”Chief Chu, I will leave the documents here first. The topmost one is more urgent.” Xiao Yun placed the stack of documents he brought in onto the office desk. The table that already had a lot of information on was instantly filled.

”Alright, take a look immediately. Is there anything else?” Seeing that the assistant did not leave after saying that, Chu Yu opened the folder and asked.

In the past, the assistant would immediately leave after sending the documents in, and would also close the door tightly to prevent others from entering, it was because they knew that Chu Yu did not like work and would be disturbed. Xiao Yun stood in his original position, hesitating, as though he had something he wanted to say.

”Chief Chu, you don't look too good these days. Are you tired from work? How about I make you some scented tea from tomorrow onwards? ” The assistant carefully looked at Chu Yu's reaction, afraid that she would be unhappy with his words.

Even though he had only spent less than a year with the Chief Chu, Xiao Yun sincerely admired this woman. No matter what problems the company encountered, they would be solved quickly, and there would be no delays at all.

Only Xiao Yun knew how hard it was for Chief Chu to take care of a child by himself. It was just that, amongst all the gossipy employees in the company, there were some who liked to discuss Chief Chu's private matters, such as not daring to return after having given birth to an illegitimate child.

So whenever he met these people gossiping about the Chief Chu, he would glare fiercely at them.

However, these few days, when she saw that Chief Chu's complexion was getting worse, and that her originally thin body was not even a little bit of skin, she could not help but start to worry, and finally mustered up her courage to say those words.

”It's fine, continue soaking in black curry. Go back to your business.” Hearing the word flowery tea, Chu Yu's heart skipped a beat. That past that he hadn't touched for a long time was yet unsealed, but she shook her head and locked it back up once more.

”Thank you for your concern.” Seeing Xiao Yun's embarrassed expression, Chu Yu added.

In just two short years, she had become the general manager of R2 company. There were people in the company who were dissatisfied with her, and there were even people who questioned her ability and aptitude. But Xiao Yun was sincere towards the people on her side, and that was enough. Chu Yu thought, at the same time, his heart felt a little more comforted.

The door to the office was closed, and everything was quiet again.

Youzi was bent over the table, concentrating on drawing. Occasionally, there would be the sound of pen scraping against paper, but she couldn't hear it clearly from several meters away.

Opening the document, he took out a pen from the pen holder. As he was used to skimming through the general content of the pen, Chu Yu suddenly looked at the five words on the paper.

The hand holding the pen started to tremble slightly, and the words China Anlan City appeared in front of his eyes just like that.

The words were so black that it shocked her to the core and so much black that she was caught unprepared. It made her panic instantly.

That place that she had deliberately avoided thinking about, that nightmarish place, where she had hidden far away, was still a place where she could not resist her fate.

This was a big customer she'd taken over last year, and she couldn't possibly break her contract. Not only would she have to pay huge amounts of money, but it would also ruin the reputation of Artoo. It was impossible for a client of this level to send a simple higher ups of the company. Since Rui Ni was busy with matters of the Fashion Week, there was no way she could escape.

She quickly signed her name as she always did, skimming through the document again before closing it. However, her heart couldn't calm down.
