Rebirth of wealth and freedom starts from the World Cup

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight quietly entered the room, covering the quiet space with a layer of soft golden gauze, Zhao Zixuan slowly woke up from his deep sleep.

His eyes gradually focused, and the first thing that caught his eye was the peaceful and beautiful face beside him - she was like a sleeping cow, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, looking exceptionally quiet and innocent.

A cynical smile appeared on Zhao Zixuan's lips. He gently adjusted his posture, fearing that he would disturb the tranquility.

Then, he looked carefully at Huang Yingying beside him. Her long eyelashes gently covered her eyelids, trembling slightly with her breathing, like the most gentle scenery in the morning light.

Her cheeks were lightly pink, and the sunlight coming in through the window made her skin look even whiter than snow, making her incredibly beautiful.

He couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently touch her soft hair with his fingertips, feeling a slight coolness and indescribable tenderness.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, all worries and noise were isolated, and only the two of them were left, leaning on each other in the tranquility of the early morning.

“BOSS… BOSS…”

Huang Yingying suddenly made a sound like she was talking in her sleep, as if she was dreaming?
Zhao Zixuan raised his eyebrows and looked down to observe Huang Yingying's reaction.

I saw that her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she encountered some puzzled problem in her dream, but that faint smile was still hanging on the corner of her mouth, which made her look both contradictory and cute.

Zhao Zixuan pinched her delicate little nose and mischievously waited for the scene where she would wake up because she couldn't breathe smoothly.

"Well...don't...don't do this..."

Huang Yingying was sleeping very deeply and could not wake up even like this. She seemed to have dreamed of some terrible scene and her body was trembling slightly.

When Zhao Zixuan saw this, his heart suddenly tightened, realizing that his prank might have really scared Huang Yingying.

He quickly let go of her hand, feeling somewhat regretful.

"Yingying?"

He called her name softly, trying to calm her down, but Huang Yingying seemed to be deeply trapped by the horrific scene in her dream, unable to escape.

"Yingying, wake up, it's okay, it's just a dream."

Zhao Zixuan gently shook her shoulders, hoping to wake her up from the nightmare.

However, Huang Yingying's body was still trembling slightly, her brows were furrowed, and a painful expression appeared on her face.

Zhao Zixuan guessed that she must be experiencing a very scary dream, and all he could do was to try his best to make her feel safe and warm.

He gently held her in his arms and wrapped her with his body temperature, hoping to dispel the chill and fear in her dream.

He stroked her hair and spoke soothing words to her softly, as if he were comforting a frightened child.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here and I will protect you."

Zhao Zixuan's voice was full of tenderness. Gradually, Huang Yingying's body relaxed a lot and stopped shaking.

"BOSS..." Huang Yingying's voice was a little hoarse, and something seemed a little wrong.

"You don't have a fever, do you?"

Zhao Zixuan's worries were not unnecessary. When he gently placed his palm on Huang Yingying's forehead, he immediately felt an unusual heat.

He immediately became nervous, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of concern.

"Yingying, you have a fever!"

There was a hint of anxiety in Zhao Zixuan's voice.

He quickly sat up from the bed, ready to find some antipyretic medicine for Huang Yingying or take other emergency measures.

Huang Yingying also realized her physical condition. She tried to sit up, but her body was soft and she had no strength.

She looked at Zhao Zixuan, her eyes full of apology and helplessness.

"I'm sorry, Boss. I might have... gotten too cold... The air conditioner was a bit cold last night..."

Hearing this, Zhao Zixuan remembered that she seemed to have kicked the quilt last night, and immediately understood the reason. He comforted her and said, "Don't say that, Yingying, it's not your fault. The air conditioner temperature may have been set too low last night. I shouldn't have asked you to take off your clothes."

As he said this, he gently pushed Huang Yingying back onto the bed and let her lie down to rest.

"What you need now is rest and recovery. Don't think about anything else. I will be here with you until you get better."

As Zhao Zixuan spoke, he took out a thin quilt from the cabinet next to him and gently covered Huang Yingying with it to make sure she would not catch a cold again.

Huang Yingying felt Zhao Zixuan's care and consideration, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She looked at Zhao Zixuan gratefully and said softly, "Thank you, Boss. It's all my fault. I can't take care of you for the time being..."

