"I……"

This question made Gu Caiwei hesitate, because she realized that she had not thought about it. It was her mother who had been planning her future.

Maybe even Lin Yi thinks more than himself.

This made her feel a little frustrated and wanted to hear Peng Yuchen's explanation.

"I originally planned to study abroad, but because of Lin Yi, I decided to stay and further my studies in China."

Peng Yuchen remained calm, but in his mind he raised his assessment of their relationship.

"Then what do you plan to study after entering college, and what kind of job do you plan to do after graduation?"

"Actually, I don't have a very specific idea."

Peng Yuchen laughed, as expected.

"In that case, Xiao Gu, you might as well listen to my opinion. If there is anything wrong, you can point it out at any time."

"Last time I heard you say that your school's admission rate to key universities is very high, which shows that you are all very good children."

"But if I remember correctly, according to the latest survey data, even the most talented graduates of T University and P University still have an average monthly salary of less than 10,000 yuan."

"When they took the college entrance examination, they should be in the top few thousandths or even the top ten thousandths, not counting their peers who were eliminated before the college entrance examination."

"This is already the highest level, and other key universities have to wait for it."

"But, do you know? There is no need to compare with those kings and queens. The income of a little-known 18th-tier star in the entertainment industry is far, far, far more than this amount."

"Xiao Gu, please trust my professional vision. This is not difficult for you to do."

Zhang Jiaqi frowned. This sentence sounded very much like "the theory that reading is useless", which made her very disgusted and couldn't help but retort:

"The value of a person is not measured by money."

"Yes, I totally agree."

Peng Yuchen followed her words: "But our society has commercialized and monetized some things, while other parts have remained in place."

"If there is a deviation between people's social evaluation and economic distribution, then there must be something wrong somewhere."

The reasons are very complicated. Peng Yuchen has no intention of worrying about the country and the people here with them.

"What I want to say is that in an environment of commodification and monetization, we have no more objective standard to measure and reflect the value of everything except money."

"Including, human value."

Gu Caiwei was indifferent: "You mean, I can make a lot of money?"

"It's not just that."

Peng Yuchen noticed her disinterest: "I know that for a girl like you, survival or life is not a problem."

She thought about it and realized that the best effect before was to tell true and emotional stories, so she decided to sacrifice herself again.

"Do you know why I haven't gotten married?"

This question came a bit suddenly, and neither of them knew how to answer it. Zhang Jiaqi's eyes swept across her fingers, and indeed there was not even a ring mark.

"Actually, when I was young, I was very envious and even a little jealous of beautiful girls like you."

Zhang Jiaqi does not belittle herself. She dares to turn around when she hears someone call her "beauty" on the street, but it always feels a bit strange to be juxtaposed with Gu Caiwei.

"As long as you smile casually, wave your hands, and turn around in a nice skirt, you will be regarded as a boy's youth."

"And for an ordinary-looking girl like me, no matter how much effort I put in, the most I will get is the appreciation rather than the admiration from boys."

"Please, who cares about your appreciation?"

These words made both girls laugh and feel a little embarrassed.

"Because no man has shown any attentiveness to me, I have understood this truth very early, that is, they are unreliable."

"Let's talk about my parents. You may have heard just now that they are very traditional people. They can be called feudal."

"They believe that a woman's greatest social value is her family contribution, and they urged me to go to school just so that I could marry a better man."

"But I don't agree."

"It's not like I haven't tried it, but after all, I've gone through a series of clichéd stories that don't need to be detailed, and I'm still alone now."

"I'm not hostile to men, and we work together very smoothly."

"I don't resist my family, but at this age, they have given up on imposing their own ideas on me."

"Actually, what I want to tell you is very simple."

"That is, the mountains will fall if you rely on them, and you can run away if you rely on everyone. You can only rely on yourself for everything."

"Why did I quit my decent job at this age and choose to start a business from scratch?"

"Because only career has given me an unprecedented sense of accomplishment and security, which no one else can give me."

These words touched Zhang Jiaqi's heart, and she agreed: "Yes, the economic base determines the superstructure, and women must have their own careers."

Peng Yuchen had been observing Gu Caiwei's reaction and found that her reaction was mediocre and she did not like this "independent woman" persona.

It seems that she is a very secure person.

What a lucky man.

Peng Yuchen also had a backup plan: "Xiao Gu, I can see that you are well protected. Even if you don't do anything, you won't worry that no one will love you."

"But I think you should also have someone you want to protect, right?"

People who want to protect...

These words made Gu Caiwei slightly moved.

Peng Yuchen was determined: "I just said that my career brings me a sense of security, not only for myself, but also for the people I care about."

"Xiao Gu, what I am pointing out to you now should be the most glorious future that you can touch with your own talents."

"I don't want to assume how much misfortune will befall you, but we never know what tricks life will play on us."

"If one day in the future, the person you care about encounters a challenge in life and can only resist the injustice of fate alone."

"You are distraught, but there is nothing you can do to help."

"At that time, will you regret that you had the opportunity to become more powerful, but you chose to just become an ordinary person?"

"Being ordinary is not a sin."

"But we must also admit that accepting ordinary means accepting that we will always be powerless and helpless."

"Maybe you don't long for that glory, and maybe the people who love you don't have that expectation for you."

"But I don't know if you are really ready to hide behind others for the rest of your life and enjoy the protection of others with peace of mind for the rest of your life?"

Someone else's...behind?

Gu Caiwei remembered that from the time when Qi Yiming was a freshman in high school, to Li Yang, to Fang Yi, to Qian Jiahao, to Shangguan Yingzi...

I seem to be very used to it, Lin Yi will stand in front of me every time.

That back view is so reassuring.

She had no doubt that Lin Yi would continue to protect herself in the future.

but……

"No."
