Chapter 152

As Wuchen left, Shen Youlin immediately reverted to his true self, burying himself in Yu Shu's embrace, and whining, "Did you hear that, my wife? If you don't want me, I'll be miserable. I might be paralyzed, and even this handsome little face you love so much will be disfigured. Whine whine whine... You can't not want me!"

Yu Shu hugged him, patting his shoulder absent-mindedly to comfort him, "It's okay, it's okay. You're so considerate and obedient, how could I not want you?"

"Whine whine whine... You're just brushing me off."

"I'm thinking about something. It seems Wuchen Taoist Priest has two brushes, what's her connection to your family?"

Shen Youlin pursed his lips, not too pleased, "She's known my grandmother since they were young, but I'm not clear on the details. I've heard that when our family first became prominent, she gave us guidance, and we've been supporting her ever since."

For this Luxia Mountain, the Shen family spends several billion each year to lease it for Wuchen Taoist Priest's use. Compared to the cost of leasing the mountain, the expenses of building the Taoist temple and its daily operations are negligible.

Yu Shu nodded, "So now I'm officially a lucky koi, and my luck turned around when I won the lottery. Even now, I still can't figure out why I spent two thousand on lottery tickets back then. It's unfathomable, and the reason probably lies with that convenience store owner."

"Should I ask Passerby A to investigate and find out who this mystic person is?"

"Yeah, but tell him to be polite."

"Don't worry."

After the phone call, Shen Youlin snuggled up to her again and started pitching, "Passerby A is super useful, an essential tool for home and travel. Don't look for an assistant, just let me give him to you!"

The matter of Yu Shu finding an assistant had been postponed repeatedly. Whenever something came up, she would trouble Passerby A to take care of it. There was no escaping Shen Youlin's vigilance, so if she were to officially take Passerby A under her wing, it would be like bringing a spy into her home.Findd new stories at novelhall.com

Yu Shu patted his cheek, "But then you'd have to find someone new on your side, how troublesome. Come on, we have to keep some secrets between us."

"Hmph, you mean woman. Are you planning to go around flirting and let your assistant cover for you?"

Yu Shu laughed out loud, "I'm not even married yet, and you're already acting like a jealous wife?"

Shen Youlin pouted discontentedly, "It's precisely because I have no status that I'm resentful."

"Why do you hate marriage so much?" Yu Shu pinched his cheek.

"Alright, alright, you're getting chattier and chattier. Off you go."

Yu Shu and Shen Youlin bid farewell to her, and Shen Youfei stood at the end of the stone path, smiling as she watched them leave.

After they were out of sight, Shen Youfei turned and walked back to her small courtyard. Despite the sweltering summer, as she stood at the gate of her courtyard, she suddenly felt a chill, a sense of loneliness and desolation.

Yu Shu and Shen Youlin returned to Rong City first, and the matter of Yu Shu finding an assistant was back on the agenda. After three rounds of interviews by the HR department, five candidates were shortlisted for Yu Shu's selection.

Yu Shu arrived at the company, and the employees greeted her just like before, without the prior frenzy. Yu Shu raised an eyebrow, it seemed the company regulations, which had expanded from a single page to an entire book, were somewhat useful - even though most of the content was still related to her as the boss.

Yu Shu returned to her office, where the profiles of the five assistant candidates were already on her desk. As she flipped through them casually, she noticed a familiar name - her fitness instructor, Zheng Xinming, also known as Mr. Muscle.

The HR manager knocked on the door and entered, "Boss, the five assistant candidates are all here. Would you like to meet them now?"

"Yes, let Zheng Xinming come in first."

Mr. Muscle came in wearing a proper suit, groomed impeccably, and strode in with a confident gait. He greeted Yu Shu with a formal bow, "Hello, Boss. I'm Zheng Xinming."

If Yu Shu didn't know him, she might have been fooled by his put-on demeanor.

"Cut the straight man act, I know you too well." Yu Shu took a sip of coffee. "Not a fitness instructor anymore, running here to apply for a job?"

Hearing her words, Mr. Muscle dropped the act, twirling his finger in a feminine gesture, "Well, the pay here is good. I'm just working for money."

"I'm not short on money," Yu Shu smiled, but after looking through Mr. Muscle's profile, she had already made up her mind.

For Zheng Xinming to have made it to the final round of interviews, he must have some skills. Usually, he kept a low profile, but it turned out he was a graduate from a prestigious university. Afterwards, he worked all sorts of odd jobs, honing a diverse set of skills ranging from cooking to boxing - a true jack-of-all-trades.

Zheng Xinming said, "Who doesn't like more money? I'll save wherever I can."

"Those are words straight from my heart. Alright, you're hired."

"Woohoo!" Zheng Xinming jumped up and down in elation.
