64: Chapter 64 Going to the Bar
Considering it was Sunday and he was idle anyway, Lin Yi agreed to Zhang Hanyu's proposal.
The two agreed that Zhang Hanyu would drive over to pick up Lin Yi around nine in the evening to go together.
In the afternoon, Lin Yi curled up alone in the villa, playing on his phone for a good while, when a sudden thought occurred to him: it was time to get himself a computer.
So he went out, and without a second thought, ordered a full set of Republic of Gamers equipment.
Being rich is great; there's no need to consider price-performance ratios at all.
Just buy whatever is the most expensive.
Just pick the one with the highest specs in every category.
After all, there's always a reason for something being expensive.
The whole computer setup was just about the numbers; there wasn't a hint of technical skill involved.
Lin Yi used to be unable to understand why rich people always liked to waste money when there were clearly more economical ways to save a bit.
Now he finally understood: truly wealthy people simply don't care about such things.
To them, time is their most precious asset.
Rather than wasting time researching how to save a little money, it's better to spend that time earning more.
Often, the pittance saved after racking one's brains isn't even as high as what those tycoons earn in a minute.
...
After the installer came over and set up the computer, Lin Yi couldn't wait to turn it on and play a few rounds.
The Republic of Gamers gear was truly extraordinary; Lin Yi felt his gameplay had improved to a whole new level.
Just like that, playing on the computer for the whole afternoon, time quickly reached nine in the evening.
Accompanied by a low roar of an engine.
A black and white two-tone rolls-royce Wraith pulled up to the entrance of Lin Yi's villa.
Knowing he was picking up Lin Yi that night, Zhang Hanyu specifically told the driver to bring his own ride.
At least it would seem a bit more formal.
"Young Master Zhang, you're here!"
Seeing this, Lin Yi pushed open his door and walked out.
The driver politely opened the door, and Zhang Hanyu gestured for Lin Yi to enter.
Lin Yi bent down and slid into the back seat of the car.
This was Lin Yi's first time sitting in a rolls-royce, so he couldn't help but look around with curiosity.
The iconic starlight headliner, in particular, made Lin Yi's eyes light up.
Luxury cars are indeed different.
By comparison, his own panamera felt a bit embarrassing to show off.
"Young Master Zhang, nice car."
Lin Yi exclaimed sincerely.
Zhang Hanyu got in from the other side and signaled the driver to go.
"Young Master Lin, you're joking. In your eyes, this kind of car is probably a bit beneath notice."
After all, just the day before yesterday, Zhang Hanyu had seen Lin Yi casually gift someone a luxury flat worth over ten million.
A car worth a few million really didn't count for much to Lin Yi.
It could only really be used to bluff ordinary people.
Lin Yi smiled without offering much explanation.
With a step on the gas, the driver soon arrived at their destination.
After getting out, Zhang Hanyu pointed to the sign in front of them that read "Starry Night Bar" and introduced it.
"Young Master Lin, this is it."
Looking at the huge sign, Lin Yi asked in confusion.
"Aren't we buying a car? Why are we at a bar?"
Zhang Hanyu hurriedly explained.
"Young Master Lin, you might not know, but the owner of this bar is called Cheng Hong, and we all call her Sister Hong."
"Besides being the owner of this bar, she is also the owner of the largest car dealership in Nanling City."
"I bought this car from her."
"She has many channels at her disposal and claims that, apart from those two mythical cars that are limited to one unit worldwide, she can get her hands on any other vehicle."
Lin Yi nodded, understanding, and walked into the bar with Zhang Hanyu.
Just as they entered, a waiter came up to them enthusiastically.
"Young Master Zhang, you're here!"
The waiter looked sycophantic; it seemed Zhang Hanyu frequented this place often.
But that was normal; after all, second-generation rich kids only had so many entertainment options.
Zhang Hanyu nodded at the waiter.
"Help me book a private room."
When Zhang Hanyu came here with friends before, he basically booked supreme booths, but since he was bringing Lin Yi today, he had to show off his status.
No fancy stuff, just go straight for a private room!
To his surprise, the waiter looked a bit troubled.
"Young Master Zhang, all five of our Imperial private rooms have already been booked for today."
"How about... a booth?"
Starry Night Bar was very popular; to book a private room, one usually had to book at least a week in advance.
Lin Yi and Zhang Hanyu had decided to come on a whim, so naturally, they hadn't made a reservation.
Zhang Hanyu felt a bit awkward.
Those who could book private rooms here were definitely people of status.
He couldn't just forcibly snatch it from someone else...
"Young Master Zhang, let's just sit at a booth!"
Lin Yi didn't care.
This was his first time at a place like this.
Sitting at a booth would be closer to the dance floor, and the atmosphere would be better.
Who comes to a bar and doesn't want to enjoy the liveliness?
Seeing Lin Yi agree, Zhang Hanyu stopped dallying and told the waiter to lead them to a supreme booth.
Although the grade was slightly lower than the Imperial private rooms, it was still quite decent.
A supreme booth had a minimum spend of 88,000, which wasn't something an average person could afford.
Therefore, as soon as Lin Yi and Zhang Hanyu sat down, many young hotties around them cast fiery gazes in their direction.
Staring at the two of them like they were prey.
"As for drinks..."
"Let's start with two Shenlong sets. We aren't mainly here to party today; we have serious business with your boss."
"Go tell Sister Hong that I've introduced a business opportunity to her."
Zhang Hanyu slipped the waiter a few hundred yuan as a tip, asking him to pass the message along.
The waiter beamed with joy and immediately scurried off.
Not long after, the drinks were served.
Along with them came four young and beautiful hotties.
Zhang Hanyu remembered the two top-tier beauties that had been with Lin Yi when he bought the house, so he naturally assumed Lin Yi was into this sort of thing.
So, he took the liberty of asking the waiter to call over a few girls to drink with them.
Otherwise, just two grown men would be too dull.
Seeing that Zhang Hanyu was so considerate, Lin Yi gave him a look that only men would understand.
Coming to a bar, this is how you have fun drinking!
Under the guidance of the girls, Lin Yi also learned some common bar games.
Finger grabbing, lady cards—he had a blast.
Before long, they were already on their second round of drinks, yet Cheng Hong had still not appeared.
"Is your Sister Hong very busy today? Why hasn't she come over yet?"
Zhang Hanyu asked, pulling a hottie next to him.
The hottie giggled coquettishly.
"Young Master Zhang, don't be so impatient; let us keep you company a little longer."
"Sister Hong is in the Imperial private room today. It's said there are some guests from Korea there who specifically requested Sister Hong's company."
Hearing this, Zhang Hanyu squinted his slightly tipsy eyes and looked toward the direction of the private rooms.
The side of the Imperial private room facing the main hall was a huge transparent glass panel; from their booth, one could vaguely see inside the room.
He saw three men surrounding a woman, incessantly urging her to drink.
However, the woman appeared to be handling it with ease, pushing back the drinks she didn't want while chatting and laughing, and effortlessly dodging the countless wandering hands of those men.
