Chapter 20: New Office

Su Yu glanced over; no one was there!

Could they be in the lounge?

Su Yu looked at the assistant, who was also a bit surprised.

"Little General Manager Su, why don't you wait here for a while while I ask a colleague?"

Su Yu nodded, "Alright!"

Su Yu ran to the sofa and sat down. She was hungry, so she ate a small piece of cake first.

Chairman's Office

Su Xi entered shortly after Su Yu left.

"Grandma, are you looking for me?"

"Investigate Su Yu's situation in the Jiang Family thoroughly, especially her living conditions."

Su Xi nodded, "Alright."

Su Xi replied, "Grandma knows she previously lived with the Jiang Family? How come she calls Jiang Xiangxiang?"

That person is the Jiang Family's daughter. He was curious when he first heard it, but he got busy with other matters and never looked into it.

Ji Yan has nothing to do with the Jiang Family, right?

"This morning, when Ji Yan told me, you were in Xiao Yi's room with Xiao Yu; it wouldn't be appropriate to say that in front of Xiao Yu afterward."

Yang Zhichun told Su Xi about what Ji Yan said.

Yang Zhichun concluded, "Xiao Yu doesn't really like the Jiang family."

Su Xi nodded. Since she doesn't like them, he won't bring Su Yu when negotiating with the Jiang Family, and he'll also steer clear of Jiang Qiyu when Su Yu attends banquets.

"Then, is the heir training still scheduled for Su Yu?"

Yang Zhichun looked at Su Xi irritably, "You don't sense anything wrong at all, huh? Su Yu seems like a normal three‑year‑old child?"

"How is she not? She should be fine, Grandma, she's actually quite clever."

Su Xi originally wanted to say 'fine' and that she was as clever as she was in her childhood. But Grandma's expression was so sour that Su Xi changed course.

"You still want to say she's as clever as you were as a child? No wonder you still haven't brought me a granddaughter-in-law!"

"You aren't even as good as your own younger brother!"

"At least, the wife he married bore him children, and she still keeps him in mind to this day!"

Yang Zhichun tapped the table with the file in her hand as she spoke, growing more angry, and added, "You're not even better than three‑year‑old Su Yu!"

Su Xi: …Having a great‑granddaughter now makes the grandson a nuisance everywhere, right?

Su Xi felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to say so. He decisively used Su Yu as a shield.

"I'll go back and take her to the cafeteria to eat? She's probably hungry."

Yang Zhichun's meals must be precise; her lunch is handled by a dedicated staff and has already been delivered from the manor.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Yang Zhichun waved her hand; Su Xi went out, instructed the assistant to investigate Su Yu's past daily life, and then entered the office.

"No more dessert today!"

Su Yu glanced at the three small empty cake boxes in front of her, feeling a bit guilty.

"Alright! Uncle, where did you go?"

"I was checking your office for you."

Su Yu's eyes curved into crescents, her little mouth stretched, and in a sweet baby voice she said, "Thank you, Uncle!"

【Ah! I finally have my own office! I'm so happy! I used to think that coming to the company meant staying in Uncle's office watching other employees get trained.】

"Let's go to the cafeteria for a meal."

"Okay~"

Su Xi led Su Yu to the cafeteria.

【The feeling of being in the spotlight, how exhilarating!】

Su Yu kept a straight face, mimicking Su Xi's expression, not looking aside, and walked forward in big strides.

【Stay calm, don't laugh!】

The two walked together to a private booth. Su Xi placed the order, and Su Yu's heart bubbled with joy, her little feet swinging as she recollected the moment.

When she and Uncle appeared, the whole room fell silent, the effect comparable to a silencing curse in a novel or a main character's entrance in a movie!

【Everyone's looking at me! So many people are calling me cute and stylish…】

Su Xi was forced to listen to Su Yu constantly praising herself. He was convinced she wasn't like a three‑year‑old child. He hadn't been that narcissistic even when his brother was three.

"Knock, knock!"

"Please come in!"

The waiter placed the dishes on the table, and Su Xi, watching Su Yu still lost in her self‑praise, said, "Time to eat!"

Su Yu looked up, "Where's Great‑Grandma?"

The waiter had already left. Su Yu frowned, noting that only the two of them were here. Did something happen at home, causing Great‑Grandma to return early?

"Your Great‑Grandma's meals are all prepared at home and delivered here."

"Alright!"

Su Yu obediently went to the sink beside her, washed her hands, and picked up chopsticks and a bowl to eat.

It was still Su Xi's first time feeding a child alone. At first, watching Su Yu pick up dishes and scoop rice by herself without choking, he felt a bit relieved, thinking the child was easy to handle. But then he noticed that out of ten times she grabbed food, nine were pieces of meat, and once she took a meatball with vegetables. She barely touched any pure vegetables.

"Eat more greens!"

Su Yu pouted, intending to argue, but remembering she was only three, she weakly picked up a few greens; her expression while eating them looked even more wilted than the cooked vegetables.

Su Xi was satisfied. After the meal, he took Su Yu to see her office.

【It's actually right next to my uncle's?】

【Wow, there's even an exclusive little nameplate!】

【Double-door office!】

【The space is so big!】

【Um…… but why is there no computer on the desk? If the person in charge of purchasing hasn't bought one yet, can I make a request?】

Su Yu looked left and right; aside from having a few extra books and the office lacking a computer, the other furnishings were fine. The decor was in warm tones, and there were some green plants in the room, which she liked.

"This is your office."

"Mm-hmm!"

"I'm next door; if you have anything, feel free to come find me anytime!"

Su Yu saw Su Xi about to leave and quickly grabbed him.

【No, you're just leaving like that?】

"Uncle, where's my computer?"

"What computer?"

"The computer that's supposed to be on the desk. I'm the heir; I need to clock in for work. Also, I need to check the emails the company sends out."

【Am I not the heir? How can an heir not be given a computer? Did HR forget to equip me? With a computer and then a phone, I'd be the most suave kid in the whole company! I could experience the life of playing on my phone at work without getting docked pay!】

Su Yu looked at Su Xi with an expectant expression.

Su Xi likewise looked at her, understanding quite a bit and thinking quite nicely!

Su Xi reached out and rubbed her head, speaking earnestly: "You're only three years old, so you don't have a computer. As for the documents, they'll send a copy to you; if you have any questions, feel free to come ask me anytime!"

"??? Then, those books?"

Su Yu trembled as she pointed to the books on the four bookshelves, a bad feeling arising in her heart.

【They couldn't all be for me, could they?】

The four bookshelves are all low, each with only three tiers; Su Yu can reach them by raising her hand.

"Yeah, they're all books I've read before. Don't worry about not being able to see them at home; we have an identical set at home."

【Do you think you're being very thoughtful? Thanks!】

Su Yu closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the urge to swear.

【I'm a good kid!】

【I'm a good kid!】

【I'm a good kid!】

After silently chanting three times, Su Yu calmed a bit: "Uncle, I'm fine staying here alone; you go get busy."

【I just want some quiet……】

"If there's anything you don't understand, you can also come find me."
