As the saying goes, good fortune never comes in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly.

Zhang Wei made a bet with Yi Fei during the day.

I lost my food allowance for the month, as well as the right to use the room.

Fate didn't seem to intend to let him off the hook either.

That evening, Zhang Wei went downstairs to the bar for the second day of free legal consultation.

This is the only way to make him feel better right now.

Especially after Gu Yifan promised Zhang Wei a consulting fee, Zhang Wei became even more motivated.

Everything was fine at first; the cases that people consulted today were nowhere near as bizarre as yesterday's.

But just as Zhang Wei got into the zone...

Three police officers in uniform walked in and sat down in front of Zhang Wei.

"Hello, what case would you like to consult about?"

Zhang Wei didn't even look up, and asked instinctively.

When he didn't receive a response, Zhang Wei looked up, bewildered.

"Huh? Police? You're here for legal advice too?" Zhang Wei blinked, looking at the uniformed police officers with a blank expression.

"You're Zhang Wei?" the police officer sitting down in front of Zhang Wei asked menacingly.

“That’s right.” Zhang Wei nodded.

"We have received reports from the public that you do not have a legal professional qualification certificate and are providing legal advice here."

"Huh?" Zhang Wei panicked upon hearing this. "I was just offering some suggestions."

Inside the bar.

Gu Yifan was at the bar as usual when a waiter rushed upstairs. "Boss, a few police officers have come downstairs. You should go and take a look."

Gu Yifan was somewhat surprised. Police? Why would the police come?

downstairs.

"Don't panic, we're just here to find out what's going on," the police officer reassured the somewhat flustered Zhang Wei.

“I have a lawyer’s certificate, so I can provide legal advice,” Zhang Wei quickly explained.

"Well, it's best to let those who need it consult a professional lawyer," the policeman said casually.

"Yes"

Gu Yifan followed Su Weiwei downstairs. Indeed, Su Weiwei had been clamoring to come and visit Gu Yifan's bar after learning about its opening.

So when he got off work, Gu Yifan called Su Fox to come along.

"What's wrong, Zhang Wei?"

Gu Yifan walked over and asked.

"Are you the owner of this bar?" The three police officers were slightly taken aback when they saw Gu Yifan and Su Weiwei.

Both of them are absolutely handsome and beautiful, the kind of people who are very rare to see in normal times.

"Yes, hello officer." Gu Yifan asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"Oh, we received a tip from the public that someone here was posing as a lawyer and providing illegal legal advice, so we came to check it out."

Gu Yifan: "."

Goodness, who has so much free time?

Although Zhang Wei did not pass the bar exam, he still has a law degree and can provide some simple legal advice.

"It seems this is a misunderstanding," Gu Yifan said with a shrug.

"Well, if you're not a real lawyer, it's best not to be too high-profile, lest you cause trouble later." Knowing that Zhang Wei was a law student preparing for exams, the police officer didn't pursue the matter further, offering only a friendly reminder.

Zhang Wei was pale and sat there without saying a word.

Seeing this, Su Weiwei replied, "It's okay, I'm a licensed lawyer and I often work as an aid lawyer in court. I can take over for him."

"Oh, that works too." The policeman nodded after hearing this. "Then everything is fine, you can continue."

A minor incident has passed.

just
Gu Yifan glanced at Zhang Wei, who seemed somewhat absent-minded, and exchanged a look with Su Weiwei.

"Zhang Wei, let me take over for you for a bit. You and Xiao Fan go upstairs and rest for a bit." Su Weiwei sat down in place of Zhang Wei.

Gu Yifan pulled the silent Zhang Wei upstairs.

When the other curious onlookers saw that it was a beautiful woman instead, many more curious people gathered around.

"Beautiful lady, are you a lawyer too?"

"That's right, friends who need legal advice can get in line first."

"You're so beautiful, miss! So elegant."

"Thank you~ You too."

The second floor.

Zhang Wei remained silent the entire way.

"Brother Wei, what's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Gu Yifan thought to himself, "Oh no, could it be that Zhang Wei has been hurt?"

As expected, Zhang Wei stiffly raised his head, "Yifan, do you think I'm a failure?"

“You’re not a failure, Zhang Wei. You were just maliciously reported. The police said it was just a misunderstanding.”

"But I still haven't passed the bar exam; I failed three times in a row," Zhang Wei said with a worried expression.

"Perhaps I'll never pass the bar exam in my entire life."

"Don't say such discouraging things. We'll definitely pass this time." Gu Yifan patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder and handed him a bottle of beer.

"You tend to overthink things."

Although Zhang Wei usually seems cheerful and easygoing, never getting angry when people joke around with him, he is actually quite sensitive inside.

Gu Yifan could sense something from Xinling; this sensitivity wasn't due to inner weakness, but rather a strong will.

