You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 318 It Has Been A While

Gu Mingchen nodded, fairly satisfied with the man’s answer. His vision shifted to the woman in the middle.

A gentle smile spread across the woman’s face. “I worked as a language teacher in elementary school. I taught first to fourth grade, so I have more insight into primary school curriculums. I am more than capable of teaching your sons.”

Her answer also elicited a slight nod from Gu Mingchen. Finally, he turned to look at the last woman.

At first glance, she was stunning. There were no flaws to her delicately carved features. She had fair, porcelain skin and a pair of azurite eyes that looked like the ocean. Despite her beauty, she was very calm, unlike the impetuousness of modern-day attractive women.

If compared to the modern aesthetics of beauty, she didn’t conform either. Her body shape was plump and curvier than most women.

“Hello, Mr. Gu, my name is Wu Nian. I’m twenty-eight and was previously working at an orphanage in Coldbridge City. I disagree with the others. I don’t think your children lack education. In fact, they have access to a better education than many other children. They may even be quite intelligent. So I can only offer two things. One, I can help them develop good lifelong habits. Two, I’ll support them mentally and emotionally so that they don’t feel like they’re taking on the world alone.”

Gu Mingchen’s brows scrunched together. “And how will you ensure that they don’t feel emotionally isolated?”

“I’ll redesign their mentalities by helping them set their desired goals and guide them to achieve those goals. By filling their time with meaningful tasks, they’ll be focused on bettering themselves instead of feeling lonely. This is my approach to supportive guidance,” Wu Nian explained.

“What if no amount of trying could improve the ending? Won’t the person feel more and more mentally isolated?” Gu Mingchen asked.

“That’s because the goal they set is unattainable. Only when an appropriate goal is set will you be more motivated to put in the work, then you’ll eventually achieve your goal. One won’t feel as emotionally or mentally isolated with the right methods. Of course, if it still happens, I’ll be there to guide them out of the rut. So, Mr. Gu, I hope you’ll give me a chance.”

“I’d like you to stay. Everyone else may leave now,” Gu Mingchen announced as he continued to examine Wu Nian.

Wu Nian’s eyelids lowered as she remained silent.

The other interviewees stood up and left.
