195: I am your second aunt! Aunt Gu, don’t scare me! Trembling Zheng Yiyun

At this moment, Gu Wanzhou's heart was filled with panic.

But it was too late to stop anything.

However, because she had previously fed Li Zhiyan snacks, Gu Wanzhou didn't feel too embarrassed.

She had already gotten used to similar things happening between her and Li Zhiyan.

...

A long while later, Li Zhiyan lay on Gu Wanzhou's lap, whose pretty face was flushed.

He closed his eyes, feeling incredibly content.

Having a secretary by his side when there was nothing to do was truly convenient.

It genuinely saved a lot of trouble; the saying 'the secretary handles everything' was absolutely true.

"Li Zhiyan, you can't do this with Auntie anymore, you know? We agreed before that from now on, we would have an elder and junior relationship."

"That's why Auntie was willing to be your secretary."

Gu Wanzhou did this for her daughter, Yu Sisi.

If she were with Li Zhiyan, she might end up estranged from her daughter, Yu Sisi.

Yu Sisi was raised by her from a young age, and the bond between mother and daughter was undeniably deep.

Gu Wanzhou couldn't imagine such a consequence.

At the same time, she also understood very well in her heart...

She could never overcome the age gap.

"Aunt Gu, this is a work requirement to boost my enthusiasm for work."

"You are now the Chairman's Secretary of Yiyan Network."

"You can't disregard the company's development, can you?"

Listening to Li Zhiyan's rogue words, Gu Wanzhou felt very helpless in her heart; he was truly a troublesome fellow.

"Li Zhiyan, you..."

"Aunt Gu, I think work requirements must still be carried out."

Gu Wanzhou nodded helplessly.

"Alright... alright."

"But it's limited to this. Auntie lets you do these things only because of work requirements."

"There are no romantic feelings between a man and a woman, don't overthink it."

Li Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, if some things haven't been done before, it's very difficult to attempt them...

But once initiated, it becomes much easier to do them again.

At least he had to maintain this intimate relationship with Aunt Gu.

Only then would it be convenient to take it further in the future.

"I understand, Aunt Gu..."

"Please lower your head."

Gu Wanzhou lowered her head, her pretty face slightly flushed with embarrassment.

Then, Li Zhiyan wrapped his arms around Gu Wanzhou's neck again and kissed her red lips.

"Li Zhiyan, why again...?"

"Aunt Gu, this is a work requirement."

Li Zhiyan said indistinctly.

...

A long time later, Li Zhiyan and Gu Wanzhou went to the company cafeteria for dinner.

Li Zhiyan's Yiyan Network, under the system's maintenance, operated at the standard of a true internet giant.

Things like a company cafeteria were certainly equipped.

"Hello, Boss."

"Hello, Secretary Gu."

Employees on the way all greeted Li Zhiyan.

Even though it wasn't her first day working at the company, Gu Wanzhou still felt very unaccustomed; she realized that her status seemed to have undergone a terrifying leap in a very short time.

She had gone from being the boss of a small company to the Chairman's Secretary of Yiyan Network, all because of a single thought from Li Zhiyan.

This child had truly grown to a point where she could only look up to him.

After sitting down in the executive area of the cafeteria, the executives also enthusiastically greeted the two, but none dared to approach.

Soon after, a waiter brought over menus for them to order.

This was a special perk provided by Yiyan Network for the company's executives.

All expenses were also covered by the system; Li Zhiyan didn't need to concern himself with it at all.

After ordering, Gu Wanzhou looked at Li Zhiyan sitting opposite her, and she felt a sense of time flowing backward.

She felt like she was back in the past...

Last summer, she sat in a teahouse, thinking about educating Li Zhiyan, which, of course, she didn't succeed in doing.

But at that time, she was a boss driving a Benz E.

And Li Zhiyan was just an ordinary high school graduate. In just half a year,

their relationship had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Now, her status completely depended on him.

Her current position at Yiyan Network was very special; even executives and CEO Wang Chong dared not offend her.

They all knew that her relationship with Li Zhiyan was unusual.

She might very well be his second aunt or something similar.

Many people in the company now rumored that she was Li Zhiyan's second aunt.

