Financial freedom starts with the pursuit of a cool female doctor

Chapter 95 Counselor

Zhuo Tong briefly recounted her dinner appointment with Han Qi, but did not explicitly mention Han Qi's name.

After listening, Chu Yun rolled her eyes at him:
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child, so easily fooled?"

But these very glances and gestures were just like a young couple flirting, without a trace of disgust or dislike.

Seeing this, Zhuo Tong kept asking himself:
"No, was our counselor like this before? She was pretty and had a great figure back then, but she wasn't as alluring as she is now, was she?"

"Could it be that not having a boyfriend for so many years has made her feel depressed...?"

Although that's what I'm thinking, I can't possibly say it out loud:
"Here's the thing, junior Han Qi said that her class was planning to hold a banquet, so I paid for the venue for her. Then she said she would treat me to dinner to thank me."

"Actually, it's not just that. We also work out together regularly, and we already knew each other before."

Seeing Zhuo Tong's sincere tone, Chu Yun's doubts subsided somewhat, but she still couldn't completely believe it:
"Han Qi... freshman... well, you've already set your sights on the students I'm teaching, and you still have the nerve to say you don't have any ulterior motives."

Chu Yun held her handbag in one hand and lightly punched Zhuo Tong's shoulder with the other, but with her weak strength, it wasn't even a tickle.

To outsiders, it looks just like flirting.

Chu Yun withdrew her hand after knocking a couple of times, and only then did Zhuo Tong speak:
"But Professor Chu, why are you teaching freshmen now? Shouldn't you be teaching graduating seniors?"

Back then, Chu Yun taught my class. After I graduated, Chu Yun should have been teaching a new class of freshmen, who are now seniors.

"Well, I was supposed to be teaching the seniors, but the teacher who taught the freshmen went on maternity leave. I've been teaching the freshmen since last year. Han Qi is a girl in my class, and I really like her."

You don't need to tell me, I like her quite a bit too.

Who wouldn't like a straightforward, frank, bold, and enthusiastic girl?
This attraction is gender-neutral.

"I really didn't expect this. Last time, Han Qi told me that he had already arranged the venue for the school anniversary banquet and that we didn't even need to pay class fees. I was quite curious, but I didn't expect it to be you."

Chu Yun gently nudged Zhuo Tong's abs with her elbow, then covered her mouth with her hand and whispered:

"By the way, how are you doing these days? How come you have so much money to treat Han Qi to meals with his juniors?"

As Zhuo Tong's counselor for four years at university, she naturally knew about Zhuo Tong's family situation.

Although it's fairly ordinary, it's not exactly difficult.

I had tried to persuade him to apply for student loans or subsidies for students from impoverished families, but Zhuo Tong refused.

Firstly, his family's circumstances did not meet the criteria for applying for poverty assistance, and secondly, his family was not like it is now at that time.

The most obvious difference is that Zhuo Tong's father had not yet had an accident, and the family had a pillar supporting them.

Only then can he fully immerse himself in his studies at school and enjoy the wonderful university life.

"I made a little money, and since the hotel owner and I were quite familiar with each other, I just arranged it."

"It seems you're doing well now, which puts my mind at ease."

As she spoke, a memory from some distant past surfaced in Chu Yun's mind, and a mixture of tenderness and regret appeared in her eyes:

"Back then, you had the best grades in your major and always received scholarships. Xiao Lu's spot for postgraduate recommendation should have been yours..."

As she spoke, she used her hand to straighten Zhuo Tong's collar, and then gently brushed his chest to remove the dust.

Zhuo Tong grabbed her fair hand and said calmly:

"Alright, Teacher Chu, let bygones be bygones. Everything was my own choice, and I have no regrets even now."

"Yes, as long as you're doing well now, that's what matters most. Come here, let your teacher give you a hug~"

Chu Yun smiled and opened her arms, and Zhuo Tong went straight to her, giving her a long-awaited hug.

Even though she was rather plump, Chu Yun was a head shorter than Zhuo Tong, as if she were swallowed up by his embrace. Although she was a little out of breath, she felt a strong sense of security and satisfaction.

A moment later, the two separated. Chu Yun's hair was disheveled, her face was flushed a distinct pink, her eyes darted around, and she said:

"Would you like to attend the banquet later?"

"It's all gatherings for younger students, so I'll pass. I don't know any of them, and it would be awkward for me to go."

"That's nonsense. Not to mention Han Qi, there were a few other students in your year, such as Xue Zimo and Pan Yi, who also participated, saying they came back to share their experiences."

"Besides, I'm still here."

Chu Yun spoke her last sentence very softly, so that only the two of them could hear it.

"Oh, I think I'll participate then. I'll trouble you, Teacher Chu, to introduce me to the younger students."

"Sure, sure. As long as you don't make a move on the female students, you can do whatever you want. After all, I am your advisor."

Han Qi patted Zhuo Tong on the shoulder:

"I won't keep you chatting any longer. I'm having dinner with my sister tonight, so see you on the school anniversary."

"Okay, goodbye, Teacher Chu."

Zhuo Tong waved goodbye from where he stood, and only after watching Chu Yun walk away did he seem to sigh with emotion.

Back when I was in college, Chu Yun was very kind to me. Knowing that my family was struggling financially and couldn't get poverty relief, she often took care of me.

I really don't understand why a teacher who is so good-looking, has a great figure, is caring, and highly educated is still single.

I don't understand it, I don't understand it at all.

Before I could think for long, the system panel appeared again, marking the third time today.

[First in-depth interaction with "Chu Yun" triggers a 3-hour 1x cashback reward. Receive reward——]

"Wait, how come Teacher Chu can also trigger a system mission? This person is my mentor... I'll have to pay extra."

[Sensitivity Enhancement Eye Mask (3 times): After wearing, any pleasant or joyful sensations are amplified tenfold, lasting for one hour per session.]

Seriously, is your system even legitimate?

It's supposed to be all about money, but apart from cashback, all the other skills and items are just random junk.

Oh, besides the special fund for home purchases.

The massage and swimming skills were already misused before, so this time they simply stopped pretending and directly used props from foreign animations and comics.

I'm a respectable person, how could I use these things?

After pulling the blindfold out of her pocket, Zhuo Tong hesitated for a long time before silently and obediently putting it away.

The nature of a gentleman is not different, and he is good at things.

The ability to use tools and rely on external objects is precisely what distinguishes humans from other animals.

"Forget it, let nature take its course."

Feeling a bit hot from the sun, Zhuo Tong turned around, preparing to return to the car to continue waiting for Han Qi.

But then he discovered that two young people, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, were standing in front of his car taking pictures, and were even planning to stand on the roof of the car with their shoes on.
