Chapter 1598 - 598: Taking My Best Bro to a Business KTV!
"Over ten million!?"
Liu Yang had secretly guessed that Zhang Jingdong might have made a couple of million, considering this Land Rover costs a million or two, but he never expected Zhang Jingdong to have earned over ten million.
At this moment, his gaze towards Zhang Jingdong was almost as if he were looking at an alien.
Especially since this is 2004, over ten million feels like an astronomical number.
Zhang Jingdong looked at his good brother’s stunned expression and couldn’t help but recall the saying: you fear your brother living poorly, yet fear your brother driving a Land Rover.
But he knew Liu Yang wasn’t the envious type.
He immediately said, "Come on, given our relationship, don’t be surprised. As the saying goes, when in fortune, don’t forget each other. I’m successful now, and it’s like we’re both successful."
"Back in the day, we could share hardships; now, we can share happiness. Get in the car, tonight let’s really have some fun!"
When Liu Yang heard this, he felt a warmth in his heart: "...Mm."
The two got into the car.
Liu Yang looked at the luxurious interior of the car and couldn’t help but marvel, "This car is just amazing, it truly deserves to be the Land Rover Range Rover!"
Zhang Jingdong said, "Have you got your driver’s license?"
Liu Yang paused, then shook his head, "No."
"I’ll drive the car under your building, you go upstairs and get it. You’re driving tonight."
Liu Yang quickly waved his hands, "No, no... ever since I got my license, I haven’t driven much. This car is so expensive... let’s forget about it."
"The more you fear driving, the less you’ll drive. Once you’re comfortable with this car, you won’t be intimidated by any car in the future."
Liu Yang nodded in agreement but soon shook his head again, "No, your car is too expensive. I’ll practice with my uncle’s car another day."
"Come on, my car is your car, and it has insurance. What are you afraid of?"
He said and swiftly started the car, driving to Building No. 2 where Liu Yang’s house was.
"Go upstairs and get your driver’s license!"
Seeing Zhang Jingdong had said this much, Liu Yang had to nod: "...Mm."
Saying this, he got out of the car and quickly went upstairs.
Soon, he was back down with his driver’s license, and Zhang Jingdong deftly got out of the car.
After getting back in the car, Liu Yang touched the steering wheel, admiring once again, "Wow, this car is truly amazing! Even the steering wheel feels better than the ones at the driving school!"
Zhang Jingdong took the opportunity to say, "After graduation, come find me in Jiangdu. Within a year, I guarantee you’ll have your own Land Rover."
A flicker of excitement flashed in Liu Yang’s eyes: "...Really?"
"I’ll fool anyone, but not you!"
"Alright, I’ll follow you!"
Seeing his agreement, Zhang Jingdong promptly said, "Let’s go!"
"Okay!"
Liu Yang had just put the car in gear when he suddenly remembered something, "The internet café is just across the street, isn’t driving over a bit of a waste?"
Zhang Jingdong remained calm, "We’re driving this car, who rushes to an internet café? Let’s go to an upscale place first."
"Upscale place?" Liu Yang was again a bit puzzled, "Where?"
Zhang Jingdong said meaningfully, "Remember that time when you just graduated, and you said when you make it, you’d take me there and let me choose any girl I want? We’re going there now!"
Liu Yang’s face immediately lit up with excitement, "You mean... Rose Garden?"
Rose Garden is the only place in their county with a business KTV. Back then, when their blood was boiling, their biggest dream was to one day have fun at Rose Garden.
Zhang Jingdong nodded, "Just tell me if you want to go?"
Liu Yang hesitated slightly, but eventually nodded, "...I want to!"
Zhang Jingdong burst into laughter, "Then let’s go, tonight there’s no budget limit, let’s have a great time and fulfill our childhood dreams!"
Liu Yang was thoroughly fired up now, "Alright!"
With that, he expertly maneuvered the car, speeding away from their original location.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the Rose Garden on Front Street.
Getting out of the car, Zhang Jingdong glanced at the large sign above.
Honestly, each time he saw this sign as a kid, it inspired countless beautiful fantasies. But now...
He realized this place was pretty average.
But since it’s about fulfilling their brotherly dream from back then, he decided to endure it.
He turned and took a look at Liu Yang.
This guy’s expression was so full of excitement that he looked like he was about to get married and enter the bridal chamber.
Zhang Jingdong couldn’t help but tease, "Admit it, have you fallen in love at school over the past semester?"
"...Yes... Oh no, no... No."
"Is that really an answer?"
Liu Yang had to confess, "I did have one, but we broke up in less than two months."
"Alright then."
At this moment, Liu Yang took a look through the revolving door at the lobby inside, then said, "Jingdong, should we first find someone to ask how things work here, so we’re not embarrassed later?"
Zhang Jingdong knew it was Liu Yang’s first time in such a place, so he was a bit nervous.
He promptly said, "Brother, remember, our pockets are full. In places like this, just walk in, do as you please, whatever makes you happy, let’s go!"
He strode straight in.
Watching Zhang Jingdong’s bold demeanor, Liu Yang was suddenly moved and quickly followed suit.
Once inside the private room, Zhang Jingdong casually took out his wallet, pulled out 1,000 yuan, and handed it to the manager: "This is for your consumption. Please bring all the prettiest girls here!"
The manager took a look at the money Zhang Jingdong handed over and instantly showed a face full of joy.
This is primarily because they’re in a county, and generally, even when customers tip, they give at most one or two hundred. But the young boss in front of him just handed out 1,000, wow, this seems like a rich kid from a big city.
He quickly nodded, "Okay, okay... Please wait a moment, I’ll go right now!"
After saying this, he took the money and walked away quickly.
Shortly after, he brought eight beauties into the private room.
Zhang Jingdong took a quick glance and felt their makeup might not be as sophisticated as those night queens in Jiangdu, but they had a pure charm.
Plus, their ages seemed around twentyish, with fresh faces devoid of world-weary experiences.
Zhang Jingdong couldn’t help but think in this era without live streaming, the quality of women in nightspots is indeed high!
He then turned to look at Liu Yang, only to find his brother’s eyes completely fixed!
