Chapter 69: 69, Youzi, you're freaking rich now
When Yang Hao arrived at Fenghua Residential Area, it was just mealtime.
Li Manni was busy in the kitchen, while Xixi was being looked after by Xu Wenqian, a lively girl who was quite good with children, and had already hit it off with Xixi.
When Yang Hao arrived, the two little foodies were competing for chips.
And as an elder, Xu Wenqian still upheld her style, always letting Xixi have her way.
"Daddy!"
Upon seeing Yang Hao enter, Xixi immediately rushed over to him.
"Are you having fun with auntie and Wenqian auntie?"
Yang Hao picked up his darling girl and pecked her on the cheek.
"Wenqian auntie told me to call her Wenqian sister..." Xixi said in her soft, mushy voice.
"Hehe, makes her sound younger."
Xu Wenqian's old face turned slightly red, since she was actually friends with Li Manni and should have been addressed as 'auntie' by definition.
But she always felt like she was still a child herself, so she allowed Xixi to call her sister.
"Yang, please have a seat."
"I'll go check the kitchen to see if I can help with anything."
Xu Wenqian politely excused herself then went to the kitchen.
Yang Hao shook his head with a bitter smile; the girl let Xixi call her 'sister' and then she called him 'big brother.'
Just like that, the generations between the father and daughter were leveled.
"Daddy, can I come play with auntie and Wenqian auntie again tomorrow?"
Xixi had always enjoyed being with Li Manni, and Xu Wenqian, with her quirky nature, got along easily with the kids.
So Xixi was very happy to be with both of them.
"Of course, you can."
Yang Hao nodded, as his childhood friend Liu Zifeng had long asked him to gather tomorrow since it was his girlfriend's birthday, and she was the type ready to get married, so he wanted Yang Hao to meet her.
Leaving Xixi with Li Manni and Xu Wenqian was something Yang Hao felt comfortable with, as it was a good opportunity for him to catch up with Liu Zifeng.
Ever since the System had descended upon him, he hadn't seen this friend who spent his days roaming through the flowers.

After playing with Xixi in the living room for a while, a sumptuous dinner was served at the table.
Li Manni, the former auntie, might look young, but her cooking skills were truly impressive, and she was one of the few young people willing to put effort into cooking.
Girls of her age generally didn't know how to cook, like the foodie Xu Wenqian.
However, this lavish dinner was not very friendly to Yang Hao, who was in his fat-reduction phase; he only ate a bit of green leafy vegetables before leaving the table.
Losing weight was a long-term task with generous rewards; he had to stick to it!
Feeling ashamed that he had only lost a pound the day before when starting from such a high baseline.
Yang Hao felt that he should lose more weight today, especially since he had expended so much energy with Wang Xueru.
"By the way, Manni, isn't your birthday this coming Monday?"
"Have you thought about how you want to celebrate?"
Yang Hao had originally bought the prada handbag intending to give it as a birthday gift, but the handbag had already been given away as a work gift.
Now that his little auntie's birthday was approaching, Yang Hao naturally had to prepare another gift.
"I've made plans to gather with my roommates."
Apart from Xu Wenqian, Li Manni also got along well with her four other roommates, so she thought of having them all together to make her birthday lively.
"Yang, you should come too."
"We agreed we could bring family members!"
Xu Wenqian swallowed a piece of rib from her mouth and said with a chuckle.
But her words clearly had an undertone of teasing, as the term 'family members' was not to be used lightly.
If Yang Hao and Li Manshu were still married, using the term 'family members' might barely be acceptable, but it was clearly inappropriate under the current circumstances.
Unless she had a hidden meaning with her words!
"Auntie, can I go too?"
Xixi, who had been focused on eating her meat, lifted her little head with an expectant look towards Li Manni.
"Of course, you can!"
Li Manni smiled and nodded her head; it was her birthday party, so naturally, she called the shots.
Ding!
Random Task Triggered: "Surprise for the Birthday"
Task Description: Give Li Manni a birthday gift that will surprise her.
Task Reward: To be determined (Note: The greater the level of surprise, the more generous the reward).
The voice of the System chimed in once again.
Yang Hao had already become accustomed to the oddities. From the previous tasks, he had discerned a pattern: when he was with Sun Xinyi or Li Manni, the chances of triggering a task would increase.
