Chapter 31: 031 [Hundred Thousand Yuan Bonus] Intelligence Reward!

Zhao Shumin felt that she and Li Zhiyan were destined to be enemies.

So he was just waiting for the opportunity to watch her make a fool of herself.

To watch her get beaten.

But what Zhao Shumin didn’t expect was that the person she disliked the most, Li Zhiyan, would stand in front of her to protect her.

Wasn’t he supposed to want to see her get beaten?

"What are you doing meddling in this?"

Shang Shunsheng roared, but he instinctively took a few steps back. The last time he fought Li Zhiyan,

even with his mother helping him, he wasn’t a match for Li Zhiyan.

Now seeing Li Zhiyan blocking his way, his heart trembled with fear.

He had always been the type to bully the weak and fear the strong.

"Just you wait!"

Looking at Li Zhiyan, who seemed ready to throw punches, Shang Shunsheng dragged his girlfriend back to their room.

Glancing at the tearful Zhao Shumin, Li Zhiyan returned to his own room,

while the neighbors, who hadn’t witnessed a domestic violence scene, looked visibly disappointed.

They had thought there’d be a good drama to watch, but nothing happened in the end.

It was indeed a letdown.

...

Back in his room, Li Zhiyan continued studying online for a while.

At exactly midnight, the intel refreshed.

"Go to the Lottery Store and scratch this scratch ticket to win a one-thousand-yuan prize."

Another thousand yuan in pocket money was his.

Li Zhiyan felt even more confident.

"Zhao Shumin feels incredibly moved by your actions to stop her from being domestically abused today."

"So Zhao Shumin has decided to rescue the lost soul you’ve become, determined not to let you end up behind bars."

Li Zhiyan: "..."

He knew his image in Zhao Shumin’s eyes had truly hit rock bottom.

But the fact that his room still had Aunt Shen’s t-shirt, stockings, and some Valentino items...

It did seem a little dubious...

Still, he was an honest man.

"Tomorrow afternoon, Lai Feifei’s brother will go to her house to borrow money."

"He’s already borrowed one million from Lai Feifei and hasn’t paid it back."

"Lai Feifei wants to refuse, but her brother will pester her relentlessly."

This piece of intel made Li Zhiyan empathize with Aunt Lai. Truly, every family had its own unique struggles.

This was something he had to help Aunt Lai with.

Although he hadn’t known Lai Feifei for long, Aunt Lai had always treated him very well.

Not to mention, she had silently helped him in many ways.

When Aunt Lai faced difficulties, if it was within his power to help,

it was only natural to lend a hand.

"Most of the sales department colleagues have become Liu Jinxin’s besties."

"Because of his close relationship with the student council president, Liu Yichen, the two of them have decided to bully you in the workplace."

This didn’t surprise Li Zhiyan at all.

He spread obnoxious theories all the time, like how men should sit on toilets to pee, or spouted simping philosophies.

It was no wonder most women in the company liked Liu Jinxin, this so-called "male bestie."

As for workplace bullying, that might have worked in the past, when he had nothing and was on the verge of starving to death in Shanghai.

But now, with his golden finger, was he still afraid of something as trivial as workplace bullying?

Now that he had no worries, he would confront anyone he didn’t like. If someone bullied him, he would fight back directly.

So, Li Zhiyan didn’t take anything that dead sissy said seriously.

"Xu Qianqian is currently borrowing from online lenders, and her internet loan still has an eighty-thousand-yuan limit."

"Shen Hongmei will be sleepless until 1:30 AM, pondering why she feels such a strong connection to you and contemplating whether to pursue a relationship with you."

Although this intel didn’t hold much tangible value, it gave Li Zhiyan some peace of mind.

Even the most rational women were emotional deep down.

He was confident he would eventually win over Aunt Shen.

Afterward, Li Zhiyan claimed his system task rewards.

The attributes of [Youth Eternal] were now activated.

Though Li Zhiyan didn’t feel any changes himself, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The biggest obstacle to dating an older woman had been resolved.

