Aren't we friends? Why are you rushing at me?

Lin Shi waved his hand to politely decline the receptionist's inquiry, explaining that he was there to apologize to Su Ningshuang, as it was a private matter.

He carefully reviewed everything that happened yesterday and identified the areas where he went wrong:

First of all, he was a little too concerned about Su Ningshuang. Although it is normal for friends to care about each other, he was presumptuous to ask her to find a doctor when they were just ordinary friends.

This is a major taboo. He didn't understand his place, so he can't blame Su Ningshuang for being angry.

Also, Su Ningshuang sent him a message yesterday, but he was busy playing games and didn't reply in time. That's not so bad. The problem is that just as he was about to reply, his subordinate called to tell him that he had found a "miracle doctor".

He was too surprised that Ye Cheng was a girl, and then there were all sorts of other things that happened, which is why he hasn't replied to the messages Su Ningshuang sent him yet.

Anyone would be angry in this situation, so we can't blame Su Ningshuang.

Since I made a mistake, I should apologize.

Seeing this, the receptionist didn't say anything, but quietly informed Liu Ruyan's secretary.

When Brother Lin came to the company, he didn't ask her to announce his arrival and even brought gifts, so he must have wanted to give President Liu a surprise.

However, since Lin Shih-ge had not actually joined the company or made an appointment, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to allow him to go up alone.

The best ending would be to inform President Liu's secretary to bring Lin Shi up to surprise President Liu.

The receptionist was amazed by her own cleverness, feeling that the path to promotion and a raise was right before her eyes.

The crisp sound of the elevator arriving on the first floor interrupted the thoughts of the receptionist and Lin Shi.

First, Su Ningshuang and her chief secretary Li Wei stepped out of the president's private elevator in the center.

Almost simultaneously, the doors of several passenger elevators next to it opened, and a group of elites from the legal and business departments poured out, instantly filling the once quiet lobby with voices.

Lin Shi looked up and saw that Su Ning Shuang's face was as beautiful as ever, and still looked cold.

However, the chief secretary next to him looked good, with a smile in his eyes, indicating that the contract negotiations had been successful.

good chance!

Lin Shi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly walked to a position half a meter in front of Su Ningshuang, so that he would not hinder Su Ningshuang's walking but would still allow her to see him.

With a fawning expression on his face, he knew he had to be prepared to admit his mistake; he couldn't possibly act all high and mighty.

"President Su."

As she spoke, she showed the paper bag with the dessert shop's logo printed on it.

The first to react were not Su Ningshuang, nor the chief secretary, but the group of people from the legal and business departments behind her.

Upon seeing Lin Shi arrive, he immediately quickened his pace, bypassed the three people standing by the side, and left the building as quickly as possible.

When it comes to the CEO's private affairs, it's best to just observe from the sidelines. Standing by and watching might get you fired the next day for breathing as soon as you walk in.

Su Ningshuang stopped in her tracks, first looking at Lin Shi, then glancing at the dessert packaging, and finally returning to Lin Shi's ingratiating smile.

The smile was forced and deliberate, even a bit hypocritical.

If it were someone else with that smile, she would definitely call security immediately and have them dragged away.

But on Lin Shi's face, it actually looks kind of cute.

Su Ningshuang felt a little better.

Her frozen face showed no sign of melting; she simply continued to look at Lin Shi.

Lin Shi maintained what he thought was a perfect smile, leaned forward slightly, and whispered:

"President Su, I really realize I was wrong. I even bought you your favorite dessert. Could you please give me some face?"

After saying that, he secretly raised his gaze to glance at Su Ning Shuang's expression, and his heart began to pound:

Ugh, it's still as cold as ever. This is tough, really tough!

If they then add "What did I do wrong?" and make me write a several-hundred-word self-criticism, no way! This kind of thing is tolerable in the office, but in public, it's really too much to handle.

But given President Su's personality, he probably wouldn't act like that.

Looking at Lin Shi's actions, Su Ningshuang noticed a hint of unease on his face and suddenly found him somewhat endearing. Her anger from the morning subsided a little.

He spread his hands out and placed them on Lin Shi's chest, his face still cold.

