When Xiao Ka saw Su Yuze approaching, he didn't think much of it. After all, what had just happened seemed like a dream. It felt so surreal!
"CEO, are you okay just now?" Although it seemed that Su Yuze had bumped into that foreigner, this was just an appearance. Maybe the CEO was injured too?
"I'm fine."
Well, it seemed that he was indeed okay.
Su Yuze entered the conference hall. Many business owners were already there, but a few who were still within the allotted time hadn't arrived yet.
"CEO, do we need to call and remind them?" Maybe the other bosses were busy with something else, and it was okay as long as they arrived within the stipulated time.
"Yeah, go and make the call." Su Yuze said to Xiao Ka, then turned to the bosses already in the meeting room and said, "Let's start."
The bosses looked at each other for a while. Su Yuze was the biggest investor in this cooperation project, which meant he was the major shareholder. He decided when the meeting would start. "Okay, Mr. Su."
Then Su Yuze began the meeting. What was supposed to be a long - drawn - out meeting was shortened significantly by Su Yuze, but the efficiency was quite high. However, the two business owners who came in last seemed to have missed the earlier part of the meeting.
"Mr. Su, we're sorry for being late."
"Yeah." Su Yuze replied indifferently, showing no obvious emotion.
"What about the earlier content..." They hadn't participated in the previous part. What should they do?
"Ask others." Su Yuze said coldly. He didn't have the leisure to repeat the meeting content for these two latecomers.
The two bosses could only look at each other awkwardly. Finally, they resigned themselves to their fate and walked to their seats, planning to ask others after the meeting.
A few minutes before 5 p.m., Su Yuze ended the meeting. "That's all. If you still have questions, contact my assistant, Xiao Ka."
After two hours of the meeting, everyone was so eager to go to the toilet that as soon as Su Yuze announced the end, more than half of the bosses left immediately.
The remaining people looked towards Su Yuze. "Mr. Su, how about going out for dinner together? I'll treat."
"No need." Su Yuze refused without hesitation. "I still have something to do."
"Still have work? Then next time..." There were many things they wanted to talk to Su Yuze about privately.
While packing up the notebook in front of him, Su Yuze said, "There won't be a next time. I don't go out at night."
"Ah, I see..." The slightly plump man awkwardly scratched his nose. Mr. Su was really so blunt when rejecting people!
Before the bosses could react, Su Yuze had already left. Xiao Ka stayed in the meeting room, smiling at the bosses. "Bosses, if you still have questions, you're welcome to consult me. The CEO has briefed me on all the meeting content."
"Xiao Ka, I only have one question... Is your CEO really busy?" Otherwise, why was he in such a hurry to leave? "I heard that Su Yuze manages two companies. It must be very hard for him, right?"
Xiao Ka smiled and looked at the boss in a probing way. "Sorry, Mr. Song. I only answer questions about the meeting content. I don't know much about the CEO's personal affairs."
Although Mr. Song was just asking casually, Xiao Ka could tell that he actually wanted to get some information about the CEO indirectly. Having been an assistant for so many years, Xiao Ka had seen all kinds of bosses. He could guess Mr. Song's intention.
Mr. Song thought for a while and continued, "I know. I just really want to invite Mr. Su."
"I see. Then you can call to make an appointment with the CEO."
"..." Mr. Song's breath caught in his throat. This Xiao Ka really didn't leave any room for people! "Okay, I got it."
...
Su Yuze checked the time. It was already past 5 p.m. This was the latest he had been home. He wondered if Xiao Rou'er would be worried.
When he returned to the Su family villa, Su Rou was sitting on the sofa, watching TV while holding some preserved plums. She looked very well - behaved. "Xiao Rou'er."
Su Yuze took off his coat and sat beside Su Rou. Seeing her peel a preserved plum and hold it to his lips, he gently shook his head. "I don't eat this." This thing was extremely sour. Maybe only pregnant women could stand it. He didn't want his teeth to be so weak that he couldn't even bite into tofu.
Su Rou pouted. If he didn't eat, she would!
"Xiao Rou'er."
"Hmm?"
Su Yuze looked at her profile somewhat dejectedly. "I came home later than usual today. Don't you even ask me about it?" Usually, he would be home by 4 p.m., sometimes even 3 p.m. He had been so late today, but why didn't Xiao Rou'er show any reaction?
"Ask you what?" Su Rou countered.
"Aren't you curious why I came home so late?" There was a hint of annoyance in Su Yuze's tone.
This time, Su Rou stopped eating and looked at Su Yuze helplessly. "Brother Ze..."
"Yes."
"I want to say that it's normal for you to come home at this time. It was the times when you came home before the end of work that really made me curious."
Su Yuze raised his eyebrows. "Xiao Rou'er, you don't care about me anymore?"
"...... Then why did you come home so late?" Su Rou asked following his words. Oh, God! It wasn't even 5:30 p.m. yet. How was it late?
"I had a meeting." Su Yuze began to explain seriously. "There was a large - scale cooperation project today. This meeting was supposed to last for a while, but I shortened it."
Su Rou had attended such meetings with Su Yuze before. She knew that large - scale meetings usually took three or four hours. She didn't expect Su Yuze to be able to shorten it.
"Did you do it to come home earlier?" Su Rou asked.
"Yeah."
"..." Su Rou smiled at him. "Here, give you a kiss as compensation."
Su Yuze was satisfied, and even the corners of his eyebrows were filled with a smile. "Just one?" With that, he pounced on her and planted a solid kiss on Su Rou's lips, lingering and kissing.
"Young master, miss, dinner is ready." Aunt Wang had finished cooking and called out in the living room.
Su Rou blushed slightly and stood up from the sofa. "I'll go upstairs to put something away."
"Okay. Remember to wash your hands."
When Su Rou came downstairs, she glanced at the entrance and then asked, "Brother Ze, your leather shoes are a bit dirty. Remember to ask Aunt Wang to polish them." Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to go out like this.
"Okay."
Su Yuze glanced at the entrance. The stains on the leather shoes must have been rubbed off when he collided with that man.
Thinking of that middle - aged man, Su Yuze pursed his lips thoughtfully.
