Facts have proven that people with backgrounds enjoy a completely different treatment from ordinary people.
Even if the background is fake, it will bring many unimaginable benefits.
If it weren’t for having old ties with the Huang family, Li Guoren would not have argued strongly on his behalf, nor would he have worked so hard to clear his “suspicion of being a spy”.
Even if that was just a bunch of bluffing, in Li Guoren’s view, the young man beside him was not only an old friend of the ambassador’s wife, but also came from a wealthy Nanyang family himself.
For such a young master, of course, it wasn’t just a matter of carefully attending to him, but also seizing the opportunity to befriend him.
After all, with the war of resistance rising, what does China rely on to fight?
It doesn’t just rely on the flesh and blood of four hundred million compatriots, but also on the donations of tens of millions of overseas Chinese.
As a diplomat, how could Li Guoren not know that before the fall of Nanyang, overseas Chinese remittances and donations accounted for 80% of government expenditures.
Naturally, he also knew that the influence of overseas Chinese leaders on the high levels was unmatched by ordinary people.
Even if Nanyang is occupied by the Japanese right now, what about the future?
The Japanese are bound to be defeated in the future, and Nanyang will eventually be taken back by the British, the French, and the Dutch.
Taking the opportunity to befriend a young master of a declining wealthy Nanyang family was definitely a sound move!
Whether in officialdom or business, it would definitely bring him a hundred benefits and no harm.
Consequently, harboring such thoughts, Li Guoren brought the newly recognized “brother of the same surname” to an apartment rented long-term by the embassy.
“Worthy brother, I am very sorry.
The conditions here are simple.
Please make do for a while, and we’ll make plans after the ambassador and his wife return.”
Opening the door, Li Guoren’s tone was full of apology.
“Oh, listen to what you’re saying, elder brother.
I drifted to London as a refugee.
To have a place to rest is already satisfying enough.
If I hadn’t met you, elder brother, I fear I wouldn’t have even found a place to settle down.”
While speaking, Li Yi’an bowed deeply to express his gratitude.
“Elder brother’s great kindness, I will never forget it.”
It’s good that you know.
Li Guoren hurriedly said.
“Look at you, treating me like an outsider again.
You and I both have the surname Li, brothers of the same surname.
If I don’t help you, who should I help?
Alright, you were tossed around by the foreign devils in the police station all night.
I suppose you’re exhausted too, so get a good rest.
I have to return to the embassy to report back, and take the opportunity to process your temporary certificate.
As for the passport, we’ll talk about it when the ambassador returns…”
Li Guoren was also crisp and efficient.
He didn’t continue to deepen their emotional bond here, but took the initiative to take his leave.
After all, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Having a background…
Looking at the extremely enthusiastic brother of the same surname, Li Yi’an couldn’t help but sigh with emotion in his heart.
He had originally been worrying about things like identification documents.
You see, now someone has directly solved it for him.
“In that case, I will have to trouble you, elder brother.”
With that said, there were deep bows and tears of gratitude.
This gratitude had to be shown.
“Look at you, being polite with me again!”
Li Guoren, standing by the door, pointed at him with a smile, looking entirely like a family brother.
“Alright, you sleep first.
By the way…”
Just as he was about to step out the door, as if thinking of something, Li Guoren took a small booklet out of his pocket and said:
“This is my ration book, keep it for use first.”
As he spoke, he stuffed it into Li Yi’an’s hand.
“This, how can this do, big brother.
No, if you give it to me, what will you eat?”
“Look at you, you’ve already called me big brother, and you’re still treating me like an outsider.
The embassy has separate rations.
I usually eat and live at the embassy and have no use for this thing.
You take it to use first, and return it to me when yours is processed.
Moreover, this ration book can also serve as proof of identity.
This is for diplomatic personnel.
Even if you run into the police, you don’t have to worry, so it will be more convenient for you to walk around outside.”
After specifically emphasizing the usefulness of the ration book, Li Guoren teased again:
“Without this, what will you eat?
What, could it be that you want someone to call the police again, or perhaps trick someone for money and sex?
Alright, alright, our own brother, why be so polite.”
This…
Before Li Yi’an could say thanks, the door was closed.
Listening to the fading footsteps in the corridor and looking at the ration book in his hand, Li Yi’an couldn’t help sighing with emotion:
“What a good man!”
A good man!
Absolutely a good man.
While he was sighing, the light screen flashed.
[Persuaded others through words to help oneself obtain free accommodation.
Experience points +20?]
Holy crap!
It can actually increase so many experience points!
Come to think of it, how expensive is rent in London! This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
Being able to secure free accommodation with just his mouth, of course it would increase experience points.
[Attribute function unlocked.
Do you wish to view?]
Li Yi’an naturally chose to view without any hesitation.
The information appeared on the light screen.
Currently mastered skills: Business: lv1 Psychology: lv1 Corporate Management: lv2 …
Seeing the last item, Li Yi’an immediately grimaced, his mood a complex one.
Business and Psychology were given by the system, but the Corporate Management he studied in college actually turned into a skill too!
It was evaluated as an lv2 level!
But what the hell is the use of this!
“My head must have been caught in a door back then to choose this major.
If you had studied pharmacology or something, even veterinary pharmacology would have been fine.
Anyway, humans and animals aren’t that different; if you created penicillin, wouldn’t you strike it rich…”
Although complaining like this verbally, what surprised Li Yi’an was that judging from the levels, these skills could be upgraded!
“Today experience points increased, unlocking attributes.
That is to say, as long as skills are continuously upgraded, more functions can be obtained?”
When that time comes, what kind of functions will the system provide?
Staring at the light screen, Li Yi’an couldn’t help but rub his hands together eagerly, preparing to train one skill to the extreme to see!
Looking at his skills, Corporate Management has reached lv2 right now.
As long as he finds a way to increase the skill points for Corporate Management, he can quickly upgrade to higher levels!
The future is promising!
But…
Corporate Management?
Right now, what enterprise is there for me to manage!
“It seems I can only make a fuss over the business skill…”
Having made up his mind, after exiting the system, Li Yi’an couldn’t help but sit on the sofa in a daze, pondering how he should improve his business skills in the future.
This skill is not only related to unlocking new functions, it is even related to his future.
Although he has a place to stay right now, this is only temporary.
“According to the records in that article, Madame Huang should return to London in December.
That is to say, I have seven months.”
What to do in seven months?
Of course, it’s to make himself powerful, so that Madame Huang would proactively acknowledge this old friend.
No one likes poor relatives; this is human nature.
Walking to the window and looking out at London outside, Li Yi’an’s gaze constantly shifted.
In the city of London at this moment, whether it was full of opportunities or full of danger everywhere, he wasn’t clear, but he was very clear that only by walking out of this room would he have a chance!
Taking a deep breath, Li Yi’an said to himself:
“Alright, London, here I come!”
