16: Mr. Su, who is still a minor character
Chapter 16: Mr. Su, Still a Minor Character
Upon returning to the past, the first thing Li Zhiyan did was to find Xiao Li.
Looking at an internet cafe nearby, Li Zhiyan rented a computer.
He skillfully logged in, opened the QQ account he had applied for last time, and sent a QQ message to Xiao Li.
"Xiao Li, I'm back. Come to Dream Internet Cafe."
Soon, Xiao Li arrived.
He also rented a computer and sat next to Li Zhiyan.
"Brother Li, you're here."
Xiao Li handed Li Zhiyan a bottle of mineral water and logged onto his computer.
"Hmm, you've become handsomer."
Li Zhiyan could tell that Xiao Li's demeanor was much more confident now, completely unlike a greenhorn.
Money, indeed, was the source of a man's confidence.
"What are we doing this time?"
Li Zhiyan opened the map on Qiandu.
"We're going to Zhejiang."
Hearing that they were going to Zhejiang...
Xiao Li looked a bit excited. For so long, he had never left Hui Prefecture.
This time, he finally got to go out and see the world.
"Alright, I already told my parents a few days ago that I'm working a summer job."
"So now I can stay out for many days."
"When school starts, I'll be much freer."
"Then I can pass through a field of flowers, focusing on the body, not the heart."
Li Zhiyan wasn't surprised by Xiao Li's change in thinking.
It was normal to be a bit arrogant with such achievements at a young age.
His arrival had changed him, and in this regard, he didn't need to interfere with his thoughts.
"What are we going to Zhejiang for?"
Li Zhiyan searched for Mr. Su online, but there was no news.
"To find a Mr. Su, a person with a very powerful background in the future."
"To see what stage of development he is in now."
"To use information asymmetry to build a good relationship with him."
"Of course, it's also to solve my mother-in-law's troubles."
"This experiment is very important. If it succeeds, we will truly be worry-free in the future."
Xiao Li now also understood the importance of having a background to protect oneself.
"Then let's go."
"This must be done well."
Li Zhiyan searched online for law firms in Qiantang District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang.
He had them investigate the current Mr. Su.
...
The taxi driver drove very fast. Before they even reached their destination, the law firm called.
"Sir, have you arrived in Qiantang District yet?"
"The matter you entrusted us with has been fully investigated."
"Let's meet in person."
After the other end gave the address, Li Zhiyan had the driver go to the law firm.
Getting out of the car, Xiao Li looked at everything nearby with great curiosity.
"This place is developing really well, much better than our hometown. Teacher Ma is very famous now."
Li Zhiyan was quite familiar with Zhejiang...
"Of course, they all say Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai; the economic development of these three places is naturally very impressive."
"And Shenzhen, Imperial City are also very well-developed cities."
"However, many rich people here have gone to the Magic City or Shenzhen."
After the two arrived at the law firm.
Someone ran out from inside.
"Are you Mr. Li?"
Looking at Li Zhiyan, who was wearing sunglasses, a disheveled staff member asked.
"It's me."
"The information you requested has been collected for you. The commission is what we agreed upon."
Li Zhiyan glanced at Xiao Li.
"Pay up."
As the two left the law firm with the documents.
Xiao Li complained, "This industry is really a huge profit."
Walking, he wiped his sweat. Although it was autumn, the weather was getting hotter and hotter.
"This is normal. Some things ordinary people really can't do. Some industries exist for a reason."
Li Zhiyan took Xiao Li to a tea house.
Opening the file bag, Mr. Su's information inside was very detailed.
Including his life history, relatives, friends, and other information, all were very detailed.
"Su Jinan's mother is still alive, but according to his current life trajectory, his mother is probably going to die."
"The cause of death is heart disease..."
"Then the opportunity has come."
"Let's first think about what to do."
"However, my image does need to be changed."
