13: Meet Bai Yueguang again

When Li Zhiyan returned home, it was already quite late.

He went to his study and continued to accumulate wealth knowledge.

At the same time, he was also thinking about how to manage his connections.

Just having money is far from enough; one must have a strong enough background to move unimpeded in this society.

"Which company should I find to investigate the past of those important figures? It's not really a secret; perhaps I should find a law firm to do this…"

"Many times, a bit of background energy is worth tens of millions in cash flow."

While Li Zhiyan was contemplating his future, Zhao Manman's video message popped up again.

Li Zhiyan was not surprised by this; after all, Ji Zhiting was still quite young.

It was the first day of her enrollment, and her mother must have been worried.

The video connected, and Zhao Manman's pretty face appeared on the phone screen.

"Mom."

Looking at Zhao Manman's fair skin, Li Zhiyan was reminded that Ji Zhiting was also that fair.

This was the source of Ji Zhiting's genes.

However, there seemed to be some worry between Zhao Manman's brows; Li Zhiyan could now tell that Zhao Manman had encountered something troubling.

"Xiao Yan, has Tingting's enrollment been settled? Her sister is very busy now, so if you have nothing else to do, you should visit her at school often."

Li Zhiyan indeed needed to visit Cai University more often.

"Don't worry, Mom, Xiao Ting is my younger sister; I'll definitely visit her often."

"Today, I had dinner with her roommates. They'll tell me if anything happens, so please rest assured."

Zhao Manman nodded.

Li Zhiyan always felt a strange sense of nervousness in front of Zhao Manman.

In front of Li Zhiyan, she always exuded an aura that made people feel she was high above and must be respected.

Because she was Li Zhiyan's elder.

"Xiao Yan, Mom is very confident in your ability to handle things."

Looking at his mother-in-law, who had a slight frown, Li Zhiyan asked, "Mom, have you encountered something?"

"A business problem?"

Zhao Manman didn't expect Li Zhiyan to be so observant.

"Sort of. I opened a new beauty salon."

"But some procedures are always getting stuck, and people come to inspect hygiene every now and then, preventing the store from operating normally. Even after pulling some strings, it hasn't been resolved."

After saying that, Zhao Manman regretted it. Why was she telling Li Zhiyan all this…

Telling him would only make him anxious for nothing.

"Did you offend someone?"

Zhao Manman thought about it; it seemed to be related to her admirer.

His background was not ordinary; no matter what, someone was deliberately making things difficult for her.

"Perhaps. But Xiao Yan, you don't need to think so much about it."

"Things will always be resolved. You just live well in Magic City."

"You don't need to worry about things here in Zhejiang."

Li Zhiyan thought for a moment and said, "Mom, I might be able to help you solve this matter."

Zhao Manman was good to him; now that she was in trouble, he should indeed repay her well.

Through the system's rules, he was confident he could resolve this.

"Don't think so much about the things here. Take good care of your sister."

Zhao Manman knew Li Zhiyan's capabilities.

Things that she couldn't solve even after pulling many strings, Li Zhiyan couldn't possibly solve, let alone in Zhejiang.

"I understand, Mom. I'll go to Zhejiang to play for a few days and visit you. Oh, by the way, Mom, where is your beauty salon located?"

"Okay, I know. Tell Mom when you're coming, and Mom will pick you up."

"The store is on Furong Road. You don't need to worry."

Although Zhao Manman's voice was very gentle, it always carried a subtle, almost imperceptible, elder's authority.

Which made Li Zhiyan subconsciously a little reserved.

After hanging up the video call…

Li Zhiyan searched for some information online.

All information was public now, and soon, Li Zhiyan found the person with the most significant background managing matters related to Zhao Manman's beauty salon.

After contacting a law firm, Li Zhiyan stated his requirements.

The other party quickly accepted Li Zhiyan's commission.

…

Soon, Li Zhiyan added Haoye Law Firm's WeChat.

He sent over some key points to be investigated to the other side.

Then he paid the deposit. After everything was done, Li Zhiyan felt very expectant.

According to the system's rules, he would gain connections.

The next day, when Li Zhiyan woke up, he casually ate something and then started researching materials in his study again.

By around 5 PM, the WeChat group was already incredibly lively.

Zhao Hongbin: "@everyone, classmates, I have arrived at Haitian Hotel, and a few other classmates have also arrived. Those attending the gathering who haven't arrived yet, hurry up! If you encounter any trouble on the way, let us know in the group, and we'll help solve it together."

Huang Feiming: "On Didi now, almost there! Has the goddess arrived?! @Zhou Lili, classmates have been talking about your past with Li Zhiyan for five years. This year you're meeting again. It seems you two never met at previous class gatherings, someone was always missing!"

After Huang Feiming said this, it immediately ignited a storm of discussion.

Basically, not many people dislike gossip. Now, the protagonists of the past confession incident were about to meet again.
