Chapter 21 Chapter 21 The boss is not, for the sake of beauty? ...
When Gao Zhou arrived at the villa, Yan Jiu was playing with Ping An on the sofa.
Ping An usually holds on to the ball tightly when he picks it up, but this time he was very sensible and threw the ball to Yan Jiu.
But Yan Jiu looked a little absent-minded, with his beautiful eyes drooping and his expression unclear.
Gao Zhou walked to the sofa and greeted her, "Madam."
When Ping'an heard the stranger's movement, he couldn't wait to run to Secretary Gao and sniff around his trouser legs.
"Maybe I smell like a puppy," Gao Zhou said, bending down and patting Ping An's head. "Good boy, I'll bring you snacks next time I come."
Then, he raised the briefcase in his hand slightly and said, "I'm going upstairs to see the boss."
Yan Jiu blinked, finally pulling her mind back from its wandering state. She still remembered how Secretary Gao had come to her rescue earlier, and smiled warmly at him. "Okay."
Watching Gao Zhou go up the stairs, Yan Jiu slowly withdrew his gaze.
Her conversation with Chen Yuchu was interrupted by a sudden phone call from Gao Zhou. Chen Yuchu then pushed her into the living room and went upstairs to take care of some business. Not long after, Secretary Gao arrived.
There was a hint of confusion in Yan Jiuxing's eyes, and her cheeks turned red for no apparent reason. She couldn't tell whether she wanted the conversation to continue or to be interrupted.
Maybe it's better to interrupt.

Gao Zhou walked up the winding stairs and knocked twice on the study door, neither lightly nor heavily. He opened the door only after hearing the response.
He thought Chen Yuchu's face must be very ugly at this moment. The quality of the materials exported by a company under Chen Baichuan's supervision had problems, and the other party demanded a huge amount of compensation. Foreign media reported this matter extensively.
The entire Qingyu Group was dragged into this by him.
This is not the first time that Chen Baichuan has made a mistake and Chen Yuchu has to solve it for him.
Anyone would be angry about such an unexpected disaster.
What's more, anyone with a discerning eye can see that among the two brothers of the Chen family, Chen Yuchu is the dazzling sun in the sky. Everyone around him will be involuntarily attracted to him and want to submit to him.
And Chen Baichuan is, at best, just a rich kid who knows how to eat, drink and have fun.
But I don’t know what Mr. Chen is thinking, and he has been reluctant to decide on the position of heir.
Do you think there is still a chance for Chen Baichuan's brain to be enlightened?
Not to mention Chen Yuchu himself, Gao Zhou privately felt sorry for him. Yet, Old Master Chen gave Chen Yuchu this thankless task.
This is a very difficult matter.
But what surprised him was that in the study, the glass window was half open, and sunlight filtered in through the white gauze curtains. A man in an Italian three-piece suit had his eyes half-lowered. He was meticulously dressed even at home. His broad shoulders supported the pure black suit, and his deep, three-dimensional facial features were softly outlined by the sunlight. He was playing with the ceramic rabbit on the table with an inexplicable expression.
The boss seemed to be in a good mood.
Secretary Gao was stunned for only a second before briefly describing to Chen Yuchu several solutions they had thought of. The management team had already evaluated these solutions, and the final decision would be made by him.
Talking about business, Chen Yuchu's eyes turned darker. His long, bony fingers tapped lightly on the table. After a long pause, he spoke slowly, "Sign a new contract with Senrui Company and have them come forward to clarify this matter."
Senrui is the company that previously cooperated with Chen Baichuan. The new contract signed with them must make a lot of concessions and negotiate an appropriate price before the other party can come forward to clarify.
This time they have us in their grasp.
Alternatively, they could have foreign-related lawyers handle the lawsuit; Qingyu's legal team was renowned for its formidable expertise. However, the media outcry was already widespread, negatively impacting Qingyu Group's public image and the progress of subsequent projects. Furthermore, foreign-related lawsuits involved numerous individuals, and even if they won, the lost credibility would be difficult to regain.
Gao Zhou made a phone call and gave the order in front of Chen Yuchu.
He then took out a document from his briefcase and placed it on Chen Yuchu's desk. "This is the agreement drafted by the legal team."
Gao Zhou wasn't surprised at all that Chen Yuchu and Yan Jiu were signing a marriage agreement. Even Chen Yuchu's girlfriend had signed an agreement with him, stipulating the investment and use of their joint funds, as well as the ownership of the billions in the event of a breakup.
Billion is the name of their dog.
It's perfectly normal to put everything on the table.
The more detailed the division, the less likely it is to cross each other's boundaries in actual interactions.
Chen Yuchu was calm and composed. He nodded slightly to indicate Secretary Gao to put it on the table. He calmly picked up the agreement and read it carefully. He turned the pages very quickly.
Until she saw the last one, she tapped it with her fingertips and raised her beautiful thin lips slightly.
This was added by his lawyer.
Gao Zhou waited patiently, thinking that Chen Yuchu would ask him to take it down to Yan Jiu, but he didn't expect that he would close the agreement directly after reading it, and the black folder fell coldly on the table.
Gao Zhou asked tentatively, "Boss, where is the meeting tomorrow?"
"Video conferencing. I'll be staying home and working remotely this week."
Chen Yuchu had long since regained his usual cool demeanor, leaning forward a bit, outlining his perfect figure with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His tailor-made, handmade Italian-style suit was wrinkle-free, just like him.
