"Um, you didn't abuse Little Cutie, did you?" If Su Rou saw that Little Cutie had lost weight, Yu Feng would be in big trouble.
"Of course not. It eats whatever I eat. It's fatter than a pig," Yu Feng replied. He would never abuse Little Cutie. After all, it was his sweetheart Su Rou's beloved dog. He had been spoiling it with the best food and care, just like he did for Su Yuze and Su Rou.
"That's more like it."
...
Su Rou was filling out the quarterly report at her desk outside when she suddenly heard the clattering sound of high - heeled shoes on the smooth floor. In this quiet space, the sound was extremely harsh.
The figure in high - heels was getting closer. Su Rou looked up and saw Lian Shuang, all dressed up, holding a stack of documents in her arms. When she saw Su Rou, she raised her chin haughtily, pretended not to see her, and walked straight past.
Without hesitation, Su Rou grabbed Lian Shuang's arm. "You can't go in."
Lian Shuang turned around. "I'm here to deliver documents to the president." In other words, since she was here on official business, why was she being stopped?
"The president is having a meeting with a guest. You can't go in," Su Rou said firmly. She was determined not to let Lian Shuang in. This woman was clearly up to no good when she came to deliver documents to the president. "By the way, shouldn't I, as the secretary, be the one to hand these things to the president?"
"Don't forget, Miss Su Rou, I used to be a secretary too," Lian Shuang retorted. If that was the case, she was even Su Rou's senior.
"You said 'used to be'," Su Rou smiled. "When you become a secretary again, I won't stop you... For now, please hand over the documents to me and go back to your work station."
How dare Su Rou be so blunt! "I think I'd better deliver them to the president in person," Lian Shuang said.
"Didn't I tell you? The president is in a meeting. You're so pretty, but why do you have such a bad ear?" Su Rou still held onto Lian Shuang's arm, not allowing her to pass.
"You..." Lian Shuang took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress her urge to hit someone. She couldn't do anything to Su Rou for now. After all, she was still the president's sister. If Su Rou complained to the president, her plan would be ruined. "I'll wait until the guest leaves. Is that okay?"
"Just a friendly reminder. If you leave your work station without permission for more than half an hour and don't inform your superior, 5% of your salary will be deducted."
It seemed that Su Rou knew all about Shengshi's regulations!
"I'm still working, aren't I?" Lian Shuang waved the documents in her hand, looking as proud as ever.
"But this isn't your work station," Su Rou said, amused. "Lian Shuang, you should know the company's rules better than I do."
Lian Shuang was seeing Su Rou's sharp tongue for the first time. Every word Su Rou said made sense, and she had no room to refute. Su Rou said that as a secretary who had been kicked out of the president's territory, Lian Shuang had no right to come up and see the president. She also said that Lian Shuang knew the company's rules but still needed a newbie like Su Rou to explain them to her...
Lian Shuang felt that she could hardly bear it anymore. Her hands holding the documents began to tremble slightly. "I must see the president today!" With that, she suddenly twisted her arm hard, trying to break free from Su Rou's grip.
But every girl has a bit of nail, and Su Rou was holding on tightly. Lian Shuang felt a sharp pain on her arm. "Ah—" she let out a scream and looked at her arm. Three red scratches were on it.
Seeing a large red patch on her fair arm, Lian Shuang was furious. "You, you dared to scratch me!"
"If you hadn't struggled, you wouldn't have gotten hurt," Su Rou spread her hands, looking rather innocent. It was clearly Lian Shuang's fault for struggling so hard. Why was she blaming Su Rou?
"You're being unreasonable!"
Just then, the office door suddenly opened. Lian Shuang rolled her eyes and came up with an idea. She suddenly threw all the documents in her hand and then sat down on the ground. "Ouch... ouch!"
When Su Yuze and Yu Feng walked out, they saw Lian Shuang sitting on the ground, moaning, and the documents scattered all over the floor. Su Yuze frowned slightly. "What's going on?"
Lian Shuang was secretly happy. Even the president's sister couldn't protect Su Rou this time, could she? She looked up at Su Rou and found that Su Rou was standing there calmly, with a faint smile on her lips. Lian Shuang thought that smile was mocking her.
"Are you mute?"
Lian Shuang came back to her senses and didn't care what Su Rou's smile meant. She covered her arm and cried to Su Yuze, "President, I was just being kind and coming to deliver some documents, but Miss Su Rou wouldn't let me in. That's not all. She even scratched me and pushed me to the ground... It hurts so much."
Then she showed her injured arm so that they could clearly see the wounds. She looked so pitiful, in contrast to Su Rou who was standing there watching. She really seemed like a poor, helpless victim.
Lian Shuang just wanted Su Yuze to see how barbaric his sister was and to show him that such a woman didn't deserve to be a secretary.
But Su Rou was surprisingly cooperative and didn't even refute her words. Was she scared silly?
Su Yuze walked over. Lian Shuang thought he was coming to help her up, but unexpectedly, Su Yuze walked straight past her and went to Su Rou.
"Are you hurt?" Su Yuze asked softly, looking her over to see if there were any injuries.
"I'm fine."
"Um, Yu Feng said he'd treat us to dinner. After that, we'll go to his place to pick up Little Cutie," Su Yuze checked the time. "We can go now."
"Okay," Su Rou replied.
Su Yuze took Su Rou's hand and was about to walk towards the elevator. "Yu Feng, let's go." After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and said to Lian Shuang, "Sort out the documents and put them on my desk."
Watching Su Yuze and Su Rou's backs fade away, Yu Feng shook his head and said to Lian Shuang still sitting on the ground, "Silly woman..." She actually had delusions about Su Yuze. Even if Su Rou didn't exist, a woman like Lian Shuang would never catch Yu Shao's eye.
"Let me give you a piece of advice. Yu Shao is out of your league. Hurry up and clean this up."
