Chapter 84 Come visit me more often
Su Pu has been sleeping in the guest room where Li Jichuan sleeps lately.
When I went out this morning, I saw Uncle Wang coming from the opposite direction, and I felt quite embarrassed.
Uncle Wang, unfazed, patted his head and asked, "Did you sleep well, child?"
Su Pu nodded, and Uncle Wang smiled, "That's good. Are you hungry? Go and have some breakfast."
Once inside the restaurant, the family gathered together. Li Jichuan cracked an egg and slowly peeled the shell clean with his slender fingers.
As soon as Su Pu sat down in the chair next to him, the clean egg landed on his plate.
Li Jichuan wiped his fingers, looked up and saw Changchang grinning mischievously at the two of them. Suddenly, he did something funny and took the eggs from Su Pu's plate.
Su Pu had just sat down when it took her two seconds to realize what was happening, and she immediately became a little anxious.
In the past, Changchang and Mantian often joked with Su Pu, who would just chuckle and know that they meant no harm. But being too clumsy to know how to play along, they simply let it go.
But today, Su Pu suddenly stood up, snatched back his egg while Chang Chang was still in shock, and even punched and smashed the half-eaten sandwich on Chang Chang's plate.
The whole family was stunned and stared at Su Pu.
The woman, meanwhile, calmly and carefully placed her husband's peeled egg in the center of the plate.
He had only one thought in his mind: this was given to him by Li Jichuan, and no one could take it away from him!
Changchang looked anxiously at the flat sandwich on the plate, while Mantian tugged at his sleeve and pulled him back into his chair.
"Um, Madam, I'm so sorry..."
Changchang was losing face. Su Pu and Li Jichuan were very lenient with them, and his jokes were becoming increasingly inappropriate.
Su Pu didn't reply immediately. After a few quiet seconds, a peeled egg appeared next to the flat sandwich.
Meeting his gaze, Su Pu winked at him again and smiled shyly.
That look in his eyes seemed to be negotiating with him:
If you like eggs, I'll peel them for you, but don't take mine!
...
As the daily work at the coffee shop gradually became more stable, the staff were no longer as paranoid as they had been when Su Pu first returned.
That day, Su Pu had just made a cup of premium hand-drip coffee and placed it on the food counter.
The receptionist glanced at the order form and asked, "Hey, Su Pu, aren't you going to deliver coffee today?"
Su Pu was focused on wiping the control panel when he heard his name called and turned around.
"Should I deliver coffee?" he typed on his phone.
Muscle memory has been a great help; Su Pu has recently returned to typing communication, using the latest smartphone.
“Yes,” the waiter said, holding the order slip and pointing to the address on it, “you’re usually the one who delivers the premium hand-drip coffee to the CEO’s office.”
Su Pu slowly realized what was happening.
Did I used to deliver coffee to my husband?
Having been in and out with Li Jichuan so often, the building security guards had long recognized Su Pu. Upon seeing him, they immediately swiped the key card to open the private elevator for him.
Su Pu went up to the top floor and, as he approached the president's office, he heard Li Jichuan's voice reprimanding people coming from inside.
"Why do things still go wrong despite my repeated instructions? This contract is so important. We're signing it tomorrow. If we go with such a big mistake, who will bear the loss?"
The door wasn't closed, and Su Pu saw four or five employees standing opposite Li Jichuan, all with their heads bowed.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, we made such a basic mistake. It was due to my inadequate supervision."
Another employee timidly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "But the contract hasn't gone through the final review yet. You said you wanted to see it, so we brought it to you on short notice?"
"Oh?" Li Jichuan raised an eyebrow and asked in return, "So, my timing for this job was off?"
The employee bowed and shook his head, "I'm sorry..."
"The error in the numbers is one of the most important clauses in this contract. I'm just questioning you. How could a team of five people make such a basic mistake in the early stages?"
The person who appeared to be the team leader replied, "President Li, I'm sorry, yesterday President Li suddenly called our team to discuss an urgent project for her, and the workload suddenly increased, which is why we weren't able to discover this data error at the beginning..."
Li Jichuan loosened his tie and said softly, "Hmm."
