I became financially independent right after entering college.

Chapter 125 Meeting the Counselor Again

"I've been very busy these days. You see, most of the time I don't even have time to spend with Hyo Joo..." Bai Chou hugged Li Xue's delicate arms and spoke softly to comfort his girlfriend.

He is not the kind of boy with superb time management skills in urban fantasy novels. His time and energy are limited.

You can't expect a boy to have a strong desire for self-improvement and career while also playing the role of a perfect boyfriend and staying by your side whenever you need him. This statement still applies even after gender swapping.

Everything is relative.

"Then don't start a business or company. You're just messing around with meaningless things. You don't even have time to be with me. You don't even spend time with your girlfriend. What's the point of starting a business..."

Li Xue buried herself in her boyfriend's arms and cried, "Fuck entrepreneurship, fuck ambitious career, I just hope my boyfriend can spend more time with me."

"If I don't start a business to make money, how will I get the money to support my two girlfriends?"

You haven't started a business before, so why do you just enjoy having money and free time all day long?
Li Xue complained in her heart, but she also knew that it was impossible to ask Bai Chou to give up her business. Her boyfriend, who used to be idle every day, suddenly became ambitious, and she had to learn to adapt.

Kim Hyo-joo adapted very well. In order to prevent the time they spent together from being reduced too much during her boyfriend's entrepreneurial period, she even infiltrated Bai Chou's company in advance and played a guest role as an accountant.

"Then I want to start a business with you!" Li Xue hugged Bai Chou and pouted, deciding to learn from Kim Hyo Joo's successful experience.

"Okay."

Bai Chou agreed casually: "But it will take some time..."

"Why can Hyojoo start a business with you right now, but I have to wait a while?"

"You two have different positions, so I have different arrangements for you..." Bai Chou would be crazy to take the initiative to arrange the two of them into the same plan to squeeze his own operating space.

Kim Hyo Joo is currently guest-starring as an accountant and cashier in a short drama project, so Li Xue must be thrown into the headphones project, so that the two of them will be separated by vast distances and never meet each other.

"Then why does my project have to wait for hers instead of her project having to wait for mine?" Li Xue was obsessed with being angry with Kim Hyo Joo and wanted to compete with her in everything.

"She offered to help me first, and I don't know how to clone myself, so I really can't spare the energy to handle two projects at the same time..." Bai Chou explained his difficulties to Li Xue.

Although the project is small, there are a lot of trivial matters.

Even though it was just a short short play project, there were still many things to worry about: casting, contacting software development companies in advance to customize the app and mini-program, budgeting, choosing the filming location and future office space for the company...

Currently, Bai Chou is in charge of all matters related to a company that require someone to worry about. He is familiar with everything about building and operating the company almost from scratch.

When things are really on the right track in the future, Bai Chou will definitely become a hands-off boss, but that's impossible now. You're not even familiar with the company's affairs, big and small, and you're still a hands-off boss. Doesn't the company want you anymore?

You have to be clear about the ins and outs of the company, big and small, and know the ins and outs of various things, so that you can be a hands-off boss and manage people better, and know who is taking advantage of the situation.

You can choose not to do it, but you must understand it. No matter how you understand it, you still have to learn it.

Li Xue is not the kind of unreasonable girl, at least not in front of Bai Chou. After some explanation and communication, Li Xue also understood Bai Chou's difficulties and stopped being unreasonable.

"But I still feel insecure. I'm afraid you'll suddenly become like those scumbag male protagonists in urban romance novels and become indifferent to me. Then slowly ignore me, dislike me, and stop wanting me..."

Li Xue stopped sobbing and snuggled in Bai Chou's arms, quietly expressing her worries, fearing that as she waited, Bai Chou would be like a hot air balloon that was released into the sky, disappearing from her world and her sky without her noticing.

After talking for a long time, Li Xue suddenly asked, "Honey, is our house cleaned?"

"I just finished cleaning it and I'm about to go inspect it."

"I want to stay outside with you today. I want to sleep in your arms..." Li Xue pinched Bai Chou's sleeve, as if she had made up her mind.

"Okay." Bai Chou agreed casually.

Every time I slept with Li Xue, it was a torment for Diaochou. The little girl was very restless when she slept, and she liked to curl up and sleep close to her, and she would keep moving around all night.

It is both enjoyable and a torture. Frankly speaking, Bai Chou prefers sleeping with Jin Xiaozhou.

