## Chapter 580: Hello, My Name is Ye Xiu
Zhao Song and his friends sat obediently around a table, staring intently at Ye Xiu, who was chatting and laughing with Liu Qiang. A few minutes later, a lackey ran over.
Zhao Song asked, "So, did you find out? Is that car really his?"
The lackey replied, "It should be."
Zhao Song glared, "What do you mean 'it should be'? How did you ask? What does that guy do for a living?"
The lackey said, "He drives for Didi."
Hmm???
Slap!
Zhao Song gave him a hard slap, his eyes filled with anger: How dare you deceive me like that?
The lackey looked pitiful, his eyes full of innocence, "It's true. I heard he's a Didi driver. He even picked up a passenger before coming here."
Zhao Song, seeing the lackey's genuine expression, fell into deep thought.
Really just a Didi driver? It didn't make sense! Who uses a billion-yuan Koenigsegg to drive for Didi? This was clearly a familiar trope, right? A rich second generation using a luxury car to impress girls.
Zhao Song mentally categorized Ye Xiu as a rich second generation. But then a friend nearby said, "Brother Song, do you think it's possible that the car is rented?"
Zhao Song instinctively raised his hand to slap him, but seeing it was a friend, he restrained himself and rolled his eyes, "Have you ever seen an ordinary person rent a Koenigsegg One:1? This car costs a billion yuan, and there are fewer than three in the entire country. To rent it would cost at least 200,000 yuan a day! Who would spend that kind of money?"
Though Zhao Song didn't believe it, another friend added, "Others might not, but wouldn't Liu Qiang?"
"Yes, Liu Qiang probably spent a lot to get together with Sister Li. Today is his big day, and it makes sense to hire someone to show off."
To be honest, this explanation made more sense to Zhao Song. Even though the car key came from Ye Xiu, Zhao Song was more inclined to believe Ye Xiu was just a prop.
After all, how could someone like Liu Qiang know such an impressive person? A billion-yuan car for a nobody's event? No way. Zhao Song believed Ye Xiu was just a hired hand.
Smacking his lips and stroking his chin, Zhao Song squinted, "Liu Qiang, you've got some deep tricks! If I weren't so clever, I might've been fooled. No wonder Sister Li fell for it; you've got some skills. But unfortunately, your connections are just so-so. No matter how you hire people to show off, they remain unremarkable. Today, I'll expose your act in front of everyone. I'll make sure you know what it's like to be publicly humiliated!"
One of his friends checked his phone and said, "Brother Song, Brother Wang is almost here."
"Good!" Zhao Song smiled, "Brother Wang doesn't like Liu Qiang. Let's pave the way for him by dealing with Liu Qiang's hired help. When Brother Wang arrives, he'll be pleased!"
Another friend chuckled, "As long as Brother Wang is happy, our companies' investment bids are in the bag!"
Their eyes brightened, firming their resolve. They needed to win over Brother Wang. While Zhao Song was their leader, Brother Wang was the true big shot they aimed to impress. If they could humiliate Liu Qiang, please Brother Wang, and enjoy themselves, it would be perfect!
Zhao Song waved his hand, and a lackey stood up, shouting, "Hey, Qiang, we know you love to save face, but you didn't need to hire a stand-in to fool everyone, did you?"
Liu Qiang, who was chatting with Ye Xiu, turned around, glaring, "Zhou Yueshan, what do you mean?"
Zhou Yueshan smirked, and another friend chimed in, "Qiang, don't be mad. My friend here is straightforward and says it like it is. Although his words might be harsh, there's truth in them. Your friend Ye Xiu is impressive, driving a billion-yuan Koenigsegg One:1!"
"Wow! A billion-yuan car? Who's so amazing?"
"Wow, my Brother Qiang knows such impressive people? That's incredible."
The surrounding people expressed their amazement.
The friend then said, "Yes, a billion-yuan car is impressive, but I heard he's a Didi driver?"
Before anyone could react, he added, "Oh, don't ask me. I just heard it outside."
