Xiang Min was waiting in her car at the front entrance of Julia's apartment. Both the CEO and former E Street gangster agreed after their shower that both of them were going together to Vivian's to hang out. She wasn't sure why Julia called it the Black Cat, but a quick database search from Xiang Min's phone revealed the ancient name of the bar before it was renamed to Vivian's. [color=FFCE00]"Huh, so this person is... quite a bit older than me."[/color] Xiang Min posited. [color=FFCE00]"Must already be doing some stuff while I was still a kid. And considering how scarred her body is, probably someone that has done a lot of side business before ending up here."[/color]

Xiang Min's mind is slowly turning. Should she make a job offer to Julia? Assuming she even accepts, her upcoming ventures would need someone who knows this city inside and out, someone with as much experience as her could be a massive asset for SDS should she start making moves against anyone who dares defy her dreams. She is an old woman in a profession where people tend to die young, and that is not someone who's to be underestimated. She can easily see Julia being a fearful enemy should any of her rivals get a hold of her, and killing someone who just got into the spire, someone who just has a taste of the good life... She won't lie that it's sometimes necessary, but it will break her heart. Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted when someone knocked on her car's door, startling the blonde-haired woman. [color=FFCE00]"Gah! Oh. It's just you."[/color] Xiang Min said. Opening the door of her car to let Julia in. [color=FFCE00]"Alright, all dressed up? We'll just go to the bar then, alright?"[/color]

She hit the gas pedal on her [url=https://s3.amazonaws.com/the-drive-staging/message-editor%2F1519278678793-20180208-xt2x4171.jpg?auto=webp&optimize=high&quality=70&width=1440]car[/url]. And the custom-made engine of her vehicle cranked to life, whirling out a rumbling sound that even shocked Xiang Min. This particular car of hers was designed specifically so that the Biofuel engine it has in its hood would mimic the sound of American racing cars of the late 20th century, and by the heavens above it sounds [url=https://www.youtube.com/embed/_eT6jaGcMqk?start=876&end=901]beastly[/url]. [color=FFCE00]"Sorry for the sound Julia."[/color] She said, rather startled by the sound. Even though she has had this car for two years at this point. [color=FFCE00]"I kinda sorta made this car myself. Engine sound and all."[/color]

In truth, as Xiang Min drove the vehicle through the tight streets of the Spire, easily getting some interested looks from onlookers. The car she's driving is the only car she made almost from scratch. She had to get the steel frame made by another company, the engine pretty much custom-made, and all the bits of pieces within the vehicle (including the electronics and weaponry) had to be made specifically to fit the chassis of the vehicle. It took quite a bit of convincing, and not a small amount of bribery, to get this car street legal for the streets of Megacity-01. And considering the small fortune she expended making this car, she might as well use this vehicle for its intended purpose. A one-of-a-kind vehicle befitting a CEO of her reputation.

Sometimes, making a statement is not necessarily about getting the best dress, or having the biggest bank account. Just having a unique vehicle that defines your identity can send a better message than a million credits worth of stock options.

Soon enough, she parked her car in a small parking lot beside Vivian's. And both women got out and walked to the bar. The bouncer, all 145 kilograms of muscle, and mostly rebuffing people who tried to enter the bar, quickly mellowed out when he saw Xiang Min and Julia enter his view. Welcoming her and her friend to the establishment.

[color=FFCE00]"C'mon, let's go to my usual spot."[/color] She says, inviting her to a set of rather comfy-looking sofas before she slumps into one of them. Sighing in comfort at the soft material hugging her. [color=FFCE00]"I always loved this place's sofas. No idea how they make these things so soft and so comfortable."[/color] She said, just in time for a robot bartender to visit the duo, wondering what they would like to order. [color=FFCE00]"A cold, sweet tea please, but please. Keep the sugar levels pretty low. I've just finished working out and gaining weight is the last priority on my list right now."[/color]

With her order placed. The blonde-haired CEO looked at Julia, her inquisitive eyes trained as Julia ordered something as well. [color=FFCE00]"So. What's your story? I don't see a lot of people from outside the Spire move here. Not gonna judge you or spill your secrets or anything like that. I will confidently say that my lips are sealed. Unless you plan on killing my family that is."[/color] She half-jokingly said. [color=FFCE00]"No, but seriously, I am fascinated, it's not every day I get to meet someone that can fight that I have to immediately kill."[/color]