But my girlfriend feels insecure and wants me to accompany her, and there is no way I can refuse. If she wants me to accompany her, then she can. It won’t kill me.

After agreeing to stay at the villa together at night, Li Xue stopped pestering Bai Chou and asked Bai Chou to drive over to see the house.

On the way, Li Xue put her legs together and pressed them against the side of the central armrest. When Bai Chou touched Li Xue's hand, he subconsciously stretched his hand to where he shouldn't have.

Bai Chou finally reacted when he drove the car to the outside of the villa and was about to get out. He turned his head and saw that his girlfriend's face was already flushed, her lips pursed, and her body was trembling slightly...

Bai Chou vaguely realized something.

He handed the girl a few wet wipes, and Bai Chou also took out a few to wipe his hands, then got out of the car with the window open.

Li Xue, her legs slightly sore, stumbled slightly upon exiting the car, but quickly recovered and rushed into the four-story two-in-one duplex villa with a light step, excitedly wandering around the different rooms...

The overall layout of the villa was basically the same as when I checked in a few days ago, except that the sheets, mattress, curtains and other things were replaced with new ones, and they were cleaned inside and out...

Li Xue howled as she wandered around each room, saying that a villa was a villa, it was grand. Even the side bedrooms and guest bedrooms were bigger than their master bedroom, and there were special cloakrooms for clothes. Her room's wardrobe had been filled up several times...

of course.

Li Xue's house is an ordinary residence with three bedrooms, two floors, one kitchen and two bathrooms. The indoor area is only slightly larger than the single-story villa. Although the second floor of this villa also has three rooms, because there is no kitchen, living room or dining room, each room can be made very large.

There is no need to say more about the third and fourth floors. There are two bedrooms on the third floor and only one bedroom on the fourth floor. There is even a small indoor elevator that goes directly to the fourth floor.

After admiring it for a while, Li Xue asked Bai Chou, "Honey, which room is mine?"

"What room do you want? You sleep in the master bedroom with me." Bai Chou picked up Li Xue by the waist and rushed into the master bedroom on the fourth floor. Li Xue giggled and struggled, whispering, "Molesting, bullying a decent woman..."

The two played around for a few minutes, then lay on the bed, snuggling up to each other, each lost in thought.

Bai Chou suddenly realized that even though he had bought such a large villa, he had no use for it at all. Li Xue must have stayed with him in the master bedroom for the first few days, and when Xiao Zhou moved in later, she would definitely stay with him in the master bedroom too...

The bedrooms on the second and third floors are basically not used unless Li Xue and Kim Hyo Joo move in together.

After taking a nap and eating some takeout with his girlfriend in the villa, Bai Chou returned to school in the afternoon and went to the counselor's office with all the prepared documents.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Come in, the door is not locked."

Bai Chou pushed open the office door with a few cups of milk tea, and at a glance saw counselor Tan Xuan sitting behind the desk with a tired look, talking to a colleague.

Bai Chou couldn't help but take a few more glances. A white shirt paired with a hip skirt and flesh-colored stockings—an ordinary urban office lady's outfit—but on Tan Xuan, it was extraordinarily charming. Seeing Bai Chou push the door open, Tan Xuan perked up and straightened her back to look more dignified. "Why do you have time to come to me when you're not spending time with your girlfriend after class?"

"I just feel bad for the counselor who works so hard for us day and night, so I just happened to be passing by and came to visit."

Bai Chou casually placed the milk tea he bought in his later life on Tan Xuan's desk: "They are low in sugar, so they shouldn't make you fat. The counselor can help distribute them."

Knowing that Bai Chou was a big spender, Tan Xuan did not bother to be polite with Bai Chou and asked other counselors in the office to share the milk tea together.

"The students in your class are really generous. I see you even bought me milk tea. Unlike our class assistant, who's always thinking about my snacks."

"This is the one who performed at your class's welcome party, right? Do you have a girlfriend, handsome boy?" A slightly plump female counselor wearing glasses joked with Bai Chou.

"Yes, but I don't mind having one more. It would be better if she's a little older than me and caring." Bai Chou also joked with the slightly plump female counselor in a flowery way.

Everyone knew it was a joke, so they just laughed and didn't take it seriously.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Tan Xuan took a sip of milk tea and put the cup aside, crossing her legs and asking seriously. In her impression, Bai Chou would never come to her house unless there was something important.

