Liu Yan was quite old, already 50 years old.
At this moment, he looked at Li Zhiyan with eyes full of admiration. Understanding computers at such a young age, only 18, was indeed rare.
"President Liu, what's going on here?"
"You run such a big company. How could an 18-year-old kid possibly be of any help to you?"
At this moment, Rao Shi Yun was filled with a big question mark in her heart.
This 18-year-old kid, Li Zhiyan, probably had thoughts like a small horse pulling a big cart. Could he really help Liu Yan solve the company's problems?
Everyone's gazes were now on Li Zhiyan.
Being stared at by everyone, Li Zhiyan really felt uncomfortable, as he had always been a mediocre person who was easily overlooked.
Except for the time when confessing to Yu Sisi made him the laughingstock of his classmates for many years.
At other times, he was just a nobody.
Luckily, he had the System. Although it was a Salted Fish System, it also gave him the ability to turn his life around.
At the same time, it also gave him a possibility to be with these mature ladies.
He truly looked forward to pulling a big cart with a small horse.
...
Gu Wanzhou was slightly stunned. She felt that she might have misjudged Li Zhiyan.
Liu Yan was a very serious and stern person, and he certainly wouldn't joke about such matters.
That meant what Li Zhiyan said about doing a project was true.
But she had thought that he had used despicable means to find out her whereabouts and deliberately pretended to have a fate with her.
Immediately, Gu Wanzhou recalled the dejected look on Li Zhiyan's face.
It must be because of her cold attitude that he felt so visibly upset.
But she had even thought he was feigning pity.
Thinking about Li Zhiyan being misunderstood by her here, as someone from a single-parent family, Gu Wanzhou felt a sourness in her heart, a sad feeling involuntarily rose within her.
She had accused him of being scheming, only wanting to pull a big cart with a small horse.
She was really sorry to him.
...
Liu Yan said appreciatively, "Although it's somewhat unbelievable to say."
"But it really is like that."
"My company's internal system holds a lot of data."
"Employees usually need to use the internal system for work, but recently this system frequently bugged out, rendering it unusable. When I found the original programmer, he said the code was lost and couldn't be fixed."
"I sought many professionals, but none could fix the system."
"If things continued like that, my company would really have been in big trouble."
"But fortunately, I met this young man."
"This young man, in less than three days, solved the computer problem that a bunch of people couldn't handle!"
"Isn't it miraculous? This 50,000 yuan is the reward I gave him."
"I wish I had such an excellent son."
"This is really impressive, just with this skill."
"He can find a high-paying job in the future."
Everyone's gaze once again fell on Li Zhiyan.
Zhang Hongbin's expression became unnatural. At 18 years old, to earn 50,000 yuan and solve problems that many professionals couldn't handle.
From a certain perspective, this kid was a genius.
He might actually be able to impress Gu Wanzhou one day.
Although Gu Wanzhou had high standards, this kid, after all, had the advantage of youth, and coupled with talent, it was not impossible.
"Little guy, I really didn't expect that you are a computer genius!"
Rao Shi Yun had always been teasing Li Zhiyan before.
But this time, she genuinely scrutinized the young boy in front of her.
He was truly incredible! At 18, to earn 50,000 yuan, and then to look at her own son, Liu Zifeng.
Because of their good family conditions, he only thought about getting some pocket money to spend at nightclubs and KTVs.
As for computers? He only knew how to play games on a computer and couldn't even use Excel.
Let alone help someone solve a company's problems.
It's really true what they say, people are incomparable, and goods are discardable.
The gap was really too big. If only she had a son as outstanding as Li Zhiyan.
Li Zhiyan sat next to Gu Wanzhou, and he clearly felt that Gu Wanzhou's gaze at him had softened a lot.
Yu Sisi clenched her hands tightly, a hint of regret appeared in her heart.
Although Li Zhiyan was average in looks and height.
But he had talent!
At 18, he could perform such advanced computer programming, and his future might be limitless.
But now her relationship with Li Zhiyan had completely hardened, and there was basically no possibility of mending it.
...
Soon after, Rao Shi Yun sat in front of Li Zhiyan.
She took the initiative and grabbed Li Zhiyan's hand.
The slippery touch came, and thinking that this was Liu Zifeng's mom.
Li Zhiyan felt an inexplicable feeling of revengeful pleasure.
"Kid, tell Auntie."
"How did you learn your computer skills, did you pay for classes?"
Liu Zifeng saw his own mother so close to Li Zhiyan and felt very uncomfortable.
It felt as if his mother's love was being snatched away by Li Zhiyan.
And the key was that this person was also his love rival, and an enemy he had fought with.
But, due to his fear of his mother, he couldn't say anything, only turning his head away, unable to watch his own mother being intimate with Li Zhiyan.
As Rao Shi Yun held Li Zhiyan's hand, Gu Wanzhou, in the midst of guilt, felt somewhat uneasy.
