Zhu Yueting settled in and chose a room on the second floor.
Since Ling Yi didn't pay Gao Sheng rent, he naturally wouldn't ask Zhu Yueting for rent. Besides, Ling Yi isn't short of money right now.
That evening, Ling Yi finally witnessed Zhu Yueting's culinary skills.
Stir-fried cured pork, pork ribs and green beans, pickled fish, stir-fried eggs with green peppers, and a winter melon soup.
Four dishes and a soup, quite presentable.
Ling Yi was very satisfied with the young cook.
After finishing his meal, Ling Yi called home to let them know he was safe and sound, and then called Yin Hailing to send her one point of Vow Power Points.
Only then did I lie down in bed and begin to organize what I had learned that day.
A white window with black text floated in front of Ling Yi.

[ System Space: Learning Card x10, Investment Card x2, Advancement Card x1, Cash x429954]
I remotely swiped two Learning Card, two Vow Power Points, and five Affection from Yin Hailing.
I swiped an Investment Card, 1 Vow Power Points, and 5 points of Affection from Zhu Yueting.
The cash prize reached over 420,000, plus two chances to Lottery.
Yin Hailing's Affection reached 80 points, earning her a chance to Lottery.
"System, you've used up both of your Lottery chances."
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have won 100,000 cash!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn Luck Card x1 (worth 50 Vow Power Points )]
Luck Card: After use, your Luck value will be at maximum for ten minutes. You can use it yourself or give it to someone else.
100,000 in cash is so-so, but this Luck Card is pretty good. I just don't know what effect the maximum Luck value will have.
"With such a powerful cheat code, we should probably make some adjustments to our plans."
Ling Yi lay on the bed, his mind replaying the events of his previous life, with images of various people flashing before his eyes.
Some previously vague memories have gradually become clearer.
Unbeknownst to him, Ling Yi drifted off to sleep with a smile on his face.
The next day, Ling Yi got up before five o'clock. He used two Constitution Card, and his physical fitness was now far beyond that of ordinary people. He only needed three or four hours of sleep to ensure he had enough energy.
Stepping out of the bedroom, Ling Yi entered the villa's courtyard.
The courtyard is paved with white ceramic tiles, and has a flower bed and a small pond.
However, the pond had long since dried up, and the flowerbeds were indistinguishable from the flowers, with more and more lush stalks than flowers.
The wall was covered with ivy, but Young Master Ye and many withered ones.
The courtyard was not small, but it gave off a sense of dilapidation.
I'll get someone to clean it up later.
Ling Yi opened the courtyard gate and walked out, strolling south along the main road of the residential area.
Although the villas in Nanhu Residential Complex are all the same size, the owners are different, and each one has its own unique decoration.
Most of them have undergone secondary renovations.
For example, Ling Yi's neighbor's house has its exterior walls decorated with dark brown wood, and various ivy-like vines are planted on the walls, making it look like a wooden cabin in the woods.
Compared to Gao Sheng's villa, this one is much more upscale.
Just then, a data panel emerged from the entrance of the villa.
Ling Yi's eyes lit up, and he murmured, "What a coincidence!"
[ Yao Hongyuan ]
[Appearance rating: 96]
[ Affection: 0]
[Current wish: That bastard Li Yan, he lives off me, uses my money, and still dares to go out and have Xiao San! I have to get a divorce, and it would be best if I could leave with nothing.]
It really was Yao Hongyuan, Sister Yao.
The creator of Find Things to Do Network was both his competitor and his benefactor in his previous life.
A true strong woman.
Find Things to Do Network was originally founded by her husband, Li Yan.
Li Yan is a good-for-nothing Little White, a freeloader.
With his good looks and smooth talk, he managed to hook up with Sister Yao, a rich and beautiful woman.
His purpose in creating the Find Things to Do Network was not to start a business, but simply to swindle money from Yao Hongyuan.
Find Things to Do Network was founded in the first half of 1999, but it didn't officially start operating until 2001 after Yao Hongyuan took over.
It gradually became a white-collar business Legend.
Before that, it was just an empty shell.
Although it's just a shell company, it has all the necessary permits and employees.
What's most interesting is that many of the people Li Yan casually recruited turned out to be top talents, which became the foundation for the Later Find Things to Do Network.
According to Ling Yi's original plan, he would Find Things to Do Network ahead of schedule and use the outstanding talents on Find Things to Do Network to gradually build his own business empire.
It's important to know that Yao Hongyuan didn't initially intend to run Find Things to Do Network.
According to her own account, the reason she took over the business was because Guan Yue, the company's general manager and one of the main founders of Find Things to Do Network three times and won her over with his sincerity.
Guan Yue is the chief planner of Find Things to Do Network.
Guan Yue and Yao Hongyuan, one in charge of internal affairs and the other in charge of external affairs, worked together perfectly to get the Find Things to Do Network up and running.
