CHAPTER 339: CHAPTER 176: AWE [GREAT CHAPTER TICKETS]_4

Then she opened the car door, got out, moved to the back seat, and sat down next to Han Lie.

As Zhang Tian huffily got out and walked around to the driver’s side, Liang Wu was already gazing into Han Lie’s eyes as she began to speak.

"I want a job from you!"

"Oh?"

Han Lie was somewhat surprised. This girl is pretty bold, isn’t she?

Pay attention to the wording: *job*.

This was entirely different from what Wang Tianqing wanted, which was, "I want to roll with you."

"And your reasons?"

Brother Lie was interested, sizing her up.

She was a woman very skilled at using her advantages, possessing a captivating allure that wasn’t vulgar, maintaining a perfect sense of propriety. She perched on the front edge of her seat, her knees brushing against the back of the seat in front. Her upper body was twisted towards Han Lie, and she leaned slightly forward, perfectly showcasing the defining features of her pear-shaped physique.

There wasn’t a man alive who wouldn’t want to be her seat.

Yet, her expression was earnest, proper, and respectful. Her gaze was intense, yet it held no trace of seduction—only admiration.

"I’ve studied all your operations, pondering them every day, seeking advice, and catching up on my learning!"

Liang Wu’s first sentence genuinely pleased Han Lie.

Yes, this was her tactic, employing highly sophisticated communication skills. But so what? Those in positions of power are bound to encounter such things. Should he blacklist everyone who tries to curry favor? How ridiculous would that be? Just enjoy it with a clear conscience.

Han Lie smiled, and Liang Wu continued rapidly.

"My understanding of stock trading is very superficial. However, in the first week of your meteoric rise, I realized that this man is extraordinary. Otherwise, why wasn’t it someone else? With over eight hundred thousand contestants, it couldn’t possibly be just luck! If it truly was luck, then I’d be even more determined to befriend you.

"By the second week, when you won the championship again, I started seeking advice from everyone I could: teachers, classmates, elders with stock trading experience, even former suitors... I wanted to understand what it all meant. I wanted to know what level you were operating at. And I wanted to know what you could offer me!

"Time was too short. Even now, I still can’t grasp the true extent of your achievements. I can’t comprehend the wisdom hidden in your seemingly simple operations, nor can I understand the source of your confidence and boldness.

"But! I can understand the elders’ astonishment. I can understand the insecurity and jealousy behind the harsh criticism from suitors. I can understand the weight of the special privileges the university has granted you!

"I believe you are the answer I’ve been searching for! I know I’ll never be able to learn your way of thinking or your techniques; I don’t possess that kind of talent. That doesn’t matter. As long as I can follow you, there are still so many things I can learn.

"In ancient times, there was the merit of ’following the dragon’; in modern times, there are Ali’s Eighteen Arhats. Countless examples tell us to follow the right person. But who can I follow? The humanities faculty produces all sorts of ’rich second-generation’ individuals, yet in over two years, I haven’t seen a single true man willing to devote his energy and passion to serious endeavors! Yu Xueqin and Wang Xiaotian are already considered rare, clear-headed individuals. However, limited by their talents, it would be a stroke of luck if they showed even slight improvement after ten years.

"If I can’t find such a person on campus, who can I follow once I enter society? A successful middle-aged tycoon, or a programmer just starting his career? Reality is so cruel. I want to follow a dragon, but I’m not worthy of those already soaring in the heavens, and I can’t recognize the ones still in hibernation.

"It wasn’t until I saw you that I spent three weeks confirming it: this is the biggest opportunity of my life! I know you could find someone better and more outstanding than me at any time. But I have two advantages that outsiders cannot possess—

"First, we’re alumni. We have a natural connection and a foundation of trust! You can easily find out everything about me from the past two years: my character, how I handle matters, my emotional stability, my abilities... Then you will discover that this is a trustworthy aide!

"Second, I am still a blank slate. My abilities are admittedly not strong enough yet; I can’t compare with experienced external hires. But precisely because of this, I can be molded in any way you wish! The salary I ask for is very low—just enough for food and gas. Yet, I can handle an extremely high workload. I may eat grass, but I’ll produce milk. I have strong initiative, a good command of English, some analytical ability, and I’m skilled at communication. I am an exceptionally valuable employee, and you can shape me into any form you desire!

"Playing the field in the campus Literature and Arts Department might be interesting, but please believe me, investing in me will be far more rewarding!

"I’ve finished. Is there anything else you’d like to ask? I will tell you everything I know and hold nothing back."

Zhang Tian sat in the driver’s seat, gripping the steering wheel tightly. She still hadn’t started the engine or pressed the accelerator. She was utterly dumbfounded, completely stunned.

Meanwhile, Han Lie gazed downwards, his eyelids slightly lowered, as he idly caressed his watch. He appeared calm, but inwardly, he too was inexplicably shaken.

This woman... damn, she’s impressive!

Han Lie had a profound feeling—he might have just found a treasure! True, without him giving her a chance, she could only struggle in this world. Who knows when, or if, she might rise, or perhaps be completely buried by obscurity. But why not give her a chance?! If others won’t, I will! Even if it’s just to see what she’s truly capable of, the investment of money, effort, and time would be worth it.

"Very well. From now on, you’re my personal assistant," Han Lie said, looking up at her and then handing over his phone. "Find Liu Minghao’s contact information. Report to him tomorrow, then follow him to handle the necessary procedures. Report back to me daily."

Liang Wu was overjoyed, accepting Han Lie’s phone as if it were a precious treasure.

Brother Lie smiled, leaned back in his seat, and closed his eyes.

"This is your first position. I’ll be waiting to see your performance."

Liang Wu pursed her lips and responded succinctly, "Yes!"

Without any superfluous declarations of determination, she immediately tapped the back of the driver’s seat and gently instructed her good friend, "Tian Tian, drive now. Go slowly and steadily."

Zhang Tian finally closed her mouth, which had been agape until that moment. She rolled her eyes dramatically but still obediently started the car and drove off smoothly.

Her friend’s passionate speech had surprised her. However, Han Lie, who had remained as calm as a still lake throughout the entire exchange, instilled in her a genuine and profound sense of awe.
