Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Not afraid of rumors about his relationship with Yu Wan...
As soon as lunchtime arrived, Yu Wan brought the double steak ordered by the boss into the office, put down two servings of mint mouthwash and disinfectant wipes, made sure the boss had no other instructions, and went to the administration department to have lunch with Lai Yanxu and Sun Ning.
When she arrived at the administration department, there was already a large crowd gathered at the door. There were several interns and regular employees that Yu Wan was familiar with. They were waiting for someone, chatting from time to time. The atmosphere was harmonious and joyful.
Someone spotted Yu Wan and nudged the person next to them, "Hey, who's here?"
"Who's there? Oh, it's the dry cleaner's manager's daughter."
There was a murmur of laughter from the crowd.
Zhao Yushu looked at Yu Wan with a cold face.
The upper body is a satin champagne-colored lantern-sleeve shirt, and the lower body is a black hip-wrapped knee-length skirt. The whole body is well-proportioned and slim, with a thin back, fair skin, and calm and clear eyes. She is like a graceful lotus. Although not enchanting and charming enough, she has her own extraordinary beauty.
The clothes she wore were not like the low-quality street stall goods she had worn before. They were well-cut and had simple lines. When she stood there, even without saying a word, everyone knew that she was Mr. Fu's secretary.
The two sides' eyes met, and someone took the initiative to congratulate her on her promotion.
Yu Wan was a little surprised. She had just signed the regularization contract that morning. Was it announced so soon?
She accepted politely: "Thank you."
Just as I was about to go into the office to find Lai Yanxu, I was stopped by someone.
"What? Just a thank you. I thought you were going to treat everyone to dinner?"
Yu Wan turned around and recognized the person who was speaking. It was Zhao Yushu's friend, Chen Nianyou.
She stood beside Zhao Yushu, looking at Yu Wan with a smile. "I heard that the secretary in the president's office earns three or four times as much as we do. This is such a great thing, why not treat us to a meal to show our appreciation? It seems like we haven't had a meal together since we joined the company. This is a good opportunity to celebrate. What do you think, Yu Wan?"
Yu Wan felt bad.
Putting aside the question of whether it was reasonable for those who were converted to regular employees to treat others, her relationship with them didn't seem to be good enough to allow her to treat them to a meal.
So Yu Wan shook her head.
Seeing Yu Wan shaking her head, Chen Nianyou showed a hint of mocking smile in her eyes, but it was suppressed in an instant. She looked at Yu Wan with shock and confusion.
"Yu Wan...I remember you weren't that kind of person. Even if you're President Fu's secretary now, there's no need to look down on us interns. Could it be that what they said is true? Are you really that kind of person?"
Zhao Yushu helped explain: "Yu Wan shouldn't be that kind of person. After all, she is now Mr. Fu's secretary. Anyone who can become a secretary must have her own strengths."
Zhao Yushu's words were no different from adding fuel to the fire. The way the group of people looked at Yu Wan became intriguing.
Verbal bullying is, to some extent, more terrifying than physical bullying. Even if people who have been hurt by rumors get rid of it in the future, they will suddenly remember the words of the bully at some point, and abuse and examine themselves over and over again. Finally, they gradually close themselves off, dare not go out, dare not look people in the eye, dare not talk to people, and slide step by step into the abyss.
Yu Wan is not a saint, and he cannot be completely free of grudges.
She stared at Chen Nianyou, ignoring Zhao Yushu completely, and spoke calmly, "Chen Nianyou, you haven't been officially hired yet, right? I'm afraid if I treat you to a meal before you're officially hired, you'll think I'm showing off. So, sorry, I don't want you to think I'm a show-off. What do you think?"
Chen Nianyou's expression suddenly turned ugly.
Lai Yanxu ran out at this time, took Yu Wan's hand, and led her away from the Shura Field, shouting carelessly: "Oh my God, I'm starving. I'm finally done with work. Come on, call Sun Ning, let's go eat together!"
Chen Nianyou was interrupted and glared at the two of them unwillingly, hoping that Zhao Yushu could help her fight back.
Zhao Yushu smiled gently and patted Chen Nianyou on the shoulder. "Okay, I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat. French or Italian?"
As if he had noticed something, Yu Wan met Song Chuchu's gaze before leaving.
Song Chuchu was also looking at her.
Compared to before, Song Chuchu's attitude towards her was obviously much colder. She no longer greeted her when they met, and at most she would just smile at her.
Yu Wan knew that she was probably angry about the lie she told on the night of the celebration.
Their eyes met for only two seconds before Song Chuchu turned away first. When she looked again, Yu Wan had already left.
Yu Wan guessed correctly. Song Chuchu was indeed a little unhappy about Yu Wan's concealment that night.
It was obvious that President Fu was not drunk, but was drugged. However, when she asked if she needed help, she was decisively refused, which greatly reduced her impression of Yu Wan.
Wasn't she trustworthy? Wasn't she friendly enough to Yu Wan when she first joined the company?
Yu Wan is introverted and lonely. If she hadn't dragged Yu Wan to have dinner with other interns, Yu Wan might not have been able to fit in with them at all.
Even if she had some feelings for Mr. Fu, she would not take advantage of him. Yu Wan's lie made her feel embarrassed that her feelings were seen through.
The group went to the restaurant and sat down with their plates. Not long after, they began to discuss the mysterious beauty who stayed in Mr. Fu's office to have lunch.
"It's not someone else, nor a partner, it's Mr. Fu's fiancée!"
"Mr. Fu's fiancée is really beautiful. I happened to pass by her this morning when I was delivering documents. Before I even saw her, I could smell her perfume. If I wasn't unfamiliar with her, I would have wanted to ask her what perfume she used."
