Rao Shiyun's Intimacy and the Guilty Gu Wanzhou

Liu Yan was quite old, already 50 years old.

At this moment, looking at Li Zhiyan, his eyes were also full of admiration. It was rare to see a young person who understood computers, especially one who was only 18 years old.

"President Liu, what's going on here?"

"You're the boss of such a big company, and this 18-year-old kid can help you?"

At this time, Rao Shi Yun had a huge question mark in her heart.

What could an 18-year-old kid like Li Zhiyan possibly think of that would amount to a pony pulling a heavyweight, and he could help Liu Yan solve the company's problems?

All eyes were on Li Zhiyan.

Being watched by everyone, Li Zhiyan really wasn't used to it, given that his ordinarily mediocre self was easily overlooked.

Except for confessing to Yu Sisi, which made him the butt of jokes among his classmates for many years.

Otherwise, he was practically invisible in his life.

Fortunately, there was the system. Although it was a Salted Fish System, it still gave him the ability to turn things around.

At the same time, it also allowed him the possibility to be with these mature women.

Pulling a heavyweight, he was truly looking forward to it.

...

Gu Wanzhou was slightly stunned, feeling that she might have misjudged Li Zhiyan.

Liu Yan was a very serious and earnest person; he certainly wouldn't joke about this.

So, what Li Zhiyan had said about working on a project was true.

But she had thought he had learned of her whereabouts through despicable means and deliberately pretended to have a connection with her.

Then, Gu Wanzhou thought of the look of disappointment on Li Zhiyan's face just now.

It must have been because of her cold attitude that he felt so dejected and sad.

Yet she had thought he was feigning pity.

Thinking of Li Zhiyan from a single-parent family being misunderstood by her here, Gu Wanzhou felt a sour feeling in her heart, an involuntary sense of sadness rising within her.

What had she done? The kid had always been so pitiful and sincere.

But she had suspected him of being manipulative, only wanting to pull a heavy cart with a small horse.

She really owed him an apology.

...

President Liu spoke with admiration, "Although it sounds a bit unbelievable when said out loud."

"But it's really true."

"My company's internal system stores a lot of data."

"Normally, employees need to use the internal system for work, but some time ago, the system frequently bugged out and became unusable. We contacted the original programmer, and he said the code was lost and could not be fixed."

"We sought out many professionals, but nobody could fix the system."

"If this continued, my company would have faced serious issues."

"Thankfully, I encountered this young man."

"In less than three days, computer problems that stumped everyone else were solved by him!"

"How incredible is that? This 50,000 yuan is his reward."

"I wish I had such an outstanding son."

"Now that's impressive, merely with this talent alone."

"He could easily find a high-paying job in the future."

Everyone's attention was once again focused on Li Zhiyan.

Zhang Hongbin's expression turned unnatural, being able to make 50,000 yuan at 18 and solving problems that stumped many professionals.

In some ways, this kid was a genius.

He might really be able to win over Gu Wanzhou one day.

Although Gu Wanzhou had high standards, this kid still had the advantage of youth, and with talent added to that, it was not a certainty.

"Kid, Auntie really didn't expect you to be a computer genius!"

Rao Shi Yun had always been joking with Li Zhiyan before.

But this time, she truly scrutinized the young kid before her eyes.

He was really impressive! At just 18, he could earn fifty thousand yuan, then take a look at her own son, Liu Zifeng.

Because they were well off, he only thought about scraping together some pocket money to spend at nightclubs and KTVs.

As for computers? He only knew how to play games on it, not even capable of using Excel.

Not to mention solving difficult issues for someone's company.

Indeed, comparing oneself with others could certainly be infuriating, and comparing goods could make yours seem ready for the trash.

The gap was just too big. How great it would be if she had a son as outstanding as Li Zhiyan.

Li Zhiyan sat beside Gu Wanzhou, and he clearly felt Gu Wanzhou's gaze soften a lot when looking at him.

Yu Sisi's hands were clenched tightly, a tinge of regret appearing in her heart.

Although Li Zhiyan was average in both looks and stature.

He had talent!

At 18, he could do such advanced computer programming, his future might be limitless.

But now, her relationship with Li Zhiyan had completely soured, with basically no chance of mending it.

...

Afterward, Rao Shi Yun took a seat in front of Li Zhiyan.

She took the initiative to grab Li Zhiyan's hand.

Feeling the slick touch, and realizing it was Liu Zifeng's own mother,

Li Zhiyan experienced an inexplicable sense of vengeful satisfaction.

"Kid, tell Auntie,"

"how did you learn your computer skills? Did you pay for classes?"

Liu Zifeng saw his own mother being so close to Li Zhiyan and felt extremely uncomfortable.

This feeling was as if his own mother's love had been stolen by Li Zhiyan.

And the key point was that this person was also his love rival, an enemy with whom he had fought.

But because of his fear of his mother, he didn't dare to say anything, only turning his head away, unable to bear watching his own mother being affectionate with Li Zhiyan.

As Rao Shi Yun held Li Zhiyan's hand, guilt-ridden Gu Wanzhou felt somewhat discomfited in her heart.

This woman, why is she being so flirty, doesn't she know the difference between men and women?

Though she was 24 years older than Li Zhiyan, it was still feasible for a small horse to pull a big cart.

Thinking about it, Gu Wanzhou's face heated up again.

Ever since the last time she talked with Li Zhiyan about Oedipus, and he invented the term "a small horse pulling a big cart," he would recall certain images whenever he saw her.

However, she really needed to get closer to this kid.

Being from a single-parent family, he lacked a portion of love. He was already pitiable, and to be misunderstood and alienated by himself, he must be very sad in her heart.

"No, we are poor and couldn't afford classes. Auntie Rao, I taught myself computer programming when I had free time, because I'm quite interested in it,"

"Coincidentally, I saw online that President Liu's company had a difficulty, so I gave it a try, and unexpectedly I solved it. It was just good luck."

Li Zhiyan's words made everyone present get lost in thought again.

Computer programming is something that college students, despite being taught, are not necessarily good at.

Li Zhiyan was self-taught and yet could solve those problems that even professionals couldn't resolve.

He was a true genius!

"Xiao Yan, you're really amazing."

Rao Shi Yun's other hand also landed on Li Zhiyan's hand, enclosing it completely.

Looking at Rao Shi Yun's bust in front of him,

Li Zhiyan suddenly remembered that it seemed he had been weaned many years ago.