"Li Zhiyan, time really flies. In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and Auntie truly never expected to become your secretary."

"You've also grown from a little rascal into someone Auntie hardly recognizes."

Gu Wanzhou stroked Li Zhiyan's head, which made many nearby executives even more certain of the company's rumors.

This Secretary Li was his second aunt.

"You still haven't agreed to be my girlfriend, even now."

Li Zhiyan's voice carried a hint of helplessness.

Gu Wanzhou's face was a bit red, but fortunately, the other executives didn't dare to approach, so no one else could hear what Li Zhiyan was saying.

This boy, he really was always thinking about her; he was so devoted.

"Li Zhiyan, stop talking nonsense..."

Li Zhiyan also knew when to stop and didn't continue to push Gu Wanzhou too hard.

If he eased up, there would be room for things to turn around, but if he pushed too hard, their relationship could end in a very short time. Li Zhiyan also understood very clearly the principle of taking a long-term view.

Some things, it's better to take them slowly, Li Zhiyan thought to himself.

"Li Zhiyan, do you know what Auntie's identity is at the company now?"

Looking at Li Zhiyan opposite her, Gu Wanzhou remembered the very interesting things that had happened recently, and she couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"What identity?"

"Li Zhiyan, actually, I'm your second aunt."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyan subconsciously said, "Aunt Gu, don't scare me."

"I don't want you to become my second aunt."

Li Zhiyan had always wanted to be with Gu Wanzhou.

But he quickly reacted; although Gu Wanzhou was very beautiful, she absolutely could not be his second aunt.

His mother was an only child...

"Haha, look how scared you are."

"Are you really that afraid of Auntie becoming your second aunt?"

"Of course I'm afraid. If I were with you now,"

"at most, it would be an age difference, but if you became my second aunt, that would be an ethical issue."

Gu Wanzhou chuckled and said, "Auntie was just joking with you. It's just that people in the company are guessing why Auntie became your secretary."

"Auntie's status now is the highest, besides Zhou Taihou and you."

"So they all guess that Auntie is your second aunt."

"Then let them think that."

Li Zhiyan said indifferently.

Soon, the cafeteria staff brought the dishes Gu Wanzhou ordered, and at this moment, Li Zhiyan was already thinking about the reporting matter for the evening.

"Oh, you..."

Gu Wanzhou felt a little exasperated. After the food arrived, she first served herself a bowl of soup.

Although they had been exchanging saliva during their long kiss, it was only an internal replenishment.

So now she needed to drink more water to rehydrate.

"Aunt Gu, I'll come over often from now on."

Gu Wanzhou hummed in acknowledgment, feeling a sense of admiration for Li Zhiyan's talent. Only after coming to the company did she realize that all the decisions for Yiyan Network were made by Li Zhiyan himself.

At 18, to be so decisive in handling affairs, with such forward-thinking decision-making, it was simply flawless. Only a genius like Li Zhiyan could achieve this.

"Okay, Li Zhiyan."

"Auntie will be waiting for you at the company from now on."

As she spoke, Gu Wanzhou's face felt a little hot. How did that sound so much like she was waiting for Li Zhiyan to come find her to do those strange things?

No, it couldn't be called strange things...

According to Li Zhiyan, this was a work requirement.

"Aunt Gu, when I come over in the future, you must prepare snacks. That way, I'll have the motivation to work."

Li Zhiyan decided that he would come to the company to eat snacks when he had nothing to do.

"Mmm..."

...

In the evening, Li Zhiyan drove to Brothers Foot Bath City.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance, he saw someone who surprised him a little: Zheng Yiyun.

Their relationship had actually already broken down.

Because money was involved, Zheng Yiyun, that gold-digger, felt that she and Li Zhiyan no longer had any affection left.

Although there was no longer any relationship.

However, Li Zhiyan looked at Zheng Yiyun's profile, which closely resembled Gao Yuanyuan.

He still couldn't help but feel a twenty percent liking.

"Aunt Zheng, you're here too."

Li Zhiyan still greeted Zheng Yiyun; Li Zhiyan was polite to everyone, even when facing Yin Xueyang, he would speak to her very politely.

But what he did afterward was his own freedom.

