After eating together, in the afternoon, Gu Yu Cheng brought Su Rui directly to his office.

Su Rui noticed that compared to the last time, this time around, there were significantly more green plants in Gu Yu Cheng’s office.

“How is it?” Seeing Su Rui’s eyes moving slightly, Gu Yu Cheng curved into a smile and asked.

“Not bad.” Su Rui nodded her head sending Gu Yu Cheng a gaze which states #This child is teachable.

Gu Yu Cheng laughed when he heard Su Rui’s response.

“I’ve got some paperwork I need to take care of this afternoon, so wait for me in the office a little while, okay?” Gu Yu Cheng asked as he poured a cup of warm water for Su Rui.

“En. Go ahead and do what you have to.” Su Rui smiled and responded.

“About two hours. I’ll do it as fast as possible.” After a pause, Gu Yu Cheng added, “In addition, there are several summaries of the projects on the table that I asked Wang Zhou to find before, as well as two sets of project plans that the project department reported separately this year. If you are bored, you can have a look at them.”

Su Rui: Actually, if I’m bored I can play with my phone.

That was what Su Rui thought in her head.

However, it is a rare opportunity to look at Gu Company’s project plans, so shouldn’t she cherish this opportunity?

Although these two plans should not be the plans for their core project, it is still very informative as it is Gu Company’s projects.

Also, if she did intern in Gu Company’s project department afterwards, it would be good to get a rough idea of the department’s planning orientation and documentation style first.

Su Rui was originally also a person who could sit still, not to mention that she had been lying in the hospital bed for those three years in the first place, so how can’t she sit still?

Thus, when Gu Yu Cheng went to deal with his work, Su Rui also quietened down and began to look over the plans and summaries on the table.

Occasionally, Su Rui would look up at the man at the desk over there, who was concentrating and efficiently working on his work.

Looking at this kind of Gu Yu Cheng, Su Rui blinked her eyes.

Oh, no wonder netizens would say that a man looks more handsome when he is working hard than when he’s saying “I love you.”

It seems like that is quite true?

Even though Su Rui guessed that the netizen who said that was more likely to want to express that men are really serious when they are working and may not be so serious when they say they love you.

After going over those documents in her hand and remembering a few key points, Su Rui didn’t engage in any pretence of stalling for time.

She placed the few papers back neatly, sat down on the sofa and simply propped her chin on her hand and stared at the person in front of her in a leisure manner.

“What’s the matter?” Seeming sensing Su Rui’s gaze, Gu Yu Cheng raised his head and asked.

“It’s nothing, you can continue with what you are doing.” Su Rui smiled and smiled. But she grabbed a blank piece of paper, and the pen from before and began to draw on the paper.

Looking at Su Rui for a few seconds, it seems that he knew what Su Rui was doing. Gu Yu Cheng held onto his pen for a moment. The next second, he looked down and continued looking at the document on the table.

He seemed to have reverted to the way he had been a moment before.

However, if one looked closely, one could see Gu Yu Cheng’s speed of reviewing the documents was significantly slower than before.

Time flew by very quickly.

By the time Su Rui finished her “masterpiece”, roughly an hour had passed.

“Perfect!” After fixing the last bit of detail and looking at her finished work, Su Rui nodded quite satisfactorily.

By then, there was Gu Yu Cheng’s voice in her ears, and there seemed to be a hint of laughter in his tone, “Done?”

“Hm?” Su Rui raised her head only to find that just as she was putting on the finishing touches on the drawing, Gu Yu Cheng in front of her had already finished processing those documents at some point, placing a stack of them neatly on the left side.

“Finished drawing?” Gu Yu Cheng asked again.

“Mhm.” Su Rui nodded her head and looked at him and asked, “Do you want to have a look?”

Although she is not a professional and not even close to the word “master”, she is still quite confident in her drawings.

When she had nothing to do in the hospital, she drew a lot and had her own unique style.

“Alright.” Saying that, without waiting for Su Rui to come over, Gu Yu Cheng was already one step ahead of Su Rui, moved his somewhat stiff neck, stood up from his desk and walked in front of Su Rui.

His eyes gazed towards the painting in Su Rui’s hands, the look on Gu Yu Cheng’s face was momentarily stunned.

Su Rui’s drawing was very complete and almost took up the entire A4 sheet with lines.

