My System Forces Me to Live off Women

Today is also the first day of school for He Yimeng. Almost at the same time Li Peifeng entered the school gate, she also arrived at school, but the Psychology Department and the School of Arts and Sciences are in different locations. One entered through the south gate, the other through the east gate, so they did not meet.

Similarly, He Yimeng has no classes scheduled today; she only comes to school for psychology supervision.

The term ’supervision’ can generally be understood as a psychological counselor seeking guidance from a more experienced senior counselor.

Being a psychological counselor involves dealing with different people and entering their inner worlds, subjected to great pressure. Hence, psychological supervision is something that counselors must do every month.

The goal is to promote personal growth for counselors, helping them regain mental health when they encounter psychological problems, and effectively helping them improve their counseling skills.

He Yimeng’s supervisor is her mentor, Lin Dan...

"How was your winter break?"

Lin Dan’s hair has turned as white as the first snow in early winter, like the first frost of autumn, painstakingly combed without a strand out of place. But those silver strands stand out starkly among the black hair; in her slightly sunken eye sockets, a pair of deep brown eyes quietly tell tales of time while warmly looking at her favorite student, speaking with a gentle and steady tone that exudes a warm and comforting presence.

He Yimeng relaxed into the sofa, letting out a sigh: "Pretty good. The counseling office business is going well, with an average of twenty clients a week. Wenli and I can barely manage, and we’ve also made some progress in the social media area."

"I took two advertisements over the winter break, making a total of 150,000. I also started doing some selling, like books and stationery, but sales weren’t very good. After all, it’s just starting, can’t expect too much..."

Lin Dan nodded: "So how much can you earn this month?"

He Yimeng calculated: "After taxes and deducting their 60% share from livestream rewards, selling, and advertisements in short videos, I can make over 300,000, and my studio currently has a profit of 30,000... The share for short videos is still a bit high, I’ll negotiate to get a bigger cut soon."

Lin Dan smiled reassuringly: "I didn’t expect... Anyhow, from now on, you can make a living in the Capital." Then, she changed her tone: "But you don’t seem very happy, is it because of too much work?"

"Not really, that’s not much of a factor."

"Then did you run into any difficult clients? Any special cases you need my help with?"

"..."

He Yimeng awkwardly glanced at her mentor, thinking, you know why and are deliberately asking other questions to get me to say it? I won’t say it!

She didn’t say, and Lin Dan didn’t either. The teacher and student sat in silence for over half a minute. Lin Dan leisurely picked up her tea cup, sipped some hot water, and with a smile, said: "Considering your substantial increase in income, I’ve decided to raise your supervision fee to 10,000 per hour from now on..."

"Huh?"

He Yimeng immediately felt exposed, sat up straight with wide eyes: "10,000 per hour? Are you serious? I’m your student!"

Lin Dan, as if helpless, said: "The previous 300 per hour was a friendship price. My actual supervision fee has always been this standard. Mengmeng, you should know that. In fact, I’m very busy, with so many research projects and enterprises wanting to collaborate for paid lectures and training. If you weren’t my student, even if you’d pay 20,000, I wouldn’t offer supervision to you..."

"But you charge me 10,000; do Wenli and Kangliang, my fellow students, also pay 10,000?"

"Just for you, because you’ve become independent."

Lin Dan was calm: "When their incomes are like yours, I’ll charge them 10,000 too."

He Yimeng took a few heavy breaths, then showed a pleasing smile: "Mentor~ Lin Mom~ Mom~ please lower it a bit, not 10,000, how about 3,000? If it’s 10,000 per hour, I’ll have to give you at least 50,000 each month, can you bear that?"

"I’ve worked for you, sweated for you, helped you write lectures, I’ve made significant contributions to the CARE project. You can’t treat me like this..."

"This supervision is also 10,000."

Faced with He Yimeng’s plea, Lin Dan was unmoved, glanced at the Cartier Ballon Bleu watch on He Yimeng’s wrist, then looked down at her own old, somewhat faded Seagull watch, she reminded: "Ten minutes have passed, you’ve already spent 1,666, I suggest not wasting time on price. Answer my question—why are you unhappy?"

"Because you raised my supervision fee to 10,000!!"

Lin Dan smirked: "Eleven minutes, you’ve spent 1,800."

He Yimeng remained silent for two seconds, finally unable to resist returning to the main issue with a slightly complaining tone: "Because of him, the one I’ve mentioned to you before."

Lin Dan’s eyes gleamed, with a hint of amusement at the corners of her mouth: "So the boy you’re interested in is still hovering around other girls, maintaining a distance from you?"

"During the winter break, he even took those people to meet his parents, which I didn’t expect. He’s so shameless!"

"He took three girls to meet his parents simultaneously?"

"Actually, it should be four!"

"Hmm? You said before he had three girlfriends besides you..."

"It’s four; I’m the fifth, just recently found out."

"Oh?"

Lin Dan furrowed her brows, squinting in mild disdain, restraint amidst burgeoning curiosity. After three or four seconds, she remained serious: "So what are you going to do? Continue maintaining the lover relationship with him?"
