Su Rou had been feeling her body unusually heavy these past couple of days. She wondered if it was because of the tiring work, as she always felt she couldn't get enough rest.
"Xiaorou'er, what's wrong with you?" Su Yuze asked. Although Su Rou was slender and thin, she was usually in good health. Why did she look so pale today?
Su Rou shook her head. "I'm fine." She just felt extremely exhausted, but there was no specific discomfort.
"Is it because you've been overloaded with work recently?" Was that why her body was giving in? He reached out and gently touched her forehead. It wasn't hot; instead, it was a bit cool. "Are you cold?"
"No."
"Maybe I should give you a few days off. Since I'm back at Shengshi, you don't have to push yourself so hard." Su Yuze lovingly kissed her forehead and discussed with her.
"No, I'm really okay," Su Rou said. "I want to go to work with you." She had gotten used to this over the past period and wanted to be with him.
Su Yuze raised his eyebrows slightly. "If you get sick because of this, don't blame me for firing you."
Su Rou slapped him. "How dare you! I'm the president's wife!"
"The wife should take care of the household while I handle the outside affairs."
"What? Do you want to fire me and find a young and beautiful secretary instead?"
Su Yuze stuffed a small bun into Su Rou's mouth. "There's no one younger and more beautiful than you."
"All men are like this."
"We've been together for nineteen years..." Nineteen years! How many couples could be like them? For nineteen years, Su Yuze had put all his heart and soul into Su Rou. How could he have the mood to care about others?
Su Rou smiled. "Yes."
"Come with me to the old mansion this weekend to visit Grandpa. We'll also tell him that we've already got our marriage certificates," Su Yuze said.
"Okay."
After breakfast, they went to Shengshi. Su Rou brewed herself a cup of coffee to boost her energy while working.
While Su Rou was concentrating on her work, she suddenly heard the sound of high - heels behind her. She thought it was someone from the 30th floor coming to deliver documents, so she didn't say a word. But soon, someone patted her on the shoulder. "Are you President Su's secretary?"
It was a strange voice. Su Rou looked up curiously. "Yes. Who are you?"
"I'm Yang Moxi, the secretary of the general manager of Su Corporation."
Su Rou nodded in understanding. "Hello, Secretary Yang. What can I do for you?" Since Su Corporation and Shengshi were now part of the same family, Su Rou was still polite to this woman.
Yang Moxi had never met Su Rou before, so she naturally didn't know her relationship with Su Yuze. She thought Su Rou was just an ordinary secretary. "I'm here to see your president. Is he inside?"
"Yes, he is..." Su Rou sized her up and her eyes fell on the things in her hands. She squinted slightly. "Secretary Yang, are you here for a job interview?"
Yang Moxi looked at the things in her hands and then gave a charming smile. "Yes. Since Su Corporation and Shengshi are basically the same, this shouldn't count as job - hopping, right?"
Su Rou suddenly laughed. "What position are you applying for?"
"Of course, it's the secretary position. And if I can get a better one, that would be great," Yang Moxi said with a beaming smile. "Maybe we'll become partners."
Su Rou also smiled politely. "Okay. I wish you success. By the way, my name is Su Rou."
"I will..." Yang Moxi was about to walk into the office when she suddenly stopped, turned around sharply, and asked, "Your name is Su Rou?"
"Yes."
"Are you the president's girlfriend?" Yang Moxi's face changed, and then it instantly flushed. She had actually said in front of Su Yuze that she wanted to seduce him. "You, you lied to me!"
"What benefit would I get from lying to you?"
"… You want me to back off!" Yang Moxi frowned. "I don't believe it."
Su Rou pursed her lips. "If you don't believe me, that's okay. Go ahead with your interview."
Yang Moxi hesitated for a moment, still sounding a bit incredulous. "You... Are you really Su Rou?" She still couldn't quite believe it. Since she was the president's girlfriend, why would the president let her come out to work? And Su Rou, why didn't she just stay at home and be a comfortable rich wife instead of coming out to work?
"Are you really?"
"Yes."
Su Rou didn't want to explain anything more to Yang Moxi. She made a "please" gesture towards the president's office.
If Su Rou was really the president's girlfriend, then her visit today was at the wrong time. Su Rou might very well cause trouble!
So, Yang Moxi needed to confirm Su Rou's identity. She walked up to Su Rou. "You can't just claim to be the president's girlfriend!"
Looking at Yang Moxi's expression, Su Rou felt impatient. She picked up the receiver of the inter - office phone on the desk. "Well, you can talk to the president yourself."
Yang Moxi didn't expect Su Rou to call the president so directly. She was startled. "What are you doing!" What if the president really came out?
Yang Moxi underestimated how much Su Yuze cared about Su Rou. Even though the inter - office phone rang only once, Su Yuze took it seriously.
"I believe you," Yang Moxi frowned and thought for a while. It seemed that today was really not a good time to meet Su Yuze and talk about the "job interview." She would have to wait until Su Yuze went to Su Corporation. But... Xiaoka said that the president would now spend most of his time at Shengshi. How long would she have to wait for him to go to Su Corporation?
"Then go ahead with your interview," Su Rou said and shifted her gaze back to the computer.
How could she still go for the interview? "No, I'll leave first." She'd talk about it next time. After all, Su Yuze wasn't going anywhere.
"Up to you."
Yang Moxi glanced at Su Rou and silently cursed in her heart. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard the door of the president's office open. "Xiaorou'er, what's going on?"
"P, President..." Yang Moxi was startled. Why did the president come out!
Su Yuze looked at Yang Moxi and finally fixed his gaze on Su Rou. "What happened?"
Su Rou stood up. "Well, this Miss Yang, she..."
"Hey!" Yang Moxi was afraid that Su Rou would snitch on her, so she quickly reached out and tugged at Su Rou's arm.
"Don't touch her," Su Yuze said coldly.
Su Rou was involuntarily shaken by Yang Moxi's sudden tug. When she tried to pull her arm back, a sudden dizziness hit her. Her eyes instantly lost focus, and her whole body slumped softly towards Yang Moxi.
Su Yuze took a quick step forward and waved Yang Moxi away. "What did you do?"
Su Rou closed her eyes, and her face was a bit pale.
"I, I didn't... I didn't do anything," Yang Moxi said. She never expected that such a gentle tug would make Su Rou faint.
