Chapter 467: What? A gold-plated Lamborghini for free???
Chen Hong.
An ordinary laborer.
He had just quit his job the previous year; the job paid poorly, involved many miscellaneous tasks, and the boss was as foolish as an idiot, so he quit in anger.
Now, after the New Year, he's still lounging at home.
Work?
Don't panic, we'll talk after the 15th of the year.
At this moment he was lazily lying on the sofa, his fingers mechanically scrolling through Douyin.
The living room echoed with the clinking of dishes from his mother washing dishes in the kitchen; since quitting before the New Year, this life of idling and waiting to die had already lasted about half a month.
"All you know is to play with your phone! You don't even look for work!" his mother's voice drifted from the kitchen.
Chen Hong pursed his lips, pretending not to hear.
All his thoughts now are focused on the premiere of Speed and Passion 2 three days from now.
He got lucky and snatched a ticket, then showed it off in the group chat for a long time.
Yesterday, some idiot even private messaged him asking if he'd sell it for five hundred bucks; huh, is he the kind of person who lacks that much money?
Of course, if you offered a few thousand, he might just agree.
There are still three days until the premiere of Speed and Passion 2.
He couldn't wait any longer.
While scrolling Douyin, Chen Hong's finger suddenly stopped.
An aerial video caught his attention.
The entire downtown Riyadh's skyscrapers had their façades replaced with huge posters of Speed and Passion 2.
Against the golden desert backdrop, Fan Di Sai Er's sports car leapt into the air, the visual effect explosive.
"Holy shit!" Chen Hong sprang up like a carp flipping.
The video panned, and that familiar man with a cloth on his head appeared.
Prince Salman!
Chen Hong quickly turned up the volume.
Earlier, when Speed and Passion 2 began filming, Prince Salman's videos had been all over Douyin.
Plus, he appears in the trailer, so Chen Hong recognizing him is normal.
"This film showcases a side of Saudi modernization." In the video, Prince Salman spoke fluent English, his eyes flashing with pride: "I and Director Lin Mo, we are good friends; this collaboration has been very pleasant!"
The scene switched to Riyadh streets, with all electronic billboards looping the trailer of Fast and Furious 2.
Even more outrageously, the taxi roof lights on the road were replaced with the movie's logo.
"To support this film, all cinemas nationwide in Saudi will be free during the premiere week!!!"
This..
This isn't even the half of it.
Next, Prince Salman's line directly left Chen Hong dumbfounded—not just him, but all netizens who saw this video on the Saudi Embassy in China Official Weibo were equally stunned.
As seen, at the video's end, Prince Salman stood beside a gold-plated Lamborghini: "Eighty percent of this film's scenes were shot in Saudi, showcasing our nation's modern visage."
Then, Prince Salman pointed at the Lamborghini beside him: "This custom-made supercar will be given as a raffle prize to lucky viewers who attend the premiere event!"
And then.
The screen filled with scrolling comments.
"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!!!"
"What the heck???"
"Ah? This car? Just given away???"
"Can we still make it to Saudi to sign up???"
"I'm fucking... I'm dumbfounded!"
"Give... give what? A golden sports car?"
"I'm gone!!!"
"Damn!"
"???"
"..."
Seeing this, Chen Hong was so startled he jumped up from the sofa: "Holy shit!!!"
"What the hell are you yelling about, you little bastard?" Dad's slipper sounded as it approached.
Chen Hong thrust his phone in front of his dad: "Dad, look! The Saudi prince is giving away a gold-plated sports car! Just to support Lin Mo's film!"
Dad adjusted his reading glasses, stared at the screen for three seconds: "This car... how much does it cost?"
"At least eight figures! In US dollars!" Chen Hong gestured wildly, excited: "The key is it's being given away in a raffle! I have to post this in the group right away!"
He hurriedly posted the video to the group.
And tagged everyone.
"Holy shit, you guys saw this video, right? This is truly the epitome of a tycoon!!!"
As expected.
The video hit the hot search list.
Not hitting hot search would be unacceptable—it's just too awesome!
Even People's Daily and CCTV forwarded this video.

A gold‑plated Lamborghini!
Random draw, giveaway to a lucky viewer!!!
This damn...
Who can resist this temptation!
After this video was released, no one even had to think; tickets to fly to Saudi sold out!
Such a huge piece of news.
How could Lin Mo not know?
His WeChat messages had already exploded.
He didn't even bring his phone.
At this moment, Lin Mo is video‑calling Prince Salman.
"My friend, did you see the news?" Prince Salman said with a smile in Chinese, patting the glittering supercar beside him, "This is a gift prepared especially for you."
Lin Mo massaged his temples: "Your generosity is too big; my phone here is about to explode from calls."
"That's just the beginning," Prince Salman shrugged, "If I weren't afraid of stealing the movie's spotlight, I'd even stage the film title in the desert with a thousand supercars."
While the two were talking, engine roars suddenly came from the video feed; a few supercars whooshed by, each sprayed with the Fast and Furious 2 livery.
The next second, Prince Salman pointed the camera at the streets of Riyadh.
"Lin, see? I had every car in Riyadh sprayed with the Fast and Furious 2 livery!!!"
Hearing that, Lin Mo gave a helpless laugh: "You're putting pressure on me; if the movie flops, I'm afraid I won't even dare go to Saudi to see you!"
"Hahaha!" Prince Salman roared with laughter, "Lin, you are the greatest director I've ever met. I believe in you. By the way, I have a surprise for you on premiere day."
"No, no, no, that's already exaggerated enough; whatever surprise you plan next, I'm afraid domestic netizens' hearts can't take it," Lin Mo hurriedly said.
Indeed.
Just this gold‑plated Lamborghini, free giveaway..
That's already shocking enough.
Prince Salman smiled, "Trust me, you'll love this surprise. There are actually two cars: one for the draw, the other already loaded onto a plane as a little gift for you."
The premiere of Speed and Passion 2 is being prepared in Saudi Arabia.
All the teams, including the creators, have already arrived.
Lin Mo's afternoon flight departs, and he'll arrive tomorrow.
Originally, yeah.
He didn't want to go.
But...
Prince Salman made such a big production; he can't refuse to go.
Later, over the phone, Lin Mo and Prince Salman chatted a few more words.
"Lin, when you get to Saudi tomorrow, you'll be amazed, trust me!"
Surprise...
Lin Mo can already picture that scene.
With Prince Salman's touch...
After hanging up.
Song Wanwan, excited, ran up to him, grabbed his arm and shook it hard: "Bro, I also want to go, can you take me? ~"
This girl has been running home every day these past two days.
Every day when he comes, he sees this girl.
Lin Mo, dizzy from being shaken, quickly held her shoulder: "Alright, alright, I'll take you, stop shaking."
"Ahhh, that's great, sister‑in‑law, I can go with you all!!!"
She wants to shoot a vlog, then post it on TikTok for her classmates to see...
Just thinking about it makes me excited!
