166: Chapter 166 In Danger
Zhang Wei listened with great interest, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
Seeing this, the manager secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He opened the driver's door and continued, "Mr. Zhang, take a look at the interior. The Revuelto's brand-new dashboard and central control screen integrate the latest driving assistance systems. Whether you are driving in the City Name or cruising at high speeds, you can enjoy extremely high safety and convenience. It truly lets you experience the joy brought by technology."
"How is it, Mr. Zhang?" the manager asked cautiously.
Zhang Wei nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad."
Only then did the manager completely relax. He signaled, and the young women immediately gathered around, holding champagne and ribbons, enthusiastically singing. The atmosphere instantly became cheerful.
After Zhang Wei completed the relevant procedures, he prepared to drive the new car away. Liu Haorui said excitedly from the side, "Old Zhang, let's go for a spin!"
Zhang Wei smiled and agreed. The two sat in the car. Zhang Wei skillfully controlled the steering wheel, and the car shot out like an arrow from a bow.
"Wow, this speed is amazing!" Liu Haorui shouted excitedly, his eyes fixed on the rapidly receding scenery.
"Old Zhang, just a year ago we were laborers riding shared bikes. Who would have thought that a year later you'd be driving a sports car?" Liu Haorui sighed, a hint of delight in his eyes.
Zhang Wei nodded, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Old Liu, no rush. Let's steadily earn a few small targets first."
A sly look flashed in Liu Haorui's eyes, and he said with ill intent, "Old Zhang, I have an idea, hehe."
Zhang Wei glanced at him and laughed, "What mischief are you up to now, kid?"
"Hehe, you'll know later." Liu Haorui smiled mysteriously and said no more.
An hour later, the car stopped downstairs from Liu Haorui's former company. Looking at the familiar office building, Liu Haorui couldn't help but feel emotional. This was once the place where he struggled; those days were still vivid in his memory.
"Delivery driver, where are you? I don't see anyone in a pink shirt." Zhao Le held his phone, searching for the delivery person.
In the distance, a figure wearing a pink shirt appeared in Zhao Le's line of sight, holding a takeout bag, standing next to a sapphire blue supercar. That person was Liu Haorui.
"Oh, isn't this Little Liu? What, did you leave our company and can't find a job, so you're delivering food now?" Zhao Le recognized Liu Haorui, his tone laced with sarcasm and disdain. "Heh heh heh, our company is still hiring. If you're willing, I can recommend you. Probationary period is 1000 yuan, permanent position is 2500. Although it's not much, it's more respectable than delivering food, and you won't have to brave the wind and rain."
Although a long time had passed, Zhao Le's words instantly ignited the anger in Liu Haorui's heart, but he maintained a calm expression and smiled slightly: "Manager Zhao, you are truly kind."
Zhao Le thought Liu Haorui was desperate and became even more smug: "How about it, consider it?"
Liu Haorui nodded and deliberately pretended to hesitate: "I'll think about it again."
Seeing this, Zhao Le couldn't help but secretly mock him. He casually took the takeout and turned to leave. However, just as he took a step, Liu Haorui's voice suddenly rang out behind him: "Manager Zhao, is delivering food really that shameful? Everyone earns money through their own skills; who is inherently nobler than the other? Why don't you take a look at this car."
Zhao Le's steps paused, and his heart trembled slightly. He subconsciously turned his head to look. That sapphire blue lamborghini shone brilliantly under the sun, looking exceptionally eye-catching.
"This car... is yours?" Zhao Le asked in disbelief, his tone mixed with shock and unconcealed suspicion.
Liu Haorui smiled slightly, walked calmly to the car, and gently pressed the remote key. The door opened in response. He elegantly sat in the driver's seat and skillfully started the engine. Instantly, a deep and powerful roar erupted from the engine, shaking the ground slightly.
Zhao Le felt his legs go weak and he collapsed onto the ground involuntarily.
"Hahaha, Old Zhang, that felt so satisfying. Zhao Le, that guy, relied on being a department manager to oppress me, making me work overtime every day, not to mention running errands for all his relatives. He has his day too, awesome! Haha." Liu Haorui laughed loudly, his depression completely swept away.
Zhang Wei looked at Zhao Le's miserable state and also felt quite satisfied. "Alright, Old Liu, stop laughing. Let's go back." The two then returned to Jiangnan Garden contentedly.
Zhang Wei had rushed back from Hainan to Shenghai that morning, and in the afternoon, he successfully picked up the new car he had long desired. That sapphire blue sports car gave him a surge of satisfaction. In the evening, he returned to the complex and methodically completed the parking procedures, finally bringing a close to the busy day.
Returning home, Zhang Wei quickly washed up. He lay lazily on the bed, playing with his phone.
At this moment, the hands slowly pointed to midnight. The night was as dark as ink, silent and still.
"Ding—" A crisp notification sound broke the silence of the night. The system prompt read: "The daily intelligence has been updated. Please check it yourself, Host."
Current Update Area: Shenghai City

Affected by the overall international environment this year, gold has performed brilliantly among various assets, with a cumulative increase exceeding 20% for the year, setting a new historical high. Local conflicts have not ceased, and gold is expected to remain strong within the next three months.

In the Toy City Name on the second floor of Century Mall in Binjiang District, there is a box of My Little Pony cards on the shelf to the left of the entrance, containing a card of Pinkie Pie worth 1,500 yuan. The card box number is: XMBL-20***.
Zhang Wei lay on the bed, his mind constantly reviewing the three pieces of intelligence from the day. He usually didn't pay much attention to international affairs, and he had heard a lot about the surge in gold prices.
Zhang Wei remembered when he was dating Lin Wanting, one Valentine's Day, he made a list, checked many platform recommendations, and consulted friends before finally choosing a gold bracelet as a gift for her. When Lin Wanting received the gift, she didn't look very happy.
She said with a look of disdain, "Zhang Wei, who wears gold these days? It's so tacky. Why isn't it a Louis Vuitton bag? If I wear this bracelet out, my girlfriends will laugh at me."
At that time, the price of gold was 450 yuan per gram. Zhang Wei remembered eating instant noodles for several months just for that bracelet. Zhang Wei picked up his phone and checked today's gold price. Good heavens, the price had already risen to 700 yuan per gram. According to the system, the price of gold would continue to rise in the future. This gold market could allow him to make a big profit.
As for the third piece of intelligence, he had no concept of My Little Pony cards. This should be a type of card similar to star player cards, right?
The name 'card' suggested it was for little girls and children. He was worth hundreds of millions now, so this interesting piece of intelligence could be handed over to Liu Haorui to handle. Although this guy was usually careless, his efficiency in handling matters was reliable.
