A pampered young lady from a wealthy family is reborn, choosing a rich wife over a rich man.

Seeing Meng Zhixue's panicked expression, Zhou Yu chuckled and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Meng Zhixue bit her lip and looked at him with suspicion.

"Milk?" Zhou Yu asked again.

"...!!!" The past was too painful to recall, and Meng Zhixue immediately blushed and denied it three times in a row, "I didn't! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Oh..." Zhou Yu nodded readily, then apologized, "I misunderstood you. Judging from your expression, I thought you were thinking of something inappropriate and misunderstood me."

Meng Zhixue: "This..."

Is not it?

She retorted, "If you didn't intend to think about anything unhealthy, why are you making me take a shower?"

Zhou Yu suppressed a laugh and asked, "You smell like hotpot, don't you take a shower?"

"This..." Meng Zhixue thought it made a lot of sense, but then asked, "Then tell me you're going to show me something good?"

Zhou Yu's smile deepened: "What I've prepared for you is indeed something good, something you desperately need. What else did you expect it to be?"

He prepared meticulously for three days.

"I..." Meng Zhixue quickly shut her mouth, gave an awkward laugh, "Haha, let's eat, let's continue eating!"

What she was thinking about was something she could never say!

Absolutely not!

Half an hour later.

Meng Zhixue walked into the study on the second floor, took the stack of investigation materials handed to her by Zhou Yu, and had to admit that they were indeed "good stuff".

She almost laughed in anger: "So it's not that I'm incompetent at work that's why I've been fired time and time again. It's that Xue Yan deliberately sabotaged me to pull me into Ye Jue, spreading rumors about me behind my back and causing me to lose job after job?"

She knew Xue Yan wasn't a good person, but she didn't think of her as that bad.

I never expected there to be so many underhanded tricks behind the scenes.

However, she looked at Zhou Yu curiously: "Young Master Zhou, why did you suddenly start investigating these things?"

"What do you think?" Zhou Yu looked down at her and asked, "You cried so bitterly in front of Wei Suying that day. As your boss, shouldn't I be more considerate of my employee?"

Meng Zhixue's face flushed, and she looked at him innocently: "You heard everything? Well... thank you?"

"You're welcome." His throat tickled from the stimulation of her flushed cheeks, and Zhou Yu cleared his throat before asking, "Want to teach that Xue guy a lesson?"

Meng Zhixue was conflicted.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Never mind."

She definitely disliked Xue Yan, but those things happened more than a decade ago. Now that the truth is out, she knows it wasn't her fault, so she'll just let it go.

Mainly, she didn't want to have anything to do with Xue Yan anymore.

"Alright." A dark glint flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes, but he didn't continue the topic. Instead, he smiled impatiently and said, "I'll show you something else that I guarantee you won't be able to resist!"

Meng Zhixue immediately looked at him warily: "What do you mean by 'can't stop wanting to stop'?"

She felt that she wanted something unhealthy again.

Zhou Yu could tell from the look in her eyes that her lewd thoughts had surfaced again.

It's just an idiom, why are you overthinking it?

In her heart, was he just a scoundrel who always lusted after her body?

"I suggest you cleanse your brain with knowledge!" Zhou Yu said irritably, pressing her down into a chair and making her look at the computer.

Meng Zhixue stared at the online course page in disbelief: "This is the good stuff you were talking about?"

Zhou Yu nodded reservedly, then picked up two more books: "One is on mind mapping, and the other is on the Feynman Learning Technique. These learning tools can help you study better. Don't you want to transfer to a four-year university and pursue further education? I'll guide you through the process."

Meng Zhixue was dumbfounded. Is this the kind of execution power a domineering CEO can have?

Zhou Yu took out another document and placed it in front of her.

Meng Zhixue looked down, her feelings a mix of emotions: "You even picked out a school for me?"

"Yes." Fearing she might be hesitant, Zhou Yu unusually added a few more words, "These are schools I carefully selected for you. They have good conditions in all aspects, and you can get in with a little effort."

Meng Zhixue looked troubled: "But I don't plan to continue my studies."

"You don't want to?" Zhou Yu looked at her, unusually surprised. "Didn't we agree on this?"

"When did you agree on that?" Meng Zhixue asked in surprise.

Zhou Yu: "..."

I took a deep breath and suddenly had a heart attack.

He had an excellent memory. Recalling their conversation three days ago, Meng Zhixue had indeed not explicitly expressed her desire to study; she had only said "okay" when he was being coy.

But how could anyone not like learning?

Just like conquering the business world, isn't the thrill of overcoming challenges addictive?

