When Shu Xiaohan tried her best to reason with him and persuade him, Wen Xiuzhu's only thought was that he wouldn't listen and he was going to leave.

But when Shu Xiaohan said something that implied she also wanted to leave, Wen Xiuzhu hesitated.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, so he could only look at Shu Xiaohan in silence.

Shu Xiaohan said, "But these selfish thoughts do not conflict with my desire to stay by the young prince's side, to continue to assist him and accompany him!"

Gu Yuzhi's eyes widened suddenly. Teacher Shu's words seemed to be the image of Xue Ye rushing towards him on the night he was robbed and killed, as if something warm was slowly enveloping his despairing heart, and his icy limbs gradually warmed up.

Gu Yuzhi felt as if a white light flashed in front of him. He tried to blink, but everything was still pitch black. It was as if the white light was just his imagination.

He puffed out his cheeks and had no choice but to continue listening.

Shu Xiaohan understood this point and spoke quickly: "When you were choosing the young prince before, didn't you think that raising the young prince would be the most challenging? What, now that the young prince is blind, shouldn't the challenge be even greater? Why are you backing down?"

She crossed her arms, raised an eyebrow at Wen Xiuzhu, and asked, "Or is it that Manager Wen doesn't actually have much confidence in himself and thinks that if we fall behind in this year's evaluation, we'll fall behind every year in the future?"

The young prince is so smart that his growth rate is beyond that of ordinary people. Wen Xiuzhu can judge that his next host will be more capable than the young prince.

Wen Xiuzhu was torn between his own mind and his own. His original determination to leave was wavering due to Shu Xiaohan's repeated attacks. He fell into a phase of self-deception, and his brows furrowed even more tightly.

Shu Xiaohan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she had spoken too harshly and hurt the fragile heart of this old-fashioned feudal man?

She cleared her throat, her tone softening considerably: "I understand that when people are in a negative mood, they tend to think more about the bad things. But have you ever thought that the little prince is only six years old and there are many possibilities for his future?"

Shu Xiaohan's mind was filled with images of the past year and a half she had spent with Gu Yuzhi, and a faint smile appeared on her face: "The young prince trusts us and relies on us, which is why we worked so hard to win over the main system last time, isn't it?"

So, Manager Wen, who always likes to say that it's in his nature to be a businessman and pursue profit, use your pig brain and think carefully. What if your next host doesn't believe you and thinks you're just a figment of his imagination?

Wen Xiuzhu's lips twitched, as if he understood the hidden meaning in Shu Xiaohan's words.

He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing up at the non-existent sky. Why did he want to come back and see again? Because he believed that the young prince would surely be able to turn misfortune into good fortune...

But he never expected that the young prince would go blind!

However, the young prince is only blind, not mentally impaired...

Wen Xiuzhu stared at her without blinking. Very well, there was another reason for her to stay.

But how do we get down this ladder?

Wen Xiuzhu was now in a difficult position...

After spending more than a year together, Shu Xiaohan felt she had come to understand this "profit-driven" man to some extent.

Deep down, he was a thoroughly feudal, extremely chauvinistic ancient man. Therefore, when the agricultural-merchant system was first successfully matched, he showed a very strong sense of rejection and contempt for himself.

Shu Xiaohan was no nobody in modern times; her students were all over the country. Compared to Wen Xiuzhu, she was indeed not as wealthy, but she had a high social status. Wherever she went, people respectfully addressed her as Teacher Shu.

Just because you look down on me doesn't mean I should respect you.

Although both of them harbored their own ulterior motives, they were bound together after all, and they still had to maintain appearances.

In subsequent collaborations, Wen Xiuzhu would frequently accuse her of being "shameless," lacking any semblance of a refined lady, and spouting clichés like "a good man doesn't argue with a woman" and mocking agriculture as useless.

The conflict between the two deepened, and they had many arguments without the prince's knowledge. It wasn't until the prince fell into a coma because of their dispute that they forcibly suppressed their dissatisfaction with each other.

However, as the cooperation continued, the number of disputes between the two parties decreased. Although Wen Xiuzhu could not change his deep-rooted feudalism, and she still looked down on Wen Xiuzhu's profit-seeking, they found a balance because of the young prince.

Shu Xiaohan had already decided that she would stay by the young prince's side until the main system determined that the mission was complete.

Wen Xiuzhu is somewhat annoying, but he is very dedicated to teaching the young prince. If we match him with a new business system, who knows if he will be even worse than Wen Xiuzhu?

In the silence, Shu Xiaohan's anger gradually subsided. Like Wen Xiuzhu, she put her hands behind her back, paced slowly, and waited quietly for a while, but still did not get Wen Xiuzhu to give in.

She simply stopped trying to persuade her, and gritted her teeth, changing her tone: "Fine, if you want to leave, then leave. I'll contact the main system right now and unbind myself from your business system!"

"Anyway, Wen's Trading Company has already ventured into everything it needs to. When the time comes, we can just switch to a different system and reap the benefits."

Shu Xiaohan said smugly, "While we are undoubtedly involved in the young prince's success today, the most important factor is the network of connections he has!"

The Emperor is the biggest connection behind Gu Yuzhi. Even without them, the young prince would definitely succeed.

She chuckled and said, "Why don't you hurry up and leave? That way I can tell the main system to send over a modern, domineering CEO."

While Wen Xiuzhu stared in disbelief, she continued gesturing, "Over 1.83 meters tall, eight-pack abs, a high-pitched voice, bronze skin, and a jawline that's clearer than your cleavage!"

It's a bit embarrassing to talk about, but when she was alive, Shu Xiaohan didn't have any other hobbies. She just liked reading CEO romance novels that didn't require much brainpower.

After all, when you're doing research, you use your brain too much, so you want things to be simpler in your daily life.

Wen Xiuzhu's focus shifted instantly. Looking at the woman who was counting on her fingers, his narrowed eyes widened considerably. His fan fell silently to the ground, and after a while, he cursed, "Damn it!"

Although your intention is to persuade me, don't think I won't hold a grudge against you for disliking me for being fat and short!

Wen Xiuzhu glared angrily at Shu Xiaohan, then suddenly burst into laughter. He had finally found a way out!

He bent down and picked up the fan: "Teacher Shu is quite shrewd. But I'm not a good person!"

He narrowed his eyes slightly: "How could I possibly let someone else pluck the fruit that belongs to me!"

Wen Xiuzhu turned his head and saw that Gu Yuzhi had sat up at some point.

The little one was almost curled up in a ball, eyes red-rimmed, staring blankly at them...