Unlike the Su Rui that Gu Yu Cheng thought he understood, the lines on this drawing were very random except it seems that there was a bit of meticulousness in the randomness.

The content of the drawing seems to be realistic, but it is not that figurative.

Because of Lao Gu’s late-life hobbies, Gu Yu Cheng was forced to elevate his appreciation of art even though he didn’t like them.

Such a drawing style is not often seen.

Or probably only one artist.

Not to mention the talent and skill, just based on such a work, Gu Yu Cheng could also guess that the girl in front of him had put a lot of effort into drawing.

An idea suddenly popped up in his head where he thought that if he had the chance, he would like Su Rui to continue painting in the future.

The mentioned are objective evaluation of Chairman Gu.

If you add in the personal feelings factor, Gu Yu Cheng was a little dissatisfied with Su Rui’s drawing.

The structure and framing of Su Rui’s artwork are more or less the same as Gu Yu Cheng’s judgement and his position is off to the right in the centre of the picture taking up almost a third of the entire picture.

Just that…

Why is it that the entire drawing relating to the scene of the office and the scene outside the window behind him, Su Rui has depicted in great detail, but when it comes to the real depiction of him, his entire person is a blurry figure?

Admittedly, this design is really good from a sensory standpoint.

However, Chairman Gu wasn’t quite satisfied that he was just a blurry figure.

“How is it?”

“Not bad.” Gu Yu Cheng said half against his will.

The next second he heard Su Rui had already taken the initiative to explain, “Because I’m afraid of drawing you ugly, so I’ll have to draw as a blurry figure?”

“But it is still a handsome blurry figure, isn’t it?”

Even though it was just a whim and a way to pass time, Su Rui was very satisfied with her work.

After all these months of not drawing, it’s good to know that her motor skills did not decline.

“En.” Gu Yu Cheng responded, the corner of his mouth unconsciously curving.

“Just leave it there.” Seeing that Su Rui was about to put the drawing away, Gu Yu Cheng said.

“Hm?” Upon hearing this, Su Rui was first stunned then reacted, but smiled and calmly laid the rolled-up mediocre sketch flat on Gu Yu Cheng’s desk.

“I will keep it well.”

……

In the evening, Gu Yu Cheng looked at the time and sent Su Rui back to the university.

“Yu Cheng.”

“Yes?” Hearing Su Rui’s voice, Gu Yu Cheng’s ears were somewhat ticklish, slightly tilting his head and asking.

“You said yesterday you were going on a business trip next week?”

“En.” Gu Yu Cheng slightly nodded his head and added, “Gu Company had invested in a project at City S previously, it will be officially launched next week, I need to be there for about a week.”

After saying that, Gu Yu Cheng then simply explained that project to Su Rui briefly as well.

“When are you leaving?” Su Rui asked.

“It is still undecided. The official launch of the project is scheduled for the 21st, so we need to be there at least two or three days before that. ”

“So you would still be in City B this weekend, right?”

“En.” Gu Yu Cheng nodded his head.

But then he saw Su Rui’s eyes flickered, thought about it and said, “Well, if you don’t have any other plans for this Sunday, just take that day off/have nothing on that day.”

“Alright.” Hearing Su Rui’s words, Gu Yu Cheng first subconsciously responded then when he thought of something, Gu Yu Cheng looked at Su Rui with a passionate gaze and couldn’t help but chuckled.

“What are you planning to do for my birthday?”

“Secret!” Su Rui blinked her eyes and said.

The truth is she hadn’t thought of it yet.

“It’s getting late, you should hurry back and the gift for Auntie Yu, I put next to the passenger seat of your car, so don’t forget to help me to deliver it.” Su Rui said.

Although she didn’t go to Gu house, Su Rui still went to Gu Company today.

Moreover, because of that “misunderstanding” incident previously, Mrs Gu had sent Su Rui quite a number of “condolences gifts”.

So, the token of regards to the elders should still be given.

Incidentally, Su Rui could also take this opportunity to thank Mrs Gu over there for sponsoring two tickets to the art exhibition.

“I will. You go ahead and go inside.” Gu Yu Cheng nodded and said.

Knowing that Gu Yu Cheng would wait until she was inside before leaving, Su Rui didn’t dwell on it and said ‘Goodnight’ and went back to the dormitory.

However, as soon as Su Rui pushed the door open, she was greeted by a scream from her dearest roommate!

“Was that Gu Yu Cheng downstairs just now?!”
