Su Lu’s fever had mostly subsided, with only a slight temperature remaining.
She didn’t take it too seriously, but Su Zhe was not at ease.
“Why don’t I stay here today, just in case your condition flares up again and there’s no one around?” Su Zhe said.
Su Lu quickly responded, “No need, no need, Brother!
I’m not that fragile, I’ll be fine soon.
Besides, I still have to go to the office, and you have your own things to take care of.”
“You are more important.” Though the statement carried weight, Su Zhe’s voice was light and calm, making it seem perfectly natural.
“If I can’t handle it, I’ll definitely call you,” Su Lu immediately assured him.
Su Zhe thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement, “If you feel unwell, you must say something.
Don’t just keep pushing through.
What do you think you are, a medicine pot always on the boil?
I know the misery of sickness; you know that.
So, don’t take your health lightly.”
That was why Su Zhe had always maintained good living habits.
He didn’t smoke, drank very little, slept and woke at fixed times each day, and exercised five days a week without fail.
Other than his love for sweets, it seemed he didn’t have any particularly unhealthy habits.
His fondness for sweets stemmed from childhood illness that restricted his sugar intake, so once he recovered, he developed a vengeful love for sweets.
Su Lu said, “I know.
Don’t worry.”
Although Su Zhe nodded, he still drove her to the company that afternoon.
That wasn’t the end of it.
As Su Lu was reviewing some reports that afternoon, Xu Ning hurriedly knocked and entered.
“Mr.
Su!” Xu Ning’s eyes sparkled as she approached.
Su Lu, puzzled, asked, “What is it?”
“Hehe, a very handsome guy is here to see you, he said he has something work-related to discuss,” Xu Ning laughed.
Su Lu guessed, “Cheng Yan?”
Xu Ning shook her head, “No, he said his last name is Qiao.”
“Qiao?” Su Lu quickly realized, “Qiao Li?
Let him in.”
Xu Ning promptly nodded, not rushing out but instead asking, “Boss, is this the person Brother Su sent to help you?
The one who’s going to lighten my load?”
Su Lu laughed, “Yes, didn’t I ask you to organize the materials for those projects we have piled up, and have him work on them?”
Xu Ning responded gratefully, “Yes!
I have them all organized and ready for him.
But you never told me he was so good-looking!
Working with a beauty makes the mood so much better!
Boss, I love you!”
Su Lu waved her hand smilingly, “Alright, go on.”
Xu Ning left briskly.
Soon, there was another knock on the office door.
Qiao Li entered, looking sharp in a suit with neatly groomed hair, exuding an air of professionalism.
He was quite attractive indeed, no wonder Xu Ning was impressed—there had been no one as good-looking in the company before, after all.
He walked in with a very polite smile, not the same as the last time they met.
He appeared much more formal now.
“Mr.
Su,” Qiao Li greeted with a smile.
Su Lu felt slightly uncomfortable, “Have a seat.”
Qiao Li sat down before her, “Sorry for being a few days late.”

“No problem.
Uh…” Su Lu thought for a moment, actually not knowing immediately how to proceed.
After pondering for a while, she tentatively said, “How about I place you in the secretariat for now?
Or do you have any other ideas?
I can have someone from HR come up and talk with you.”
Qiao Li shook his head, “No need to assign me a specific position.
Just assign me work as needed, and as for my salary, Su Zhe will take care of that.”
Su Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
Brother had indeed thought everything through.
Otherwise, she really wouldn’t have known how to place him.
Her company wasn’t large, and there really wasn’t a fitting position available for Qiao Li at the moment.
“Officially, I’ll just be your assistant or secretary,” Qiao Li said, “You don’t need to worry about the rest; Su Zhe will handle it.”
“Good, that’s settled then…” Su Lu nodded.
“That person just now was my secretary, Xu Ning.
She’s overwhelmed with backlog tasks, I would appreciate your help with those.”
“I can do that.
I’ll go and coordinate with her,” Qiao Li said.
Su Lu thought for a moment and then directed, “Then go find Xu Ning in the secretariat; she’ll arrange a workstation for you.”
As Qiao Li stood up and turned to leave, just before exiting, he suddenly turned back and instead of the formal ‘Mr.
Su’, he called out, “Lulu.”
“Hm?” Su Lu looked up at him.
She saw that Qiao Li’s smile was no longer purely professional but genuinely warm and sincere, “Today is my first day reporting at your company.
How about having dinner together with Brother Qiao Li tonight?”
Hearing the words “Brother Qiao Li”, Su Lu couldn’t help but shudder.
She looked at him with startled eyes.
Qiao Li smiled, “After all, it’s my first day reporting in.
Shouldn’t we celebrate with a good meal?”
Though Su Lu shuddered, she did not refuse and nodded, “We can have dinner together then.”
Qiao Li then went to find Xu Ning in the secretariat.
Afterward, Xu Ning visited Su Lu’s office twice more, each time happier than the last.
“Boss, Qiao Li is really amazing!
Truly a talent sent by Brother Su.”
“Boss, I arranged Qiao Li’s workstation diagonally across from mine.
Oh, an afternoon glance is a feast for the eyes with that handsome profile.
I feel it’s boosted my work efficiency quite a bit.”
Su Lu couldn’t help but laugh at her statement, “You weren’t this infatuated before.”
Xu Ning responded, “Boss, let’s be honest, did our company ever have anyone worth being infatuated over before?
It was either baldies or potbellies…
It’s been tough!”
Su Lu thought for a moment, “We’re going out for dinner with him tonight anyway, why don’t you join us, and you can handle the booking.”
“Sure!
Boss, I love you!” Xu Ning skipped out happily.
Su Lu thought to herself that Xu Ning had already confessed her love to her twice today.
It wasn’t easy.
Whether Brother had sent Qiao Li to help or not was yet to be seen, but in Su Lu’s mind, Qiao Li had a clear spot—at least as a morale booster among the staff.
No sooner had Xu Ning left her office than Su Lu’s phone vibrated twice.
She turned on the screen—it was a WeChat message.
A message from Bo Jingshen.
Su Lu blinked and quickly clicked on it.
Bo Jingshen hadn’t sent any text, just a string of “…”
Looking at the dots, Su Lu gave it some thought and replied.
“You’re awake?”
