Meanwhile, in a coffee shop.

After ending the call, Rong Jun asked mysteriously, "What exactly is your relationship with Yu Wan?" He had heard many versions of the story and didn't know which one was true.

Tang Yue smiled, casually leaning back on the leather sofa, his long legs crossed: "Me and Wanwan..."

He paused deliberately, looking at Rong Yun's curious expression as she craned her neck, then lowered his eyelids, slowly picked up his cup, took a sip of coffee, and continued, "...Of course, it's an employer-employee relationship."

"Pfft!" Rong Yun spat out a mouthful of water, thinking she had misheard, and asked incredulously, "Say it again."

Tang Yue: "Wanwan hires me as a domestic worker."

"..." Rong Yun's eyes widened suddenly, and her voice rose: "You? A domestic worker!"

The handsome man in front of me was casual and elegant; he seemed completely out of place as a domestic worker.

Instead, it seems like...

Seeing Tang Yue nod, Rong Yun remained silent for half a minute before weakly asking, "How much money do you owe the Yu Group? I'll help you pay it off."

Good heavens! His most prized student has fallen so low as to sell his beauty to pay off his debts.

Wait a minute! Something's not right!

"A couple of days ago, the media reported that the number of registered users of 'Survival' exceeded 50 million. The profits from this period alone should be enough to pay off most of the debts, right?" Rong Jun felt more and more uneasy. He looked at Tang Yue again. The man was calm and composed, full of energy, and showed no signs of bankruptcy.

He suddenly realized: "Is there something more to Tang's bankruptcy than meets the eye?"

Tang Yue could not deny it.

He took out a document and pushed it in front of Rong Yun: "You helped a lot before the release of 'Survival,' and I haven't had a chance to thank you. I've thought about it and I think you would like this gift."

Rong Jun smiled and his eyes crinkled at the words. No matter what it was, the most important thing was his thoughtfulness.

He picked up the document, opened it, glanced at it a few times, and then his gaze lingered on it.

"This, this is..."

Rong Yun's fingers trembled slightly as she held the document, overcome with excitement.

Last year, he led a team to teach in the mountainous area of ​​City C. After returning, he couldn't stop worrying about the students. Unexpectedly, even in 2020, the educational environment in the mountainous area was still far behind the national average. Although a round of teaching materials had been donated, it was still far from enough.

However, he really didn't expect that just mentioning it to Tang Yue once would make him take it to heart and silently set up a learning fund for these children in the mountains.

With the learning fund, anyone admitted to university can apply for tuition fees with their admission letter. Furthermore, Ausen Group has created assistant positions specifically to provide living expenses for underprivileged students and offer internship opportunities, enhancing their competitiveness in the job market after graduation.

Tang Yue explained, "Actually, I originally planned to use the proceeds from the release of 'Survival' for public welfare. It was because of your influence that I did not donate to charity, but instead established the Runyu Foundation."

Runyu was also the name of the original teaching support project.

“This gift is very precious, but I like it very much.” Rong Yun kept stroking the document and said earnestly and solemnly, “As long as children have access to education, our country will become stronger and stronger.”

Teachers, don't they hope to pass on all their knowledge to their students and be qualified guides?

Tang Yue smiled, a smile spreading across his lips.

The reason he held Rong Yun in the highest esteem was that Rong Yun had given up inheriting the family business, left the center of power to come to Jiangcheng, and dedicated her life to education.

This selfless dedication is just like his parents', except that they...

Tang Yue pursed her lips tightly.

"Are you going to the Guan family charity auction on the 23rd?" Rong Yun composed herself and looked up. "If you are going, then come with me to the capital on the 22nd."

After Tang's bankruptcy, his personal collection and real estate were temporarily seized by the court, but some of them were still taken over by the Guan Group. Those things were dispensable to him, except for one of his parents' heirlooms, which he was determined to get back no matter what.

Tang Yue nodded: "Okay."

-

After a simple lunch, Yu went straight back to the lab in the evening.

My phone kept vibrating during that time.

No one answered.

After making two phone calls, the other party sent a text message.

[Unknown number: I'll be having a violin recital in Sydney after the New Year, and I hope you can attend. I've already sent you the invitation.]

Yu Wan's eyes flickered.

Long-forgotten memories suddenly surfaced in his mind, and his fingers, hanging at his sides, twitched slightly, subconsciously grasping the bow in the air.

Very soon.

Realizing her actions, Yu Wan frowned in annoyance, slid her index finger to the delete button, and clicked "confirm".

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

Just as I reached my workstation, I was suddenly stopped by a tall, aloof woman who extended her hand to me: "Hello, I'm Professor Li's new assistant, Guan Kui."

Yu Wan lazily lifted her eyelids: "Hello."

They touched it, and parted immediately.

Seeing her indifferent expression, Guan Kui couldn't help but tease her, "I am Ji Ting's fiancée. Before I came here, I heard a lot from the people at the research institute about your relationship."

Yu Wan gave a curt "Oh," her face remaining expressionless. She walked past her, sat in the ergonomic chair, picked up a black pen and white draft paper, and began calculating the experimental data.

Guan Kui was completely ignored and neglected.

To ignore it.

This was the first time Guan Kui had ever been rebuffed by anyone else, and she stood there stunned for a good ten seconds before she couldn't help but chuckle softly. With her hands on the table, she leaned down and parted her red lips slightly: "You are indeed an interesting girl. I believe we will get along very well in the days to come."

Her response was the soft scratching sound of the pen tip on the paper.

Guan Kui, feeling awkward, shrugged and walked away.

After she left, Yu Wan raised her head and glanced thoughtfully at her retreating figure.

Is your surname Guan?

Could it be that she's from the capital? What a coincidence!

The Guan family charity auction in Beijing is by invitation only, and it's attended by prominent figures. The Yu Group, at best, is only a third-rate wealthy family in Beijing, and its nouveau riche label makes it easy for them to be excluded; therefore, it's unlikely they'd receive an invitation.

Yu Wan's task of completing the tasks of the mentally challenged system was proving quite complicated, even just getting the invitation letter was a hassle. Perhaps starting with Guan Kui would be much easier.

but.

Let's forget about it.

Yu Wan casually withdrew her gaze.

Guan Kui and Ji Ting are engaged, so it's best to avoid any appearance of impropriety.

As for invitations... as long as you have the money, you can definitely get one!
