Chapter 15: Have You Ever Heard of a Supor Rice Cooker? (Part 1)

At this moment, Gu Liyan had already shot a cold glare across at the person who was struggling to suppress the urge to burst into laughter.

He spoke with a certain sternness, "Su Poyang! Aren't you taking this a bit too far!"

This time, it was Zhou Xiaoru's turn to get nervous, and she hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

"Don't, President Gu, please don't be angry. President Su is just too concerned about you..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Su Poyang had already turned around on his own and walked toward the sofa.

He grabbed a paper bag from the sofa, then tossed it directly onto Gu Liyan, saying 'resentfully'.

"Your clothes."

After saying this, he walked straight out of the office without looking back, and before closing the door, he dropped one more sentence.

"This place, I'll leave it to you two."

".........." Gu Liyan was left completely speechless.

Zhou Xiaoru, however, had a look of utter despair!

It's over...

How is she supposed to survive at Tengyuan from now on?

She is completely done for; she really felt like crying but had no tears...

Little did she know that while she was mourning for herself, the man beside her was watching her with an amused expression...

Time, 7:30 PM...

Coordinates, 'Jiangcheng Wangyue' Grilled Fish Restaurant at Times Square...

Characters...

The four oddballs of the Dormitory!

It was the peak dinner hour, and this grilled fish restaurant was packed with people; in the hallway outside, many people were also sitting and waiting to eat.

Xiao Lan couldn't help but feel fortunate, "Good thing I came at three in the afternoon, otherwise how could we have eaten such succulent grilled fish so quickly?"

This place is an internet-famous spot, and the line of people waiting to eat every day could stretch all the way to Sanlitun.

Jiang Bufan, sitting opposite, wiped her fogged-up glasses while replying with a deadpan expression.

"You really go to great lengths for food, dragging me and A Xiang here to wait for nearly three hours; it's driving me crazy."

Yao Xiang laughed and wiped her nose, playing the peacemaker, "It's fine, it's fine. Didn't we get to eat? No pain, no gain."

Even though her legs were about to give out from the wait.

In the grilled fish platter on the table, the fish was still bubbling away, and the group chatted while they ate.

At this moment, Jiang Bufan glanced at the person sitting next to her who wasn't really joining the conversation and was just quietly devouring food.

"I say, babe, how many days has it been since you last ate? You're eating so much you can't even spare the time to talk."

Zhou Xiaoru picked up two cherry tomatoes from a small plate and stuffed them into her mouth, looking like she was in a rush to be reincarnated; she hadn't eaten lunch today, and she was starving.

"Don't you see the fish in this grill is talking?"

What?!

Upon hearing this, the others all stopped their chopsticks in shock, looking at the person still stuffing her face as if she were a lunatic.

Jiang Bufan even reached over in 'alarm' and pinched those slightly chubby cheeks.

"Babe, has your head been caught in the gates of Tengyuan Company?"

Annoyed, she swatted away the hand pinching her face, "Go, go, go, go play somewhere else. Look at this platter, bubbling away—this big fish is saying, 'Stop talking, come eat me, come eat me quickly.'"

"......." The other three immediately looked at the weirdo with expressions reserved for the mentally challenged.

Zhou Xiaoru had just picked up a piece of fish to put into her mouth, but seeing six eyes staring at her, she had to put it back down.

She pointed at the grill and said, "Look, you guys, the fish is talking again."

Xiao Lan, sitting opposite, immediately had three black lines on her forehead, "What is it saying this time?"

"Eat me up, eat me up."

"......."

This meal left Jiang Bufan and the others doubting their own intelligence...

After leaving the grilled fish restaurant, the group wandered around Times Square for a while.

The March night was still quite cold; Zhou Xiaoru was only wearing a crew-neck pullover, and after walking around the square, she started sneezing.

After returning to the office at noon today, she had been dejected for the entire afternoon, thinking that if things went on like this, the big boss Su might completely view her as a thorn in his side.

Then how would she be able to survive at Tengyuan in the future...

She thought she must find an opportunity to explain things clearly to Su Poyang.

It was fortunate that there was no one near the office at that moment, otherwise, their little 'love triangle' would have caused a sensation throughout the entire Tengyuan Building!

Looking at that 'submissive' Gu, he had an indifferent, couldn't-care-less expression...

Seeing this situation, Gu Liyan didn't seem like a submissive one.

Could it be...

That he is the dominant one?!

And this question had been bothering her for half the day...

She was truly afraid that if she kept going like this, her own sexual orientation would be led astray as well.

At this moment, Xiao Lan was pulling Yao Xiang to take photos under the landmark building of Times Square, and Jiang Bufan walked over to put her arm around Zhou Xiaoru's somewhat broad shoulders.

She comforted her, "Don't think about it, it's no big deal." Jiang Bufan knew she was worried about the Su Poyang matter.

"Sigh... It's not that I'm worried, it's just that I feel... it's quite distressing."

She had finally decided to let go of her past with Gu Liyan and not have any entanglements with him, but now...

Truly, it is a tangled mess that cannot be cut or sorted out!

"I see that your Vice President and Gu Liyan have known each other for more than a day or two. It's easy to bend someone, but hard to straighten them back out. Your Vice President wouldn't misunderstand you all, that's impossible."

