Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 466 Mysterious Man

If we say that fat people all have potential, Lin Zhiyuan is still very handsome when he loses weight.

Although he still looks strong, he is no longer suitable for the nickname "Fatty".

Maybe he has experienced the shock of being cheated, so he looks more mature than his peers.

But he looks like a junior high school student. Not only is Li Yan's mental age different from Lin Zhiyuan's, but his appearance also looks completely different from hers.

Li Yan was originally planning to call him "Fatty", but when she saw that Lin Zhiyuan had grown taller and thinner, she temporarily changed her name to "Zhiyuan", feeling a little sad.

Before you know it, you'll be drifting away from your friends.

"Hey, Uncle Lin, long time no see. I thought it was Auntie driving this red BMW."

"How dare she? Mr. Li, I have to be the one to open it." Lin Qidong laughed softly.

...This tastes wrong, doesn't it?

Lin Zhiyuan came forward and greeted and hugged happily, then sat in the passenger seat.

Li Yan was stunned, "Zhiyuan, don't you want to sit in the back row?"

Lin Zhiyuan patted his head and smiled, "Okay, I'll be right there."

After he sat in the back seat, Lin Qidong turned around and asked, "Mr. Li, are you ready to go?"

...?
Even if you pretend to be stupid you can taste the strange smell here.

"Uncle Lin, Zhiyuan, what's wrong? Why are you so reserved?" Li Yan tried to smile as relaxedly as possible.

"No matter what, you are our family's benefactor. Now you are a talent valued by the country and a big boss with a high status. We should respect you." Lin Qidong said, he looked very nervous.

"That's not necessary. In that case, I might as well get out of the car and ask the driver to come. Zhiyuan is my good friend and gave me a lot of support when I was in elementary school. It's normal for me to help you now that I have the ability. There's no need to express gratitude."

"I understand, thank you." Lin Qidong nodded.

Li Yan was helpless. He also felt something was not right with what he had just said.

Nothing tastes right.

Being confident when it is time to respect others and being overly respectful when it is time to be relaxed.

It seems that in the eyes of others, communicating with Li Yan is not an easy thing now...

"I don't even dare to call you fat." Li Yan patted Lin Zhiyuan.

"Master Yan, I have been exercising for quite a while. Of course, my efforts are nothing more than that in your eyes..."

Having said this, Lin Zhiyuan was stunned by Li Yan's lost expression and stopped talking abruptly.

After a dozen seconds of silence, Li Yan finally spoke:
"Uncle Lin, I remember you drove a black Mercedes-Benz, didn't you?"

"I sold it when it was the most difficult. Later, when I made money, I didn't dare to drive a good car, so I bought a grocery shopping car. I bought this car for Zhiyuan's mother. When Zhiyuan said he was coming to pick you up, I drove this car here."

"Thank you for your hard work, uncle," Li Yan said, "I just wanted to contact you. Thank you for driving."

"Don't do that," Lin Qidong said with a somewhat uncontrolled expression. "It's my duty. Our whole family is suffering from not being able to repay our gratitude. I usually send something to your parents, but they don't want it... driving a car to send you off is not a big deal. There are actually a lot of people waiting for this opportunity..."

Having said that, Lin Qidong also caught a glimpse of Li Yan's playful expression and stopped talking.

"Uncle Lin, Zhiyuan, take a look. If we communicate like this, is it interesting?"

"It's quite boring." Lin Zhiyuan responded directly.

Lin Qidong over there immediately gave him a reproachful look with a frown.

"Mr. Yan, I don't really want to do this." Lin Zhiyuan seemed to have mustered up his courage, "but I have no choice but to do this. You may not look at our elementary school QQ group very much anymore. In the group where you are, everyone is even afraid to talk and has switched to a new group."

Li Yan was stunned.

"Everyone always feels it's unreal, I feel the same way. You are clearly in the group, but no one dares to speak. Instead, they chat about you crazily in the group where you are not. What everyone says the most is that they dare not recognize you as a classmate."

"This... is beyond my expectation."

Li Yan thought that everyone who had been friends with him would try their best to get closer to him.

However, what Lin Zhiyuan said reminded Li Yan of another little thing.

Let’s go back to the time when the boss of Linjiang came to visit Future Technology. When the boss came, the leaders of other departments naturally had to come and “learn” as well.

In view of Li Yan’s “cultural influence”, the old friend Linjiang Cultural Bureau also forced a visit to conduct research.

Lin Heng’s father was also among the “group”, and Li Yan even joked during the chat, “Why don’t Lin Heng come and join in the fun?”

Director Lin waved his hands repeatedly, "He doesn't dare. He doesn't even dare to look for you now."

