In the evening, Luofeng finally finished responding to the many birthday wishes. It was mainly several girls, along with a few buddies, who knew his birthday. Of course, that included Big Cat from Capital City, Little Fairy, and others. Li Bo Kai, Chen Dali, and Lin Xiaoyun naturally knew as well.

As for the gold-diggers looking for a bargain? They could go wash up and sleep. Luofeng had never told them his birthday, so how could he receive their blessings?

However, Luofeng had made a miscalculation. Among these gold-diggers, some had indeed found out his birthday through various channels. But Luofeng simply replied with a "thank you."

Around 11 o’clock, Luofeng lay down to rest. His reward then arrived.

And what was the reward? It was, of course, the "One Family" Prop Card Luofeng had used before. The task required the whole family to spend a sweet and harmonious day together at home. The requirements included harmony, maternal affection, and the like. Of course, this wasn’t the only reason Luofeng chose to stay home for his birthday; he would have stayed home anyway, even without the Prop Card.

DING! Host has received a business secret!

Luofeng chuckled. He loved this kind of thing. After all, a business secret might be a bit troublesome, unlike the Billion Descendants Prop Card where you could just... COUGH COUGH COUGH. In any case, he’d easily gained tens of millions from that. But while business secrets were troublesome, managing them well could yield more money. Plus, Luofeng enjoyed the sense of participation and accomplishment. That was good, wasn’t it?

Luofeng started to check it out.

This time, the business secret was actually about Honda cars? It detailed Honda’s strategy of regional discrimination? Honda cars sold in Sakura Country, America, and Europe were the genuine articles. However, those sold in Daxia and Southeast Asia all had issues with cut corners and shoddy workmanship. According to the secret, Honda’s best-selling Honda Civic in Daxia had serious issues with cut corners, especially concerning the material strength of the critical A, B, and C pillars. Modern cars adopt a monocoque or ’cage-like’ body structure, where the A, B, and C pillars, along with the car body, form a high-strength cage to protect the occupants. Typically, if a vehicle sustains a heavy impact, this cage structure is designed to maintain its integrity and protect the people inside. What if such a structure was compromised due to cut corners? One could imagine the consequences with half a brain, right?

Luofeng looked up information online. He found that there had been early mentions online about Honda cutting corners. But then these stories had vanished without a trace? Furthermore, there was no media coverage? Honda cars still enjoyed high sales in the country and even had a very good reputation. This was deeply unsettling to consider. Given this situation, using the same tactic he employed against Anessa—exposing it online—definitely wouldn’t work. The internet was already rife with scandals about that car company. Even if specific flaws were pointed out, the media ignored them, and consumers seemed to think, ’If everyone is buying them, they must be fine.’ They didn’t consider these issues significant. Instead, they steadfastly believed in Honda.

"You there?" Luofeng quickly sent a message in his buddies’ group chat.

Li Bo Kai: Damn, Brother Feng, you actually surfaced? I thought you’d be having a big birthday bash. Didn’t expect you to have time to show up here!

Chen Dali: School isn’t off. I’m silently envious of you guys.

Lin Xiaoyun: Brother Feng, is Shanghai fun?

Luofeng: I never make a big deal out of my birthday!

Today, he had received a lot of blessings. These included messages from Little Fairy, Duanmu Yunji, and Bai Ningbing, as well as the Shangguan Sisters and Qin Rubing. Naturally, there was one from Su Meiji too. This girl was always busy, and gradually, Luofeng had come to understand the power of her family—something he clearly couldn’t contend with. Thinking back to when I was just a loser who had nothing but the recently acquired System... And I actually spent several hours with *her* like that. Damn it, so worth it!

Of course, her birthday gift wasn’t money or anything practical, but a photo she sent him of herself in a very pretty outfit.

As for Chen Ruoxi, hers was, of course, a toy Gift sent by mail—costing tens of thousands. Luofeng had promised to find time to ’get together’ with her. She was looking forward to it, obviously eager for that delightful experience again.

Luofeng messaged, "Guys, when do you have a vacation?"

Li Bo Kai: I failed a subject, you know the deal.

Lin Xiaoyun: I’ve been on holiday for a while. I plan to go to Shanghai for fun. My cousin Wan Ting invited me over. Chen Dali and I will go together.

Luofeng: If you come, I’ll definitely play host, but don’t put me on the spot, you know what I mean.

Chen Dali: Know what?

Lin Xiaoyun: ???????

Li Bo Kai: Yeah, what do you mean??????

Luofeng: Playing dumb? Just know I’m a good guy, alright?

Lin Xiaoyun: I feel sick!

Li Bo Kai: I’m begging you, stop being such a flirt!

Chen Dali: I think Qin Rubing and Miss Ferrari would believe you’re a good guy!

After all, if they didn’t believe it, they wouldn’t let Luofeng have them on each arm, would they? Anyway, even though Luofeng wasn’t actually in such a situation with them at the moment... it seemed like everyone assumed that was the case.

Luofeng: Let’s talk serious business.

With that, Luofeng posted several pictures in the group.

Luofeng: Take a look for yourselves first, then we’ll talk after you’ve seen them.

What Luofeng posted were links to the online dirt on Honda.

About three minutes passed.

Chen Dali was the first to start sending messages in the group chat.

Chen Dali: Damn it, Luofeng, Honda is too powerful. I don’t think we can take them on. Are you kidding? One of the world’s top-selling automotive companies? How could we possibly mess with them? I have to say, Japan is really Awesome when it comes to cars. At least five of the top ten best-selling car brands are theirs, right?

Lin Xiaoyun: I agree, I don’t think we can do it!

Li Bo Kai: If it’s Honda, this online dirt alone probably won’t be enough to touch them!

Chen Dali: Luofeng, wait a minute, I’m going to ask about the Honda situation.

Lin Xiaoyun: I’ll ask around too.

Li Bo Kai: I’ll make some inquiries as well.

Luofeng: Okay, go ahead.

While the three of them went to gather information, Luofeng continued to look through the news. This included Honda’s market value, stock information, and other related data.