Li Zhiyan bought some cosmetics at a cosmetic store and had the boss make him look a bit older.
He also put on a fake mustache, making him instantly look ten years older.
The boss kept praising how much the twins looked alike.
After all this was done, Li Zhiyan found a printing shop and made a document that could help Su Jinan.
As it was almost time to get off work, the two arrived near Su Jinan's home.
Finally, they opened a bank card and deposited 1.2 million yuan into it.
And then...
With absolute information asymmetry, plus helping Su Jinan's mother with her illness, things went incredibly smoothly.
Su Jinan quickly regarded Xiao Li as an extraordinary figure who would help him rise.
And he was also his mother's savior.
This matter was also completed very easily.
Li Zhiyan felt a little excited in his heart. Next was to return to the future and use his connections.
After the two left Su Jinan's home.
Li Zhiyan sighed, "I hope this time goes smoothly..."
There were plenty of opportunities to make money, but a background was what truly determined whether two people could stand as firm as a mountain.
"Alright, I can go back now."
"Xiao Li, how are the houses you were told to keep an eye on before?"
Hearing Li Zhiyan mention houses.
Xiao Li frowned...
"I've been paying attention and trying to acquire them, and even raised the price a bit, but no one is selling. Maybe I won't be able to buy any other houses."
Li Zhiyan didn't take it seriously.
"It doesn't matter. The demolition compensation is just a small amount of short-term money, to be frank."
"It doesn't matter whether we can acquire them or not."
"As long as the background is strong enough, there will be many more ways to make money in the future."
Xiao Li nodded, his expression very serious.
"I understand, Brother Li. You go back first. I plan to play in Zhejiang for two days, then go home."
"Now I'm really looking forward to life after school starts."
"I still can't let loose now."
Li Zhiyan and Xiao Li exchanged a few more words, then slowly disappeared from this time and space.
...
After waking up, Li Zhiyan's consciousness slowly cleared.
"I've returned to the past again, and I've started to lay the groundwork for my connections."
Li Zhiyan opened his phone and saw a text message about an expenditure of 1.2 million yuan.
"Last time, there was no expenditure for real estate investment, but this time there was. Does this mean the impact of this investment has arrived?"
After thinking for a moment, he opened his phone contacts.
Scrolling down to the letter S.
He saw a new contact.
Su Jinan.
"Indeed!"
Then, Li Zhiyan dialed Su Jinan's number.
Once he confirmed there were no issues, he could go to Zhejiang.
...
Zhejiang, Qiantang District.
In a bustling area, inside a commercial residence, Su Jinan was washing up when he heard his wife at the dining table call out, "Husband, someone called you."
"Just leave it. I'll call back later."
Looking at the caller ID, Mrs. Su said, "It's Mr. Li calling. I'll hang up first."
Su Jinan instantly sobered up.
The person who had never contacted him actually called!
He understood very well!
If it weren't for Mr. Li, how could he have reached his current position?
And his mother wouldn't have lived for more than ten extra years.
"Don't hang up!"
Su Jinan ran out somewhat anxiously.
"Mr. Li, after all these years, you finally called me."
Upon hearing this voice, Li Zhiyan knew that everything was settled and his plan was completely feasible.
"I am not Mr. Li, however, I am representing Mr. Li and will be going to Zhejiang."
"Mr. Su, let's meet in Zhejiang."
Hearing this, Su Jinan immediately responded.
"Yes, please come. When you need me, give me a call, and I'll be there immediately."
After hanging up the phone, Su Jinan sat down.
"Who was that, husband?"
"It was the person who guided me back then."
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, all these years he had felt an invisible giant hand constantly pushing him upward.
All the content and directions in that document were correct.
He absolutely could not afford to offend this Mr. Li, and he owed him a great debt of gratitude.
Even if he asked him to walk into a trap, he would have to accept it.
"It was that gentleman."
Mrs. Su also sat down, feeling a tremor in her heart.
