Zhu Ze glanced at Zheng Shuqi, who was fawning over Yang Hao, and recalled his behavior in the private room earlier, feeling somewhat bewildered.
This young brother, who had just entered society, had learned a vivid lesson.
This is society!
This is reality!
Some people turn their backs faster than flipping a book, you think they have their own stance, but their stance is to have no stance!
So whether it’s at the workplace or in interpersonal relationships, never trust anyone easily, and always leave yourself an out when you speak or act.
Girls usually take a long time to take photos, let alone seven of them.
Individual shots, pair shots, group shots…
After rounds of photography, which took a good forty to fifty minutes, they finally returned to the private room.
The atmosphere inside the private room, however, had completely changed; the girls and both Zheng Shuqi and Zhu Ze were extremely polite to Yang Hao.
After all, this was the big shot who gave away a million-dollar luxury car as a birthday gift; naturally, the best way to treat him was to cling to his coattails.
Out of everyone, Zheng Shuqi was the most sycophantic, falling just short of having “bootlicker” written all over his face.
His drastic change in attitude also taught the girls, who had just stepped into society, a lesson…
The birthday party didn’t go too late; it broke up just after ten.
After all, they were all workers who had to go to work the next day!
At the entrance of the restaurant, everyone went their separate ways. Yang Hao, who had been drinking, still opted for a designated driver.
Li Manni didn’t drink, and nobody forced her, the main character, during the meal. After sending everyone off, she sat behind the wheel of the Porsche Cayenne, both curious and delighted.
Xu Wenqian, her close friend, fulfilled her wish of sitting in the passenger seat. She had drunk around three bottles of beer, her cheeks flushed. She took out her phone, preparing to snap a selfie with Li Manni inside the car.
However, just then, Li Manni had fastened her seatbelt. It was a routine action, done for safety when driving after all.
But the problem was that Li Manni had taken off her coat inside the car. She wore a plain white undershirt, which, with the seatbelt fastened, looked extremely suggestive, creating a strong visual impact. Even Xu Wenqian, her best friend, couldn’t help staring wide-eyed.
She paused, then couldn’t help but sigh, “Ah, I really envy Yang!”
“Envy what?”
Li Manni asked, curious.
“Envy the fun Yang’s going to have…” Xu Wenqian replied with a suggestive wiggle of her eyebrows.
The naive Li Manni didn’t understand and turned her head to look at her friend in confusion, “Have fun with what?”
“Ah, you really have a blockhead!”
Xu Wenqian immediately playfully punched Li Manni’s chest with her small fist, which felt quite bouncy.
Li Manni then caught on and her cheeks turned crimson. She shot Xu Wenqian a look, “You might as well change your name to Huang Wenqian!”
“But what I’m saying is true!”
“If someone gave me a Porsche, I’d make sure to book the hotel myself, buy a few sets of QQ pajamas, and play the role of an understanding person!”
Xu Wenqian spread her hands and added in a serious tone, “Manni, I advise you to just give in. It’d also give Xixi a complete home!”
“Killing two birds with one stone!”
Li Manni would usually have retorted to Xu Wenqian’s comments in the past, but today her cheeks only grew redder.
“Buckle up your seatbelt!”
“Otherwise, I can’t guarantee your safety…”
After a moment of silence, Li Manni swiftly changed the subject.
Seeing her friend wanted to avoid the topic, Xu Wenqian did not press further, quietly buckling up her seatbelt. She then glanced at Li Manni from the corner of her eye and couldn’t help but sigh.
There was no comparison!
There was simply no comparing!
To be precise, they were not even the same category of things.
She was a type of snack called Wangzai steamed buns.
And Li Manni was a type of fruit called papaya.
Yes, a papaya.
But I should wear papaya more often in the future; I heard it helps!
Li Manni, a novice driver, drove very slowly. However, experienced drivers, recognizing a brand new Porsche and a female driver, would take the initiative to steer clear to avoid any accidents.
Thanks to this, Li Manni managed to drive home smoothly.
Back in the apartment, she laid out the gifts she received that day on the coffee table and took a picture.
The most valuable gift, aside from Yang Hao’s Porsche Cayenne, was the Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Intense Perfume from Xu Wenqian, her best friend.
One bottle of perfume cost over a thousand, and Xu Wenqian had certainly splurged.
However, it was only after taking the photo that Li Manni remembered that Xu Wenqian’s gift was not the most expensive one, aside from Yang Hao’s. The outfit her sister Li Manshu gave her had a tag price of three thousand eight hundred, which probably still amounted to over two thousand even after a discount.
A birthday, naturally, had to be recorded with a social media post.
But when Li Manni shared the post, she hid it from “Family” and “Relatives”.
If it were just ordinary gifts, it would be fine, but something like a Porsche Cayenne would definitely cause unnecessary trouble if seen by family or relatives.
Moreover, Li Manni had just provoked her sister a few days ago and did not wish to do so again.
However, some things cannot be hidden.
When the Porsche Cayenne was delivered to the restaurant, weren’t there bystanders watching?