"This is the first time I know that Mr. Fu has a fiancée. I asked an old employee privately. Mr. Fu's fiancée is Yu Jintong, the president of Xinyuan Biopharmaceutical Company. It seems that Mr. Fu and his fiancée were engaged when they were children."
"Mr. Fu and Ms. Yu are a perfect match, from looks to abilities. I wonder if we'll have the chance to eat Mr. Fu's wedding candy."
…
Seeing Zhao Yushu's absent-mindedness, Chen Nianyou took the initiative to speak, hinting, "With such a beautiful and capable fiancée, it seems that some people's dreams of becoming the CEO's wife will be dashed."
She was talking about Yu Wan, but when Song Chuchu heard this, she subconsciously looked at Zhao Yushu.
As a woman, she could tell that Zhao Yushu was interested in Mr. Fu, and the intensity of his affection far exceeded hers, otherwise she wouldn't target Yu Wan.
He threw Yu Wan's printed documents into a shredder, poured red wine on Yu Wan's skirt, and made some remarks against Yu Wan in the group, causing everyone to look at Yu Wan strangely.
Zhao Yushu noticed her gaze, twitched his lips, and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Song Chuchu, tell me, why did President Fu choose Yu Wan as his secretary when he clearly has a fiancée? Isn't he afraid that others will spread rumors about his relationship with Yu Wan?"
Song Chuchu didn't know what to say for a moment.
Zhao Yushu spoke again: "You like Mr. Fu too, right? I saw you secretly taking pictures of him at the anniversary celebration."
Song Chuchu was shocked.
When she returned home in the evening, Song Chuchu's depressed mood was immediately caught by her mother. Before going to bed, she brought Song Chuchu a cup of hot milk, touched her daughter's hair, and asked softly in a low voice: "What's wrong? Did you encounter any difficulties?"
Song Chuchu hugged her mother, buried her head in her soft belly, and called her in a sweet voice: "Mom..."
Song's mother laughed: "You're still calling me mom like a child, aren't you ashamed?"
Song Chuchu pouted, "There's nothing shameful about being a spoiled child with my mother."
"Okay, okay, if you have any troubles, just tell me and I will definitely help you solve them."
From childhood to adulthood, this is probably the sentence Song Chuchu has heard the most, and Song Chuchu has always believed in it.
Because her mother never broke her promise.
Song Chuchu looked at Mother Song, hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom, I seem to like the boss of our company, but he has a fiancée. I don't know whether I should continue to like him."
Mother Song's eyes moved slightly, "Does your boss know you?"
Song Chuchu shook her head.
"He doesn't know. He might not even know which department I'm from."
"Then why do you like him?"
Song Chuchu thought for a while, "Like love at first sight? He is very handsome and has strong working ability. I think he is very capable, so I like him."
"Is he as good-looking as your brother Juefeng?"
Song Chuchu's face flushed instantly, and she pretended to be angry: "Mom, what are you talking about?"
Song's mother was not angry. She sat next to her daughter and coaxed her gently: "Chuchu, as someone who has been through this, I understand your love for your boss. However, we need to consider the reality. Your boss doesn't know you and doesn't understand you. If you rashly contact him, he will only be disgusted. Even if you contact him, there will be no good results. This is a purely one-way love. Will such love make you happy? If possible, mom has no objection. But Lu Juefeng is different. He lent a helping hand to your father's company when it was down and out. He is a man with a conscience and knows how to be grateful. You and him grew up almost as childhood sweethearts. You know him and he knows you. In fact, you are interested in him in your heart, but because you are too familiar with him, you suppress it in your heart. You can try to let go of this familiarity and shyness and ask yourself carefully, who do you like?"
Song Chuchu pursed her lips and said nothing.
Song's mother: "You said your boss is handsome, but I think Lu Juefeng is handsome. He is tall and has a model-like figure. He is no worse than those celebrities."
Song Chuchu hesitated: "But Brother Juefeng is not Uncle Lu's biological son."
This means that Lu Juefeng is very likely not to inherit Uncle Lu’s inheritance.
On the other hand, although she and Lu Juefeng can be considered childhood sweethearts, Brother Juefeng is always gentle and polite in his dealings with others. Song Chuchu cannot find this uniqueness in him. What she wants is wholehearted, passionate love.
But when I think about it this way, it seems that Mr. Fu doesn't quite fit the bill either.
Song Chuchu suddenly felt a little confused.
Song's mother obviously thought of the Lu family's situation. A cold arc appeared at the corner of her mouth. She said earnestly: "Chuchu, when did you become so short-sighted in judging people? Even though Lu Juefeng is the vice president now, most people in the company are on his side. He may seem like the vice president, but he has more decision-making power than Lu Yusen. When that old man Lu Zongxin retires, the entire Yufeng Group will have to rely on Lu Juefeng. By then, Lu Juefeng will be a hot commodity that everyone will want to grab. So, Chuchu, strike first."
Song Chuchu knew that Lu Yusen was uneducated and unskillful. In comparison, Brother Juefeng was like a god in heaven and had never said that he disliked his brother.
Brother Juefeng has a gentle personality, handsome appearance, and strong working ability, which is what Song Chuchu's dream lover should be like.
But why did her heart involuntarily follow Fu Zhiyao after he appeared?
It's really weird.
Song Chuchu picked up her cell phone and sent a message to Lu Juefeng in front of Song's mother.
Song Chuchu: [Brother Juefeng, we haven't had dinner together for a long time. Do you have time this weekend? I'll treat you to dinner.]
