Although the Shengshi branch in the United States is not as large - scale as the headquarters, it still has a decent reputation, so there are quite a few employees in the branch. Recently, however, they heard that the president of Shengshi was coming to take over this branch, which surprised everyone. Why would the president abandon the well - established headquarters and come to take over a branch?
Ian entered the president's office, placed the documents in his hand on Su Yuze's desk, and then said, "I've got some leads on the girl you asked me to investigate the day before yesterday."
Hearing this, Su Yuze put down his current work and looked up at Ian. "Go on."
Seeing Su Yuze listening so attentively, a smile crept onto Ian's lips. The president was really concerned about this little girl! He hadn't listened this carefully when the assistant reported on the performance and annual profit yesterday.
"According to our informant, Su Rou is a new resident in the United States who arrived last week. She is currently living in the Wen family... It's not clear yet exactly what her relationship with the Wen family is. But Wen Haotian transferred Su Rou to the University of Washington yesterday, and she's majoring in finance." Ian reported exactly as it was written in the documents.
From the documents, the girl Su Rou seemed quite mysterious. Since Su Yuze had told him not to investigate what happened to Su Rou before she came to the United States, he had only superficially investigated her activities since she arrived.
"Finance..." Su Yuze stroked his chin and softly murmured the word. He remembered that he had once told Su Rou that he could pull some strings to make her his secretary, so she had been determined to learn finance well. He didn't expect that even after coming to the United States, she still wanted to master finance, probably for his sake.
What a stubborn little Rou. This trait was really... cute!
Oh? Ian gave Su Yuze an ambiguous look. What was the president thinking about? He was smiling so... warmly.
"President?" Ian tried to call out.
Su Yuze came back to his senses. He twirled the pen in his hand skillfully, creating a beautiful pen - spinning trick. "The University of Washington, huh?"
"Yes."
"I see."
Ian nodded. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Su Yuze say behind him, "Ian, go and investigate Wen Haotian's information again. This time, I want detailed and accurate information."
"Yes, President."
Wen Haotian wanted to take little Rou back to the Wen family. His intentions were probably not pure. Su Yuze had to figure it out.
...
Su Rou was picked up and dropped off by the Wen family's driver every day, while Wen Tong was much more casual. She often stayed in her classmates' dormitories. Wen Haotian and Yao Yu seemed to be used to it. They would just make a phone call occasionally to make sure Wen Tong was safe.
"Xiao Rou, how's school life?" Wen Haotian asked kindly.
"Um, it's okay."
When facing Wen Haotian, Su Rou always remained expressionless. But Wen Haotian was not discouraged. He still picked up some food for her and said, "Eat more. Don't starve... Tell me if you want to eat anything. I'll ask Aunt Yue to cook it."
"Um."
After Su Rou took a couple of bites, seeing that Wen Haotian was about to pick up more food for her, she immediately said, "If you pick up more food for me, I won't eat."
"..."
Wen Haotian withdrew his hand and then began to eat silently.
Yao Yu, sitting across from Wen Haotian, looked up at Su Rou. Her eyes seemed to contain a lot. Since the first day Su Rou came, she had talked to Su Rou, but in the following days, Yao Yu hadn't spoken to her again.
Of course, Wen Haotian didn't let her have too much contact with Su Rou. Usually, Yao Yu would go back to her bedroom after dinner. Su Rou didn't care at all. She didn't want these so - called parents in the first place. It was better that they didn't bother her.
The next day, when Su Rou went to school for class, Jiang Ling came to audit the finance courses again. It was more like he came to accompany Su Rou rather than auditing.
"Did you also major in finance at T University? You seem very proficient." Jiang Ling said.
"Yeah." Su Rou replied while taking notes.
It was strange. What on earth made Su Rou transfer to a school in the United States?
After a morning of classes, Su Rou closed her books and let out a long breath. "Phew..."
"Tired?"
"Not really."
Su Rou and Jiang Ling had lunch at school. Su Rou had heard that the fast - food here could easily make people gain weight, because she had already seen several fat people. They were so overweight, yet they still kept stuffing those high - calorie foods into their mouths. It was a bit of a sad sight.
Seeing that Su Rou didn't eat much, Jiang Ling couldn't help but say, "Xiao Rou, eat more. You don't need to lose weight."
"I'm not trying to lose weight." She just wanted to maintain her current weight.
There were no classes this afternoon, so Su Rou planned to leave school first. Jiang Ling was a bit reluctant to part with her, so he offered to see her off.
When they reached the school gate, Su Rou casually caught sight of a man leaning against a car outside. Su Rou squinted her eyes slightly, double - checked several times, and then a big smile spread across her lips.
"Xiao Rou..." Jiang Ling looked at Su Rou in confusion. Why was she suddenly so happy? This was the first time in these days that he had seen Su Rou smile so happily.
"I'm leaving first." Su Rou said, and then quickly walked towards the school gate.
"Hey..." Jiang Ling wanted to call her back, but seeing Su Rou walking away so quickly, he finally lowered his hand.
Su Rou walked out of the school gate. There weren't many pedestrians at the school gate at noon, but the handsome man leaning against a luxury car was always a shining star, attracting the gazes of countless women. However, the man seemed oblivious. His eyes were only fixed on the girl running out of the school.
"Brother Ze." Su Rou walked over. Her long hair was a bit messy because she had walked so fast.
"Um." Su Yuze pulled Su Rou into his arms and softly said, "Did you miss me?"
"Yeah."
Su Rou tilted her head up in his arms. "You came faster than I expected." She had originally thought that Su Yuze would come here within at least a month, but unexpectedly, he had arrived within half a month.
"If I hadn't come quickly, my little girlfriend would have been snatched away by another man." Su Yuze said with a faint smile.
"Huh?"
"Wasn't that guy just now Jiang Ling?" Did he think he hadn't seen? How could he not recognize the boy who had walked out side by side with Su Rou just now?
Su Rou nodded. "Yes."
"You found another man when I was away?" Su Yuze planted a kiss on her forehead.
"No. I just found out that he studies in this school." Su Rou explained. "Are you jealous?"
"Um... a bit."
