"That's pretty much it!"
Gu Xinyan smiled and patted Su Ruowei on the back, displaying an expression of complete control.
Gu Xinyan and Su Ruowei have been friends since they were little. Gu Xinyan knows Su Ruowei's temperament and personality better than anyone. She has always been competitive and unwilling to admit defeat.
Lin Fan nodded slightly, seemingly understanding, thankfully the matter was settled.
Su Ruowei and Gu Xinyan continued searching for information online. Gu Xinyan read aloud while looking at her phone:
"The recruitment ceremony for partners of Xinbaimei Company will be held at 10:00 AM the day after tomorrow at Shancheng Huafu."
"To register, you can register directly on the Shancheng Group's official website."
"The person in charge of this project is Song Xu."
"President Song is in charge of this project?" Su Ruowei said in surprise.
Gu Xinyan smiled and said, "Is that the person you worked with before? Looks like he's been promoted!"
Lin Fan arranged for Song Xu to be in charge, since he was quite familiar with Song Xu. Song Xu had behaved properly when dealing with the cooperation with the Su family before and had not done anything out of line.
Based on these considerations, Lin Fan decided to use him one more time.
Gu Xinyan continued looking at her phone, then suddenly her eyes lit up: "Before the recruitment ceremony, there will be a jewelry exhibition as a warm-up event, and the partner is Gu Dasheng Jewelry!"
Gu Dasheng is the name of Gu Xinyan's father. When Lin Fan helped the Gu family collect debts from the Shanhai Chamber of Commerce, he promised Gu Xinyan a cooperation between the Shancheng Group and the Gu family.
From then on, the Gu family became the designated partner of Shancheng Group in the jewelry industry, and the Gu family rose from a second-tier family in Shancheng to a near-first-tier family.
But Lin Fan didn't expect Song Xu to pull something like this.
However, Lin Fan could understand that Song Xu had finally been promoted to be in charge of a big project, and he definitely wanted to make a good impression on his superiors.
Gu Xinyan left not long after, still very excited before she left.
As soon as Gu Xinyan left Su Ruowei's company, she sent Lin Fan dozens of thank-you text messages.
As it was nearing the end of the workday, Lin Fan saw Su Ruowei hurriedly packing her things, eventually ending up with a large bag full of documents.
"Ruowei, what are you doing?" Lin Fan asked, puzzled.
Su Ruowei sat down at the table again and organized the electronic documents: "Weren't we going to try out the Bai Mei Company project? I plan to work on a few plans at home tonight."
Lin Fan walked behind Su Ruowei and watched her skillfully pack hundreds of documents.
"Wasn't the proposal we discussed with Shi Yongnian before quite good?"
Lin Fan touched his neck and continued, "Just try that one."
Lin Fan had seen the previous plan before, and it was indeed outstanding. He originally thought that Su Ruowei would directly submit that plan to the project, and then it would be approved and implemented.
Unexpectedly, Su Ruowei is now going to great lengths to create something new.
Su Ruowei looked up at Lin Fan: "That can be improved a bit more."
After saying that, she lowered her head and continued with her work.
"Okay," Lin Fan replied softly. Judging from Su Ruowei's seriousness now, it was impossible to tell that she had just refused to participate.
Su Ruowei suddenly spoke up: "If you're going to do it, do it well. Even if you don't get selected, you should still give it your all and not leave any regrets for yourself."
"Ah."
Lin Fan smiled knowingly. With Su Ruowei's attitude, even without being pre-selected, she was still extremely competitive.
When Su Ruowei got off work, she took her laptop home, as if she was going to work from home.
At 11 p.m., the bedroom light was still on. Su Ruowei sat at her desk typing on the keyboard, wearing a pair of anti-radiation glasses, which made her look more intellectual.
Lin Fan lay on the bed watching Su Ruowei's back. Four hours had passed since 7 o'clock, and Su Ruowei had been working the whole time.
"what--"
Lin Fan couldn't help but yawn, feeling a bit bored and sleepy.
"Honey, did I disturb your sleep? I'll go to the next room."
Su Ruowei glanced back with concern, immediately began saving the file, and prepared to pack up and take her laptop next door to continue working.
Lin Fan quickly waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't affect me at all, I'll read too."
After saying that, Lin Fan took out "Tong Gu Bo Jin" and prepared to read it a second time.
"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible. If you're sleepy, go to sleep first." Su Ruowei stopped tidying up, sat back down, and continued working.
Time passed by, and it was nearly 3 a.m. when Su Ruowei finally finished her work.
Lin Fan had already fallen asleep while holding the book.
Su Ruowei stretched and wanted to turn around and tell Lin Fan that she had finished her work, but she saw that Lin Fan had already fallen asleep, and when she looked at the time, it was almost 3 o'clock.
I didn't expect it to be so late.
Su Ruowei carefully got up, and just as she was about to turn on the bedside lamp, she caught a glimpse of Lin Fan's exposed lower abdomen.
Lin Fan fell asleep without even taking off his clothes, and somehow his stomach was exposed.
Su Ruowei looked at the gleaming abs, and a blush crept onto her face.
Suddenly, Su Ruowei thought of something, quietly opened the bedside table, and took out a few silver needles.
She climbed onto the bed, came to Lin Fan's side, pointed above Lin Fan's abdomen, located the acupoints, and then inserted the needle.
"I go!"
Lin Fan suddenly woke up, startling Su Ruowei.
"Ruowei, what's wrong with you again?" Lin Fan noticed the silver needles in his abdomen and was confused.
Su Ruowei casually removed the needles: "It's nothing, I was just practicing my acupuncture skills and cultivating my character—"
"I'm going to wash up, you can continue sleeping."
Su Ruowei climbed out of bed to wash up, leaving Lin Fan alone on the bed in a mess.
Why is Lin Fan so vigilant? When will he ever be cured of this illness? Su Ruowei sighed inwardly.
Lin Fan rubbed his stomach on the bed, looking at the time, it was already 3 a.m., and he was worried that his wife might be exhausted again.
Fortunately, she doesn't have to go to the company tomorrow, so Su Ruowei plans to finish the proposal at home and go directly to Shancheng Huafu the day after tomorrow.
The next day, Lin Fan was bored out of his mind at home, while Su Ruowei spent all her time, except for eating and going to the toilet, sitting at her desk revising the plan over and over again.
Around noon, Lin Fan couldn't hold back any longer: "Ruowei, let's go out for dinner tonight. It's been so long since we've eaten out."
"I just had lunch, what's the rush?" Su Ruowei replied while typing on the keyboard.
"All right--"
Lin Fan lay on the bed with his legs crossed, staring at the ceiling idly.
No, I'm so cooped up, I need to go out for a walk.
I haven't had a moment's rest since I got back, and I really can't stand having a moment's free.
"Ruowei, I'm going for a walk by myself," Lin Fan asked tentatively.
Su Ruowei looked at Lin Fan in confusion: "Go ahead, why are you asking me? If you want to go, just go."
Lin Fan was stunned for a moment. Indeed, this was no longer the time when he had to report everything he did, but why did he still subconsciously want to ask that question?
Could it be that it's already deeply ingrained in one's heart?
Then, Lin Fan comforted himself, saying that this wasn't fear of his wife, but love for her.
"Don't wander around, go home on time."
Su Ruowei glanced at her watch: "It's 1 p.m. now. I need to be home before 6 p.m.."
For some reason, Su Ruowei said these words very naturally, as if it were a pre-arranged procedure.
Lin Fan stood ramrod straight and even saluted Su Ruowei: "Understood! Mission accomplished!"
Su Ruo smiled and waved her hand: "Go, Pikachu."
