Soon, the two arrived at the Pujiang Customs.

However, the system was not perfect at that time, and the procedures for picking up goods were still somewhat cumbersome.

It took almost two hours to complete the formalities and finally see their goods, close to midnight.

A brand-new Rolls-Royce Silver Spur was driven out of the container by Su Jie. This was a car that Liu Xiaobao had specially ordered before returning to Pujiang.

Since 1986, my country has implemented a policy of levying tariffs and import adjustment taxes together, requiring imported cars with an engine displacement of 3.0 liters or more to be subject to a tariff rate of 220%.

The purchase price of Liu Xiaobao's car was HK$10 million, and now he has to pay an additional HK$22 million in customs duties upon entry.

So Liu Xiaobao spent a total of HK$32 million on this car; the import duties alone could buy two cars.

Keep in mind that the Hong Kong dollar was worth slightly more than the Chinese yuan in those days. Five hundred Hong Kong dollars could be exchanged for five hundred and fifty Chinese yuan. A car cost thirty-two million Hong Kong dollars, which was incredibly expensive!

If Liu Xiaobao had just arrived in this film and television world, he certainly wouldn't have been willing to spend so much money on a car, especially since "Boss Bao" didn't have that much money back then.

But now, Liu Xiaobao really doesn't care about the money anymore; he cares more about his reputation and image.

The current gambling king in Las Vegas only drives the same Rolls-Royce Silver Spur. Now that Liu Xiaobao has changed to such a car, he can definitely be called the most stylish person in Pujiang.

Sure enough, as soon as Su Jie drove out the luxury car, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him, as well as bursts of amazement.

Liu Xiaobao is a human being, and he naturally has vanity. Besides, back in 2023, he was just an ordinary college student.

Now that he has become a billionaire, Liu Xiaobao naturally wants to satisfy his vanity.

Back in Hong Kong, he had considered his status and simply bought an ordinary BMW. Now that he's back in Shanghai, he no longer has any concerns about whether his status is appropriate or not, and he just wants to see what it's like to ride in a luxury car.

Amidst everyone's attention, Liu Xiaobao sat in the back seat of the car.

And you know what? Luxury cars are indeed luxury cars. Not only is the interior space more spacious, but the interior decoration and configuration are also much more upscale than ordinary cars. There are rhinoceros leather seats, walnut wood interior, and the body is all aluminum alloy. The safety factor is also much higher when people are sitting inside.

As Su Jie drove his car out of customs, he attracted the attention of countless people along the way, and some were even stunned by Liu Xiaobao's new ride.

Seeing the scenes on the road greatly satisfied Liu Xiaobao's vanity.

However, as time went on, Liu Xiaobao lost that desire to attract attention!

In fact, Liu Xiaobao bought this car partly to satisfy his vanity and make himself more famous in Pujiang, but more importantly, it was to prepare for the group company he was about to establish.

Since he was preparing to establish his own group company, Liu Xiaobao naturally wanted to enhance the company's image, and his car as the boss could indirectly reflect the company's strength.

This is the same principle as his uncle teaching him how to dress and how to set up his company in the Peace Hotel to save face.

When others approach you to discuss business and discover your strong financial resources, they will naturally not worry about any financial obstacles and will prioritize cooperating with you.

Just as Liu Xiaobao's mindset returned to normal, Su Jie asked a question.

"Mr. Bao, if we go to the Industry and Commerce Bureau at this time, they'll be on their lunch break and off work. Should we wait for them there, or go back to the Peace Hotel?"

Just as Liu Xiaobao was wondering whether he should find a place to eat, his cell phone rang.

So Liu Xiaobao didn't answer Su Jie's question, but answered the phone first.

The call connected, and Reiko's voice came from the other end.

"Come to 'Night Tokyo' now!"

Lingzi said that and then hung up the phone.

Liu Xiaobao smiled helplessly at Lingzi's attitude and then turned to Su Jie.

"Perfect timing! Let's go to Night Tokyo for lunch first, then we can go to the Bureau of Industry and Commerce!"

Huangpu River, Jinxian Road, Tokyo at night.

At this moment, a man dressed like a successful businessman sat across from Reiko, talking to her as she busied herself wiping glasses.

“Reiko, do you know how desperate I was when you left Tokyo without saying goodbye? I thought I would never see you again in this life.”

Lingzi looked up at the man and emphasized, "Qiang Mujie, can you please stop saying things like that? Didn't I just tell you that I already have a boyfriend, and aren't you already married? What kind of feelings are you talking about with me? Is that appropriate?"

Sitting in front of Lingzi at this moment is Qiang Mujie, whom Li Li mentioned to Liu Xiaobao.

Liu Xiaobao probably never imagined that this Qiang Mujie would actually know Lingzi.

“Lingzi, I’m not such a frivolous man. I’m divorced, which is why I dare to open up to you. And I’m afraid that if I don’t say these things when I see you on June 20th, I’ll never have the chance to tell you again.”

Upon hearing this, Lingzi emphasized again, "Qiang Mujie, that's enough. Stop talking. I've already said that I have a boyfriend now, and he'll be here soon. Don't tell me these things anymore, lest he overhears and misunderstands!"

Qiang Mujie curled his lip: "Boyfriend? Fine, then I'll wait here and see what's so special about your boyfriend that makes Lingzi fall for him!"

Lingzi could tell that Qiang Mujie didn't believe she had a boyfriend at all, so she could only secretly pray that Liu Xiaobao would arrive soon.

These days, because business at 'Night Tokyo' has become very successful, Reiko has been busy with the shop's business.

