"Why are you here?" Li Yangzhou cleared his throat and asked.
His voice was low, as if he was afraid of disturbing the person in front of him.
Su Wanti stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I couldn't sleep, so I came out to read a book." She answered softly.
Li Yangzhou's eyes reflected the soft light, "You can't sleep either... Are you suffering from insomnia?"
Su Wanti lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Su Enterprise came to the company today to discuss cooperation. I saw them in the lobby on the first floor..."
She tried her best to keep her tone calm, but the ending of her voice still trembled uncontrollably.
Before he could finish his words, Li Yangzhou already understood everything.
No wonder she couldn’t sleep tonight. It turned out that she saw her former “family”.
Even though she didn't show what kind of waves were stirring in her heart when she saw him, Li Yangzhou could guess a little.
"Have you met with them?" Li Yangzhou's voice softened considerably.
Su Wanti shook her head, a trace of disappointment flashing across her eyes.
"I thought I had adjusted my mentality after leaving the Su family, and I would face them calmly and calmly. But it wasn't until the moment I saw them that I realized I wasn't as strong as I thought. I couldn't face them at all."
"I was so embarrassed at the time. I hid in the corner of the coffee shop on the first floor, only daring to peek at them through the window. I waited until they went upstairs before I dared to go out. Later, I found that my hands and feet were cold and my face was frighteningly pale..."
Su Wanti said these words slowly and calmly, and chuckled at herself.
She raised her eyes to look at Li Yangzhou, and said with a shy tone, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry that I told you this and made you laugh."
"You've done very well." Li Yangzhou said in a gentle voice.
He sat down on the sofa and comforted Su Wanti.
"I won't laugh at you, I will praise you."
"In a short period of time, your life has changed drastically. Most people would find it difficult to accept such changes and would be mentally devastated. But you didn't become depressed or collapse. Instead, you immediately started looking for a job that suits you. For this reason alone, you did a great job."
"Everyone in City A knows that my recruitment standards are very high and the requirements are very demanding. The fact that you were able to stand out among several outstanding candidates and apply for the position of my life assistant is enough to prove your excellence."
"With your abilities, whether you are in the Su family or leave the Su family, no matter who you are, the daughter of the Su family or Su Wanti, you can make a name for yourself and live a good life."
Li Yangzhou is not a talkative person, nor is he someone who can say comforting words.
Tonight, facing this lonely girl, he said a lot.
Perhaps it was the experience of both being unable to sleep that brought them closer together.
Maybe it's because of the quiet of the night that people are more likely to open up...
Li Yangzhou just felt that at this moment, he should say something to make the girl happy.
"Thank you, Mr. Li." Su Wanti expressed her sincere gratitude, with a hint of suppressed crying in her voice.
I hope I won’t make her cry… Li Yangzhou muttered to himself.
It’s better not to continue talking about the Su family. If we go on in depth, she will really cry.
The words of comfort and encouragement he just gave were already the limit of his ability. If he made a girl cry, he would not comfort her.
Li Yangzhou immediately changed the subject, "By the way, it's so late, what book are you reading?"
"Gemology and Gem Identification." Su Wanti calmed down and whispered the title of the book.
"Hmm?" Li Yangzhou raised his eyebrows slightly.
He knew that Su Wanti was studying economics.
The Su family arranged a career plan for her to join the financial department of Su's Enterprise, be in charge of the company's financial work in the future, and eventually become the CFO of Su's Enterprise.
He thought she was reading books related to her major, or relaxing novels or magazines.
Unexpectedly, they were other professional books that had nothing to do with her past educational experience.
"Assistant Su, are you interested in jewelry and jade?" Li Yangzhou asked.
However, people who are interested in jewelry and jade usually prefer to look at polished and sparkling gems or well-designed jewelry, and it is rare to see people reading professional books.
Su Wanti smiled, her voice returning to its usual clarity. "Mr. Li, I believe there are few people who are not interested in jewelry and jade."
"However, my interest in jewellery and jade is not that of an admirer, but that of someone who wants to be their shaper."
Hearing this, Li Yangzhou asked directly, "Do you want to learn jewelry design?"
Li's Jewelry is one of the most profitable companies in the Li Group.
In the past two years, Li Yangzhou has also devoted a large part of his energy to the business of Li's Jewelry.
So he was very sensitive to the meaning of Su Wanti's words.
"It turns out Assistant Su wants to be a jewelry designer."
"This is my interest and the career I want to pursue in the future," Su Wanti said frankly.
Li Yangzhou leaned forward, his head slightly tilted towards Su Wanti, a gesture that showed his interest in Su Wanti's words.
"Assistant Su, with all due respect, learning this trade isn't easy. Well-known companies generally don't hire designers unless they're graduates from prestigious universities, or if they don't have overseas study experience. You didn't major in this field in college, which is already a huge disadvantage. And then there's the issue of overseas study experience..."
"Studying abroad is very expensive. You can't afford such high expenses with your current financial situation."
Every word Li Yangzhou said was the truth. He would not tell lies to Su Wanti and deceive her, making her have unrealistic dreams about the future, just because he felt that Su Wanti was lonely and pitiful.
That would make her waste her precious time now.
He is rational, realistic, calm, and always thinks about the rewards before doing anything. This is his consistent style.
There was a few seconds of silence.
Li Yangzhou was feeling a little regretful, thinking that he had spoken too hastily and should have said it later.
Then Su Wanti's voice was heard softly.
"I know. I looked it up before I started studying. What you said, Mr. Li, is correct. It's also the reality of this industry. But I like it, so I have to do it."
"I'm twenty-three this year, and it's the best time to do anything."
"If I don't do it now, I'll regret it when I'm 33. Why didn't I work hard to earn tuition when I was 23, study the major I like, and pursue a career I like?"
"When I'm forty-three, I'll still be regretting why I didn't do what I loved when I was twenty-three. Now at thirty-three, I only regret it, but don't take action, leaving myself with regrets for decades."
Su Wanti's eyes sparkled, and her tone was firm. "Mr. Li, I will save every penny for the tuition, and I will definitely attend this school."
This time it was Liyangzhou's turn to remain silent.
He was silent for a few seconds, then said calmly, "You can pursue your dreams, but don't let it affect the work at hand."
Su Wanti's attitude immediately straightened up. "Don't worry, Mr. Li. I read and study in my free time. It definitely won't affect my work."
