Chapter 201: Going to Shunde

However, buying furniture proved to be a bit of a hassle.

Li Xiao drove around and casually visited a few furniture stores in Yangcheng City, but he wasn’t satisfied with any of them. Either their selection was too limited, or the styles were too old-fashioned.

Soon, he thought of a place.

Not only did that place have a ton of great food, but it also had a considerable number of furniture stores.

Plus, the furniture stores there were basically all located on the same street.

Even if one store didn’t have what he wanted, it was very convenient to just visit a few more.

And this place wasn’t far from Yangcheng—it was Shunde.

To be honest, even though the two places weren’t far apart, Li Xiao didn’t feel like driving himself.

He had originally thought about asking Huang Zhiyuan and the other two, but considering they had been skipping a lot of classes recently, he quickly dismissed the idea.

He didn’t really care about the graduation certificate or what he was learning in school.

But just because he didn’t care didn’t mean the others could afford to feel the same way. He didn’t want to negatively affect their futures for his own sake.

Soon, a second choice appeared in his mind.

This person was, without a doubt, Zhou Shishi. His little assistant was quite reliable.

Even though Zhou Shishi was a woman, her driving skills were excellent. More importantly, she was hardworking and never complained. Plus, she could offer some useful opinions when it was time to pick out furniture.

Li Xiao took out his phone and dialed her number. The phone only rang twice before it was answered.

“Hey, Zhou Shishi, are you busy with anything in the next couple of days?”

Hearing Li Xiao’s question, Zhou Shishi immediately realized her boss must have another task for her.

“No, Boss. Is there something you need me to do?”

Li Xiao didn’t hide anything and got straight to the point:

“I just bought a villa a few days ago, and I just had a renovation company come over to handle things. It’ll take them a few days to finish.”

“I was thinking of taking advantage of this free time while they’re renovating to go to Shunde and buy some new furniture.”

“If you’re free in the next couple of days, come be my driver and also help me figure out which furniture looks best.”

Hearing Li Xiao’s request, Zhou Shishi only hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

“No problem, I’m free these days.”

“When would you like to leave, Boss? And for how many days?”

Li Xiao thought for a moment.

“It’s a bit late today. Let’s go tomorrow. We’ll leave at 9:00 AM tomorrow morning.”

“I’ll drive over to pick you up. If things go smoothly, we’ll make it a day trip. If not, we might spend two or three days there choosing, so pack a couple of extra outfits.”

“Look up some decent hotels in the area and book two rooms. It’ll just be the two of us on this trip.”

“Oh, right. Since there’s still time today, help me look up some well-regarded furniture stores in Shunde, as well as good places to eat nearby.”

Of course, Zhou Shishi readily agreed to this small request.

The call ended.

Zhou Shishi immediately leaped up from her small pink bed.

She muttered to herself under her breath,

‘Two rooms… just the two of us, alone?’

‘Could it be… no, no, I’m definitely overthinking this.’

She quickly packed her things, preparing for the next day’s trip.

Early the next morning, Li Xiao drove to Zhou Shishi’s place, arriving right on time.

Zhou Shishi was already packed and ready to go, with all the items she’d prepared for the trip.

But when the bright yellow 911 came into view, her eyes instantly lit up.

It wasn’t just men who loved sports cars; women did too.

Especially a convertible sports car with such a cool design, and the color of this limited-edition 911 was incredibly eye-catching on its own.

However, when she saw Li Xiao get out of the driver’s seat, she was completely stunned.

Li Xiao looked at his little assistant, who was still standing there in a daze, and couldn’t figure out why.

He took her suitcase, placed it in the 911’s front trunk, and turned to find his little assistant still spaced out. He couldn’t help but say with a sigh,

“Snap out of it. Get in, we’re leaving.”

Hearing Li Xiao’s call, Zhou Shishi finally tore her eyes away from the sports car.

She pointed a finger at the 911 in front of them and asked uncertainly,

“Wait… Boss, you… want me to drive this car???”

Li Xiao nodded, a bit baffled.

“Yeah, is there a problem?”

But as soon as the words left his mouth, he remembered how Huang Zhiyuan had acted yesterday.

When he first tried to test drive the car, he didn’t even dare to press the ignition button.

Ordinary people have a natural fear of expensive supercars—a fear born from the price tag.

Li Xiao waved his hand dismissively.

“Alright, stop dawdling.”

“It’s just a sports car that costs a little over a million, right?”

“You’re my assistant. Don’t act like you’ve never seen anything nice.”

“Forget a car worth over a million. If you keep up the good work, I’ll get you a sports car worth several million and let you show it off for a few days.”

Zhou Shishi resisted the urge to retort.

A car worth over a million might be nothing to her boss, but to her, it was the definition of a luxury vehicle.

With her current salary of just over 10,000 a month, it would take her ten years to earn that much money.

“I… this… I’ve never driven one before. If I scratch it, then…”

Li Xiao waved his hand dismissively.

“This car has a 10 million third-party insurance policy.”

“Even if you scratch it, the insurance company will cover it. What are you so worried about?”

“Alright, hurry up and get in. If we delay any longer, it’ll be past lunchtime by the time we get there.”

After Li Xiao urged her on again, Zhou Shishi finally, and reluctantly, got in.

However, once she sat in the driver’s seat of the 911 and saw the understated yet luxurious interior of the sports car, her nervousness was instantly replaced by excitement.

Zhou Shishi carefully adjusted the seat and mirrors, making sure everything was set for optimal driving.

Li Xiao sat relaxed in the passenger seat, offering a few pointers here and there, which gradually helped Zhou Shishi to relax.

“Don’t be nervous. Just pretend you’re driving a regular car. The 911 is a sports car, but its handling is excellent, so it’s very easy to get the hang of.”

Li Xiao’s voice was very calm.

Zhou Shishi took a deep breath, slowly pressed the accelerator, and the 911 started up briskly, pulling smoothly out of the parking lot.

As the car picked up speed, Zhou Shishi could feel the 911’s immense power and superb handling, and her mood grew increasingly excited.

Li Xiao’s sports car turned heads as it drove through the city streets.

As she grew more familiar with the 911, Zhou Shishi slowly increased her speed, and the car sped off toward Shunde.

They arrived in Shunde close to 12:00 PM. Instead of heading straight to a furniture store, the two of them went to a restaurant she had noted down.
