The supercar's door opened gradually.
Like a startled rabbit, Lin Jiaojiao quickly leaped aside.
"Is this supercar really yours?"
Lin Jiaojiao gazed at Shen Hao, her expression fraught with alarm. She no longer scorned him.
Shen Hao casually jangled the car keys and remarked, "Isn't it obvious?"
Lin Jiaojiao shrank back, murmuring, "It's enough."
The onlookers nearby were rooted to the spot in disbelief.
They couldn't fathom that this young man truly owned the luxurious supercar!
"I really didn't see that coming!"
"Is he perhaps a wealthy heir?"
"He's so affluent, yet he dresses so modestly!"
"I assumed he was just there for a photo op, but he's the actual owner!"
Shen Hao paid no mind to the astonished crowd and slid into the supercar.
As the door closed behind him, he settled into the plush seat, a look of contentment in his eyes.
"Not bad at all. It's worthy of its 20-million-plus price tag!"
With his Proficiency level driving skills, Shen Hao had quickly become acquainted with the supercar.
The engine roared to life, its deep, powerful sound echoing in the ears of the bystanders.
"Clear the way, he's about to drive off!"
At the sound of the engine, the crowd swiftly parted, creating a path.
Shen Hao hit the gas, and the supercar, like a beast unleashed, roared off into the distance.
Lin Jiaojiao watched the supercar vanish and slapped herself hard.
"How foolish I've been!"
She was filled with regret.
Had she known about Shen Hao's wealth from the start, she would never have ridiculed him during their blind date.
They could have been a couple by now.
But she had overlooked one thing: even without her mockery, Shen Hao would never have taken a liking to her.
The Binhai Development Area had emerged as a burgeoning economic zone in Haihu City in recent years.

At its heart stood the Binhai Building, a 33-story A-grade office tower.
Many of Binhai District's and even Haihu City's renowned companies had their offices within this building.
Shen Hao's original job was as a security guard in this very building.
Inside the security room of an office building, a few on-duty guards were quietly chatting amongst themselves.
"Why is Piggy so fired up today?"
"Rumor has it that Piggy's wife had a fight with him."
"Is that so?"
"We're just collateral damage. Got a mouthful of abuse the moment we clocked in!" one guard lamented.
"Piggy sure is full of himself. He was even harassing the building staff a couple of days ago!"
"Well, Piggy's brother-in-law is the general manager of the property management here."
Zhu Dachang, better known as Piggy, was the head of the security department for the Binhai Building. With his brother-in-law as the general manager of the property, he frequently took advantage of his position to bully the staff.
In the security room, a young guard glanced at the clock and said with a hint of confusion, "Why hasn't Shen Hao shown up yet?"
The others shared his concern. "Exactly, Shen Hao is never late."
"He must have been held up by something."
"Let's give Shen Hao a hand when he arrives. If Piggy catches him being late, he'll lose half a month's bonus!"
"Don't invite trouble! Piggy was just looking for Shen Hao! If we cover for him, we'll be the ones to pay."
The room fell into an uneasy silence following that remark.
Suddenly, the roar of a sports car shattered the quiet. Moments later, the vehicle came to a smooth stop in front of the Binhai Building.
"Wow, that's one sleek sports car!" a guard exclaimed as he peered outside.
"Isn't that a LaFerrari? Worth over 20 million!"
"Who's in the driver's seat?"
"A supercar of this caliber is a rare sight at the Binhai Building!"
"That plate isn't registered with Binhai Building; it's not on our records!"
"Liu, go check it out. Once you've completed the registration, let it through."
A young guard named Liu pushed the door open and briskly approached the sports car. He came to a halt, saluting with formality, his eyes reflecting deep respect.
"Hello!"
"Please register here before entering the Binhai Building."
As the car window lowered, a figure came into view. In an instant, Liu's eyes bulged with utter astonishment.
"Shen Hao?"
"It's actually you!"
"Is this car yours? How can you afford such a luxurious supercar?"
Liu's astonished expression brought a slight smile to Shen Hao's face.
"Yes, the car is mine. It's just a mode of transportation, no need for such surprise!"
Regrettably, Shen Hao's attempt to downplay it did nothing to lessen the shock on Liu's face.
Liu gazed at Shen Hao, his mind momentarily blank.
The usually unassuming Shen Hao now owned such an impressive and luxurious supercar!

To Liu, Shen Hao was enigmatic and seemed out of reach!
It took a while before Liu exhaled deeply and regained his composure.
"Shen Hao, you really had me fooled!"
"I never imagined you were secretly wealthy!"
Liu's eyes were a mix of envy and admiration as he looked at Shen Hao.
Shen Hao dismissed the comment with a wave of his hand and a light laugh. "You're mistaken! I'm not just rich—I'm wealthy!"
He then stepped out of the supercar and tossed the keys to Liu.
Liu caught the keys with a nervous grip, looking at Shen Hao with uncertainty.
"Shen Hao, what do you mean by this?"
Shen Hao adjusted his collar and replied with a grin, "It's time for work. I need to head to the security room to change."
"Could you park the car for me?
Liu, looking uneasy, responded, "Shen Hao, this car is too valuable."
Shen Hao just chuckled and waved his hand dismissively. "What's there to worry about? If the car gets damaged, you won't have to pay for it!"
"Go on!"
Grasping the car key, Liu's face lit up with excitement.
"Shen Hao, I'll go park the car now!"
With that, Liu hopped into the supercar, whispering to himself, "Driving such a luxurious supercar even once makes my life complete!"
Watching Liu drive off, Shen Hao smiled and shook his head before heading to the security duty room.
Inside, the security guards all stared in disbelief as Shen Hao entered.
"What's gotten into all of you?"
Shen Hao noticed the stunned expressions around him and couldn't resist asking, "What's with the daze, everyone?"
An older security guard, clearly astonished, managed to say, "Shen Hao, was that supercar yours?"
With a nonchalant nod, Shen Hao replied, "Yeah, it's mine. Is it really that surprising?"
The security guard sighed internally. "Shen Hao, we're talking about a supercar worth tens of millions, not a bike from a bike-sharing service!"
Shen Hao's lips curled into a smile as he responded, "Aren't both a supercar and a bicycle just means of transportation? To me, there's no real difference."
Shen Hao wasn't wrong. He was connected to the Life Winner System. Supercars like that would be just one of the many he'd own in the future!
