Chapter 162: It’s not the right time!
Although Xu Shaoyu was discharged from the hospital, he was still weak.
Since they wanted to hide the car accident from everyone, it was natural that Xu Shaoyu's injuries could not be made too obvious.
On the surface, Yan Ruo held his left hand, as if she couldn't wait to show her love, but in fact she was protecting his injured arm.
On the one hand, you can let his arm rest on your hand for leverage, and on the other hand, it can prevent others from accidentally touching you.
Although few people in the entire Xu Group dared to get so close to him, it was always necessary to be prepared.
The two of them walked through the first floor lobby, took the special elevator, passed the president's office, and entered the president's office, all under the gossiping gazes of the crowd.
Yan Ruo felt relieved only when Xu Shaoyu sat down calmly and was willing to tell her that everything was fine.
She glanced at Xu Shaoyu's left hand, which was resting on the armrest of the chair. After removing the fixation strap, only the fracture fixator was left, which was completely hidden in the sleeve and could not be seen from the outside.
Xiao Zhang didn't follow him upstairs. Special Assistant Liu had just gone out, and there were only the two of them in the office.
Seeing Yan Ruo circling around him with a worried look on her face, Xu Shaoyu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
He raised his intact right hand and gently stroked Yan Ruo's face with a soft voice.
"It's okay, it will only take an hour or two, it will be fine."
Yan Ruo sighed, "You're already sitting here, what's the point of me worrying?"
"You took off the straps when you got off the car, and then you walked up like this. How does your left hand feel? Will the bones shift?"
"Haven't we asked the doctor? It's okay to not wear a sling for a short period of time. And my hand was resting on yours the whole time, so I didn't use any force at all."
"Don't endure any discomfort."
"good."
The two were about to say something when there was a knock on the door. Yan Ruo quickly stepped back.
Yan Ruo raised her head and looked towards the door, and happened to meet Secretary Chen's gaze. To be honest, it was quite embarrassing to meet her former colleague in this situation.
It was hard to say anything, so I could only smile at her.
Secretary Chen came to deliver coffee, and it was obvious that it was the flavor Xu Shaoyu was used to.
only……
When Secretary Chen turned around, Yan Ru quickly took some of the coffee away and whispered to Xu Shaoyu, "Don't drink this yet."
Then he followed Secretary Chen out of the office.
Secretary Chen was a little confused when he heard the footsteps behind him. "Sister Ruoruo, is there anything I can help you with?"
"I do have something to tell you." Yan Ruo followed Secretary Chen to the tea room and softened her tone.
"When Mr. Xu was discharged from the hospital yesterday for a checkup, the doctor said his stomach wasn't feeling well. He'd better not drink tea or coffee this month. So, prepare some warm water and milk for him."
After hearing Yan Ruo's words, Secretary Chen was not annoyed at all by being criticized. His eyes were full of longing for gossip.
She cautiously probed, "Sister Ruoruo, you've been staying by Mr. Xu's side these days while he was having surgery?"
Yan Ruo touched his ear and said vaguely, "Haha, it's just a coincidence that I came to North City to do business during this period."
"That's quite a coincidence."
Secretary Chen opened the drawer where the scented tea was kept as he spoke, and found Yan Ruo's favorite rose tea.
"So, the girlfriend Mr. Xu officially announced a while ago is you."
"I think... yes." Yan Ruo felt a little uncomfortable when someone gossiped about her in front of her.
This was a rare opportunity, and Secretary Chen didn't want to let it go easily. She pushed the brewed rose tea to Yan Ruo's hand.
"Everyone says the rose tea we purchased this time is particularly good. You should try it."
"OK, thanks."
"Someone in the Publicity Department said you were dating Mr. Xu, but no one believed it. I didn't expect it to be true."
Propaganda Department, that should be the last time I attended Su Qiao’s wedding, a few people from the Propaganda Department saw Xu Shaoyu going to pick her up.
Yan Ruo smiled awkwardly, poured Xu Shaoyu a glass of milk and prepared to leave.
Secretary Chen was obviously not satisfied.
"Sister Ruoruo, when did you get together with Mr. Xu? I saw you two walking together in the company every day before, and I didn't even notice."
Yan Ruo looked up at the ceiling and lied, "We just confirmed our relationship a while ago."
"So you quit your job to avoid an office romance?"
"No, it's simply because... distance creates beauty. After I resigned, when I look at Mr. Xu again, I no longer have that dark filter that my boss had."
This made Secretary Chen laugh out loud, and Yan Ruo took the opportunity to rush to the president's office with milk and flower tea.
As soon as he opened the door, Xu Shaoyu and the technical manager standing in front of his desk looked over.
Yan Ruo had a professional smile on her face and calmly placed the milk next to Xu Shaoyu.
Then he walked out with the scented tea as if nothing had happened.
"Where are you going?" As soon as his hand was on the door handle, Xu Shaoyu's low voice came from behind him.
Yan Ruo turned around and said, "You guys talk about business, I'll go out for a walk first."
Xu Shaoyu pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "Sit there and wait for me for a while. If you feel tired, go to the lounge in the back."
Facing the technical manager's scrutiny, Yan Ruo could only laugh dryly.
"I'd better sit here for a while."
I don’t know if Special Assistant Liu had reminded us in advance, but both the technical department manager and the subsequent investment department manager were very quick in reporting their work and discussing things.
In less than two hours, the discussion was basically over.
However, as expected, Xu Shaoyu had not come to the company for nearly two weeks, and the people looking for him were not just the managers of the technical and investment departments.
After them, several more senior executives came over.
Three hours passed, but the company's affairs were still endless, and Yan Ruo's face couldn't help but look a little ugly.
She stood up with a sullen face and left the office, preparing to go to the tea room to pour Xu Shaoyu a glass of warm water.
Seeing her come out, everyone in the president's office looked over, and Yan Ru was startled.
His expression paused for two seconds before he forced out a slightly stiff smile.
Then he walked quickly towards the tea room.
As soon as she left a little, the people in the president's office immediately started whispering to each other.
"Secretary Yan looked so unhappy just now. Did he have an argument with President Xu?"
"I don't think so. Several senior executives just went in. They can't possibly quarrel in front of others."
"I think he's angry because Mr. Xu is too busy with work to pay attention to her."
"Mr. Xu is good-looking and rich, but his biggest flaw is that he's too obsessed with work. Being his girlfriend must be tiring. Even Secretary Yan, who has such a good personality, can't stand it."
"Tsk, what do you know? For Secretary Yan, who comes from an ordinary background, to be able to marry Mr. Xu is already a blessing from past life. How can she have the right to be angry?"
"Exactly. Don't you see how many wealthy ladies in North City are lining up to marry Mr. Xu?"
"So what? Mr. Xu didn't like anyone else, so he chose Sister Ruoruo."
…
Yan Ruo had no idea what the people in the president's office were talking about behind her back.
She stood at the door of the tea room, listening to the chatter inside, which was quiet but still lively.
She secretly lamented that she had come at a really bad time, as she happened to encounter people talking bad about her behind her back.
