Chapter 39: 038 Endless Nonsense_2
 

Suddenly, his peripheral vision seemed to catch something.

Fuck!

Those two words!

Those were his inner thoughts!

He hadn’t expected Brother Yan to have such a gift. Why hadn’t he ever noticed it before!

But then again, it made sense since he wasn’t gay, how would he notice!

But still, this is way too awesome!

To use a line from his favorite hot TV series, Love Apartment 1.

This is what you’d call a man among men, the Lu Bu of Lu Bus!

…

In the evening, when he got back home,

Li Zhiyan told Zhou Rongrong about taking her money.

“Mom, I took four thousand from your savings box.”

“Hmm, Mom knows.”

Zhou Rongrong served the meal to Li Zhiyan, knowing her son loved the food she cooked.

“Don’t you want to ask me what happened?”

“You’re an adult now. You must have had a reason to take the money, and I trust you.”

“Mom, you’re so good to me.”

Zhou Rongrong gently touched Li Zhiyan’s face.

“You’re my son. If I’m not good to you, who would I be good to?”

“Mom’s got to go to bed, I have work tomorrow. You should sleep early too, son.”

Watching Zhou Rongrong’s retreating figure, Li Zhiyan felt a warm sensation in his heart. His current life might be ordinary, but it was happy.

After ten o’clock, Li Zhiyan lay in bed, his mind involuntarily drifting to Liu Yaolong’s mother.

He had never met Liu Yaolong’s mother, but according to what that bastard Li Shiyu said, she was very beautiful.

He wondered how she compared to Aunt Gu or Auntie Rao?

At that moment, Li Zhiyan couldn’t help feeling curious about why she had committed suicide later on.

Now that he had been reborn, was it possible…

to also save the class leader Tian Wenjing.

“Shit, it feels like I’m getting greedier by the day. Could it be that after turning 20, I have become evil.”

“Truly the evil Brother Tongzi!”

“My goal now should be to become a millionaire. With my two hundred thousand in savings wiped out, I have to start over.”

He opened the system to see if there were any new tasks available.

But the system showed that it was upgrading the internet cafe.

So for the time being, it probably wouldn’t release any new tasks.

“Then I might as well enjoy myself for a few days.”

Having walked a lot today and admired his progress,

Li Zhiyan drifted off to sleep in a daze.

He felt that from now on, he couldn’t refer to the system as the Wimpy System any longer, it should be called the Mighty System!

Although he slept soundly,

Gu Wanzhou was suffering from insomnia! Everything that happened today felt like a dream.

She learned that Li Zhiyan could speak French and had even made two hundred thousand.

That was two hundred thousand at the age of 18.

Of course, although this was shocking to her, it only made her think that Li Zhiyan was a genius.

It wasn’t what was keeping her awake at night. What was truly keeping her awake was what she had seen.

She looked at her fingers.

Gu Wanzhou felt her life had been turned upside down.

“Oh my God, let’s fix that makeup!”

…

In the following days, life was quite peaceful.

During these days, Gu Wanzhou was busy making phone calls and asking friends if they knew anyone who managed an internet cafe.

She wanted to know how to improve the business of the internet cafe.

Her level of effort was far greater than when she was helping her cousin sell the internet cafe.

On Li Zhiyan’s side, on the following day, the system notified him that the internet cafe’s upgrade was complete.

It also informed him that the rent for the internet cafe had been renewed.

But he wasn’t in a hurry and waited until the fourth day to contact Li Shiyu to go to the internet cafe together.

For these few days, there were no tasks refreshed, and Li Zhiyan suspected that perhaps the strong rewards and the internet cafe upgrade had overwhelmed Brother Tongzi. While he contemplated this,

a new task was released by the system.

“Class leader Fang Zhiya’s very traditional mother, because of her husband being imprisoned,

is being subjected to unwritten rules by the Xinli Company’s manager who withheld her wages.”

“Please help Fang Zhiya get her salary back.”

“Reward for the task, Fifty thousand in cash.”

“Networking in progress.”

“Xinli Company’s major shareholder, Liu Jingfeng, has now become your friend despite the age difference.”

Li Zhiyan was slightly stunned, having not expected that connections could be offered in such a manner.

That was good, it saved him the trouble; otherwise, it would have been difficult to help Fang Zhiya claim her wages.

But the system said Fang Zhiya was extremely traditional.

How traditional could she possibly be?

Gu Wanzhou was very resistant to holding hands, believing in the separation of genders.

If she didn’t see him as a child, the idea of him holding Aunt Gu’s hand would have been out of the question.

At the entrance to the internet cafe, Li Zhiyan met Li Shiyu, as well as a few network managers he had hired.

“Hello, boss!”

Today, Li Shiyu dressed in a flashy outfit, a black shirt paired with trousers and leather shoes, and even wore a tie.

Obviously, he was putting on a show for the role of the manager.

“Boss, we’ve hired four network managers, two men and two women, all ready to start as soon as the door opens for business.”

The two average-looking young girls didn’t seem to be very educated.

They looked at Li Zhiyan with admiration in their eyes.

Both 18, how come he could own his own internet cafe? Having a boyfriend like that would mean not worrying about the future.

As for the meaning behind the girls’ gaze, how could Li Zhiyan not understand?

The instinct of women to admire strength has been present from ancient times to now.

However, he really had no interest in these flat-chested, naive girls.
