After my divorce, I became a lucky super-rich person.

Chapter 45 Urgent! Is 18 considered adulthood in Japan?

"I did pick a few myself... like the Lexus LFA, the Porsche 911... or something even more radical like the Nissan GTR," Chen Jiang said, smiling at her.

To be fair, as a man, he does know a bit about cars.

He spent almost a month researching cars before buying one, looking at everything from luxury cars costing hundreds of thousands to tens of millions... although in the end he bought a Volkswagen that cost a little over ten thousand...

I never expected it would come in handy at this time.

"If you're looking for the same understated roar... the Lexus LFA is definitely a good fit."

Asakusa Makoto didn't expect Chen Jiang to seem to know so much about this.

As a car enthusiast, she often discusses and even argues with people online, but the number of people who openly know about her hobby is probably less than a handful. She has always kept it well hidden, since liking cars, a rather masculine hobby, doesn't quite match her personal style.

So she had never actually discussed it with anyone face-to-face, and at this moment she felt a little strange.

However, she couldn't help but feel a strange sense of wonder, as if she had found a kindred spirit. Subconsciously, she tugged at her mask, glanced at Chen Jiang, and couldn't suppress her inner eagerness.

"4.8-liter V10 engine, 9000 rpm redline, but it has been out of production for too long and the parts are a bit expensive."

"But if you want something quieter... these aren't really for you. You could try the Lexus LS500h? It's a top-of-the-line executive car, and it's very quiet to drive."

"Or you could try the Toyota Century?"

Asakusa Masami got a little lost in thought, and when the topic turned to the Toyota Century, she couldn't help but stop and ponder:

"But this car is so outdated... you probably won't like it..."

"Wow, you really know a lot about cars." Chen Jiang looked at her with some surprise. "You even know about these obscure models?"

Asakusa Makoto was clearly taken aback:

"Ah... unpopular cars? What unpopular cars? I'm talking about models that are very popular on the market."

Chen Jiang was also taken aback:

"But these two types you mentioned don't sell very well at Dongda University, do they?"

"At the University of Tokyo..." Asakusa Maai suddenly realized, her face flushing red as she lowered her head, as if wanting to bury it in her chest. "Private... I forgot we're not in Japan anymore... Private... I forgot!"

Chen Jiang burst out laughing:

"Haha... I knew these two models were niche."

"But you really know a lot about cars. I thought a model like you, who is also a member of a girl group and a star, would prefer luxury goods and such. It's surprising that you know so much about cars."

"Well... it's because I liked it when I was little, so I've continued to like it even now that I'm older."

Asakusa Masami really felt embarrassed. It was already awkward enough that it was her first time discussing car issues with someone in person, but the opinions she gave were so problematic that it made her even more embarrassed!

"I see... That makes sense. Everyone has hobbies, and liking cars isn't a strange hobby. I like them too."

Chen Jiang nodded casually.

"Yes......"

Asakusa Masami paused for a few seconds, finally managing to calm her racing heart, and turned her head slightly to glance at Chen Jiang.

Perhaps because she had revealed her preferences and even shared a little secret, she felt much more relaxed and gently asked the question that had been troubling her:

"But speaking of which, Mr. Chen, you drive such a luxury car, you seem like a wealthy person, so why are you doing this kind of errand-running work under President Xu?"

Chen Jiang looked at her with some surprise, then couldn't help but laugh:

"Who told you I work for her?"

"Huh...isn't that right?"

Asakusa Maai instinctively covered her mouth, quite surprised.

"Of course not. It's more accurate to say she works for me than me working for her..."

Chen Jiang didn't intend to hide it from her:

"She's the major shareholder, and I'm the second largest shareholder. I only came to see what was going on because I heard that the person I was working with this time was a Japanese model, and a celebrity at that. That's how I ended up being dragged into this."

"Or do you really think she just randomly found someone to watch over you... You're a Japanese friend, it could be very troublesome if something happens to you."

"So that's how it is..." Asakusa Maai suddenly understood, and looking at the interior of the Aston Martin again, it all made much sense now: "No wonder..."

"Alright, stop worrying about all that. Can you handle spicy food?"

Chen Jiang interrupted her reverie.

Asakusa Makoto thought for a moment and answered:

"Just a little bit."

"Let's eat at this Hunan restaurant then."

Without saying a word, Chen Jiang found a parking space, parked the car, opened the door, and led her towards the home-style Hunan restaurant.

With his current wealth, he could certainly take this minor celebrity to Western restaurants and Japanese restaurants, but Chen Jiang doesn't like those kinds of food, so why ruin his stomach?

If you're broke, you can be particular, but now that you have money, it's best to do things according to your own wishes.

So without even asking Asakusa Ai what she thought, he found a small private room, and the two sat down separately. Chen Jiang picked up the menu that the waiter brought over:

"Do you have any dietary restrictions, or anything you're craving?"

Asakusa True Love gently spoke:

"I don't eat fish... but everything else is fine."

"Then I'll order for you."

After Chen Jiang finished speaking, he ordered several dishes without hesitation, and also ordered rice, because he was really hungry.

The private room was quiet for a while. Chen Jiang took out his phone and replied to a few messages. Besides Nina's, there were also messages from Xu Ruirui and her husband, those two heartless people who were trying to find out information.

Chen Jiang gave a perfunctory reply, then turned around and saw Asakusa Masai still sitting there with a somewhat stiff expression. He immediately burst out laughing.

Do you wear a mask and hat while eating?

"Oops...sorry, I forgot."

After being reminded by him, Asakusa Masami belatedly realized what was going on.

She hesitated for a moment before reaching for her mask, then took it off, along with her hat. Her hair fell down, revealing a rather delicate face to Chen Jiang, causing him to instinctively catch his breath.

To be honest... in terms of delicate and exquisite features, Asakusa Mami in front of him was indeed the most beautiful woman Chen Jiang had ever seen.

Her face and features were delicate, her skin was fair and full of collagen, and her eyes seemed to become exceptionally bright after she took off her hat, just like... just like a little girl who hadn't yet come of age.

This immediately raised a question in Chen Jiang's mind:

"True love...may I ask your age?"

"Well......"

She had imagined many possible reactions from Chen Jiang after she revealed her face, but what Asakusa Masami never expected was that his first reaction would be to ask her age: "Of course!"

"I was born in 1998, and I just turned 18 two months ago."

Chen Jiang was struck dumb. He had never imagined that the other person was only eighteen years old. No wonder she looked so soft and sweet, no wonder her voice sounded a little childish, no wonder she was so petite...

Recalling Xu Ruirui's enthusiasm in pimping for him, he couldn't help but sigh:

"This is truly...a terrible tragedy!!!"

But speaking of Japan, shouldn't 18 be considered an adult?
