The car that brought her back should have been from the TV crew. After Li Manni got off, the nanny van drove away.
“I’ll go down and get Manni.”
Seeing that it was Li Manni who had arrived, Jiang Yuqi was quite happy. Her relationship with Li Manni was actually quite good; when they were in Jiangcheng, they would often meet up, and sometimes even take Xixi out together.
And they both were recognized by Xixi as “Mommy”!
“You’re going down?”
“Just like that?”
Yang Hao laughed and pointed at Jiang Yuqi’s battle-worn maid outfit, his face displaying a playful grin.
“Uh, I’ll go back to my room to change clothes first!”
Jiang Yuqi’s cheeks flushed slightly as she hurriedly dashed back to her room.
What she was wearing was one of those more revealing QQ pajamas that became a mess after some struggle and were absolutely not suitable to be seen in public.
Even though she got along well with Li Manni, she couldn’t possibly meet her dressed like that!
Yang Hao smiled and quickly went downstairs.
By the time he reached the courtyard, Li Manni had also arrived inside the yard, dragging a suitcase behind her.
“Wrap up time!”
Yang Hao went up to her and took the suitcase from Li Manni’s hand.
“Mhm, it finished a bit earlier than expected!”
According to the filming schedule of “My Idol,” they were supposed to work until two or three in the morning, but today’s filming went very smoothly, and they wrapped up by just past midnight.
It was just a bit past one now.
“Right, let’s go upstairs and get some early rest.”
Yang Hao was quite protective of his little sister-in-law. In fact, from Yang Hao’s perspective, it didn’t matter whether Li Manni worked or not; after all, he could afford to support her.
But he understood Li Manni. Although she appeared soft and delicate on the outside, she was very determined on the inside and took her work very seriously.
So, telling her not to work wasn’t very realistic.
“Has Xixi arrived yet?”
Li Manni asked while following Yang Hao into the house.
“She arrived a long time ago.”
“She played all evening and has already fallen asleep.”
Yang Hao, holding the suitcase with one hand, naturally took Li Manni’s hand with the other.
Li Manni still wasn’t entirely comfortable with such intimate contact. Under the moonlight, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and while her heart raced, she also thoroughly enjoyed the sensation of holding hands.
The two of them entered the villa.
Jiang Yuqi, who had changed her clothes, was just coming downstairs!
“Manni, I missed you so much!”
The little maid lunged forward and gave Li Manni a big hug.
“Qiqi, don’t hug me so tightly!”
Li Manni gently patted Jiang Yuqi’s back while teasing her softly.
“Hehe, I just missed you!”
“How about we sleep together later?”
Jiang Yuqi immediately extended the invite; when they were in Jiangcheng, Li Manni occasionally stayed overnight at Star Cloud Bay.
The two good friends would share the same room, chatting about topics that girls like and some gossip as well.
“Sure!”
Li Manni nodded her head. Due to work, she was used to staying up late. Although it was already past one, she was quite energetic and couldn’t fall asleep for a while, so she preferred to chat with Jiang Yuqi.
“Then you two better go to sleep early.”
“Don’t stay up too late, we have to go out tomorrow!”
Yang Hao advised, then he headed back to his room.
The next afternoon.
After the whole family finished “breakfast.”
Yang Hao, Li Manni, and Xixi got into the Rolls-Royce Phantom that Huang Ji had arranged for them the day before.
Since it was a long drive, Yang Hao didn’t choose to drive himself but had Qin Feng send a driver over.
Because this trip could be fairly lengthy, Yang Hao did not plan on having “Hucheng’s number one rich second generation” Qin Feng act as the driver. However, upon learning of Yang Hao’s transportation needs, Qin Feng volunteered for the task without hesitation.
His actions this time somewhat impressed Yang Hao, who knew that some just wanted to make a good impression superficially, like what Qin Feng had done before.
But what Yang Hao didn’t expect was that Qin Feng, the top second-generation rich man of Hucheng, was really putting in the effort!
He didn’t hesitate with the journey of over seven hundred kilometers, immediately taking on the role of driver.
