Seasoned drivers all know, Yang Hao simply placed his right hand on the gear shift subconsciously.
Although cars are getting smarter and no longer require frequent gear changes, some habits of the old drivers are hard to break.
So, when he glimpsed Wang Bingru’s small movement from the corner of his eye, he was first puzzled, then guessed her intentions.
“Bingru, you’re going to enroll at Jiangcheng University in September, aren’t you?”
Yang Hao struck up a conversation about something random.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Wang Bingru nodded her head, having decided that she still wanted to pursue her postgraduate studies; after all, educational qualifications were hers to keep, no matter what the future held.
“It’s good to study more, and if possible, even pursing a Ph.D. wouldn’t be bad!”
Although Yang Hao said this, he was thinking: Hmm, I haven’t had the experience with a Ph.D. yet.
Especially, would raising one from the start bring a sense of achievement??
“A Ph.D.?”
Wang Bingru never really thought about pursuing a doctorate, mainly because being around Yang Hao would truly crumble her determination to study hard.
You’d start to feel like hard work in academics isn’t particularly useful, especially since she already earns a good salary now, let alone the fact that Yang Hao transferred one million to her yesterday.
“I don’t have a Ph.D. around me yet!”
Yang Hao hinted with a meaningful tone.
“Oh, then I will study for a Ph.D.!”
Wang Bingru obediently nodded her head, seemingly just to satisfy Yang Hao’s small wish.
“I was just saying, it still depends on what you want!”
“Yang… your opinion is still very important.”
Wang Bingru originally intended to call him Mr. Yang, but after hesitating for a moment, she chose to call him Yang instead, given the private nature of their setting.
“Right, Yang.”
“About that one million from yesterday, it’s way more than I can use, my father’s condition isn’t that severe.”
Wang Bingru said softly.
“If you can’t use it all up, just save it for later!”
“The money has already been transferred, you certainly wouldn’t ask me to take it back?”
Yang Hao shrugged lightly.
“But…”
Wang Bingru was conflicted, but didn’t know how to voice her concerns; she knew that Mr. Yang regularly gave his sister an allowance, and it was always generous.
She wanted to say that she and her sister were different, not in that kind of relationship. This potential graduate student was also quite crafty, wanting to use this to test Yang Hao’s attitude, but she was at a loss for words.
In terms of maturity and guile, Wang Bingru, who was about to start her postgraduate studies, really fell short compared to Chen Ruohan, a sophomore called Little White Flower.
It had a lot to do with her innate personality and her upbringing. Although Wang Changsheng and Liu Zhaoxia weren’t wealthy, they created a warm and harmonious domestic environment for Wang Bingru.
Growing up in a healthy family environment and being well-protected meant that Wang Bingru wasn’t very scheming; before, she had devoted her energy to studying diligently, hoping to change her life and her parents’ lives through hard work.
Then Yang Hao appeared, gradually shattering her worldview and her perception of money!
“No need for buts! Just listen to me, and that’s the end of it!”
Yang Hao suddenly took on a domineering tone, while at the same time placing his hand on Bingru’s thigh, which she had intentionally shifted leftward.
Today, she wore a yellow floral dress, with the hem around her knees, but it had risen slightly when she sat down, revealing a section of her fair and smooth thighs.
At that moment, Yang Hao’s hand was on the exposed area.
This unexpected touch startled Wang Bingru; although she was mentally prepared, she was still extremely nervous, her body stiff and dare not move.
With a smile, Yang Hao gently patted her thigh: “The surprise from yesterday was you, wasn’t it?”
“Ah??”
Wang Bingru blinked her large eyes, looking at Yang Hao with considerable surprise.
No one knew about that incident except her and her sister Wang Xueru. On the way to the hospital, she even discussed it with her sister, who had mentioned finding another opportunity to give that surprise!
Now, Yang Hao, the person involved, somehow knew about it.
“I guessed.”
Seeing the puzzlement in Wang Bingru’s eyes, Yang Hao said with a chuckle.
“Oh.”
Wang Bingru shyly lowered her head, unsure of what to say.
