SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 41

Chapter 41: 7 Million Received, Li Yanzhuo and Daughter Visit!

TL: YYang

“Lijiang City Government has initiated a remittance of 5,000,000.000 to your Suhang Bank account ending in 7013. Please check your account…”

“Lijiang Education Bureau has initiated a remittance of 2,000,000.000 to your Suhang Bank account ending in 7013. Please check your account…”

(TL: I thought the city government was the one giving 2 million, but oh well)

Just as Zhou Yi was checking the resources, two remittance notification messages appeared on his phone.

“That was fast; the city government is quite efficient.”

Zhou Yi smiled slightly upon receiving the messages.

The total rewards from the city government and the Education Bureau amounted to 7 million.

And 7 million was considered a relatively large sum.

In just one day, the funds had been transferred, showcasing impressive efficiency.

“This 7 million Zhongxia Currency, part will be kept for Little Yun, and the other part will be used for tuition and living expenses at Suhang University.”

Zhou Yi was not a person who indulged in luxury.

Aside from things related to his strength, other matters did not attract him.

Now that he had weapons, equipment, and even potions, he currently had no pressing needs.

Thus, he naturally would not use this money frivolously.

“Little Yun, let’s go to the bank together tomorrow; I’ll help you get a bank card.”

Just as Zhou Yi finished speaking,

Suddenly, a “ding-dong” sound rang out; the doorbell had sounded.

Through the surveillance screen on the wall of the living room, he could see a middle-aged stranger in a suit standing at the door.

Seemingly aware of the camera, he flashed a bright smile at it:

“Hello, I’m your neighbor from the villa next door. My name is Wang Meng. I heard that Mr. Zhou Yi has moved into our community, so I came to pay a visit.”

The magnetic voice came from the hidden speakers embedded in the wall.

From the voice alone, it was clear that this man was likely a successful individual.

“It seems the neighbors already know my identity.”

Shaking his head, Zhou Yi got up to open the door.

Since he had moved into Beiyan Scenic Community, it was important to establish good relations with the neighbors.

After all, his sister Zhou Yun might live here alone in the future.

Getting to know a few more neighbors would help ensure mutual support.

Anyone who came to visit was no fool.

They all knew that giving gifts for no reason at this time would not win goodwill; instead, it might cause some displeasure.

So most people simply came to chat, introduce themselves, and become familiar faces.

Zhou Yi was happy to keep things casual.

Thus, he sent off several waves of visitors.

After sending off another neighbor, a somewhat familiar voice rang out:

“Brother Yi!!”

Following the voice, Zhou Yi saw a girl standing not far to his right.

The girl looked to be around sixteen, with a ponytail and no makeup, yet she appeared exceptionally pretty and delicate.

Beside her stood a middle-aged man with a refined demeanor.

Seeing Zhou Yi looking at him, the man smiled and called out:

“Zhou Yi, long time no see.”

“Uncle Li, Wanting.”

Seeing the two, Zhou Yi was not surprised and directly welcomed them inside.

“Wow, Brother Yi, your house is so big!”

As soon as she entered, Li Wanting was astonished.

Although their family also lived in a standalone villa, in terms of internal area, their home was more than half smaller!

Moreover, the decoration in this villa was much more exquisite than their own home.

“Not bad, not bad.”

“Little Yun, come here for a moment.”

Zhou Yi smiled slightly and called Zhou Yun over, introducing her:

“This is Uncle Li, whom I often mention to you. I used to tutor at his house. This is your sister Wanting, Uncle Li’s daughter.”

“Uncle Li, Sister Wanting,” Zhou Yun greeted obediently.

“What a beautiful little sister!” Upon seeing Zhou Yun, Li Wanting’s eyes lit up, “Brother Yi, is this your relative?”

“Yes, this is my biological sister, Zhou Yun,” Zhou Yi nodded.

“No wonder I thought you two looked a bit alike; turns out you are siblings. Why didn’t you mention it before?” Li Wanting pouted.

If she had known Brother Yi had such a beautiful and cute sister, she would have asked him to bring her along to class long ago!!

“Sorry, sorry, I forgot to tell you, but it’s not too late to know now,” Zhou Yi chuckled to brush it off.

He hadn’t mentioned his sister’s illness to Uncle Li and his family, just to avoid worrying them.

After a pause, he turned to Zhou Yun and said: “Little Yun, since it’s Sister Wanting’s first time at our home, why don’t you show her around?”

“Okay.” Zhou Yun nodded obediently and took Li Wanting inside: “Sister Wanting, we have a courtyard in the back with lots of flowers; let me take you to see…”

“Zhou Yi, you really surprised me! I didn’t expect you to be the provincial top scorer from Suhang Province.”

Once the two left, Li Yanzhuo appropriately spoke up.

However, unlike before, his tone involuntarily carried a hint of caution.

“Uncle Li, even though I became the provincial top scorer, I’m still the same Zhou Yi; you don’t need to be nervous.”

Zhou Yi couldn’t help but smile at the sight.

After all, in the past, Uncle Li had always maintained an image of an elite individual.

“With so many high-ranking officials from the city being so cautious around you, how could I not be nervous?”

Though he said that, upon hearing Zhou Yi’s earlier words, Li Yanzhuo felt a sense of relief.

He had seen people who turned their backs on others once they gained power.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi was not that kind of person.

Zhou Yi had not changed his character, which put Li Yanzhuo at ease, and he gradually relaxed during their conversation.

As a high-level elite managing a large company, he naturally knew how to find topics to discuss.

And although Zhou Yi was only eighteen years old, having lived two lives, he was not awkward in conversation.

Before long, Zhou Yi and Li Yanzhuo were chatting happily.

“You’re leaving on June 20th? That’s so soon?”

Upon hearing that Zhou Yi would report to Suhang University on June 20th, Li Yanzhuo was somewhat surprised.

“What about your sister? Are you comfortable leaving her here alone?”

“That’s exactly what I’m worried about,” Zhou Yi sighed.

He was not going to Suhang University for leisure; he was going to improve his strength and train under a instructor.

Moreover, as a top university, Suhang University would certainly not allow students to be idle every day.

There might even be arrangements for practical combat missions, and it was possible he wouldn’t return to school for one or two months.

So, without clarity on the situation there, he couldn’t bring his sister Zhou Yun to Ning’an for care.

Even if he wanted to take her, he would need to wait until he got a grasp of the situation there and established himself before bringing Zhou Yun over.

“I’ve already talked to my second aunt; she will come over for two days each week.”

“However, during the usual times, I might need to trouble Uncle Li and you to look after her,” Zhou Yi said sincerely.

Although Zhou Yun was more mature than other girls her age, she was still only fourteen.

Living here alone, he would feel somewhat uneasy.

But with his second aunt and Uncle Li around, he could feel a bit more at ease.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. Wanting and your sister are only two years apart; they should be able to get along quickly.” Li Yanzhuo quickly patted his chest and made a promise.

No joke, this was a great opportunity to deepen his relationship with the provincial top scorer; how could he refuse?

“In that case, I’ll trouble you, Uncle Li.” Zhou Yi thanked him earnestly.

With that, he felt much more at ease regarding his sister Zhou Yun’s safety.

Of course, before leaving, he would buy a few magical scrolls and enchanted equipment for self-defense for Zhou Yun.

That way, he could ensure everything was foolproof.