Li Yan thought that it was to avoid suspicion. After all, he had made a lot of money, so Director Lin had to keep a low profile in front of everyone.

I was too busy later so I didn't talk to Lin Heng.

Now it seems... could it be true?

It is not the behavior of an individual, but a collective one.

"Why are you surprised?" Lin Zhiyuan asked. "That's right. You're too busy right now. Usually, your WeChat chats are full of information. You can't tell how long you haven't chatted with someone."

"I don't quite understand the word 'dare'."

"Gap. Master Yan, we are afraid of being mentioned together with you. This will create an exaggerated pressure. For example, when my friends asked me, 'Isn't Li Yan your good friend?'"

Li Yan seemed to understand something.

"My dear friend, I feel unworthy from the bottom of my heart. Who are you and who am I? You are still my family's benefactor. I think I just happened to be your deskmate when we were young. Anyone can be in this position. You should be in contact with people like Yunzhi. Even if you say I am your good friend, I can't give you any help. I am afraid of disturbing you when I contact you normally, and I am also afraid that you will not reply to me. How dare I say you are my friend outside, I will be laughed at."

"Zhiyuan." Lin Qidong whispered.

"Rock, paper, scissors, Zhiyuan." Li Yan said suddenly without waiting for Lin Zhiyuan to react.

"what?"

"Scissors...rock..."

Li Yan started it without caring about anything.

"cloth!"

When he got nervous, Lin Zhiyuan just took out the cloth.

Li Yan is a fist.

"Look, you've won me, haven't you?" Li Yan said with a smile.

Lin Zhiyuan was really excited for a moment, then immediately put on a speechless expression, "What the hell is this... How can it be called a win?"

But anyway, the weird atmosphere is much better.

Finally, there was a bit of happy atmosphere in the car.

Li Yan didn't bother to care about so many things. He didn't even want to understand what Lin Zhiyuan and those classmates were thinking. He just cared about what he thought.

Before, I was in deep thought because of Chen Fan’s words “We may not want what you want to give us”, but look at the result now?
As long as I, Li Yan, am willing, you don't have to worry about it. If you are really worried, then I am also unwilling.

It's that simple.

"Zhiyuan, I heard that you are working very hard now, and your grades have improved a lot?"

"Not bad..." Lin Zhiyuan decisively gave up the idea of ​​"far worse than you", "Compared to the level I want to reach, there is still a little distance."

“How many places can you get?”

"Top 100." This result was indeed beyond Li Yan's expectations, but he had to control his emotions. At his current level, if he expressed strong emotions, people would easily think he was acting.

Even if he was really surprised.

"You're a talented person. If you continue to develop like this, I'll set up a company for you to run."

Lin Qidong accurately expressed his inner turmoil with an obvious deceleration.

Lin Zhiyuan obviously didn't react and was still considering whether he had the ability to take on this "responsibility".

We chatted and laughed along the way, and soon arrived at where Li Yan's parents were.

This is not the home that Li Yan is familiar with. It is the new house that Li Yan bought for them after he became rich. It can be considered a mansion in Lincheng.

Lin Qidong and his son sent Li Yan to the door and left decisively.

Very insightful.

Although Li Yan was already financially independent, he had lived in an office for many years and had never experienced a "high-end residential area". He happily admired the exquisite decoration at the entrance and prepared to walk straight into the garden.

Then he was stopped by security.

"Hello, who are you looking for? Visitors need to register."

"Room 702, Building , looking for my parents."

The security guard frowned and looked at Li Yan carefully, then quickly flipped through the notebook in his hand. Suddenly, his frown relaxed and a smile instantly appeared on his face.

But when he walked quickly out of the door and saw Li Yan's smile, he suddenly gasped and broke out in a sweat.

This is Li Yan.

The community where Li Yan, who appeared on TV, even used his parents’ move-in as promotional material.

One of the great pleasures of the people of Lincheng over the past six months has been to sit in front of the TV at 7 o'clock in the evening to watch the live news on people's livelihood, and to learn about how the "Sons of Lincheng" are making waves in New Taipei City through the efforts of Lincheng TV Station.

"He is a god."

This is the unanimous evaluation given to Li Yan by the people of Lincheng after dinner.

This emotion reached its peak after Li Yan and Shi Lei had a "secret conversation" a few days ago.

Now this big Buddha has returned home, and I tried to stop him.

There is no shortage of big bosses in Lin City, and the security guard knows how much they need privileges.

A colleague once shared his experience of being fired for no apparent reason. He couldn't figure out what he had done wrong, so he asked the property manager for a pack of cigarettes and got the result.

The day before he forgot to greet a big boss with a smile.

