43: The jealous Gu Rao!

Gu Wanzhou was very generous to Li Zhiyan.

Although most of the people in their circle were small bosses with some wealth, a typical gift would only be a thousand yuan.

To Li Zhiyan, she gave three thousand, simply because she liked the child.

"Thank you, Aunt Gu."

Li Zhiyan didn't stand on ceremony and directly accepted the red envelope.

Li Meifeng also gave Li Zhiyan a red envelope, but she wasn't as generous as Gu Wanzhou, giving only one thousand yuan.

Li Zhiyan also thanked Li Meifeng.

"Thank you, Aunt Li."

On the other side, Rao Shiyun also took out a red envelope. Aunt Rao's red envelope was as plump as her figure, probably around five thousand yuan.

Subsequently, Zhang Hongbin and General Wang also took out red envelopes, both for one thousand yuan.

"Thank you, Uncles."

Li Zhiyan thanked them one by one.

Li Shiyu, who was behind him, was already utterly impressed by his best friend.

Brother Yan was indeed Brother Yan. While he was still thinking about drinking ice-cold Coke and enjoying himself online every day, Brother Yan was already socializing with these bosses.

Moreover, Yusi Si's mother and Liu Zifeng's mother had also come.

Perhaps, Brother Yan had already succeeded!

This was truly a man among men, a Lu Bu among Lu Bus.

"Uncles and Aunts, let's go to Xin Yuan Hotel. I'll treat you to a meal."

It was almost mealtime now.

The proper etiquette still had to be observed.

"Alright, later I'll have a good chat with you about how to revitalize the Internet Cafe."

Looking at General Wang, who seemed to have thought of something, Gu Wanzhou's heart also couldn't help but rise with some hope, hoping he could come up with a good method.

At least, it could help Li Zhiyan lose less money.

Rao Shiyun had the same thought in her heart…

Although she felt she couldn't view Li Zhiyan as a man, in terms of affection, she truly treated him like a son.

...

They arrived at the private room.

Zhang Hongbin pulled out a chair and invited Gu Wanzhou to sit.

He wanted to sit with Gu Wanzhou.

That way, he could smell her fragrance.

"No, I'll still sit with Guaiguai. Children are shy."

Gu Wanzhou found a very suitable excuse.

This annoyed Zhang Hongbin. Ever since this child first appeared, he had become a huge obstacle in his pursuit of Gu Wanzhou!

Children are shy? Can a child know how to pursue a 41-year-old woman?

This child's age, he could make you pregnant six or seven times in one night!

"Sister, come sit over here with brother."

General Wang also invited Rao Shiyun.

However, Rao Shiyun also didn't want to go to General Wang's side and instead sat to Li Zhiyan's right.

"I'll also sit with Li Zhiyan and talk to the child."

For a moment, Li Zhiyan, who had just sat down, was surrounded by Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shiyun.

Smelling the fragrant scent coming from the two mature aunts.

Li Zhiyan also felt a sense of intoxication.

Across from them, Zhang Hongbin and General Wang both felt a fire with nowhere to vent. They didn't want to sit with them, and it wasn't good to shamelessly crowd over.

Moreover, it wasn't good to argue with a child over his aunts.

Li Meifeng sat beside the two with a chuckle.

"I'll sit with you two."

There were women beside them, but Li Meifeng's appearance was ordinary, leaving them uninterested.

A forty-year-old woman wasn't very interesting; it was just that Rao Shiyun and Gu Wanzhou were too beautiful.

Li Meifeng, a forty-year-old old woman, was not worth putting effort into.

It was better to find a young technician at a bathhouse.

Looking at this familiar place.

Gu Wanzhou couldn't help but feel emotional. Her first misunderstanding of Li Zhiyan was here. At that time, she even thought he wanted a small horse to pull a big cart, using some despicable means to find out her whereabouts.

He pretended to be fated with her, but only later did she realize that he was truly fated with her!

He even encountered her when buying an Internet Cafe.

As the few of them chatted, General Wang intentionally or unintentionally engaged Rao Shiyun in conversation.

However, Rao Shiyun merely humored him.

"Sister, you're already divorced, right?"

"I think you're so pretty and have such a good figure, you could totally find someone richer."

Rao Shiyun shook her head.

"My husband and I are probably going to remarry by the end of the year."

Speaking of this, she subconsciously looked at Li Zhiyan, feeling a strange blockage in her heart.

Her words were actually meant for Li Zhiyan.

She didn't know Li Zhiyan's specific thoughts, but she felt that the child had romantic feelings for her, including for Gu Wanzhou.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have touched her thigh when he was drunk, and wanted to french kiss her.