Zhao Zixuan interrupted Huang Yingying: "Don't say that, Yingying. Now is the time when you need care. How can I let you take care of me? It is most important for you to rest and recover your health."

Huang Yingying was touched and felt that she had followed the right person. She said deeply, "Thank you, Boss. I feel really at ease with you by my side."

Zhao Zixuan smiled and patted the back of Huang Yingying's hand, giving her encouragement and comfort. "Don't worry, Yingying. I will always be here with you until you fully recover. Tell me what you need, and I will do my best to satisfy you."

Afterwards, Zhao Zixuan carefully checked the temperature and humidity in the room to ensure that they were in the most suitable state, which would be conducive to Huang Yingying's rest and recovery.

He also asked the hotel waiter to prepare antipyretic medicine and some light and easily digestible food for Huang Yingying so that she could replenish her energy after waking up.

Under Zhao Zixuan's careful care, Huang Yingying gradually relaxed and soon fell asleep.

Seeing Huang Yingying finally fall asleep peacefully, Zhao Zixuan also felt relieved.

But at this moment, someone knocked on the hotel door. In order not to disturb Huang Yingying's rest, Zhao Zixuan had to quickly go to the door and open it.

"Zixuan, why are you sweating so much so early in the morning? Did you steal last night?"

Li Zekai's sudden appearance surprised Zhao Zixuan. Zhao Zixuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly adjusted his expression, trying not to let Li Zekai's voice wake up Huang Yingying.

He said softly, "Why are you here? Let's talk outside."

No matter what, Li Zekai is Li Yanning's uncle. If he sees Huang Yingying lying in his room, even if nothing happened, it would be easy for people to have wild imaginations.

As Zhao Zixuan spoke, he pulled Li Zekai out of the room, trying to be as gentle as possible so as not to disturb Huang Yingying who was still resting.

"Uncle Li, why are you here so early? Is there something urgent?"

Zhao Zixuan asked in a low voice after closing the door.

Li Zekai looked at Zhao Zixuan's slightly tired but still calm face, and secretly guessed the situation in the room.

But he didn't ask any more questions, just simply replied: "It's like this, I have sent someone to find the person you are looking for, Julian Assange, and I wanted to ask you to go and see him together. But judging from you, did you not sleep well last night?"

Zhao Zixuan heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Really? Uncle Li, you are amazing! You found it so quickly, where is Assange?"

Li Zekai explained: "He is at the Ecuadorian Embassy in the UK."

Zhao Zixuan said: "This guy is really good at hiding. He actually hid in Ecuador. The email scandal was so serious, but he acted like nothing happened."

Zhao Zixuan's expression turned from surprise to contemplation, and he realized the complexity and sensitivity behind Julian Assange's hiding in the Ecuadorian Embassy in the UK.

"Uncle Li, this is indeed a tricky situation. Assange is there, how can we approach him? Also, will this attract more international attention?"

Li Zekai nodded, indicating that he understood Zhao Zixuan's concerns.

He said: "It is true that Assange's identity and what he has done have made him a target of public criticism. However, I have communicated with Ecuador through some channels. Although they are cautious about Assange's asylum, they have not completely closed the window for dialogue. We can try to contact him through diplomatic channels."

Zhao Zixuan nodded thoughtfully, "The diplomatic route... this is indeed a relatively safe way. However, we need to do it as soon as possible, because the longer we delay, the greater the variables will be."

Li Zekai agreed: "Yes, I have already arranged the next plan. We will first make formal contact with the Ecuadorian government to express our wishes and goals. At the same time, I will also contact some influential friends in the international community to see if they can provide us with some help."

Zhao Zixuan looked at Li Zekai gratefully, "Uncle Li, thank you so much. I feel a lot more relaxed with you around."

Li Zekai smiled and patted Zhao Zixuan on the shoulder. "You are so polite to me, kid. We are friends and partners. Besides, you will marry Yan Ning in the future, so our relationship will be even closer. As the saying goes, we are one family and don't have different opinions. Your business is my business. I will definitely do my best to help you."

When Zhao Zixuan heard Li Zekai mention his and Li Yanning's future, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. After all, he himself had never thought about whether to marry Li Yanning.