Looking at Ye Xiu and Liu Qiang with mocking eyes, he sneered, "I heard a guy was driving a billion-yuan car, picking up passengers. He dropped one off at the Pangu Hotel. The passenger might be here now! Isn't that interesting?"
The guests began to chatter.
"Yeah, why would someone with a billion-yuan car drive for Didi?"
"You don't get it. Nowadays, many young people drive luxury cars for Didi to impress girls."
Seeing the conversation shift, Zhao Song added, "I heard the passenger Ye Xiu picked up was a man? If he's not impressing girls, is he...?"
The guests were stunned. Many women looked at Ye Xiu with complicated expressions. They had been thinking of approaching him, but now it seemed he had different interests...
Such a handsome guy... What a waste~
Seeing the misunderstanding, Ye Xiu clarified, "Everyone, don't get me wrong. I'm straight."
Instantly, the women's eyes sparkled again.
Zhao Song, seeing this, said, "Haha, Brother Ye, we didn't mean to imply anything. We just wanted you to clear things up. Now that you've explained, everyone understands."
Then he coldly asked, "So, you're really a Didi driver?"
It was a trap, waiting for Ye Xiu.
Everyone realized it.
If Ye Xiu drove for Didi to impress girls, why pick up a man? If not for that, why drive for Didi at all? Unless he needed the money.
Ye Xiu and Liu Qiang saw through it. Zhao Song wanted to imply that Ye Xiu, a Didi driver, couldn't afford such a luxury car. Smiling, Liu Qiang thought, Zhao Song, of all my friends, you had to pick on Brother Ye. You have no idea how embarrassing this will be for you.
Ye Xiu shrugged, "Yes, I told you. I'm a Didi driver."
"Brothers, did you hear that?" Zhao Song smirked.
His friends pretended to realize something, "Oh, a Didi driver! You really went through the trouble to rent a Koenigsegg and pretend to be a big shot for Liu Qiang. They say Didi drivers can do anything. Amazing!"
Everyone gave sarcastic thumbs-ups.
Zhao Song, shaking his wine glass and crossing his legs, asked, "A Didi driver couldn't rent such a luxury car. Liu Qiang must have paid for it, right? How much did you spend? 200,000? 500,000?"
His face was full of smug satisfaction. This was a perfect setup.
But Ye Xiu calmly said, "Sorry, although I drive for Didi, that car is indeed mine."
Zhao Song: ???
Looking at Ye Xiu with disdain, he thought, Still pretending at this point?
Zhao Song sneered, "Do you think if you deny it to the end, I can't do anything? Unfortunately, renting any luxury car is fine, but you shouldn't have rented the Koenigsegg One:1! As far as I know, there are only two in the entire country. One has been on display in Hainan for two years, unsold. The other is in Beijing, privately owned. If Liu Qiang managed to rent it, kudos to him. But such a rare car can't be used to show off; it will only lead to embarrassment. This car's scarcity is tied to the owner's identity and status. It's easy to find out who owns it. Just search online, and you'll know."
Zhao Song confidently waved to his lackey, "Found it?"
The lackey nodded, "Yes."
Zhao Song: "Tell him the owner's name."
Lackey: "Ye Xiu."
"Hahaha, did you hear? The owner's name is Ye... Xiu?"
Zhao Song's laughter froze.
Ye Xiu?
Sounded familiar.
His heart raced as he looked up, "What's your name?"
Ye Xiu smiled, "Hello, my name is Ye Xiu."
Zhao Song: ??????
Is this real?
He grabbed the lackey's phone, staring at the screen, unwilling to believe, "Which characters for your name?"
Ye Xiu: "Leaf from tree, and cultivate."
Gasp! Zhao Song took a deep breath. The characters matched exactly!
Could it really be the same person?
No way...
Zhao Song was stunned, and his lackey was also dumbfounded.
As they stood there in shock, a voice from the door brought them relief, "So what if it's him? A billion-yuan car is just a tool. I could buy ten of those easily. Small trick!"
Everyone turned to the door, ecstatic, "Brother Wang! You're finally here!"
A tall, handsome, high-status young man entered the room.
