My seniority is extraordinary: I was only eight years old when the whole village came to wish me a H

When Wu You casually uttered the words "I'll pay,"

Su Qinghuan felt that she had completely fallen for him.

The last trace of hesitation, unease, and fear in her heart vanished in that instant.

Instead, there was an unprecedented, immense warmth and emotion.

She looked at the eight-year-old child in front of her, who seemed more reliable than a mountain.

She could no longer hold back the grievances and bitterness that had been building up in her heart for more than 20 years.

She crouched down and buried her face in her hands, bursting into tears like a child who had suffered a great injustice.

In those cries, there was relief, gratitude, excitement, and even more so, endless anticipation for the future.

In the control room, everyone watched this scene in silence.

No one bothered her.

They knew that this woman, who had been strong for so long, needed such a complete release.

Old Wang and Little Li, seeing Su Qinghuan's shoulders heaving from her intense sobs, also had tears in their eyes.

They had worked with Su Qinghuan for many years.

They knew better than anyone how much hardship and effort this seemingly glamorous TV star had put in behind the scenes.

And now, her suffering has finally come to an end.

Wu You stood quietly in front of her.

He neither helped her up nor comforted her.

He simply waited quietly.

Wait for her to wipe away her tears and stand up again.

Because he knew that what he was giving her was neither pity nor charity.

Rather, it is an opportunity for equal cooperation.

He needs her to use her talent and abilities to create greater value for him and for Wujia Village.

This is the art of managing people.

Both are techniques used by emperors.

Sometimes life is like a play; your hard work and struggle may not be as effective as someone else's few strokes of the pen.

However, if you can't even put in the effort, how can you expect others to write a few words for you?

After crying for a long time, Su Qinghuan's emotions gradually calmed down.

She raised her head, and although her beautiful eyes were red and swollen from crying, they were brighter and more determined than ever before.

She looked at Wu You and said, word by word, with utmost solemnity and reverence, "Young Master."

"thank you."

"From this day forward, my life, Su Qinghuan's life, belongs to you."

"If you tell me to go east, I will never go west."

"I'll do whatever you ask me to do."

"I'd go through fire and water for you!"

Her words were firm and resolute, filled with unquestionable determination.

Wu You looked at her and nodded gently.

"very good."

"I enjoy dealing with intelligent people."

He turned around and walked back to his own chair, sitting down in front of the main seat.

"Since you have accepted my 'gift of gratitude'..."

"So, next, let's talk about the new job."

"I am not stingy with rewards for those who do things well, and similarly, those who repeatedly make mistakes will not have an easy time either."

His tone instantly shifted from the gentleness of before back to the calm and efficiency befitting someone in power.

Su Qinghuan immediately suppressed all her personal emotions.

She wiped away her tears, stood up, and sat back down in her seat.

Her face once again displayed that professional and capable expression.

She knew that from this moment on, she was Wu You's subordinate.

"Young master, please give your orders."

Her voice was steady and powerful.

Old Wang and Little Li immediately perked up and looked at Wu You with serious expressions.

Wu You's gaze swept across the faces of the three of them one by one.

"You did a great job at today's ancestral worship ceremony."

He first gave his approval.

"Both the effects of the live stream and the guidance of public opinion exceeded my expectations."

"but……"

He then changed the subject.

"That's far from enough."

The hearts of Su Qinghuan and the other two jumped instantly.

"The ancestral worship ceremony is impressive, but it is ultimately too far removed from the lives of ordinary people."

"What it brings is more of a sense of awe and distance from traditional culture."

"But what I need is more than just that."

Wu You's gaze deepened.

"I need to bring Wujia Village and Strawberry TV to every household."

"I need a feeling that's more down-to-earth and can resonate with everyone."

Upon hearing this, Su Qinghuan nodded thoughtfully.

"Young master, you mean...?"

"What's the date today?" Wu You didn't answer directly, but instead asked a question.

"Today... is the last day of the twelfth lunar month, New Year's Eve," Su Qinghuan replied.

"Very good." Wu You nodded.

"Then let me ask you."

What does Lunar New Year's Eve mean in China?

"It means...reunion," Su Qinghuan answered subconsciously.

"That's right, reunion." Wu You's lips curled into a smile.

"But in this country, there are still many people who, for various reasons, are unable to reunite with their families on New Year's Eve."

"There are soldiers stationed on the frontier, doctors and police officers who stick to their posts, migrant workers who wander far from home to make a living, and people like you who are homeless."

Wu You's words were like a needle, gently pricking Su Qinghuan's heart.

She recalled her past, every cold and desolate New Year's Eve.

"so."

Wu You's gaze became intense.

"I've decided to extend today's live stream until the end of the Lunar New Year's Eve celebrations."

"Here, Strawberry TV presents an unprecedented online New Year's Eve gala."

"The theme of this party is called..."

He paused, then slowly uttered words filled with warmth and strength.

"Though we are far apart, we share this moment."