But he quickly adjusted his mood and changed the subject, saying: "This matter makes me feel a little tricky. Assange is in the Ecuadorian Embassy in the UK. This is not just a geographical distance issue, but also involves international relations and diplomacy. I am worried that my actions may bring unnecessary trouble to you and the Li family."

Li Zekai shook his head and said, "Zixuan, you don't have to worry about this. Although our Li family is not a wealthy family, we have been working in the business world for so many years and have accumulated a certain amount of connections and resources. Moreover, we have always done things in an open and aboveboard manner and are not afraid of anyone's criticism or accusations. As for Assange's matter, since I have decided to help him, I will do my best."

After a pause, his eyes narrowed: "However, there is one thing I am quite curious about. What magic does Assange have that deserves your attention?"

Zhao Zixuan's eyes turned serious when he heard this. He said slowly, "Uncle Li, Assange is not only a legendary hacker, he also represents information transparency and the public's right to know. He has revealed many unknown truths through WikiLeaks. These truths may have affected the interests of some people, but they are valuable assets for the whole society. I admire his courage and determination. I think he is a true fighter."

"Take the email scandal that was exposed this time, for example. If Assange hadn't exposed it, the contents of the emails that might have never been known to the public might have become a tool for some people to manipulate the election and cover up the truth."

Li Zekai nodded repeatedly, and then said with some concern: "But this incident is quite serious. Assange may have been targeted. If you want to recruit Assange, you may get into trouble."

Zhao Zixuan seemed very calm and said calmly: "I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will act carefully and ensure my safety. After TikTok is successfully listed, I will return to China."

Li Zekai's eyes flickered with admiration: "You are amazing. You bet on Ivanka so early. To be honest, sometimes I doubt whether you have the ability to predict the future. Whether it is the World Cup or investment, you always see things that others cannot see."

There was a mixture of joking and seriousness in Li Zekai's words, as well as a hint of inquiry. He always admired Zhao Zixuan's keen insight and judgment.

Zhao Zixuan smiled and said, "I don't have any ability to predict the future. I just watch, listen and think more. As for Ivanka, her ability and charm are obvious to all. I believe that if a family has such an outstanding daughter, there must be an equally outstanding father."

"However," Zhao Zixuan changed the subject and continued, "Cooperating with Ivanka is only part of our plan. What's more important is how to use the influence of the Jews to advance our business. For now, TikTok's listing is the direction we need to focus on next."

……

Just when the two were chatting enthusiastically, Li Yanning, dressed in gorgeous clothes, suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Oh, you guys were so engrossed in your conversation that you didn't even notice me."

Li Yanning joked with a smile, with a hint of playfulness and kindness in her voice.

She walked up to the two of them and naturally joined their conversation.

"Second Uncle, Zixuan, it seems like you are discussing something important?"

Li Yanning asked curiously, his eyes moving between the two people, trying to capture more information.

Zhao Zixuan and Li Zekai smiled at each other, then briefly introduced to Li Yanning what they had just discussed. Of course, they mostly avoided the important issues, because there were many issues that were not convenient to reveal directly to Li Yanning.

"Since Yan Ning is here, I won't disturb your world of two."

Li Zekai and Li Yanning exchanged a few words and wanted to leave.

Zhao Zixuan said politely: "Since you are here, why don't you stay and have lunch together?"

Li Yanning added: "Yes, Uncle, my friend recommended a Michelin restaurant to me, and I was planning to take Zixuan there to try it out. Shall we go together?"

Li Zekai's eyes flickered between Zhao Zixuan and Li Yanning, and he said jokingly, "Forget about lunch, but I'm looking forward to eating your wedding candy. You two better work hard!"

Li Yanning's face flushed slightly, and she said coquettishly: "Second Uncle..."

Li Zekai smiled and waved his hands, "Okay, no more jokes, I have an appointment too, just enjoy your time alone together."

He had only taken two steps when he suddenly remembered something. He turned to face Li Yanning and his tone became more serious: "By the way, Yanning, I have to tell you something. Recently, your grandfather has been very concerned about you and Zixuan's affairs."

Li Yanning's face turned even redder when she heard this. She glanced at the promising young man Zhao Zixuan beside her, and a hint of shyness and expectation flashed in her beautiful eyes. (End of this chapter)