After getting drunk, these were all instinctive reactions.

However, such an age gap was simply too unrealistic.

"Remarry? Sister, let me tell you, don't look back on the path you've walked. If it was truly suitable, you wouldn't have divorced in the first place. You actually deserve better."

Rao Shiyun didn't want to listen to General Wang's nonsense.

"Brother Wang, you should talk about your experience running an Internet Cafe and help this child."

"He's still young, and this loss is too great."

Zhang Hongbin echoed from the side: "Don't worry, Old Brother Wang will definitely give useful advice."

"If I want to help Gu Zong, he will definitely help with all his might."

Both of them wanted to show off, hoping to win the beautiful lady's heart soon.

General Wang also echoed: "Exactly!"

"My Internet Cafes are all doing very well."

"The best Internet Cafe can earn over a hundred thousand a month."

"Actually, I used to open an Internet Cafe in a relatively remote location too."

"That place was a newly planned economic development zone, basically deserted."

"However, I still managed to get the Internet Cafe up and running."

"It could also earn about twenty thousand yuan a month."

His words, both direct and indirect, were all about showcasing his earning ability.

Unfortunately, it was useless to Rao Shiyun; her attention was entirely on how to help this child from her own family.

"Brother Wang, please hurry and tell us how to get Guaiguai's Internet Cafe up and running."

Gu Wanzhou also urged him.

General Wang originally wanted to play it cool and show off his financial strength.

But under the urging of Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shiyun, he had no choice but to get down to business.

"Young man, you must remember what Uncle is about to say."

"If your Internet Cafe wants to come back to life, it can only rely on Markting."

"Uncle knows a bit about this stuff."

"If you fully listen to Uncle, there's a glimmer of hope."

Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shiyun both listened with some confusion.

Li Zhiyan continued, "You're talking about Marketing, aren't you?"

Rao Shiyun and Gu Wanzhou both involuntarily looked at Li Zhiyan.

This child, he knows this too?

Gu Wanzhou remembered when Li Zhiyan talked about the subprime mortgage crisis before.

He was truly knowledgeable!

"Li Zhiyan, marketing, does it mean advertising?"

"That's roughly the idea. Marketing requires professional talent to strategize. This talent needs to be able to explore how enterprises can meet market demands, seek business strategies and innovation in business models, and cultivate abilities that adapt to the needs of a modern market economy, all starting from satisfying customer needs."

"I think this uncle probably wants to tell me about this."

Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shiyun's beautiful eyes were sparkling with brilliance.

Li Zhiyan really knew everything!

General Wang subtly felt something was off.

"Yes, that's it."

"You need to listen carefully to what Uncle says next."

Next, General Wang began to offer advice to Li Zhiyan.

And after a few drinks, he started rambling due to the alcohol, still trying to show off his intelligence and financial strength.

For example, hiring a few beautiful women in miniskirts to attract customers.

Listening to General Wang's words, Rao Shiyun also felt some despair.

Hiring a few beauties, with the scale of Brothers Internet Cafe, wouldn't even cover the labor costs.

Moreover, she saw that Brothers Internet Cafe already had two Internet Cafe managers and one store manager.

Currently, Li Zhiyan should already be losing money every month.

Her disgust for General Wang could be said to be at its peak; it seemed Li Zhiyan's Internet Cafe truly had no way of coming back to life.

Its remote location coupled with poor computers, these two points alone were enough to seal its fate.

With a bit of heartache, she held Li Zhiyan's hand under the table, gently comforting him. Rao Shiyun felt very distressed.

A slippery sensation came, and Li Zhiyan wanted to find Aunt Rao's tongue again.

But he knew it wasn't possible now.

Gu Wanzhou also noticed that under the table, Rao Shiyun was holding Li Zhiyan's hand.

Feeling a bit defiant, she also took Li Zhiyan's other hand.

Thus, Li Zhiyan's two hands were occupied by two stunning mature women.

Li Zhiyan sensed a strange smell of gunpowder.

Even though both women had undeniable reservations about letting him pull the cart, they were instinctively competing for attention.

What had happened recently?

Li Zhiyan didn't know that all of this was due to Li Meifeng constantly fanning the flames with her suggestive remarks, causing the two women to feel a pang of jealousy whenever they saw the other getting close to Li Zhiyan.

For the rest of the time, General Wang kept offering suggestions on how to revive the Internet Cafe, and Zhang Hongbin also felt he was capable. The two talked eloquently for a full hour.

And Li Zhiyan also spent an hour touching the hands of the two aunts under the table.

...

In the afternoon, when the group returned to Brothers Internet Cafe, it was already past one o'clock.

