(asking for monthly tickets) “Hello.”

Since becoming famous, Li Manni had seen too many men like Zheng Dapeng, and among such groups, Zheng Dapeng could only be considered a low-ranking presence.

Although the Xiangyang Steel Plant was quite large, it had long since passed its peak.

Besides, it was a state-owned enterprise; even if a plant manager had substantial authority and rank, the factory ultimately belonged to the state and had little to do with the individual.

Today you are in charge of the plant, but maybe tomorrow you might be transferred away.

Among the numerous men wanting to pursue Li Manni, many were rich second-generation with incredibly high value.

…

In comparison, Zheng Dapeng really didn’t measure up.

Of course, no matter the conditions of the others, other than Yang Hao, none could catch Li Manni’s eye.

However, Zheng Dapeng was still quite confident, especially on his own turf in Xiangyang, where he felt like a “Princely Heir,” given that his father was on equal footing with the Mayor of Xiangyang.

So even though Li Manni was rather cold, Zheng Dapeng wasn’t planning to give up.

He took out his phone, handed it to Li Manni, and said with a smile, “Teacher Manni, would it be convenient to add Weixun?”

“There might be opportunities for work collaboration in the future.”

Zheng Dapeng offered a casual pretext, one he often used to get girls’ Weixun details.

But due to his “Xiangyang Princely Heir” status, he usually got his way.

Even if the girls didn’t particularly like him, they wouldn’t offend him over a Weixun request, after all, it’s just one more corpse in their Weixun friends list.

But Li Manni was clearly not one of those ordinary girls.

She simply replied with three indifferent words, “It’s inconvenient.”

“Uh…”

Zheng Dapeng had already revealed his Weixun QR code, waiting to add Li Manni as a Weixun friend, and he absolutely did not expect her to refuse.

Still, Zheng Dapeng wasn’t ready to give up.

He didn’t immediately withdraw his outstretched phone but frowned and said, “Teacher Manni, it’s just adding on Weixun, I won’t harass you.”

“Add me.”

“Anything you need, just tell me!”

At that moment, Yang Hao suddenly chimed in and even took out his phone to scan Zheng Dapeng’s Weixun QR code.

“Who the hell are you!”

Zheng Dapeng rolled his eyes at Yang Hao.

Li Manni’s public refusal to add him on Weixun already had Zheng Dapeng boiling with anger, but he couldn’t very well lash out at a woman like Li Manni.

Moreover, it was just a trivial matter of adding on Weixun.

But Yang Hao was different—a man stepping in at this moment meant he was obviously trying to play the hero.

But if you want to play the hero, shouldn’t you first weigh your own worth?

“Zheng Dapeng, today is my birthday celebration!”

“Yang is my granddaughter’s husband, watch how you speak!”

Before Yang Hao could respond, Kang Jingchun, the old man, abruptly stood up from his seat, his gray beard bristling.

For Kang Jingchun, choosing between Yang Hao and Zheng Dapeng was an easy decision.

Just yesterday, Yang Hao had given him eight gold bars and so many expensive cigarettes and alcohol.

Moreover, the younger generation of the Kang Family might all rely on him for sustenance in the future.

As for Zheng Dapeng, although he had some influence in Xiangyang, he lacked the power to elevate the Kang Family.

Thus, between the two options, Kang Jingchun found it easy to make a choice; he didn’t even try to smooth things over—instead, he slammed the table and scolded loudly.

Zheng Dapeng turned his head to look at Kang Jingchun and was immediately bewildered.

He thought to himself: Old man, has your brain broken?

Your son is still working at Xiangyang Steel Plant, have you forgotten?

At this moment, Kang Zhichao, who was the least hopeful of a conflict arising, indeed stood up.

With a smile, he said, “Director Zheng, this gentleman is Mr.

𝑜𝘃𝕘𝕠.co

Yang, Xiao Xiao’s brother-in-law.

He runs several large entertainment companies.

He’s come all the way from Hucheng to offer birthday wishes to my father.

We’re all family here.”

“Yang, Director Zheng is the son of the Xiangyang Steel Plant manager; he’s here representing the plant to offer birthday wishes.

He probably just wanted to befriend Manni by adding her on Weixun.”

“Manni, just add Director Zheng as a friend.

I can vouch for his character.”

In Kang Zhichao’s opinion, adding someone on Weixun was no big deal—indeed, he even felt a bit annoyed at Li Manni for being so reserved.

It’s just a bit of fame, and if someone asks for your Weixun, just add them and be done with it.

So, he simply decided to give Zheng Dapeng face, helping him accomplish what he hadn’t managed to do.

In Kang Zhichao’s eyes, with his uncle speaking up, Li Manni should have given some face, respecting her elder after all.

However, Li Manni wasn’t one to be coerced by moral obligation.

She turned her phone upside down on the table and said lightly, “Uncle, I have my own social standards; I never add strangers on Weixun.”

“This…”

A twitch formed at the corner of Kang Zhichao’s mouth.

He hadn’t expected Li Manni to so decisively refuse, not even giving face to her uncle.

“Manni, Director Zheng is not a stranger.”

“He’s a leader at your uncle’s workplace, and is the son of Mr.

Zheng…”

Kang Zhichao tried to persuade Li Manni, but before he could finish, Kang Huimin interrupted, “Zhichao, as an elder, you should not interfere with the younger generation’s social life!”

“It’s up to Manni whom she wants to add on Weixun.

It’s not appropriate for you as her uncle to step in and say such things!”

Kang Huifen was just looking for an opportunity to curry favor with Li Manni and Yang Hao, and naturally, she wouldn’t let this chance slip by.

She wasn’t from Xiangyang and had little to do with its social circles, with her children living in Hucheng, so she wasn’t afraid of offending Zheng Dapeng.

It wouldn’t matter to her if he were the son of the Mayor of Xiangyang, let alone Director Zheng’s son.

But for Yang Hao, it was different.

He had promised to help Xiaofeng last night.

“That’s right, Manni has her own freedom to socialize!”

“Zhichao, just shut your mouth!”

Kang Huifen was not as quick to respond as her older sister, but knowing the benefits of following her lead, she immediately echoed her sister’s sentiment as soon as Kang Huimin finished speaking.

Between their back-and-forth, Kang Zhichao was instantly rendered speechless.

He had simply hoped to use his status as uncle to curry favor with Zheng Dapeng, but the situation backfired, leaving him disliked both inside and out.

In real life, there are actually many people like Kang Zhichao, who are adept at being generous at someone else’s expense.

For example, if Person A asks Person B for a favor, and B is reluctant to help, he’ll join in urging B to do it, hoping to gain A’s favor.

Throughout the incident, he just talked, while A did all the work!

The current situation with Kang Zhichao persuading Li Manni to add a friend was even more distasteful than the example given, because he was morally blackmailing her.

To be more serious, it was almost as if he was “selling a woman for glory,” except that the woman he was selling was not his daughter, but his niece.
