Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Lu Feng looked toward the security guard standing at the gate, deciding to go ask them since they were more familiar with the area and should have a way.

Seeing Lu Feng approach, the guard at the door immediately smiled and saluted Lu Feng: "Mr. Lu, hello, do you need any help?"

"I'd like to ask something." Lu Feng smiled and nodded at the guard, then asked: "How do we get to the city from here?"

Hearing this, the guard enthusiastically replied: "Sir, drive north along the road at the gate, and you should reach the city in about seven or eight kilometers."

Hearing the guard's answer, Lu Feng couldn't help but complain in his heart.

If I had a car, would I still need to ask you?

I'm not illiterate when it comes to navigation.

Lu Feng smiled somewhat awkwardly and said to the guard: "I don't have a car. Is there another way to get to the city from here, like... the bus?"

"The bus?"

The guard was stunned and couldn't help but look at Lu Feng in surprise.

However, he didn't say anything, stood in place thinking for a while, and said with an uncertain tone: "There seems to be a bus stop near here, but it's two kilometers away, and walking there would take half an hour."

Hearing the guard's answer, Lu Feng felt somewhat helpless, but there was no other way for now.

After thanking the guard, he slowly walked toward the bus stop the guard had mentioned.

Watching Lu Feng's departing back, the guard couldn't help but feel curious about this new owner.

Someone who can live here still has to take the bus to get around?

Is this owner really this down-to-earth?

But before he could think too much, several car horn sounds came from inside the villa district gate.

The guard came back to his senses and returned to his post to start working.

Lu Feng walked on the road under the scorching sun for a while, only feeling sticky all over.

I really want to go back to the villa and soak comfortably in the jacuzzi.

Just as he was thinking, a braking sound suddenly came from beside him.

A black BMW stopped beside Lu Feng, the window slowly rolled down, and a middle-aged man sitting in the driver's seat shouted at Lu Feng somewhat surprised: "Boss Lu, what a coincidence?"

Lu Feng stopped his steps, sized up this middle-aged man driving a BMW, feeling he looked somewhat familiar, but couldn't remember for a while: "You are?"

"My name is Zhao Zhenhui. I was eating fried noodles at Boss Lu's shop today; I'm a regular customer of your shop!" Zhao Zhenhui got out of the car, walked up to Lu Feng, and said enthusiastically.

Hearing that he was a diner from his own shop, Lu Feng also smiled on his face.

He also remembered who Zhao Zhenhui was; after all, among the diners who had come to his shop, there weren't many middle-aged men with such temperament like Zhao Zhenhui.

"Mr. Zhao, do you also live here?"

Lu Feng saw that Zhao Zhenhui's car seemed to have come from the direction of Yunding Huating, so he asked with a smile.

Zhao Zhenhui smiled self-deprecatingly: "I can't afford to live in this place; I came here today to discuss cooperation with a business partner, and didn't expect to run into Boss Lu just as I came out..."

Zhao Zhenhui had spoken halfway when he suddenly realized something, his eyes widened instantly, sized up Lu Feng from top to bottom, and asked in great shock: "Boss Lu, you just said... also? You don't actually live here, do you?"

Lu Feng scratched his head somewhat awkwardly: "Yes, I just moved here."

Zhao Zhenhui stared blankly at Lu Feng, shocked and speechless for a long time.

The villas in Yunding Huating cost tens of millions each, and those who live here are either rich or noble; who would have thought that someone running a restaurant on Food Street actually lives here.

Zhao Zhenhui was stunned for a good while, and the look in his eyes when looking at Lu Feng had changed.

Those who can live in Yunding Huating shouldn't have to worry about food and drink for their whole lives, yet Lu Feng still runs a restaurant.

No wonder their business hours are set so unexpectedly; it turns out the boss doesn't care about making money at all, purely a personal hobby, finding something to do for himself!

The key is that people are already so rich, yet they are still so low-key, unlike some bosses I know.

And Lu Feng doesn't have a bit of the airs of a rich person, truly admirable.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhenhui said with a face full of admiration: "Boss Lu, you are truly accomplished at a young age, hiding your talents!"

Lu Feng smiled and didn't say anything.

But in his heart he couldn't help but thank the system again; without the system, he might still be working miserably in some company now.

Zhao Zhenhui looked at the sweat on Lu Feng's face, then at the gate of Yunding Huating, and asked: "Boss Lu, where are you preparing to go?"

Lu Feng pointed ahead and said: "I plan to go back to Food Street first, then prepare to take the bus ahead."

"Huh?"

Zhao Zhenhui felt his worldview was somewhat refreshed.

Someone living in a villa worth tens of millions actually has to take the bus when going out?

Is it this low-carbon and environmentally friendly?

"Boss Lu, why don't you drive?" Zhao Zhenhui couldn't help but ask in confusion.

Lu Feng scratched his head awkwardly: "I was busy with work before and had no time to get a driver's license; I'll buy a car after I get my license in a while."

Zhao Zhenhui nodded in sudden realization; this reason was indeed quite reasonable.

Seeing that Lu Feng's shop had so many customers every day, he must usually be very busy, so having no time to get a driver's license was also understandable.

But the fact was, Lu Feng indeed had no time to get a driver's license because he was busy, but that was when he was at his previous company.

His current time can be said to be very ample.

Lu Feng originally thought driving was a very troublesome thing, not to mention traffic jams, and parking spaces were also hard to find.

This time the system-rewarded villa was too far from the city, and only then did he have the plan to buy a car.

Lu Feng also planned to consult a driving school these couple of days and get his driver's license as soon as possible.

"Boss Lu, don't take the bus anymore. I'm heading back to the city center anyway, hop in, I'll give you a ride." Zhao Zhenhui looked at Lu Feng, pointed to the BMW parked to the side, and invited him sincerely.

"Is that convenient?" Lu Feng asked somewhat hesitantly.

Although he and Zhao Zhenhui were acquainted, they weren't close, and he didn't know if it was appropriate to ride in someone else's car like this.

"Boss Lu, don't stand on ceremony with me! I'm still counting on eating more delicious food at your shop in the future!" Zhao Zhenhui enthusiastically opened the car door and invited him again.

"Then thank you."

Faced with Zhao Zhenhui's warm invitation, Lu Feng couldn't very well refuse his kindness, so he smiled and nodded in agreement.

The BMW drove steadily toward the city center. Along the way, Zhao Zhenhui chatted enthusiastically with Lu Feng, while Lu Feng said relatively little, spending most of the time listening to Zhao Zhenhui talk.

Lu Feng also learned about Zhao Zhenhui's story of building his fortune from scratch, and couldn't help but admire him. That was what a true self-made man was.

Unlike Lu Feng, who came with his own cheat.

The BMW had been driving for about ten minutes when the traffic on the road gradually increased.

After entering the city center, Zhao Zhenhui didn't talk as much and began to focus on driving.

When the car reached the intersection two streets away from Food Street, and the light turned from red to green, Zhao Zhenhui lightly pressed the accelerator, and the car slowly pulled out of the intersection.

At that moment, a delivery rider on an electric scooter suddenly cut across from the side, moving quite fast.
