Su Rui met Gu Yu Cheng at the lift on the 17th floor of the company.

"You're going out?" Su Rui asked strangely as she saw Gu Yu Cheng walking towards her within a second as the man seemed to be in a hurry.

Just as Su Rui wanted to suggest that if Gu Yu Cheng had something that he needed to go out for, she would put down the vacuum flask and head back.

But Gu Yu Cheng stopped on his foot.

"I'm not going out."

"So, you are?"

"Nothing. I happened to pass by." Gu Yu Cheng seemed to pause for two second before responding to Su Rui's words.

Su Rui didn't really understand Gu Yu Cheng. So, when Su Rui heard what Gu Yu Cheng said she nodded.

Instead, Wang Zhou, who was in charge of picking up Su Rui , couldn't help but snicker twice.

Their chairman wanted to go out, how would he as an assistant not know about it?

As for passing by.

Haha, have you seen anyone heading to the elevator considered as passing by.

I'm afraid that the Chairman is....

While Wang Zhou was gossiping in his head, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He turned around and he found that their chairman was glaring at him. His eyes were warning him.

Wang Zhou quickly turned away. Gu Yu Cheng subconsciously looked at Su Rui. Then he quickly withdrew his line of sight and said, "Let's go to my office."

I won't be disturbing you right?

Su Rui was about to habitually ask out of courtesy. But, when she was about to say it she stopped.

"Mhm, okay." Su Rui smiled towards Gu Yu cheng and nodded her head.

"Then, Chairman, there is another inspection tomorrow. Let me arrange it first?" Assistant Wang, who understood the situation said carefully.

"Go ahead."

"Then this..." Wang Zhou motioned to lift the vacuum flask.

"Pass it to me."

Gu Yu Cheng took the vacuum flask and brought Su Rui to his office.

Gu Yu Cheng took a step forward, while Su Rui was one step behind.

No matter whether in her previous life or after transmigrating, Su Rui's appearance, height and body size have not changed much from her own in the past.

With a height of 169cm, no matter how you describe it, it would be considered long legs.

While Su Rui was walking behind Gu Yu Cheng, she couldn't keep up with him.

"Gu Yu Cheng."

"What's wrong?" Hearing Su Rui's voice, Gu Yu Cheng froze for a moment. He stopped and looked back to find that Su Rui had fallen behind several steps.

"Slow down."

"Sorry."

"Cough, let's go."

This time, Gu Yu Cheng's pace slowed down.

But isn't it too slow?

Su Rui complained in her heart and felt it was a little amusing.

Both of them finally arrived in the chairman's office.

Gu Yu Cheng's office was like his personality. Simple and reserved.

It's just that with a 100sqm office, to be as simple as this, wouldn't he feel horrified?

"What's wrong?" As he saw that Su Rui's expression seemed to be strange when looking around at the office, Gu Yu Cheng asked.

"It's nothing." Su Rui added after a pause. "It's just my first time visiting the legendary chairman's office."

There's a problem. Gu Yu Cheng frowned.

"Would you like to look around?" Gu Yu Cheng asked.

"There's no need." It's hard for people to enjoy this kind of office, right?

"Cough, Gu Yu Cheng." Su Rui finally couldn't help but looked at him and voiced her suggestions, "I think you can really put more green plants in your office."

As he heard Su Rui's words, Gu Yu Cheng was a little surprised. The next second, there was a slight curve on his lips and said, "Ok."

"Is there anything else?" Gu Yu Cheng asked again, "I mean any suggestion."

Su Rui: I suggest you re-renovate it.

Su Rui couldn't tell the truth.

"Well, nothing more."

"Oh yes," As Su Rui thought, she pointed at the vacuum flask, "Auntie Yu especially cooked soup for you ."

Su Rui wanted to say that when he was free, he should remember to drink it.

But as soon as she was about to say it. Gu Yu Cheng already opened the lid of the vacuum flask.

There was no anticipated heat and fragrance.

She noticed that Gu Yu Cheng's expression appeared to solidify for a moment. Su Rui looked suspiciously at the soup in the vacuum flask in front of him.

At one glance, Su Rui's expression became more subtle than that of Gu Yu Cheng.

Are you sure this is soup? She didn't take the wrong vacuum flask, right?

Su Rui saw that half of the vacuum flask was clear and there were a few vegetables floating and added a bit of oil in the "soup", Su Rui's mouth twitched.

Even if Madam Yu wanted to pretend, she should have at least prepared a rather presentable soup?

At least give the vacuum flask some face[1]? Are you sure that this was "soup" with no warmth, is this a joke?

Su Rui didn't know that Mrs Gu was certain that Gu Yu Cheng wouldn't touch that vacuum flask, that was why she dared to do this.

Previously, when Gu Yu Cheng didn't return home, Mrs Gu did send servants from home to give him some food or soup to the company.

But, this unfilial son didn't even drink it, and the more infuriating thing was, he sent it home without opening the lid.

This time, Yu Jing asked Su Rui to send Gu Yu Cheng the soup because initially she heard news that Gu Yu Cheng would be in the company this afternoon so she came up with this idea.

There was no time to even cook a soup.

This was why Yu Jing asked the kitchen staff to put in the stir fried mussels in it and found that the weight was not sufficient so they added water, that was how it was made.

[1] 面子(miàn zi)- Face. In this context, it would refer to dignity.
