8: Gu Wanzhou's surprise

"No, I won't let you go. Just stay and work in Wan City and keep me company."

Li Zhiyan firmly objected. After 13 years, he had only just rediscovered the warmth of his mother's love.

He would absolutely not allow his mom to be in any potential danger again.

"But, Li Zhiyan, you'll need money when you get married in the future."

"No, Mom, I won't let you go."

Li Zhiyan hugged Zhou Rongrong like a child. He missed the warm embrace of his mother's love too much.

Zhou Rongrong could only helplessly pat her Son's shoulder.

It seemed her plan to work in Shanghai was not going to happen.

"Mom isn't going to Shanghai, but what about your house in the future? You can't live in a rented room in such an old residential building forever, can you?"

"No girl will be willing to marry you in the future."

"Don't worry about that, I've found a way to make money."

Li Zhiyan had figured it out. He had the system and could earn money by completing system tasks.

If that didn't work, he could buy some virtual currency. Although the earning cycle might be long, it would be enough to make him a billionaire in ten years.

Being able to be reborn and continue being a Mom's boy, Li Zhiyan was truly content in his heart.

Looking at her Son, who seemed to have returned to being seven years old, Zhou Rongrong also felt a bit helpless.

As for her Son making money, she didn't count on it. It seemed she would have to find a way to work more overtime and earn more money.

...

In the evening, after returning to her room.

Zhou Rongrong went to the dresser mirror and looked at herself in the reflection.

Her Son's praise was like sweet honey, making her heart feel warm.

Does this kid really think she's very beautiful?

In the second bedroom, a small fan was blowing wind towards Li Zhiyan.

At this time, he was only 18 years old, his body was strong, and he wasn't afraid of getting cold at all!

Li Zhiyan opened the system, wanting to study it more carefully.

But besides the prompt telling him to go to Xinyuan Hotel tomorrow night to collect his fifty thousand yuan reward, there was only a computer programming course in progress.

"My system will be called the 'Lazy Fish System'."

Li Zhiyan named his system.

Just as he was about to get a good rest, the system suddenly gave a prompt.

"Programming technology has been learned."

Li Zhiyan felt that a lot of things had been added to his brain.

It seemed to be programming technology. After mastering the new technology, Li Zhiyan couldn't sit still.

He opened the old computer and tried to write a small program for automatic vegetable stealing, finding it effortless.

"Amazing, System, I apologize to you."

Li Zhiyan realized that his system wasn't really lazy after all. At least now he had an extra skill. Programmers weren't as abundant in this era as they would be later, and the technology he had mastered was clearly quite advanced. He could earn a lot of money doing part-time work in the future.

This was also a hidden fortune!

Moreover, would the system implant some other rewards later, like being strong and healthy?

These things were much more meaningful than money.

Afterward, he wrote a few more small programs. After satisfying his craving for being a programmer, Li Zhiyan watched the first season of 'iPartment', which had only aired the previous year, online for a while.

He finally fell into a deep sleep after eleven o'clock.

The next day, after Li Zhiyan woke up, he saw his mom standing at the door, seemingly having been waiting for him for some time.

"It's past eight, Son, hurry up and get up to eat."

"Okay, Mom."

Jumping up, Li Zhiyan went to the bathroom to wash up. He felt every pore of his body was cheering. Now, he had completely integrated into 2010.

"Son, why do I feel like you've been acting so strangely these past two days, and you're so happy today?"

"Seeing you makes me happy. I just want to stay by your side and be a Mom's boy forever."

Zhou Rongrong touched Li Zhiyan's face.

"Silly child, look at how unambitious you are."

"Mom can't follow you around forever. Alright, you eat by yourself, Mom is going to work."

"Remember to be careful outside and don't fight with others."

"Oh, take this two hundred yuan for pocket money."

"Spend it wisely."

In the past, when Li Zhiyan heard such reminders, he would feel very annoyed.

But now, he only felt very happy in his heart. He was loved by his mom again.

"Mom, I can earn money, I don't need your money."

Zhou Rongrong didn't take it seriously. After putting the money on the table, she went to the door, put on the high heels she bought at a street stall, and left.

In the afternoon, Li Zhiyan went to an Internet Cafe on the way.

Indeed, Li Shiyu was in the Internet Cafe, playing 'Big Cannon' on New Year Plaza.

"Adoptive father, you're here! Let's go online and play a few rounds! I just learned the underground BUG for the defenders on New Year Plaza!"

"Not now, I have something to do this afternoon."

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"No need, you just stay here and play games. I'm just going to open an online bank account."

As Li Zhiyan was about to leave, he added, "By the way, I think you should stop chasing Wang Xinyue. She's not a good person."

Li Shiyu had a similar experience to his, but he was even more miserable. He chased Wang Xinyue, a female classmate in his class, for a full six years, from the first year of high school to the third year of university.

In the end, he was played like a fool. It seemed that 'green tea' girls were already becoming a norm in this era.

"I know, let me try again. If it still doesn't work after school starts, I'll give up."

Although Li Shiyu didn't know why Li Zhiyan suddenly talked to him about Wang Xinyue, he felt that his best friend was different from before. Listening to him was definitely the right thing to do.

"Okay, in a few days, I'll take you to a bathhouse to have some fun. I guarantee you won't be bothered by the Wang Xinyue problem anymore."

Li Shiyu, who had gotten into the BUG and killed a lurking enemy on the B water slope, said confusedly, "Isn't it just going for a bath? What's so fun about it? It's not like I haven't been before."

...

In the evening, Li Zhiyan checked the time prompted by the system and arrived at Xinyuan Hotel.

"Fifty thousand yuan, what a huge sum."

In the past, Li Zhiyan thought fifty thousand yuan was very little, but later he realized that in this society, people who are willing to lend you fifty thousand yuan, except for your parents, are worth making friends with.

In the face of money, human nature is tested the most.

Thinking of the fifty thousand yuan reward, the unambitious Li Zhiyan felt inexplicably excited.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of Xinyuan Hotel, Li Zhiyan saw a Benz E just pulling up.

Then, Gu Wanzhou, wearing a black professional suit, flesh-colored stockings, and high heels, got out of the driver's seat.

The moment she saw Li Zhiyan at the entrance.

Gu Wanzhou was a bit surprised. She suddenly remembered what Li Zhiyan had said to her.

"I always have a feeling, Aunt Gu, that we will meet again soon."

She didn't expect to meet this child, who dared to confess to her in public, again so soon.

In the passenger seat, Yu Sisi, who was as arrogant as a princess, also got out of the car.

"Li Zhiyan?"
