CHAPTER 1273: CHAPTER 1274: THE YOUNG WIDOW OF THE SIHEYUAN 1

Zhang Yu watched her descendants from mid-air, feeling that it was quite a grand spectacle.

Not only did she make the mainstream news, but even top officials attended her funeral.

Even Zhang Dong, who had passed away long ago, was mentioned as part of the family legacy, and Lu Ming’s son was also mentioned, saying that the Zhang Family’s legacy had been passed down through three generations.

Zhang Yu could see Zhang Hao and Xiao Bao, their faces flushed with anger, wanting to say that the Lu Family’s Youngster had no connection to the Zhang Family.

Clearly these honors belonged to them, yet it was them receiving the condolences from top officials.

Clearly those who should have inherited Zhang Yu’s social network and estate were them, but now it was entirely out of reach.

Zhang Xiaobao stared intently at the Lu Family’s Youngster shaking hands with the top officials, itching to push him aside.

But he didn’t dare. He knew their paths diverged the moment he chose finance as a major and the Lu Family’s Youngster chose the path of physics research.

Even the academic achievements built by his grandfather Zhang Dong and aunt Zhang Yu were being inherited all by Zhang Yu.

Zhang Xiaobao was more promising than Zhang Hao but likewise inherited Zhang Hao’s lack of ambition.

He never thought, before filling out his college applications, about the conversation with Zhang Dong, where he expressed a desire to study finance and enter the financial circle himself,

"It’s you, all of you. If it weren’t for you, how could I be like this now?"

Even though Xiao Bao was scrapping through the financial world, it wasn’t going particularly well.

He needed to sufferingly watch the faces of the bosses while drinking at banquets, humbling himself for opportunities.

In contrast, the Lu Family’s Youngster spent every day absorbed in research, without needing to cater to anyone.

Xiao Bao truly regretted it now; if he had entered the research industry back then, he would be the one living a successful life now.

Listening to his son’s complaints of discontent, Zhang Hao could only stay silent, as he had advised his son in the same way back then.

Now that his son was dissatisfied, he just had to endure it.

"Your aunt was something, having so much money yet donating it all." Ever since Zhang Dong passed away, Zhang Hao and Zhang Yu had no contact whatsoever.

They only knew Zhang Yu lived well, but that was all, given she spent her life contributing to the country, naturally, her retirement was comfortable.

What they didn’t expect was that Zhang Yu had so many assets under her name, investing in numerous company shares, with dividends sufficient for them to live well.

Yet all these assets were donated as scholarships to encourage students to engage in research.

Every time Zhang Hao thought about the money Zhang Yu donated, his heart bled, "If it was left for us."

His future life could have been as comfortable as he desired, but now it was all gone, his expression instantly fell.

Seeing the three of them with mournful faces, Zhang Yu knew they would live in a world of complaints, knowing that they were not doing well, and that was enough.

Zhang Yu opened her eyes again, already arriving in an all-white space. Just as she was about to switch the interface, she heard a familiar annoying voice.

"You’re here? I thought you resigned." Zhang Yu would never admit, upon hearing the System’s voice, that she felt relieved.

The System chuckled awkwardly, "Not resigned, I almost got fired."

Fired? Zhang Yu was actually joking earlier, as a System, how could it exist the concept of resignation, but she never expected the System would say it almost got fired.

Zhang Yu found this amusing, "You, as a System, could actually get fired?"

The System let out a long sigh, "Being fired means the Main System feels I’m not up to par, not making an effort, in short, not meeting the Main System’s standards."

"I was about to be deleted from the System, cease to exist completely," the System couldn’t help but lament.

What, so serious? Zhang Yu froze, starting to panic, "If my completed tasks aren’t good enough, does that mean I also shouldn’t exist?"

"Will it be an instant wipeout?" Zhang Yu’s voice trembled as she spoke.

The System didn’t expect its casual complaint to scare Zhang Yu, "Don’t worry, the Main System only wipes us out, it won’t wipe you out."

"And currently, there aren’t many people taking on tasks."

"Especially model workers like you, they are really rare."

"The Main System even praised you, saying they hoped we could encourage more Task Takers to actively participate in tasks."

Listening to the System’s murmurs, Zhang Yu remembered that the Main System recognized her, indicating her strength should be decent.

Suddenly, she felt much more at ease, "You say the Main System remembers me, and praises me like this, shouldn’t there be some acknowledgment?"

"There is, I’m now a Second-level System."

"I’ve upgraded, I always thought I would take ages to upgrade to a Second-level System." The System was genuinely happy, knowing that among his peers, not only did some not upgrade, but some ceased to exist altogether.

He actually got upgraded, and he believed that one day, he would rise to Third-Level, Fourth-level System, and when the Main System upgrades, he would surely become the new generation Main System.

The System Boy got upgraded! Though she didn’t know what benefits the upgrade had for the System, she knew it had her contributions.

"System, you said you upgraded because of me. I shouldn’t get no benefit at all, right?" Zhang Yu was full of anticipation.

Ah, the System didn’t anticipate, he just wanted to rant a bit, and ended up being caught by Zhang Yu, even forced to bleed.

For the System, this was like a death sentence, "Well, Little Yu, my dear Little Yu, you know I can’t possibly only have you as a Task Taker."

The System rambled various excuses, in short, it didn’t want to give any benefits.

Zhang Yu wasn’t in a hurry. She knew tasks were scarce now, even the Main System was constantly anxious.

"It’s fine, I’m just a bit tired lately and want to take a break." Zhang Yu opened the interface, directly selected 999 movies, plus a few complete sets of anime, setting a stance that she wouldn’t participate in tasks until she finished watching.

The System was startled by Zhang Yu’s maneuver, "Little Yu, Little Yu, look, as a System, what could I possibly give you."

"I can give you Points, later, later I’ll give you an extra twenty percent in Points for your completed tasks?" The System ceded its maximum Points authority.

Points? Zhang Yu sneered, signaling the System to check her Points.

The System didn’t need to check Zhang Yu’s Points, knowing this wouldn’t entice her at all.

What to do? The System panicked, he had just succeeded in his promotion, and if Zhang Yu took a rest and stopped doing tasks, what would happen if the Main System found out?

In this precarious moment, it’s best not to draw the Main System’s attention, the System sighed lightly, having no choice but to start negotiating with Zhang Yu.
