Shi Nian was completely bewildered.

Qin Yajing said, "The two of them are already showing signs of turning against each other because of their rivalry for her!"

Shi Nian: "........."

She glanced at Yueyue again in surprise.

I never expected that this girl, who is full of youthful energy, would have such great charm!

Qin Yajing continued, "In order to win her over, my ex-husband secretly helped Yueyue's family a lot, enabling her father, who was heavily in debt, to not only pay off his debts but also land a big project, and the family began to prosper."

"Her good-for-nothing gambling brother went from being besieged by debt collectors every day to now driving luxury cars all over the streets."

At this point, Qin Yajing paused again.

She looked at Shi Nian and said, "So her family is rich again. Do you think she still works at the coffee shop?"

Shi Nian shook her head.

Qin Yajing smiled meaningfully.

She said, "Creating a persona, a persona of self-reliance, otherwise, are you just going to go home and become a rich heiress? Would that still be attractive to men?"

“As I said, she is good at playing the victim, so she always puts herself in the weakest position so that people will pity her. A rich girl will not make men feel that she is weak.”

Shi Nian misunderstood.

She remembered Qin Yajing saying that she clearly had powerful backers, so why did she still need to work?

"So you're implying something about me?" Shi Nian asked directly without any hesitation.

Qin Yajing: "........."

She said, "No, Yueyue is building a persona, but you,"

Qin Yajing didn't mince words: "You really are stupid."

Shi Nian: "........."

Qin Yajing curled her lips again and said with a sigh, "But actually I can also create such a persona. Even though I have become a big star, I still have to live a simple and frugal life and never forget my original intention. I think there might be fewer people who criticize me if I do that."

"But I refuse to do that. Why do I work so hard to earn money? It's to enjoy myself, to be a princess. Otherwise, why would I risk my life to climb up the social ladder?"

Qin Yajing stopped talking after that.

She did not continue to elaborate on her personal story.

After all, she said so much in an attempt to enlighten this blockhead in front of her.

"So Shi Nian, the reason I told you so much is to tell you that even if you have a powerful backer, you can continue to work, not because you are short of money, but because you should build a persona like her."

"That's how you can manipulate men and achieve your goals. Since you have a man to rely on, make good use of him. Don't be as foolish as me, struggling to climb up the ladder on your own and suffering so much for nothing."

.........

Qin Yajing said all that on purpose.

The key to navigating war is to find the right mindset, which means utilizing the right mindset.

So when she taught, she said, "Don't be a complete idiot; you also need to learn to use your strengths and weaknesses."

Don't work so hard.

Enjoy it while you can.

Although Zhan Xiuchen and she had a close relationship, it seemed a bit off that she was instigating the woman Zhan Xiuchen had chosen to use him against him...

But what can we do?

The connections between people are truly wondrous!

Some people, even after spending a lifetime together, still find each other utterly repulsive!

I wish I could kill him with a single, painful blow!

Some people, however, can develop feelings for each other after spending less than a day together!

And that's what she meant to Shi Nian.

She really did start to like this innocent, almost naive, little girl.

That's why she didn't want Zhan Xiuchen to take advantage of Shi Nian for nothing.

Zhan Xiuchen, that old fox with a thousand-year history.

You'll have to suffer some losses too.

Now, she just needs to be more careful when teaching.

After Qin Yajing finished speaking, Shi Nian remained silent.

Qin Yajing thought that Shi Nian had taken it to heart.

Unexpectedly, after leaving the coffee shop, Shi Nian suddenly said, "Miss Qin, you may say you're foolish, but if you were given another chance, you would still choose to climb up the ladder on your own, rather than relying on a man."

Qin Yajing was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly.

So be it!

She said she and this woman named Shi Nian got along well!

have a look!

I saw right through her!

"Mountains may crumble, and people are even more unreliable. Even if she is currently very popular with men and they flock around her, beauty fades and love wanes. One day, she will have nothing left."

"You're right. If I had another chance, I'd still rely on myself," Qin Yajing said self-deprecatingly. "So, like you, I'm a fool, but..."

“You’re wrong about one thing,” Qin Yajing continued. “Even if a man’s love disappears one day, everything she gained won’t disappear. For example, she relied on a man to make her family prosper again, and that won’t disappear.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Nian was taken aback.

.........

Perhaps because she had met her "love rival," Qin Yajing didn't say anything, but she had been in low spirits ever since she left the coffee shop.

So she went home early, saying she wanted to rest early today.

Shi Nian also naturally "left work" early.

She returned to the Jade Palace.

When Shi Nian was in Baiyu Palace, he would usually be in the study.

This day was no exception.

On this day, Shi Nian learned something else from a book.

When she lived in the slums, Shi Nian only knew that the president was the most important person in a country.

But why did the president become president?

Shi Nian had never thought of that.

Or perhaps no one in the entire slum had ever thought about this issue.

And now I understand it from the book.
