This time, unlike other designers and companies, they didn't have an unpleasant encounter with the big star. It seemed that Chang Qingchuan's introduction was of someone talented, capable, and reliable.
He was fortunate that he had brought Gu Susu along today.
After leaving Sasha's place, Gu Susu carefully held the dress she had changed out of and felt a sense of relief.
While Gu Susu was helping her try on dresses, she could tell that she was satisfied with them, but she kept being picky. This female celebrity truly had a lot of airs.
On the way back to the company, Lu Zhiming said to her, "Xiao Gu, if you have any ideas in the future, just say them. Don't have too many reservations. We designers live by our talent and inspiration, so there's no such thing as offending me."
"Okay, I understand." Gu Susu had already thought of how to modify it as soon as Sasha made the request.
However, her less-than-smooth career experiences had also taught her many things, such as not to overstep boundaries, not to be too flashy... attracting jealousy was not a good thing.
Now that she had met such an enlightened leader like Lu Zhiming, she knew how to proceed in the future.
Lu Zhiming then asked with concern, "Can this dress be altered tonight? What time did Miss Sasha ask you to deliver it tomorrow morning?"
Gu Susu glanced at the time on her phone; it was already seven in the evening. She replied, "Yes, no problem. She asked me to deliver it at eight in the morning."
Lu Zhiming said, "So early. Do you need me to send a company car to take you?"
"No, I plan to drive over directly from my place tomorrow morning." Gu Susu, thinking about the late hour, wondered if Yang Sijie's back injury had improved today and if Mark was taking good care of him.
"That's fine too." Lu Zhiming saw her glance at the time again and asked, "What's wrong? Do you have plans tonight?"
"Yes, something came up at home, but it's okay," Gu Susu said with a smile.
Lu Zhiming jokingly asked, "Is there a boyfriend waiting for you at home?"
Gu Susu smiled without answering. After returning to the company with him, she immediately drove to Yang Sijie's villa.
She put down her things and rushed to the second-floor bedroom to see Yang Sijie. She saw that Yang Sijie was already sitting up, and Mark was also in the room, standing beside him.
They were discussing stock prices and whether to sell, but as soon as they saw Gu Susu return, they immediately stopped talking.
Gu Susu didn't pay much attention to what they were discussing. She didn't like playing the stock market and wasn't interested in finance at all.
Seeing Yang Sijie sitting up instead of resting on his stomach, she said unhappily, "Brother Sijie, I told you to rest at home and recuperate. Why are you sitting up and looking at your laptop?"
Yang Sijie quickly straightened his back and said, "It's fine if I sit. Look, I'm not leaning on anything, and my back isn't touching anything."
"Alright, alright, is work that important?" Gu Susu walked over directly, snapped the laptop shut, and forcibly took it from his hands, ordering, "Turn over slowly and rest on your stomach."
Mark watched from the side, dumbfounded. Gu Susu's series of actions didn't anger Mr. Yang; instead, he obediently listened to her and lay down on the bed.
It was known that Mr. Yang never behaved like this in front of women. Today, he had truly opened his eyes. He wisely said, "Miss Gu, you're finally back. Mr. Yang has taken his medicine on time. As for the ointment for his back, I only applied a little. He said my hands were clumsy and wouldn't let me apply it, saying he wanted you to do it when you got back."
"Ah, Alan said yesterday that this ointment needs to be applied every three hours. How could it not have been applied all day?" Gu Susu looked at his burned back with concern.
"Exactly, exactly. But Mr. Yang wouldn't listen to me. It's good that Miss Gu is back. I'll be leaving now." Mark said, already turning to leave.
Gu Susu wanted to call Mark back to say something, but Yang Sijie said with a bit of pain, "Susu, my back feels so itchy now. Can you scratch it for me..."
"No!" Gu Susu was afraid he would scratch it himself and stopped him, saying, "No matter how itchy it is, you can't scratch it. I'll apply the ointment for you, and I'll blow on it if it's itchy."
Gu Susu quickly got the ointment, carefully applied it while blowing on it, and asked him, "Is it better? Is it still itchy?"
"Much better."
Seeing that he was no longer in so much discomfort, Gu Susu said, "Should I ask Alan to come and check your wound again?"
"No need. He already came to see me today and said that the wound on my back is recovering well."
Gu Susu felt much more relieved.
"You're back so late. Did you work overtime today?" Yang Sijie asked.
"Yes, you could say I worked overtime. I encountered a very picky client." Gu Susu sat on a nearby chair, feeling a little tired.
Yang Sijie said leisurely, "Little chatterbox, you don't have to tire yourself out like this. I can completely support you and Little Star now."
As soon as he mentioned Little Star, Gu Susu's heart ached again. As long as she was with Yang Sijie, Qin Tianyi would probably never return the child to her.
Seeing that she had fallen silent, Yang Sijie knew she was thinking about the child again. He said, "I'll hire the best lawyer, and I'll definitely help you get the child back."
"Forget it, there's no need." Gu Susu didn't want to sue Qin Tianyi for the child because she knew that when Little Star grew up and became sensible, he would be very sad and upset to know that his parents had been in court over him.
As Yang Sijie was about to say something else, Gu Susu quickly changed the subject and said, "Brother Sijie, should we report last night's incident to the police? We can't let those two get away with it."
"Reporting to the police might not be useful. Don't worry, I'm having someone investigate. Once I find out who did it, I definitely won't let them off lightly." Yang Sijie reached out and held her hand, asking, "Fortunately, you weren't injured. It's all my fault for offending someone in business."
Gu Susu felt that the two people were targeting her and that it had nothing to do with Yang Sijie. She squeezed his hand back and said, "No, I implicated you."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Have you eaten? If not, Mark ordered some takeout. Go heat it up in the kitchen and eat before resting."
Gu Susu got up and said, "Did you two eat takeout all day?"
"Of course. You can't expect Mark to cook anything delicious, so it's better to order takeout." Yang Sijie didn't see anything wrong with this.
Mark had eaten many delicious meals cooked by him after following him, but Mark still hadn't learned any culinary skills.
Gu Susu rolled up her sleeves and said, "That won't do. If you want to recover quickly, you need to supplement with the right nutrition. You probably haven't eaten well either. I'll make some fresh food."
Yang Sijie feared she would be too tired and tried to stop her, but she had already hurried out of the room.
He lay on the pillow and couldn't help but smile. He and Susu were back to how they were before, caring for each other and hurting for each other.
