50: Chapter 50: A good hot pot is one that doesn't require spears! A beginner's guide!

Early the next morning, Su Yang woke up bright and early.

He got dressed and went to the living room, then stepped out onto the balcony to gaze at the distant scenery, feeling refreshed.

With the morning breeze blowing, he spread his arms and stretched!

Then, he looked down at the backyard of the villa below.

It was a patch of green, dotted with many bright red, pink, and white flowers.

Su Yang had carefully identified them; they were likely Chinese roses and roses!

He had noticed them since the second day he moved in.

Must say, these rich people certainly know how to live with a bit of flair.

Aside from the owner, Su Yang was probably the only one who could see that patch of roses and Chinese roses.

In this apartment building, there were three units on the first floor, but only Su Yang's unit faced the villa complex directly.

The villa owner had likely built the wall very high to protect their privacy.

But no matter how high the wall was, Su Yang lived on the sixth floor!

Even the tall ornamental trees couldn't block his view.

Su Yang thought it was pretty good; others grew the flowers, and he got to enjoy them.

Pure profit!

After washing up, he went downstairs and waited for Ma Ran's car.

"Boss, should we go eat breakfast first?"

"Let's go to that breakfast shop!"

"Understood!"

Ever since Su Yang gained the Sensitive Taste talent, he had become increasingly picky about food.

Especially when it came to food that wasn't fresh; he could tell with just one bite.

As for takeout, he hadn't dared to order it for a long time.

He could even taste the preservatives found in spicy gluten strips in his takeout.

Good grief!

They used cheap pre-made dishes and still had the nerve to charge high prices!

The breakfast shop Su Yang liked was an old, family-run establishment.

The breakfast here tasted quite good, the ingredients were fresh, and they put real effort into it.

It was said to have been open for seven years, and everyone in the neighborhood liked eating here.

He took Ma Ran to find a seat, and Su Yang ordered a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, three meat buns, and a tea egg.

Ma Ran ordered something similar, but he got a bowl of lotus seed porridge instead.

He used to have a habit of skipping breakfast, but ever since he started working for Su Yang, his daily diet had become regular.

While waiting for breakfast to be served, Su Yang took out his phone and opened Douyin. The first video he saw was from "Xiaoxiao Wants to Lose Weight."

The video had been posted last night, and it already had seven thousand likes.

It even marked the address of the Jiuxiang Beef Hotpot Restaurant, along with the distance from his current location to the hotpot restaurant, and the group-buying deal was already live.

He opened the comments, and the top-liked comment amused Su Yang.

Xiaoxiao Jun: "For me, a good hotpot is one that doesn't give you the runs!"

Someone replied immediately below.

Sheep Who Loves to Eat: "Same here. Whenever I eat fast food or hotpot, I easily turn into a jet-propulsion warrior!"

Listening to Rain on a Boat: "Every time I eat hotpot and get diarrhea afterward, I feel like I've lost money!"

Wuhu Takeoff: "@Listening to Rain on a Boat: Bro, you can just eat it back up; that way you won't be at a loss!"

Xiaojing Is Very Quiet: "I have a weak stomach and usually get diarrhea from hotpot, but I've been to Jiuxiang three times and haven't had any issues!"

Eryi: "@Xiaojing Is Very Quiet: Is it good?"

Xiaojing Is Very Quiet: "@Eryi: Among the eateries near Feida Plaza, Jiuxiang is probably one of the best!"

Sunny Day No Rain: "@Eryi: Plus, the portions are generous and the service is great!"

Eryi: "@Xiaojing Is Very Quiet @Sunny Day No Rain: Then I'll go check it out!"

Su Yang smiled and looked at the second comment that had broken a thousand likes.

King Magikarp: "Xiaoxiao ate so much and only spent one hundred yuan; that's already considered cheap over in Feida Plaza!"

Su Yang expanded the thirty-plus replies.

Flying Roast Suckling Pig: "A hundred yuan for one person isn't expensive? Where we live, two people can eat hotpot for just sixty yuan!"

Maqian2008: "@Flying Roast Suckling Pig: Nonsense. I spent 450 for two people in XX and still wasn't full. In comparison, Rongcheng is practically a charity!"

Flying Roast Suckling Pig: "@Maqian2008: That's a high-end hotpot restaurant..."

Han Xiaoqin: "@Flying Roast Suckling Pig: Around Feida Plaza, this price is already very reasonable!"

Su Yang looked at the third comment.

Righteous Dating: "I didn't expect to see this video right after eating at Jiuxiang. The service at Jiuxiang is truly great. When I finished eating and left, the hostess even bowed to me and welcomed me to come again... I felt like I had just walked out of a high-end club!"

Su Yang expanded the replies, and unsurprisingly, the thread had gone off-topic!

