348: weekend

Lin Zifeng returned to his dormitory, tidied up a bit, then left and headed towards his class teacher's Office.

He queued up behind the other students, and only after the student in front had received their leave permit did he walk into Li Jiaqiang's Office.

Seeing Lin Zifeng walk in, Li Jiaqiang, who was sitting behind the desk, smiled and said, "Zifeng, are you here to get a leave permit approved too?"

Lin Zifeng replied, "Yes, Teacher. A friend of mine is traveling in the capital, and I'm going to meet this friend. I was afraid of returning late, so I came early to ask for your approval."

"Wait a moment, I'll approve your leave permit right now.

I have already discussed it with the other teachers, and when classes start next week, I will report to the school leadership that there is no need to ask for leave to go out during the two days of the weekend.

As long as you return to the Party School before class on Monday, it will be fine.

After all, you are all department and section-level Cadres, and you are very self-disciplined. Many students are also locals of the capital and need to return home to reunite with their families.

If you have to ask for leave on the weekend after a week of classes, it's a bit too troublesome."

Li Jiaqiang said while signing the leave permit.

"You truly are considerate of us, Teacher! If that's the case, it will be much more convenient. Thank you, Teacher."

Lin Zifeng said while taking the leave permit that Li Jiaqiang handed over.

Li Jiaqiang nodded with satisfaction and signaled for Lin Zifeng to leave.

Lin Zifeng bade farewell to Li Jiaqiang, left his Office, and headed towards the main gate.

Just then, Wang Ziyan also called.

"Zifeng, have you come out yet? Yanran and I are waiting for you near the supermarket 200 meters outside the Party School! If you turn right after leaving the gate, you'll be able to find us."

"I just got my leave permit and am walking out now. It will take me at most five minutes to walk to the place you mentioned."

Lin Zifeng said into the microphone.

"See you in a bit then." After Wang Ziyan finished speaking, Lin Zifeng hung up, put away his phone, and continued walking briskly towards the outside.

At the main gate, Lin Zifeng ran into Zhang Chinglei, who was also going out. Zhang Chinglei, who was just about to get into his car, saw Lin Zifeng come out, stopped, and said to him, "Zifeng, where are you going? Let me give you a ride! A Comrade from our Organization Department came specifically to see me."

"No need, Brother Zhang. A friend is coming to pick me up. You go ahead and take care of your business!"

Lin Zifeng refused with a smile.

"Alright then, Zifeng. Let's get together another time." After Zhang Chinglei finished saying this, he got into the car.

Lin Zifeng walked in the other direction. After walking less than 200 meters, he saw a Bentley.

Seeing him approach, the window on the driver's side rolled down, revealing Li Yanran's flawless face.

Li Yanran waved at him while calling his name.

Lin Zifeng quickened his pace, opened the rear car door, and sat inside.

Li Yanran was driving, and Wang Ziyan was sitting in the passenger seat. Seeing Lin Zifeng get in, both women turned around at the same time.

Wang Ziyan spoke first, "Zifeng, how come it's only been a few days, but I feel like you've not only gotten fairer, but also have a bit more of a scholarly air about you?"

"Yanran is right. If someone said you were a college student now, surely no one would doubt it."

Li Yanran nodded and said in agreement.

"My study life at the Party School, although a bit monotonous, is much more leisurely compared to the busy work and schedule at my previous unit. It's like I've been given a long vacation, which is probably why I gave you that impression!"

Lin Zifeng said with a chuckle.

"According to you, the Party School has become a place for self-cultivation?"

Li Yanran said while driving.

"For me, that is indeed the case. Where are we going?"

"You'll know when we get there. Tomorrow Ziyan is leaving the capital to return to Huanan Province, so we need to have a good get-together today.

Originally, Sister Rulin was going to come too, but unfortunately, her husband returned home today, so she didn't come with us to pick you up.

However, she and her husband will go to the place we are heading to in a bit, including my younger brother, Li Dongliang.

That is, the other two people you saved back then.

The last time, time was tight, and they didn't have a chance to meet you. After Sister Rulin and I went back last time, we were complained about by them for a long time!

Let them thank you in person at the dinner table! You wouldn't deny them this opportunity, would you?"

"If I didn't agree, could I jump out of the moving car? Since they have such intentions, it's good to meet them, and I can make two more friends."

Lin Zifeng said nonchalantly.

Hearing what Lin Zifeng said, Li Yanran revealed a bright smile.

Wang Ziyan said with a smile, "How about that, Yanran? I told you Zifeng would agree, didn't I? You worried for nothing."

The three of them chatted and laughed all the way, and Li Yanran drove the car to a building without any sign.

After the three got out of the car, Lin Zifeng looked at the building in front of him and asked in confusion, "What kind of place is this? It's not a restaurant or a hotel?"

"This is a club I opened. Here, you can not only dine and have entertainment, but also soak in hot springs and stay overnight.

You can basically enjoy all kinds of legitimate services here, and only members can enter.

Furthermore, the most basic members here must top up five million annually. The membership here is divided into three levels: Silver, Gold, and Diamond."

Li Yanran introduced as she walked inside.

Hearing Li Yanran's introduction, Lin Zifeng couldn't help but think to himself that he hadn't expected this Li Yanran, whom he had saved back then, to actually be a super wealthy person.

Not only did she own an entertainment media company, but she also owned such a club that made money hand over fist. This might just be the tip of the iceberg of what she owned. You really can't judge a book by its cover!

Just as Lin Zifeng was lost in thought, Wang Ziyan said in disbelief, "Yanran, I didn't expect this club to be yours.

Just how rich are you? You really are a true wealthy, beautiful woman!"

"I haven't calculated it carefully, but two years ago my assets had already exceeded ten billion.

Zifeng, I have a large amount of capital in my hands and I also want to do some real industry. If you have any suitable investment projects in your local area, you can recommend them to me in the future."

Li Yanran revealed her financial strength and looked at Lin Zifeng with ulterior motives.

She wanted to repay Lin Zifeng with actual actions, which is why she expressed this idea.

Lin Zifeng's heart stirred. Being able to bring investment to Yushu City and better develop the local economy, he was naturally very willing.

But he also knew that Li Yanran wanted to repay him in this way.

So he quickly said, "Yanran, if you want to invest in our local area, I would of course welcome it with open arms.

But I don't want you to repay me in this way; otherwise, this whole thing would lose its meaning."
