If one day the Shanghai Three Aunts could peacefully coexist, wouldn’t that be wonderful?
"Zaizai, give auntie a kiss!"
As she spoke, Lai Feifei moved in to kiss Li Zhiyan on the lips. Thinking about what had just happened, Li Zhiyan felt a bit uneasy inside.
"Auntie, I have to head to work first, need to clock in at the office, it’s about ti!"
"Mm, alright, be good then, go ahead."
Shen Hongi put her leg down and, seeing Lai Feifei not reacting, moved Feifei’s leg off her lap.
"Crazy woman, let Xiao Yan go to work!"
After successfully escaping, Li Zhiyan left the private room, only to hear "crazy woman" and "shaless tramp" being yelled from inside.
This made Li Zhiyan’s forehead break out in a slight cold sweat.
He knew, his wishful thinking was just too much—although the Shanghai Three Aunts treated him exceptionally well, none of them were easy to deal with.
It seed like he’d have to take things slow, but Li Zhiyan had about twenty-five percent confidence in achieving his goal.
After all, his capability was one-of-a-kind in this world.
...
Back at the office, Li Zhiyan finished clocking in and returned to his workstation.
He originally thought Catherine might co to him—there were only three agreents left, and Catherine would surely be anxious.
She always seed eager to fulfill the agreents quickly, then use all kinds of ways to set him up.
But Catherine wasn’t there, nor were Liu Yichen and Jinxin.
Li Zhiyan walked over to Wang Ya and asked, "Sister Wang, did the CEO not co today?"
"Mm, reportedly she took her son to entertain the Chairman’s Wife. Such a good opportunity requires showing so face. After all, the CEO’s husband is just a minor shareholder at Changlong International."
"Also, a couple of newly hired senior executives are there too."
"The Chairman’s Wife is the spouse of the largest shareholder in the parent company’s board of directors. Her power within the company is enormous. I’ve heard she lives in Tang Palace."
"Tang Palace?"
"The luxury residence in Shanghai where each square ter costs tens of thousands?"
"Yes."
"Doesn’t one unit start at billions?"
"Mm, one unit there could buy several of Tangchen Yipin."
"Tangchen Yipin is just heavily marketed online, but in this land-scarce city of Shanghai, it doesn’t really rank."
"For ordinary people like us, it’s not even worth dreaming of."
Once again, Li Zhiyan felt the sting of his own poverty. His main goal was rely to obtain one hundred million in cash and a villa in Shanghai.
Even with one hundred million, he’d still be a complete pauper compared to the Chairman’s Wife.
"The Chairman’s Wife’s family background must be extraordinary, right? Is she a second-generation rich kid?"
"Second-generation rich? That might not be accurate. Madam Yu Nianyao—her grandmother was apparently the second generation of wealth."
"During the Republic era, they were already a prominent family in Shanghai."
"I’ve heard Madam Yu Nianyao has an exceptional deanor—the kind of refined air you’d expect from a young lady of a distinguished family with a literary tradition."
"Now she exudes the elegance of a noblewoman."
"But isn’t it obvious—if you’re a wealthy matron with hundreds of billions, your daily life is practically built with money. How could you not have poise?"
Upon hearing the na Yu Nianyao, Li Zhiyan couldn’t help but envision her as a woman of extravagant grace.
"What’s the Chairman’s Wife doing here?"
"I’m not sure. But apparently, she will be visiting our branch more frequently from now on. In a couple of days, you’ll probably et her. Maybe it’s to evaluate candidates for the next CEO position?"
"Oh, and about those two senior executives."
"One is called Yin Deli, the other is Jiang Xiuning."
"This Jiang Xiuning is the mixed-race person I ntioned earlier; she’s probably quite pretty."
"You’ll see them both in a few days."
"Maybe Catherine will hold back from bullying you, given the potential rivals she might face in the future."
Wang Ya looked at her younger colleague with so sympathy in her gaze.
"Alright, got it, Sister Wang. I’m off for the day."
"Bye-bye."
After leaving the office, Li Zhiyan received a phone call from Lai Feifei.
Once they’d finalized the restaurant for tonight’s dinner, Li Zhiyan hopped on his bike and set off. On the road, he couldn’t help but think about the Chairman’s Wife, Yu Nianyao, and just how much money she had.
With hundreds of billions, her influence in Shanghai was certainly among the very top.
Although Li Zhiyan knew Shanghai was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, hundreds of billions out in the open was already an unbeatable level of wealth.
If his bank account ever held hundreds of billions, his confidence would multiply by at least several dozen tis.
...
At the restaurant, the Shanghai Three Aunts had already gathered.
"Shaless tramp, filthy floozy!"
The drunken Lai Feifei began launching verbal attacks on her two good sisters. In her mind right now, Shen Hongi and He Yanrong were both threats trying to steal her Zaizai.
"Feifei, I won’t fight you over the baby."
"You can rest assured."
"I don’t believe that. Weren’t you the first one to confess to Zaizai back then? And you did it under the guise of learning Go, just to get close and intimate with him!"
"Feifei, you should know about the ti I chose to be with the restaurant owner."
"What happened to that man under Liu Hongjie’s hand—surely you know? If I were to be with the baby, it would bring him danger."
"That’s the kind of thing I definitely wouldn’t do."
Hearing this, Lai Feifei suddenly recalled how He Yanrong had proactively helped Shen Hongi be with Li Zhiyan in the past.
Her heart slowly dropped its guard toward He Yanrong. She knew Yanrong was fond of Li Zhiyan, but she was also deeply concerned about Zaizai’s safety.
