"Ah, ah! Ah?"
Chen Luo exclaimed "Ah!" three times in a row. The first was an instinctive response, the second was shock, and the third was disbelief.
"No, Wen Wan, she's just a little girl, you can't possibly do *that* to her, can you?"
Honestly, Chen Luo really didn't know what Wen Wan might do to her perceived "love rival."
"Hahaha." Wen Wan laughed upon hearing this, a hearty laugh.
The laughter stunned Mo Lan, who was guarding outside the door, and then she felt a lump in her throat.
Ten years have passed. Since Premier Wen returned from that hellish place, he has never smiled so happily. It's not easy, it's been incredibly difficult.
I was right, Chen Luo, you are the only cure for President Wen.
You must stay by President Wen's side from now on and make her laugh like that a few more times. Maybe everything will be alright.
Inside the office, Wen Wan stood up from Chen Luo's embrace, walked to the desk, and gestured to Chen Luo.
"Come here, Chen Luo, I have something to tell you."
Chen Luo sat down opposite Wen Wan somewhat blankly. Wen Wan was wearing her black-rimmed glasses, and her gaze towards him was full of authority and calmness, which made Chen Luo feel a little uncomfortable.
He always saw Wen Wan with fluctuating emotions; sometimes she was willful and easily angered, and sometimes she was very clingy.
Perhaps this is how she usually looks. However, this gentleness is also full of another kind of beauty, like an azalea on a cliff, out of reach, yet irresistibly tempting one to pick it.
"Chen Luo, I'll answer your question now."
"The reason we chose you to be the class monitor and also the secretary of the Youth League branch is actually because we considered your desire to start your own business."
"After all, you can't do a good job of starting a business alone. You need a team. To build a team, you definitely need a wider social circle and to cultivate your own network of relationships. You also need to select and retain talent. And in this aspect, at least your current personality and state still need to be tempered."
After hearing Wen Wan's words, Chen Luo felt no resistance. On the contrary, he felt that Wen Wan was able to see his shortcomings at a glance, and once again marveled at Wen Wan's excellent judgment.
As the saying goes, "family members know their own business." Despite his business experience from his previous life and his modest success, Chen Luo's weakness has always been his external business communication and network of relationships.
The company's external affairs have always been handled by another partner, but this has greatly limited Chen Luo's business potential. A person who cannot cultivate their own network will find it difficult to gather enough resources to tackle key projects and critical junctures.
In his previous life, Chen Luo had also tried to address this shortcoming, but due to his advanced age and limited time, the overall results were minimal. Now, reborn as a student, he has ample time to make up for this deficiency.
"Thank you, Wenwan, thank you for thinking of me so thoughtfully."
“Wait, I haven’t finished speaking yet.” Wen Wan interrupted Chen Luo’s thanks: “You said you didn’t want to rely too much on my resources and money, and it’s good that you have that ambition.”
"But as a novice planning to start a business, you still lack a lot in today's market."
Chen Luo nodded. It wasn't that he felt ashamed of himself, but rather that in his previous life, he had built a company by taking advantage of the short video e-commerce trend. At that time, he didn't have many plans; he just devoted himself to it wholeheartedly.
When the wind is strong, even a pig can fly. But once the wind is gone and the tide recedes, you can see who's been swimming naked.
It seems I was too naive. I still have a lot to learn and improve. I can't start a business with the mindset that being reborn means I'm invincible. Otherwise, even if the opportunity is right in front of me, I won't be able to succeed.
Seeing Chen Luo's silence, Wen Wan gently grasped the back of his hand, her voice softening.
"I'm not saying you're bad, and you shouldn't feel ashamed. I'm just stating the facts. Please don't take it to heart."
Wen Wan seemed to be bad at explaining or relieving other people's troubles. Her words sounded a bit clumsy, and she was obviously worried that her words would make Chen Luo unhappy.
"Pat, pat." Chen Luo gently patted Wen Wan's hand and smiled at her.
"Don't worry, I'm not unhappy. I'm just thinking about how I can learn more to make up for my shortcomings."
In fact, Chen Luo felt very warm inside. Wen Wan was able to consider this issue for him and give him these words of advice in time before he even started his business, which showed that she really took him seriously and genuinely cared about everything concerning him.
Unlike some women who only know how to take and demand without limit, only caring about their own likes and dislikes. (I'm talking to you, Tang Xiwei!)
Wen Wan felt relieved after hearing this and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Phew! You don't need to worry about that."
"I can't bear the thought of my child having to struggle and crawl around while learning these things."
"Therefore, I have decided that for every project you undertake from now on, I will act as your advisor, helping you and teaching you these things, but I will absolutely not interfere with any of your decisions."
"So? Do you still think you're living off a woman?"
The last sentence, spoken softly, was still in a tentative tone, as if she was somewhat worried that Chen Luo would refuse.
Chen Luo's eyes lit up when he heard this; it was indeed the best solution.
Although he didn't know Wen Wan's true origins, based on his knowledge, he could determine that Wen Wan came from at least a large, business-oriented family.
The family education and heritage of this kind of family are unmatched by ordinary big businessmen. Coupled with Wen Wan's own excellent abilities and vision, she is indeed the best teacher for a half-baked businessman like myself.
No, it should be said that Wen Wan is practically a human cheat code for me.
"Okay, Teacher Wen, please continue to guide me in the future."
Upon hearing this, Wen Wan slowly took off her glasses and gently hooked her left hand in Chen Luo's palm.
"This tuition is very expensive. How do you plan to pay for it?"
The familiar gentleness was back. Chen Luo lowered his head and chuckled softly, "Haha, see what you want, I'll give it to you."
When Chen Luo looked down, he saw some forms on the table, all of which were data analyses about the education industry.
Is Wen Wan planning to enter the education industry? If I remember correctly, the end of this year seems to be a booming period for the education industry.
Yes! We should tell Wen Wan about this as soon as possible; it might help her advance to the next level.
Chen Luo looked up, about to speak, when he noticed that Wen Wan had stood up and reached for her bag.
"Let's go see your childhood sweetheart."
Seeing Chen Luo's somewhat surprised expression, Wen Wan covered her mouth and chuckled, then reached out and lifted Chen Luo's chin.
"Hehe, you don't think I was just joking, do you? I wouldn't trust any girl who gets close to you."
