Chapter 67

"Sister." Jiahui's soft voice rang out. Song Shu turned around and found Jiahui standing at the kitchen door, looking at her and her uncle curiously.

Meeting her pair of innocent and curious eyes, Song Shu felt a little embarrassed. She pretended to withdraw from Chen Zonghao's arms naturally, walked over, took Jiahui's hand and walked towards the living room, "Come on, Jiahui, sister will show you a cartoon." She no longer cared about the man behind her.

Seeing that she was about to run away after flirting with him, Chen Zonghao stood there and shook his head helplessly. He put the clay pot in his hand on the island, supported his hands on both sides, and smiled happily as he recalled the hug just now.

There was a new DVD player at home that Chen Zonghao brought back, as well as many videos. Song Shu found an animated film and played it for Jiahui.

Song Shu put away the cartoon and sat on the sofa with Jia Hui. The little girl curled up in her arms and clung to her. Song Shu held her and watched the cartoon together.

After a while, Chen Zonghao came out and leaned his hand on the back of the sofa where Song Shu was sitting. He looked down at her and said, "I'm going out to buy some food. What do you want to eat tonight?"

Song Shu leaned back on the sofa and looked up at him, "Can I eat spicy food?" She didn't know why she suddenly wanted to eat spicy food after being sick. It might be because the medicine made the taste in her mouth bland.

Chen Zonghao raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "What do you think? I just recovered from an illness."

The more he stopped her from eating, the more Song Shu wanted to eat. She couldn't help but drawl out her voice and say, "It's okay. I just really want to eat."

She didn't realize that her tone unconsciously took on a coquettish tone when she spoke to him at this moment.

Chen Zonghao looked at her like this, his Adam's apple rolled, and he reached out and gently pinched her nose, "Don't be so coquettish."

Song Shu blushed when she heard his words, dodged his movements and muttered, "I'm not being coquettish."

Chen Zonghao took his hand back without hesitation, looked at her and coaxed her: "I'll make you something you like, and I'll make you something spicy in a few days, okay?"

Song Shu was coaxed by him and no longer thought about eating spicy food. She nodded: "Okay then."

Seeing her obedient appearance, Chen Zonghao's heart softened, and he surrendered first and blurted out, "How about just a little bit?"

Song Shu's eyes lit up when she heard his words. This meant he promised to make her something spicy. She nodded and agreed quickly, fearing that he would go back on his word. "Okay, I'll just eat a little."

Therefore, when Song Shu saw the plate of stir-fried squid with green peppers that night, her saliva began to water quickly. Under the man's gaze, even if she wanted to finish the whole dish, she could only take two bites to taste it. Then the man ruthlessly brought the dish to himself and did not allow Song Shu to pick up her chopsticks.

Under the ruthless suppression of the iron fist, Song Shu could only drink another bowl of soup with a greedy mouth. The man was also very good at making soup. Tonight's black chicken soup was very fresh and not greasy. Song Shu drank three bowls in a row.

At night, after Song Shu coaxed Jiahui to sleep, she walked out of the room and saw the man had already taken a shower and was sitting on the sofa in a vest, looking down at the video on the table.

Seeing her coming out, Chen Zonghao looked up at her and waved a movie he had found in his hand, "Want to watch a movie?"

Song Shu nodded and walked over. "Okay." They hadn't watched a movie together for some time since they went to Shenzhen.

Song Shu sat on a corner of the sofa and watched the man stand up and put the disc into the DVD player and then sit down next to her again. She asked, "What movie is playing?"

"A foreign film." Chen Zonghao sat down and said.

The video lasted more than an hour. In the middle, Song Shu relaxed her body and leaned against the sofa. When she felt tired of maintaining the same posture, she unconsciously changed her posture and leaned towards him. When she was suddenly close to his arms, she realized that they had been sitting very close to each other. She leaned sideways and was close to his arms.

Chen Zonghao originally had his hands on the back of the sofa, half of his attention was on the movie and the other half was on the woman next to him. From time to time, he looked at her constantly changing expressions while watching the movie. Even watching her like this, he found it extremely interesting.

When the woman accidentally approached his arms, Chen Zonghao's fingers on the sofa moved. After a while, seeing that the woman did not withdraw, he slid his hand down from the sofa and carefully placed it on her arm.

When Song Shu got close to his arms, she came to her senses. She originally wanted to withdraw but felt that doing so would seem like making a fuss over nothing. Moreover, a man's arms was more comfortable than a sofa backrest. Besides, he was her boyfriend so she thought it would be a waste not to use him. Convincing herself in her heart, Song Shu did not move and automatically found a comfortable position to lean against.

The two of them maintained this posture while watching the movie, their shadows cast by the light on the wall having a silent intimacy.

＊

The new Monday is the first day that Song Shu’s studio officially opens.

In the morning, Song Shu went to work with Chen Zonghao in his car. When the elevator opened on Chen Zonghao's floor, he walked out and turned around to say to her, "Good luck at work."

Song Shu smiled and nodded: "Yes."

The elevator door closed and continued to go up. Song Shu walked out of the elevator. At this time, the employees of the company such as the Human Resources Department and the Logistics Department had already started work a few days ago, while the other designers came today to officially go through the induction procedures. This was also Song Shu's first time to officially come to the studio.

As soon as Song Shu walked into the company, the front desk staff greeted her first: "Hello, Mr. Song."

"Hello."

All the employees who came in respectfully called out "Mr. Song."

Although Song Shu had to trouble Uncle Fat to help recruit these employees, she also showed up at the time, so everyone knew the owner of the studio.

As she was walking towards the office, the female assistant waiting outside the door came up to her and said, "Mr. Song, good morning."

"Good morning, Assistant Gao." Song Shu replied with a smile on her face.

