On this day, Mo You, who was out on business, knocked on the door of the president's office.
"Miss, we've finally found a breakthrough."
As soon as Mo You spoke, Pei Wu looked up from the document to look at him.
After meeting Pei Wu's gaze, Mo You lowered his head respectfully and said...
"When Shen Yuxin was having an affair with a married man and was about to commit adultery, he was caught in the act by the man's wife. The woman's family is preparing to sue them for adultery."
Upon hearing this, a hint of pleasure appeared between Pei Wu's slightly raised eyebrows.
Pei Wu had been pondering a feasible and reliable way to completely rid Shen Yu Nan of the Shen family's 'blood-sucking' behavior. From the moment the system issued the task, she sent people to secretly pay attention to everything about the Shen family, waiting for an opportunity to find a good solution.
Shen Yuxin is Shen Yunan's younger sister, born to the same parents. She is also the only young woman in the family, living in a remote and isolated mountain village. However, this only woman has not been able to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family as she had hoped.
Society advocates gender equality, but equality is easier said than done. Verbal equality can never bridge the gender gap.
Even in a metropolis like S City, it would be difficult to implement, let alone in such an isolated mountain village where social customs still retain outdated ideas and the preference for women over men is even more serious.
"Has it reached a point where it's out of control?" Pei Wu asked again.
"Yes, everyone knows. Shen Yuxin was almost beaten to death by the man's wife. She nearly lost her life. It was only because the Shen family couldn't stop her and couldn't bear to see their daughter beaten to death that they called the police."
Being cheated on by one's husband is something no woman can accept. Not only does she lose face, but her entire family will be ridiculed. In this modern society, which evolved from a society where women were traditionally respected, the law still protects women's rights.
"As you instructed, I haven't given the Shen family any money recently. I'm afraid that woman's family couldn't get the money, so they came to our door, which led to all these things."
"...."
Pei Wu pondered for a moment after hearing Mo You's words.
So what are their demands now?
"Naturally, he wanted to save his daughter from imprisonment."
Pei Wu nodded, and after a moment's thought, continued.
"I can help them achieve their demands, but remember, only this once. Then give them some money to leave that place and live a good life. Just one condition: they must never again leech off Chen Yu Nan. Of course, the evidence of adultery has also been collected. If they don't follow my instructions in the future, I will still send their daughter to jail, and then it won't just be this one crime. Make it clear to them that if I want to deal with them, it will be a piece of cake."
"yes."
Even though Pei Wu had instructed the Shen family not to harass Shen Yu Nan, they had indeed been unable to contact him for the past few days. Pei Wu, who was letting things escalate, had no choice but to contact her son.
As Shen Yuhan listened to his father recount the events over the phone, his voice choked with sobs, he clenched his fists again and again, feeling that Shen Yuxin had only herself to blame.
He simply replied, "How could I possibly solve something like this? A few years in jail will probably teach her a lesson."
Over the years, he has mostly remained indifferent to the Shen family, merely fulfilling his duty to support his parents. However, his parents' hearts are entirely devoted to his younger sister.
“If they come to our house and cause trouble, we’ll call the police. If they take Shen Yuxin away, you’ll have some peace and quiet.”
Upon hearing Shen Yuhuan say this, Shen's father on the other end of the phone suddenly raised his voice and started cursing at Shen Yuhuan.
Shen Yu Nan listened with a calm expression until his father was too tired to scold him anymore, then he continued, "Since you feel you can't live there anymore, you can rent a house in town. I will transfer rent and living expenses to you regularly every month. As for Shen Yu Xin, I can't help her. She is an adult. If she does something wrong, someone else will naturally educate her. Bye."
After finishing his sentence, Shen Yu'nan hung up the phone and then didn't answer any more calls from the Shen family for several days.
Since running away from home during high school, Shen Yu'nan had not been in contact with his family for a long time. He only reconnected with them after receiving a call from his father saying that his mother was critically ill. No matter how much he resented them, they were still his parents.
Shen Yu Nan's mother was critically ill and was rushed to the emergency room several times before she survived. However, she could only lie in bed and was unable to take care of herself. She had to rely entirely on her father to take care of her. Therefore, after losing Shen's mother as the source of income, Shen's father was also unable to work and relied entirely on selling the grain from the family's land to make a living.
Even if Shen Yu'nan harbors resentment, he is still a person with a conscience; he simply cannot be completely cold-blooded.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yu'nan sat there for a long time before checking his account balance.
He only had a few hundred yuan left in his account; the last money he sent home was borrowed from a friend. Although Pei Wu promised to give him a salary, it hadn't even been a month yet...
The system is always able to capture Shen Yu Nan's thoughts in the first instance.
'Beep!'
A new daily task has been issued: Take care of the owner's three meals a day and daily needs for four weeks. The reward is 5,000 R-coins.
This is also why Shen Yu'nan has been coming back to Pei Wu's place these past few days to cook and tidy up the room.
For the first time, Shen Yu'nan experienced the human touch of the system.
After a long silence, he said "Thank you" to the system.
The system replied, "A good system is one that can motivate the host to perform tasks."
Shen Yunan found it quite reasonable and was speechless for a moment.
*
Today marks the seventh day since Shen Yu Nan received the call from the Shen family, and also the seventh day since he started tidying up Pei Wu's room and cooking for her. The system promised that the reward money could be settled weekly, the reason being to keep the host motivated to complete the task.
At 7 p.m., Shen Yu'nan received the bank's notification that '1250 has arrived'.
Immediately afterwards, I received a WeChat message from my roommate, Ji Congyan.
"You didn't say your CEO Pei was this good-looking! Her temperament is also exceptional. I always thought she was a middle-aged woman, but she's actually a stunning young beauty."
Several sentences popped up almost simultaneously, revealing just how fast Ji Congyan was typing. Several cute emojis followed the sentences.
Shen Yu'nan replied with a puzzled "?"
Immediately afterwards, a dialog box popped up on the other end.
After pressing the red "decline" button, Shen Yuhuan replied, "It's not convenient to answer the phone."
Compared to the Shen family members he hadn't seen for many years, he was more afraid that his close friend, with whom he had a lot of contact, would notice the difference in his voice.
