A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Li Wei controlled some powerful figures through his puppet clones, so the power of those powerful figures was equivalent to the power of his main body. If he wanted to do anything complicated, he only needed to give a word, and there would be plenty of people running errands for him.

However, Li Wei was too lazy to use such external forces unless there was something urgent.

However, Ayaka Haruhara's worries were somewhat unnecessary. Although Aki Shiina himself wasn't much of a character, his parents were both social elites, relatively calm in the face of problems. Rather than venting their emotions, they preferred to prioritize solving the issue. Frankly, dealing with such people was much simpler and more comfortable than those who only knew how to mindlessly vent their emotions. Everyone got down to business, and time wasn't wasted, which was quite good.

Ayaka Haruhara dialed the emergency contact number left by Aki Shiina, and the voice on the other end was that of a very young woman.

Li Wei and Alex waited nearby. The conversation on the phone went very smoothly, and the issue was explained in just a few words. Li Wei knew that the person on the other end of the phone was Shiina Aki's older sister, Shiina Mari, the person Shiina Aki both loved and hated. She was a genius girl, but also the biggest shadow in Shiina Aki's life.

After a while, Ayaka Sunohara hung up the phone. She patted her chest and said, "I thought I was going to get a good scolding from the other end, but I didn't expect the other person to be so understanding. That's Aki-kun's older sister, Ms. Jasmine. She's not that old, but she's quite mature."

Ayaka Haruhara breathed a sigh of relief. She had already prepared herself for criticism; after all, it was impossible for the other person not to be angry about something as serious as a missing person. However, this phone call also made her somewhat curious about the other person. What kind of mature and composed girl could remain calm after learning that her younger brother was missing?

Li Wei asked, "What did they say?"

Sunohara Ayaka said, "Miss Jasmine, please come over. Aki-kun's parents are currently on a business trip abroad and won't be able to return for a while. So, she'll have to come instead. Although she won't be of much help, I understand her feelings."

Haruhara Ayaka is a person who knows how to put herself in others' shoes, and as the older sister, how could she really accept something like this? Although the other person's words were very calm, she could detect a slight tremor between the syllables, which meant that the other person was far from being as calm as she appeared, and was forcing herself to calm down.

Li Wei said, "If she wants to come, then let her come. Anyway, there are still quite a few vacant rooms at Chunyuanzhuang. As for me, I will look for people in my own way. However, Tokyo is a metropolis with more than 20 million people. Finding someone in such an environment is like finding a needle in a haystack."

Alex said, "I really want to help you, but I don't know anything except how to fight, and I can't use my connections with the boss, so I can only apologize in advance."

Li Wei said, "Ultimately, I bear the responsibility for this. Besides, Alex, you're just a patient here. If I hadn't asked you for this, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

Haruhara Ayaka said, "Li Weijun, what should we do now? Should we go out and look for people?"

Li Wei said, "I will use my connections to find someone. As for you and me, there's no need for us to go out and run around. After all, individual strength can't compare to the strength of an organization when facing this kind of situation. It just so happens that someone owes me a favor, so this is a good opportunity for them to repay it. They should be very happy that they can repay the favor in such a simple matter."

Ayaka Haruhara nodded. She had almost forgotten that Li Wei was a doctor with an extremely wide network of connections, and many people owed him favors. If she could mobilize all these connections, she might be able to find Shiina Aki.

·Requesting flowers·· ······

Haruhara Ayaka said, "But isn't it a waste to use Li Weijun's connections for something like this?"

Li Wei said, "Your business is my business. If this matter is not handled properly, the operation of Chunyuan Manor will inevitably be affected. Whether we can find them or not is a matter of ability and luck, but whether we go looking for them or not is a matter of attitude. I don't want you to get involved in those messy issues. Even if we can't find them in the end, I will give them an offer they can't refuse to settle this matter."

Hearing Li Wei's words, Haruhara Ayaka understood that he had prepared for both possibilities. If the person could be found, that would be the best outcome; if not, there was a way to satisfy the family and get them to drop the matter. This kind of thing is extremely difficult for ordinary people, but she felt that Li Wei might be able to do it.

...... .......

Alex said, "I won't be a third wheel here. I'll definitely be at your wedding."

Alex stepped outside and gently closed the wooden door behind him.

