Chapter 96: 89, Brother-in-law is still brother-in-law, parents are still parents (asking for monthly ticket)



Although its status in today\'s circles isn\'t what it once was, its prestige remains intact; the impression it conveys is still that of a million-dollar luxury car, a symbol of stature.

Especially to the common folk, it remains an unattainable dream.

It\'s a bit like a past-her-prime movie star; the big shots may no longer fancy her, but ordinary people still need to look up to her, as they will likely never reach the heights she has fallen from.

This is the so-called "A camel, even when emaciated, is still bigger than a horse!"

The highest earner among the crowd was Zheng Shuqi, with an annual salary of around 150,000. To buy this Cayenne, he\'d have to save for over six years without spending a cent.

Therefore, the likelihood of Zheng Shuqi actually buying a Cayenne was virtually zero!

After all, the premise of not eating or drinking is paradoxical.

Previously, Zheng Shuqi had silently disrespected Yang Hao in his mind because he felt that the other might not be any better than him, or that they were of the same class.

But now, things were different. Anyone who could casually gift a Porsche Cayenne as a birthday present must be worth tens of millions at the least.

Such a person was not to be offended, so the moment he saw the Porsche Cayenne, he was already pondering how to get on good terms with this big shot.

As the female protagonist of the event, Li Manni\'s mood was extremely complex. Shock dominated her mind at the beginning, then she couldn\'t help but let her thoughts run wild.

This ex-brother-in-law, first, let her live in his house without charging any rent, and now, he had given her a million-dollar luxury car!

Getting a wife usually wouldn\'t go this far!

No, many people don\'t even give a Porsche Cayenne when they marry off a wife!

And this was just for her birthday!

Thinking of the jokes that Xu Wenqian often teased her with lately, Li Manni suddenly felt her cheeks burning.

This brother-in-law had always held a special place in her heart. At first, she thought of the brother-in-law as a benefactor to their family, and later, the omnipotent brother-in-law had become the object of her adolescent admiration.

After the brother-in-law divorced her sister, she firmly sided with him. Apart from feeling that the divorce was indeed her sister\'s fault, there was also an indescribable emotional factor.

But because of their special relationship, she always dared not face her true inner thoughts.

However, after feeling the continued pampering from her ex-brother-in-law, her heart truly began to waver, and the mind of this talented Jiangcheng University graduate flashed with the verse from "Untitled": You were born before me, and I was born after you had aged, you resent my belated birth, and I lament your early arrival!

Fortunately, their age difference was just over a decade, not so vast that it was completely unacceptable.

Li Manni looked up at Yang Hao beside her, just as he was also looking at her.

"Do you like it?" Yang Hao asked with a smile.

"I love it!"

Li Manni nodded vigorously. She wasn\'t materialistic, but her yearning and love for beautiful things were innate; it\'s a psychology shared by all humans.

"Thank you..."

Li Manni began to express her gratitude but then added, "Yang."

However, she whispered "Yang" so softly, both found it barely audible...

Yang Hao was taken aback and even thought he had heard wrong. After all, being called brother-in-law for so many years, a sudden change of address was not easy to get used to.

But coming back to his senses, Yang Hao seriously said, "You don\'t need to change how you address me, a brother-in-law is still a brother-in-law, parents are still parents!"

"After all these years, our relationship doesn\'t need someone to maintain it!"

"Hmm!"

Li Manni blushed and nodded, not expecting her brave "Yang" to be rejected by him.

What Li Manni didn\'t know was that Yang Hao, the sly old man, refused to change her way of addressing him simply because he didn\'t want to lose the buff!

The number of women who called him "Yang" had become uncountable, but there was only one Li Manni who called him brother-in-law.

That\'s a uniqueness!

And "Yang" just didn\'t have the same thrill as "brother-in-law."

When playing poker in the future, would you want to hear "Yang, I pass" or "brother-in-law, I pass"?

Don\'t get the wrong idea!

Yang Hao was laying down a bomb, so of course, Li Manni would pass!

Simply unable to beat it.

Thus, this buff had to be stacked to the max.

As everyone knows, having a buff can increase one\'s output.

Let\'s take the monkey as an example, with all its buffs stacked, few can withstand its combo.

Each strike is more ferocious than the last!

And you might even land a critical hit!

Without the buff, each strike, no matter how hard, would be feeble...

"Who is Miss Li, please sign here."

By this time, the Porsche Cayenne had smoothly landed on the ground, and the delivery man was looking at a few girls with a clipboard in hand.

Several girls were exceptionally excited, so it was unclear to whom the car was being delivered.

"I am."

Li Manni, who was standing somewhat in the back, stepped forward and signed her name on the delivery form.

The delivery man took a look at Li Manni and couldn\'t help but sigh inwardly: Sure enough, such luxury cars are always gifted to beauties!

After the delivery man left, several girls immediately surrounded the Porsche Cayenne.

"Manni, let\'s take a photo together!"

"Yes, yes, yes, the six golden flowers should take a group photo!"

Wang Yan and Xu Wenqian took charge of organizing the photo session.

