Names mentioned in this chapter :
-?? (sù ruì) – Su Rui, our female protagonist
-??? (gù yù chéng)- Gu Yu Cheng, the male lead
-??(gù d?ng)- Chairman Gu
-??(Liú líng)- Liu Ling, Su Rui’s university roommate

“With relevance to the portion of market value, what other documents does the company have from the past two years?” Glancing at several documents Wang Zhou found before, Gu Yu Cheng frowned slightly, looked up at Wang Zhou and enquired.
“Uh, Chairman, the relevant documents of the year before the previous year and last year are here. However, the rest of the documents cannot be disclosed. Even if there are any that can be disclosed, there’s only this year’s documents.” Wang Zhou explained as he stood next to him.
At the moment, he felt bleak.
Initially, he thought that he could happily leave for work once after today’s reception. He had even made an appointment in the evening in advance.
Who would have thought that in the end he would be pulled by their chairman to be a coolie?
There are so many businesses in the Gu Group. Just the archive files of one department have to be calculated based on the number of boxes. Alternatively, if they are uploaded in the cloud or host is calculated based on the MB or GB ah.
The chairman actually asked him to retrieve the documents related to the market value amongst all of the documents of the past two years!
It’s killing him.
If it is work-related, then it’s fine.
The Chairman is clearly engaging in his own “private matters”. Is this fine?
He found out that it was not that the chairman did not put in so much effort with that girl, but rather it was because he hasn’t found the right directions for his efforts yet!
Wang Zhou silently complained about it.
As expected, he saw Gu Yu Cheng nodding his head, and calmly said the next sentence,”find out.”
After a pause, Gu Yu Cheng added, “That is of representative value.”
“Yes…” he wants to get off work!
……
On the other side, after chatting with Gu Yu Cheng, Su Rui thought about it and didn’t scroll through the gossip. She went online to search for ‘love strategy’.
How to get along in the early stage of dating?
How to be a qualified girlfriend?
……
Not to mention, the Internet has so much information related to this question.
“Firstly, you have to give your boyfriend enough face[1]?”
Erm, Gu Yu Cheng doesn’t seem to need other people to give him a face, and he would be the person with the most face, right?
This is rejected.
“Secondly, don’t be too pretentious and dramatic?”
She doesn’t seem to be a pretentious person.
This is rejected as well.
“Thirdly, don’t be too clingy? Give your boyfriend enough space? Don’t disturb your boyfriend?…..”
What is the degree of being clingy?
Besides, what do you mean not to disturb your boyfriend?
Su Rui had always felt that love needs to be managed. Even if there were beautiful words like ‘love at first sight’, they have a shelf life.
If this was true as this article says, don’t bother each other unless you need something. Are you sure that this relationship can proceed smoothly to marriage, instead of another direction: close friends of the same sex[2]?
This article seems like it was written by a big man who didn’t consider getting married and was going to hug his doll and live a solitary life or a straight steel woman[3] who hasn’t dated anyone, right?
Su Rui grumbled about this so-called strategy.
After that, Su Rui flipped through a few articles that had about the same content.
If it’s not poisonous chicken soup[4] then it would be selling masks and lipstick at the end of the article.
She felt bored scrolling through them and fell asleep just like that. The effect of reading these was better than the Five-three book[5] in high school.
The next morning, Su Rui was surprised when she saw the unkempt Liu Ling.
“What did you do yesterday?”
“Don’t talk about it. I was scrolling through the gossip all night.” Liu Ling spoke as she sleepily yawned.
“That so and so and that other so and so on that matter?” Su Rui raised her eyebrows and probed. She scrolled through that news yesterday but wasn’t not proven at all?
“To scroll through the entire night, aren’t you exaggerating a little.” Su Rui leisurely looked at Liu Ling and said.
“After I finished scrolling through the main article, I went to scroll through the comments section. I have also gone to browse through those few people’s Weibo. There were some inklings in them.”
“And you don’t find that tiring,” Su Rui looked at Liu Ling speechlessly. “I didn’t know that you were also a member of the anti-fan or waterborne troops[6].”
As an excellent melon eater, Su Rui has always only eaten melons and had never commented or shared.
Don’t feel that the internet’s firewall is so secure or even if the rain becomes heavy; one more drop doesn’t matter[7].
“Then you don’t understand.”
“Don’t you know about mass psychology?” Liu Ling frowned and continued, “It isn’t that I am not satisfied with my life, once I know that someone’s life is doing worse than mine, I feel satisfied.”
“Then, my life is too boring. I’ll be peaceful when I see the cost of their ‘spectacular’ life.”
“What’s more, my comments are generally objective and do not contain any name-calling.”
“Hehe.” Su Rui couldn’t help chuckling twice when she heard Liu Ling’s theory.
Well, it seems to be true.
As she spoke, Liu Ling gazed at Su Rui.
“Don’t worry. Don’t worry. I will maintain my virtues if I happen to eat melon relating to Miss Su’s rich and powerful families’ grievances.” Liu Ling had an expression which stated #See, I have my principles, as she looked at Su Rui and expressed.
Su Rui: Heh heh.
[1] ??(miàn zi)- Face. It would refer to dignity as well. An example of giving your boyfriend enough face would be something like not embarrassing your boyfriend in public or not to disagree with him in front of his friends that cause embarrassment to him.
[2] ??(j?y?u)- an internet slang which means very close same-sex friend/gay partner.
[3] ????(g?ngti? zhí n?)- Straight steel woman. An internet slang which means a straightforward, independent and mature straight woman.
[4] ???(dúj?t?ng) – Poisonous chicken soup. It means that the article is disguised as a ‘????(x?nlíng j?t?ng)- chicken soup for the soul’ (a comforting and motivational article where the article is in an optimistic approach) but in fact the article contains a lot of fake marketing/s or a scam seeking personal information. It is a profit-motivated article.
[5] ??(w? s?n)- Five-three. The full name of this book is called ‘5???3???’ (‘5 years of college/university entrance exam( and 3 years of mock exam papers’). The book mainly summarises the content of the university entrance examinations and the mock examination papers, analyse these questions, and predict the questions that may come out for the university entrance examinations.
[6] ??(shu?j?n)- Waterborne troop. An internet slang that refers to the rumoured people hired by PR firms for online marketing purposes. They would post online to either support a brand or sabotage the brand’s competition.
[7] I’m not very sure but I felt that it meant that even if the firewall of your internet is good or that if many people have commented/scolded that particular person, don’t expect that it won’t be leaked.