At this time, General Wang felt good about himself and was still eloquently discussing how to transform the Internet Cafe.

Rao Shiyun was too lazy to listen to General Wang's nonsense. She whispered, "Li Zhiyan, I'll invest in your Internet Cafe. If you earn money, just give Auntie some. Auntie still has some money on hand now."

She wanted to help Li Zhiyan share some of the pressure.

Let her share in the losses too, since she liked this child.

How wonderful it would be if he were willing to be her godson; then she wouldn't have those inexplicable dilemmas.

What a shame…

Gu Wanzhou was also not to be outdone. Her heart ached for Li Zhiyan. This child's Internet Cafe was destined to lose money. She shouldn't have believed him in the first place; she should have firmly stopped him from buying this Internet Cafe!

"Li Zhiyan, Auntie also wants to invest."

The war between the two women was silent, yet it had already begun to intensify in the shadows.

Just then, dozens of young boys ran in one after another through the doorway.

Li Zhiyan knew that the system's marketing had worked.

The Internet Cafe's business exploded!

"Internet Cafe manager, a ten-yuan machine!"

"Open a machine for the afternoon package!"

"Open a 20-yuan machine!"

"Three bottles of Coke, Internet Cafe manager!"

The Internet Cafe, which had been very quiet moments ago, instantly became incredibly lively.

And people kept running over from a distance!

This lively scene left Li Shiyu a bit stunned.

Brother Yan is truly amazing! He said business would get better, and then so many people came at once!

The Internet Cafe manager, who had been idle, suddenly became flustered.

As customers went online one by one, the noise in the Internet Cafe grew louder and more boisterous.

Li Zhiyan loved this atmosphere; it was full of the taste of youth.

"How is that possible…"

Li Meifeng watched as people continuously entered from outside; she was truly stunned. She racked her brain but couldn't figure it out.

How Li Zhiyan managed to revitalize an Internet Cafe that was on the verge of bankruptcy.

And in the next ten minutes or so, the Internet Cafe completely turned into a bustling market!

The first floor was already packed, with no more room.

The remaining customers had no choice but to go to the second floor.

Zhang Hongbin inwardly thought, 'This is bad.' He hadn't expected this freak to be able to revive even an Internet Cafe like this.

Gu Wanzhou wouldn't be tempted and then lie there to get pregnant for him, would she?

He had originally wanted to use this opportunity to gain some good favor with Gu Wanzhou.

So that he would have a chance to sleep with this ultimate mature woman later, but now not only had he not shown himself well, he had also become a clown.

But now…

At 18 years old, he could really make Gu Wanzhou pregnant six or seven times in one night.

General Wang's face was already flushed, wishing he could escape immediately.

The hour-plus of strategizing just now had all become a joke!

The key was that this child had always smiled and expressed agreement with him. If he had known he was so capable, he wouldn't have come to make a fool of himself.

...

"Li Zhiyan, what's going on? Why are there so many people?"

Gu Wanzhou's beautiful eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief.

This Internet Cafe, by all accounts, was doomed.

Yet Li Zhiyan had brought it back to life!

She truly couldn't comprehend it.

At this moment, Li Zhiyan also began to explain seriously.

This task concerned his twenty thousand cash reward, so he couldn't be careless. Anyway, he just needed to follow the system's script, and these twenty thousand yuan were like found money.

"Aunt Gu."

"I rewrote the Internet Cafe management system."

"I added many features, such as private disk space, account memory, and game loading optimization."

As Gu Wanzhou felt surprised, she was also very happy; Li Zhiyan was truly too talented.

Rao Shiyun's heavy heart also settled.

"Li Zhiyan, simply writing a program can't bring so many people at once, can it?"

Rao Shiyun remembered that Li Zhiyan not only knew programming but also french, and her heart was filled with boundless admiration.

"Yes, Aunt Gu, I started preparing for this a few days ago."

"Since the location is remote, we can only rely on marketing and word-of-mouth."

"For this, I designed a specialized top-up system."

"It's specifically to increase customer loyalty."

"And I used decentralized advertising to spread it among precise customers nearby."

"It's cross-propagated within various communication networks."

"Forming a point into a line, a line into a plane, creating an information cocoon about Brothers Internet Cafe."

Rao Shiyun asked with some curiosity, "Li Zhiyan, what does 'information cocoon' mean?"

This was the first time she had heard of this concept!

This child truly knew everything!

Gu Wanzhou's heart was incredibly turbulent; Li Zhiyan could even design his own Internet Cafe system!

Li Zhiyan continued to explain, "The information cocoon is a concept proposed by the American scholar Cass Sunstein four years ago."