As children from orphanages, they can only rely on themselves. They are worried about being overlooked and afraid of being looked down upon.

That's why Cyndi Wang is so 'traditional,' even suggesting that she become Gu Yifan's mistress.

Zhang Wei was the same; a child with a hard life.

He achieved nothing in his career, failed the bar exam three times, and in his family life, just when he was about to get married, his bride ran away.

Only Zhang Wei himself knows how much pressure he is under.

Although the police's visit wasn't specifically targeting Zhang Wei, it gave him the feeling that the world didn't need him.
“Yifan, I’m not like you. You’re a true genius, while I’m just a mediocre person. Do you really think I can pass the bar exam smoothly?” Zhang Wei’s emotions had eased slightly, but he was still very disappointed.

Gu Yifan thought for a moment, "Zhang Wei, I don't think you should consider this."

"Then what should we consider?"

"You should think about where you're going to sleep tonight," Gu Yifan said solemnly, patting Zhang Wei on the shoulder.

Zhang Wei: "."

Oh, he only just realized that he had already given the room to Yifei.

Thinking about it this way makes me even sadder.

She couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Waaaaah, now I don't even have a place to stand!"

"God, why are you targeting me like this!"

Seeing Zhang Wei's tearful face, Gu Yifan felt a pang of pity.

"Brother Wei, didn't you learn Mencius when you were in elementary school? 'When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it will first test his mind and strengthen his body.'"

"But I'm suffering too much."

Zhang Wei said, sobbing.

Just then, Guan Gu and Youyou ran in excitedly, "Hi~ Zhang Wei, what are you doing here?"

"Congratulations to you two!" Gu Yifan said quickly, noticing that the two were wearing what looked like matching outfits.

Guan Gu Youyou was taken aback, then blushed and quickly moved aside.

"No, no, no, you misunderstood."

“We went to a community event, and these are the clothes they gave us.”

Gu Yifan then noticed that the two were wearing clothes similar to those of the community volunteers.

"What activity? I didn't know about it." "It's a charity event organized by the community. We will help children from impoverished families, give them love, and help them fulfill some of their wishes, such as school supplies or clothes they want."

"Oh, right, we also brought back some wish lists. Yifan, would you and Wanyu like to take one as well and show your love?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Seeing that he was being ignored, Zhang Wei felt even more heartbroken. Was he really that insignificant? His crying grew even louder.

They successfully attracted Youyou and Guangu's attention back.

"Zhang Wei, what's wrong with you?" Guan Gu, still concerned for his good brother, quickly asked.

"Yeah, why is there a different person downstairs? I think it's a super pretty young lady," Youyou asked.

She hasn't met Su Weiwei yet.

Gu Yifan briefly explained the whole story to the two of them.

"Tsk, Zhang Wei, is it really worth crying over such a small thing?" Youyou pouted.

"Who said I cried because of this? I cried because of my miserable and unjust fate! Sorrow welled up from my heart and I just couldn't stop the tears."

Zhang Wei cried louder and louder.

Seeing this, the three exchanged a glance.

But there wasn't much better way to comfort them.

"Zhang Wei, why don't you also take on a wish list?" Tang Youyou suggested after thinking for a moment.

"What wish list? Can I write down what I want?" Zhang Wei asked, sniffling.

“Of course not, Zhang Wei. Think about it, you’ve already fallen to such a hopeless state that there’s no way to save you. You might as well help those children with hope,” Guan Gu replied casually.

Seeing Zhang Wei tremblingly raise his finger, Youyou quickly said, "Guan Gu didn't mean that. He meant that Zhang Wei, you don't want those poor children from impoverished families to have to endure the same hardships you're going through, do you?"

After saying that, Youyou paused, taken aback.

I then realized that what she said wasn't much better than what Guan Gu said.

Zhang Wei looked heartbroken, and Guan Gu echoed him, practically stabbing him in the back!

"Waaah, I helped others, what will happen to my life! Who can help me?!"

After saying that, Zhang Wei wiped away his tears and rushed out without looking back.

"Zhang Wei! Watch out for the stairs!" Gu Yifan said hurriedly.

He noticed the stairs weren't very slip-resistant and were a bit steep, so he planned to have Joey fix them before opening tomorrow.
Unfortunately, Zhang Wei ran too fast.

"Hey!"

There was a loud bang.

Zhang Wei fell hard on his backside.

Gu Yifan shook his head, "Zhang Wei is really unlucky, even drinking cold water gets stuck in his teeth."

"What should we do? It seems like we said something wrong," Youyou said worriedly.

“It’s okay, let’s give Zhang Wei some time,” Gu Yifan said, shaking his head.

In these situations, you can only rely on yourself; no amount of comforting from others will help.

"By the way, Guan Gu, be careful tonight, watch out for Zhang Wei having an attack."

