Chapter 486: Chapter 274: The Wind-Leak Cotton-Padded Coat, Death Perception (6800 Words Combined, Supplement) _2

The other party had some things to deal with today; they could only come over at noon.

As for Lizard Woman Linda that he brought back from Florida, Susan had stuffed her into NW’s newbie training camp while Brian was away on a business trip, so it was going to be a short while until he saw her again.

...

Noon.

Just as Brian was about to directly call Susan to ask for her dad’s number, she finally arrived.

Trailing behind Susan was a young white guy with pale, delicate skin, wearing small glasses, and looking very prim and proper.

The guy seemed young and wasn’t tall, only reaching Susan’s shoulders, dressed in casual clothes, with that sense of restraint one has when they’re not yet exposed to society or fond of socializing.

Without turning his head, Brian said, "Team leader, you’ve finally remembered your subordinate who’s been working hard in the office."

Susan rolled her eyes, walked up to Brian, twisted his head around, gave his face a nibble, and then pointed to the bespectacled young man standing at the door, "This is my uncle’s son, a top student from Oxford. I went to pick him up this morning. You can call him Guei, Guy Adams."

Saying this,

She turned to the young man with glasses, "Guei, this is my boyfriend Brian. I think he can help you with the problems you’re currently facing."

"Hi~"

Guei greeted Brian with a reserved wave of his hand.

This delicate appearance amuses Brian.

This guy, in an American drama, could play the bullied protagonist without any need for acting.

Brian stood up and, like picking up a small chick, tossed the still-standing Guei onto the opposite office chair, "Hello, tell me, what difficulties are you facing? For Susan’s sake, I might be able to give you some advice."

Guei glanced at his big sister Susan for a bit of encouragement.

Susan rolled her eyes, clenched her fists.

Guei...

He took a deep breath and stuttered to Brian, "I fell for a girl at school, but she looked down on me for lacking masculinity, so I hope to become more confident."

Brian shrugged, "What’s her family background?"

"Ordinary family, but she is very outstanding..."

"How much do you think she can earn on her own after graduation, with her efforts?"

Guy didn’t know why Brian was asking this but still quickly answered, "An annual salary of several hundred thousand before taxes is definitely possible; with good luck, she could reach over a million in a few years. I’ve done some research on this before."

Brian snapped his fingers, "Great, what’s your monthly allowance?"

"I don’t have any. I started trading stocks with my pocket money in high school and already saved up a few million. It should be more than ten million by now, so I haven’t asked my family for money since..."

Guei explained sincerely.

Brian rolled his eyes,

"Buddy, you’re already better off than many people.

You come from a privileged background but don’t have any bad habits.

The information you’re exposed to daily is beyond what ordinary people could grasp in a lifetime, cultivating your unique perspective, which is why you could make a killing in the stock market at such a young age.

All of these are your resources and advantages.

As for the woman you like, no matter how excellent she is, solely relying on herself, the endpoint of her struggles might not even reach where you started.

So, why would you lack confidence?"

Guei was a bit defiant, "I tried to approach her, she didn’t reject me, even talks with me about investment sometimes, accompanies me to meals, goes out on dates, but when I suggested we be together, she said I’m a nice person, but I lack some masculinity... If I weren’t good enough, why wouldn’t she agree?"

Brian rolled his eyes again.

This is self-PUA, isn’t it.

He looked at Susan,

"Team leader, he’s just simply made a cognitive error.

It’s like the noble young ladies in some knight novels. If this goes on, I think he’ll soon be preyed upon by some calculating individuals and then perform the drama of giving up everything for love with his family.

He has been overprotected."

Susan spread her hands helplessly, "Is there a solution?"

"Simple."

Brian pointed to Glenn’s seat, "Just let him hang out with Glenn for a while."

"Glenn?"

Susan raised an eyebrow, rejecting the idea, "I don’t hope for Guei to turn into a scumbag."

"Turning into a scumbag is better than becoming a sucker, and besides, Guei is an adult. He has his own understanding. He might have less experience, but you should trust him. He won’t be corrupted but will gain a more realistic understanding of society."

Brian said assertively.

Guei was just lucky, or maybe the girl he liked still had some self-respect, was not shameless; otherwise, given Guei’s naive state, he would have been domesticated into a lackey by now.

The best way to get rid of a lackey’s mindset and not knowing how to interact with the opposite sex and other issues is to get out and see the world.

Brian had been there.

"That... who is Glenn?"

Guei asked weakly.

"He’s been with more women than you’ve probably ever met. Aren’t you trying to become confident? Trust me, stick with him, and you’ll soon be confident," Brian patted Guei’s shoulder, "Oh, remember to keep away from Ivan near him..."

Susan...

She had originally planned to have Brian take charge of Guei, but now Brian was suggesting that Guei hang with Glenn.

The more she listened, the more she regretted bringing Guei to Brian.

After some more discussion,

Susan reluctantly agreed.
