1217 Everyone Looked Up To Him
That simple word made Rong Si’s heart pound violently. A burning sensation surged in his chest, as if something was burning passionately.

His eyes burned into hers. “Say it again.”

His expectant gaze embarrassed Su Jiu a little. Suddenly, she could not say it. “We’ll talk about it later. We’re not married yet.”

“But I want to hear it.”

“No, we’ll talk about it later.”

Helpless, Rong Si could only stroke her hair. “Okay, then. I’m leaving.”

“Go, go. Wait for you to get off work.”

When Rong Si saw how obedient she was, his heart throbbed. He couldn’t help but kiss her forehead again before letting go of her reluctantly.
…

In the blink of an eye, two months had passed, and the Spring Festival was approaching. The streets were decorated with bright red lanterns and various other decorations, and the atmosphere for the New Year was lively.

Su Jiu stopped her work a week in advance and went home to spend the New Year with her parents and grandfather.

Now that Su Guobang was old, he especially hoped that Su Jiu would accompany him. Once, she was invited to a television performance gala program during the New Year and could not go back to eat dinner with her grandfather.

At the time, her grandfather had been depressed for the entire day. He had called and complained like a child, saying that the family had more than enough money to buy the television station. There was no need for her to miss the New Year’s Eve dinner just for that little performance fee.

He even said that he was old. His life was getting shorter and shorter. She was not allowed to do this next time, or he would get angry.

Su Jiu did not know whether to laugh or to cry, but she felt that what her grandfather said made sense.

She should spend more time with him.

So much so that even if she received many invitations every year, she would politely decline them.

Tonight was New Year’s Eve. Su Jiu had already invited Song Wanqiu and Sheng Tianci’s family over for a reunion dinner, including Rong Si.

However, Rong Si was a workaholic. It was already three in the afternoon and almost time to prepare for New Year’s Eve dinner. Yet, he was still working overtime in the company!

Su Jiu decided to pick him up personally.

The R.S. Corporation, which was once the Rong Corporation, was located in the central business district in the center of the city. The magnificent modern buildings seemed to tower into the clouds. It was a landmark building in the center of the city.

Ever since Rong Si had taken over the corporation, he had thought of changing its name. However, when he thought about how R.S. could also be interpreted as his and Su Jiu’s surnames, he decided not to change it. He treated it as a brand-new company that belonged to him and Su Jiu.

After getting out of the car, Su Jiu looked up at the office building and suddenly felt emotional.

It seemed like a long time had passed since she first came here.

However, her mood was completely different. Previously, she had seen Rong Si with hatred in his eyes here, but now, he was the person in charge. Nothing could stop him from advancing.

She believed that it wouldn’t be long before he would sit on the top seat in the business world and be looked up to by everyone.

Su Jiu took the elevator all the way to the CEO’s office. When she saw that Rong Si was still reviewing documents, she pulled him out without a word. “You’re not allowed to work overtime anymore. Come back with me for New Year’s Eve dinner. It’s outrageous for you to make the elders wait!”

The entire building was empty. Only a few people were still at work. Couldn’t he give himself a break? Did he have to work so hard?

He didn’t feel sorry for himself, but she did.

Rong Si hadn’t expected Su Jiu to come here personally. He helplessly smiled and didn’t argue with her. Putting down his work, he let her pull him out of the building.
