Chapter 33: I Have No Experience

"Oh no, what I mean is, you can borrow money, but how much depends on your performance tonight."

Chen Luo was already used to Wen Wan’s mischievous grin, but he certainly didn’t want to always be at a disadvantage.

With a quick upward push of his left hand, Wen Wan found herself sitting astride Chen Luo’s lap, the two now face to face. His hand rested behind her back, holding her gently but firmly in place.

Their eyes met, Chen Luo gazing at her with utmost seriousness. "Sometimes, I can be the one to take the initiative too."

Wen Wan cupped Chen Luo’s face in her hands, her cheeks flushed, her waist swaying ever so slightly. Then, glancing down, she let out a playful, coquettish laugh.

"Indeed, I can feel that."

Chen Luo looked down as well, and only then did it strike him—Wen Wan was wearing nothing but his shirt, nothing else at all.

Her long, slender, porcelain legs were wrapped around his waist, and before he knew it, his body had already reacted on its own!

This was dangerous; he could barely keep things under control!

"Ah! You’d better put something on. I have something serious to discuss!"

"Oh? You don’t like seeing me dressed like this?" Wen Wan’s chin brushed lightly against his earlobe.

Chen Luo felt his heart was about to leap from his chest, his mind a blurry whirl.

"No, it’s not that. I just think—well, I’d prefer you wearing something more suited for a business talk! Yes! I like you in an office lady outfit, with black stockings—the cool, commanding type!"

Damn!

What am I saying? Why did I just blurt out my secret preferences?

"My, my, this is the first time you’ve made such a request of me."

"So, this is what you like. Well, I’ll be sure to satisfy you."

With that, Wen Wan sprang off his lap and strode toward the dressing room. Chen Luo watched her retreating figure, those endlessly long, radiant legs, feeling a pang of loss.

Yet, the image of Wen Wan in black stockings flashed through his mind—the situation was getting harder to control than an AK rifle!

Ah! I swear I’ll never wear jeans again—they’re pure torture.

"Focus on the matter at hand, or there’ll be no hope of restraint," Chen Luo muttered to himself, glancing around until his eyes fell upon a stack of documents on the table. Picking them up, he realized they were all data and market analyses on the education industry.

Of course—he’d seen Wen Wan researching the education sector in her office before. She was clearly planning to branch out, and he’d meant to advise her about it.

After all, as someone who had lived this life before, he knew the upcoming industry trends like the back of his hand.

In 2013, the education sector was undergoing a major reshuffling. Due to national regulations issued in 2012, the traditional education and tutoring market was becoming saturated.

But by the end of this year, the boom in mobile communications and the internet would trigger an explosive rise in online education. Nearly all of the major education companies of the future would have their beginnings around this time.

The most prominent among them would be Yuan Guidance, Homework List, and others—brands that would soon dominate half the online education sector for primary and secondary schools.

This was a golden opportunity. If Wen Wan could seize the moment, with her resources and abilities, she could easily build a leading enterprise in the education industry!

The sound of a curtain being drawn, followed by heels clicking on the floor, broke his thoughts.

She’s back—no time to waste, he had to tell her. In this moment, time was money!

"Wen Wan, I need to—"

Turning his head, Chen Luo instantly forgot what he’d meant to say, his gaze locked on Wen Wan as she approached.

"There, just what you asked for."

She wore a pair of rimless glasses, a perfectly tailored white blouse with the collar slightly open, revealing her slender neck—a subtle, irresistible allure.

Her black pencil skirt hugged every curve, swaying gracefully with every step. The black stockings on her long, shapely legs only accentuated her captivating elegance, each stride radiating a lethal charm.

"Well, little one, do you like how I look?"

Wen Wan spun in place, making sure to show off her figure from every angle.

"Y-yes, I do!"

Help! She understands me too well—every detail hits all my weak points! How is a man supposed to keep his composure?

Sensing the desire in his eyes, Wen Wan strode over and pushed Chen Luo down onto the sofa, looming above him with a stern, commanding gaze.

"Chen Luo, have you done your secretarial duties properly today? You’ve gone and upset your president, you know."

"Come here, I’ll teach you personally, up close and hands-on, how to serve your superior."

Role-play?

Secretary and president? The boss preying on her subordinate!

She’s really getting into character—this is almost too much!

Wen Wan perched sideways on his lap and placed his hand on her thigh.

"Come now, massage your president’s legs properly. They’ve been so sore all day."

Instinctively, Chen Luo’s hand began to caress the impossibly smooth black stockings. The material was exquisite—was it imported from Paris, or custom-woven for a perfect fit?

"Not bad, your technique is quite skilled." Wen Wan closed her eyes, savoring the moment. "If you do a good job, I’ll give you a promotion and a raise!"

Goodness, she’s so fluent in corporate innuendo—where did she learn all this?

Wait—no, focus! He had to seize this rare moment to talk about the education industry’s coming boom. If he missed it again, he’d regret it!

If Wen Wan’s business flourished and she was happy, wouldn’t every day bring a new adventure? It was the difference between a single meal and a lifetime of feasts!

"Hold on! Wen Wan, I have something important to say."

Wen Wan paused, startled by Chen Luo’s sudden seriousness. What was this? He wasn’t going to play along? Wasn’t this exactly the sort of thing he liked?

"Listen to me!" Chen Luo pressed on, urgency in his voice. "I have an idea about the education sector you’ve been studying—it’s about to become the next big thing. Let me explain my analysis!"

He then launched into a breakdown of current education policies and internet trends, outlining the stages of growth he recalled from his previous life. It took nearly fifteen minutes for him to finish, leaving him parched and out of breath.

Wen Wan fell into deep thought, swiftly analyzing every aspect and risk in her mind.

Once she had considered everything, her experience and business acumen told her this online education industry was worth pursuing—the chances of success and the potential returns were both extremely high!

"Mwah!" Wen Wan planted a firm kiss on Chen Luo’s cheek. "You truly are my lucky star—how do you know all these things? Very well, you’ll work with me on this as my advisor."

"Of course, no problem. But I do have a question."

"Go ahead."

"How did you get so good at this kind of role-play? Even your lines are so natural."

"Oh, I’m not experienced at all—I just studied twenty terabytes of specialty materials from Yingzhou. That’s where I learned it."

"What? That much?"

"What do you mean ‘what’? You silly boy, you’re the only man I’ve ever had. What if things aren’t harmonious after we’re married? I just wanted to do my homework in advance."

Chen Luo gave her a thumbs-up. "President Wen, your foresight is truly admirable—I’m in awe!"

"By the way, Mo Lan just bought a brand-new set of OL workplace-themed study materials. I haven’t watched them yet—come on, let’s review them together!"
