"You’re saying the boss is giving this to me?"
Pei Rang stared at the Maybach purchase contract in his hands. It would be a lie to say he wasn’t surprised.
After all, his current ride was just a BMW worth around 600,000 yuan. And even though his salary plus other income amounted to several hundred thousand a month, this was Shanghai. Life was never that simple.
His monthly mortgage payment alone was about 200,000 yuan. Then there were his kid’s various tutoring classes, private tutors, a nanny, and living expenses, which all added up to at least 400,000 to 500,000 a month. When all was said and done, he didn’t have much left in savings.
Although Pei Rang’s life seemed glamorous to outsiders, only he knew the reality of his situation.
"Mhm. The boss said that as the CEO of Yunmengze, you need to present a good image when you’re out and about. The company can also purchase a few high-end business vehicles for employee use. They can’t be low-end!"
"Also..." Chen Fei handed another purchase contract to Pei Rang. "This is the mystery grand prize the boss prepared. You have to ensure it’s absolutely fair and impartial!"
As he spoke the last few words, Chen Fei’s tone grew noticeably heavier. Pei Rang knew this was a warning from the boss.
"Tell the boss not to worry!" Pei Rang said seriously.
Chen Fei nodded, said his goodbyes, and turned to leave the CEO’s office. After all, Su Chen was still waiting for him in the underground garage of Jinmao Mansion.
After Chen Fei left, Pei Rang finally picked up the other purchase contract to look at it. When he saw what car it was for, he smacked his lips. ’A grand prize like this is going to get everyone fired up!’
A glint flashed in his eyes. He immediately called his secretary in and instructed him to notify all the senior executives of a meeting. This year’s annual party had to be a lively one.

"Ah Fei, is this the time of year when universities go on break?"
Chen Fei had just gotten in the car when he heard Su Chen’s question.
"University?" Chen Fei was completely bewildered. ’Do I look like someone who went to college?’
Of course, he only dared to think that to himself.
"Probably. They mostly go on break around the middle of the twelfth lunar month, which should be right around now!" Although he didn’t know when universities let out, he knew when high school winter break started.
Su Chen nodded slightly at his words, then took out his phone and made a call.
While waiting for Chen Fei earlier, Su Chen had been chatting in the Su family’s "We Are a Happy Family" group chat. His third uncle found out he was in Shanghai and told him to bring Qingya back with him.
Only then did Su Chen remember that Su Qingya was attending university in Shanghai. It seemed that ever since the semester started, he’d been so busy with various things that he hadn’t called her once. ’As her older brother, I’ve been a bit neglectful,’ he thought.
The phone rang for about seven or eight seconds before it was answered.
"Hello, Bro! What made you suddenly think to call me?" Su Qingya asked, her voice slightly playful.