Who knew that a few days ago, this Qiang Mujie suddenly found 'Night Tokyo' and started bothering her every day, even openly professing his love for her, which annoyed Lingzi to no end.

Lingzi knew that Liu Xiaobao had gone to Hong Kong, so she was worried about disturbing him while he was doing his business and did not call him for help.

It wasn't until last night, when news of Liu Xiaobao's extravagant purchase of three commercial buildings in Nanjing Road in one go reached 'Night Tokyo,' that Lingzi learned Liu Xiaobao had returned to Huangpu.

So when Lingzi saw Qiang Mujie arrive today, she immediately called Liu Xiaobao.

Just as Lingzi was hoping that Liu Xiaobao would arrive soon, a car with obviously high-end features stopped in front of Night Tokyo with the sound of tires braking.

Immediately afterwards, a handsome figure stepped out of the car; it was none other than Liu Xiaobao, whom Lingzi had been eagerly anticipating.

And that car, which looked very high-end at first glance, was none other than Liu Xiaobao's new ride, a Rolls-Royce Silver Spur!

Liu Xiaobao could have arrived at Night Tokyo three minutes earlier.

However, on the way here, the new car was stopped by the traffic police because it only had a Hong Kong license plate and not a mainland license plate.

If Liu Xiaobao hadn't had the receipt for the goods he just picked up from customs, his new car probably wouldn't have even made it to Tokyo before being impounded by the traffic police.

It was precisely because of this delay that Liu Xiaobao arrived at Night Tokyo three minutes late.

However, he arrived at least not too late.

Seeing Liu Xiaobao push the door open and come in, Lingzi immediately went to greet him and affectionately took his arm, asking with a smile, "You're here! Are you hungry? I'll go prepare lunch for you."

Liu Xiaobao was unaware of what had happened to Lingzi, and Lingzi hadn't explained it on the phone.

However, noticing Lingzi's unusual enthusiasm, Liu Xiaobao immediately guessed what was going on.

He didn't pull away from Lingzi's hand, but instead replied softly to her, "Okay, you understand me best. You can arrange it. Oh, and the driver is going to eat with me, so let's have a double portion."

"I understand. I'll have the little monk prepare your favorite dish!" Lingzi gave Liu Xiaobao an approving look before heading to the kitchen.

While Lingzi went to the kitchen to say hello, Liu Xiaobao waited for Su Jie to come in while casually glancing around the shop.

As 'Night Tokyo' became a hit, there were many customers in the store, but in the end, Liu Xiaobao's gaze still fell on Qiang Mujie.

Because Qiang Mujie was alone and sitting at the counter, Liu Xiaobao's intuition told him that this man was probably related to the reason Lingzi had called him over.

But these are just speculations. Liu Xiaobao won't take the initiative to talk to Qiang Mujie until he gets confirmation from Lingzi.

Just as Su Jie locked the car door and came in, Lingzi also came out from the direction of the kitchen.

Lingzi affectionately linked arms with Liu Xiaobao again and said with a smile, "Everything is arranged. You'll have something to eat soon. Oh, and I'll introduce you to a friend."

As she spoke, Lingzi pulled Liu Xiaobao in front of Qiang Mujie and introduced them, "This is a friend I met in Tokyo before, his name is Qiang Mujie! Qiang Mujie, this is my boyfriend, Abao, but in Pujiang, people usually call him Boss Bao!"

Upon being introduced by Lingzi, Liu Xiaobao and Qiang Mujie were both momentarily stunned.

Because they were the same, although they were enemies, they had only heard of each other's names but had never met, so they did not know each other at all.

Only after Lingzi's introduction did he realize that the person in front of him was his enemy.

Liu Xiaobao, on the other hand, was quite calm. After regaining his composure, he greeted Qiang Mujie with a greeting: "Hello."

But Qiang Mujie was different. His eyes flashed with hostility as he coldly replied, "I didn't expect Lingzi's boyfriend to be President Bao. Although I've only been in Pujiang for a few days, I've heard of President Bao's name many times. It's an honor to meet you!"

Liu Xiaobao knew that the hostility in Qiang Mujie's eyes was because of what "Boss Bao" had done in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, but Lingzi, who was standing next to him, did not.

Lingzi thought that Qiang Mujie only hated Liu Xiaobao because he was her boyfriend!

Therefore, Lingzi couldn't help but dislike Qiang Mujie even more, thinking that he was too narrow-minded.

Lingzi couldn't help but want Liu Xiaobao to stay away from Qiang Mujie, lest Liu Xiaobao incur Qiang Mujie's wrath and suffer some undeserved misfortune.

Then Lingzi spoke up, "Excuse me, Qiang Mujie, my son Abao is hungry, I have to go eat with him."

As she was speaking, Lingzi was about to pull Liu Xiaobao into the private room at the back, but at that moment, Qiang Mujie spoke up again.

"Mr. Bao, we should meet again in the stock market soon. Here is my business card. I hope you won't be afraid to take the plunge then!"

Qiang Mujie handed Liu Xiaobao a business card, which Liu Xiaobao accepted without hesitation and immediately began to read.

"General Manager of Nanguo Investment Pujiang? So you're General Manager Qiang from Nanguo Investment. That title carries some weight. Don't worry, I won't back down. Since you've challenged me, let's settle this in the stock market, which you excel at!"

"Very well, I will make you pay for your shameless actions back then!"

Qiang Mujie coldly uttered these words, then took out a few banknotes, placed them on the table, and left resentfully without even saying goodbye to Lingzi.

It wasn't until Qiang Mujie walked out of the store that Lingzi reacted and curiously asked Liu Xiaobao, "Judging from your conversation, did you have a grudge against him before?"
