Can following the rules be called rebirth?

Chapter 188, Section 186: He Knows Everything
Shen Yunrong's little scheme didn't last long.

Whether it was a test or an inquiry, before she even had a chance to speak, she had already spotted a familiar figure at Jieyou Media.

"This way, Ms. Shen."

"Most of the empty rooms on this floor haven't been cleaned yet. Please come and sit in my office first."

As soon as the meeting between the boss and the female anchors ended, everyone returned to their workstations in twos and threes.

Zhou Mingyuan immediately invited Teacher Shen into his private office.

Shen Yunrong followed the student through the long corridor, turned a corner, and the door was gently pushed open. She saw someone already bent over near the sofa, with the aroma of tea wafting from the table.

"Xiaomin!?"

At first glance, Shen Yunrong almost didn't recognize her. She tried her best to control her emotions and voice, leaned forward slightly, and greeted him.

"Sister Yun is here~"

"Please sit down, please sit down. I'll make you some tea, and you can chat."

"Mr. Zhou, I'll report back later."

He Min smiled and noticed out of the corner of her eye that Zhou Mingyuan had followed her into the office. She immediately stood up to greet him, as if by reflex.

Today she wore an ivory-white pinstriped silk shirt, the flowing fabric cascading down her shoulders, paired with a gray knee-length straight skirt, and stockings that accentuated her comic-book-like straight legs.

On her feet were a pair of low-cut loafers, the heels tapping lightly on the ground, the awkwardness of a newcomer to the workplace transformed into a crisp, clean sound.

In short, He Min's typical professional attire made her look much more mature.

"Okay, you go down first."

Zhou Mingyuan nodded with practiced ease, his tone natural and casual.

"Hey Xiaomin"

Before Shen Yunrong could say anything to He Min, the latter had already left the office.

What's going on between the two of them?
Her gaze shifted, and her eyes met Zhou Mingyuan's.

Thoughts raced through Shen Yunrong's mind, and many questions seemed to be instantly resolved, with the answers readily apparent, all hidden in the details before her.

What was He Min doing just now?

Making tea, serving water, greeting guests, and reporting on work.

She only does assistant work!
But isn't He Min working at another company called Mingli Legal Consulting?
Why are you here at Jieyou Media again?
unless
Another idea popped into her head, and Shen Yunrong subconsciously swallowed, her curiosity piqued. She avoided Zhou Mingyuan's burning gaze and began to look around.

His private office has a fairly spacious interior.

In the corner of the window, there were several pots of clivia and privet grass that He Min had specially purchased, as well as a small tank of silver arowana, making the bright and tidy office look vibrant.

"You're really hiding your true abilities, Zhou."

Neither of them spoke first, and a subtle pause occurred in the atmosphere.

After a long silence, Shen Yunrong rubbed her cheeks, took a sip of the hot tea in front of her, and looked across at the other side.

"Campus star Du Jianuo came to your company as a contracted anchor, and former student council president He Min became your personal assistant."

"Tsk tsk tsk"

Seeing that Zhou Mingyuan did not deny the title of personal assistant, Shen Yunrong hesitated to speak.

"I paid you for everything, Ms. Shen. Are you interested in part-time work?"

Zhou Mingyuan still had a smiling face, and out of politeness, he did not continue to sit in the boss's chair not far away.

Instead, she stood up and sat down on the sofa opposite Shen Yunrong at the other end.

"I heard you majored in Chinese Language and Literature, right?"

"This will be perfect for them to provide some guidance on copywriting for Jieyou Media."

"This time it's real, hands-on guidance."

"."

Shen Yunrong narrowed her eyes and remained silent immediately.

In fact, counselors and lecturers in universities are not the same thing at all.

Although she entered Nanhu University through the talent introduction policy, the position of counselor does not require a 100% match with her major.

Ultimately, not all law school counselors are law experts.

"We can settle the payment with you based on the hourly rate, and it will be about [amount] per session." Seeing Zhou Mingyuan's serious expression, Shen Yunrong couldn't help but chuckle and interrupted him.

"Wait, are you going to pay me my salary?"

"You can't say that, Professor Shen. It's perfectly reasonable for someone of your status to be paid when giving lectures."

Zhou Mingyuan said in a serious tone.

"."

Shen Yunrong pursed her lips, her face expressionless, but she was already 60-70% certain in her heart.

Was Zhou Mingyuan testing him?
Why did he suddenly ask that question?

It is known that He Min is his personal assistant.

Furthermore, He Min was also listed in public publicity reports as the assistant to the chairman of Mingli Legal Consulting Company!
Zhou Mingyuan must have some connection with Mingli Legal Consulting Company, right?

In other words, he knew about the shameful thing that happened—he was scammed out of money in an online relationship.
That's why you wanted to help, both openly and secretly?

These are all his own deductions; does he actually know them?
Will he tell anyone?

One hypothesis after another resembled a hemp rope, all intertwined together.

Today, Shen Yunrong deliberately wore a relatively fitted off-white chiffon blouse, which made her look even more voluptuous as she sat on the sofa.

With her cherry lips tightly pursed, her cheeks appeared somewhat rounded, and from the side, they looked full of collagen, like a fresh-faced girl in her early twenties.

If it weren't for the glasses she wore as a teacher and the dignified and elegant demeanor she exuded within the system, no one would guess that Shen Yunrong was already approaching thirty.

Don't smile with white hair wearing flowers, years have never defeated a beauty.

Moreover, twenty-eight years old is the golden age when one is full of charm.

"Let's talk about it when the opportunity arises. I haven't considered part-time work yet."

Shen Yunrong's eyes darkened, and her voice also became much lower.

"Ok."

Zhou Mingyuan smiled and didn't insist.

"Actually, He Min is also capable of these tasks. When she was in the student council, she reviewed and rewrote many of the documents. She is exceptionally capable."

Shen Yunrong added.

“He Min also has to manage people and affairs, and her energy needs to be focused on more important things. She doesn’t have time to focus on these small things.”

Zhou Mingyuan shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.

"So she's currently juggling two jobs while also managing work for another company?"

Shen Yunrong had already vaguely grasped the answer and couldn't help but ask further.

"correct."

Zhou Mingyuan readily admitted it.

"."

Now the case is solved.

Shen Yunrong sat up straight, took a deep breath, and was almost 90% certain.

His nonchalant attitude, and the fact that he gave He Min full control over his work arrangements, all point to one undeniable truth.

Zhou Mingyuan is the behind-the-scenes boss of Mingli Legal Consulting Company.

OMG!

Upon discovering that the reasoning was impeccable, Shen Yunrong clenched her ten big toes instantly, feeling utterly ashamed.

The student realized he had been scammed out of 100,000 yuan in an online romance.

The students are the masterminds behind the scenes, directing and helping them protect their rights.

The student knows everything, but he doesn't say it.

Help! ! !

She just wanted to escape back immediately.
