Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 101: Whether someone is an experienced driver or not can only be determined by a "test

The 4.5-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine let out a deep and powerful roar, and then the revs climbed rapidly, bursting out a high-pitched and exciting howl!

The pure, unmodified sound seemed to carry a life of its own, reverberating and echoing throughout the exhibition hall, impacting everyone's eardrums and heart.

For men.

This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and passionate musical pieces in the world.

Sports cars will always be an enduring source of romance for men.

Although I didn't get to drive the LaFerrari I'd been longing for right away.

But 458 is still acceptable.

Ye Fan skillfully shifted the gear lever behind the right side of the steering wheel, put the gear in first gear, and lightly pressed the accelerator, the engine emitting a low roar of anticipation.

He turned his head and gestured with his chin towards Xie Wanning, who was still standing by the red carpet, seemingly not yet fully recovered from the day's dramatic events:

"What are you standing there for? Get in the car."

Xie Wanning seemed to awaken from a dream.

He quickly jogged around the front of the car, opened the passenger door, and carefully got in.

The expensive, full-grain leather seats have a delicate feel, and the interior is filled with an intoxicating leather scent and the lingering warmth of the engine.

Ye Fan stepped on the gas, and the car roared as it drove out of the Ferrari Center gates.

In the passenger seat, Xie Wanning gripped the door handle tightly. The powerful acceleration and deafening roar made her heart race, and her blood seemed to boil.

But what unsettled her even more was the mysterious, wealthy, and decisive young man beside her who seemed to treat her differently.

Her mind was still in a state of high-speed operation yet also a state of confusion and bewilderment.

All of this felt like a bizarre and fantastical dream.

The car drove for a distance along the bustling street.

He glanced at the somewhat reserved girl beside him and casually said:

"It's getting late, and I've been busy all afternoon. How about we grab a bite to eat together? I just arrived in Nanjing and don't know anyone here. Perfect timing, could you recommend a place for me, and maybe even act as my guide?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Wanning quickly waved her hand, her tone filled with sincere gratitude:

"I should be the one treating you to dinner; you helped me close two big deals today."

He was about to continue speaking, but when he opened his mouth, no words came out.

She suddenly realized that from the moment she agreed to get on the bus, the power seemed to have slipped from her hands.

She was well aware of Ye Fan's attitude; by agreeing to come out with him, she had implicitly accepted his decision.

Forget it, let's take a step by step.

Ye Fan nodded:

"That works too. I'm not really familiar with Nanjing, so you decide where to eat. Tell me, where do you want to go?"

Xie Wanning thought for a moment and suggested:

"How about we go eat hot pot? I know a really authentic Sichuan hot pot place."

She chose hot pot because she felt it had a more relaxed, homey atmosphere, and the lively atmosphere of hot pot could alleviate the awkwardness of being alone together.

Ye Fan shrugged indifferently:

"Sure, I don't have any dietary restrictions. I'll have hot pot."

.....

Ten minutes later.

Tianfu Hot Pot.

The brand-new Ferrari came to a precise stop in front of the hot pot restaurant with a smooth and slightly flamboyant drift.

This immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers.

Even in a big city like Nanjing, Ferraris are a rare sight.

Ye Fan calmly opened the car door and got out.

Xie Wanning seemed a little flustered, and followed quickly with her head down.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two entered the bustling hot pot restaurant, filled with the aroma of spicy and savory food.

Guided by the waiter, they entered a relatively quiet private room, isolated from the noise of the lobby outside.

Xie Wanning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Tianfu hotpot was not as popular as it had been in its previous life.

In the past, there were all sorts of short video recommendations and product recommendations, and many people even traveled a long distance to a place just to try the small shops that had been recommended to them.

However, thanks to its authentic broth flavor, high-quality ingredients, and relatively refined decor, it has already built a good reputation among local diners and become a popular hot pot restaurant.

Through the slightly ajar door of the private room, you could still see that there were quite a few people sitting in the lobby.