"A relapse? Zhang Wei's sick?" Youyou was startled. "Could he be mentally ill?"

"Probably not." Guan Gu understood what Gu Yifan meant.

“He’s not mentally ill. Zhang Wei stayed in our suite for a while before Chinese New Year’s Eve, and it turned out he had sleepwalking at the time.”

"what?!"

"However, Zhang Wei hasn't had any more symptoms since he moved here, so it shouldn't be a relapse."

Gu Yifan shrugged. Who knows?

Anyway, he doesn't live in 3602, so let Teacher Zeng and Ziqiao worry about it.

"What are you talking about in the wish list?"

When Gu Yifan asked about this, Youyou and Guangu immediately forgot about Zhang Wei.

"it is this!"

Youyou took some envelopes out of her bag.

Gu Yifan took it and glanced at it curiously. They were basically the same, with the title being "Dedicated to Kind Uncles and Aunts".

"Looks like this wasn't written for me. I'm just your older brother at best," Gu Yifan joked.

At this time.

Zeng Xiaoxian and Ziqiao also came to the bar.

"Hey, Guan Gu and Youyou, where have you been? I haven't seen you all day."

While greeting everyone, Zeng Xiaoxian also struck a few poses with Ziqiao next to him.

Needless to say, they're showing off their new hairstyles.

Everyone likes to grow their hair long and have side-swept bangs these days, but Gu Yifan insists on using the buzz cut, the standard for judging a real man.

Whether a man is handsome or not depends on whether he can pull off a buzz cut.

But then again.

Gu Yifan looks ridiculously handsome no matter what hairstyle he has.

"Hey, Teacher Zeng, Ziqiao, you guys got new hairstyles?" Youyou said politely.

Zeng Xiaoxian then stopped his vain pose. "You naughty boy, you noticed but didn't say so earlier. It made me tired from posing."

“From now on, we’ll be the Twin Swordsmen of Love Apartment!” Zi Qiao said, straightening his collar.

"Where's Zhang Wei? Aren't you the Three Musketeers?" Gu Yifan glanced at the two men's new hairstyles; they were ugly, uniquely ugly.

“Zhang Wei didn’t change his hairstyle with us, so he’s been kicked out,” Zeng Xiaoxian blurted out.

"Oh, right, I just saw a sissy guy crying and running out the door. His back looked a bit like Zhang Wei's." Ziqiao sat down, opened a bottle of beer, and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

“That’s Zhang Wei,” Guan Gu said quietly.

Ziqiao was taken aback. "A true man sheds blood, not tears. What happened to Zhang Wei? Did Xiaoli die in a car accident?"

"That's alright." Gu Yifan had no liking for Xiaoli at all, and pouted, "It's Zhang Wei who lost his temper."

"Just blast it to pieces and then put it back together," Ziqiao said dismissively, pulling out his phone.

"Ziqiao, what are you doing?" Youyou asked hurriedly.

“Let’s invite Zhang Wei to admire our hairstyles, and maybe he can be our life mentor,” Zi Qiao said matter-of-factly.

"Alright, Ziqiao, you've only just gotten over this yourself. Let Zhang Wei calm down on his own," Gu Yifan said.

Youyou seized the opportunity to snatch Ziqiao's phone, saying, "You're kicking me when I'm down, you nephew."

"Hey, these envelopes look familiar." Zeng Xiaoxian put down his beer and happened to see the envelopes in front of Gu Yifan.

"Isn't this the envelope I picked up before? How did it end up here?"

Youyou and Guangu exchanged a glance. "Teacher Zeng, you brought this back?"

“That’s right.” Zeng Xiaoxian shrugged. “It’s an old tradition to help those kids fulfill their wishes. Unfortunately, these kids have changed recently. They no longer want homework books but want something like an alien notebook. I’ve never even heard of that brand of notebook. Fewer and fewer people are claiming them.”

"We picked this up from the community office," Guan Gu said quickly.

"There's not much difference between a notebook and a workbook, is there?" Youyou asked, confused.

Gu Yifan answered quietly, "Teacher Zeng is talking about laptops, right?"

No wonder they're kids from Shanghai.

They even know about the Alienware brand.

However, it could also be a request made by unscrupulous scammers trying to gain sympathy.

"Yifan, would you like to take a few?" Zeng Xiaoxian asked solicitously.

Gu Yifan is a super-rich man; fulfilling all the children's wishes with a wave of his hand is no easy feat.

That way, his KPI was achieved, and everyone was happy.

"Me? I'm not claiming it."

Surprisingly, Gu Yifan shook his head and refused.

Zeng Xiaoxian was taken aback, and exchanged glances with Ziqiao, Youyou, and Guangu.

"What, Yifan, you've gone bankrupt?!" (End of Chapter)
