The girl quickly ran over and snatched the coffee from Su Ruobai's hand. "Thank you, thank you so much. I didn't originally intend for you to help me get it. Ah! What I mean is, I wanted to get it myself... Anyway, thank you..."
Her particularly flustered appearance made Su Ruobai feel a hint of amusement.
"It's not a big deal, I just brought it up on my way." After saying that, Su Ruobai nodded at her and walked past her to the office.
A barely audible sigh came from behind him and reached his ears.
Su Ruobai knocked on the door of the chief's office without changing her expression.
"Minister Liu, here is your delivery."
"Um, just put it on the table," Liu Xianteng replied without looking up.
Su Ruobai placed the box on the edge of the table and glanced hesitantly at Liu Xianteng, as if wanting to say something but hesitating.
Seeing Minister Chen engrossed in his work and completely ignoring himself, Su Ruobai suppressed the doubts in his heart, turned around, helped close the door, and walked out.
Returning to his own work station, he clearly felt that the number of gazes directed at him had significantly decreased, and there were also fewer murmurs and whispers.
After just a morning of observation, Su Ruobai could be certain that the person in the office knew him.
It's not about knowing him as a person, but knowing the name 'Su Ruobai'.
His observations may not be so meticulous, but the trepidation that others feel when facing him cannot be ignored.
Isn't it only natural for interns to help with fetching things? They did indeed ask him for help, but their tone and attitude were very cautious, afraid of displeasing him.
They seemed to have a planned way of interacting with me, wanting to appear completely normal. However, some small details still gave them away.
Su Ruobai couldn't figure it out, and there was no way for him to figure it out either.
Safely and steadily, Su Ruobai spent the day, but before getting off work, Minister Suo called her to his office.
"You did well today. Keep up the good work," Liu Xianteng said, with his usual lazy and relaxed demeanor. The sparse stubble on his face made him appear especially weary.
Su Ruobai did not show a happy expression, but calmly nodded her head.
Liu Xianteng's half-opened eyes looked at him, staring for a long time before suddenly letting out a soft laugh.
"After work, you can just leave directly," Liu Xianteng casually waved his hand.
Being an intern and not having to stay here to clean is truly a great blessing.
Su Ruobai lowered his eyes and responded faintly before turning around and leaving.
The workday was over, and Su Ruobai packed up his things, walking slowly at the back of the crowd. His mind was in a mess, always feeling that something was not right, but he didn't know where to start investigating. This feeling was the same as the one before he was kidnapped last time.
Walking out of the gate of Wanrong Building, Su Ruobai saw someone he never dreamed of running into here.
The tall and slender man stood straight in front of the car, and when he saw him coming out, he wore a signature smile.
"I'll come pick you up and take you home," Wen Wannian's gentle voice sounded as enticing as ever.
Su Ruobai's heart sank, but she remained composed as she walked over. A small curve formed at the corner of her mouth as she said, "How did you know I work here?"
"When I returned home at noon today, I noticed the receipt for the taxi you hailed," Wen Wan, a gentleman in his later years, opened the passenger side door for him. "Congratulations, this job seems promising."
Su Ruobai sat inside, fastened her seatbelt, and remained silent.
Wen Wannian, sitting in the driver's seat, fixed his gaze on his face, paused for a moment, and started the car.