“Did Xueru force you to do this, or did you volunteer?”
In fact, Yang Hao knew the answer. He asked deliberately because he wanted this timid and shy assistant to open up.
“Ah, no.”
“My sister didn’t force me.”
Hearing Yang Hao say this, the innocent assistant panicked, thinking that her boss was blaming her sister.
“So it was your own choice?”
The crafty old man’s eyes gleamed with a playful light.
“Yes!”
Wang Bingru hesitated slightly, then nodded firmly. She had thought long and hard about this matter.
Those so-called successful people always tell you: There are no shortcuts in life.
Yet the truth is, they are constantly finding shortcuts for themselves, while advising you to struggle along the beaten path.
So, if following the right “boss” could change your life, why not enjoy the perks!
After all, Wang Bingru was just an ordinary girl yearning for a better life!
Yang Hao didn’t say anything else, just silently enjoyed the smooth, resilient feeling in the palm of his hand.
The car entered the underground parking lot of Linjiang Garden.
Yang Hao owned more than a dozen houses in this community. Currently, he only occupied a few, with the rest remaining vacant.
He brought Wang Bingru to the eleventh floor of Building 9. The apartments Yang Hao owned in this neighborhood were all over 200 square meters. Compared to his other properties, these could only be considered ordinary, but for the average person, they were still luxurious dwellings.
“You can live in this house for now. There will be bigger ones in the future, and by then you can give this apartment to your parents,” said Yang Hao, gesturing towards the spacious living room.
If Wang Bingru ended up with him, she would likely be at an NPC level, so she wouldn’t lack money or houses. This apartment would just be a temporary abode.
However, for a girl like Wang Bingru, who came from an ordinary family, it might be a place she could never afford even after a lifetime of hard work.
Although her sister’s apartment was larger than this one, in the end, it belonged to her sister. She was only borrowing it, but now it was different. From Yang Hao’s intention, it seemed that this apartment was a direct gift to her.
And judging by Mr. Yang’s generous dealing with her sister, his words would definitely be honored, meaning that there really would be even bigger apartments given to her later!
Wang Bingru had imagined there would be many benefits to following Mr. Yang, but she did not expect them to come so quickly. Just yesterday he had transferred one million to her, and now he was giving her a more than 200-square meter luxury apartment.
“Yang…”
Suddenly, Wang Bingru hugged Yang Hao from behind, resting her head on his broad shoulders, at a loss for words again.
Yang Hao gently patted the back of her hand and said seriously, “I might be a bit fickle, but I never shortchange those willing to stand by me!”
Wang Bingru didn’t respond, but she knew that what Yang Hao said was true. Aside from not being able to give her a complete relationship, this Yang could provide her with everything else she desired!
She moved to face Yang Hao and puckered her lips awkwardly to kiss him…
However, without any experience, Wang Bingru had no idea what to do next. The crafty older man, Yang Hao, didn’t guide her but wanted to see how this inexperienced newcomer would handle the situation.
The result was they stood there awkwardly for almost a minute. Feeling like she was suffocating, the assistant Wang Bingru stepped back and, with a hand on her chest, began to breathe heavily.
Seeing this, Yang Hao couldn’t help but laugh, finding more pleasure in guiding a newbie than in exchanging tricks with a veteran.
“Yang, I’ll go back and study it thoroughly,” Wang Bingru said with a blush, whispering after catching her breath, “But for today, I’m not quite up to it…”
That morning she had discovered her period had started unexpectedly, so they couldn’t proceed with the main event.
Yang Hao naturally understood Wang Bingru’s meaning. He shrugged with a smile and, pointing at her reddened lips, he teasingly asked, “Would you like to learn something new?”
“Uh?”
“Sure!”
The eager-to-learn prospective graduate student nodded confusedly.
Yang Hao smiled and affectionately touched the assistant’s forehead, saying, “Then the subject we will study next is: ‘Software to Hardware Engineering and Hardware to Software Process’.”
“Both topics require a lot of practical experience, so you’ll need to practice diligently to find the optimal solution.”
“Let’s start with the first subject,” he continued.
“Now, open your mouth…”
