The next morning, Su Ying put on her makeup and went out. She was stunned for a moment when she saw the moving figures in the living room.
She had been living alone for so many years, and suddenly there was another person in the house, which was still a little unaccustomed to. But fortunately, she was adaptable. By the time Fu Zheng looked at her, her expression had returned to normal.
"Good morning!" Fu Zheng greeted her with a smile and handed her the breakfast he had bought downstairs.
Su Ying thanked him, took the breakfast, and sat down at the dining table.
"Milk or coffee?" Fu Zheng shook the cup in his hand.
"Coffee." Su Ying hadn't slept well last night, and she felt she needed to perk up.
Fu Zheng handed her the coffee and took small sips of milk.
Such a well-behaved appearance was truly heartwarming.
Su Ying finished her breakfast in a few bites and told him about her work arrangements for the day. "I have a meeting this morning about the early spring collection. Please help me organize the materials."
"In the afternoon, I'm invited to participate in a program recording, and in the evening, I'll have dinner with the program crew..."
Besides being a fashion designer, Su Ying was also a well-known fashionista. Some occasions required opinions on styling, so consultants were hired for guidance. Su Ying was invited to be a consultant.
"Are you ready for Fashion Week abroad at the beginning of the year?" Fu Zheng asked.
"The design drafts are basically finalized, and the factory is rushing to produce them. It should be fine." Su Ying never fought battles she wasn't sure of. She adjusted her collar, reapplied her lipstick, and picked up her bag to leave. "I'm almost late for work, let's talk on the way."
Fu Zheng followed along agreeably.
His car was parked downstairs, but today they were driving Su Ying's car.
The two of them arrived at the company without attracting anyone's attention. Who would have thought that Fu Zheng slept at the boss's house last night, and they would assume he was just a competent driver who picked her up for work early.
"Good morning, President Su!"
"Good morning, Xiao Zheng."
As soon as the two entered the office, colleagues along the way greeted them with smiles.
Su Ying nodded slightly as usual and walked straight to her office.
Fu Zheng slowed down and habitually exchanged pleasantries with a few close colleagues.
Just then, the receptionist walked in with a large bouquet of fiery red roses, winking ambiguously at everyone. "Someone's sending flowers to our President Su again, what a grand gesture!"
"Wow, such a big bouquet, it must have cost a lot of money?"
"999 roses, thousands of yuan!"
"By the way, the person who sent the flowers has never shown their face. I'm really curious about their identity."
"Maybe it's President Su's secret admirer?"
"This person sends flowers every day, they're so persistent!"
"Unfortunately, one's affections are unreturned... President Su didn't even look at them and had them placed in the conference room!"
Girls always loved to gossip, and they gathered together to discuss in low voices.
"Hey, Xiao Zheng, you're with President Su every day, have you seen anyone close to the boss?" The girls all looked at him, trying to get information.
Fu Zheng casually glanced at the card on the bouquet and said, "President Su has plenty of suitors, but I haven't seen her treat anyone specially!"
"Even you don't know, it seems she's really not dating!" The light in the girls' eyes instantly dimmed.
"What should we do with these flowers?" The receptionist knew the boss's temper and didn't dare to send the flowers to her office rashly. She looked around the crowd and finally handed the flowers to Fu Zheng. "You're the boss's assistant, so this is your responsibility."
Fu Zheng couldn't have been happier.
He held the flowers and knocked on Su Ying's office door. After getting a response, he pushed the door open and entered.
Su Ying had just taken off her coat and was about to turn on her computer. She was quite surprised to see him holding a bouquet of flowers. "When did you buy flowers?"
Fu Zheng pouted, a little jealous. "I didn't buy them."
"Not you?" Su Ying blinked and suddenly remembered the anonymous admirer who had recently appeared.
She had clearly refused, and they still sent flowers, which was simply unreasonable.
Su Ying cleared her throat and said, "Since you didn't send them, take them to the conference room. Or, you can take them to the restroom."
It would be too wasteful to throw them away, and they could at least serve as decoration if placed in the room.
Hearing her say that, Fu Zheng's mood immediately brightened. "What era is this, sending roses? How cliché! And these flowers don't look fresh, they must have been here for days, no sincerity at all!"
Su Ying couldn't help but laugh and cry.
However, she didn't plan to waste time on this matter.
She still had a pile of work to do.
"Alright, stop joking and go get ready. See you in the conference room in ten minutes." Su Ying gave a few instructions and then buried her head in her work, no longer joking with him.
Seeing that her attention was not on this matter, Fu Zheng felt incredibly relieved.
His girlfriend was indeed devoted!
Devoted to her work, and devoted in her feelings!
His efforts were not in vain.

"Did Miss Su accept the flowers sent to her these past few days?" Tang Ren asked his secretary, flipping through his phone and replying to a few messages.
The secretary replied with a smile, "She accepted them! Mr. Tang, have I ever failed to get what you wanted?"
Seeing the secretary's perceptiveness, Tang Ren generously offered him a raise. "You did a good job with this."
He first affirmed his work and then pondered his next step. "Next, it's my turn to make an appearance. Book me a high-end restaurant and prepare a gift, I'll need it tonight."
"Mr. Tang's efficiency! It seems you're confident and will win the beauty's heart!" The secretary flattered him appropriately, saying only pleasant things.
Tang Ren raised his eyebrows with self-satisfaction.
When he made a move, no one could escape his grasp.
He believed Su Ying would be no different.
Under his fierce offensive, no woman could resist.
Flowers, candlelight dinners, and expensive jewelry were all romantic things women liked.
The secretary responded and immediately went out to make a call.
Tang Ren looked at his watch. It should be lunchtime. He chose the right moment and made a call. The phone rang twice before it was answered.
"Who is it?" The other party's pleasant voice came through the receiver.
"Miss Su, it's a pleasure to meet you. Did you receive the roses this morning?" Just hearing her voice made Tang Ren's heart flutter. He loosened his tie and spoke more gentlemanly.
The person on the other end of the line frowned and replied politely, "May I ask who you are?"
"My surname is Tang. Miss Su may not know me, but I have long admired you." Tang Ren paused. Seeing no reaction from the other party, he continued, "I wonder if I have the honor to invite Miss Su to dinner?"
