Chapter 246 Gu Yuejia's Contrast
Chapter 246 Gu Yuejia's Contrast
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked quickly towards a low-key Porsche Panamera not far away.
She took out her keys from her bag, opened the trunk, pulled out a delicate shoe bag, and quickly changed into a pair of clean, crisp white flat sneakers.
After changing her shoes, she jogged back lightly and smiled brightly at Ye Fan: "I noticed this P1 when I parked earlier, and I was wondering whose car it was. I didn't expect it to be yours, Mr. Ye! What a coincidence."
Her words carried a perfectly measured hint of flattery and excitement.
Ye Fan smiled, said nothing more, opened the iconic upward-opening scissor door on the passenger side, and sat in the highly supportive racing seat.
Gu Yuejia took a deep breath, sat in the driver's seat, adjusted her posture and the rearview mirror, and gripped the uniquely designed steering wheel with her fair fingers.
She pressed the start button.
"Boom—Buzz!!!"
The deep, penetrating roar of the engine instantly shattered the tranquility of the underground garage, the exhaust note echoing between the concrete walls, a sound that was breathtaking.
As Gu Yuejia listened to the voice, a captivated smile appeared on her face: "It's this voice... it makes your soul tremble..."
She turned to look at Ye Fan, her eyes sparkling with excitement, a wild smile playing on her lips: "Mr. Ye, buckle up! Let's go!"
Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, and an ominous premonition arose within him.
My premonition will soon come true!
Sure enough, as soon as the McLaren P1 drove out of the underground garage and merged into the sparse traffic at midday, Gu Yuejia's originally elegant and reserved temperament vanished instantly!
A carefree smile curved her moist red lips. She glanced at the rearview mirror, confirmed a safe distance, and then slammed her right foot down on the accelerator without hesitation!
"Whoosh—!" The roar of the turbocharger suddenly rose!
The immense power erupted instantly, like being kicked hard, the powerful G-force pressing Ye Fan firmly against the back of the chair!
The car body, like a cheetah breaking free of its restraints, darted forward rapidly on the wide road!
"Whoosh! That's awesome!" Gu Yuejia couldn't help but cheer, feeling the ultimate thrill brought by the surging power. The accelerator under her foot seemed to be welded shut, and the speedometer needle jumped up happily.
Ye Fan gripped the handrail above the door frame tightly, feeling the strong push-back sensation brought by each rapid acceleration and the screeching of the tires when cornering, his stomach began to churn slightly.
He glanced sideways at the person next to him: This was no longer the gentle and intellectual career woman from before; she was clearly a wild and rebellious young woman immersed in speed and passion!
The contrast is so stark that it's astonishing.
......
Ten minutes later.
The car stopped in front of an elegant Western restaurant.
Gu Yuejia reluctantly turned off the engine, her fingers lingering on the steering wheel. She let out a long sigh before handing the keys back to Ye Fan, her eyes still gleaming with excitement: "As expected of one of the three legendary cars! The power response, the chassis feedback, the steering precision... amazing! It's just a pity we were in the city, so we couldn't unleash its full potential."
Ye Fan took the warm key, his face slightly pale, his stomach still churning.
He gave Gu Yuejia a deep look and finally understood why her family said they would break her legs if she dared to buy it.
If he had a daughter like that, he'd rather weld her to a wheelchair than break her legs! At least that way he could save her life!
Gu Yuejia got out of the car and resumed her elegant and composed demeanor, as if the person who had been speeding and cheering wildly on the road had never existed.
The stark contrast made Ye Fan's eyelids twitch.
......
Stepping into the elegantly decorated restaurant, soothing jazz music fills the air.
The waiter led the two to a booth by the window, where the light was soft.
After drinking a glass of ice water, Gu Yuejia seemed to relax completely, no longer the polite and reserved person she was at first, revealing her naturally outgoing nature.
She leaned forward slightly, resting her chin on her hands, her bright eyes looking at Ye Fan with eagerness: "Mr. Ye, seriously, if you don't have anything urgent this afternoon, how about I take you to a good place? I know a professional racetrack, the environment is amazing, and it's usually not crowded! I often sneak off to go there with friends, hiding it from my parents!"
Her tone carried a hint of smugness and excitement at sharing a secret.
Ye Fan didn't answer the question, but instead steered the conversation back on track: "Let's talk about that later! Now, shouldn't we get down to business?"
"Ah!" Gu Yuejia lightly slapped her forehead, a hint of annoyance and embarrassment on her face. "Right, right! Look at my brain, I was having so much fun driving the P1 just now that I almost forgot I'm here for an interview!"
Ye Fan cut the steak on his plate, his gaze calmly falling on Gu Yuejia's face, and posed the core question: "Ms. Gu, your qualifications seem quite good. To be honest, I'm very curious, what made you consider joining a newly established company like 'Minglu Culture'? Logically speaking, you should have had more mature platforms to choose from."
Gu Yuejia's smile faded slightly, and her eyes became frank and direct: "Because I'm not happy here, or rather... I can't fully utilize my abilities."
She picked up her water glass, took a sip, and organized her thoughts: "Like I mentioned to you in the car earlier, my family is too strict with me. At Alibaba and Tencent, it seems glamorous, but it's really no different from being at home. Every step is meticulously planned, everyone around me is very polite, and I've learned a lot, but..."
She paused, her fingertips unconsciously tapping the rim of her glass, her voice tinged with a barely perceptible sense of frustration: "My own thoughts, my own judgments, have almost no room to be exercised. They always think I'll cause trouble, they'll always treat me like a child who never grows up. This environment is too oppressive. I've studied for so many years, not to be a carefully protected decoration."
Her gaze refocused, with a clear determination: "So I want to move. A place where I can truly take charge of a business, where I can inject my own ideas and judgment. This isn't just about work, but also about proving to my family that I can be independent, that I can do it!"
She concluded with a confident smile: "Of course, it would be even more perfect if I could achieve something along the way!"
Ye Fan nodded slightly. That made sense. After all, many children from wealthy families were like flowers in a greenhouse. Children from ordinary families envied their family background, while the wealthy envied the freedom of children from ordinary families.
He would not deny Gu Yuejia's professionalism or potential because of her wild driving.
Hobbies are hobbies, and abilities are abilities.
