``` "Uncle, Auntie, please don't get upset yet!" Meng Xiaoyang quickly stood up to smooth things over, "I know this guy has been with Fu Zi for a long time. If they break up just like that, I might have to reconsider things. This just shows that Xiao Zi is a good girl, right?" "Xiaoyang understands the situation!" Upon hearing this, Fu Zi's parents felt a bit more at ease, but their gaze towards Ding Minghui did not improve at all, and they said pointedly, "Unlike some people!" "Uncle, Auntie, please have a seat. Since you're here, we're all friends. I'm not so petty; we can talk things over slowly," Meng Xiaoyang extended a hand towards Ding Minghui, "Hello, my name is Meng Xiaoyang, sales manager at Renault Biotechnology." Ding Minghui completely ignored him, not because he was rude, but because how could you speak kindly to someone who wants to snatch your girlfriend, especially when they were aware of the relationship? It was clear that the other party came with bad intentions. "Sit here quietly. Don't open your mouth unless you're told to!" Wang Yan glared at Fu Zi and whispered in her ear. "Brother Ding, right? May I ask which company you're currently working for?" Meng Xiaoyang asked sarcastically. "He? Just a college student who started some gaming company with a bunch of kids. It's just a group of kids fooling around!" Before Meng Xiaoyang could answer, Wang Yan spoke for him. "That won't do!" Meng Xiaoyang shook his head, speaking earnestly, "The gaming industry is tough these days. The initial investment is exorbitant, and the maintenance costs are high. Even a mobile game faces difficulty in breaking into the market. You should focus on graduating first, then find a steady internship before considering starting a business." Meng Xiaoyang himself had tried his hand at entrepreneurship, but failed halfway due to various reasons, so he knew the intricacies well, speaking as if an elder teaching a young one. "This is a later issue. I heard that Brother Ding is a student at Jiangnan University, ranked in the top three nationally, with potential for great future development!" Fu Zi's parents were suddenly puzzled. Why was Meng Xiaoyang suddenly supporting Ding Minghui? "But you should know, housing in Jiangnan City is expensive. Xiao Zi is an only child and certainly won't follow you elsewhere. Maybe you'll have a decent income in a few years, but can Xiao Zi wait until then?" Meng Xiaoyang kept referring to Xiao Zi, as if they were already close, "If you want to be together, you need a stable place to live, right? Of course, you haven't graduated and don't have a steady income. That's normal. Which young person isn't like that nowadays? But if you don't mind me asking, Brother Ding, what do your parents do for a living?" "His parents are just workers at a small factory," Wang Yan said coldly. "Oh, that's not good! You've just graduated; you need to support yourself first, and it's essential to send a bit back home to honor your parents, right? You won't save much by the end of the year!" Meng Xiaoyang appeared to be considering Ding Minghui's situation. "I'll work hard!" After holding back for a while, Ding Minghui finally managed to squeeze out a few words. Ding Minghui was an honest person, not great with words, whereas Meng Xiaoyang, as the sales manager of a multinational company, was eloquent. In terms of verbal sparring, even ten Ding Minghuis combined wouldn't stand a chance against him. "By the way, Brother Ding, how is your company doing now? Have you reached Series A funding yet? How are the profits these days?" Faced with Meng Xiaoyang's barrage of questions, Ding Minghui was at a loss for words; he was responsible for the security section and knew nothing about the business operations, which were handled by Cheng Kai and some recently hired staff. Ding Minghui's personality ensured that even though he was crucial, he remained quietly in the background. "It seems your company isn't doing well, just getting started, right? What's the registered capital? It can't exceed five hundred thousand, can it?" Meng Xiaoyang's tone was full of contempt. "So, you can't give Fu Zi happiness!" After laying the groundwork, Meng Xiaoyang revealed his ultimate goal, which was to belittle Ding Minghui to worthlessness! "Uncle, Auntie, although I'm just a small-time manager now, I make hundreds of thousands every year. I've even bought a house in Jiangnan City, in the Jiangdong District. You're welcome to visit anytime!" After putting Ding Minghui down, he began to elevate himself. "What, Xiaoyang, you live in Jiangdong District? Houses there aren't cheap!" Fu Zi's parents were practically beaming with joy; Jiangdong District was one of the fastest-growing areas economically in Jiangnan City, with house prices soaring. The cheapest was already starting at four million. "But it's not very big, just over 120 square meters. I still have to pay off the loan for a while," Meng Xiaoyang said, feigning modesty. In reality, that apartment's total price was nearly six million, but due to Jiangdong's talent attraction policy, eighty thousand was waived, and with his parents contributing two million and the savings he accumulated over the years, he only needed to pay off around two million in loans.

A loan of two million was only a matter of four to five years with his yearly salary of eighty thousand. Fu Zi's parents were increasingly satisfied with Meng Xiaoyang, almost wishing to marry off their daughter right there, while Ding Minghui's face grew gloomier. Meng Xiaoyang had been observing Fu Zi's expressions. He noticed subtle changes in her gaze whenever he mentioned his income and financial capability. "There's hope!" But what he didn't know was that Fu Zi's expression only showed her care for Ding Minghui. The better Meng Xiaoyang appeared, the harder it would be for them to convince her parents. "The food is here. You all must be hungry after chatting for so long?" Meng Xiaoyang said, "Let's eat first. I'm sorry, Brother Ding, since I didn't know you would be here, I only ordered for four. Would you like to check the menu and order something? This meal is on me!" Meng Xiaoyang spoke as if he had already won a victory; seeing Ding Minghui bowing his head and not speaking was proof of his thorough win! "Holy crap! Look, a Rolls-Royce just pulled up outside!" Suddenly, some young people in the restaurant exclaimed in admiration. Their attention was drawn in that direction as well; it was a brand-new Rolls-Royce Wraith, which must have cost millions with all fees. Even if he didn't spend a cent on anything else, he wouldn't earn that much in decades. Then, a man in a suit who looked like a chauffeur came out of the car and walked into the restaurant. The server immediately opened the door; although just a driver, driving such a car meant he wasn't just an ordinary driver! "Could the owner of that car be in the restaurant?" Everyone's gaze followed the chauffeur until he reached a table by the window, and under Ding Minghui's surprised and bewildered eyes, approached him. "Mr. Ding!" ```
