The daily life of a crazy female supporting character trying to redeem herself.

To be honest, Gu Wei really does fit his aesthetic preferences.

At first, they were from different social classes. He thought she was an innocent college student and didn't want to get involved, fearing that a young girl would fall in love with him.

Later, they collaborated. She was his business partner, and he was even less inclined to get involved. He disliked mixing emotions into work because it would be too complicated to handle.

But now they have decided to "break up," which means the end of their collaboration.

Although Yan Su said that Gu Wei seemed to have had some kind of relationship with the old man, he didn't care about the old man, and therefore he didn't care about the woman he had a relationship with.

Gu Wei was certainly not an innocent young girl, but he was not an innocent young man either.

He doesn't have any emotional fastidiousness; as long as both parties are willing and want to part amicably, there's no problem.

Yan Yu looked into Gu Wei's captivating eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing. "Yes."

As he finished speaking, he was about to kiss her, but Gu Wei pushed him back with her hand, and his lips only touched her palm.

Gu Wei smiled smugly, a hint of triumph in her eyes, "Alright, thank you for your cooperation, Second Young Master Yan."

Yan Yu saw through her trick but wasn't angry. He helplessly took a step back and said, "You really amused me."

Gu Wei stood up, helped him button up his clothes, patted out the wrinkles, and smiled, "Go back now. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

……

Yan Yu thought of the confident Gu Wei, the quiet Gu Wei, the cunning Gu Wei, and then looked at the vulnerable Gu Wei in front of him.

For a moment, it was impossible to tell what she was really like.

Perhaps people really do have many facets.

He sat quietly for a while, then took a towel and wiped away the sweat that had seeped out of her.

Gu Wei frowned, opened her eyes and looked at him. Her eyes were wet and filled with tears, which were flowing from the pain.

Yan Yu stopped what he was doing and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Gu Wei didn't answer, but asked instead, "Aren't you going back?"

Yan Yu said frankly, "I need to talk to you about something, but with you like this, we can't discuss it."

Gu Wei forced a smile and said in a low voice, "I know, that's why I asked you why you didn't leave?"

Yan Yu tightened her grip on the towel, "I'm worried about you like this."

Gu Wei turned to the side and looked at him quietly, as if trying to see through his appearance into his heart.

"Is it for the shares held by Liang Mu?" Gu Wei suddenly asked.

Yan Yu paused for a moment, then nodded. "I don't deny that I need it."

Gu Wei sat up in bed. She seemed much better and said calmly, "I have conditions."

"You tell me, but Yan Su won't do it."

Gu Wei replied instantly, "Why can't he?"

Yan Yu felt a little uneasy when she heard her reply immediately. Could it be that she really liked Yan Su?

If it had been Yan Su that day, would she not have refused?

But these questions only lingered in his mind for a moment. The most important issue was to prevent Gu Wei from making any moves on Yan Su.

"He..." Yan Yu hesitated whether to tell her about the trauma Yan Su had suffered.

In the end, he still chose to keep that matter a secret, only telling Gu Wei, "Because of my parents, he hates dissolute people. Don't mind him. The way he treated you before wasn't directed at you."

Gu Wei was unexpectedly silent for a while after hearing this. Yan Yu thought she was angry because of the word "debauchery" and planned to say a few words to make up for it. "This debauchery is not in the literal sense. It's just that Yan Su mistakenly thought you were debauched."

“Actually, he’s right to think that way,” Gu Wei chuckled. “I knew people would say that about me when I was doing these things. Strictly speaking, he’s not wrong.”

Yan Yu had always known that she had a good attitude, so she wasn't surprised to hear her say that now. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief and got to the point, "So what are your conditions?"

"My hometown is Snow Town, have you heard of it?"

Yan Yu thought for a moment, then asked her uncertainly, "Is it the snow town near the border of S country?"

“Yes.” Gu Wei nodded. “It snows heavily there every year, and the mountains are steep, so avalanches happen almost every year.”

“I know that,” Yan Yu thought she wanted him to find a solution to the situation, “but this is a natural disaster, I’m afraid I can’t…”

Gu Wei interrupted him directly, "I know that natural disasters cannot be prevented by human effort."

"I want you to help them escape poverty."

She continued sadly, "There is no industry to support the area, so the people living there are very poor. The men all go out to work, and the women stay at home and can only do some handicrafts. There is only one primary school in the town. Except for children from better-off families who can go to junior high school in other places, most families can't even afford to pay for their children's travel expenses to go to junior high school in the next town."

Yan Yu listened with a solemn expression, unable to speak for a long time. He had heard of Xuezhen, which was particularly prone to natural disasters and was not near the sea, so even fishing could not be developed.

Building railways to develop the transportation industry was fraught with difficulties due to the steep terrain.

If it were anyone else, Yan Yu would definitely agree first, tricking them into giving her what she needed, and then worry about whether she could actually get what she wanted later.

But now, facing the vulnerable Gu Wei in front of him, he simply couldn't bring himself to deceive her.

She wasn't like the other businessmen he usually encountered, who were only after profit, nor was she the socially adept Gu Wei.

She is just a helpless 21-year-old girl, so fragile that it seems a gust of wind could blow her away.

Moreover, if he deceives her, he will not only deceive her, but also everyone in Snowtown.

What's more terrifying than having no hope at all is giving hope and then taking it away.

Yan Yu is indeed a profit-driven businessman, and he has always adhered to the principle of "only putting his feelings on his own people" to get to where he is today.

But now, facing Gu Wei and her conditions, he realized that he still had a sliver of conscience left.

So he honestly told her, "Gu Wei, I believe you know better than anyone the difficulties your hometown faces in developing its industries. I can't guarantee that I can help your hometown escape poverty."

Upon hearing this, Gu Wei helplessly covered her face, her hair falling loosely over her shoulders.

Yan Yu stood up and took her hand in his. This was the first time he had shaken hands with her. His hand was warm, but her hand was cold.

Gu Wei looked up at him. He sat on the edge of her bed and solemnly promised her, "But if you help me get Liang Mu's shares, I promise you that for the rest of my life, I will do everything in my power to help your hometown get out of poverty."

Gu Wei saw a serious look on his usually carefree face for the first time, and couldn't help but squeeze his hand back, "Are you serious?"

Yan Yu placed her other hand on their clasped hands and gripped them even tighter. "I'm serious. No matter the outcome, I will do it."

Gu Wei felt the warmth from his hand, and nodded with tears in her eyes, "Okay, I believe you."
