"What's wrong?" Gu Yu Cheng asked as he saw Su Rui standing by the road.
"Well, it seems that something was pressed on, and the tyre has burst." Su Rui replied.
"Are you alright?" Looking at the girl in front of him, Gu Yu Cheng subconsciously asked.
This question seemed to be unnecessary?
Gu Yu Cheng realised that and slightly frowned after he asked the question.
However, since the question had already been asked, it can't be withdrawn.
Fortunately, Chairman Gu still had a calm expression on his face.
Hearing this, Su Rui froze for a moment. She smiled and said, "I'm alright."
While in her heart, she added a point to her blind date.
Not bad, not bad. He still knows how to care for people.
"Then, you..."
Initially, Su Rui wanted to exchange greetings and asked if he just got off from work, but it seemed that the direction where Gu Yu Cheng came from wasn't right.
"You are heading to work?"
"Yes." Gu Yu Cheng nodded and didn't explain much about it.
"Where are you going?" Gu Yu Cheng asked as he stared at Su Rui. He thought about it and added, "Going home?"
"En, yes." Su Rui nodded her head.
"I will give you a ride."
"Hm?" Su Rui was stunned and was about to refuse subconsciously.
However, Su Rui changed her mind the next second.
Su Rui didn't have a chance to date, anyone, before. She didn't have much experience, let alone the experiences after a blind date.
But, relationships need to be managed. This sentence should be correct.
"Then..." Su Rui thought and said, "Which direction are you heading to, will it be convenient?"
"It is convenient."
"Get in the car?"
"Ok." Su Rui smiled towards Gu Yu Cheng and nodded her head.
"Hold on." Su Rui went over to Lao Zhang and informed him about it.
"Then, I will sit in the back seat?" Su Rui asked as she was about to open the door.
At this time, Gu Yu Cheng responded.
"Cough, Sorry."
A trace of unnaturalness flashed on his face. Gu Yu Cheng opened the door to the passenger seat for Su Rui.
In the car, Su Rui initially wanted to inform Mother Su.
However, when Su Rui was about to take out her phone, the other party had already called her.
"Mum."
"Lao Zhang said that you left in Gu Yu Cheng's car?"
"Uh, yes, we met him on the way home."
After Su Rui said this, Madam Liu, who is on the other end of the phone, seemed to be silent for a few seconds.
"Then let him take you straight home, ok? Don't go to other places." Liu Yue said with a little tension and seriousness in her tone.
"Cough, I know Mum." Regarding Mother Su's concern, Su Rui smiled helplessly and said.
She subconsciously glanced at Gu Yu Cheng, who was next to her and driving the car. She said in her heart, "Is Madam Liu worrying a little early?"
Gu Yu Cheng and her have only recognised each other, and are beginning to understand each other.
"I'll be home soon, don't worry."
"Oh, by the way," said Su Rui as she thought about the evening's lesson. "If Teacher Li Na has arrived, please help me inform her, and ask her to help me check the case study that I wrote yesterday. I'll be there soon and will be slightly late. "
"There are classes in the evening?" Gu Yu Cheng asked after Su Rui ended the call.
"En."
"On Economics?" Gu Yu Cheng asked again.
He remembered that when they met the day before yesterday, Mrs Su seemed to have mentioned it.
He initially thought that the other party was just looking for an excuse and didn't expect it to be true.
Gu Yu Cheng thought highly of Su Rui subconsciously.
"Yes." Su Rui nodded.
"Do you have anything that you don't understand?"
"Erm, I am currently learning basic knowledge, and it is not too difficult for the time being." Su Rui replied honestly.
The courses prepared by Li Na belong to the category of living off her past's knowledge. Thus, fortunately, Su Rui 'learns' very fast.
Otherwise, with such an excellent opportunity, Su Rui will seize the opportunity to consult with Gu Yu Cheng.
After returning home that day, Su Rui searched online for information about Gu Yu Cheng.
After checking, she then knows that the person beside her is a real big shot. [1]
From taking over the company when he was in university, Gu Yu Cheng's resume is almost good as a fake one. Moreover, when he was studying economics and management, he was an exceptional scholar lord[2] who would always get a scholarship and various awards until his hands were numb!
In such a comparison, Gu Yu Cheng can no longer be called "another family's child", but the child living in a template.
As she thought about it, Su Rui couldn't help but faintly look at Gu Yu Cheng in envy.
"What's the matter?"
"I have a question to seek your advice on."
"What is it?"
"My economic and management teacher suggested that I could attend a trainee program. If I want to have experiences that are helpful for my course of study, which position do you think I should work for?" As Su Rui thought of Li Na's advice, Su Rui asked the question earnestly.
Su Rui has asked Father Su on this question before. Unfortunately, old comrade Lao Su said the following sentences after hearing the question: There is no need for a position. You can follow your father around and see how I, your father, manage the company every day. I can guarantee you that you will know how to do everything.
Su Rui decided to look for a more professional person to ask this question because she found what Lao Su had said were unreliable.
Hearing Su Rui's words, Gu Yu Cheng was slightly stunned and immediately began to analyse Su Rui's question.
"It depends on the direction of your learning. If you are focusing on basic knowledge and theoretical knowledge, you can choose the economic analysis department. This area of academic knowledge is relatively comprehensive. If you are focusing on the direction of management, you can..." Gu Yu Cheng made a very pertinent analysis.
As Gu Yu Cheng spoke about it, in the corner of his eyes, he saw that the passenger beside him's eyes were gleaming. The corner of his mouth involuntarily rose slightly.
"Also, there is another position."
"Hm? What is it?"
"Cough, forget it," said Gu Yu Cheng as he looked at Su Rui. "that doesn't suit you."
Su Rui: What is it exactly?
Since Gu Yu Cheng didn't say, she felt even more curious instead.
"When do you plan to start?"
"En, I will finish the basic courses of the first and second year of the university first." Su Rui thought about it and said.
From the second day of lessons, Li Na sped up the course progression. At this speed, she can finish studying the foundation possibly in one month where she would score 60 marks should be sufficient...
After that, if she has time, she can attend trainee program.
"You can start now if you have time during the day."
"Really?"
"But..." Su Rui was a bit troubled. Although she studied a course related to what she is studying now, she had only done the basic odd jobs after graduation. Then, she laid on the hospital bed for three years.
If she was going to be a trainee in a company now, Su Rui was a little timid.
"Some things cannot be learnt by memorising." Gu Yu Cheng said as he saw Su Rui's hesitation.
"If you have practical experiences, your understanding of the textbook's knowledge would be faster."
