-顾煜城 (gù yù chéng)- Gu Yu Cheng, the male lead

Previously, Su Rui helped Mrs Gu to deliver “soup” to Gu Yu Cheng. Although it caused a lot of heated discussions, it was only within the members of the company’s “gossip group”.

Moreover, those people’s perception of Su Rui was just: Oh, look, another shameless person is here.

But, this time, when Su Rui revisited Gu Company, no one was talking about it behind her back.

Initially, even though Gu Yu Cheng didn’t make a big fanfare and banner to announce it to the whole world, he didn’t intentionally conceal it.

Therefore, some of the top executives in the company or people like Wang Zhou who worked by Gu Yu Cheng’s side, more or less already knew about the matter between the Chairman and the daughter of Su Hua group.

In addition with today, Gu Yu Cheng personally went to pick Su Rui up, the implication of which was already self-evident.

As for why no one talks about it, it is easy to explain.

Not to mention whether there will be relevant cooperation between the two enterprises in the future, but right now, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the Chairman bringing his real girlfriend, right?

At most, some people are curious about the appearance of Chairman Gu’s girlfriend.

When Gu Yu Cheng brought Su Rui to the company, Wang Zhou, as his assistant, was already waiting in the company.

“Chairman.” Wang Zhou said and bopped his head towards Su Rui and greeted, “Hello Miss Su.”

“Hello.” Su Rui looked towards him and said with a friendly smile. She added, “Thank you for last time.”

Su Rui was talking about the last time Wang Zhou went down to pick her up.

“Miss Su is too polite. It’s part of my duty.” Looking at Su Rui, Wang Zhou said with a smile.

In his heart, he couldn’t help but be a bit cock: Thanks to the advice he gave the Chairman last time. Otherwise, it would be a pity for Chairman Su to miss out on a girl like Miss Su.

At the side, Gu Yu Cheng was watching the interaction between both of them and slightly squinted his eyes and subconsciously blocked both of their lines of sight.

“Has the minutes of the meeting been sorted out?” Gu Yu Cheng raised his eyebrows and faintly swept a glance at Wang Zhou and asked.

“Uh, I have finished sorting them out.” Wang Zhou responded.

As Gu Yu Cheng heard this, his gaze looked at Wang Zhou with a slightly deep gaze, didn’t speak any further and walked away with Su Rui.

Looking at the man’s behaviour, Su Rui blinked her eyes.

She isn’t blind, how can she not see that Gu Yu Cheng’s behaviour was a little abnormal.

In this regard, Su Rui didn’t think Gu Yu Cheng would think much about this. Of course, it wasn’t that exaggerated to say that he was jealous.

It’s probably supposed to be a little bit of human instinct to be possessive.

The corner of Su Rui’s mouth slightly quirked. She didn’t think any further and followed Gu Yu Cheng to start her “Gu Company’s one day tour”.

As for Wang Zhou behind the two of them…

Ahem, well, the quick-witted him certainly saw a hint of what was meant in the Chairman’s deep glance at him just now.

Why do some people go to a mountain with tigers even though they know there is a tiger in the mountains? Isn’t it because they are curious?

So, today, Assistant Wang, who was usually very sagacious, hesitated for a moment but still couldn’t help being curious, peh! The very professional assistant accompanied the chairman and the chairman’s girlfriend behind.

In fact, Wang Zhou was simply curious about how their Chairman and his girlfriend would get along with each other and was also curious about the gossip between the two of them.

Following behind the two of them, Wang Zhou almost stretched his ears to listen to their conversation.

Unfortunately, the reality was destined to disappoint Wang Zhou.

Gu Yu Cheng took Su Rui on a tour in the Gu Company, and their conversation was mostly focused on some highlights of Gu Company’s projects as well as architecture and design.

Even if there is an occasional whisper or two between the lovers, there is nothing to gossip about since they were so open about it.

This tour and this interaction between them was too realistic.

Wang Zhou followed both of them, and his expression was slightly regretful.

But come to think of it, the reality isn’t an 8 o’clock romance drama, so how can there be those kinds of melodramatic scenes such as a domineering president and little white flower^[1], boss and the fool that appeared in all these application commercials popping up?

What’s more, for these two people, apart from not having to worry about the price of life’s daily necessities^[2] and housing prices, the two young people were originally in a normal romantic relationship, and there were no factors of cooperation and marriage of convenience between them.

Isn’t it the same as he and his girlfriend?

The author has something to say:

I saw some little angels’ comments worrying about it being dog blood^[3]?

Hahaha, don’t worry. The undertone of this novel is to live a good life without any dog blood.

^[1] 小白花(Xiǎo báihuā)- Little white flower. Similar to White Lotus Flower. It is people who are kind, innocent and lovable.

^[2] 柴米油盐酱醋茶- Life’s daily necessities. The literal meaning would mean firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy, vinegar and tea. In ancient times, these are the seven things necessary for ordinary people’s daily life, and it is also the seven things that ordinary people do for life every day. The arrangement and context of the seven things are related to the history of China. In modern days, the daily necessities are different from what it was in ancient times. Other than this meaning, it could refer to ‘things’ related to the vital interests of people.

^[3] 狗血[gǒuxiě]- dog blood/unbelievable/exaggerated/Melodramatic. Firstly, it could be describing trite and highly predictable movie or Tv drama scenes. Secondly, it could be relating to ludicrously unrealistic movie or TV drama scenes. Thirdly, it could relate to or characterised by schmaltz, dramatised sentimentalism, as in TV shows and movies. Lastly, it may be relating to life events that are ridiculous or infuriating.
