Zhang Shouyi stood up. "Okay, actually that's for the best. I was worried that the person I chose wouldn't meet your requirements." Who would want to get involved in such a mess? Isn't this just ruining the girl's life? But even if they did find someone, it definitely wouldn't work, but the girl's mind would be clouded.
"Shouyi, Yuanqing is being taken very well, thank you."
"Hehe, you're too kind. I'm happy to do something for you." In fact, Zhang Shouyi truly respected Zhou Shixiong. The reason he kept Zhou Yuanqing alive was really for Zhou Shixiong's sake. Just based on what Zhou Yuanqing had done in his previous life, killing him ten thousand times wouldn't be too much.
"Alright, I understand your feelings. Go ahead and get busy!"
"Then you should rest well. The descendants of the Zhou family are waiting for you to raise them. Can you trust someone else to take care of them?"
"Yes, I will definitely try my best to live."
Zhang Shouyi smiled slightly, turned and left the room, unconsciously quickening his pace. He was so eager to know what the girl had said. Imagining her expression when she read his letter, his eyes filled with laughter.
He walked briskly into his office. Looking at the messy documents on his desk and Secretary Wu following behind him, Zhang Shouyi felt that everything wasn't so unbearable after all.
"Secretary Wu, come in in half an hour." Zhang Shouyi said and went into the lounge.
Secretary Wu has been working for Zhang Shouyi for two years and is very familiar with her boss. The boss must have been very happy just now, right? She couldn't be sure now.
As she left the boss's office, the secretary considerately closed the door behind her. The other three secretaries outside watched her curiously, but received no answer. With the boss inside, who would dare to chat idly?
Zhang Shouyi leaned against the bed and handed over three sheets of paper and two pieces of clothing. The clothes felt really nice to the touch. Not bad, they even knew to think of him.
The first thing I read was Zhang Hongmei's last post. Goodness, she even knows how to threaten me now. She's really gotten quite capable.
The second letter was quite interesting. Just imagining this girl choosing clothes for herself in the mall with her eyes closed made everything seem so wonderful, just how it should be.
After reading the first letter, a feeling of pride welled up inside me. This was my wife! How could she be so smart? How could she be so outstanding?
All my worries vanished, and I was filled with energy. I picked up my pen and wrote another heartfelt letter before heading out to work. I'd already been delayed by three hours today, and I'd have to work overtime tonight. But I needed to go home first and return the cashmere sweater to Gu Chuanming, to make the old man happy.
The four secretaries were even more apprehensive. What was wrong with their leader? He was so gentle and mild-mannered, something they'd never done before. Could this be the calm before the storm? It was terrifying!
Zhang Shouyi left work promptly at 5:30, carrying two cashmere sweaters. He put the plastic bag away; it wasn't there, and the foreign writing on it shouldn't be there either.
Xiao Li never showed any other expression when it came to Zhang Shouyi's affairs. He drove Zhang Shouyi back to Xinyuan.
Gu Chuanming was taken aback when he saw Zhang Shouyi come in, but he didn't say anything. The two exchanged simple greetings and started eating.
Aunt Li was very happy to see Zhang Shouyi return, and went to the kitchen to make some scrambled eggs.
After dinner, the two went to Gu Chuanming's room. "This is a wool sweater from Hongmei for you."
"Hehe, not bad, it feels soft to the touch, and it'll still think of me even after it leaves."
"Yes, that's just the kind of person she is. She'll always think about the people who are important to her, as long as she has them."
"My judgment is really good."
"Yes, we have excellent judgment." Two influential figures sat here praising each other—a scene that probably no one would have expected.
"Old Master Gu, I spent more than two hours with Zhou Shixiong today. He wants to leave an heir for the Zhou family, but he doesn't want to use Zhou Jianwei, so I had someone bring Zhou Yuanqing over to see him today."
"I'm getting old and confused."
"In the end, he decided to find someone himself, which I was more than happy to do, because doing that is unethical."
"Shouyi, you didn't do anything?"
"No, why would I do it? I'd just get myself dirty."
"He's still the same. If you just do it directly, who would object? Why go through all this roundabout ways? He'll do this his whole life, doesn't he ever get tired of it?"
"Hehe, it doesn't matter. I don't care about any of this. Let him do whatever he wants."
"Let him be. He's had a hard enough life."
"Well, Mr. Gu, I have to go back to work overtime. You should rest."
"Go ahead, this is a letter for that girl, give it to her." Gu Chuanming handed Zhang Shouyi a letter.
"Hehe, I'll give it to her now, but I don't know when she'll see it. She's probably still asleep at this hour."
In front of Gu Chuanming, Zhang Shouyi's letter disappeared.
Gu Chuanming gave a thumbs up. The two exchanged a smile, and Zhang Shouyi left.
Suddenly I remembered that Zhang Hongmei had said she liked to eat steamed buns from the antique street. "Xiao Li, let's go buy some steamed buns."
"Yes, sir." Xiao Li arrived in his car, got out, and bought two steamers of food, which he packed in Zhang Shouyi's lunchbox.
Once I got to the office and was alone, I put the lunchbox inside. I hope this girl will like it; knowing her love for food, she should be happy.
Zhang Shouyi composed himself and immediately threw himself into his work. When the secretaries who had gone out for lunch returned, they were all startled to see Xiao Li sitting in his seat. Why was the boss back so soon today?
Everyone quickly sat down in their seats and got to work.
Zhang Hongmei waited until the dumplings were cooked before going downstairs. It wasn't that she didn't want to work, but there were too many people and she had no chance to contribute.
The men all gathered around Zhao Tiancheng, wanting his answers to many questions, while the women were all gathered in the kitchen making dumplings.
This afternoon, buying clothes brought several girls closer together, proving that shopping is a great way for girls to strengthen their friendships.
Zhang Hongmei looked around the kitchen and, finding no place for herself, simply found a spot to sit and listened to their conversation.
The students from the ten national universities were very envious of Cheng Guangxu and his classmates going to Peking University.
Zhao Tiancheng chuckled. "B University is good, but its computer science program is excellent. Other subjects are no different from those of national universities. So you don't need to be envious. Just work hard."
Your goals are all very clear, which is for the best. University life in the US is incredibly rich and fulfilling; you'll experience that in time. When you leave, I hope you'll all feel that your trip was worthwhile.
Zhang Hongmei listened to their conversation and thought that Zhao Tiancheng was also a talented person.
Upon hearing the knock, Zeng Zhongkang was the first to stand up and open the door.
