Shen Ru raised her hand and knocked on the door three times. Su Yan's usual cold voice came from inside, "Come in."
She walked in calmly and said, "Boss Su, the provincial TV station called and wanted to invite you to a new interview program they launched."
"No." Su Yan refused without even raising his head.
Shen Ru had expected this answer. She sighed silently and said awkwardly, "But this is what President Su promised before."
This time Su Yan raised his eyes and looked at her, "My brother?"
"Yes, that's what the other party said." Although Su Yan usually had a cold face, Shen Ru somehow felt that Su Yan was not in a good mood today.
"Oh, you're really good at making trouble." Su Yan was obviously dissatisfied with Su Lei's behavior of leaving him with such a mess while he was on his honeymoon. He closed the document in his hand and looked at Shen Ru, "When?"
Shen Ru replied, "The other party said they are willing to cooperate with us. I checked and they have two hours tomorrow afternoon."
Su Yan stood up, re-tied the tie that had just loosened, put on his suit jacket, and gently patted out the wrinkles on it.
"Okay, I'll be out for a while." He reached out and picked up the car keys on the desk.
Su Yan drove out of the underground parking lot of the Twin Towers and drove aimlessly in the city. Seeing that he had not enough time to pass, he slowed down and prepared to stop slowly. A sports car behind him cut in front of him and rushed across the zebra crossing at the last moment.
Su Yan frowned and honked the horn hard. He felt that he could no longer suppress his irritability. This feeling of being on the verge of losing control was very dangerous. He rolled down the window to let fresh air flow into the car, trying to blow away the depressing atmosphere.
"Hi, Mr. Su." A bright red sports car had parked in the lane next door. Xia Linchen put his arm on the edge of the car window and waved to greet him.
Su Yan nodded to him, "Hello."
Xia Linchen seemed not to notice his indifference and continued on his own, as if he was going to have a heart-to-heart talk with him in the middle of the street.
"Boss Su got off work really early today." Xia Linchen said helplessly, "Cheng Kou and Yin Yin asked me to buy dinner, but I have some work to finish. Can you help me?"
Su Yan subconsciously wanted to refuse, but in the end he just hummed in disbelief.
Xia Linchen looked at him as if he had done something great, and threw a folded note to him with a smile, "Here is the address, please help me, thank you very much."
As soon as he finished speaking, the red light turned green. Su Yan and Xia Linchen didn't want to block the people behind them, so they started the car, turned left and drove straight in two different directions.
Su Yan opened the note, and saw the beautiful handwriting, which was obviously from Cheng Kou's hand. However, the dinner Xia Linchen mentioned was two pieces of Black Forest cake.
Cheng Kou and Shen Yinran were working overtime in the living room, and they were almost doing this for the entire day.
Shen Yinran's notebook was placed on the coffee table, and she sat cross-legged on the carpet, lazily editing the picture, the mouse clicking. Cheng Kou leaned cross-legged on the sofa, the computer on her knees, typing a line of words and then deleting it, she scratched her hair in annoyance.
The doorbell rang, and Shen Yinran yawned, "Lin Chen didn't bring his keys? Koubao, go open the door."
Seeing that she looked like she would never get up, Cheng Kou sighed, resignedly put the computer aside, and walked to the entrance in his slippers.
The door opened, but the face that appeared was not the one I expected.
Cheng Kou could imagine what he looked like without looking in the mirror. Although he wasn't unkempt, he was pretty close.
Oh my god, why does she always have to embarrass herself in front of Su Yan...
Cheng Kou slammed the door shut, which scared Shen Yinran. He ignored her drawing and looked at her curiously.
Cheng Kou leaned against the wooden door and said with a sad face, "Yinyin, it's Su Yan..."
Shen Yinran turned her attention back to her screen. She curled her lips and asked nonchalantly, "Oh, it's not like I haven't seen it before. Why are you so excited?"
"But he seems to be holding two cake boxes in his hands..." Cheng Kou raised his hand and made a gesture of
Shen Yinran almost dropped the computer by accident, and quickly steadied it. When she came to her senses, she didn't know what to say to Cheng Kou, "..."
Before Su Yan ran out of patience and rang the doorbell again, Cheng Kou opened the door again and looked at him apologetically.
Cheng Kou took the cake and thanked Su Yan slowly. She bit her lower lip and suddenly remembered the last time she met Su Yan on the balcony, which seemed to be a scene of them parting on bad terms.
However, Su Yan seemed to have forgotten about this matter and treated her as usual. He also had a cake box in his hand, and Cheng Kou guessed that it might be for the little cuttlefish.
"Cheng Kou, I'm sorry about what happened last time. I hope you won't be angry." Su Yan threw down these words, and seeing that Cheng Kou was still in a daze, he felt inexplicably good and turned around to go back to his home.
When the little cuttlefish saw the cake box in his hand, he jumped up excitedly. Su Yan didn't let him rush and handed it to him directly.
