Chapter 2788 - 2850: Perfect Logic

When dealing with beautiful women, one must have enough patience; it’s a very smart approach. Of course, it’s not that one shouldn’t be patient with other women, but one should respect women worthy of respect. Li Yifei sat upright on a stool, calling it a stool, but it was one of those tiny little ones. Given Li Yifei’s stature, sitting on it was indeed a bit small, especially since it also had a backrest, making it even more space-consuming. One wonders what the previous tenants of this house were thinking when they bought such a stool.

Li Yifei simply stood up, leaned against the wall on the side, directly facing Wu Shuwei who sat by the bed, arms crossed. From her actions and demeanor, Li Yifei sensed an air of keeping people at a distance emanating from Wu Shuwei. This was not surprising at all; she may have many merits in her work, but in life, she is indeed quite a cold person, sufficiently cold. She’s just sitting there with her eyes seemingly vacant.

"How’s the cat doing? Did it grow big already? I haven’t seen you post its pictures!" Li Yifei broke the silence.

"The cat is doing well," Wu Shuwei mumbled.

That’s it? Li Yifei raised his eyebrows and continued, "Very naughty, right? It’s said that cats are naughty, especially when they’re young."

"Not bad, except for me, it scratches freely around the house!" Wu Shuwei replied.

Well, money gives you that freedom! Li Yifei nodded and asked again, "When you’re away, who helps take care of it?"

"I bought a fully automatic feeder, a water dispenser, and a toilet; theoretically, it wouldn’t be a problem even if I don’t go back for half a month. Besides, it’s impossible for me not to return for half a month," Wu Shuwei said.

"Ah... I thought you would ask someone to take care of it for you!" Li Yifei said.

Wu Shuwei shook her head slightly and said, "That’s my own place, I don’t want anyone else to go there."

Li Yifei actually understood this mindset. The same attitude was why he bought her two cats hoping they’d keep her company. Looking at it now... it seems not very effective, this woman is even more independent than the cats.

He sighed internally; some awkwardness arose suddenly. That’s how conversations are; enthusiasm on one side isn’t enough, both parties need to be enthusiastic, otherwise, it gets awkward. After pondering for a while, Li Yifei asked, "Why did you suddenly enroll in this class? I checked the list, and your name wasn’t on it."

"I wanted to learn something, so I came!" Wu Shuwei said.

Great, that’s strong logic, I give full marks, Li Yifei thought. After holding back a bit, he said, "Well, this college is the best business school in the country; coming here for further studies is good."

"It’s alright, it’s just nearby, no need to go abroad!" Wu Shuwei replied.

Li Yifei shrugged and said, "Thanks for standing up for me earlier, giving that fat guy a good scolding!"

"You’re welcome, I was afraid you’d kill him!" Wu Shuwei said.

"How could I? I’m not a violent person." Li Yifei shook his head.

How couldn’t you? Wu Shuwei had witnessed Li Yifei’s strength and violence. He was always ruthless to enemies. Honestly, even among the women of the Li family, none had experienced as many life-threatening events with Li Yifei as Wu Shuwei did. When they were together, they truly went through many life-and-death situations, mostly Wu Shuwei facing death, with Li Yifei being the one to save her.

Wu Shuwei didn’t respond because she was thinking, making the room fall silent again. Li Yifei could hear Wu Shuwei’s heartbeat, thump, thump, very steady, indicating her mood was calm, even meeting him didn’t arouse any emotions. Li Yifei sighed inwardly, glanced at the time, and said, "Flying in today must have tired you out. Get some rest, and I’ll come call you for dinner around four or five."

"I’ll get up myself," Wu Shuwei said.

"Alright then." What else could Li Yifei say? He shrugged his shoulders, lifted his legs and walked towards the door. When he reached the door, he paused and asked, "Where’s your luggage? You should change into pajamas for sleeping, right? If it’s in the car, I’ll help you get it; this outfit isn’t convenient."

"The luggage is in building seven; I’ll go get it myself," Wu Shuwei replied.

She mentioned building seven but still intended to get it herself. Li Yifei instantly grasped the meaning with a smile and said, "Better if I go; you’re wearing heels; it’s definitely not convenient."

Indeed, Wu Shuwei’s luggage had been delivered beforehand, even by her assistant yesterday. That’s why she traveled lightly, carrying just a small bag when getting off the car.

Li Yifei thought about how Wu Shuwei’s villa had been occupied by the black fatty, so he better hurry to get the luggage, lest that sleazy guy messes with it. After going downstairs, Li Yifei put on his shoes and went out, quickly arriving at villa number seven.