With a slight blush, Ayaka Haruhara said, "Although Mr. Alex looks fierce, I've found him to be a rather interesting person after spending the last few days with him, and I'm very grateful for his blessing."

Li Wei said, "Among the people I've dealt with, there are all sorts of strange and eccentric individuals, and this is already considered one of the more normal ones. However, I won't forget that guy's invitation, provided he can survive this conflict."

Ayaka Haruhara leaned against Li Wei's chest and said, "I hope so. This conflict has already caused too much destruction. What I fear most is seeing acquaintances die because of this."

Just then, Ayaka Haruhara's phone suddenly rang. Startled, she quickly picked it up and saw that the caller ID showed "Hojin." She breathed a sigh of relief; it wasn't Shiina Aki's family. She was a little afraid of receiving calls from Shiina Aki's family, after all, she had been running the student dormitory for so long, and this was the first time she had encountered something like this.

Chapter 1. Fortune and Misfortune are Intertwined

Ayaka Haruhara answered the phone and said, "Nishiki, is there something you need at this hour?"

Suijin said, "Caihua, I'll have to stay at your place for a while, I have nowhere else to stay."

Ayaka Haruhara asked in surprise, "What's going on? How come you have nowhere to stay? Did something happen?"

Sui Jin sighed and said, "Don't even mention it. My shop burned down. The whole place was reduced to a bare shell, and all the wine inside was destroyed. I suffered a huge loss this time."

Ayaka Haruhara exclaimed, "How could this happen?! Are you alright?!"

Sui Jin said, "I'm fine, but I was out delivering goods when the fire started. Half of the shopping street was on fire. I don't know which shop had a short circuit that caused the fire, and it spread like wildfire. Plus, the weather is hot now, and it hasn't rained for more than half a month, so the fire was impossible to stop. Half of the shops on the shopping street are gone. I heard that people died in the fire. It's really terrifying."

Haruhara Ayaka breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Suijin was alright. This period had been a very troublesome time, with all sorts of messy things coming out.

The city of Tokyo is experiencing a deterioration in public safety and a surge in crime. She herself has encountered a missing tenant, and her friend's family suffered a devastating fire. Everyone's luck is running out. But that's how things are these days; as long as you're alive, there's hope. This misfortune is just the beginning, and she believes that she and her friends will eventually overcome this difficult situation.

Sunohara Ayaka said, "As long as you're alright, that's good. Just come to my place, and you can stay as long as you want."

Sui Jin said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, but I can't stay here. I still have some extra money on hand. Once the relevant departments have cleared the ruins of the shopping street, I plan to rebuild the liquor store. This is the hard work of my ancestors, and I don't want to see it die out in my generation."

While Japan has tarnished its international reputation by faking its craftsmanship, a small group of people still hold fast to their principles, and Suijin is one of them. The burning of her liquor shop was a devastating blow, but she wouldn't succumb. The destroyed shop and the lost liquor were unimportant to her. The shop could be rebuilt, the brewing equipment could be replaced, and all sorts of brewing recipes were in her mind. As long as she refused to give up, she could rise again at any time.

Suijin said, "I'll have to ask you for help before the liquor store is rebuilt. But judging from your voice, Ayaka, you seem to have run into some trouble."

Sunohara Ayaka briefly recounted what had happened to Suijin.

Suijin said, "These kinds of brats are really troublesome. I hate these kinds of ignorant brats the most. Tokyo is in a pretty chaotic state right now, and they still have to put on this runaway act at a time like this. They're really a handful."

Haruhara Ayaka could only smile bitterly. After all, everyone has their own will and thoughts, and others can't see through them. Normally, Shiina Aki, though somewhat gloomy, wasn't a particularly evil person; he was just an ordinary boy with adolescent anxieties. But this time, Shiina Aki truly filled her with extreme disgust. If there was a problem, he could have just said it directly. Neither she nor Li Wei were difficult to talk to. Running away from home like this wasn't just avoiding the problem; it was also playing with their own safety.

If the incident in the bathroom had only made Ayaka Haruhara think Shiina Aki was a problem child, there was still some room for redemption. Now, if she could get Shiina Aki back, she would immediately breach the contract and terminate the accommodation agreement. She didn't welcome troublesome tenants like Shiina Aki.

After exchanging a few more words, the two ended the call. Because Ayaka Haruhara had put the call on speakerphone, Li Wei could clearly hear their conversation even without using magic.

