System: "Host, your Level 10 Noble Ruler has returned to the palace after reviewing the surveillance footage. Quickly receive him."
He Fan: "...Welcome Consort Kuan back to the palace."
System: "I've investigated thoroughly. Your useless human butler did indeed see you a long time ago. He wasn't lying, and..."
He Fan raised an eyebrow: "And what?"
The system expressed its disdain: "And what he said about his experiences is all true. He is indeed seriously ill and waiting for surgery."
He Fan said confidently, "I have a very good eye for people. Do you think I can't tell if someone is lying or not?"
The system scoffed: "Hmph, considering this person does have some ability, I'll let it slide. Next time you encounter a human who volunteers like this, make sure I'm back to vet them."
He Fan knew that the wealthy man was worried about him, so he readily agreed.
Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.
Wang Lanling has started her job.
At this moment, Wu You was watching him, Hao Lai, and Tian Tian sign the contract.
Wang Lanling and Hao Lai will live in a villa, and their monthly salary is 5 yuan, including room and board.
Tian Tian is a local resident, 29 years old this year, and already married with a family.
So he went home to stay at night, and his contract also included an extra 5000 yuan in housing and meal subsidies. This unexpected joy made Tian Tian happy for a long time, and he signed the contract faster than the two people next to him.
"Haolai and I will stay in the two rooms on the first floor closest to the side door, that will be more convenient."
Wang Lanling has already taken on the role of housekeeper.
Sister Fan lives on the second floor. Upstairs there are Assistant Wu and Miss Jiao Jiao, both women. It would be more suitable for the two men to live there.
When going out to the yard, you can go directly through the side gate. Try not to go through the living room on the first floor when you don't have to, so that the owner can have a more comfortable space.
Hao Lai had no objections whatsoever and would follow all arrangements.
The three of them signed the contract very quickly and officially started working, becoming He Fan's "close" employees.
"There are no scheduled activities tonight. Hao Lai and Tian Tian can go home and rest. Sister Fan said that you can arrange your own time when you have nothing to do."
Wu You made the arrangements.
Then he said to Wang Lanling, "Butler Wang, come with me. Sister Fan needs to speak with you."
Wang Lanling followed Wu You to the lobby on the first floor.
He Jiao sat obediently next to He Fan.
Upon seeing the person brought in, He Fan asked, "Butler Wang, you graduated from a 211 university, right?"
Wang Lanling nodded: "Yes, Sister Fan."
He Fan cut to the chase: "My sister is a senior in high school this year. Can you tutor her in English?"
Wang Lanling was taken aback. This wasn't within the scope of a housekeeper's job, but then she thought of the extremely high salary He Fan had offered him.
"I can do it!"
He Fan was secretly delighted.
System: ...... Look at you, so full of yourself. Tutoring only costs a little bit of money, why are you so happy about saving money on tutoring?
He Fan snorted: What do you know? I'm calling this creating value for him. With so few people in our family, the housekeeper is too idle. How can he feel at ease taking the money if he doesn't have something to do? I'm just saving on tutoring fees on the side.
System: Ha, I believe you.
He Fan continued, "Besides that, you're in charge of finding tutors for He Jiao's other subjects. Just arrange four academic classes a day."
Wang Lanling left after receiving her first task at her new post.
After everyone left, He Jiao, who had been listening nearby, moved closer to He Fan.
"Sis, it would be good to schedule a few more classes."
When He Jiao said these words, her face clearly showed that she had died a heroic death.
He Fan took her hand: "Aren't you tired?"
He Jiao nodded, then shook her head.
"Actually, I do feel resentful, but there are only six months left. If I don't give it my all in these six months, when will I ever get the chance?"
He Fan fiddled with He Jiao's neatly trimmed nails.
"No need. With me here, you'll always have a way out."
Amid He Jiao's astonished gaze, He Fan looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
"I plan to send you abroad to study. If you want to see what the limit is in the nine years of your youth, then you can study hard for half a year to take the college entrance examination; if you feel tired, then just do your best."
Exam-oriented education has ruined too many bright souls.
If she were still the same He Fan, she could only watch He Jiao walk the same path she had walked, fighting tooth and nail among millions of test takers.
But now that she has the ability, she can't bear to let He Jiao go through all that.
It was not only helping He Jiao, but also, more like, helping the past version of herself who had broken down countless times but had no one to support her.
He Fan snapped out of his daze and saw He Jiao shaking her head firmly in front of him.
"Sis, I'm going to give it my all."
"I know you feel sorry for me because I'm under a lot of pressure, but I have to become a capable person to help you."
"You've given me so much since I was little. If I only want to enjoy everything you've given me but can't share your burdens and hardships, wouldn't I be too heartless?"
This answer was unexpected for He Fan. She thought that He Jiao would be so happy to hear her words that she wouldn't have to worry about the college entrance examination that she would run around the room.
Unexpectedly, the little tagalong who used to always follow her around has grown up.
So sentimental? Are they crazy? This doesn't seem like their usual way of interacting at all.
He Fan patted her hand: "Little brat."
He Jiao was immediately displeased when she was called a little brat.
“Even a little kid is taller than you.”
Having said that, he went upstairs, looking incredibly irritating.
"The variety show has updated, I'm going to watch it! Goodbye!"
The system grumbled: Ha, with me here, what pressure do you have? You're not even as useful as a single hair of mine, and she's already sharing the burden.
He Fan found it amusing, but ultimately accepted the statement.
......
Time flies.
The next day, Wang Lanling found several reliable tutors.
He Jiao has recently entered a study mode, taking four academic classes every day, as well as a martial arts class and an unpredictable hobby class.
Meanwhile, the public relations teams of Kyushu Group and Lu Chuan were also engaged in a fierce battle on the internet.
Lu Chuan's studio issued a statement announcing that it has filed a lawsuit regarding the "violent beating at Jiuzhou Group".
The legal department of Jiuzhou Group announced that Lu Chuan had violated the industry's confidentiality agreement and that they would sue to regain ownership of the company and demand that Lu Chuan compensate investors and the group's directors for the economic losses he caused.
Today, Lu Chuan's studio asked marketing accounts to expose some insignificant dirt on He Fan.
Tomorrow, Jiuzhou Group's legal department will ask marketing accounts to post some old clown photos of Lu Chuan.
Just as the two sides were exchanging blows and engaging in a tense and exciting exchange, it was a truly lively and exciting moment.
A statement from Huaji Film & Television completely 'ignited' the trending topics.
Huaji Film & Television (v): The TV series "Ashes of the Moonlight," starring He Fan, Lu Chuan, Yu Jian, and Shen Xunan, will premiere on January 1.6th. Stay tuned!