Someone posted a clip on Kuaiyin with a simple caption: Someone else’s birthday gift.
The account had only a little over a hundred followers before posting the video; it was obvious that she was genuinely recording her life.
But the video unexpectedly went viral.
The video posted at over six in the evening had already amassed more than twenty thousand likes and over five thousand comments by ten at night.
Wanhe New Town.
Li Manshu didn’t return home from overtime until nine in the evening.
Because the design project at Star Cloud Bay was so urgent, Miss Meng only gave them five days to complete it, so she had to work late with Ai Yongyi.
At this moment, after washing up, she was applying a face mask while scrolling through Kuaiyin videos.
Then she stumbled upon a video where someone received a Porsche Cayenne as a birthday gift!
The video began by showcasing the carmine red Porsche Cayenne, then the camera casually pans to the side, and in voiceover, someone says, “It seems to be that beautiful sister’s birthday gift.”
When filming the person, only Li Manni’s profile was captured, but Xu Wenqian was featured more clearly, which led to some people in the comments inquiring who the lady was.
Actually, Xu Wenqian is quite pretty, but is often overlooked because she commonly appears with Li Manni.
As this video didn’t capture Li Manni’s full face, one could only tell it was a woman with a great figure, giving the two a chance to compete.
As a result, the comments section was divided into two camps, with some saying the Porsche was for Xu Wenqian, and others arguing it was for Li Manni!
As her elder sister, Li Manshu naturally recognized her younger sister immediately, and she knew today was her sister’s birthday!
So, there was a high probability that the Porsche was a gift for her sister, Li Manni!!
My God!!
Someone actually gave Manni a Porsche Cayenne???
That’s a luxury car worth millions!!
Was it some rich second-generation guy pursuing her??
This caliber of a rich second-generation should definitely be seized!
Li Manshu was getting anxious on behalf of her sister. She thought about calling to inquire, but looking at the time, it was already past ten, and she didn’t want to disturb her sister and the wealthy pursuer, so she considerately refrained from calling. She decided to visit in person the next morning since such matters were best discussed face-to-face.
She then revisited the video’s comments section, which was mostly filled with expressions of envy.
However, one of the comments caught her attention.
The commenter’s nickname was “Xiao Yanyan”.
Her comment read: I can’t believe I saw myself in the video.
Li Manshu, driven by curiosity, visited her profile and discovered she had posted a Kuaiyin an hour earlier—it was a photo collage, not a video.
The caption read: My bestie received a Porsche for her birthday, so envious~~~
The video contained four photos. The first was a solo shot of her with the Porsche Cayenne, the second was a photo with Li Manni, the third was a group photo of six girls, and the last was a collective snapshot inside a private room!
The first three photos were normal, but upon seeing the fourth, Li Manshu instantly became unsettled and ripped off the face mask from her face.
That’s because Yang Hao and Xixi were both in the large group photo!
But that wasn’t the main point. The point was that apart from Yang Hao, the other two men in the photo were each embracing a female companion, meaning those two men had girlfriends, ruling out the possibility of them giving the Porsche to her sister. Thus, there was only one man left in the photo—her ex-husband!!
He gifted Manni a Porsche Cayenne??
That’s impossible!!!
Li Manshu furrowed her brows, pondering this possibility.
But, if Manni wasn’t lying in the morning, and the person who took her to work was Yang Hao, then the man driving the U8 was indeed him!
In that case, it indeed was possible.
So is it that my ex-husband has made it big???
And far surpassed his previous state???
Once this thought formed in her mind, Li Manshu was completely thrown off balance.
Anyone could become wealthy, but not my ex-husband!!
If he becomes rich, wouldn’t that mean I was wrong, that I lacked judgment, and that the comfortable life I’ve been chasing was once within easy reach???
This situation was something Li Manshu dared not even fathom…
In the rented room.
Xixi was already fast asleep, perhaps worn out from the day’s activities; she was even snoring a bit.
Having just finished showering, Yang Hao was also preparing to get into bed and rest.
But just then his phone buzzed with two new messages on WeiXun from Meng Yuyu—one was a link to Kuaiyin video material, and the other was an “I miss you” emoticon.
Yang Hao opened the video and got hooked from the very first line: What’s it like to spend 2.4 million on three beds?
The platform Kuaiyin speaks of a “golden three seconds,” which refers to the first three seconds at the start of a video. If you can retain the viewer’s attention in those three seconds, the chances of the video succeeding greatly increase.
Actually, this principle is similar to the “golden three chapters” concept with web novels where the opening needs to be compelling.
And the video made by Meng Yuyu adhered to the “golden three seconds” principle perfectly, drawing viewers in with a riveting first line that piqued their curiosity to continue watching.
This little bitch seems to have a knack for creating short videos.
Yang Hao thought he might as well hand over his Kuaiyin account for her to manage. After all, it was a new account registered solely for a task, devoid of any personal information.
Then, he could lie back and profit off the efforts!
Yep, perfect!
Yang Hao felt this plan was feasible.
Just as he was preparing to discuss the matter with Meng Yuyu, another WeiXun message from her came in.
This time it was a picture…