That's not all. Thinking back to how I bragged to Lin Heng, saying things like "No wonder you don't have a girlfriend," I now just feel ashamed.

"Young Master Zhou..." Meng Zhixue suddenly looked at him expectantly, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling. "Forget about studying, you're so smart and capable, could you help me with a career plan? Ideally, something that will help me achieve financial freedom quickly, the kind where I can just relax and do nothing!"

"Oh..." Zhou Yu smirked, glancing at her. "Want to achieve financial freedom?"

"Mm." Meng Zhixue nodded.

"Want to lie down?"

"Mmm!" Meng Zhixue nodded vigorously.

"I'll show you the fastest route..."

"Mmm-hmm!" Meng Zhixue perked up her ears.

Leaning forward, Zhou Yu placed his hands on the desk, encircling her expectantly between his body and the desk, almost pulling her into his arms. His cool, peach-blossom eyes lowered slightly, locking onto her gaze.

In order to hear the expert's advice, Meng Zhixue gritted her teeth and endured it, not pushing him away as he exceeded the safe social distance.

Zhou Yu: "Come lie down on my bed. I'll give you the wealth you want, and I'll take care of all the hard work. You won't have to lift a finger... What do you think of this suggestion?"

Meng Zhixue: "...??!!!"

Now that he's spoken, she really wants to agree, regardless of whether he's being sarcastic or not!

Don't test her morality; she doesn't have any morals anyway!

but……

"How could I possibly not have to put in any effort?" Meng Zhixue exclaimed in anguish, determined to explain, "Even if an ox doesn't feel tired while plowing, the land will lose its fertility if it's used too many times! You can tease me all you want, but promise me, when you have a girlfriend in the future, even if you're full of energy, you'll let her rest more, okay?"

These words left Zhou Yu momentarily speechless.

During his investigation, he discovered that this idiot had never had a boyfriend before, so where did all this bitterness and resentment come from? She'd always been like this...

He can't exactly say, "You've been harassed, please behave yourself," can he?

That's infuriating!

All he could say was, "...Okay."

Meng Zhixue immediately asked, "You really listened to my advice and will let your girlfriend rest more?"

She was truly the other party's benefactor!

Zhou Yu took a deep breath, his smile dangerous, almost breaking down: "I meant, I'm going to help you with your career planning!"

Meng Zhixue: "..."

Hmm, okay.

……

Zhou Yu is very efficient.

The following evening, he summoned Meng Zhixue to his study again.

He pushed a document in front of her with his long, slender fingers and said, "This is a career plan tailored for you. Take a look, and if you don't understand anything, just ask me."

"Mmm!" Meng Zhixue exclaimed with delight and quickly took it.

This business plan outlines three directions: livestreaming influencer, private chef, and children's sensory integration trainer.

Being an internet celebrity is a looks-based career, a short-lived profession, so she's not interested.

Is the private chef's wife someone Zhou Shao is satisfied with in terms of cooking skills? It's true that she likes cooking, but she only wants to satisfy her own appetite and doesn't want to be surrounded by smoke and fire all day long.

The last child sensory integration therapist...

Actually, she had considered it in her past life, but her boyfriend at the time didn't support her going out to work and didn't believe in her abilities. She tried to get it done several times without success and lost confidence in herself, so it just ended there.

Now that she sees it again, she wants to seize the opportunity!

"Young Master Zhou..." Meng Zhixue's eyes were filled with anticipation and nervousness, "I want to choose the last one, is that alright?"

"Sure," Zhou Yu nodded, then feigned reluctance, "But as far as I know, becoming a qualified sensory integration therapist for children requires professional training and study. Are you willing to do that?"

"Of course I'm willing!" Meng Zhixue nodded without hesitation.

Do you learn mind mapping to better understand your professional knowledge?

"I studied!"

"Is it the Kirman learning method?"

"I studied!"

"Do you need me to supervise and guide you?"

"I want!"

"Hmm." A smile finally appeared in Zhou Yu's eyes, and he nodded reservedly. "Since you are sincerely asking me, then I will agree to your request, and I will arrange all the resources for you."

"Will it cost a lot of money?" Meng Zhixue asked timidly.

Zhou Yu glanced at her indifferently: "Do you need to spend money on your studies? I'll cover it."

"That's wonderful!" Meng Zhixue was so happy she wanted to jump up, her words tumbling out in a jumble of excited chatter. "Young Master Zhou, you're so amazing! You're the best student in the world! I'm so happy! If I wasn't afraid of offending you, I really wanted to kiss you!"

Zhou Yu: "..."

You're quite something, huh?