"Hmm."

Zheng Yiyun looked at Li Zhiyan's foot bath city with a somewhat complex expression.

In fact, deep down, she still greatly admired Li Zhiyan; he had achieved so much at such a young age.

One could say he was 'young and promising,' a phrase that seemed tailor-made for Li Zhiyan.

However, if Li Zhiyan conflicted with her financial fortune, she would undoubtedly help her husband deal with Li Zhiyan.

Their relationship was now very distant.

Then, Li Zhiyan walked directly into the foot bath city.

Looking at Li Zhiyan's back, Zheng Yiyun's expression was also somewhat complex.

But soon, her heart completely firmed up.

Anyone, as long as money was involved, she would absolutely treat them as an enemy.

Her Porsche, Prada,

and Chanel, etc.

were the meaning of her life. If she didn't have money, she truly couldn't live for a single day.

"Li Zhiyan, don't blame Auntie this time..."

...

Liu Yan saw the boss arrive and enthusiastically welcomed him.

"Boss."

"Your friend, Li Shiyu, is in private room 999."

Li Zhiyan: "..."

This kid, he really was a born Bath Emperor.

"Alright, I know."

"Boss, will Pan Yunhu make any moves against us? I know his influence is great, and he's quite a figure in the entire Wan City."

"I'm afraid he might use some extreme methods against us..."

As she spoke, Liu Yan still felt a little scared. She had known many people when she was a madam before and had heard of Pan Yunhu's reputation. This Pan Yunhu really had some tricks up his sleeve.

"Don't worry, just take good care of the shop."

"Leave the rest to me."

Looking at Li Zhiyan's confident demeanor, Liu Yan's heart gradually settled down.

Although she didn't know the boss's background, he was 18 years old, drove a Benz, and ran such a large foot bath city.

His own background was beyond doubt...

Since he was so confident, it meant that the boss truly had the ability to contend with Pan Yunhu. She just needed to do her part, and with that thought, a huge weight was lifted from Liu Yan's heart.

...

After Li Zhiyan pushed open the door and entered private room 999, he heard his best friend chatting with the female technician.

Li Zhiyan could understand his best friend.

He hadn't received any care for so many years, and now that there was a place where someone could talk to him, it was perfectly normal for him to like coming here.

"Brother Yan, you're here."

"You're not doing part-time jobs to earn money anymore, just coming to get foot massages all day."

Li Zhiyan lay down on another chair.

Soon, a technician came in and prepared a basin of water for Li Zhiyan.

"Tonight, I'm working overtime tonight."

Li Shiyu was clearly a bit embarrassed.

"Brother Yan, how's that bastard opposite us? He hasn't caused you any trouble, has he?"

"If there's a fight, you absolutely must call me."

Li Zhiyan couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness towards his best friend, who only thought about fighting. This kid...

"No fighting. I've already received news that he plans to report my foot bath city for illegal activities."

Upon hearing this, Li Shiyu immediately said, "That's nonsense! This place is more legitimate than anywhere else; how could I not know!"

"Let him report, but Brother Yan, you're really amazing! Such a legitimate Brothers Foot Bath City is full every day."

"It's truly impressive."

In Li Shiyu's heart, Li Zhiyan was synonymous with genius.

Whatever he did, he basically succeeded in everything; there was nothing Li Zhiyan couldn't do.

"Brother Yan, what should we do then? That bastard is targeting Brothers Foot Bath City; we can't just not fight back, can we?"

Li Zhiyan smiled.

"Of course we have to fight back."

After washing his feet, the technician helped Li Zhiyan dry them, then began to massage him.

Li Zhiyan opened his phone and found Mr. Zhang's number.

Pan Yunhu's connections in this area were indeed good.

So he needed to find Mr. Zhang from the neighboring district to report.

"Hello, Old Brother Zhang."

"It's like this..."

"I want to report Cloud Tiger Foot Bath City."

"There are illegal activities there. Their second floor has a password door that leads to a secret room on the first floor."

"There are over a dozen rooms there, and all of them involve illegal activities."

The reporting materials given to Li Zhiyan by the system were very detailed, so Li Zhiyan knew Pan Yunhu's foot bath city's situation clearly.