This kind of soap opera moment of receiving a Porsche as a birthday present naturally had to be documented with a photo, and not just that, it needed to be shared on social media as well.

Li Manni was naturally in a very good mood at this moment and started taking pictures with her close sisters, including bringing Xixi into the frame.

Ding!

Congratulations, host, for completing the task: [Surprise for the Birthday]

Task reward: Main quest progress increased by 1%!!

Fuck!!!

During the time when the girls were taking photos, the familiar system notification sound rang in Yang Hao\'s mind.

However, the reward this time far exceeded his expectations.

When the system issued the task before, the task reward was to be determined, saying it would be decided based on Li Manni\'s level of surprise.

And now the reward given was actually a 1% increase in the main quest progress!!

He knew that before, the main quest hadn\'t moved at all, and Yang Hao would have to lose dozens of pounds before the main quest progress could increase by 1%!

It was evident that the gift did indeed bring Li Manni a considerable surprise.

Yang Hao hurriedly called up the system\'s main page.

The main quest progress at the bottom had indeed gone from 0 to 1%!

And each increase in the main quest progress came with a reward, just like in the game of Monopoly.

Yang Hao immediately clicked to claim the reward for the main quest progress!

Ding!!

Monopoly game main quest progress reward issuing...

Task reward: 28% stock ownership of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group.

Fuck!!

Yang Hao was shocked once again.

Jiangcheng Newspaper Group was a big company, and it even had government backing!

The Jiangcheng Evening News where Li Manni worked was part of the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group.

However, Yang Hao didn\'t know much about this Jiangcheng Newspaper Group, so he immediately opened his phone to check.

Jiangcheng Newspaper Group had three newspapers under its banner: Jiangcheng Evening News, Jiangcheng Daily, and Jiangcheng Financial News.

There was also a magazine called Story Today.

In addition, Jiangcheng News Network and Jiangcheng Publishing House were also subsidiaries of the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group.

The current total market value of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group was around 500 million.

However, Jiangcheng Newspaper Group belonged to a state-controlled enterprise, with the Jiangcheng City government holding a 51% stake in it.

Therefore, the chairman of the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group had always been concurrently the head of the Jiangcheng City Propaganda Department, but it was a nominal position, as the government did not interfere with the group\'s operations.

Many joint public-private enterprises were operated in this fashion, but for media enterprises like this, the officials still needed to firmly hold control, just in case!

The government held 51% of the shares, so with my 28%, I should be the largest shareholder, right?

Does that mean the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group will have to change its surname to "Yang" now?

Yang Hao thought to himself and then glanced at Li Manni, who was still taking photos with her roommates.

He couldn\'t help but feel amazed internally: The rewards for watching over his growing little auntie are indeed substantial!!

Last time it was a luxury house at Star Cloud Bay worth 40 million, and this time he directly received a 28% stake in Jiangcheng Newspaper Group, which would be worth about 140 million if liquidated at the current market value.

Which means, I\'m truly a billionaire now!

Nice!

The System is awesome!!

"Yang, want a smoke?"

While Yang Hao was quietly feeling astonished, Zheng Shuqi approached him, and at the same time, passed him a cigarette.

Yang Hao used to smoke, but he had quit after Xixi came into his life.

He waved his hand, "Thanks, I don\'t smoke."

"It\'s better not to, smoking harms the health, and it\'s just that I can\'t quit because of my loose lips..."

Zheng Shuqi, having his offer of a cigarette declined, showed no displeasure but instead smiled and began to mock himself.

Yang Hao looked at this sycophantic little brother with amusement in his heart.

How come the kid has two faces!

Yang Hao remembered that just a while ago in the private room, this little brother had been acting all sarcastic towards him.

"Where are you making money, Yang?"

Because Yang Hao said he didn\'t smoke, Zheng Shuqi didn\'t smoke either, enduring his craving and put the cigarette he had taken out back into the pack.

He knew people who didn\'t smoke tended to dislike the smell, and he didn\'t want to offend this wealthy brother.

Seeing Zheng Shuqi\'s small gesture, Yang Hao silently shook his head, thinking to himself: The little brother is quite considerate!

However, I still prefer that unruly side of you in the private room!

"Doing a little business," Yang Hao replied casually.

"Yang is joking. If what you\'re doing counts as a little business, then I might as well be a beggar!" Zheng Shuqi mocked himself again.

Upon hearing this, Yang Hao just waved his hand, "Brother Zheng, you\'re underestimating the beggars, many of them are worth millions or even tens of millions!"

"Didn\'t a begging old man give an interview recently? He bought three houses with the money he collected from begging..."

"Uh..."

Zheng Shuqi was taken aback, as it was clear Yang was insinuating he was even less than a beggar.

But Zheng Shuqi didn\'t have much temper to show; who asked him to have had a poor attitude inside the private room. He felt grateful that the big shot hadn\'t slapped him in the face right then and there—wasn\'t it reasonable for him to make a jab?

Well, just endure it and focus on maintaining a good attitude!