This woman, acting so frivolously, didn't she understand the distinction between men and women?
Though she was 24 years older than Li Zhiyan, she could still pull a big cart with a small horse.
Thinking about it, Gu Wanzhou's face turned red again.
Ever since that time she talked with Li Zhiyan about Oedipus, and he came up with the phrase 'small horse pulling a big cart'.
Every time she saw him, certain images would come to her mind.
However, she really needed to get close to this kid.
Growing up in a single-parent family, he lacked love. He had already been miserable enough, and being misunderstood and distanced by her, he must be very hurt inside.
"No, we're poor, can't afford classes. Auntie Rao, I learned computer programming on my own when I had free time because I'm quite interested in it."
"By chance, I saw online that President Liu's company had a problem, so I tried it out, and I didn't expect it actually got solved. Just good luck."
Li Zhiyan's words once again stupefied everyone.
Computer programming, something that even university students can't necessarily learn well even when taking special classes.
Li Zhiyan was self-taught and could solve problems that even professionals couldn't handle.
This was a true genius!
"Zhiyan, you are really amazing."
Rao Shi Yun's other hand also rested on Li Zhiyan's hand, enveloping it.
Looking at the front view of Rao Shi Yun.
Li Zhiyan suddenly remembered, it had been many years since he weaned.
Seeing Rao Shi Yun so close and still holding her hand,
Li Zhiyan suddenly felt a desire to reminisce about his childhood.
If only he could savor the taste of childhood again…
Then he silently cursed himself for having such a dirty thought.
It seemed that hormones truly were the deciding factor in determining one's libido.
Returning to the age of 18, a time of vigorous health, his thoughts were also more easily swayed by hormones.
But then again, that was a kind of happiness.
Rao Shi Yun's hand was very smooth; once she grasped it, Li Zhiyan found it hard to let go.
And Auntie Rao was truly very beautiful.
Especially those voluptuous legs, which made it difficult for Li Zhiyan to control his thoughts.
Liu Zifeng listened as his own mother praised Li Zhiyan, the person he despised the most, and felt a sourness in his heart, wanting to fight Li Zhiyan.
However, in the end, he could only helplessly endure it.
Beside them, Rao Shi Yun's best friend Li Meifeng was laughing, "It seems our beautiful Ms. Rao really appreciates this kid."
"Tonight you two should have a good talk."
Afterward, Rao Shi Yun was very happy chatting with Li Zhiyan.
Li Zhiyan always felt that Liu Zifeng's mother was a bit flirty, but he could tell that Rao Shi Yun was just flirty on the surface and spoke quite casually.
But if there were any inappropriate words or thoughts,
She would definitely turn her back on you.
Li Zhiyan also realized that he didn't just like mature women; he liked beautiful mature women.
Like Li Meifeng, who had an average appearance and wasn't worth starting up an engine for.
But Aunt Gu or Auntie Rao truly made his heart flutter.
Thus, Rao Shi Yun held Li Zhiyan's hand and chatted for a full half-hour.
Gu Wanzhou felt uneasy inside, feeling a sourness.
This woman, how could she be so close to Xiao Yan, when she herself knew Li Zhiyan first, yet she was chatting so happily with him.
Though she had never thought about starting up a big car with Li Zhiyan,
At this moment, a woman's instincts still made her feel a burst of jealousy.
…
After a while, everyone began to depart from the Xinyuan Grand Hotel.
Yu Sisi's mood was not good; knowing Li Zhiyan made fifty thousand yuan at the age of 18 made her feel like she had misjudged him.
So she headed back to the car first.
And as Rao Shi Yun got to the hotel entrance,
She was still chatting with Li Zhiyan.
"Xiao Yan, let's add each other on QQ so if Auntie has any computer issues, I can ask you."
Young people adjusting screen resolutions in the eyes of adults were akin to hackers.
And someone like Li Zhiyan who could solve so many problems that even professionals couldn't, in Rao Shi Yun's eyes, was even more impressive.
She really had quite a favorable impression of this kid.
Seeing there was no one around, Li Meifeng teased, "You really like Li Zhiyan that much, huh? I think you should make him your godson, Li Zhiyan, do you like this godmother?"
"Adopt this godmother and let her feed you, then you'll never go hungry."
"Look at her figure, isn't it great?"
Even if Rao Shi Yun was somewhat flirty verbally,
She was getting a bit overwhelmed by this woman who was truly flirty.
"Shut up."
"Stop talking nonsense, Xiao Yan, don't mind her, she's always like this."
While speaking, Rao Shi Yun and Li Zhiyan added each other on QQ.
From a distance, Liu Zifeng was grinding his teeth in frustration.
His mother was like a goddess in his heart, pure and untainted, but today Li Zhiyan had boldly touched her hands, and now they even exchanged QQ.
