Chapter 49 Dating Invitation
Two words bloomed like dazzling fireworks in Su Pu's heart.
Su Pu originally wanted to throw off her apron and run up, but after thinking for two seconds, she decided to make Li Jichuan a cup of coffee instead.
Perhaps all the other person needed was his coffee, and he misunderstood.
Suppressing her pounding heart, Su Pu made a hand-drip coffee, chose the most pleasing-looking cup, packed it up, and took it upstairs.
He easily pushed open the door to Li Jichuan's office, where the other party had been waiting for a long time.
"Why are you so slow? Did someone bully you?"
Li Jichuan raised his head, a pair of silver-rimmed glasses perched on his nose.
Oh ho, what a refined scoundrel!
Su Pu secretly exclaimed, "Delicious, delicious!"
From the moment the little mute boy entered the door, his eyes were fixed on him until he stood before him.
Li Jichuan looked at Su Pu, whose expression didn't seem to indicate that she had been wronged, and he was finally relieved.
Su Pu smiled and placed the coffee on his table, explaining why she was late.
How was the consultation this morning?
Li Jichuan eagerly grabbed the takeout cup and began to taste it.
That's what good coffee is like; if you delay taking a sip even a second, you lose a bit of flavor.
Su Pu buried herself in typing, sharing her subtle feelings.
Strictly follow the instructions given by the consultant, seize the opportunity, and share your feelings.
However, he had only written half of his thoughts when someone knocked on Li Jichuan's office door.
There's nothing I can do; this person is always so busy.
Su Pu was about to return to the shop when she saw the person who came in, and she froze on the spot.
The other person was also a little confused when they saw him, but still walked straight over and stopped in front of Li Jichuan's desk.
"Hello, Mr. Li. I am Su Hui, the intern recommended by Mr. Li."
...
Instantly, Su Pu's face turned deathly pale, and her entire being was filled with resistance.
Why, why would this person want to intern at Li's? Doesn't their family own a company?
He won't argue with him...
Su Hui's purpose in coming here this time was very clear: to get close to Li Jichuan.
Su Pu stared in astonishment at her younger brother, who was dressed in a well-tailored bespoke suit, looking radiant and full of energy.
In comparison, Su Pu, dressed in a coffee shop uniform, looked so small that she was almost invisible.
"you……?"
Li Jichuan was also puzzled. How could just anyone dare to shove someone up next to him?
"Xiao Chuan, are you there?"
A woman's voice swaggered over, and she gracefully strolled to their side.
Li Shuwen appeared dressed in a flamboyant manner and affectionately put her arm around Su Hui's shoulder.
"Oh dear, I should have called you beforehand to let you know. It's all my fault, I've been so busy lately..."
Li Shuwen glanced at Su Pu and squeezed past him.
"Well, I've known Xiao Hui's dad for a long time. We were recently discussing a project, and I heard from President Su that his son was looking for an internship. He said that he would get more credits at a listed company, and there just happened to be a spot in the general secretary's office, so we arranged for him to come in!"
Li Shuwen asked, feigning politeness.
"It's alright, right? Xiao Hui is very smart, studious, and ambitious. She definitely won't cause you any trouble!"
Su Hui chimed in at the opportune moment, "Yes, President Li, I will definitely work hard!"
Li Shuwen offered a business partnership as leverage, so Li Jichuan naturally had to give her face.
In reality, her true intentions are quite obvious.
The cosmetics business has suffered a major setback and widespread criticism, leaving Li Shuwen severely weakened. It's time for her to switch gears and make a comeback.
Just then, Su Fengxian approached her with a bunch of collaboration projects. Having already secured so many resources in the early stages, coupled with the reputation of the Li family, she was certain to profit from this collaboration.
Li Shuwen agreed without much hesitation.
After the contract was signed, he chatted with the Su family father and son for a while longer and sensed that Su Hui was quite interested in Li Jichuan. In addition, she also needed a capable informant.
Su Hui swaggered into the General Secretary's Office.
Li Jichuan found this amusing.
Auntie, the Su family has sent us letters of intent so many times, how could he have never seen them?
There must be a reason why he doesn't choose to cooperate. Why would he insist on banging his head against a brick wall?
Li Jichuan remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
I was just worried about not having a chance to deal with this thing, but unexpectedly it came to me!
Li Jichuan tapped his index finger rhythmically on the armrest of his wheelchair.
"OK."
