Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again

In the evening, on the campus road of the Finance School.

Liuu Wanyin was in an excellent mood.

The digital store’s holidays align with the campus schedule, so she can soon go home.

On the eve of the holiday, in addition to everyone’s salaries and commissions, employees were given an extra bonus of two hundred yuan, to everyone’s delight.

After becoming the store manager, she realized that this position truly pays well, twice that of a regular employee, and it’s tied to business performance. Due to this month’s salary including the New Year’s promotion, she actually earned over two thousand yuan!

Actually, Liuu Wanyin already knew her salary because she was the one managing the accounts.

Yet, when she received the thick envelope, she couldn’t help but smile broadly.

She placed the money in her canvas school bag and, within the short one hundred meters of leaving the digital store, she checked it multiple times, afraid of losing it.

The money I earned at New Era is enough to cover my younger siblings’ tuition and the family’s living expenses. In the future, we’ll gradually have some savings, and we will live a good life!

Tomorrow I’ll go to the city to buy new clothes for Grandma, Dad, my little brother, and sister. Aside from the train ticket, I’ll keep a little for travel expenses, and deposit the rest into Dad’s account for safety, in case of pickpockets on the way home.

Just as Liuu Wanyin was planning how to allocate her newly received salary.

"Swoosh!"

A black car suddenly stopped beside her, and it was the Santana from the Finance School store.

The window rolled down, revealing a mischievous smile: "Xiaoliu, hop in, let me give you a ride!"

"Ah, no need to bother, boss, the girls’ dorm isn’t far!"

Liuu Wanyin quickly waved him off.

"Come on, don’t forget you’re carrying a ’fortune’ of over two thousand bucks!"

Su Zelin said half-jokingly.

"Boss, you’re kidding!"

Xiaoliu felt a bit embarrassed.

The university campus is quite safe; no one would dare to rob openly here. Besides, no one else knows I’ve got two thousand bucks in my bag apart from Su Zelin.

"Hurry up, don’t dawdle, I have something to discuss with you!"

Without giving her a chance to refuse, Mischievous opened the passenger door.

Liuu Wanyin had no choice but to get in.

It was her first time riding in a sedan, feeling it so stylish and elegant, unsure where to place her hands and feet, worried her shoes might dirty the car.

"Sorry, boss, I don’t know how to fasten the seatbelt!"

Xiaoliu felt a bit embarrassed, realizing how out of touch she was.

"Haha, it’s simple, I’ll show you!"

Though driving slowly on campus with no police checks meant it didn’t really matter, Su Zelin still thought it wise to teach her, as she might ride in this car again in the future.

"Do you see the long thing on your right? Grab it, pull it over, and slot the latch into the groove beside your seat!"

Teacher Su acted like a technical instructor.

Following his instructions, Liuu Wanyin pulled at the seatbelt, but couldn’t move it, hesitant to pull harder, fearing it might break.

Mischievous couldn’t help but smile at her cautiousness.

"Pull harder, this thing is strong enough, even for a tug-of-war it won’t break!"

Only then did Liuu Wanyin dare to exert force, finally pulling the seatbelt across, but she made a common novice mistake.

The buckle extended, splitting the seatbelt in two; one part tightly hugged her legs while the diagonal part brushed her back.

"No, no, that’s not right!"

Teacher Su quickly corrected, grabbing the diagonal belt, passing it across Liuu Wanyin’s chest: "This is the right way to buckle up, got it?"

As he helped secure the seatbelt, Mischievous suddenly noticed something.

Xiaoliu seemed to have developed a bit.

Probably due to better nutrition spurring a second growth spurt.

"Um, yes, I got it."

Xiaoliu blushed slightly, fiddling with the hem of her clothes.

The Santana started again, arriving at the girls’ dorm in minutes.

Su Zelin turned off the ignition, dimmed the car lights, and the music stopped abruptly. The car suddenly fell silent, and only then did Liuu Wanyin realize.

"Ah, are we there already?"

She wasn’t paying attention to the road, lost in her thoughts.

"Haha, we are, but don’t rush out yet, I wanted to discuss something important with you!"

Su Zelin put away his smile.

Something important?

Is it business-related?

But why didn’t the boss mention it at the store?

Could it be personal?

The car, isolated from the outside, had just the two of them in the small space, with Su Zelin’s eyes shining brightly in the dark, watching intently.

Liuu Wanyin’s heartbeat suddenly sped up: "W-what is it?"

"Wanyin, have you thought about your plans after graduation?"

Mischievous asked.

"Ah, after graduation?"

Liuu Wanyin felt a bit startled.

Looks like she misunderstood.

Su Zelin nodded, "Yes, although we’re only sophomores, it’s never too early to start planning for the future, wouldn’t you agree?"

"I haven’t thought about post-graduation plans yet."

Liuu Wanyin hesitated for a moment before responding.

"In that case, let me get straight to it, have you considered staying with New Era after graduation?"

Su Zelin got to the point.

"Stay with New Era?"

Liuu Wanyin was slightly surprised.

She honestly hadn’t considered this possibility.

It’s not that New Era is bad; as a pioneer manager and contributor, she’s well aware of the enterprise’s potential and prospects, not to mention the good atmosphere and high salary here.