The security guard has already thought of a way out for himself, so he might as well go in and screw in the screws... Although being a security guard in one of the most awesome communities in Rin City is considered a pretty glorious resume, I'm afraid it won't add any extra points to the screw-in job.

"Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you just now and told you that I was a visitor. I'm really..."

"I am indeed a visitor. I don't own a house here." Li Yan smiled. "I am doing my job conscientiously. That's good."

The security guard was stunned and stood at attention immediately, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your recognition!"

Shouldn't we have a few more plates of melon seeds tonight?
A high-quality boss is much better than those old guys who keep talking nonsense!
Li Yan indeed felt that the security guard's responsible attitude made him feel at ease and he was in a good mood.

As he sat in the unfamiliar elevator, an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

Although this place is unfamiliar to him, home is indeed where his parents are.

This feeling of security was something he could never experience in the Future Technology Office.

Even though the office was remodeled according to his ideas, and even though he was familiar with all the arrangements inside, it was not home after all.

Li Chun and Chen Fengling didn't know whether they saw the elevator stop from the surveillance camera in the living room, but they opened the door when Li Yan just walked out of the elevator.

"Welcome home, son!"

Li Yan felt even more fulfilled when she looked at her parents who looked much younger than she remembered.

This "youth" is not only compared to the memories before rebirth, but even compared to before Li Yan came to New Taipei.

Li Chun's overall mental and physical state have improved a lot, Chen Fengling's skin has become better and her complexion has become much rosier.

The two of them were obviously dressed differently from before. Although they were far from being as wealthy as everyone thought, it was very different from the way they used to be when they would not be willing to throw away clothes worth only a few dozen dollars even when they were worn out.

If you pay a little more attention to style, it would be a big improvement.

From a coolie businessman who had to deliver goods to the vegetable market at three in the morning, he has become a successful person famous throughout the city.

Li Chun and Chen Fengling once thought that they could not adapt to this role change, but once the environment changes, people can also change easily. When their daily life became a place where all kinds of dignitaries came to chat and give gifts, they could not change even if they did not want to.

It is always easy to go from frugality to extravagance.

Fortunately, Li Chun and Chen Fengling still have their petty-bourgeois mentality and cautious habits in their bones, which is actually a good thing in such a moment of sudden expansion.

Therefore, all the attacks against Li Chun, the nominal CEO of Future Technology, were blocked.

It can be considered as ignorance defeating a master to a certain extent.

No matter what, as long as it involves money and resources, just tell your son.

They both knew very well that this crazy leap was entirely due to Li Yan.

The son is so much more awesome than his parents, just listen to him.

"Dad, it's rare to see you wearing sportswear."

"I exercise now. My family also bought me a spinning bike. I ride it every now and then. It feels good."

"Very good," Li Yan said, and then turned and entered the small storage room, and saw various cardboard boxes scattered all over the floor, "This... so many?"

"Yes," Chen Fengling showed a complex expression of both distress and laughter, "At first I was very happy to take it, but later I didn't want to take it anymore, but I couldn't refuse it. We didn't need it after we took it, so I had to keep giving it to others."

"What kind of thing is this? I'm just taking something someone else gave me and sending it back. It's just a transfer station!" Li Chun laughed. "Isn't the company busy? How did you find time to come back this time?"

"I'm going to take you to live in New Taipei City." Li Yan said.

After this period of role change, the two no longer mentioned things like "not being able to adapt to the big city". They even thought about leaving because of the lack of exposure and personal connections in small cities.

As a result, the three of them started to communicate, and Li Yan was the one who was most nostalgic for the old streets of Lincheng.

This place carries his memories.

Therefore, even the idea of ​​"going for a stroll in the old street" was proposed by Li Yan. Li Chun and Chen Fengling naturally agreed, but they were worried that Li Yan would be recognized on the street and cause trouble.

"Not really, I'm not a big star." Li Yan smiled, "The security guard at the door didn't recognize me just now. Let's dress low-key and walk over there. Don't go to crowded places."

What Li Yan never expected was that that afternoon, when she and her parents had just walked to the entrance of the old street, she met a young man in a dark blue shirt.

"Mr. Li, this may be a little presumptuous, but please accept this invitation. My host wants to have a chat with you."

When Li Yan heard the words "my master", she couldn't hold back and raised her hand to refuse, "I'm busy..."

“You can’t say no.”

Li Yan was stunned, and a sense of crisis instantly spread all over her body like ants. After all, her parents were still around, so she had to be safe.

So he nodded and took the invitation.

"I won't disturb your leisure and elegance."

After saying this, the man turned and walked towards the alley, and disappeared around the corner.
