As soon as Gu Yunze got off work, Lin Yu mysteriously pulled him into the room.

"What's wrong? Where's my older brother?" Gu Yunze asked curiously as he walked.

Lin Yu waved her hand and said, "He went out with his friends. Come with me."

Gu Yunze followed her into the room and saw two large, antique wooden boxes on the floor.

The box is made of solid wood and looks to be of very good quality, with exquisite carvings on it.

But it's just a container; what's more important is what's inside it.

Lin Yu took the small key and opened the lock with a "click," making Gu Yunze's heart jump.

I couldn't help but wonder what was inside.

To surprise him, Lin Yu opened the first box filled with gold and silver jewelry.

When the lid was lifted, Gu Yunze was almost blinded by the light.

"So many! Xiaoyu, this is too much..."

He swallowed hard. No one in this world can resist the temptation of gold and silver jewelry, and Gu Yunze was no exception.

This was the first time in his life he had ever seen so much treasure.

Lin Yu only explained the origin of the item after observing his surprised expression.

He opened another box and said, "Actually, I think these are more valuable."

Gu Yunze randomly opened one, and it was a painting by a famous poet from hundreds of years ago, and it looked very much like an authentic work.

Lin Yu wasn't sure if it was real or not, but even if it was a fake, it looked quite valuable.

These are more meaningful than gold and silver jewelry, and they also have collectible value.

Gu Yunze couldn't believe it: "These are all yours?"

Lin Yu nodded and said, "It's part of my dowry. If you've finished looking at it, help me find a place to hide it."

Gu Yunze now understands even more why Lin Yu spends money so lavishly; it turns out she has so much wealth.

If you exchange this for money, you could spend it all in ten lifetimes, so what's there to worry about?

However, he also knew that these things should be left unused if possible, and kept for future emergencies.

So now we need to find a safe place to hide.

Lin Yu originally intended to keep it in a hidden cellar, just like she did at the Qiao family's house in Haicheng.

But Gu Yunze felt that the cellar was too easy to find, so it would be better to dig a pit and bury it.

Lin Yu agreed: "Then you can dig together when my brother comes back. His friend helped deliver the stuff and went out to treat some people to dinner."

Qiao Feng was his former comrade-in-arms, and this time they came to Beicheng for further studies together.

He only told the other person that he was helping his sister move two boxes of books, and then locked the boxes, so the friend didn't know exactly what was inside.

When Qiao Feng returned from treating people to dinner, he and Gu Yunze began digging a hole in the yard.

Both of them were strong and muscular men. While Lin Yu went in to take a shower, he had already dug the pit.

Both large boxes were buried under the soil, and Lin Yu was completely relieved.

During the meal, she reminded Qiao Feng, "You need to keep your own money safe too, that's your money for your future wife."

Qiao Feng tapped her on the head and said, "I know, housekeeper."

Lin Yu pouted as she looked at Gu Yunze.

Gu Yunze reached out and hugged him, saying with displeasure, "Why are you hitting me?"

Qiao Feng frowned and said, "Xiao Yu, are you becoming so delicate now that you're married?"

Lin Yu stuck her tongue out at him: "Hehe, now that I have someone to protect me, of course I'm spoiled. You, an old bachelor without a wife, would never understand."

Qiao Feng shook his head and smiled helplessly, but he was very happy inside.

It seems that Lin Yu did not suffer any grievances after getting married.

On the contrary, Lin Yu now lives a fulfilling and happy life every day.

The biggest benefit of marriage for her was that she felt her life became more stable.

Living in the northern part of the city gives me a greater sense of belonging.

As the days went by, Lin Yu was approached by the economic and trade department when she was about to graduate from university.

The other party is the secretary of the unit leader, surnamed Zhang.

Secretary Zhang was somewhat surprised when she saw Lin Yu: "I didn't expect you to be so good-looking."

He had read Lin Yu's topic selection report, which was substantial and well-organized.

In his and the director's imagination, the author should be a rigorous and calm academic talent.

The meeting turned out to be quite different from what he had imagined.

The girl looked pretty and was dressed fashionably; she didn't seem like someone who could write such profound words.

Lin Yu greeted him with a smile, displaying her poise and grace.

Secretary Zhang had doubts, so he asked many questions, intending to test whether she had real skills.

Lin Yuxin understood; she realized the other person was judging by appearance.

But she didn't mind and answered the questions seriously, including some of her own thoughts and suggestions.

As Secretary Zhang listened, his expression gradually became serious.

This girl is truly well-endowed; her reputation is well-deserved.

It seems I made the mistake of relying on past experience; I shouldn't have viewed others with conventional thinking and instead harbored doubts.

As I was leaving, Secretary Zhang warmly invited me, saying, "Our department desperately needs someone like you, and we hope to become your colleague."

Lin Yu hadn't decided on her job yet, so she didn't give a definite answer, only saying:

"I need to go home and discuss it with my family."

Secretary Zhang was disappointed, but she knew it was time for the other party to choose them, so she said, "Then I hope you will think it over carefully. Our department is very suitable for you."

Lin Yu smiled and saw the person off.

When Gu Yunze got home and learned about the matter, he didn't express any opinion.

I simply asked her, "Do you want to go?"

Does Lin Yu want to? She doesn't know.

She has many interests; she has considered working in a government department and starting her own business.

But I haven't seriously considered which one is best for me.

So she went to Professor Wang.

Professor Wang already knew that the economics and trade department had approached her, and upon hearing this, he asked, "Have you ever thought about pursuing graduate studies?"

Lin Yu suddenly looked up: "You mean?"

Professor Wang smiled and said, "I'll be starting to supervise graduate students next year. Would you like to come?"

He genuinely admired this bright and quick-witted student and hoped she could stay in his research group.

"However, it still depends on your own wishes. With your abilities, you will do very well in any organization."

After returning home, Lin Yu thought about it carefully for a long time and realized that she really enjoyed working with Professor Wang.

Moreover, joining the research team would give her more free time, allowing her to balance her studies with time to explore industries that truly interest her.

Lin Yu refused Secretary Zhang's offer and called to explain the situation.

When Secretary Zhang heard that she wanted to pursue further studies, she felt disappointed but also admired her.

If someone doesn't give up their studies for immediate benefits and can stick to their principles, what can't they accomplish?

It's a real shame that their department lost this person.

So she didn't rule it out completely, only saying, "If you want to come back after you graduate, you can look me up."

Lin Yu was flattered; such a large national organization actually said they would wait for her for several years.

She felt uneasy, yet grateful for the other party's appreciation.

So she didn't refuse on the spot, but simply said, "Thank you, I hope we can work together someday."