"Let’s just get some sleep for now."

As he was about to turn in, the system issued another new task.

"Please impersonate Lai Feifei’s creditor to drive away Lai Tianming."

"Task reward: [100,000 yuan bonus]."

"Once the task is completed, the 100,000 yuan bonus will appear in a future intel refresh."

Li Zhiyan’s eyes lit up with excitement—100,000 yuan!

To him, that was an absolute fortune!

...

At 8:30 AM the next day, Li Zhiyan’s alarm rang.

He rubbed his eyes.

"Another exhausting day..."

"Time to head to the company for registration."

After washing up in the bathroom and planning to head downstairs for a basic breakfast, he saw Zhao Shumin standing at the bathroom door with a rolling pin.

In his mind, Li Zhiyan couldn’t help but recall the phrase: "I’ll beat you to death with this rolling pin!"

This damned shrew—what had he done to offend her again?

But thinking of the intel, he knew she probably wasn’t actually planning to beat him; she wouldn’t dare blatantly attack someone with a weapon.

The last time she used a rolling pin on him was because she mistakenly thought he was harassing her daughter-in-law.

When Zhao Shumin saw Li Zhiyan step out, she returned to the kitchen.

She brought out the breakfast she had prepared for him.

"Xiao Yan, Aunt made you breakfast—come eat."

"The food sold outside isn’t sanitary. It’s better to eat at home."

Looking at Zhao Shumin’s warm expression,

Li Zhiyan couldn’t help feeling a little tempted. The shrew’s cooking was indeed much better than anything outside.

The takeout from outside usually lacked culinary skill, relying entirely on heavy seasoning, with outrageous oil and smoke levels.

But the shrew’s cooking was genuinely delicious.

"Thanks, Aunt."

Li Zhiyan accepted the breakfast, deciding to make peace with Zhao Shumin. After all, they were living under the same roof.

It wasn’t like he could move out immediately after paying six months of rent upfront.

With only a little over 10,000 yuan in savings, Li Zhiyan couldn’t afford to leave. Making peace would at least reduce the awkwardness.

After returning to his room, Zhao Shumin followed him in.

As Li Zhiyan sat at his desk eating, Zhao Shumin took a seat on his bed.

"Xiao Yan, why did you help Aunt yesterday?"

"I mean, I even tore your clothes before."

"I thought you’d hate me."

Zhao Shumin still found it a bit unbelievable.

"Aunt Zhao."

"Honestly, I don’t like you very much."

Li Zhiyan spoke sincerely. He really didn’t care for this shrew.

But he couldn’t deny he was... attracted to her figure. It was such a contradictory feeling.

Still, resolving their conflict would make things easier moving forward.

"But I can’t stand people who hit their own parents. I can tell how much you care about Shang Shunsheng."

"Yet he hits you."

"Back when he was little, didn’t you discipline him?"

Zhao Shumin gave a bitter chuckle.

"A woman’s position in the household has always been the lowest. Before I got divorced from his father, his father wouldn’t even let me sit at the dinner table."

Li Zhiyan couldn’t believe it. In this day and age, such things still existed? Truly, the world was full of surprises.

"Xiao Yan, let’s get along better from now on. Aunt is really grateful to you."

"Alright."

As Li Zhiyan ate Zhao Shumin’s cooking,

he and Zhao Shumin had quietly made peace with each other.

"Xiao Yan..."

Looking at the surprisingly kind-hearted Li Zhiyan in front of her, Zhao Shumin couldn’t hold back.

"Xiao Yan, Aunt knows young people have... certain needs every day..."

"But you should cut back on... daydreaming on your own..."

"It’ll harm your kidneys."

Li Zhiyan widened his eyes. This shrew.

"Aunt Zhao, I seriously don’t..."

But turning his head, he saw Zhao Shumin looking at him with a soft, understanding expression.

"Aunt knows, you’re just embarrassed. But Aunt is older than you."

"What you’re doing with those stockings in your room—Aunt isn’t stupid, you