"Who is it?" The black fatty’s impatient voice came from inside. There was more than just him in the room; just having suffered a setback, the fatty had called a few of his men waiting outside the school, both men and women, with the women helping tidy the room and the men listening to him curse.

The one scolded was Li Yifei; without venting his anger today, the fatty felt he wouldn’t be able to sleep.

When his henchman opened the door, seeing Li Yifei coming in, the fatty glared and said, "How dare you come?"

Li Yifei reached out and pushed aside the henchman, not showing any exertion, and the other stumbled backward a few steps, almost falling. Li Yifei’s expression was cold as he said, "Collecting luggage."

"Collecting luggage? I have none of your luggage here." The black fatty wanted his men to make a move.

"This is a school; if you still want to study here, behave. Besides, I’m picking up luggage for that beautiful lady just now!"

"Beautiful lady... Haha, alright, you’re really lucky with chicks. Fine, since it’s a lady’s luggage, I won’t make things difficult for you; we have plenty of chances!" The fatty tilted his head, his bald head nodding repeatedly, and the black muscles on his face quivered along, looking quite repulsive; being fat isn’t a problem, but being black and fat makes one truly lack aesthetic appeal, at least that’s what Li Yifei thought.

Walking inside, two henchmen stood in his way, seemingly unwilling to make room, so Li Yifei either detoured or pushed through. He chose the latter, raising his hand and pushing, making the two split apart and stagger back.

Going upstairs, Li Yifei quickly collected Wu Shuwei’s luggage. Oh my, this woman brought two huge suitcases, presumably packed with clothes. Compared to hers, Li Yifei’s suitcase was a small one, even though he considered his suitcase to be very large.

Carrying the two suitcases downstairs, Li Yifei received hostile gazes from those people, but it didn’t affect him at all. Stepping out briskly, the black fatty grunted heavily, angered by Li Yifei’s arrogance, but unable to lash out directly, so he turned to berate his henchmen instead, "Are you guys useless? Three can’t stop him; a single push and you’re toppled?"

"Young Master, this guy is strange; the two of us have fighting skills yet got pushed away so easily! It’s really unscientific," one henchman said.

"Damn, he’s either a boss or some manager, how powerful can he be? I don’t care, get me his complete profile quickly. If you guys can’t do it, find someone who can. It’s inconvenient to act out in school, but he’ll have to face a beating when he steps out!"

"Yes, Young Master, we’ll investigate right away!" The henchmen replied quickly, and after they left, the fatty’s face relaxed a bit. Looking at the two female assistants, he let out a chuckle, approached one of the assistants, and put his large hand on her plump buttocks, squeezing hard. The assistant leaned against him, whispering, "Young Master, don’t be naughty yet, I still have to help tidy the room."

"Tidying the room, huh? Haha, then go and make the bed for the young master; he’s almost ready to sleep!" The fatty laughed evilly.

"Yes, Young Master!" Both women replied simultaneously and swivelled their hips upstairs. The fatty fleetingly sipped water with a sneer, then followed them upstairs.

It wasn’t just the black fatty investigating Li Yifei; there was someone else as well: Zhang Bai. He had come to the school independently, but he had quite a few people under him. Of course, they primarily investigated Wu Shuwei; getting details on Li Yifei was just incidental. He wasn’t interested in the country bumpkin speaking with a Northern accent; his real concern was Wu Shuwei. If she wasn’t married, and the conditions were favorable, then he could pursue her.

From Wu Shuwei’s behavior today, she wasn’t easy like ordinary women. To get the beauty, it required some effort, and Zhang Bai knew this well, a playful smile lingered on his face because the greater the challenge, the more worthwhile it proved to pursue.

With her name in hand, obtaining information wasn’t hard. An hour later, Zhang Bai acquired the first set of details, which, of course, pertained to Wu Shuwei. Seeing the information, Zhang Bai was ecstatic; damn, if he is a diamond bachelor, then Wu Shuwei is jade, a gem, praised by the masses. Especially reading about her father’s credentials, his eyes sparkled, because what he lacked was the backing; ideally, he’d want one in politics. Zhang Bai once said, if given such a backing, even at a provincial level, he could develop his company into a billion or even multi-billion-dollar entity within a few years. A multi-billion-dollar company in Huaxia could certainly be called a big company.

And Wu Shuwei’s father, who had a chance to enter the cabinet, was perfectly suited for Zhang Bai. A father-in-law like him could provide pivotal support; with him, Zhang Bai even felt that growing his company into a trillion-dollar enterprise wouldn’t be impossible, representing a tremendous opportunity.