"If there's nothing else, you can go out now."
He was the only outsider present. Su Pu turned around, intending to leave.
"Hey, where are we going?"
Li Jichuan leaned slightly and grasped his wrist.
Su Pu: ?
"I'm waiting to see how you feel," Li Jichuan adjusted his glasses and squeezed the little mute's hand. "Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"
Li Shuwen was stunned for two seconds.
Wasn't it said that they got married just to appease the old man?
When did things become so good?
"Xiao Chuan, I was just introducing Xiao Hui to you..."
Li Shuwen couldn't help but scold him, "What are you doing?"
Li Jichuan nodded, his gaze still fixed on Su Pu.
“I know Su Hui. I also know you. Let’s leave it at that for now and wait for Echo to arrange a job for him.”
"You!" Li Shuwen was breathless.
"Xiao Hui is a postgraduate student at one of the UK's G5 universities..."
Hearing this, Su Pu really wanted to laugh.
Studying art at a science and engineering university, having to buy all the assignments... what kind of G5 university student is Su Hui?
At most, he's just a fool who had too much money and wanted to keep his children.
Compared to him, I'm still... a step behind...
Su Pu became listless again.
Compared to Su Hui, my resume is indeed unremarkable, and my abilities are not particularly outstanding...
The kitten beside him deflated, a fact that Li Jichuan noticed most clearly.
Why does Su have a preference, but Su Pu doesn't?
He's good in every way!
Li Jichuan cleared his throat and asked, "G5? Impressive! Which university did you attend, and what was your major?"
Su Hui's face darkened, and she bit her lip as she answered, "Imperial College, Western Art History..."
"Studying art history at a polytechnic university?"
Li Shuwen hurriedly defended herself, "Even in art history, the admission threshold is very high!"
“Alright,” Li Jichuan picked up his coffee and took a sip. “Aunt, do you know about Su Hui?”
“Our Xiao Pu won the runner-up title at the National Barista Grand Prix yesterday.”
Su Pu stood to the side, her heart suddenly sinking.
"Is that barista award really that prestigious?" Li Shuwen asked, her tone full of disdain.
"Of course, it's more prestigious than winning a long-distance race in a barista competition!"
Li Jichuan smiled and pointed, "Look at that big trophy, how shiny it is!"
Su Pu and the other two turned their heads together and looked at the storage cabinet against the wall.
Su Pu's trophy occupies the center position, polished to a shine, with pink ribbons strung on both handles.
Li Jichuan said proudly, "Isn't our Xiao Pu amazing?"
Su Hui's face turned ashen, but since it was her boss asking the question, she could only nod stiffly.
"Impressive, congratulations..."
Li Shuwen answered a phone call and left, leaving only a fleeting silhouette beside him.
...
The little mute boy was completely bewildered and went downstairs in a daze, returning to the coffee shop.
Li Jichuan actually placed his trophy right in the center.
The trophy was surrounded by all the awards Li Jichuan had received, from the Top Ten Outstanding Youths to the Promising Talents Under 25... Su Pu's trophy was mixed in with them, like a small caramel.
But in a hazy vision, Su Pu saw his trophy transform into a kitten standing with its hands on its hips.
With an air of arrogance that says, "I'm the best, everyone else better come and pay your respects to the Cat King!"
As Su Pu thought about it, she couldn't suppress the upturned corners of her mouth.
Should I share this feeling with Li Jichuan?
But he really does feel very happy right now...
After a few seconds of deliberation, Su Pu took out her phone and shared her feelings, also thanking Li Jichuan for valuing the award so much.
A moment later, Li Jichuan sent a reply.
What's so special about that?
[Since it's an award you received, it should be widely publicized; everyone in the family should be happy for you.]
However, I still feel this trophy is a bit too low. Maybe I'll buy a base after work tonight and raise it a bit?
Su Pu stared at the information, realizing that her feelings were indeed being taken seriously.
Your own feelings are really that important.
Ouyang saw Su Pu staring blankly at her phone and leaned over to take a look.
I just happened to see the last message Li Jichuan sent.
"Hey Su, you should leave work early tonight. I'll cover for you for half an hour."
Su Pu was puzzled.
Ouyang pointed to his phone, "Didn't President Li say he wanted to go on a date with you?"
Su Pu's expression froze as she looked at her phone.
So, Li Jichuan wanted to go on a date with him?
So they're going on a date tonight?
Aaaaaah!