"There are two things I'd like the counselor to help me with."

"Tell me one thing at a time."

"First of all, do you remember what we agreed on last time? I'm going to announce the program, and you need to help me with a little bit of the rules and procedures?"

"Remember." Tan Xuan knew that it was the creditor who came to collect the debt.

"I want to apply for day school."

Bai Chou took out a stack of documents he had prepared in advance and handed them to Tan Xuan. "I have all the documents ready. They are in full compliance with the school's rules and procedures. Sister Xuan, can you please approve them for me?"

I knew it.

Tan Xuan took the paperwork with a little tiredness. She knew that the help Bai Chou wanted her to do would not be easy.

According to school rules, freshmen can apply for commuting to school, but many juniors and seniors cannot do so and can only live secretly off campus.

In most cases, counselors will not approve students' applications for off-campus housing.

But Tan Xuan and Bai Chou had agreed on this in advance. If he broke his promise, it would be a huge blow to his personal reputation and dignity.

"A house to buy or a house to rent?"

“The house I bought.”

"What's the name of the neighborhood? Is it close to school?"

"The community is called Jiuxitai. It's quite close. It takes less than 10 minutes to drive from school to my home..."

Tan Xuan carefully examined various documents and asked Bai Chou some routine questions. The counselor should at least know where the students living outside the school live.

"Jiuxitai, the house you bought in Jiuxitai?"

After Bai Chou mentioned the name of the community, Tan Xuan didn't react. The plump female counselor next to him who was holding a milk tea was a little surprised. She immediately looked over and sized up Bai Chou.

"What's wrong with this community?" Tan Xuan asked in some confusion. Isn't it just the name of a community?

"That's one of the most upscale residential areas near Jiangning University Town. There aren't even any high-rise or villas in the entire complex. The worst-case scenario is a duplex or a stacked villa. My boyfriend rents right next to it..."

The slightly plump female counselor excitedly talked about how great this community was, and then asked Bai Chou with great interest: "What type of apartment did you buy, and how much did it cost?"

"I bought a duplex villa." Bai Chou didn't say how much it cost.

"A duplex villa is quite impressive, and it costs several million." The plump female counselor was a little disappointed when she heard that it was not a single-family house.

There is no comparison between duplex villas and detached houses. If you spend several million, you will not only have your own house but also have to squeeze with other families. To be honest, it is better to buy a high-rise apartment with a better location in Xinjiekou, Xuanwu District.

The slightly plump female counselor then looked at Tan Xuan, who remained completely emotionless throughout the entire conversation. "Your students bought villas worth millions of yuan each, and you're not surprised at all, Xuanxuan?"

"Why should I be surprised?" Tan Xuan asked back.

These days, it's not uncommon for families to buy RVs for their children early on. Honestly, that's a luxury, but honestly, it's not something that's too surprising.

This is the Jinling of 18, not the Jinling of 08.

After asking the question, Tan Xuan continued to talk to Bai Chou, "This guy's two cars are worth nearly 10 million yuan combined. He's quite wealthy."

Bai Chou was slightly startled: "How did you know I bought a new car?"

"It's spread throughout the class. I usually check the class group and the campus forum. You talk like I'm some old-fashioned person who is out of touch with the news." Tan Xuan rolled her eyes.

"The two cars are worth nearly 10 million. He is the one in your class who has both a limited edition Porsche and a Lamborghini?" The slightly plump female counselor repeatedly asked Bai Chou.

Bai Chou didn't even have the chance to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger and get slapped in the face.

When you drive a Lamborghini, especially when you own a GT3RS before driving a Lamborghini, it is really difficult for you to have the opportunity to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.

Bai Chou nodded.

"Ugh……"

Tan Xuan sighed slightly. Although she wasn't surprised, she was still envious. She complained, "We agreed that the rich would help the poor, but how come everyone around me is getting rich? You are one, and Zhou Haoyu is another.

Why doesn't anyone take me with me?"

"Sister Xuan, you are too modest. I think if you really want to be rich, there are plenty of people willing to take you there." Bai Chou teased with a smile.

Tan Xuan complained about God's unfairness, but in fact, God had already been very kind to her. Bai Chou had only seen less than ten people as beautiful as Tan Xuan.

With these conditions, there is no need to do anything against conscience. You just need to lower your moral bottom line and be a little more "realistic" to easily achieve class transition.

For example, learn from Kim Hyo-joo.