This Pan Yunhu was so ruthless towards him, trying to make him lose everything right away. Even without the two million reward from the mission, he would absolutely not let Pan Yunhu off the hook.

"Okay, okay."

Mr. Zhang and Li Zhiyan were very good friends.

After all, the system was miraculous.

So the other side quickly promised to severely crack down on illegal activities tonight.

"Great, Brother Yan, it has to be you."

“That's how you deal with them.”

Li Shiyu was extremely excited; such matters were very distant to him, but listening to Li Zhiyan make a phone call beside him, he felt a sense of involvement.

“Alright, let's get a massage.”

After the massage, the technician left.

Li Zhiyan then lectured his good brother again.

Li Zhiyan truly couldn't forget the time in his previous life when he was Wang Xinyue's simp.

“Brother, in the future, you should come for massages less often and not put so much energy into women.”

“It's fine as entertainment, but you need to earn more money.”

“Only with money can you dominate in front of women.”

Li Zhiyan still hoped his best friend could work harder so he could give him a higher position in the future.

If he didn't have the ability, even if Li Zhiyan wanted to help him, it wouldn't work.

Li Shiyu nodded seriously; he had also understood this problem.

“I know, Brother Yan, don’t worry.”

Afterward, the two chatted, waiting for someone to come and raid for prostitution.

Just then, Yu Sisi's call came in.

Seeing Yu Sisi call him, Li Zhiyan was momentarily stunned.

What's going on…

Yu Sisi would actually contact him at this hour. After thinking for a moment, Li Zhiyan still pressed the answer button.

Li Zhiyan truly didn't care about others.

But Yu Sisi, in the future, was his eldest daughter.

As a father, he still had to give Yu Sisi some face.

“Hello.”

“Li Zhiyan…”

After the call connected, Yu Sisi's voice on the other end was a bit flustered.

“It’s like this.”

“I want to tell you something.”

In her dorm, Yu Sisi felt she didn't have that much courage.

The scene where Yu Sisi confessed to Li Zhiyan at Yiyan Internet Cafe and was rejected by him.

Yu Sisi felt she could never forget it.

And recently, Yu Sisi realized how wrong she had been before. Her behavior of leading Li Zhiyan on was simply worse than a beast. Only after being rejected did she feel that kind of pain.

Beside Yu Sisi, several roommates were gathered, listening to her conversation.

“Go ahead.”

Li Zhiyan didn't know what Yu Sisi wanted to do.

“It’s like this.”

“There’s a rich second-generation heir pursuing me. His family is in the real estate business.”

Li Zhiyan paused, then asked, “Is it Jinfeng Real Estate?”

Li Zhiyan knew that during the last shop smashing incident, Li Jinfeng had put in a lot of effort.

Originally, Yin Xueyang had no way to deal with him, but she went to Li Jinfeng and found that group of ruthless bandits to smash his shop.

“How did you know?!”

At this moment, Yu Sisi was also stunned, and at the same time, her heart was filled with a feeling of ecstasy.

Could it be that Li Zhiyan was secretly paying attention to her?

Otherwise, how would he know Jinfeng Real Estate and blurt it out subconsciously?

That's right. How could a person easily forget their first love?

Yu Sisi knew that she was Li Zhiyan's first love, and her position in his heart was ultimately irreplaceable.

If that were the case, she still had hope of being with Li Zhiyan.

“I guessed.”

Li Zhiyan's reaction made Yu Sisi feel even more confident. It seemed Li Zhiyan had indeed been secretly paying attention to her, even if he didn't say it.

But his reaction was clearly very honest.

“It’s him. His name is Zhou Yunfei.”

“He’s tall and handsome.”

“Do you think I should consider being with him?”

Li Zhiyan immediately understood Yu Sisi's purpose. Facing his eldest daughter, Li Zhiyan felt a bit helpless.

A father, after all, cannot sever ties with his daughter.

“You are an adult now, so you should decide such matters yourself.”

After Li Zhiyan gave a perfunctory reply, he hung up the phone. Yu Sisi wanted to use this method to make him feel a sense of crisis, but it was very clear that he wouldn't fall for it.