Ling Yi Guan Yue a few times. She was an absolute powerhouse, incredibly intelligent, a Programming expert, and possessed a precise understanding of the market with a very forward-thinking mindset.
They are flamboyant, domineering, and like to use their power to intimidate others.
Ling Yi didn't have a particularly good impression of Guan Yue.
However, for some reason, Guan Yue Later left Find Things to Do Network. Ling Yi was unsure of the specific reasons.
Ling Yi has basically given up on the idea of acquiring Find Things to Do Network.
Starting your own business is too tiring. In his previous life, he worked hard for nearly ten years, but his savings never exceeded two million.
His business failed, the company went bankrupt, and not only did he lose the two million he had earned, he also incurred a debt of two million.
During that period, I worked from dawn till dusk, always on edge. Although I was full of enthusiasm, I was mostly just a slave to myself.
That was simply not a life fit for a human being.
Now that he has the system's cheat code, putting everything else aside, just issuing an Investment Card would likely yield returns several times, or even dozens of times, greater than his peak performance.
So why bother!
Yao Hongyuan truly lives up to her reputation as a beauty with a score of 96.
Her face closely resembles Zhou Zhiruo from the 2003 TV series, the headlights of Cang Ming from the Legend of the Condor Heroes, and Peng Jiahe's long legs.
Long hair, coupled with a black tracksuit—who wouldn't be confused by that?
To be honest, Ling Yi really wants to ask that guy named Li Yan a question right now.
With such good looks and a wife with tens of millions in savings by his side, what the hell would he do to go looking for Xiao San?
Is it really true that food eaten secretly tastes better? Ling Yi disagrees, Sister Li.
Yao Hongyuan had already seen Ling Yi, and felt a sense of unease towards the boy who kept staring at her.
[Ding, Yao Hongyuan's Affection towards you -10]
Hearing the system notification, Ling Yi finally snapped out of his chaotic thoughts.
What's going on? I lost 10 points of Affection right at the start?
However, when Ling Yi saw Yao Hongyuan's disgusted look, he immediately realized that he had been misunderstood.
Just then, Yao Hongyuan ran to Ling Yi's side, and as they were about to pass each other, Ling Yi spoke.
"Room 3036, Good Home Hotel, Li Yan!"
Upon hearing Ling Yi's words, Yao Hongyuan immediately stopped in her tracks and frowned as she looked at Ling Yi.
Ling Yi remained silent, simply gazing at the delicious-looking Xiu Se before him.
In his previous life, Ling Yi and Yao Hongyuan's paths crossed seven or eight years later.
Yao Hongyuan was already thirty-six or thirty-seven years old at that time. Although she was still very charming, she was no longer young.
Now, Yao Hongyuan twenty-seven years old, the time when she is at the peak of her charm and maturity.
One look at it, and it's either adding to your lifespan or shortening it!
"Do you know Li Yan?" Yao Hongyuan asked.
"I've seen him many times, with a woman, a very ordinary woman, in room 3036 of the Good Home Hotel."
In reality, Ling Yi had neither met Li Yan nor the Xiao San.
These were the words Yao Hongyuan said to Ling Yi when she was drunk in her previous life.
According to Yao Hongyuan's description, the woman Li Yan found was a very ordinary woman, but she didn't know exactly how ordinary she was.
"What do you want?" Yao Hongyuan asked coldly.
Ling Yi shook his head, said nothing, and turned to walk towards Villa Number Seven.
"What's your name?" Yao Hongyuan called out to Ling Yi's the Back.
" Ling Yi, Ling as in 'reaching the Ling Jue,' Yi as in 'strange.'" Ling Yi waved his hand and said without turning his head. Ling Yi looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. His face was clearly full of immaturity, but he gave people a very awkward feeling.
Especially his eyes, which were completely out of character for someone so young and innocent.
This aroused Yao Hongyuan's great curiosity about the boy.
"An interesting little guy."
However, the most important thing now is to solve Li Yan's problem.
If what Ling Yi said is true, then she is confident that she can make that bastard Li Yan leave with nothing.
On the other side, as soon as Ling Yi entered the room, he saw a slender figure busy in the kitchen.
The aroma of millet porridge gave Ling Yi a strange sense of home.
"Up so early?" Ling Yi asked.
"Huh? You're back from outside? I thought you were still sleeping!" Zhu Yueting was startled by Ling Yi's words.
"I went out for a walk."
Zhu Yueting quickly came out carrying a clay pot.
"I just checked, and although all the kitchen utensils are new and unused, they need to be cleaned and tidied up. Some of them are still in their packaging!"
"Although the bedding is all new, and many are still unopened, I want to buy new ones. I don't feel comfortable using other people's things."
"We don't know how much is left in the water, electricity, and gas bills, or how long it will last. It's best to check."
"In addition, the yard needs to be cleaned up; the weeds in the flower beds need to be removed, and the ivy on the walls needs to be cleared..."