"There won't be a next time. Also, I'm in very good health."

Seeing this, Lin Shi gently placed the dessert in Su Ningshuang's hand.

"I promise there won't be a next time, Mr. Su."

Su Ningshuang nodded and walked towards the door, the sound of her high heels clicking on the marble floor rhythmic and clear.

Seeing this, Li Wei quickly followed, reaching towards the desserts to help carry them.

I gave it a gentle tug, but it wouldn't budge.

I tried to pull it a little harder, but I still couldn't budge it.

Su Ningshuang glanced at Li Wei, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Li Wei didn't look at her and continued walking towards the door.

I'm not taking it anymore, I'm not helping you take it. You two are flirting, making a fool of me.

Lin Shi watched Su Ning Shuang's cold back and Li Wei's attempt to help her, only to be met with a fierce rejection in her eyes. Although he couldn't see her eyes, he had a gut feeling that they were filled with murderous intent.

Some doubts remained in my mind:

"Has she really forgiven him? She still looks very unhappy."

After thinking about it again, Su Ningshuang seemed to have always been like this, and she barely managed to comfort her own little heart.

I think everything's alright now. I still have a lot to learn! I'll also write down in my notebook that I shouldn't worry too much.

Lin Shi's phone suddenly vibrated. He picked it up and saw that it was a text message from Su Ningshuang.

Su Ningshuang yesterday: 15:18:

"I couldn't find it. Maybe we should come back first... I'm actually quite healthy."

Su Ningshuang 11:37:

"Come to my office after you start work this afternoon."

Should I go to the office again? That should be fine, but just to be safe, I shouldn't ask Ye Cheng to come along. I should go and see what her opinion is first.

Su Ningshuang sat in the van, finished sending a text message on her phone, and looked at Li Wei.

Li Wei instantly understood Su Ningshuang's meaning and returned the dessert that Su Ningshuang had temporarily placed in her hand because Su Ningshuang was about to send a message:

"Miss, it's lunchtime, please eat less."

Su Ningshuang nodded and quickly opened the package with her slender hands.

Inside were six small macarons, neatly arranged on the backing paper. They had smooth, round shells with delicate pleats around the edges, known as "skirts."

Pick it up with your right hand, support it gently with your left hand, and take a small bite.

The wonderful taste instantly brightened her eyes:

It's delicious and sweet, even sweeter than the previous ones.

I won't give Li Wei any yet. I'll give her some money later so she can buy some herself, and she can also get some for herself.

Su Ningshuang nodded to herself, confirming her statement, and then picked up another one to taste.

The perspective shifts to the meeting room:

The secretary was standing next to Liu Ruyan, reporting to Lin Shi what he was waiting for below.

She didn't believe there were any surprises in the world; a truly qualified secretary needed to report everything in advance and be well-prepared.

Liu Ruyan checked her makeup again, as it had smudged somewhat during the discussion. She used the cosmetics she carried with her to touch it up. Although her appearance was exceptionally beautiful even without any makeup, she still looked stunning.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, and he even hummed a lighthearted tune.

Su Ningshuang, Su Ningshuang, if you don't cherish it, don't blame me!

It's okay. Just kneel down and beg me later, and I might let you have a sip of soup.

Liu Ruyan's excitement grew as she thought about it:

"Xiao Yu, go and bring him up here."

Secretary Yu nodded and walked out of the room. Before she even pressed the elevator button, she suddenly turned back.

Looking at her secretary who had returned, Liu Ruyan had a bad feeling.

Secretary Yu lowered her head and said somewhat nervously:

"President Liu, Lin Shi and Su Ningshuang ran into each other. We don't know what they talked about, but they've already parted ways."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan immediately stood up and demanded that her secretary repeat it:

"President Liu, Lin Shi and Su Ningshuang were talking about something downstairs. They've already left separately."

Liu Ruyan jogged to the huge floor-to-ceiling window and looked down.

The height of dozens of floors made everything on the ground shrink into blurry blocks of color, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Su Ningshuang, you ice queen, ahhhhhh!

He gritted his teeth and looked at Secretary Yu:

"Has Fang Hao arrived in Thailand yet?"

"At the latest tonight, we'll give him something special!"