As soon as she sat down, Xie Wanning couldn't help but turn to the side, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Ye Fan, and sincerely exclaimed:

"I didn't expect you to be such a good driver at such a young age! You're even more of a pro than an experienced driver!"

Ye Fan's lips curled into a playful smile. He leaned forward slightly, his gaze, tinged with mischief, landing on her face.

"Whether someone is a true veteran driver or not... you can't just say it; you have to 'test drive' them yourself to know."

Xie Wanning blushed instantly; she certainly understood the implied meaning in Ye Fan's words.

Surprisingly, she didn't become flustered and embarrassed like she had at the Ferrari Center.

After spending these few hours together, she seemed to have figured out some of Ye Fan's temperament.

He's a very warm and friendly person, but he seems to enjoy "driving".

This realization actually calmed her down a bit, and even gave rise to a subtle understanding of "seeing through things but not saying them out loud".

She glared at him reproachfully, but didn't argue. She just lowered her head, smiled, and took a sip of water as a cover-up.

Ye Fan stopped teasing her and naturally picked up the tablet menu to order.

He didn't ask Xie Wanning what she wanted to eat.

Instead, she swiped her fingers across the screen quickly, skillfully selecting various signature dishes and top-quality ingredients—snowflake beef, handmade shrimp paste, tripe, beef aorta... and even a few expensive seafood dishes that Xie Wanning had only seen in menu pictures and had never dared to try.

the strange thing is.

Xie Wanning, on the contrary, felt that there was nothing wrong with what he was doing. In fact, she thought Ye Fan was more considerate.

This is a typical case of admiring the strong.

When the other party possesses overwhelming strength and confidence, their "autocratic" behavior can also be interpreted as charisma.

If a penniless young man did this, he would probably be labeled a "male chauvinist" or a "chauvinist" by now.

Reality is often so double-standard.

As each dish was served...

The steaming hot nine-compartment hot pot was filled with glistening red butter, and its rich aroma instantly filled the air.

One after another, exquisite dishes were served.

Through the rising steam, the two enjoyed their meal.

After a few bites of spicy and fragrant tripe, Xie Wanning's courage seemed to have grown considerably from the spiciness.

She took small breaths and couldn't help but sigh:

"You've really shown me what a truly wealthy person is like today."

"So this is what real wealth is like. When you see something you like or want, you don't even blink before swiping your card and it's done. You can buy a car worth tens of millions just like that."

She sighed softly, her eyes filled with complex emotions—envy, longing, and a hint of self-mockery.

"It feels like money is just a number in your hands. It's a completely different world from people like us who are careful with their money."

Having spent most of the day with Ye Fan, she felt as if she had been forcibly dragged into a bizarre golden vortex, witnessing firsthand the ultimate freedom that wealth could bring.

My previous image of "rich people" now seems so pale and naive.

As Ye Fan listened to her heartfelt reflections, he calmly picked up a chewy Chaoshan beef ball, blew on it, and put it in his mouth.

He chewed, a faint smile playing on his lips, watching Xie Wanning's cheeks flush slightly from the spiciness, making her even more radiant, and suddenly asked:

"So, would you like to live that kind of life?"

Xie Wanning spoke almost without hesitation:

"Of course! Who wouldn't want to live a wealthy life?"

Her answer was almost bluntly honest:

"Especially in a place like Nanjing, only with money can you feel like the master of this city, able to go wherever you want and buy whatever you want. No money?"

She shook her head, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes:

"If you don't have money, even if you stand in the most bustling Xinjiekou, you'll feel like an outsider who doesn't fit in, as if the whole city is rejecting you."

Ye Fan smiled and said:

"So, I'll say it again: with your qualifications, living that kind of life wouldn't be too difficult."

She understood the deeper meaning in Ye Fan's eyes, and her hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly.

The blush on her face seemed to deepen, and her eyes flickered as she avoided Ye Fan's direct gaze.

Ye Fan didn't continue, saying that some things only needed to be mentioned briefly.
