Chapter 36: Let's Compare

Wang Daokun’s newly opened restaurant was in the development zone of Jin Ling City.

The development zone was quite far from the city center, and it was sparsely populated. Ye Chen was a bit puzzled as to why Wang Daokun chose to open the restaurant here.

However, he heard from Xiao Churan that several large manufacturing enterprises were going to move into the development zone recently, including big companies like Foxconn, so it would soon become bustling.

Therefore, Wang Daokun opening the restaurant here now was actually quite wise.

Wang Daokun’s restaurant was on the side of a wide new street. It looked quite large, with two floors.

The restaurant was named Yuelai Restaurant, and it looked like it had a bit of artistic conception.

When Ye Chen drove the car to the entrance of the restaurant, there was already a row of cars parked there. Several people were standing in front of a gold BMW sedan, smoking and chatting.

Ye Chen recognized these people; they were all classmates from his former university class, but these people had no friendship with him.

Ye Chen still remembered the leader of the group, Wang Tengfei. He was a relatively famous rich second-generation kid in the class at the time and had always had ideas about Xiao Churan, but Xiao Churan didn't buy it at all.

At this time, Wang Tengfei was leaning against the gold BMW, accepting the flattery of his classmates. Several male classmates were commenting on his newly bought BMW sedan, exclaiming, "Brother Fei, you really are a winner in life. How long has it been since graduation, and you’re already driving a BMW! It looks like a BMW 540, right? Top-of-the-line 5 Series?"

Wang Tengfei laughed and said, "Oh, 540, it’s nothing more than a commuter car worth seven or eight hundred thousand. It’s nothing."

"Damn! 540? This is the most expensive imported car in the 5 Series!"

"Hey, I want to buy a BMW 1 Series worth two hundred thousand, and I can't even save up for the down payment. Compared to Brother Fei, I’m really far behind!"

"Brother Fei, your car’s power must be very fierce, right?"

Wang Tengfei said with a smile, "It’s alright, it’s alright. The power is relatively strong, and I don't usually meet any opponents on the street."

"So awesome! If only I could have a BMW sedan. My girlfriend complains every day that I can't afford a car. It’s so annoying!"

At this time, someone with sharp eyes saw another BMW coming and said in surprise, "Oh, is this BMW also one of our classmates'?"

"Oh my god! Isn't that the stinky loser Ye Chen?"

"And Xiao Churan is sitting in the passenger seat! Damn, this guy who eats soft rice is actually driving a BMW too. He must have benefited from Xiao Churan!"

Wang Tengfei also saw Ye Chen in the car, his expression somewhat gloomy as he said, "So it’s this loser! Damn, he really has good luck!"

At this time, someone asked, "Hey, what series BMW is he driving?"

It just so happened that Ye Chen drove the car nearby and then reversed into a parking space. Wang Tengfei took one look at the 520 tail badge and immediately laughed with disdain, "Tch, 520, the lowest beggar version of the 5 Series. Only losers who puff up their faces to look fat drive this model!"

A person next to him immediately nodded and said, "Brother Fei, yours is the top-of-the-line 5 Series, and his is the cheapest 5 Series. Compared to you, it’s quite a difference, right?"

Wang Tengfei snorted through his nose, "I could buy two of his with mine!"

"Brother Fei is still the best!"

At this time, Ye Chen parked the car, and Xiao Churan and Dong Ruolin got out first.

Several boys immediately stared straight, swarming over to greet them, "Oh, the two golden flowers of our class are here together!"

Xiao Churan and Dong Ruolin greeted everyone politely. Wang Tengfei looked at Xiao Churan, who was now even more beautiful and moving, and felt extremely unbalanced in his heart.

Damn, why?

When he was in university, he pursued Xiao Churan desperately, but she didn't pay any attention to him at all.

Now, she had actually married a live-in son-in-law, a loser who ate soft rice!

God must be blind!

Thinking of this, he sneered and ridiculed, "Oh Ye Chen, your treatment after marrying into Churan’s family seems pretty good! You’re even driving a BMW! Did Churan’s family buy it for you? You really are a role model for our generation of men taking shortcuts!"

Xiao Churan felt a bit displeased when she heard this. Dong Ruolin, standing to the side, immediately said, "Wang Tengfei, you’re mistaken. This car wasn't bought by Churan’s family; Ye Chen bought it himself!"

"Oh!" Wang Tengfei curled his lips, "Impressive, you’re even driving a BMW 5 Series!"

After saying this, he deliberately provoked Ye Chen, "I say Ye Chen, there aren't many cars in this development zone, and the main road at the entrance is wide and straight. Why don't we drive up and compare who is faster, how about that?"

Ye Chen frowned, feeling a bit angry at Wang Tengfei.

Why are you looking for trouble with me? I have no friendship or conflict with you.

Besides, you want to compare who is faster with me? This is a BMW 760, the most expensive and fastest BMW model. If you compare with me, it makes it look like I’m bullying a child.

Wang Tengfei thought he was afraid. He immediately ridiculed, "Oh, I say Ye Chen, why are you still as cowardly as you were in university! What are you afraid of in a comparison? Are you reluctant to spend a little gas money? At worst, I’ll just add a tank of gas for you."

Dong Ruolin protested with some dissatisfaction, "Hey, Wang Tengfei, what do you mean? Your car is a BMW 540, and Ye Chen’s is a 520. The power is several grades apart. Do you think it’s fair to compare who runs faster?"

Wang Tengfei shrugged his shoulders, "Driving mainly depends on skill! A good car doesn't necessarily mean it runs fast; it also depends on skill and courage. I don't know if Ye Chen has the guts to compare with me? If you’re cowardly and afraid, then forget it. Anyway, Ye Chen has always been unable to get on the stage, as everyone knows."

Several people next to him immediately echoed, "Exactly, if you’re afraid, just say it. It’s not embarrassing."

Ye Chen laughed instead of getting angry and said, "Wang Tengfei, a comparison is possible, but we can't just compare with our mouths, right? It’s best to have some stakes, otherwise, how boring would it be?"

"Alright!" Wang Tengfei was worried that Ye Chen wouldn't take the bait. Suddenly hearing him mention stakes, he immediately concluded that he was courting death and blurted out, "How about this, whoever loses has to kneel on the ground and kowtow to the other to admit their mistake, what do you think?"

Ye Chen shook his head, "We’re all adults, don't play such childish games."

At this time, Wang Daokun, wearing a suit, walked out holding a large plate of firecrackers. Seeing Ye Chen had arrived, he immediately stepped forward excitedly and said, "Oh Ye Chen, you’re here!"

Ye Chen nodded, smiled slightly at him, and said, "Congratulations on your new store opening, Daokun!"

Wang Daokun laughed and said, "Thanks, brother!"

Wang Tengfei said coldly at this time, "Ye Chen, don't change the subject. Tell me, what kind of stakes do you think are appropriate?"

Wang Daokun asked curiously, "What’s wrong? What are you guys doing?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly, looked at the large plate of firecrackers in his arms, and asked him, "Daokun, how many bangs are these firecrackers?"

"Thirty thousand bangs!" Wang Daokun laughed, "This plate of firecrackers isn't cheap, all red, over six hundred a plate!"

Ye Chen nodded and said to Wang Tengfei, "How about this, let’s compare. Whoever loses has to put this plate of firecrackers in their car and set them off. What do you think?" ===== CHAPTER 37 =====