Seeing his expression, the other party understood, "How about I let you check the documents that President Li asked me to review first, so you can understand the progress of each business?"
Li Jichuan nodded and then released the man.
Five employees walked out with their heads down, looking as wilted as eggplants.
The girl who just retorted was quite opinionated. "It's one thing for the two bosses to fight, but they take it out on us laborers all the time. It's just a job, why make it so tense..."
When her supervisor heard this, he turned around, looking helpless, and whispered a reminder, "Say less, quickly revise the contract, check it again, and put it on President Li's desk before you leave work."
As they passed Su Pu, the girl made eye contact with him, and after a moment's thought, she realized who he was and was instantly terrified.
Su Pu was at a loss. Holding her coffee, she quickly went into the office.
...
Having just vented his anger, Li Jichuan was also feeling uneasy.
He closed his eyes to calm himself down, not even noticing when the little mute boy walked up to him.
Li Jichuan didn't open his eyes until Su Pu placed the takeaway coffee cup on his desk with a dull thud.
Why are you here?
Li Jichuan still had two faint marks from his glasses on the bridge of his nose, which looked quite amusing, like an enraged immortal being dragged down to earth and turned into a miserable low-level boss.
Looking at the faint bluish tinge under his eyes and the stubble on his lips, Su Pu felt that Li Jichuan was truly alive and real at this moment.
As if possessed, Su Pu reached out and grasped one of Li Jichuan's hands, beginning to massage it from the palm.
This process was all too familiar to Su Pu; he probably used to massage Li Jichuan like this all the time.
Li Jichuan rested his head on the headrest of the wheelchair, his eyes half-closed, watching him intently.
"Xiao Pu..."
By the time Su Pu started kneading his wrist, Li Jichuan's voice had completely softened.
He grabbed Su Pu's hand and pulled her onto his lap.
Su Pu was startled and instinctively looked towards the door.
You should know that Li Jichuan's office is completely transparent, both the door and the exterior walls...
Snap—
Li Jichuan pressed the remote control, and the entire glass instantly turned into an opaque white.
Putting down the remote, Li Jichuan held up his hand, which had just been massaged by Su Pu, and waved it.
"Xiao Pu, you don't need to remember this habit."
"My fatigue doesn't come from you; on the contrary, seeing you makes me feel more relaxed than if I had ten massages."
Li Jichuan's embrace was airtight, enveloping Su Pu completely.
He lowered his head and gently inhaled the fragrance of his lover's hair.
"So, if you really want to help relieve your fatigue, come visit me more often..."
...
After the afternoon meeting ended, Li Jichuan led Anderson and John from the large conference room to his office.
As he passed by the office area, he saw several secretaries laughing heartily. Su Pu stood among them with his back to him.
A sweet fragrance filled the air. Su Pu lowered her head to type, then picked it up to show them.
Echo leaned closer and read his words:
"President Li may look fierce, but he is actually a very gentle person. He bought cakes and coffee for everyone, hoping that while everyone is working hard, they will not forget to balance work and rest."
Echo has been with Li Jichuan since he joined the company, and knows very well what kind of person her boss is.
According to Li Jichuan's logic, the company purchases employees' working hours, ensuring that employees work within reasonable hours, without overtime or single day off, which can already be considered a "benefit".
With his low emotional intelligence, he'd never think of such a caring gesture again... and even if he did, he'd probably think it was unnecessary.
Just as she was thinking this, passing Su Pu's shoulder, Echo saw Li Jichuan behind him.
So she asked with a smile, "Is it only for us? Do other departments get some too?"
Su Pu nodded emphatically.
Both are available.
“Oh,” Echo continued with a smile, “That’s wonderful. I’ve never had afternoon tea from President Li in my lifetime. I’ll get the whole company to write him an email to thank him later.”
“Echo”.
"We can't let her cause any more trouble," Li Jichuan said in a deep voice, and remotely controlled the wheelchair to stop next to the little mute girl.
He glanced at the people surrounding Su Pu and said, "Take the food and hurry up to work. You won't get overtime pay if you work overtime because of delays."
With everyone's spirits dampened, Li Jichuan coughed and squeezed Su Pu's small hand.
"Come with me..."
