watched Xu Ning leave in a taxi.
“Congratulations, Host, for working hard and earning 110 yuan. A hundred-thousand-fold increase rewards you with 11,000,000 yuan.”
He earned another 11 million yuan, and this crazy money-making system continuously provided dopamine, making it truly addictive.
However, because of this delay, after returning to the restaurant, he didn't encounter any new designated driving customers.
After the last table settled their bill and left, the three resident designated driving managers exchanged greetings and also departed.
Today, like yesterday, he completed three orders.
However, compared to yesterday’s astonishing 72 million yuan, today’s income of 34 million yuan was less than half.
But Xu Ning knew that today’s income was actually a normal level, perhaps even a bit high.
If it weren’t for that customer who loved to overtake with his sports car yesterday, his income would probably have been even less than today’s.
Adding the 22 million yuan remaining after buying the supercar yesterday, the number in Xu Ning’s account reached 56 million yuan.
This time, he didn't plan to touch it; he wanted to save up and go straight for a grand mansion in one go.
When he had free time during the day today, he had looked up several villas online.
He liked every single one, after all, compared to a cramped dormitory, even an ordinary two-bedroom apartment felt spacious, let alone a large villa.
After much deliberation, Xu Ning mainly settled on two.
The famous Longfor Summer Palace Mansion in the imperial capital, and Ocean Lavie.
The former, as its name suggests, is next to the Summer Palace, featuring a complete royal garden design, even with a royal classical architectural style, and the classic layout of a grand courtyard house for imperial relatives and nobles.
It could be said that living here was almost no different from being an imperial relative in ancient times.
Of course, the price was also quite 'beautiful.'
The villa Xu Ning favored, at 2100 square meters, was priced as high as 300 million yuan.
While Ocean Lavie was a different style of villa, its reputation was just as, if not more, prominent.
The entire villa area was built around the Wenyu River, and the smallest villa occupied 7 mu, practically a private island.
The one Xu Ning favored, at 3600 square meters, was priced at a terrifying 600 million yuan.
Even with Xu Ning’s current daily income of tens of millions, buying such a top-tier villa would probably not be something he could accomplish in just a few days.
Perhaps, he would need to complete the money-making cycle of his designated driver profession to accumulate such wealth.
Hmm, these two villas would be his goals.
Xu Ning suddenly felt he had a goal to strive for and wished he could drive like crazy and make money like crazy!
He walked towards the Koenigsegg parked nearby, started the car, and headed straight for the school.
Driving his own sports car felt completely different from driving someone else's car as a designated driver.
Designated driving required stability and smoothness, while driving his own sports car allowed him to drive as he pleased, like the wind.
He rolled down the window, feeling the strong wind sweep across his face, as if his heart could soar with it.
While waiting at a red light at an intersection, a car slowly pulled up beside him.
This car didn't catch Xu Ning's attention; when the red light turned green, with a roar, the Koenigsegg shot out like a rocket with unparalleled acceleration.
At this moment, several people in the car next to him simultaneously widened their eyes, their jaws dropping.
“Oh my god!”
“He’s actually driving a Koenigsegg One?”
“No wonder he didn’t care about 400,000 yuan!”
“Good heavens! A top young master discreetly working as a designated driver, is he trying to hide his identity and play a game of 'pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger' with a Cinderella?”
That's right, the people in the car were the two who had earned 400,000 yuan from Xu Ning by barking like dogs.
They never expected that the guy who had given them such a profound lesson was actually driving a globally limited edition supercar, the Koenigsegg One.
Such a strong impact made them feel almost insane.
After an unparalleled shock, the two of them, by coincidence, got the wrong idea.
A young master certainly wouldn't take on a tough job like designated driving for no reason.
So what was the reason?
Could it be that designated driving had some benefits they didn't know about?
Suddenly, a thought struck them, and they felt they had figured it out.
Customers who needed designated drivers were all drunk, and likely very drunk, even passed out.
If it was a girl, wouldn't a designated driver be able to do whatever he wanted?
This was similar to 'picking up corpses' outside a bar!
In fact, the chances were much higher!
The two suddenly understood. No wonder the young master was acting low-key as a designated driver; it turned out he could play it this way!
They exchanged glances, and a thought simultaneously popped into their heads—
“How about we also become designated drivers?”
“We'll just stake out outside bars, waiting for beautiful women to call for designated drivers.”
“We’re not in it for the money, we’re just in it for the fun!”
“The exquisite taste of it, only those who do it will know!”
Xu Ning, of course, didn't know he was being misunderstood, and even if he did, he would just smile it off.
By the time he returned to the dormitory, it was almost midnight, and his three brothers were already asleep.
However, even though Xu Ning moved cautiously and quietly, he still woke up Deng Zihao, the fourth oldest.
“Third brother, you’re back really late!”
“You need to pay attention to your rest; even if you’re a designated driver, you can’t ruin your health!”
Deng Zihao mumbled softly, his voice carrying a hint of concern and worry.
Xu Ning smiled, “Got it, I’ll definitely pay attention to my rest.”
Deng Zihao muttered something else, then turned over and fell back asleep.
After a quick wash-up, Xu Ning also got into bed, ready to rest.
Lying in bed, he pondered whether he should stay in a hotel or simply rent an apartment.
The designated driver profession meant working under the stars and moon, with working hours primarily at night, possibly stretching into the late hours.
If he kept returning to the dorm so late, it would be too disruptive to his brothers.
Although he wanted to buy a house and could probably afford one very soon, a purchased house might not necessarily be ready for immediate move-in.
So, for the transitional period, it would be best for him to have a place to stay.
In this case, renting a house or staying in a hotel would be good solutions.
However, the thought of encountering a nasty landlord while renting, like one who would meticulously inspect for damages, was too annoying.
Xu Ning was a person who disliked trouble; the fewer bothersome things, the better.
Moreover, the designated driver profession, a money-making method, only required a month of experience; perhaps the next money-making profession wouldn't require late nights.
Considering everything, staying in a hotel was the most convenient, plus there was housekeeping to clean up.
When he woke up the next day, he found his three brothers already playing games in front of their computers.
“Third brother, you’re awake?”
“Let’s go out for a drink at noon.”
Huo Xuefeng, the eldest, greeted him without turning his head, controlling his character on the computer to charge towards the enemy's high ground.
Xu Ning responded, accustomed to it.
The four roommates often went out to eat; it was usually the three of them looking out for Xu Ning, who paid the least often.
So, he would have to be kinder to these three brothers in the future!
