Let's Squander A Billion First!

“Prepare the documents. I’ll go over in a while.” Chuzheng walked out of the lift and was blocked by someone. She walked to the side while that person shifted to the side as well.

Chuzheng raised her eyes.

“President Gu.” Su Jiu softly called.

Chuzheng looked behind him. He was alone.

“What are you doing here?”

Su Jiu placed his hands behind him and leaned his body over to Chuzheng’s sides as he smirked. “Waiting for President Gu.”

Chuzheng had a cold look. “Why are you waiting for me?”

Su Jiu tilted his head and his soft hair swayed to the side. “President Gu saved me in the past, so, can I treat you to a meal as a gesture of my gratitude?”

“I’m not free.” Chuzheng swiftly rejected.

“But doesn’t President Gu want me to think that you’re my friend? If you don’t even eat a meal with me, how would I think that President Gu is my friend?”

Chuzheng met Su Jiu’s gaze and Su Jiu gave a brighter smile. His eyes were clear and looked harmless.

‘This weakling… seems a bit different. Was he being bipolar again?’

[Little miss, you can’t let go of such a great opportunity! The ‘Friendzone card’ is waving at you!]King immediately encouraged her.

“President Gu, so do you agree?” Su Jiu asked again.

Chuzheng nodded her head. “I have something on now.”

“I’m free for today. If it doesn’t bother you, I can go with President Gu.” Su Jiu immediately continued. “I can wait for you to be done with your work.”

Chuzheng thought for a while and agreed to his suggestion.

After they got in the car, Su Jiu sneaked in a few glances at Chuzheng. It looked like she did not seem to mind the incident that happened that day.

It was as though she did not care about what happened to her surroundings…

When Chuzheng went to settle her matters, Su Jiu waited in the car. Chuzheng had not come back for quite some time and Su Jiu wanted to get out of the car, but the car was locked.

Su Jiu: “…”

Su Jiu waited for a while more before taking out his phone to message Chuzheng.

[Su Jiu: When are you coming back?]

[Chuzheng: ?]

[Su Jiu: You locked the car door and I… want to visit the washroom.]

Su Jiu bit down on his lips and his cheeks were flushed.

Su Jiu stared at his cell phone, but Chuzheng had not replied to him. Just when he thought he could not hold it in any longer, the car door unlocked.

Chuzheng pulled the car door open and stared at him from outside the car.

“President Gu, I almost couldn’t hold it in.” Su Jiu’s face was red and looked especially innocent.

‘He’s such a handful.’

‘I want to get rid of him.’

Chuzheng took a deep breath and stepped aside. Su Jiu put on his mask and got out of the car before walking towards the public toilet. When he came back, he saw Chuzheng leaning against the car as she stood at the same place.

Quite some people crowded around her and they seemed to have recognized her as there were faint shouts of excitement.

But no one dared to step forward as though they were scared of her strong presence.

When Su Jiu came back, he was immediately recognized.

“Is that Su Jiu?”

“He should be… The body shape and hair are the same.”

“So they really are dating?”

Su Jiu jogged to Chuzheng’s front and Chuzheng opened the car door. He immediately got in and Chuzheng parked the car at another place.

Chuzheng was prepared to leave when Su Jiu pulled her back. “Can you not lock the car door?”

“Hmm.”

Chuzheng got out of the car and Su Jiu heard the sound of the car door locking. The corner of his mouth twitched as he watched Chuzheng’s departing back through the car window.

–

Chuzheng came back quickly this time and Su Jiu passed his cell phone to her. “President Gu, we have hit the headlines again.”

They were captured just now and in just a while, they hit the headlines.

Chuzheng took a cold glance at it before starting the car engine without saying a word.

Su Jiu cautiously observed her for a while before saying, “President Gu, if you don’t want them to spout nonsense, we can clear things up.”

“You’re very noisy.”

“…”

Su Jiu bit his lips. ‘So she did not plan to clear things up?’

“Where are we going to eat?” Chuzheng asked Su Jiu only after the car was driven for quite a distance.

Su Jiu told her an address.

It was a restaurant with high privacy. Su Jiu had already reserved their seats so they could go straight to the reserved floor from the carpark.

After Su Jiu entered the private room, he took off his mask and wanted to pull the chair for Chuzheng, but Chuzheng was a step faster as she pulled the chair herself and sat on it.

Su Jiu retracted his hand and sat beside her. He even pushed the chair closer to her. “President Gu, are you always like this?”

“What do you mean?”

“…” ‘So unromantic.’ Su Jiu did not dare to say it out so instead, he smiled and shook his head. “It’s nothing. It’s good that President Gu stays like this.”

If she was the same as those people outside…

Su Jiu thought that he would not be eating a meal with her now.

When Su Jiu was ordering the dishes, the waiter beside him kept glancing at Chuzheng and her eyes shone as bright as the sun.

Su Jiu’s smile disappeared as he leaned closer to Chuzheng in front of the waiter. “What do you want to eat?”

“Anything is fine.”

“Order a dish.” Su Jiu pushed the food menu towards her and looked at her expectantly.

Chuzheng casually ordered a dish and Su Jiu seemed to be elated as he passed the food menu back to the waiter. The waiter unwillingly left the room.

After she left the room, the waiter hugged the food menu and started to jump around.

She actually saw her goddess! I’m so excited!

“Do you know who I saw just now?” The waiter rushed back and pulled her colleague to share the news.

That colleague was very calm. “Which celebrity is it?”

Because of their high privacy and quality dishes, many celebrities, officials and wealthy people came here so it was not strange to see any of them.

“It’s goddess Chuzheng!”

“Who?” The colleague was in disbelief.

“Goddess Chuzheng! I’m so happy!”

“Is she alone?”

“No…” The waiter shook her head. “She was together with Su Jiu. Su Jiu was so cute! They are really dating!”

“How do you know that?”

“I witnessed it.” ‘It was such a lovely scene, they must be dating!’

–

After the dishes were served, Su Jiu opened a bottle of red wine and poured some for Chuzheng. “President Gu, let me propose a toast to you for saving me previously.”

Chuzheng had a serious look. “You’re welcome.”

“…” Su Jiu opened his lips slightly and as he saw Chuzheng finishing the wine in her glass, he smiled and raised his head to finish his glass of wine.

He continued to pour more wine. “This toast is to thank President Gu for taking care of me.”

“Hmm.”

Su Jiu gave three toasts of wine yet Chuzheng kept a straight face as though she was drinking water. Su Jiu had mixed feelings as he silently put down the wine glass.

He bit on the chopsticks and stared at Chuzheng as she ate her food.

“Can you be full by looking at me?”

Su Jiu replied in a lovely voice. “President Gu is appetizing.”

Chuzheng glanced to the side. What was this weakling trying to do? Could it be he wanted to make a move on her?

Although he was obedient and lovely earlier, he was very cautious inside yet today, he was different.

Chuzheng asked, “What are you trying to do?”

Su Jiu tilted his head and his voice was clear. “President Gu, I only want to thank you and not do anything else.”

Chuzheng’s gaze fell on his hair and she opened her mouth. “You better be.”

Su Jiu asked, “What did President Gu think I was trying to do?”

Chuzheng replied. “I hadn’t thought of anything.” ‘Even if I thought of it, will I tell you, weakling?’

Su Jiu: “…”

Su Jiu finally understood that not only is conversing with her difficult, but it was very difficult to trick her as well.
