This is a bustling downtown area, and a food street to boot.

Normally, no one would ever drive a car in here; dealing with the crowds and traffic jams is simply asking for trouble.

Yet right now, someone had not only driven in, but was revbing their engine so loudly that it drew the gaze of everyone along the entire street.

It turned out to be a yellow Lamborghini SUV!

Upon seeing such a vehicle, many people swallowed back the curses that had already reached their lips.

In everyone's eyes, driving a Lamborghini SUV gave someone the right to "throw their weight around" in a bustling commercial district.

If you disagree, why don't you try driving one here yourself?

There was no disdain or disgust, only envy and jealousy. Some things you are simply not born with, and you may never have them for the rest of your life.

"It's a Lamborghini Urus!" Zhang Ya's eyes lit up instantly as she rattled off the details like a connoisseur. "Judging by the condition, it looks brand new. It must have just been picked up, worth at least three million upward!"

Although Zhang Ya's family background was decent, she could never afford to drive a car like this. She could only gaze at it longingly, sighing, "I wonder which young rich heir that is. How wonderful would it be if he took a fancy to me..."

As the car drove down the street, people on both sides actively stepped aside, unwilling to offend such a car owner.

The usually crowded downtown street unexpectedly became smooth and unobstructed.

The Lamborghini finally came to a stop right in front of the outdoor food stall where Luo Feifei and her friends were sitting.

"Hey, we've got a shot!" Zhang Ya quickly lowered the neckline of her shirt and whispered, "Looks like he's going to eat right here near us. Girls, don't let this opportunity slip away. Pull out all the stops! Whichever one of us makes it big in the future, don't forget your sisters..."

The other girls were left between laughter and tears, shaking their heads one by one. "Zhang Ya, you should just go for it. We don't have that kind of luck..."

"You really are hopeless!" Zhang Ya said speechlessly. "Feifei, you're the prettiest, so your chances are the highest. Hurry up and take off your coat, bare your shoulders!"

Luo Feifei also shook her head. "Count me out, I can't pull that off."

"You..."

At that moment, the door of the Lamborghini opened, and a dashing young man stepped out.

Zhang Ya stopped talking and pulled her neckline down even lower, pretending to look nonchalant, while the corner of her eye remained fixed on the young man.

In his thirties—a bit on the older side, perhaps—but quite handsome and so wealthy, it was entirely acceptable.

It's you! Hurry over and ask for WeChat!

Tang Long walked into the food stall, swept his eyes around, spotted Luo Feifei, and immediately strode toward her.

At that split second, Zhang Ya's heart nearly jumped out of her chest.

Oh god, he's actually walking toward me! Could today really be the day my life completely turns around?!

Seeing Tang Long getting closer and closer, Zhang Ya blushed, her ears burning, and her heart pounding wildly. In her mind, she had already rehearsed a million times how to gracefully yet coyly hand over her WeChat contact.

Finally, Tang Long stopped right beside their table.

Coyness be damned, how could one let such a great opportunity pass by?

With a hardening of her resolve, Zhang Ya fished out her phone, ready to pull up her WeChat QR code.

"Director Tang, why are you here?" Luo Feifei stood up with a look of astonishment.

"Feifei, I'm here to find you," Tang Long said earnestly.

"Looking for me? What for?" Luo Feifei looked completely bewildered.

"Following a corporate meeting held just moments ago, the company decided that you have made too many contributions to the group over the past year. Therefore, taking advantage of your birthday, we are rewarding you with a car, an apartment, and a salary raise to one hundred thousand a month! The car is that Lamborghini outside, and here are the keys; the apartment is a river-view suite by the Huai River, one hundred and eighty square meters, and here are those keys; as for your salary increase, this is the official corporate memo I signed and issued myself."

Tang Long placed the three items one by one in front of Luo Feifei.

The girls at the table were all struck dumb, and Zhang Ya quietly tucked her phone back away.

Luo Feifei stared blankly for a long moment before saying, "Director Tang, hasn't the company not even started turning a profit yet..."

"True, we haven't started turning a profit yet, but your contributions have been simply too massive, securing two major orders back-to-back. It would be unjust not to reward you! Since it happens to be around your birthday, just accept them. This is an internal company decision, and everyone voted unanimously to pass it!" Tang Long said earnestly, even carrying a hint of pleading in his tone, because this was Lin Qi's command, and Tang Long had to execute it immediately!

Luo Feifei looked at the items on the table, then glanced at Tang Long beside her, and asked doubtfully, "But my birthday is still half a year away..."

"Ahem, celebrating half a year early is completely normal..."

"Is it normal?"

"Normal, perfectly normal! Well, I'll be off then, I won't disturb you and your friends' dinner any longer!"

Tang Long turned around and walked straight out of the food stall.

He had driven here, but now he would have to hail a cab to get back.

As soon as he stepped outside, he immediately sent a text message to Lin Qi: "Young Master, everything you requested has been handled."

Earlier inside the food stall, he had only had eyes for Luo Feifei and hadn't noticed Lin Qi or Chai Wuyan.

Lin Qi, however, had seen everything crystal clear and replied: "Very good. Thank you for your hard work."
