Gu Xiaoxiao jogged toward the company, but halfway there, she suddenly stopped and stepped back a few paces.
Not far ahead, Su Yuerou was walking forward slowly, her brows furrowed.
"Yuerou?" Gu Xiaoxiao halted and walked over quickly. "What are you thinking about? Aren’t you in a hurry?"
"Huh?" Su Yuerou snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Gu Xiaoxiao in confusion.
Gu Xiaoxiao tugged her arm and said helplessly, "Still in the mood for a stroll? Hurry up, we’re going to be late!"
Pulling herself together, Su Yuerou nodded and ran into the company with Gu Xiaoxiao.
The two of them entered the archives room, chatting and laughing, only to find their boss inside, smiling apologetically at soone.
"Oh, you’re here!"
The boss grinned cheerfully when she saw them. "Manager Huang, see, I told you they’d be here soon."
"Yuerou, Xiaoxiao, co over here."
The two naturally noticed Manager Huang standing opposite their boss. The man, dressed sharply in business attire, was smiling faintly.
"Manager Huang, hello," Su Yuerou greeted politely.
Seeing this, Gu Xiaoxiao quickly followed suit with a greeting.
Manager Huang nodded slightly, his gaze shifting between the two of them.
"I heard from your boss that you’ve been doing quite well in the archives room."
They’ve only been there a few days—what achievents could they possibly have?
Su Yuerou smiled faintly. "Our boss loves to praise others, that’s all."
The boss glared at her and chuckled. "If you two weren’t working so hard, would I have reason to praise you? Yesterday, these two girls were a big help, finding docunts and organizing everything."
Manager Huang nodded in satisfaction and smiled. "Alright, here’s the plan: once the work in the archives room is finished, you two will transfer directly to the R&D departnt. Soone there will guide you."
The R&D departnt?
That was the core departnt of the entire IT company!
The two of them stared at Manager Huang, stunned, unable to process how joy could arrive so swiftly.
"Hey, hey! Why are you two just standing there like statues?" The boss nudged Su Yuerou anxiously. "Hurry and thank Manager Huang!"
Snapping out of their daze, the two hurriedly bowed their heads in gratitude.
Manager Huang smiled. "No need to thank . It’s natural for interns to rotate between departnts and learn as much as they can."
After delivering this delightful news, Manager Huang left.
Watching Manager Huang’s departing figure, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but sigh with admiration. "Manager Huang truly deserves his title—he has eyes that see through everyone."
Seeing her look of reverence, Su Yuerou patted her shoulder helplessly.
"Alright, stop idolizing him. See that? There’s still a mountain of docunts waiting for us over there!"
"..."
Following Su Yuerou’s gaze, Gu Xiaoxiao’s excitent instantly deflated like a balloon.
The good news they received so early in the day ended up fueling their work ethic, perfectly embodying what it ant to be diligent and proactive.
With their spirits high, Su Yuerou still had a smile on her face when she clocked out.
Returning to the Fu residence, Su Yuerou asked Ah Qi, "Is the Eldest Young Master upstairs?"
"In the study."
Su Yuerou nodded and trotted into the kitchen.
"Auntie, have the groceries been bought?" Su Yuerou asked with a cheerful smile.
The housekeeper nodded quickly. "They’re all here, not a single item missing. Take a look."
"Alright, thank you, Auntie. Let’s get started."
With the housekeeper’s help, Su Yuerou not only simred a pot of soup but also prepared two side dishes.
The side dishes were brightly colored and incredibly appetizing.
Carrying her creations upstairs, Su Yuerou paused in front of the study.
Ah Qi glanced at the items in her hands with a faint smile. "The Young Madam is getting better and better at cooking."
Su Yuerou chuckled and glanced at the study. "Is Mr. Fu in a good mood today?"
Ah Qi nodded. "He’s alright."
"That’s good."
With Ah Qi’s assistance, Su Yuerou knocked on the door.
A mont later, a cool voice ca from inside.
"Co in."
Su Yuerou imdiately grabbed the food container and pushed the door open.
Fu Yihan was seated at his desk, frowning deeply as he studied sothing.
Moving quietly to a nearby table, Su Yuerou spoke softly. "Mr. Fu, I made so soup. Would you like to take a break and have so?"
The man, still frowning, finally lifted his head and looked at her questioningly.
"Why soup?" he asked.
"Huh?" Su Yuerou blinked, caught off guard. "I just... just felt like making soup."
"Wanted to test your cooking skills?" Fu Yihan sneered. "Am I your guinea pig?"
"No... no!"
How could he interpret it that way? Flustered, Su Yuerou began to stamr, spouting a string of explanations, unsure of whether any of it made sense.
Yet, as Su Yuerou beca more anxious, Fu Yihan’s expression softened.
Staring at her flustered deanor, a slight smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. "Alright, stop explaining. The more you explain, the worse it sounds."
Su Yuerou forced a wry smile. "Mr. Fu, I truly didn’t an anything by it. This soup was made especially for you."
"Hmm, I see. Bring it here."
With his nonchalant expression and indifferent tone, it was as if he hadn’t been the one interrogating her monts ago.
Letting out a sigh of relief, Su Yuerou carried the food container over.
After serving the soup and laying out the side dishes, Su Yuerou smiled. "I also made so side dishes. Please give them a try."
Fu Yihan glanced at her with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Su Yuerou explained, "The housekeeper ntioned that having so side dishes to go along with the soup would make it less monotonous."
"Hmm."
Taking the chopsticks, Fu Yihan began eating in silence.
His dining habits were elegant and unhurried, a testant to years of discipline.
Thinking back to the Su family’s dining habits—where everyone seed eager to heap all the best food onto Su Yuerou’s younger sister, Su Xiaorou—it was far from the decorum expected of a prominent family.
"What are you thinking about?"
Snapping out of her thoughts, Su Yuerou realized the man eating had been watching her. She quickly replied, "Oh, nothing. I was just reminded of the ti I lived with the Su family."
The Su family?
Fu Yihan arched a brow. "Has the Fu family treated you poorly?"
"Not at all!" Su Yuerou gave a wry smile. "Grandpa has been so kind to , and you’ve been generous as well."
As for the others, they could simply be overlooked.
Fu Yihan snorted softly but refrained from further comnt.
Retracting his gaze, he turned back to his computer screen, his eyes flicking across the display.
Curious, Su Yuerou leaned closer and caught sight of the flashing code on his monitor. Her eyes widened in surprise. "Mr. Fu, do you write code yourself?"
Glancing at her out of the corner of his eye, Fu Yihan sneered. "If I don’t write code, who else is going to build up my company?"
Ah, that’s right! When his company was first founded, it only had a handful of employees, all of whom were tech-savvy experts—including him. How could she have overlooked that?
Su Yuerou’s face brightened with a sheepish smile. Lowering her voice, she said, "Mr. Fu, Manager Huang told us today that we’ll be interning in the R&D departnt soon."
"Oh?" Fu Yihan’s expression remained unchanged as he nodded calmly. "That’s good. The R&D departnt is the core of the company, and there are a lot of skilled people there."
"Exactly!" Su Yuerou said excitedly. "If I can pick up so skills there, I won’t have to worry about going hungry in the future."