If Qin Feng had been an inconspicuous figure before, this kind of behavior wouldn’t have been surprising.
But although Qin Feng couldn’t compare to Yang Hao, he still carried the title of “Hucheng’s top second-generation rich man,” with over six million Kuaiyin fans.
So his willingness to act as a driver was quite touching to Yang Hao, at least it showed his attitude was genuinely proper!
“Mr. Qin, are you planning to enter the film and television industry?”
After getting on the expressway, Yang Hao, sitting in the passenger seat, initiated the conversation.
Firstly, Yang Hao indeed wanted to discuss Qin Feng’s future development direction with him.
Secondly, Yang Hao was chatting with the driver to help him stay mentally alert.
During long drives, the co-driver plays a very important role, as keeping the driver engaged in conversation can help maintain a clear mind and prevent drowsiness.
On the other hand, if the co-driver does nothing but eat and sleep, the driver is likely to become sleepy too, which can be dangerous.
“Master, stop calling me Mr. Qin!”
“Just call me Qin.”
Firstly correcting the way he was addressed, Qin Feng then said, “In front of my mentor, I won’t tell lies; actually, I did plan to make my way into the entertainment industry, believing that being a celebrity would make earning money easier.”
“However, after meeting you, my thoughts changed. Now, all I want is to stay by your side and learn a few things,” Qin Feng stated earnestly.
“Hmm, that’s a good thought.”
Yang Hao, of course, knew that Qin Feng was just flattering him, but that kind of flattery wouldn’t offend anyone who heard it.
Yang Hao didn’t bother to contradict; he nodded and said, “You should know that I’ve just taken over Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group, so I really could use some help.”
“If you’re interested, I can arrange for you to start working there and help me out with some things.” Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire
“If you like the idea of developing a career in entertainment, you can also take advantage of the group’s resources!”
“Really?”
“That’s fantastic.”
“Thank you, Master!”
The reason Qin Feng had been so obsequious all along was clearly because he was coveting the support of someone like Yang Hao.
However, he hadn’t expected to get a return on his efforts so quickly; he thought Yang Hao would test him for a while longer!
Now that Yang Hao suddenly tossed him a big pie, Qin Feng was naturally overjoyed and quickly expressed his thanks!
“Don’t get too excited just yet.”
“I’m simply giving you an opportunity to try.”
“If you can’t handle it well, just keep being your internet celebrity self!”
With a slight shrug, Yang Hao set his expectations clearly.
“Yes, yes, I will work hard, not to let down the expectations you have of me,” Qin Feng quickly affirmed.
“Actually, I believe you can do well!”
Yang Hao nodded, having made the decision after using his “Fiery Eyes” skill to evaluate.
The System’s assessment of Qin Feng was “double A”!
This was quite a high rating, and upon seeing this evaluation, Yang Hao was not surprised.
Qin Feng understood how to hype things up and manipulate public opinion, he definitely had ability; otherwise, he wouldn’t have garnered over six million fans, nor would he dare to carry the title of “Hucheng’s top second-generation rich man.”
Xiangyang City.
This is the city where Li Manni’s grandfather lives.
Her grandfather, Li Jingchun, was the workshop director of the Xiangyang Steel Plant before he retired and is considered a prominent figure locally in Xiangyang.
After all, the Xiangyang Steel Plant is the city’s calling card, the whole city was originally built around the steel plant, and Xiangyang was once known as “Steel City.”
However, as the economy continued to develop and competition in the steel industry became fiercer, the technology of the Xiangyang Steel Plant became relatively outdated, losing its former glory.
Steel plant residential area.
A Wenjie M9 stopped underneath Building 3, Block 1.
Li Manshu got out of the back seat.
She had come with her parents, but riding in her father’s Wenjie M9, she felt very conflicted throughout the journey.
She and Yang Hao were already divorced, but because of her sister, her own father had ended up driving a Wenjie M9 worth over five hundred thousand.
To know, the car she was currently using was just a modest one worth tens of thousands, not at all comparable to the latest and hottest Wenjie M9!