Some were asking if the hostess was pretty.

Some were asking for the address of the high-end club.

In short, it was quite entertaining.

After finishing breakfast, Ma Ran followed the navigation and brought Su Yang to the BBD dealership.

There, the BBD staff held a car delivery ceremony for Su Yang.

As they pulled back the blue curtain and he saw the imposing exterior of the U8 Black Warrior, Su Yang couldn't help but nod.

The car body was glossy black, and the side profile was square and rugged.

The headlights and grille featured a unique "Ding" shaped contour, delivering a powerful visual impact.

At 1.9 meters tall, over 5 meters long, and over 2 meters wide, it looked more massive than the vast majority of SUVs, giving off a strong sense of intimidation!

It was like a beast waiting to hunt, ready to pounce at any moment.

"It's truly beautiful!"

Ma Ran murmured as he stroked the U8's oracle-bone-script "Electricity" emblem.

"It is indeed beautiful!"

Su Yang had to admit that; he quite liked the emblem too.

He was just a sucker for aesthetics.

If the car hadn't been beautiful enough, he definitely wouldn't have placed the order!

As for the interior of the U8, Su Yang was also very satisfied.

Not to mention the various luxury interiors, what he was most satisfied with was the spacious room inside the car.

Su Yang was a tall guy; sitting in the back seat of Ma Ran's car, he couldn't quite stretch out.

It was just that the air conditioning vents in that car were in a weird spot!

Because they arrived early enough, with the help of the staff, Su Yang completed all the paperwork that same day and even received a green license plate.

To be honest, this green license plate didn't look very good.

But it was very useful; in Rongcheng, it wasn't restricted by license plate numbers!

"Boss, are you sure you can do this?"

On the bustling streets of Rongcheng, the U8—a powerful beast that looked incredibly imposing, packed 880 kilowatts of power, and could hit 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds—was crawling at a speed of 31 km/h!

"Of course I can!" Su Yang said in a low voice, eyes locked on the road. "The sales lady taught me on the practice course, and she even praised me for learning quickly!"

Su Yang sat in the driver's seat, his body stiff and leaning forward, his eyes vigilantly scanning the surrounding road conditions.

You'd think he was on a battlefield if you didn't know better!

He was just missing a rifle!

Ma Ran asked in a low voice, "Isn't this a bit too slow?"

"According to Article 45 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, on roads without a center line, the speed limit on urban roads is 30 km/h. Uh... I think I'm driving too fast!"

Reducing the speed to 29 km/h, Su Yang said quite proudly:

"I've been doing my homework and reviewing the traffic rules properly these past two days!"

Ma Ran glanced at the electronic rearview mirror. "But it seems like we're holding up the cars behind us!"

"My speed is definitely not the problem; they are the ones with the problem!" Su Yang said dismissively. "Besides, with such a big 'Intern' sticker on the back of my car, they surely can see it."

This... Ma Ran couldn't find a single fault in that logic.

He had heard that Su Yang got his driver's license three years ago and hadn't really driven much since.

Seeing Su Yang's extremely rusty performance on the practice course, Ma Ran couldn't rest easy and decided to personally escort his boss home.

As for his own car, it was still parked at the BBD dealership.

Once he dropped Su Yang off at home, he would take a taxi to go get it.

"Hey handsome, wanna add me on wechat?"

A white sedan drove alongside Su Yang's U8.

Ma Ran leaned forward and turned his head to look; it was two young women.

However, Su Yang didn't even glance at them.

He kept that same stiff, leaning-forward posture, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

Serious and focused!

The two young women probably thought Su Yang hadn't heard them, so they shouted again:

"Hey handsome in the U8, add me on wechat!"

Su Yang waved his left hand impatiently and lectured them without turning his head:

"Watch the road properly! Look ahead!"

He was just one step away from saying "Don't bother me!"

After saying this, he quickly pulled his left hand back to steady the steering wheel.

As if the steering wheel would spin away if it left his left hand!

Seeing the white car drive away unwillingly, Ma Ran finally couldn't hold back his laughter.

"What are you laughing at?"

Su Yang asked, puzzled.

"Boss, you're too dense when it comes to romance!"

"No, I'm driving seriously!"

"I understand! I understand!"

Ma Ran could understand; after all, his boss was still a novice driver who had just hit the road, so it was normal to be overly nervous.

He used to be similar, terrified of scraping the car or hitting someone.

He saw Su Yang quickly wipe his palms on his pants before hurriedly grabbing the steering wheel again.

He pulled at Su Yang's hand, which was gripping the steering wheel.

It was stiff as a board, like a pair of pliers—it would be a miracle if his palms didn't sweat!

"Boss, don't grip the steering wheel so tightly. Relax a little!"

"Okay!"

"Don't be too nervous. You can lean back against the seat and relax..."