After hanging up, Li Zhiyan saw the admiring gaze of his best friend.

“Brother Yan is awesome!”

“Now the class beauty is practically begging you!”

“Before, that Yu Sisi treated you like a fool. Now that I think about it, Brother Yan, you were actually cooperating with her in acting like a fool, and she thought she had really met a fool.”

In Li Shiyu's eyes, many things Li Zhiyan had done before now seemed profound.

It seemed as if everything Li Zhiyan did had a deeper meaning.

Li Zhiyan: “…”

“Now that I think about it, this Yu Sisi is really something else. Brother Yan, she took all the gifts you prepared for her.”

“What an animal.”

Li Zhiyan chatted with his best friend, waiting for the inspectors to arrive.

…

Zheng Yiyun, who had returned home, was in a very good mood…

Because she knew very well what Li Zhiyan would encounter tonight.

Li Zhiyan had touched her interests and threatened her luxurious lifestyle.

Then he would certainly have to pay the price.

She dialed Pan Yunhu's number.

Zheng Yiyun asked, “Husband, how did the reporting go?”

At this moment, Zheng Yiyun was already impatiently waiting to see Li Zhiyan's foot bath city close down.

“It's all done, don't worry. The inspectors will arrive soon, rest assured.”

“After his Brothers Foot Bath City is shut down for rectification.”

“I'll buy you the latest Chanel bag.”

Hearing about the Chanel bag, Zheng Yiyun's heart was filled with an uncontrollable excitement.

Her favorite things were sports cars and designer bags.

“Okay, thank you, husband.”

“When Li Zhiyan is arrested later, call me with the good news.”

In Zheng Yiyun's heart, the hatred she had for Zhou Rongrong during their school days also gradually surfaced…

Zhou Rongrong giving birth to such an excellent son as Li Zhiyan made her feel very unbalanced.

However, now she also understood. Once Li Zhiyan was arrested, everything he had would be over.

At that time, she would no longer need to be jealous of Zhou Rongrong.

She used to be jealous of her because she was prettier than herself, but now it was purely jealousy because she had a good son.

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Yiyun murmured, “Li Zhiyan, Aunt Zheng really likes you.”

“But you absolutely shouldn't have opened a foot bath city. The waters in this industry are very deep, not something you can touch.”

…

As Li Zhiyan and Li Shiyu were chatting, suddenly a large number of law enforcement officers rushed into Li Zhiyan's foot bath city.

Now all the exits of Brothers Foot Bath City were blocked. If there were any illegal activities, they would be caught on the spot, with nowhere to hide.

“Routine inspection!”

After a law enforcement officer entered, he showed his identification.

Then they checked room by room.

“Please, feel free.”

Li Zhiyan didn't take it seriously. If he were really earning money from prostitution, he would definitely be in a complete panic right now.

But he was earning money through the system.

He didn't need to do anything illegal, so how could he be afraid of law enforcement officers?

The leading law enforcement officer was a bit surprised, seemingly not expecting Li Zhiyan to be so calm.

Usually, the owners of foot bath cities or bathhouses would be trembling with fear when encountering such things.

But this young man was acting as if nothing was wrong.

After numerous law enforcement officers searched all the rooms with lightning speed, they found that all places were full, but all were legitimate bathing and massage services.

At most, they were holding hands and chatting. Such a clean foot bath city was truly rare.

“Thank you for your cooperation!”

The law enforcement officers quickly led their team away from Brothers Foot Bath City.

…

At this moment, Pan Yunhu, who was on the opposite building, was waiting for the scene of Li Zhiyan being arrested on the spot.

But what he didn't expect was that the law enforcement officers didn't take anyone out.

This completely baffled Pan Yunhu.

What's going on? He walked forward and asked, “Brother Wang, what happened? Didn't you catch Li Zhiyan?”

“Nonsense! He didn't break the law, why would we arrest him? You can only arrest someone if they commit a crime! Don't report such false information in the future, otherwise, you'll be detained next time!”

The leading law enforcement officer also didn't give Pan Yunhu a good look. He felt increasingly embarrassed.

He had thought that Brothers Foot Bath City really had some illicit business from this report.