The task regarding U8 was triggered when he was with Sun Xinyi, and the task at Star Cloud Bay occurred while he was driving Li Manni to work.
A surprise birthday present?
Yang Hao started thinking subconsciously. He understood his sister-in-law quite well. Li Manni's values were completely opposite to those of her sister, Li Manshu. Li Manni didn't place much emphasis on money, so picking out a present for her was a challenge.
Fortunately, there was still one day left to give it some thought.
...
Nighttime.
Xixi had already fallen asleep.
Yang Hao posted the latest day of his weight loss vlog on Kuaiyin.
Meng Yuyu, that little bitch, followed Yang Hao's suggestion and embedded a "traffic password" into the video.
She willingly sacrificed herself for the traffic on Brother Yang's video. reading-here-on-MVLeMpYr
Her figure was already good, and with a bit of technological assistance, her appearance on camera was even more stunning. Let's just say she was quite curvaceous.
As a result, shortly after the video was posted, the comments section became lively:
"Big brother, post more, love watching."
"The aesthetics of these Star Cloud Bay homeowners are on point!"
"Brother, add a V, my figure is better than the woman in the video."
"Are you really going to the gym, or is it something else? I'm too embarrassed to point it out!"
"Brother, add me, I'm saucy..."
By this time, Yang Hao's Kuaiyin followers had risen to 210,000. His videos now inherently generated traffic, and he didn't need to spend money to buy it anymore.
Of course, if the video performed well, it wouldn't hurt to invest in promoting it. After all, a popular video could bring in revenues of hundreds of thousands or even millions. For Yang Hao at this stage, that kind of money was still very important.
Exiting Kuaiyin.
Yang Hao opened the Qidian reading app.
Then, in one go, he recharged 700,000 RMB into his account, which was equivalent to seventy million Qidian Coins!
It was already half past eleven, and there was only half an hour left until the single-day monthly ticket settlement.
He looked at the monthly ticket rankings. The book in first place currently had 36,000 votes, and it was the 9th of the month.
This meant that the book was averaging 4,000 monthly tickets each day.
Based on this, if a book could secure 5,000 monthly tickets in a day, it would likely win the daily championship.
According to the Qidian's reward rules, one would receive a monthly ticket for every 10,000 coins donated.
So, donating to a regular alliance leader would award ten monthly tickets, Silver Alliance a hundred monthly tickets, and Golden Alliance a thousand.
This meant that, in reality, Yang could secure the daily monthly ticket championship with a donation to five Golden Alliances. But to be absolutely sure, he decided to recharge all 700,000 from his card.
With this, the daily monthly ticket championship should be in the bag, and he would also earn a cashback reward. Two birds with one stone!
Lvcheng Garden.
Fat Peng was still sitting in front of his computer, typing away.
He was a full-time writer; if he didn't write, he'd have to eat dirt.
So even though his book "Rebirth: Do Not Bully the Mid-Aged Poor" wasn't performing well, he persisted in updating ten thousand words daily. He planned to finish writing a million words to complete the book, trying his best not to drop it or rush the ending, to fulfill his readers' expectations.
"Aren't you finished yet?"
His wife, Ma Huijuan, knocked and opened the door to his study. She was wearing a black camisole dress, with a generously endowed figure that revealed ample cleavage.
Obviously, Mrs. Ma, as a teacher, was there to urge her student to start class.
Fat Peng rubbed his forehead. To a middle-aged man like him, it was best to skip his wife's lessons if he could.
"Go to sleep first. There's a parent-child sports event in the morning. I'll be writing late today."
Fat Peng could have actually wrapped up the last chapter, but seeing his wife, he decided to push through one more chapter before returning to the bedroom later.
"Oh, then don't stay up too late..."
Ma Huijuan left the study somewhat disappointed and went back to the bedroom by herself.
Fat Peng sighed in relief.
At that moment, a notification from Weixun, which hung under his computer, suddenly went off. He clicked to check. Someone in the group with the nickname "Me and My Sons" had mentioned him.
"Youzi, you're rich as fuck."
"Youzi, when you come into money, don't forget your poor friends!"
"Golden Alliance! I'm drooling with envy!!"
"Youzi, some godly rich guy noticed you..."
"Youzi, aren't you gonna send out red envelopes to celebrate!"
"Ahhhh, I've been writing for ten years, never even made it to Silver Alliance!"
"..."
