Lu Hao sat as the banker for three hours before leaving the table. When Yang Jian saw him, he was empty-handed.
"Brother Hao, did you lose all your money?"
"I lost all my cash before coming down, but I won over three million in total."
"Won over three million? What do you mean?"
Yang Jian didn't understand. How could he have won if he lost all his cash?
"Boss Ma lost six million, and it's all on us three. He also owes your brother Afeng another million, which I'll transfer to you tomorrow."
"Boss Ma lost that much? Where are they?"
"They've all left. It's fine, Boss Ma isn't short of money. Six million isn't a big deal for him. It's normal for him to win or lose tens of millions at once."
"They've all left? I was planning to treat them to a meal."
"Don't worry about them. They have things to do. Notify your sister and her classmates. We'll go to her school gate. I'll treat them to dinner tonight, and then we'll go to a hot spring."
Yang Jian didn't object to Lu Hao's suggestion. This trip was all about buying a car and having fun. Yang Rui and her friends were on holiday anyway, and Lu Hao wanted to thank them.
After greeting Li Jin, Biao Biao, and others, Yang Jian led Lu Yao and Lu Hao away from the casino and headed to the School of Finance and Economics.
When their Mercedes, Cayenne, and Camry were parked side by side at the school gate, they immediately attracted the attention of students coming and going.
"Wow, there's a legendary Mercedes 600 here, and a Cayenne too."
"This Camry is also nice. Most importantly, the beautiful girl driving it is stunning. She's probably not a student from our school."
"The two guys driving the Mercedes and Cayenne are also very handsome, especially the one driving the Cayenne. Not only is he young, but his physique is also top-notch."
Yang Jian hadn't expected to be surrounded by so many people. He also didn't expect two girls to walk straight up to him: "Handsome, can we take your new car for a spin? We can go anywhere you want."
This was a direct pickup line, and it stunned Yang Jian. Were college students this open nowadays?
"You want to go for a drive? I'll take you."
Lu Yao smiled and stood beside Yang Jian, linking her arm through his, looking provocatively at the two girls.
So they were taken, not trying to hit on girls. The two girls ran away looking embarrassed.
Lu Hao laughed heartily beside them, while Yang Jian felt a little uncomfortable.
Yang Rui and her friends clearly had to wait a while longer. Yang Jian suddenly remembered a past incident about placing a bottle of red tea on a car here and still didn't know what it meant, so he asked Lu Hao.
"Brother Hao, parking at the entrance of a university campus and placing a bottle of red tea on the car roof, do you know what that means?"
Lu Hao chuckled, "Since you know about this, don't you know what it means?"
Lu Yao immediately asked, "Have you experienced this? Hurry up and confess."
Yang Jian shook his head, "I really don't know. The other day I came here to pick up my sister for barbecue. While waiting, I casually placed a half-finished bottle of red tea on the hood. Unexpectedly, a girl suddenly got into the passenger seat and startled me."
Lu Yao became nervous, "And then?"
"Then I thought she mistook me for a freelance taxi driver, so I asked her where she was going. If it was on the way, I could give her a ride. But before she could answer, my sister and her friends arrived, and that girl ran off. My sister and her friends laughed about it the whole time, but they wouldn't tell me what it meant."
After Yang Jian finished speaking, Lu Yao was also in stitches.
Lu Hao came over and patted his shoulder, "Brother, although you're doing very well in the underworld and have a fearsome reputation, you're still pure at heart. You're truly a unique character."
"Brother Hao, stop playing coy. What does it mean?"
"It's a tactic used by some lecherous guys with a bit of money to pick up girls, or rather, to solicit prostitution. The target is female university students. Placing a bottle of red or green tea on the car roof signifies a demand. If a girl is willing, she picks up the bottle and gets in the car to negotiate a price.
Generally, red or green tea indicates a price of three hundred yuan. Drinks like Pocari Sweat or Red Bull indicate higher prices, ranging from six hundred, eight hundred, or even one thousand or two thousand, and the cars will be better."
After Lu Hao's explanation, Yang Jian suddenly realized, "No wonder that girl got into my car for no reason. So there's this unwritten rule."
Lu Yao laughed, "Brother Hao, it seems you're quite an experienced driver. You must have done this quite a bit, right?"
"No, I only saw it online. Would I do something so tasteless? Besides, my loyalty to my girlfriend is heaven-sent. I would never do anything to betray her."
"Tsk, only your girlfriend would believe that. You're so outstanding; there must be many admirers around you."
"Heaven knows, I'm not lying. I have to go abroad every month, precisely to prevent my relationship with my girlfriend from growing distant due to time and distance."
Yang Jian chuckled, "Brother Hao, your relationship comes at a great cost. Luckily, you're rich, otherwise, you'd go broke just from flying."
As the three were chatting, Yang Rui arrived with her classmates Song Bingbing, Zhang Zihan, and Tong Xiao.
Yang Rui had already met Lu Hao, so she introduced the three of them to him.
Lu Hao clasped his hands together, "Students, thank you for saving my sister and brother-in-law that night."
Song Bingbing was more generous, "Mr. Lu, you're too kind. Brother Jian did most of the work that night. We just assisted him with what we could. We really can't accept so much money that Rui Rui brought us."
Yang Rui searched her bag and stuffed the bank card into Lu Hao's hand, "Brother Hao, it's no use. They won't accept the money."
Lu Hao was very surprised, "I just wanted to express my gratitude. Are you all rich second-generation?"
"Brother Hao, this has nothing to do with family background. We don't accept rewards without earning them. What we did isn't worth this much money. If you really want to thank us, treat us to a big meal and offer us good job positions after we graduate."
"A big meal is a must, and it will be fulfilled immediately. As for jobs, it's still early. I heard you all plan to pursue postgraduate studies, so work is three years away. We'll talk about it then; I won't make empty promises now.
However, I hope that in your future lives, no matter what difficulties you encounter, even if your families can't resolve something, you can call me. I can't guarantee I can handle everything perfectly, but I certainly won't let you down."
As Lu Hao spoke, he handed each of them his business card and also recorded their phone numbers.
"Hey, Rui Rui, why isn't your boyfriend Ma Ming here?"
After handing out the business cards, Lu Hao realized he was missing one person. He knew from being at Yang Jian's house that Ma Ming was Yang Rui's boyfriend.
Yang Rui explained, "He's gone back to his hometown in the north with his parents and will return in a few days."
"Oh, doesn't he work at a securities company? Tell him that after the holiday, I'll bring some big clients for him to boost his performance."
Lu Hao intended to fully support these people who had helped his sister and brother-in-law. A drop of kindness must be repaid with a gushing spring.
