Wang Erlai was surprisingly straightforward, speaking without any hesitation.
It didn't matter much; he was just a woman who had looked down on him, someone I had slept with.
Was it really that simple?
Yes, it was that simple!
Seeing Wang Erlai's candid demeanor, Yu Songyu couldn't help but regard him with a bit more respect.
Only then did she notice that Wang Erlai had thick eyebrows and big eyes, exuding a sense of determination and even righteousness.
She thought to herself, how could a young man who looked so spirited be named Wang Erlai?
Are you saying you don't want to be looked down upon?
Yu Songyu had heard about Wang Erlai's situation, though not in great detail. She knew he had grown up in a humble household and was a person of hardship; if she could lend him a hand, she would be willing to do so.
Who would want to be underestimated?
Wang Erlai didn't answer directly but instead countered with a question.
How about you follow me from now on? I can't guarantee anything else, but at least I can ensure you won't have to worry about food and clothing!
Yu Songyu felt that Wang Erlai had decent character, and since she was about to collaborate with Yuan Ti to start a Supply and Marketing business, she indeed needed a reliable man to assist her.
Follow you?
That's right, follow me! Whatever I ask you to do, you'll do it. But don't worry; I won't make you do anything illegal or immoral. What do you think?
Ha!
Wang Erlai scoffed inwardly; had he really fallen so low as to take orders from a woman? Yet at this moment, aside from earning that meager sum, he seemed to have no better options available, and he felt quite unwilling about it. Moreover, the woman before him gave off a distinctly different vibe that he couldn't quite put into words, but he was willing to take a gamble and follow her this time.
Alright!
After pondering for a few seconds, Wang Erlai readily agreed.
Yu Songyu took out some money from her pocket and handed it to Wang Erlai.
This is your money; starting today, come find me every month for your settlement.
Wang Erlai was somewhat surprised; this girl was quite generous, pulling out a sum of money for him just like that. He knew that people working at the factory earned very little each month, so giving him this amount was truly significant. He couldn't believe it; it felt like a dream, an incredible dream at that.
"What do you need me to do?" he asked, cautious about accepting the money without clarity on the situation.
"I need you to do two things," she replied. "First, go to the nearby villages and help me collect some old items. If the money isn't enough, you can come to me, but you mustn't make a big deal out of it. Second, in your spare time, I want you to learn to read and do some accounting. You can spend a little money to learn from the accountant in the village; it's important that you pick it up quickly."
After Yu Songyu finished speaking, Wang Erlai was taken aback. This girl wanted him to study and was even giving him money for it?
Noticing his hesitation, Yu Songyu continued, "If you study hard, I will need your help with more important tasks later on, and your pay will increase based on your performance."
Wang Erlai took a deep breath but felt no doubt about what Yu Songyu had said. "Alright! I understand."
"Tomorrow morning, bring Uncle Bull Cart to my house and wait for me there; we’ll head to town together." With that, Yu Songyu turned and walked away without looking back.
Watching her leave, Wang Erlai felt a mix of emotions he couldn't quite articulate. But no matter what, he was relieved that he wouldn't have to spend his days idly anymore. He felt genuinely happy.
