Sun Nanjue was also quite surprised, "Why aren’t you staying at the Sheng Mansion? What are you doing coming out at this time? Have you lost your mind, Little Shushu?"
Ye Shu was stunned for a moment, "You two know about the Smart Girl Class? Hey, you guys are really well-informed, aren’t you?"
"Phew!" Ou Linlin nearly choked, "No way, Ye Shu. Now all the media is covering the Sheng Family’s plan to restart the Smart Girl Class, and you can still look so clueless? Are you stupid? Aren’t you afraid that your man will be snatched away?"
"Hey, Linlin, what do you mean by that? What does the Smart Girl Class have to do with someone stealing my husband?"
"Don’t you know? You really don’t know?" Ou Linlin quickly grabbed Ye Shu’s hand, "I found out about it from those online reports too. Back in the day, your Grandma used the Smart Girl Class as a stepping stone to become the mistress of the Sheng Family. Do you understand now?"
Ye Shu’s little head shook like a bobblehead, "I still don’t get it, Linlin. Can you briefly explain what the Smart Girl Class is?"
"Okay, simply put, the Smart Girl Class was a subsidiary system of the Sheng Family many years ago, wholly comprised of women, all bright and sharp. The members of the Smart Girl Class mainly helped manage the Sheng Family’s business. The compensation they received was dozens of times that of their peers, and moreover, if one were lucky enough to become the leader of the Smart Girl Class, there was a chance to marry into the Sheng Family, truly becoming a part of the Sheng Family!"
"No way, is the Smart Girl Class that influential? But isn’t the Sheng Family’s business always managed by Sheng Shaochen? Why start a so-called Smart Girl Class to compete with him?"
"Ha-ha, Ye Shu, I thought the same at first. But you know what? The Sheng Family’s business is actually much larger than you think. The Smart Girl Class manages businesses related to women."
"Businesses related to women?" Ye Shu was skeptical, "Really? Why haven’t I ever heard him mention this?"
"Are you talking about Boss Sheng?" Ou Linlin joked. "Of course, he wouldn’t tell you this, because he loves you enough not to want you too exposed or tired from doing business. That’s why he would never bring it up. Let me tell you, Wannv Fang, Mulan Ying, these top female brand chain stores, they’re all part of the Sheng Family’s business. Just think, tens of thousands of stores worldwide – can you imagine how huge that concept is? Including cosmetics, luxury goods, fashion, etc. So, once you get into the Smart Girl Class, even just as an ordinary member, your prospects are limitless because the Smart Girl Class is held every twenty years, and they only recruit eight people each session."
Ye Shu murmured to herself, "Then why did Grandma shut down the Smart Girl Class back then?"
"That..." Ou Linlin whispered in her ear, "It’s definitely because after she successfully married into and took control of the Sheng Family, she feared her status and position could be threatened by other members of the Smart Girl Class, so she shut it down. Everything was handled by her personally. Maybe now she’s old and feels she can’t handle it all by herself; that’s why she thought of restarting the Smart Girl Class to help her out a bit, right?"
Hearing Ou Linlin say this, Ye Shu couldn’t help feeling a bit uneasy, "I’m afraid that once the Smart Girl Class starts, the Sheng Family’s backyard might become embroiled in endless troubles..."