What was Li Zhiyan trying to do!
But he dared not step forward to stop it.
His mother was gentle to outsiders, but extremely strict with him.
Li Meifeng, unbothered, said, "Haha."
"I think it's not bad to have a godmother."
"Look how great your godmother's figure is, having such a godmother, you'll definitely not starve."
"Li Zhiyan, tell me, don't you want to recognize this godmother?"
Li Zhiyan couldn't help but look, perhaps because he was fully immersed in being 18 again,
He also felt his face become a bit hot.
At that moment, Rao Shi Yun was somewhat moved; after chatting with Li Zhiyan for a long time, she really admired this kid from a single-parent family.
Clearly lacking love, he seemed pitiable, stirring her maternal instincts.
Key being, this child had grown up in such a family environment, not only hadn't he given up on himself, he had self-taught computer programming, and even achieved quite a bit, truly a child from someone else's family.
If there could be such a godson, that wouldn't be bad at all.
"Xiao Yan, would you like me to be your godmother?"
Rao Shiyun joked as she stroked Li Zhiyan's head.
Li Zhiyan thought for a moment, but he still didn't agree.
Having such a wealthy godmother, he certainly wouldn't starve.
But there would be many problems in the future.
After all, having a godmother meant not having one anymore.
"I'd better not, Auntie Rao, it's enough for me to think of you as a mom in my heart."
Hearing Li Zhiyan's words, Rao Shiyun felt a bit sour in her heart; she stepped forward and gently hugged Li Zhiyan.
"Good kid."
Li Zhiyan also felt how broad Auntie Rao's embrace was, truly worthy of a top-class mature woman at the age of 42.
"Auntie must leave now, keep in touch when you're free."
Although she hadn't known Li Zhiyan for a long time,
Rao Shiyun really admired Li Zhiyan, a child from a poor background who was self-reliant.
"Auntie, goodbye."
Liu Zifeng was already grinding his teeth.
His mom had actually hugged Li Zhiyan, letting the kid take advantage.
This was a classmate he had a feud with!
And now...
After watching Auntie Rao's Audi A6 drive away,
Li Zhiyan heard Gu Wanzhou's voice.
"Li Zhiyan."
"Aunt Gu."
Li Zhiyan turned around and looked at Gu Wanzhou; he felt that her embrace fell a bit short compared to Rao Shiyun.
But her cold demeanor really had a unique charm.
And, what real magnanimity looked like wasn't necessarily clear from appearances.
"My dear."
"When you have time, come over to my house, and I'll cook for you."
Although she had never thought about having Li Zhiyan, a little kid, pull a heavy load,
but after the misunderstanding just now, Gu Wanzhou felt quite guilty toward Li Zhiyan.
Such a humble and striving child, studying programming techniques, probably not realizing how much effort he had put in to solve Liu Yan's company's problems.
Probably also putting his life on it, maybe having stayed up countless nights to accomplish it.
Yet she mistakenly thought he had used despicable means to find her whereabouts, pretending to have a fate with her, just to sleep with her.
But he was just there to take her money, and that was it; not only did she not show him kindness later, but she also thought of him as that sort of person.
As a child lacking love, his heart must be really hurt.
"Really, Aunt Gu, you don't hate me anymore?"
Li Zhiyan gently took Gu Wanzhou's hand.
This was his and Yu Sisi's biological mother's first physical contact.
Gu Wanzhou's heart sank; indeed, a child without a strong backing is the most sensitive, he had sensed her emotions earlier.
Feeling a bit heartache, Gu Wanzhou touched Li Zhiyan's face.
"Don't worry, whenever you want to talk, just contact me anytime."
"Thank you for being so nice to me, Aunt Gu."
Li Zhiyan hugged Gu Wanzhou spontaneously, then quickly let go.
He realized, Gu Wanzhou really hid a lot deep down; indeed, one should not judge solely by appearances.
Gu Wanzhou thought of the way Rao Shiyun had hugged Li Zhiyan.
She felt somewhat jealous; that woman was being too flirtatious.
Taking the initiative to hug a young boy, maybe she did have intentions of pulling the cart with a small horse; it wasn't impossible.
Now that Li Zhiyan had hugged her, it balanced her feelings a lot.
But, at the same time, she felt even more guilty.
At this moment, the System suddenly issued another task.
"Gu Wanzhou invites you to her house."
"Please go to her house tomorrow to eat, and massage her shoulders and thighs to relieve neck pain."
"Task reward, 20,000 yuan in cash."
"Note: While learning massage techniques, once you've completed your studies, your massage skills will greatly relieve pain."
Li Zhiyan's heart raced.
Sorry System, I'll never call you weak again!
Just this massage can relieve pain,
If he opened a massage parlor in the future, he would definitely make a fortune!
"Aunt Gu, I'd like to come to your house tomorrow, is that okay?"
