This Girl Wins Three Hundred Million Dollars

Chapter 152

As Wuchen left, Shen Youlin immediately reverted to his true self, burying himself in Yu Shu's embrace, and whining, "Did you hear that, my wife? If you don't want me, I'll be miserable. I might be paralyzed, and even this handsome little face you love so much will be disfigured. Whine whine whine... You can't not want me!"

Yu Shu hugged him, patting his shoulder absent-mindedly to comfort him, "It's okay, it's okay. You're so considerate and obedient, how could I not want you?"

"Whine whine whine... You're just brushing me off."

"I'm thinking about something. It seems Wuchen Taoist Priest has two brushes, what's her connection to your family?"

Shen Youlin pursed his lips, not too pleased, "She's known my grandmother since they were young, but I'm not clear on the details. I've heard that when our family first became prominent, she gave us guidance, and we've been supporting her ever since."

For this Luxia Mountain, the Shen family spends several billion each year to lease it for Wuchen Taoist Priest's use. Compared to the cost of leasing the mountain, the expenses of building the Taoist temple and its daily operations are negligible.

Yu Shu nodded, "So now I'm officially a lucky koi, and my luck turned around when I won the lottery. Even now, I still can't figure out why I spent two thousand on lottery tickets back then. It's unfathomable, and the reason probably lies with that convenience store owner."

"Should I ask Passerby A to investigate and find out who this mystic person is?"

"Yeah, but tell him to be polite."

"Don't worry." 𝑓𝓇𝘦𝘦𝔀𝓮𝒷𝘯𝓸𝓋𝓮𝘭.𝓬𝓸𝘮

After the phone call, Shen Youlin snuggled up to her again and started pitching, "Passerby A is super useful, an essential tool for home and travel. Don't look for an assistant, just let me give him to you!"

The matter of Yu Shu finding an assistant had been postponed repeatedly. Whenever something came up, she would trouble Passerby A to take care of it. There was no escaping Shen Youlin's vigilance, so if she were to officially take Passerby A under her wing, it would be like bringing a spy into her home.

Yu Shu patted his cheek, "But then you'd have to find someone new on your side, how troublesome. Come on, we have to keep some secrets between us."

"Hmph, you mean woman. Are you planning to go around flirting and let your assistant cover for you?"

Yu Shu laughed out loud, "I'm not even married yet, and you're already acting like a jealous wife?"

Shen Youlin pouted discontentedly, "It's precisely because I have no status that I'm resentful."

"Why do you hate marriage so much?" Yu Shu pinched his cheek.

"Hmph~"

Time flies in the mountains. A month passed in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Han's vacation ended. She left Luxia Mountain with the jerky and dried fruit made by Shen Youfei, returning to the capital to continue her work.

After Jiang Han left, there was no one for Shen Youlin to bicker with, fish in the river with, or hunt birds with in the mountains. He felt a bit unaccustomed, sitting on the doorstep idly plucking Dou'e's dog fur.

Shen Youfei was copying scriptures, Yu Shu was studying for exams, and he was the most idle of them all, lazing around all day long.

Seeing herself nearly plucked bald like a Mediterranean breed, Dou'e seized the moment when Shen Youlin was distracted and ran off.

Shen Youlin couldn't be bothered to chase after her, tilting his head back and sighing loudly, "I'm sooooo boooored!"

Yu Shu looked up, "Didn't you say you were going to buy a house and renovate it? Where's the house? Where's the renovation?"

Shen Youlin instantly perked up, "Oh right!"

No sooner said than done, Shen Youlin immediately took out his phone and started harassing his subordinates. Their future permanent residence couldn't be just any house - they needed places in Rong City, the capital, and several other major cities. Just the process of buying and renovating would keep him occupied for half a year.

Shen Youfei looked up and saw Shen Youlin running around making phone calls. Her mood brightened, and she couldn't help but smile. When she looked away and met Yu Shu's gaze, they both lowered their heads with a smile before continuing their respective tasks.

Yu Shu and Shen Youlin had been staying at Luxia Mountain for two months. The online attention on her had subsided from its initial frenzy. The current hot topic was a certain fallen little fresh meat who was embroiled in scandals involving gambling, drugs, and prostitution. There had been one expose after another over the past half month, with no end in sight.

Yu Shu had heard all the juicy details about this while on the mountain - Yu Fanxing had just fallen for this little fresh meat and hadn't even had a chance to properly court him with dinners and dates before the scandals broke out. She had cried and complained to Yu Shu for a long time.

Some people online had counted that over the past two years, one celebrity after another had fallen from grace, perfectly fulfilling the prophecy that the entertainment industry would experience a three-year stagnation before a world-class superstar emerges next year.

Upon reading this, Yu Shu couldn't help but find it intriguing. After going through this series of events, it was hard for her not to be a little superstitious.

Additionally, the film company under Shuqi would be established in S City by the end of the month, and Yin Minbi had asked her to return and "take charge."

Thus, Yu Shu and Shen Youlin packed some belongings, including the jerky and dried fruit made by Shen Youfei, and left Luxia Mountain.

Shen Youlin held Shen Youfei's hand, reluctant to part, "You have to miss me, at least three or four times a day. If you really miss me a lot, just call me, and I'll come see you, or you can come see me too."

"Alright, alright, you're getting chattier and chattier. Off you go."

Yu Shu and Shen Youlin bid farewell to her, and Shen Youfei stood at the end of the stone path, smiling as she watched them leave.

After they were out of sight, Shen Youfei turned and walked back to her small courtyard. Despite the sweltering summer, as she stood at the gate of her courtyard, she suddenly felt a chill, a sense of loneliness and desolation.

Yu Shu and Shen Youlin returned to Rong City first, and the matter of Yu Shu finding an assistant was back on the agenda. After three rounds of interviews by the HR department, five candidates were shortlisted for Yu Shu's selection.

Yu Shu arrived at the company, and the employees greeted her just like before, without the prior frenzy. Yu Shu raised an eyebrow, it seemed the company regulations, which had expanded from a single page to an entire book, were somewhat useful - even though most of the content was still related to her as the boss.

Yu Shu returned to her office, where the profiles of the five assistant candidates were already on her desk. As she flipped through them casually, she noticed a familiar name - her fitness instructor, Zheng Xinming, also known as Mr. Muscle.

The HR manager knocked on the door and entered, "Boss, the five assistant candidates are all here. Would you like to meet them now?"

"Yes, let Zheng Xinming come in first."

Mr. Muscle came in wearing a proper suit, groomed impeccably, and strode in with a confident gait. He greeted Yu Shu with a formal bow, "Hello, Boss. I'm Zheng Xinming."

If Yu Shu didn't know him, she might have been fooled by his put-on demeanor.

"Cut the straight man act, I know you too well." Yu Shu took a sip of coffee. "Not a fitness instructor anymore, running here to apply for a job?"

Hearing her words, Mr. Muscle dropped the act, twirling his finger in a feminine gesture, "Well, the pay here is good. I'm just working for money."

"I'm not short on money," Yu Shu smiled, but after looking through Mr. Muscle's profile, she had already made up her mind.

For Zheng Xinming to have made it to the final round of interviews, he must have some skills. Usually, he kept a low profile, but it turned out he was a graduate from a prestigious university. Afterwards, he worked all sorts of odd jobs, honing a diverse set of skills ranging from cooking to boxing - a true jack-of-all-trades.

Zheng Xinming said, "Who doesn't like more money? I'll save wherever I can."

"Those are words straight from my heart. Alright, you're hired."

"Woohoo!" Zheng Xinming jumped up and down in elation.