Li Wei said, "The temperature in Tokyo has been very high lately. Most of the buildings in the shopping district are made of wood. If a fire breaks out, it will be like the one depicted in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, where the fire spreads to the entire camp."

Ayaka Haruhara said, "Yes, the buildings here in Japan, both detached houses and townhouses, are mostly made of wood. Although they are very earthquake-resistant, they are not very effective against fire, even with the addition of heat-insulating and fire-retardant materials. After all, the frame itself is flammable, and once it catches fire, the whole building will collapse very quickly. Moreover, the temperature has not been below 4 degrees Celsius for the past few days. A fire like this, even if it doesn't start today, will start sooner or later."

Haruhara Ayaka was secretly relieved that Suijin had been out delivering goods when the camps were burned down, thus avoiding the fire. Although the property loss was inevitable and enormous, as long as she herself was unharmed, it was a huge gain. After all, if you lose your life, no amount of money will matter.

Li Wei said, "Since Miss Sui is coming, we need to prepare a room for her."

Although there are many vacant rooms at Chunyuan Manor, they are usually unoccupied, so they are only cleaned briefly every week. If someone wants to stay there, a special cleaning must be done.

Sunohara Ayaka said, "Then I'll go prepare it right away. Luckily, I had already categorized all the items beforehand, so rearranging the room won't take long."

Li Wei said, "I'll help you."

The two went upstairs and began working together to tidy up the room. Soon, the empty room was transformed into a presentable space. Because Chun Yuan Zhuang had been renovated, it was so easy to clean. If it had been in its previous state, it would have taken an entire afternoon to clean the house.

Haruhara Ayaka said, "This fire probably burned all of Nishiki's personal belongings. Although she is wealthy, she didn't buy a house nearby and usually lives in the shop's building. All her personal belongings were in the shop, and now the entire shop is in ruins. Her things are probably all gone, even her clothes. She'll have to buy all new ones later. For now, she'll have to make do with wearing my clothes."

Li Wei said, "I don't know what to say about this luck. Good luck and bad luck are mixed together. I can only say that it's good that everyone is alright. I originally planned to go out this afternoon to buy tutoring materials, but it looks like I'll have to go tomorrow. The little ones are still not awake. It's almost three o'clock. Should I go and wake them up?"

Ayaka Haruhara shook her head and said, "Today is a special case, let them sleep a little longer."

Chapter 1. The Arrival of Suijin

Before long, the two people standing by the window heard the sound of a small motorcycle. They looked out and saw that Suijin, dressed in a traditional craftsman's uniform, had already parked the small motorcycle at the entrance of Chunyuanzhuang.

Sui Jin took off her helmet, got off the motorcycle, and then rang the doorbell.

Ayaka Haruhara ran downstairs quickly, rushed out of the house, and arrived at the large iron gate. She quickly pulled out the key, and the iron gate opened with a creak.

Haruhara Ayaka looked at Suijin, who looked rather disheveled, her clothes covered in black ash.

Sunohara Ayaka hugged her friend and said, "It's good that you're alright...it's good that you're alright."

Sui Jin smiled and said, "I've always been very lucky, and this time is no exception. This isn't the first time I've encountered these kinds of messy things, so it's no problem."

Haruhara Ayaka released Sui Nishiki and said, "It's so hot outside, let's park the car inside. We've already prepared a room for you. You can rest for a bit and calm your nerves."

Sui Jin laughed and said, "That's great. I'm feeling sleepy right now. I still have to deliver goods outside at noon. Business has been good lately, so it's been quite tiring. But with this fire, the festival in the shopping street is ruined, so I can only take a break."

Suijin pushed her little motorcycle under the sunshade in the courtyard, next to Li Wei's pickup truck and Haruhara Nana's "pony".

The two entered the room. Thanks to the central air conditioning, the temperature inside was maintained at a comfortable ℃. Sui Jin shivered the moment she entered the room. The feeling of suddenly going from a hot stove to an air-conditioned room was very refreshing.

Li Wei also came down.

When Sui Jin saw Li Wei, her eyes seemed a little unnatural. She never thought that she would one day live under the same roof as Li Wei.

Li Wei said, "Good afternoon, Jin. It's so good that you're not injured. Caihua and I will take good care of you during this time. You're always so busy, but now you can finally rest."