"Exactly, exactly! Maybe a good night's sleep will fix it," Xiao Lan's voice joined in as well.

The corners of Zhou Xiaoru's mouth couldn't help but twitch again, "How come you only know how to talk about sleeping all day long? Besides, didn't you say it would be very painful? It hurts and you still want to sleep, are you sick?"

Xiao Lan gave a lewd smile, "This is what they call, painful yet happy, hehe..."

".........." The group couldn't help but bow down to this master of filth.

After strolling for a while longer, seeing that the time was about right, the group prepared to take a vehicle back to school.

As they walked, while passing a Japanese restaurant in the center of the plaza, a person happened to be walking out of the shop...

Xiao Lan was just about to excitedly call the others to look at a handsome man, but she was left completely confused by the person who suddenly jumped behind her to hide.

Zhou Xiaoru had already quickly hidden behind the group, only revealing two round eyes to observe the person not far away.

There is a good saying: speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives...

Although this 'Cao Cao' was ten minutes late, just like a delayed train, it did not hinder his eventual arrival.

She never expected to run into Su Poyang here!

Ever since she saw him during the interview, she had been 'coincidentally meeting' this person every other day; the frequency of these coincidental meetings was much higher than the frequency of her period.

It's just, what is the situation now...

At this moment, walking out with Su Poyang was a great beauty, and that great beauty was affectionately holding the arm of Big Boss Su.

Jiang Bufan looked strangely at the person hiding behind them with a vigilant expression.

"Have you seen a ghost?" She wondered why this person had become so superstitious after working at Tengyuan for a few days.

Seeing the two of them walking toward the other side, Zhou Xiaoru finally straightened up and pointed in the direction Su Poyang had left, saying.

"That, that is the Vice President of Tengyuan, Su Poyang!"

Upon hearing this, the three of them had eyes that flashed with intense light like remote scanners, locking onto the man not far ahead.

Xiao Lan even started complaining, "Why didn't you say so earlier? I haven't even seen his face clearly yet."

Yao Xiang, among the group, did not focus on this point; what she was confused about now was...

"Why is there a woman next to him? Xiaoru, did you see wrong?"

Isn't Su Poyang a couple with Gu Liyan! How could this be...

Zhou Xiaoru frowned; she couldn't have seen wrong. Su Poyang was wearing this exact outfit today, and she also felt doubtful about that beauty.

"I'm going to follow and check to confirm. You guys wait for me here. This Dianfan Guo is actually two-timing!"

The other three were stunned upon hearing this, "What Dianfan Guo?"

"I'll explain that to you later."

At this moment, Jiang Bufan grabbed the person who was about to leave, "Why should we wait here? If we're going, we go together! To catch an affair, you need two, let's go together!"

"Right, right, right! If you get KO'd by Su Poyang later, we can help you," Jiang Bufan immediately chimed in.

Zhou Xiaoru, ".........."

How could she have forgotten that these two were rare, once-in-a-millennium talents for being paparazzi? How could they be left out of something like this?

In the dark night, the four of them, acting sneaky just like a paparazzi team—when the people in front stopped, they stopped; when the people in front walked, they followed...

Keeping a distance, they followed behind the pair of handsome man and beauty, observing every move...

They saw the pair of lovebirds chatting and laughing, occasionally whispering in each other's ears,

And occasionally... posing and preening.

Among the four, Yao Xiang, who was the most scholarly, was still struggling with the topic of the Dianfan Guo from earlier. While following, she couldn't help but ask for clarification.

"Xiaoru, what did you mean by that Dianfan Guo earlier?" She had been thinking about it until now and still hadn't figured out where the joke was.

This topic immediately attracted the other two as well...

While staring intently at the figures in front, Zhou Xiaoru didn't forget to answer the questions of the curious babies beside her.

"Do you guys know the name of our Vice President?"

"We know, isn't it Su Poyang?" Xiao Lan replied.

"Then have you heard of Supor?"

Supor....

At this moment, an advertising slogan flashed into the minds of the three...

'Want to eat firewood-cooked rice? Use a Supor spherical pot Dianfan Guo.'

The gazes of the three immediately turned into looking at her like she was a lunatic...

She frowned and scanned them, "What? I didn't say anything wrong. Supor, Su Poyang, aren't they brothers!"

Jiang Bufan looked at her with even more disdain, "You mean, your Vice President is a pot?"

While speaking, they had unknowingly followed them out of the plaza...

They saw the handsome Big Boss Su put the beauty into a taxi and even affectionately gave the beauty sitting in the car a goodbye kiss...

Seeing this scene, Zhou Xiaoru was instantly shocked and immediately said with disdain.

"If this isn't a pot, what is? Stewing a man and a woman in one pot!"

The private lives of these high-level executives are truly too chaotic....

Before she could finish her daydreaming, the handsome Big Boss Su was already walking back. Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoru hurriedly urged, "Quick, quick, quick, retreat! He's coming over!"

The four of them were too conspicuous, so they hurriedly ducked outside a clothing store to the side...

The four stood outside the bright display window, staring at the clothes on the mannequins inside.

Xiao Lan even pointed at the clothes, awkwardly trying to find a topic, "These clothes are really pretty, hehe..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately received three 'caring' gazes. Those gazes seemed to say, the Oscars owe you a Best Acting Award!
