Ever since Sean Young fell for Julia Yu, his growth and maturity have been visible to the naked eye.
The former playboy, who used to spend his days racing cars with other rich kids, suddenly became ambitious.
Mr. and Mrs. Young were overjoyed, but beneath their happiness, they worried that their son's newfound drive was a bit too much.
It was as if all the ambition he'd lacked for the past twenty years exploded at this very moment.
So Mr. and Mrs. Young were genuinely worried about their son.
They used to have to force him to study and work with a stick, but now they’re scared he’ll work himself to death. Isn’t overwork a thing these days?
So now Mr. and Mrs. Young keep nagging him to balance work and rest, telling him not to push himself too hard.
But Sean Young wasn’t about to slow down just because people kept nagging him.
So, just ten days after setting up his auto repair shop, Sean made his first bucket of gold: two hundred thousand yuan from customizing a Range Rover.
Sean felt pure joy when he got the money.
His monthly allowance is way more than two hundred thousand yuan.
But this two hundred thousand was earned through his own hard work, so it felt especially meaningful.
So, he decided to share his first big achievement with someone special.
He called Julia Yu: “Chief Assistant Yu, I made money! Can I treat you to a meal?”
Julia glanced at the clock before answering, “Really? Congrats! But let’s skip the meal—I’m not in the mood to eat lately…”
“Chief Assistant Yu, you said I could treat you to a meal.” Sean sounded a little aggrieved over the phone.
Julia rubbed her forehead, feeling like she was babysitting.
Well, he really is just a kid—he’s several years younger than her.
Might as well be kind to children.
“Alright, where are you? I’ll come over,” Julia replied.
Sean was absolutely thrilled and immediately gave her the address.
After hanging up, Julia Yu looked up and saw Lisa Li standing at the door, her eyes probing.
"What is it?" Julia asked.
Lisa Li curled her lip, her voice tinged with disdain: "That Sean Young is actually working hard for you? Well, I guess it makes sense. With just a high school diploma, what kind of decent job can he get? Is that really worth bragging about? How embarrassing!"
Julia replied, "No matter what he does, as long as he’s willing to work, willing to take life seriously, he deserves respect—no matter who he is or what background he comes from. Lisa, if you want a job, I can help you find one too."
"No need." Lisa Li rejected her bluntly.
Julia didn’t say anything more. She went back to her room, changed clothes, grabbed her car keys, and headed out.
Lisa Li thought it over and decided to secretly follow her.
She had originally set Julia Yu up with Sean Young just to mess with her.
She judged others by her own standards, thinking her own status was superior and feeling disgusted by people she considered beneath her. Now that Julia is Chief Assistant, she figured Julia must also hate being pursued by someone so unqualified.
So, her only goal was to annoy Julia Yu, hoping that the playboy Sean Young would pester her and throw her off her game.
But things didn’t go as she expected.
The Sean Young she’d known—who only cared about racing and having fun—was now working hard to earn money!
And all traces of his old playboy attitude had vanished, replaced by real ambition.
Lisa Li was not happy about this.
If Sean Young was going to be ambitious, how was she supposed to get under Julia’s skin?
She definitely wasn’t trying to help Julia find a good match!
No way—she couldn’t let Julia end up with a good husband!
Lisa Li drove after Julia, following her through several intersections until finally stopping in front of Barbecue World.
Lisa Li glanced at the sign with disdain: Barbecue World.
