Chapter 491: Chapter 491 Signing_1

The driver was still waiting outside, showing great respect when he saw the two of them come out. His expression seemed to indicate success, and Kang Yue felt that such matters were actually quite simple.

Had they not just secured a contract with a young girl like this? What followed should not be any more difficult. After all, having one agreement in place, the rest would come easily. Getting into the car, she stretched with exhaustion, unsure of their next destination. The driver thought for a moment but could not think of any other particularly stunning women.

Shen Dong sat in his seat, feeling somewhat distracted for some reason. He knew he couldn’t go on like this and felt the need to go back and say a few more words. Although he had been suppressing this emotion, the more he did so, the more he wanted to return. Finally, he decided to put the contract aside, opened the car door, and continued towards that direction.

Kang Yue was startled by this move, "Where are you going? Haven’t we already signed the contract? What more is there to do?" she asked.

"There’s something I haven’t confirmed. You all wait in the car for me. I’ll be right back. Don’t get out of the car. I have something private to discuss with Su Yun. I think she has the potential," he explained.

After saying this, he left without looking back. Kang Yue wanted to get out of the car but then reconsidered. It was better not to intervene, she thought; he always had his own way of doing things, and she couldn’t overstep her bounds. There were things she knew well that she could and couldn’t do.

Having been in this place for so long, if she hadn’t understood this principle, there was no point in staying. The driver sat in the front, feeling the air pressure in the space drop even further.

He considered starting a conversation but decided against it after seeing the expression on the face of the beautiful woman in the back seat. Shrinking his presence seemed more prudent.

Shen Dong got out of the car and went directly to where he had just been. The door was firmly closed, but he could faintly sense the immense sorrow inside. After a moment’s hesitation, he decided to knock on the door.

Su Yun was inside, lost in distressing thoughts when suddenly there was a knock at the door. Irritated by the constant interruptions, she couldn’t help but go to open it, thinking it might be another opportunity.

Upon opening, she saw the man who had just left, a good-looking man indeed, but she was in no mood to appreciate such things now, exposing her disheveled state.

Desperately wiping away the traces on her face, Su Yun said sharply, "Mr. Shen, have you left something behind?" She spoke with little courtesies, not softening her tone even for her future boss.

"No, I just wanted to say one last thing to Miss Su. I think you especially need to hear this. No matter where you are in life, you must have the courage to start anew. Like your current situation, you’re young and have limitless potential. Why can’t you fight for yourself once more?

Think of the contract in your hands not as your servitude, but as a job. If you perform well, you could rise higher and improve your position. With that money, you could do many things; you could invest. Perhaps you’re a natural at it, and one day you could leave this place on your own merit, not relying on anyone else.

Depending on others always brings some influence, but relying on yourself is far more satisfying. This is my final advice to you, Miss Su. I’m saying these extra words to you because I see your youth and potential. If it were anybody else, I wouldn’t bother saying more," he continued.

Shen Dong didn’t understand why he hadn’t been this considerate before. Ever since being in the car, his mind had been on Su Yun, thinking he should persuade her to adopt a better mindset, that she should carve her own path. Probably, the sight of Su Yun’s swollen eyes when he first opened the door had moved him.

He felt that such a beautiful girl should not be buried in obscurity, and he was willing to come back and encourage her to return to her studies. Whether she would take his words to heart was up to her. He had said all he meant to, offering this woman a chance. If she performed well, perhaps she could even manage some of his business someday.

But he still had to see if she had the ability. No matter how kind he was, he wasn’t a philanthropist; ultimately, he needed to make money, and decision-making had to be profit-oriented.

"I know why you came back. It’s because I’m still fairly pretty, isn’t it? If I weren’t, nobody would give me a second glance. Even my boyfriend was like that, coveted me because my looks were an asset, willing to overlook my slum origins to marry me. But he couldn’t have anticipated this. Thank you for coming back to tell me this, but I’ve already figured it out," she said.

After speaking, she lowered her head, contemplating the path ahead.

Shen Dong took a card from his wallet and placed it in her hand.

"There’s ten thousand yuan in this card, which should cover your brother’s medical expenses for now. Consider it my sponsorship. But we’ve already signed our contract, and you’ll have to generate much more profit for me, so I don’t lose out. Can you do this?" he asked earnestly, unwilling to let the girl fall into despair. With this money and the contract, he knew she would quickly pull herself together, and that would mark the start of his prosperous future.

Shen Dong prided himself on his ability to judge people. Seeing this woman, he felt a certain conviction that she would not remain a mere ripple in the pond, though she needed to endure hardship.

Su Yun was shocked. This man was willing to give her such a significant sum, a whole ten thousand! If she took the money and ran, he would suffer a huge loss. Who could be so foolish to trust a woman he’d only met once?

The sorrow diminished a tad with the ten thousand yuan. It would greatly alleviate the financial burdens her struggling family faced, sparing them the extremes of selling organs or blood to save her brother. Heaven had given her another chance, Su Yun thought, hardly believing it, yet that was always how reality turned out.
