Chapter 38: 038 Endless Nonsense
 

Gu Wanzhou began to doubt whether she was seeing things, hallucinating.

Was it because she hadn’t been sleeping well lately?

But after confirming several times, Gu Wanzhou finally realized.

She wasn’t seeing things; everything was real.

My goodness, I didn’t expect that Li Zhiyan’s most terrifying talent would turn out to be this!

But why hadn’t she noticed this talent in the kid before.

Then again, she had never really paid attention.

She looked at her fingers, then at Li Zhiyan.

Gu Wanzhou felt her heart pounding.

Feeling that Gu Wanzhou wanted to help her get the internet cafe going, Li Zhiyan grew fonder of her.

Aunt Gu, Auntie Rao; they were truly kind to her from the bottom of their hearts.

Unlike those young girls whose minds were preoccupied with how to get money from her.

Or whether she had any value they could exploit.

“By the way, Aunt Gu, about the matter of considering dating we talked about earlier, how are you coming along with that?”

Looking at the fruitful results before Gu Wanzhou.

Li Zhiyan felt a bit envious.

After Auntie Rao had given her a good talking-to before.

Lately, Li Zhiyan’s dreams had been getting weirder and weirder.

He knew it might be because he was too young; at 18, you always have too much energy with nowhere to channel it.

“Auntie will consider it carefully…”

“Honey, these things take a long time to think about.”

“Can you give Auntie a bit more time?”

Because she was afraid of being overheard,

Gu Wanzhou too leaned in close to Li Zhiyan’s ear to speak.

After all, if others saw a mature woman and a young boy talking about dating, they’d definitely think there was something wrong with their heads.

How could Li Zhiyan not realize that Gu Wanzhou was attempting to give him the cold shoulder, yet her heart couldn’t break through that barrier.

After all, an 18-year-old and a 41-year-old have a 23-year gap between them, even if she looks so beautiful and mature now.

But as a normal woman with a career, she definitely had many aspects to consider.

Especially since he had pursued Yu Sisi.

This fact lay between them like a rift; he really shouldn’t be too hasty.

“Alright, Aunt Gu, take your time to consider it.”

Li Zhiyan gently grabbed Gu Wanzhou’s hand.

The silky sensation transmitted to him, and Li Zhiyan was somewhat reluctant to let go. If only Aunt Gu could give him a lesson on this knowledge.

Glancing at the clock on the wall.

Gu Wanzhou felt a bit reluctant, knowing she had to part ways with the young boy.

“Auntie’s company still has matters to attend to, I have to go for now.”

“Mhm.”

After watching Gu Wanzhou leave, Li Zhiyan checked the system prompt.

He needed to clear out the remaining customers quickly; the system was about to start upgrading the internet cafe.

Li Zhiyan shouted to the dozen or so regulars inside the cafe.

“Guys, the cafe will be closing for three days for a system upgrade.”

“When you all come back, each person will be compensated 100 yuan for internet fees.”

“Everyone, come over here and register your member accounts!”

At Brotherhood Internet Cafe, everyone could become a member, even kids like Brother Yan.

Hearing about the 100 yuan compensation, the addicted young gamers were all thrilled.

They lined up, one by one, to register.

Li Zhiyan and Li Shiyu were busy for a long time before they managed to register all the members who came to surf the internet that day.

After all was done,

Li Zhiyan locked the front door.

He took out two bottles of chilled drinks that Sun Ziyi had just put in the fridge, unscrewed them quickly, and gulped them down.

The exploding taste of cola in his mouth during this hot summer,

was just too comforting!

“Brother Yan, isn’t compensating 100 yuan for internet fees per person a bit too much? There were a full sixteen people just now,” said Li Shiyu.

Li Zhiyan replied casually, “A regular at the internet cafe,”

“is worth much more compared to 100 yuan of net fees.”

“After all, here in Wancheng, especially around our suburban area,”

“internet cafes are a dime a dozen. Why would people insist on coming to your rundown place? It’s all about habit.”

“If they get used to another cafe during these few days without compensation, they really won’t come back.”

Li Shiyu pondered the words.

“Brother Yan, you’re becoming more and more inscrutable,” he said.

“Now you even understand the principles of doing business. Now that you mention it, there’s some truth in that, The long-term consumption of these customers will amass a very large sum indeed, and it’s important to retain them.”

“So about the upgrade, do you need me to keep an eye on things here?”

It wasn’t possible for Li Shiyu to stay and watch over the upgrade of the cafe.

“No need for that, you keep playing games at Fantasy Internet Cafe during these days.”

“Call you over when it’s all set here. And later, I will post a recruitment ad for a network administrator by the door.”

“Leave your phone number; you’ll start as the store manager from today.”

“And after school starts back up, we’ll pick one of these network administrators with strong work capabilities to replace you.”

Hearing that he was going to be the manager, Li Shiyu couldn’t help but puff out his chest, proud. Manager sounded like such a prestigious title!

“Come on, Brother Yan, let’s go to the restroom.”

It’s a common habit for boys to go to the restroom together.

Feeling the urge to go as well, Li Zhiyan followed Li Shiyu to the small restroom at the back.

Just like always, Li Shiyu whistled while using the restroom.
