Chapter 28, The Difficult Intervillage Railway

After a brief pep talk by the management, they started distributing work tasks.

As for Viscount Autres, apart from appearing at the welcome banquet, he had vanished from everyone's sight, disappointing many who wanted to curry favor.

Ya Mani wasn't disappointed by this. With such a vast disparity in status and lack of outstanding talent, no amount of flattering could be of use.

The most crucial point was that Ya Mani didn't indulge in flattery and naturally didn't appreciate others climbing the ladder through sycophancy.

It wasn't just the high and mighty Lord, even the management staff responsible for allocating work had a large group of sycophants around them, wishing they could follow their every step.

It was proven that flattery also required talent, not just anyone could do it. Blindly trying to ingratiate oneself could backfire, instead of flattering, one might literally end up on the receiving end of a kick.
