And yet today he had seen Wang Xinyan actually driving a Porsche sports car!
So he had been dealt a blow!
"Xinyan, this is your car?" He Meiyue and Chai Xiaoling, who shared their dorm room, looked just as stunned, gazing at Wang Xinyan in disbelief.
"It is mine... I just do not drive it much..." Wang Xinyan said with a bitter smile.
"Well, well, Xinyan, so Wei Zhao knew and the rest of us were kept in the dark!" He Meiyue teased. "Who is close and who is distant could not be clearer!"
"I... I just did not want to show off, and besides... Wei Zhao knew long ago that I had a car..." Wang Xinyan flushed and explained.
"All right, all right, so you two are old acquaintances, fine? In a little while Xiaoling and I will ride in your car. A Porsche sports car! I have never even sat in a sports car before!" He Meiyue said brightly.
Seeing that Wang Xinyan really did have a car, Zhang Duopan wisely said nothing more. There was no help for it; He Meiyue had already said outright that she wanted to ride in a sports car. Surely he could not conjure one out of thin air?
"Ha, since Xinyan has a car too, then perfect, let us set off? The earlier the better, or the roads will get crowded before long!" Zhang Duopan said with a laugh.
The group set out in three cars, with Zhang Duopan's Range Rover Evoque leading the way toward Tiger Park.
Tiger Park, whose full name was the Africa Lion and Tiger Park, was one of the largest and most famous tourist attractions near Donghai. Also known as the Natural Forest Zoo, it covered a vast area of roughly two hundred thousand square meters. Built upon the primeval forest near Donghai and supplemented with numerous man-made landscapes and structures, it formed a distinctive natural scenic spot blending modern and primeval atmospheres, and naturally drew visitors from all over the country.
At present the Lion and Tiger Park kept African tigers, African lions, Northeast tigers, and many other fierce beasts. Visitors could ride special sightseeing vehicles, cable cars, and helicopters to view these wild animals up close, and could even feed them personally, experiencing communication and contact between humans and fierce beasts.
After parking at the entrance, Zhang Duopan produced the tickets he had bought in advance. The price here was naturally not cheap, two hundred yuan apiece, but to Zhang Duopan that was a trifle.
"This place is so huge and so imposing!" Gu Mengyao gazed at the grand Lion and Tiger Park and could not help feeling wistful. "Earlier An Liwen said he wanted to open a similar wildlife park in Songshan City. I wonder whether there has been any news?"
"That is right, he still owes me the money for a lion. I have not seen hide nor hair of the thing in ages, and he is welching on the payment!" Shen Yushu said, rather displeased.
"Uh... Wei Zhao already extorted so much money out of him, so what is one lion's worth?" Gu Mengyao was rather speechless; Xiaoshu still remembered the money for that lion.
"That is true." Shen Yushu nodded.
Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were awed by the grandeur of the Lion and Tiger Park, and naturally so was everyone else.
They were all used to living in the city, and coming suddenly to this Tiger Park, built upon a primeval forest with its overpowering air of nature, their mood widened and their spirits soared. Wei Zhao, however, showed no particular expression.
This sort of environment had long ago become routine to Wei Zhao; he was used to it and no longer surprised. This visit had merely stirred some familiar feelings from the past...
Those years, ah, how they made one nostalgic and wistful!
He thought of how long it had been since he returned to the city, and yet the urban life he had once yearned for was not as peaceful and tranquil as he had imagined.