But the facts proved that they were running a completely legitimate business.

“You, if your foot bath city's business isn't good, find your own reasons.”

“Think about why their legitimate business can be full. Your thinking needs to keep up with the times. Don't always think about framing others!”

After the law enforcement officers' cars had left, Pan Yunhu's face had completely turned ashen.

What's going on? Li Zhiyan's foot bath city didn't have a single illegal activity?

Who doesn't know that if you're in this line of work and don't involve some suggestive or illicit things, you can't make money? After all, a massage costs several hundred yuan, which is not a small amount, and not everyone is willing to spend it.

“Li Zhiyan! Did he know in advance that I was going to report him?”

Pan Yunhu thought it was impossible. His report against Li Zhiyan was top secret.

No one knew about it except his wife.

Moreover, the time was decided by him at the last minute. If Li Zhiyan had prepared in advance, his place should have been empty.

How could it still be full? It was really strange!

…

Upstairs, Li Zhiyan and Li Shiyu were looking at Pan Yunhu's ashen face.

It was already half past twelve.

“Haha, Brother Yan, look at that bastard. I saw his face turn black.”

Li Zhiyan calmly looked at Pan Yunhu across the way. The show had just begun.

…

Returning to Yunhu Foot Bath City, Pan Yunhu went to the private room where he usually rested.

He had just opened a bottle of red wine when he furiously smashed the bottle to the ground.

Pan Yunhu truly never dreamed that his report would fail.

What kind of mind-altering potion did this Li Zhiyan give those customers? How could a plain business be so prosperous? His customer base had genuinely declined!

“Li Zhiyan!”

Pan Yunhu originally wanted to deal with Li Zhiyan and then force Zhou Rongrong to give herself to him.

This was his plan, but he didn't expect such a bad start…

It failed right from the beginning. He even wanted to go to the secret room on the first floor to relax.

At this moment, a noisy sound suddenly rang out from outside the door.

“Routine inspection!”

Subsequently, law enforcement officers began to quickly search Yunhu Foot Bath City.

And they went straight for the secret door with a password.

Such a small door couldn't stop the law enforcement officers at all; it was immediately breached by them.

Before long, more than a dozen men and women who were engaged in illicit transactions in the rooms were all caught red-handed and escorted out.

And many customers in the private rooms were also caught on the spot.

“What's happening?!”

Pan Yunhu never dreamed that someone would come to inspect his foot bath city.

Such a thing had never happened before…

“Caught red-handed! Your Yunhu Foot Bath City is suspected of prostitution.”

“As the person in charge, you are now being arrested!”

“Seal up the foot bath city!”

Pan Yunhu's mind went blank. He was arrested?

And in his own place.

He looked at the law enforcement officers in front of him; they were clearly not from this district, all unfamiliar faces.

At this moment, how could Pan Yunhu not realize that he had been set up?

Who was it that was plotting against him?

Amidst countless questions, he was arrested on the spot.

As he stepped out, he saw that the window of Li Zhiyan's massage room was open, and Li Zhiyan and Li Shiyu seemed to be watching a show.

Pan Yunhu now completely understood what was going on.

Li Zhiyan!

It was definitely Li Zhiyan who did this. This kid was actually so formidable!

Pan Yunhu's heart was filled with hatred for Li Zhiyan.

“Li Zhiyan, you wait for me! I'll deal with you after I get bail!”

…

One AM.

Zheng Yiyun was sleeping soundly at home, thinking about her husband buying her the latest Chanel bag.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Zheng Yiyun knew it must be her husband calling with good news; Li Zhiyan was probably arrested.

But the caller ID was the foot bath city manager.

“Hello.”

She felt a bit strange, but thought perhaps her husband's phone had run out of battery, so he was using the manager's phone to call her.

“Boss lady… this is bad. Our foot bath city was reported, and the boss was arrested!”

In an instant, Zheng Yiyun's body trembled, and she became completely awake.

Who did this? Someone must be targeting her. Li Zhiyan, it was Li Zhiyan who sent her husband in.

This kid, is he that powerful…

“What about Brothers Foot Bath City across the street? Was Li Zhiyan arrested?”

“Across the street, nothing happened to them at all…”