The little cuttlefish held the cake box and put it on the dining table. Then he went to the bathroom to wash his hands, running around with his short legs, having a lot of fun.
Black Forest Cake is very appetizing at first glance, and children of Little Moyu's age like it even more. Su Yan pulled a chair over and sat next to him, watching him, and found that his eyes were narrowed with satisfaction. He got up and went to the kitchen, poured a glass of milk, and placed it in front of his nephew.
"Eat slowly and drink the milk."
"Oh, okay." The little cuttlefish held the glass in both hands and sipped the milk in small sips.
There were chocolate crumbs on the corners of his mouth, as well as a circle of milky white milk. Su Yan smiled and handed him a tissue.
"Thank you, Xiaowu." Little Squid finally found a chance when Su Yan was in a good mood and asked tentatively, "Xiaowu, can I watch cartoons later?"
Seeing that Su Yan didn't say anything, the little cuttlefish continued to act like a spoiled child, "Just for a while, I promise!"
Because he really didn't want to see his eyes filled with tears, Su Yan nodded in agreement.
"Xiaowu, you are the best!" The little cuttlefish got what he wanted. He hugged his neck with a smile, gave him a kiss on the face, and rubbed food crumbs on his face.
Little Moyu was the first child of the Su family. His family had always spoiled him, but they also brought him up very well. He rarely did anything arrogant, so Su Yan let him do as he pleased and was not angry because of the dirt on his face.
He gently twisted the child's small ear and asked, "If I remember correctly, you loved more than one person this week, right?"
The little cuttlefish stuck out his tongue where he couldn't see. When Su Yan reminded him, he remembered that he said he loved his mother, his father, his aunt, his uncle, and Xiao Wu the most - okay, it was a bit sentimental.
"Hehe." The laughter sounded a little guilty.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll throw you out?" Su Yan's voice was filled with a hint of laughter.
"Everyone is nice to me, so I'm not afraid of anything." Little Squid pouted and asked seriously, "Xiao Wu, when will I have Aunt Wu?"
Su Yan reached out and tapped the tip of his nose, snorting softly, "Did your uncle Xiaoqi tell you this again?"
The little cuttlefish blinked his big eyes, his long eyelashes fluttering. Shen Lifeng taught him to ask Su Yan this question, and he did it. Although he was precocious, he was only a four-year-old child after all, and he didn't quite understand these things.
Su Yan met his innocent eyes and ruffled his hair, "Wait a little longer, it will be soon."
The next afternoon, Su Yan arrived at the provincial TV station as scheduled. Minister Song, who was in charge of finance, brought Du Lanshan to greet him in person.
After some pleasantries, Su Yan wanted to get straight to the point, so the group moved to the studio.
This kind of interview program is always the same, and the questions Du Lanshan asked are not much different from the ones Cheng Kou asked him before. He has always been low-key and has never liked this kind of work that requires him to appear on camera. When Su Lei is not at home, all these things will fall on him.
Du Lanshan was dressed beautifully, with delicate makeup, and sat gracefully in the anchor position. She spoke in a measured manner, but not rigidly, and had a good manner, which made her very popular with the audience. She was named the most popular female host of the provincial TV station for three consecutive years.
She opened her cherry lips and asked a question that Su Yan had never been asked before, "As everyone knows, the Su family started out in real estate and has never been involved in the media industry in the past few decades."
Su Yan tilted his head to listen to her and nodded in agreement.
Du Lanshan continued, "President Su, why did you think of developing this business?"
Su Yan hesitated for a moment, "When I was in high school, there was a senior who had a profound influence on me. He encouraged me to study journalism." His eyes glanced at Du Lanshan casually, "Of course, for some reason, it didn't come true in the end."
Hearing this, Du Lanshan's eyes dimmed, but she covered it up cleverly.
Su Yan also said, "Later, I joined the family business and had the opportunity, so I wanted to realize my dream at that time."
"Xiao Du, please see General Manager Su off." After the program was recorded, Minister Song gave Du Lanshan a few instructions and went to do other things.
Du Lanshan led Su Yan towards the elevator. An assistant who was in a hurry ran past without looking at the road and bumped into Su Yan's shoulder. He took a step to the side, and Du Lanshan's hand was already on him.
Su Yan frowned, dodged without leaving a trace, and said coldly, "Sorry, Miss Du, I don't like strangers touching me."
Su Yan's cell phone rang, and the system's built-in ringtone broke the awkwardness in the room. He lowered his head to glance at the name on the caller ID, pursed his lips slightly, and slid the screen to answer the call.
"Cheng Kou, what's the matter?"
Du Lanshan, who originally wanted to avoid it, stopped in her tracks the moment she heard the name.
The high heels rubbed against the ground quickly, making a sharp and piercing sound. Su Yan then realized that there was another person next to him. He nodded to the other person and hurriedly walked into the elevator.
The elevator doors closed with a dull sound. Du Lanshan stood there, her nails digging into her flesh, causing a dull pain.