Gao Zhou's eyes flashed with disbelief. Chen Yuchu did not hold the position of director from the beginning. In the beginning, he also went to the branch company to gain experience, and then returned to the headquarters to start from the middle level and reached his current position.
From the first day Chen Yuchu entered the company, he always maintained the most dedicated attitude and the most abundant energy at work, which is why he has so many fans around him.
Everyone has deep respect for this gifted man.
Qingyu Group holds regular meetings every Tuesday. Chen Yuchu's choice to work from home today has already caused a lot of speculation, not to mention that he is taking a week off.
Gao Zhou's mind flashed with the image of Yan Jiu sitting in a wheelchair on the sofa in the living room, and he had some guesses.
The boss wouldn't be doing this for the sake of beauty, right?
But Gao Zhou didn't dare question Chen Yuchu's decision. He was a professional worker who would obey his boss's orders unconditionally. So he quickly concealed the surprise in his eyes and said, "I understand."
Yan Jiu had an injury on his foot, so he stayed relatively still. He told the store manager he wouldn't be going to the pottery shop that week. He spent the afternoon playing with Ping An and then watching Yu Yinghui knit.
Yan Jiu used to watch Yu Yinghui knit sweaters. She really liked such quiet time.
But this time, after looking at it for a while, she slowly said, "I want to knit a scarf. Can I finish it between now and winter?"
Yu Yinghui smiled knowingly, "Knitting for the master? Of course there's still time! Enough to knit many."
Yan Jiu bit his lower lip, feeling a little embarrassed. "Maybe he won't be able to use it..."
Naturally, someone specially prepared the things that Chen Yuchu was going to wear. The scarf was not suitable for social occasions, and most indoor places were kept at a constant temperature. Maybe he would accept it, but in the end it would be thrown into a corner where no one would notice it.
Yu Yinghui disagreed and said, "Why don't you give it a try? The master hasn't said anything yet, and you're already trying to convince yourself to give up."
Yan Jiu, whose secret was touched, stuck out his tongue, but obediently took the wool handed to him by Yu Yinghui and listened carefully to her explanation of the basic techniques and skills.
Hearing the sound of light footsteps, Yan Jiu raised his head and found that Chen Yuchu and Gao Zhou had come down the stairs together.
Probably because the meeting was over, Chen Yuchu had taken off his suit jacket and was now wearing a white shirt. He was as tall as jade and as straight as a bamboo, looking more elegant and approachable.
His eyes fell on Yan Jiu's hand with some inquiry.
Yan Jiu subconsciously put everything in his hands behind his back. By the time he realized that he was trying to hide something, it was too late. His eyelashes trembled like a butterfly about to fly.
Gao Zhou nodded slightly at her, and said in his usual polite tone, "Sir, Madam, I'll be leaving first."
Yan Jiu nodded slightly, glanced at Ping An lying at her feet, and asked tentatively: "Secretary Gao, do you have a puppy at home? Can you ask your puppy out to play next time?"
This was her first time getting a dog, and after adopting Ping An, she did some research, knowing that puppies also need outdoor activities and socialization. Hearing Gao Zhou mention that his family also had a dog, she decided to get the two dogs acquainted.
Gao Zhou was a little surprised and subconsciously looked at Chen Yuchu. Seeing that he had no objection, he smiled gently and said, "Okay, my girlfriend is worried about no one to accompany her to the pet park. I'll add you as a friend first, and then create a group, okay?"
As he spoke, Gao Zhou walked closer and scanned Yan Jiu's QR code.
Then he politely stepped back and said, "I'll help you when the time comes."
With the typical attitude of a working man, Yan Jiu was not in a position to say anything else, so he just replied, "Okay."
At some point, Chen Yuchu had already walked up to her, picked up the dimes she had just hidden, and said in a low, magnetic voice, "Is this knitted for me?"
"No," Yan Jiu denied hastily, "I wove it for Ping An."
Yu Yinghui left tactfully, and when she turned around, her expression showed uncontrollable excitement.
Yan Jiu felt the sofa beside her sag slightly. Chen Yuchu sat down beside her, his posture very relaxed. His long, bony fingers picked up the wool beside him and asked her with a smile, "Really?"
These two words sounded deep and hot, as if they had been twisted by sand.
Yan Jiu nodded uncomfortably, trying to change the subject and blur the matter out. "Have you finished discussing your work?"
It was completely useless nonsense, but Chen Yuchu still answered her, "We're done."
He poured himself a cup of tea, looked at the yarn he had knitted a little bit, and returned to the topic, "So you're going to knit a scarf for me?"
Yan Jiu's dark hair fell down, and the tips of her ears that peeked through her hair were tinged with crimson. She didn't know if her reaction was too obvious or if Chen Yuchu was too perceptive. She had wanted to surprise him, but he had already known it. She had no choice but to admit, "Yeah."
The girl's shy look was so charming that even Chen Yuchu's usually calm heart skipped a beat. He suddenly wanted to tease her, "You just said you knitted it for Ping An. Am I the same as a dog in your heart?"
Perhaps because she didn't expect Chen Yuchu to make such a down-to-earth joke, Yan Jiu's soft lips opened in surprise, as pink as cherry blossoms in spring.
The warmth of the palm was transmitted from the waist. The tall body of the man cast a shadow in front of her eyes. The tall nose bridge close at hand was as flawless as a sculpture by the goddess of beauty. Yan Jiu's thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked straight into Chen Yuchu's deep black pupils, where there was only her figure.
There was a hint of agarwood on the pink lips.
