Chapter 20

Yang Kang smiled bitterly, thinking about how he could buy daily necessities with his meager salary. To save money to pay back Zhou Bomin, he tried to save wherever he could.

"Boss, I can just get by with my life as it is," Yang Kang said.

"Nonsense!" Boss Shao said, "What do you mean by just getting by? From now on, you have to listen to me. I am your boss, and I have the right and duty to care about your life."

Hearing this, Yang Kang couldn't help but laugh out loud—Boss Shao was indeed an interesting person.

"Boss, I don't have money to buy anything," Yang Kang said with a smile.

"I'll buy it!" Boss Shao said, "I have money! Come on, let's go shopping." Saying this, he pulled Yang Kang out without any further ado.

"Boss, what about the shop?" Yang Kang asked as he watched Boss Shao lock the door and pull him out.

"Do you think anyone will come to the shop on such a day?" Boss Shao asked.

Yang Kang looked up at the scorching sun, which was baking the earth. The antique street was almost melting, with no one in sight. How could there be any customers?

Boss Shao didn't care what he was thinking and directly pulled him to the underground parking lot, stuffing Yang Kang into a black Mercedes. "Can you drive?" he asked.

"Yes, I have a driver's license. Boss, do you want me to drive?" Yang Kang said. He had gotten his license right after high school. Back then, when Yang Chongxuan had money, he had bought him a Buick. Later, due to an incident, he had no choice but to sell the car.

"No need, just sit!" Boss Shao smiled, starting the car. "What kind of car do you like?"

"Uh?" Yang Kang was a bit stunned, not knowing how to answer. What kind of car did he like? Like all men, he naturally loved luxury cars—Mercedes, BMW, Bentley, Porsche, Ferrari, etc. He liked them all, but he didn't have a particular favorite.

"How about a Lamborghini?" Boss Shao asked again when he didn't answer.

"Boss, that's a sports car, and it's not comfortable to sit in," Yang Kang shook his head. He didn't like speeding and found the Lamborghini uncomfortable due to its low body.

"If you want comfort, Mercedes and Rolls-Royce are both good, but aren't they a bit old-fashioned? They look more suitable for someone my age," Boss Shao was a bit confused, thinking Yang Kang would like Lamborghini and Ferrari.

Yang Kang felt a bit lost and asked, "Boss, are you thinking of changing your car? This Mercedes is great, no need to change!" He was being honest. The Mercedes looked low-key but was very comfortable and stable. Plus, it was brand new, so there was no need to change.

"I'm asking what kind of car you like, not if I want to change my car," Boss Shao said, "As your boss, I need to understand your preferences."

Yang Kang was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and smiled, "Let me think? When we were in school, my classmates and I discussed various luxury cars. Most of them are just okay; I don't have a particular favorite. For me, as long as it has four wheels that can roll, it's fine."

Boss Shao couldn't help but touch his chin and said, "There must be one that looks more appealing to you?"

"This?" Yang Kang smiled, "More appealing? I quite like the Porsche Cayenne and the Maserati Quattroporte."

As he said this, Yang Kang suddenly felt a pang of pain. His father had once said that after selling the painting "Tokyo Wind and Flowers," he would buy him a Porsche Cayenne and a small villa with a large garden for his marriage after graduation.

But... ideals were so beautiful, and reality was so cruel. His father had passed away, and he couldn't even afford an electric scooter, let alone a Cayenne.

"Should I buy you a Cayenne? What color do you like?" At this moment, Boss Shao's voice broke through his thoughts, making Yang Kang a bit dazed.

"What?" Yang Kang suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "Boss, what did you say?"

"I said, I'll buy you a work car. What color do you like? Should I have Porsche send you the models and color cards to choose from?" Boss Shao asked.

"No, no!" Yang Kang hurriedly said, "Are you kidding? A Cayenne? The cheapest one starts at 700,000 to 800,000, and that's just the base model. Boss, I can't afford the maintenance and repairs, don't joke around."

"I'm just looking for an excuse to buy another car for myself. You could have cooperated a bit," Boss Shao couldn't help but laugh.

Hearing this, Yang Kang also couldn't help but laugh. Many rich people seemed to be like this. He had been suspicious about why Boss Shao suddenly suggested buying him a work car, but now he understood—it was just an excuse.

"Boss, if you have money, you can buy as many cars as you want," Yang Kang said with a smile.

"I always need an excuse to prove I'm not a wasteful rich person," Boss Shao laughed happily.

Just as Yang Kang was about to speak, his phone rang. The ringtone was quite strange, making him pause. Boss Shao, however, looked annoyed, took out his phone, and looked even more annoyed. Then he answered the call.

Yang Kang finally understood why the ringtone sounded so strange—it was the default ringtone of an iPhone, not a popular song.

Although it was possible to download popular songs as ringtones on an iPhone, it was a technical task. Without jailbreaking, ordinary people probably couldn't manage it.

It seemed Boss Shao couldn't manage it either.

"Damn it!" Boss Shao cursed after listening to a few words from the caller. Then he spoke in a language Yang Kang had never heard before. After about three minutes, Boss Shao hung up, his face dark, and threw the phone aside, stepping hard on the gas. The high-performance Mercedes shot forward.

"Boss..." Due to the inertia, Yang Kang's body leaned back heavily, and he couldn't help but call out, "Slow down... slow down!"

Boss Shao then slowed down the car and sighed, "Akang, your work car will have to be postponed. I have to go abroad for a trip. Let's discuss the work car when I come back."

"No problem!" Yang Kang smiled, "Boss, how long will you be abroad?"

"At least five or six months. I have to wait until the matters there are settled before I can return," Boss Shao sighed, "While I'm away, I'll leave Ruyi Workshop to you."

"Boss, don't worry," Yang Kang hurriedly said. Five or six months, almost half a year, no wonder Boss Shao looked so unhappy. "When are you leaving?"

"I'll book a flight now. It's probably too late for tomorrow, so it will be the day after tomorrow!" Boss Shao shook his head, feeling very unhappy.