Assistant Gao's full name is Gao Xiaotong, and she graduated from the University of Hong Kong. During the interview, Song Shu looked at her work experience and when talking to her, she could feel that she was a person who was efficient and organized, so she chose her.

It turned out that Assistant Gao was very efficient. She followed Song Shu into the office and explained to her other matters that had happened in the company in the past few days. "We have already told the five designers who joined today that we will hold a small meeting in the conference room at nine o'clock."

Song Shu nodded as she flipped through her work report, "I understand."

After reading the report document, Song Shu looked at her watch. It was almost nine o'clock, so she stood up and walked to the conference room. "Let's go over there." She planned to hold a small meeting with a few designers first, and then hold a meeting with all employees in the afternoon to discuss the studio's next work content.

Assistant Gao nodded and followed her to the conference room.

When Song Shu pushed open the door of the conference room, the five designers were already sitting in the conference room. When they saw her push the door open, they all stood up and greeted her, "Boss Song."

Song Shu nodded in response one by one, walked to the top and sat down to let everyone sit down, looked at them and said: "Welcome to join my studio, I hope everyone will have a good time in the future... Some of you may not know each other yet, so let's introduce each other first, designer Yang Shanshan, you go first."

Yang Shanshan sat on Song Shu's right. When Song Shu called her name, she nodded, stood up and said gracefully, "Hello everyone, my name is Yang Shanshan, and I have been a designer for three years... I hope to have a pleasant time with you all in the future."

After Yang Shanshan finished her introduction, the other four designers stood up one by one and introduced themselves to each other. There were four female designers and one male designer among the five designers. They were all young, only in their twenties, so they became very cordial after introducing themselves to each other.

After they finished their introductions, Song Shu asked Assistant Gao to talk about the next related work content. Song Shu also mentioned that she had opened a matching clothing factory in the mainland, and the clothes they designed could be produced by the clothing factory in the future. Design, production, and sales are a complete process.

After hearing her words, many other designers felt relieved. At the beginning, they were also worried that Song Shu was too young and that the studio would not be able to survive for long. Now that they heard that she had even opened a clothing factory and that the trends set by the clothes she designed were not fake, they all felt relieved.

Before the meeting ended, Song Shu gave them one last task, which was to design a set of clothes with the theme of "Chinese style".

On the one hand, she wanted to test their abilities and let her have an idea of ​​their abilities. Although they attached their previous design works during the interview, Song Shu felt that holding a thematic test would give her a more comprehensive understanding.

On the other hand, we also want to help them integrate into the studio more quickly during this test.

The five designers had no objection to this. They had participated in many design competitions before, so this kind of small test was no problem for them. However, the theme confused them at first. They had no idea what the "Chinese style" was. They had never encountered such a theme before.

However, Mr. Song did not provide more information, so they could only rely on them to slowly understand it.

＊

Song Shu came out of the conference room and suddenly heard a lively and familiar voice coming from the front desk.

Assistant Gao next to him said, "Boss Song, can I go over and take a look?"

Song Shu shook her head. "No need. I'll go with you."

Walking to the front desk, Song Shu saw several familiar people standing at the door holding flower baskets, including Shitou, Awen, Xiaohua, Tian Tian, ​​Fang Yun and Chen Zonghao. They all had flower baskets or some flowers in their hands.

Song Shu walked over and asked in surprise: "Why are you all here?"

Tian Tian was the first to speak: "Huh, Ah Shu, what are you talking about? Today is the opening of your company, so of course we came to celebrate with you. If we hadn't heard the news from your husband, would you still want to hide it from us?"

Shitou and the others beside him also spoke up: "That's right, Second Sister-in-law, you sent us flower baskets when Hao's company opened. It's not right that we don't even send a flower basket when your company opens."

Song Shu felt a little embarrassed but also warm at heart after hearing this. Actually, she originally didn't want to trouble them and planned to open the business quietly. Unexpectedly, Chen Zonghao told them and gave her a surprise. When this man got off the elevator just now, he just hurriedly said "Good luck at work" to her. It turned out that he was waiting here.

Song Shu curled her lips and said, "It's my fault. Thank you for coming over."

Fang Yun placed the flower basket on the table and said, "We are all friends, there is no right or wrong. Today we are just here to give you the flower basket and we won't disturb you from working."

The others put the flower baskets aside one after another. "Well, we won't disturb you from working. We'll just give you the flower baskets and leave."

"Sister Shu, this flower basket was sent over by Liang Sao and Fu Bo as their neighbors. I won't disturb you from working." Rong Xiaohua put the flower basket on the table and said, then left with Tian Tian and the others.

Song Shu saw that they really came to give her a basket of flowers and then left. They came quickly and left quickly without disturbing her work at all. She felt a little amused and warm at the same time.

Chen Zonghao was the last one to leave. Before leaving, he handed her a pot of cactus and said, "Good luck with your business. This pot of cactus is for you."

Song Shu took it and looked down. She felt it was familiar and immediately remembered the cactus she had given him when his company opened. However, after taking a closer look, she felt it was a little different. She couldn't help but look at her with some confusion.

Chen Zonghao received her gaze, touched his nose and said, "I bought it at the flower shop before I went there. It's the same model. My office happened to have the one you gave me, so your office let me give it to you."

Song Shu blurted out, "Isn't the basin of stones I gave you going to be taken away?"

Chen Zonghao snorted and said, "I'll take it away."

He spoke with full confidence and without any guilt. Song Shu looked at him with amusement. This man was really... But the corners of her mouth curled up, "Since Mr. Chen said so, I will definitely put this cactus in my office and take good care of it. Is this okay, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Zonghao looked at her cute face, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He reached out and touched her head, "Let's go. Wait for me after get off work tonight."

"Um."
