Chapter 67 Help Me[Part 6]

Even if Zhou Yi hadn't offered his assistance, it would have been understandable.

For a moment, Zhou Yi lowered his gaze, lost in thought.

Then, softly, he said, "Perhaps it's because your mother's cooking reminded me of warmth—a feeling I haven't experienced in a long time."

This unexpected answer caught Chu Han off guard.

Yes, Zhou Yi had been an orphan. No matter how much wealth he had accumulated, the love and care he missed out on during his childhood could never be replaced.

She may have come from a single-parent household, but at least she still had her mother's love.

As for Zhou Yi… it seemed he had always been alone, with no one to truly care for him.

"I know I can't expect forgiveness from you right now, but I swear I'll change myself—for the better. I'll keep working until you're willing to give me another chance," Chu Han vowed.

"Your transformation should be for yourself, not for anyone else. Haven't you realized yet that relying on others is unreliable? Only you can shape your future," Zhou Yi responded firmly but gently.

He was a calm and pragmatic person who believed in self-reliance above all else. In his view, no one in this world could be fully depended upon except oneself.

Chu Han paused, her expression shifting from uncertainty to determination. "You're right. My change must start with myself. But there's no denying that it's because of you that I've begun to see things differently."

If Zhou Yi hadn't stepped in to help, what path might she have taken?

She had even considered dropping out of school to work part-time jobs.

Without his support, her future would have been bleak—and even then, she might not have been able to save her mother.

For Chu Han, losing her mother would mean losing the very reason to live.

All she could think was: thank goodness Zhou Yi was nothing like Gao Wenhao. In fact, just by his generosity alone, Zhou Yi surpassed him a thousandfold.

"The car's here. Call me if you need anything," Zhou Yi said as he prepared to leave.

"Thank you, Yi-Gege," Chu Han murmured gratefully.

With a nod, Zhou Yi got into the car and drove away, heading toward his new home in Zijin Bay.

As he traveled, the system chimed in: "Host, Chu Han's remorse value has reached its maximum. You've unlocked a rare reward."

"A rare reward?" Zhou Yi echoed, intrigued. It felt different from the usual rewards—he sensed it carried greater significance.

Logically speaking, since this was one of the main tasks assigned by the system, the reward should be substantial.

"Yes, Host. For each of the three task characters you complete, you'll receive a rare reward."

"Let's see what it is."

"Congratulations, Host. You've obtained the skill [Light of Entertainment]."

"What does [Light of Entertainment] do?" Zhou Yi queried curiously.

"This ability allows you to instantly identify which movies, TV dramas, scripts, or novels will become hits. Anything related to entertainment falls under its purview."

Zhou Yi's eyes widened slightly. Such a skill existed?

"So if I start a company investing in these projects, I'd essentially secure my financial future, correct?" he mused aloud.

"In theory, yes," the system confirmed.

Eager to verify, Zhou Yi opened his status panel:

It was real!

Zhou Yi slapped his thigh in excitement. This was his golden ticket to lifelong security! Perhaps he wouldn't even need to rely on favorability points anymore to amass wealth.

Little did the young man know, even greater fortunes awaited him in the days to come.

With his mind made up, Zhou Yi decided to act immediately.

First, he would register a company, rent an office, and hire staff to form an investment and operations team.

Next, he'd scout for promising films and novels seeking funding.

The wind whistled past the car window, brushing against the youthful face of the aspiring investor.

A rising star in the world of finance was beginning to shine brightly.
