23: Li Zhiyan actually taught himself French!
Li Zhiyan directly blocked Smith's path.
Then, he said in very standard french, "Hello, Mr. Smith, perhaps we can talk. If you need any translation, I can speak with you."
Smith immediately stopped in his tracks. He hadn't expected to hear such standard french in a foreign country.
"Little friend, are you a french national of Chinese descent?"
"No, I just self-studied french for a period of time."
"To be able to self-study french to this extent, little friend, you truly are a genius."
Smith could be said to have a very good impression of Li Zhiyan.
Li Meifeng's eyes widened. He actually started chatting with Smith, who was from France!
And it seemed their communication was completely unhindered.
This kid actually knows french, that's incredible!
At this moment, Rao Shiyun, who was behind them, felt her heart beating very, very fast.
She had already recorded the video of Li Zhiyan fixing the system earlier, and she truly admired Li Zhiyan's talent immensely.
To be able to earn sixty thousand yuan at 18 years old, and to be self-taught.
He was already Rao Shiyun's dream child.
But what she hadn't expected was!
Li Zhiyan actually had other talents; he knew french.
...
"Aunt Li, you can tell me anything directly, I'll help you with the translation."
The somewhat dazed Li Meifeng quickly reacted.
"Oh! Good!"
She didn't bother to ask how Li Zhiyan knew french; the priority now was to quickly secure the order.
This was much more important than anything else.
Then, Li Zhiyan secretly felt pleased as he showed off his french in front of Aunt Rao.
Li Zhiyan was an ordinary person, and among ordinary people, he was a vulgar one.
Therefore, he really liked...
Half an hour later, with Li Zhiyan's translation, Li Meifeng successfully signed the contract.
After Liu Huan went to see Smith off.
Li Meifeng couldn't help but cheer.
"Thank you, Li Zhiyan. If it weren't for you, Auntie would have suffered a huge loss this time."
Li Meifeng walked to the desk, pulled open the drawer, and took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills, placing them in front of Li Zhiyan.
"Here, child, take it."
Li Zhiyan truly felt that although Li Meifeng spoke provocatively, she was genuinely generous as a person.
"Aunt Li, this is too much. A translator only earns about a thousand yuan a day, and it's not every day you can find work."
"Oh, just take it when I give it to you. If it weren't for you, Auntie would have lost even more."
Li Meifeng directly pushed the money towards Li Zhiyan.
Li Zhiyan also didn't continue to be coy. Coming out today and earning fifty thousand yuan was truly worth it.
"Why hasn't Liu Huan returned yet?"
Li Meifeng could probably guess that he was too ashamed to come back.
Being completely outshone by an 18-year-old in front of the person he liked, coming back would only make him lose face in front of Rao Shiyun.
Rao Shiyun said with some annoyance, "It's good he didn't come back. People like him, who only think about getting into bed all day, are annoying."
"Our Li Zhiyan is much better."
The more Rao Shiyun looked at Li Zhiyan, the more she appreciated the child.
Although he looked relatively ordinary, he was still a bit handsome.
Coupled with his talent and drive, he was truly likable.
"Oh, oh, he hasn't even agreed to let you breastfeed him yet, and you're already saying 'our Li Zhiyan.' Isn't your son Liu Zifeng?"
"Are you in such a hurry to breastfeed Li Zhiyan?"
"Don't even mention it..."
When her own son was mentioned, Rao Shiyun felt a sense of disappointment.
Compared to Li Zhiyan, Liu Zifeng was truly too far behind.
Li Zhiyan checked, and his system's thirty thousand yuan reward had already been deposited into his bank card.
The system was really becoming more and more powerful.
Now, his total assets amounted to eighty thousand yuan.
The goal of buying a house...
Still short of 920,000!
...
At noon, Li Meifeng specially ordered a table full of delicacies at a nearby grand hotel to thank Li Zhiyan. After all, if it weren't for Li Zhiyan, her losses today would have been truly immense.
After the few of them left the restaurant, Li Meifeng still said provocatively, "Beautiful Rao, when you breastfeed Li Zhiyan, remember to send me a photo to admire."
"If you want to breastfeed, you go breastfeed!"
"Alright, I'm just afraid Li Zhiyan won't be willing, and you're worth three of me. What I have won't be enough for him, he'll still need yours."
"You just leave!"
Rao Shiyun's face flushed again. This woman just kept talking about breastfeeding all day, she couldn't stop. When it came to talking, she really was no match for her.
"Bye-bye, Li Zhiyan."
After watching Li Meifeng leave, Rao Shiyun felt a little helpless.
"Li Zhiyan, don't listen to her nonsense all day. She doesn't act proper in front of children."
"She's truly annoying. Get in the car, I'll drive you home. I still have to go to the company this afternoon."
"No, Aunt Rao, I'm not going home. No one's home right now, so there's no point in me going home."
"You can just go directly to your company. I can get off near your company."
"Alright, my company isn't far from your home either."
...
When the Audi A6 stopped downstairs at Rao Shiyun's company.
Li Zhiyan, who had just gotten out of the car, felt a burst of scorching heat.
However, Li Zhiyan now really liked this scorching weather; it was the fervent heat of youth.
"Kid, bye-bye."
Looking at Li Zhiyan in front of her, Rao Shiyun's mind kept replaying the scene of Li Zhiyan communicating with Smith.
His french was truly excellent.
"Mhm, Aunt Rao, bye-bye."
"Oh, by the way, Li Zhiyan."
"Auntie forgot to ask, how did you learn french so well? Have you ever stayed in France before?"
Li Zhiyan couldn't help but smile. How could an ordinary person like him have money to go to France?
"No, Aunt Rao, I've never been abroad since I was little. To be honest, I've never even left Wan Province."
Rao Shiyun's beautiful eyes were filled with surprise.
"Then how do you speak french so well? Learning french is much harder than English. Did you find a professional french teacher?"
"No, Aunt Rao, I self-studied french because I wanted to master another skill to help my mother alleviate some of the pressure in life."
Li Zhiyan knew this was the only explanation.
He couldn't possibly tell others he had a system.
Upon hearing this, Rao Shiyun also found it hard to believe what she had heard.
This french was actually self-taught by this child!
He not only self-studied computer programming but also french!
How much perseverance must that take!
And he did it all to reduce his mother's stress.
What a thoughtful child.
For a moment, Rao Shiyun's eyes welled up, and tears almost fell. She stepped forward and gently hugged Li Zhiyan.
And Li Zhiyan instantly bent down.
Aunt Rao's embrace was truly magnificent!
