Chapter 182 Beneath the Mountains and Seas



But what could he say before he sank?

He roughly guessed some of Yuan You's thoughts. Before Shen Qian, he had told Yuan You to think of a way to gain his trust.

Although Yuan You didn't say it directly, it was clear that this was actually her "solution".

On the surface, it seems that Yuan You is "sacrificing herself," but in reality, she had another option before sinking.

That means giving up on saving her.

The dead are actually the safest; they can keep all secrets.

Yuan You was gambling with her life, entrusting everything to Shen Qian.

The woman's decisiveness and intelligence left Shen Qian feeling both helpless and impressed.

Of course, Shen Qian wouldn't put all the blame on Yuan You; what's done is done.

He remained relatively calm before sinking.

He was, after all, a young man full of vigor and passion, especially after his rapid progress in martial arts recently. His boiling blood often woke him up in the middle of the night.

Who knows if there's some kind of "yin-yang balance" principle involved, but it was definitely torture for Shen Qian.

On second thought, he realized that he hadn't practiced any special skills, so there seemed to be no need for him to deliberately avoid anything.

...The only problem is morality and ethics.

However, it seems that becoming a king or nobleman would solve this problem at the societal level.

"You're thinking about another woman."

While Shen Qian was lost in thought, Yuan You suddenly leaned over, rested her chin on his shoulder, and stared intently at him.

Being too smart is not a good thing for a woman.

Despite feeling a chill run down his spine, Shen Qian wasn't afraid and blurted out the idea he'd been brewing in his mind for days: "From now on, you can help me manage my finances."

"What?" Yuan You was indeed a little confused by the rapid change of topic and forgot what she was going to say.

“I will soon have a huge fortune, and by the end of the year this number may increase again. The real wealth is the wealth that is in circulation. I probably won’t be able to spend that much money all at once, so I need someone to manage it for me.”

After a moment's thought, he said, "I think you're very suitable."

Shen Qian's words were not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather the result of careful consideration.

As a senior scholar, Yuan You also holds multiple degrees, including a master's degree in finance and a doctoral degree in economics. In addition, she serves as an advisor to two groups, which is one of the reasons why scholars have high incomes.

In addition, given their relatively close and stable relationship, Yuan You is indeed very suitable to help Shen Qian manage his assets.

Shen Qian had been considering this matter for a long time, but the person Shen Qian originally thought of was Wan Ning from the Hundred Kings Palace.

Since Wan Ning is also highly educated and proficient in various disciplines, and with the contract of the Hundred Kings Palace in place, there is no need to worry about the other party betraying him or anything like that.

Before they could even meet Wan Ning, Yuan You appeared.

"Really?" Yuan You's eyes immediately lit up. "You want me to manage your money?"

After Shen Qian nodded again, Yuan You became excited and pounced on him again, much to Shen Qian's surprise.

"Holy crap..."

...

We planned to depart in the afternoon, but we didn't actually set off until the early morning of the following day.

After getting up, he did some more morning exercises. He recently discovered that "yin and yang harmony" seems to be quite effective, and his cultivation efficiency has improved.

He broke through four times this month alone.

After Yuan You finished washing up, Shen Qian called out to Dao Jiu, who was hiding high in the sky on guard. The three of them tidied up and went down the mountain.

After finding a safe campsite, they gathered all their entourage, and the two armored vehicles, one in front of the other, headed towards Jingcheng.

...

The armored vehicle pierced through the fog and entered the protective shield range of Jingcheng.

The weather suddenly brightened up, and all the accompanying personnel breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged glances, and smiled knowingly.

Each time they followed the slash-and-burn team out of the city, it was actually a very risky activity, and their mortality rate was far higher than that of the hunters.

This time, they were gone for two months, and everyone had actually written their wills in advance.

After all, the previous leader was very generous, offering each person a reward of 200,000 yuan, plus bonuses based on performance. If they couldn't return the money, it would be used as a resettlement allowance.

This time, however, there were no casualties. Apart from the accident involving Yuan You, the journey was smooth throughout.

This is simply unbelievable.

"You accepted a total of 127 bounty missions. Our completion rate is about 73%. The nighttime bounties are completed, 14 twilight bounties are completed, and then there are..."

"Stop, stop. You can handle these things yourself."

Shen Qian interrupted Yuan You, who was summarizing her thoughts, and then shouted to the driver, "Stop the car!"

"Where are you going?" Yuan You asked, startled.

"Of course I'm going home. I just checked my smart bracelet and there are almost a thousand messages from my mom. I have to go back and check them."

Shen Qian gestured for Dao Jiu to get out of the car, and said at the same time.

"Oh, aren't you going to the Martial Arts Association to hand in your mission?"

"You can handle these things yourself. Calculate your share for yourself, and then go home and check on things."

Yuan You's home was in Mingcheng, hence the saying before the sinking.

"When are you going to university?" Yuan You realized that this meant they were going to part ways, so she quickly asked, "I'll come to see you then."

"It will probably be a few days later. I need to go to Jiangzhong City in advance because I haven't bought the equipment for school yet."

Shen Qian didn't hide anything, and then asked curiously, "If you come to me, what about your studies?"

"I'll be a senior when school starts, I won't have that many classes. Besides, Jiangnan isn't far from Jiangzhong!"