Sui Jin smiled wryly, "I also like to rest, but this time the cost of rest will be huge. Before I came, I asked the construction company, and it would take about two months to rebuild the shop, which is the fastest I could do. Two months without being able to ship any goods will mean losing countless customers. Even if the shop is rebuilt later, it will be severely damaged and will take two or three years, or even longer."

It will take time for them to recover. After all, winning back lost customers is a very difficult process.

Li Wei laughed and said, "If that's the case, don't worry. After all, wine ultimately wins by its taste. Even if your old customers are taken away, don't be afraid. As long as your wine tastes good enough, those wine lovers will naturally come to your door. I have many special wine recipes here, all top-notch secret recipes. Once your wine shop is rebuilt, you can brew according to the recipes I give you. I guarantee that your business will recover to its previous level, or even reach new heights."

Sui Jin smiled and said, "Thank you for your comfort, but there aren't that many top-notch secret recipes in the world. I'll figure out a way to restructure the wine shop. I'm not so easily defeated."

Li Wei said, "I know you probably don't believe me. After all, I'm a doctor, and I have nothing to do with winemakers. It's normal that you don't believe me. Here, wait a moment, I'll go back to my room and get some samples for you to try. Then you'll know whether I'm lying or not."

Haruhara Ayaka sat down beside her and said with a smile, "Li Weijun never lies. I believe he really has a top-notch sake recipe. We'll find out soon enough, won't we?"

Suijin looked at Li Wei's retreating figure and said, "Caihua, you really trust Li Wei-kun."

Haruhara Ayaka said, "Because he absolutely believes in me, I absolutely believe in him too, it's that simple. Moreover, Li Weijun is special. No matter what achievements he makes, I won't be surprised. In this world, there are always some geniuses who are above ordinary people."

Li Wei does indeed possess numerous wine recipes. As a hoarder, whenever he arrives in a new world, he sends his puppet clones on treasure hunts. These hunts involve collecting not only various rare minerals, but also valuable works of art or artifacts, knowledge, or unique intangible cultural heritage, such as recipes for medicine, food, and wine. Because of this, Li Wei's vast treasure trove rivals that of Gilgamesh. Aside from lacking as many weapons, Li Wei's inventory of purely "treasure" items has exceeded one hundred thousand pieces—enough to build dozens of museums.

As for wine recipes, Li Wei has over a thousand, many of which are unique to this world. Using them to win back customers would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

If these wine recipes were given to large wineries, they could transform those wineries into world-class brands; that's the power of these recipes.

Back in his room, Li Wei took out a sample bottle of wine from his consciousness space. The ordinary bottle was sealed with a cork, and the liquid inside was a deep blue color. Reflecting the sunlight, it looked like the ocean off the coast of Hawaii, giving people a dreamlike feeling.

The reason this wine has such a beautiful color is because it's a medicinal wine. Its ingredients include fraxinus bark and black goji berries. Fraxinus bark has a light, fluorescent blue color. Fraxinus bark itself clears heat and dries dampness, reducing internal heat. However, its strong properties can easily lead to excess, so black goji berries, a warming tonic, are added to balance its medicinal properties. This creates a harmonious balance between warming and cooling, giving it the taste of fruit wine and the efficacy of medicinal wine—delicious and not heaty. In terms of taste alone, it surpasses most fruit wines available in the world. Combined with its warming properties that are suitable for almost everyone, it can be said to be a "treasure" that can revive a struggling winery.

Even someone like Li Wei, who doesn't like drinking, accepted the taste. If even his discerning palate could be conquered, then ordinary drinkers would certainly be more satisfied.

Li Wei channeled his magic, and within seconds, the sample of wine in his hand cooled to around ten degrees Celsius, perfect for a summer day. His room had a small refrigerator, usually used to store various drinks and fruit wines, so it was perfectly reasonable for him to take out a bottle of wine that no one else had seen.

Chapter 1. Professionals and Fine Wine

Li Wei took the sample wine back to the living room and placed it on the low table.

Ayaka Haruhara and Suinishi both took a liking to the bottle of frozen wine, their expressions showing curiosity.

Ayaka Haruhara said, "I don't know what this sake tastes like, but its transparent blue color does look quite beautiful. It has a kind of ocean feel to it."

Li Wei said, "I'll go get a few wine glasses. Jin wasn't hurt by the fire, which is a good thing. We should celebrate. Let's finish this bottle of wine, the three of us."
