"Haha... Just a piece of junk car, worth over 1.2 million!"
Zhang Jiaming laughed smugly.
"Wow! So salty, are we? Over a million and you still call it junk!"
"Yeah, what does that make our cars worth just over a hundred thousand?"
"Tell me about it. I have an Audi worth over three hundred thousand, and it's still on a three-year installment plan. Sigh... Comparing ourselves to others is so frustrating."
"Alright, alright! We all have different needs, so naturally, not everyone can be the same. I mainly need this for showing properties to clients. If I serve them well, I can sell more houses, right?"
Though he said this, anyone could see the smugness at the corner of Zhang Jiaming's mouth.
At that moment, Zhang Jiaming turned to Su Ming and asked, "So, Su Ming, everyone has shared, but you haven't. What kind of car do you drive? You're married now, so you must have some assets, right?"
With Zhang Jiaming's words, everyone's attention shifted to Su Ming.
"Ugh... I can't avoid it, I didn't want to show off!"
Su Ming sighed inwardly. He felt like there were always haters trying to bring him down.
*Ding! Choice triggered!*
*Option 1: Humiliate Zhang Jiaming, reward: Special standalone villa in Cloud Joy Estate.*
*Option 2: Keep it low-key, reward: Title: A Prime Minister's Belly Can Hold a Boat.*
"System, I choose option one!"
Su Ming was initially annoyed, but the system's new choice made his annoyance vanish. He wished such choices would come more often.
After making his choice, Su Ming sat up straight.
"Cough! It's nothing much, I just got a new 911. The car is nice, but I think the key is kinda ugly, don't you think, Yixue?"
As he spoke, Su Ming took out the sleek, silver-white key with perfect lines and winked at Lin Yixue.
Lin Yixue's eyes widened, revealing a hint of surprise. But she quickly composed herself and said softly, "No, I think the key design is perfect!"
"Is that so? If Yixue likes it, I'll try to like it too!"
Su Ming sighed in resignation.
However, this action from Su Ming left everyone in silence.
They had all been in the workforce for several years and, while they might not know everything, they knew enough.
A Porsche 911 costs over three million, a sum that many people would work their whole lives to earn.
Zhang Jiaming's face darkened, and he muttered jealously, "Showing off, who knows if it's even yours?"
Zhang Jiaming didn't believe Su Ming could afford a three-million-dollar car.
"Hey! Mr. Su, I didn't expect to see you here!"
At that moment, a waiter suddenly approached Su Ming.
"Uh, do I know you...?"
Su Ming looked at the waiter, somewhat puzzled.
"Haha... Mr. Su, you may not recognize me, but I'm a waiter here. I was thinking of finding a way to contact you, and I never expected to run into you today!"
The waiter smiled and explained.
"Oh! Is there something you need?"
"Well, Mr. Su, I recorded what happened yesterday and posted it on Douyin. Many netizens saw it and are curious about you. They've been tagging me for updates. Could you answer one question for me, please? It won't take long, I promise!"
The waiter looked at him with eager anticipation.
"Oh, sure, go ahead!"
"Thank you, Mr. Su!"
The waiter quickly took out his phone and started recording.
"Mr. Su, let's begin!"
After Su Ming nodded, the waiter quickly asked, "Mr. Su, did you send three million in cash via courier yesterday as a surprise for your fiancée... uh, for Ms. Li Na?"
Everyone's mouths dropped open at the waiter's words.
Three million in cash, sent by courier? Who wouldn't be worried about losing it?
For a moment, everyone thought it sounded far-fetched.
"Yes, if nothing went wrong, that was the plan," Su Ming thought for a moment and nodded.
"What a pity, Ms. Li Na didn't have that good fortune. Dear friends, that's the update for the video. Don't forget to like and follow me!"
"Thank you, Mr. Su. I'll leave you to your business, no more interruptions!"
After finishing the recording, the waiter thanked him and hurried away, clearly intending to upload the video.
"Wait, what's your Douyin account? I want to follow you!"
Just as the waiter was about to leave, Zhang Jiaming called out to him.
"Oh, sure!"
The waiter quickly took out his phone, and Zhang Jiaming followed him in a few taps.
"Class monitor, give me a push, I'm curious about what happened at Su Ming's wedding yesterday!"
"Me too!"
Everyone followed the waiter's Douyin account.
Once they opened it, they saw a series of videos, starting from the initial blessing videos.
But the more they watched, the more their expressions changed.
"Damn, who is this person, jacking up the price? Even on the day of the wedding, they increased the dowry!"
"Man, if I were marrying her, I'd beat her until she was paralyzed!"
As the videos continued, their expressions became even more complex.
"Xiangzi, how did it feel to carry three million? I'm so jealous!"
Li Gao looked at the video's main character beside him.
"Not much, just pretty heavy!"
Gao Xiang replied indifferently, though he knew how excited he had been inside.
"Damn! I suspect you're flexing, but I have no proof!"
Li Gao gave him a thumbs-up.
"Damn, hidden boss! Su Ming, you're incredible!"
"Shit, I thought you were flexing, but you're really impressive, Su Ming, bowing to you, boss!"
"I was skeptical about Su Ming owning a 911, but now I believe it!"
"Someone who can send three million in cash via courier, what's a 911 to him? Piece of cake!"
"Salute to Boss Su Ming!"
The classmates immediately turned into adoring fans, showering him with praise.
Zhang Jiaming's face turned green. He never expected that his attempt to show off and put down Su Ming would end up boosting Su Ming instead.
*Ding! Congratulations, host, your choice is complete. You have obtained a special standalone villa in Cloud Joy Estate. All documents are stored in the villa. The smart recognition system is installed, and the Smart Cloud app is on your phone. You can check the villa's status anytime!*
"Smart recognition, quite advanced, no need for keys!"
Su Ming couldn't help but marvel, reflecting on how his previous poverty had limited his imagination of a wealthy life.
"The extra dowry was well worth it!"
At that moment, Lin Yixue beside him spoke. Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Su Ming.
"Exactly!"
Su Ming looked back, and they shared a smile.
