Chapter 74: Clear Goals

on of over a dozen zombies in the yard. These monstrous figures shuffled toward the sound with stiff, unnatural steps."The timing is perfect!"Ripple curled her lips into a smile. After confirming that...Zhou Mengyu's eyebrows jumped upon hearing the ripples' words, seemingly a little surprised. Zhao Fenglin's expression remained unchanged, even nodding approvingly before opening his mouth to speak:

"Ripple, your analysis is very logical and close to the facts. It's already very good."

"Father is overpraising me. As a fellow girl, I understand her delicate thoughts. From being a pampered princess to an ordinary family child, the gap is huge, so she compares herself to me and wants to surpass me in every aspect. Because she can no longer claim to be the only daughter of the Zhao family, she even more doesn't want to lose to me in other areas."

It's a pity I didn't go to Shanghai, so she wanted to win back some face on the only marriage that could benefit me. To put it bluntly, it was her pride getting in the way. I was just surprised how heartless she was to throw herself into it as well. Couldn't she have just gone through the motions

Wu Lianyi naturally poured another glass of water for Zhou Mengyu and asked her about her doubts.

It was indeed a twist of fate. Yang Ziyin had two kinds of medicine in his body, given by different people, so things went out of control.

"What a bother!"

Ripples shook her head.

Zhou Mengyu's face was not good, after all, it was her own child. She hadn't noticed either, she didn't know when this child had such thoughts, hurting herself to get what she wanted.

"Ripples, you majored in International Finance and Trade at Capital University. You came to Zhao's Company in the capital for internships during your holidays or summer vacations. What do you think of it"

Zhao Fenglin directly changed the subject.

"Okay, I will get familiar with it as soon as possible. Maybe by the time I graduate, I can take your place directly."

"You, you little brat, your ambition is not small. The Zhao family isn't so easy to take over. You're still too green."

Because of Zhao Fenglin's single sentence, the development of Ripples was decided. While she went to school, she also entered Zhao Shi Company in the capital and began learning like a sponge.

Starting as a tea server, I gradually became familiar with the company's business and core structure. I learned about all employees from the bottom level to the middle and top management, including their resumes, strengths, and weaknesses.

When she started interning in her senior year, she moved around to different departments within the company. She worked in departments like general affairs, administration, sales, and logistics, gaining familiarity with all the work processes. This way, when she took over Zhao Fenglin's position, the people below her wouldn't be able to easily fool her.

For four years that Lian Yi spent studying in Ripples, she would unfailingly go back home to accompany Wu Yong and Wan Gui Fen every winter vacation. She always brought a lot of things back with her each time, which made the couple very pleased. In reality, Lian Yi went back to supervise Wu Jun Yi, this wild horse who had run free.

Don't think that just because she went to the capital, Wu Jinyi could let himself go. Every time he went back, as soon as she saw his grades slip, Lian Yi would first give him a beating of love with an iron fist, and then during the short winter vacation of less than a month, she would use the tactic of "sea of problems" on Wu Jinyi, making sure he did enough to make him vomit. She swore that next semester's grades wouldn't regress until it was over.

Wu Junyi wanted to protest the newcomer, but unfortunately, as Lian Ri entered the company, her aura grew stronger. Even Wu Yong and Wan Guifen didn't dare to yell at her much anymore. Moreover, every time their son went through Lian Ri's love education, his grades would improve, so the couple just turned a blind eye. After all, their son was the ultimate beneficiary.

Because of her parents' default, Ripples provided Wu Junyi with all-round guidance, not just in math but also in Chinese, English, physics, and chemistry. Every year on Wu Junyi's birthday, the gifts he received were piles of exercise books, stacked so high they almost reached his height.

When he was in high school, Wu Junyi had a little rebellion. He started smoking, flirting with girls, and hanging out with some young delinquents.

Knowing they couldn't control their son, Wanmu softened her heart. Only Lianyi could calm him down, so she contacted Lianyi first.

When Lian Yi received Wan Mu's tearful complaint over the phone, she immediately booked a flight back home the next day.

Wu Junyi blew a hooligan whistle and it landed on his older sister. When he saw that the beauty wearing sunglasses was his sister, he wanted to run but it was too late.

Because Ripples directly kicked Wu Jinyi off the railing by the roadside, making him roll on the ground for three circles. Then she walked over and stepped on his back, coldly asked:

"Who taught you to smoke"

"Big sister, let's talk properly."

Wu Junyi was so excited, he could barely speak straight.

His buddies saw that something was wrong, they all jumped down from the railing and tried to help their brother. As a result, their arms and legs were 'dislocated', and they each sat on the ground howling in pain, yelling for the police.

The police did arrive, and Ripples directly called the best law firm in the area. Then, in front of Wu Jinyi and his friends, she instructed the entire legal team:

"Although these are just petty thugs, they have corrupted my younger brother. I'm furious! Please use legal means to find evidence of their crimes and keep them away from my brother."

"Okay, Ms. Zhao, we will handle this as soon as possible."

The head of the legal team immediately nodded in agreement.

There's no way around it, the lawyer's fee was generous, and this is such a small case. They're using a sledgehammer to crack a nut! Of course they want to make it look perfect.

The young people in society were dumbfounded, as was Wu Junyi. They hadn't expected Lian Yi to be so ruthless. That day, Junyi had been taken into temporary custody for hooliganism pending the investigation results. His elder sister was the one who had called the police. He felt like the sky had turned gray.

Ripples ignored the clamor and pleas of those people, taking Wu Yong and Wan Guifen on a two-day trip to the hot springs resort near the neighboring city. She promised that when they returned, Jun Yi's matter would be resolved.

Ringlets did this because two of those hooligans were the ones who instigated Wu Jinyi to gamble, causing him to become addicted. They then lured him into breaking and entering. She naturally wanted to nip these in the bud.

Although Wu Junyi despised her original body and even scolded her, he was not the culprit who caused her death. Moreover, since Ripples, this tasker, arrived, she has gradually clawed back the interest from Wu Junyi. This time, she naturally had to administer a stronger remedy.

Two days later, Lian Yi withdrew the police report and chose not to pursue charges against Wu Junyi, allowing him to leave the police station.

His buddies, however, weren't so lucky. They were a bunch of crooks and thieves, how could they possibly leave no trace Under the lawyers' efforts, they were all eventually sent to jail for theft. Now Wu Junyi's surroundings are clean.

Before leaving, Lian Yi patted Wu Junyi's shoulder and said with a very kind smile:

"Little brother, you must study hard and not disappoint your parents' expectations. I'm waiting for you in the capital city. Don't let me down!"

The last meaningful inflection made Wu Junyi swallow nervously. He nodded frantically, afraid that if he moved too slowly, he would be punished again.t dissipated yet.After the howls left, Ripples didn't retract the vines, she just made space for the three beastmen to rest. This comfortable and warm cave naturally returned to Ripples and Warmth's u...
