“Su Rui.”

“Hm?”

“Are you done with all your make-up exams?” After dinner and while Gu Yu Cheng was sending Su Rui back to the dormitory building, Gu Yu Cheng stood in front of Su Rui and asked.

“Almost. Two more exams this week and it’s over.’ Su Rui thought and responded.

On this point, University B is still very humane.

Although transferring majors requires you to make up for the foundation courses credits, as long as she can pass the exam, then this credit was also attained.

For the foundation courses she had enrolled in previously, although their scores were mostly low, at least she passed all of them.

There are still two courses that must be made up for, and there are not many class hours. As for the examination, she has to wait until the end of this semester. For the time being, Su Rui doesn’t need to think about it.

Gu Yu Cheng nodded his head when he heard what Su Rui had said.

“Then, have you considered the matter of independent study?” Gu Yu Cheng asked.

Third-year’s independent study has been the tradition of University B of economics and management major. What’s more, Gu Yu Cheng also graduated from University B before, so it was normal to know about this.

Nevertheless, after hearing Gu Yu Cheng’s question, Su Rui’s eyebrows rose slightly.

Why does it feel like everyone is very concerned about her internship?

Father Su and Ms Li Na asked this before, and even Liu Ling had asked this question this morning.

At this moment, Gu Yu Cheng also thought of this question.

“Not yet.” Su Rui said, looking up at Gu Yu Cheng and said, “I’d like to hear your advice.”

Su Rui said that of course, it wasn’t just for the so-called “giving her boyfriend, face”.

After being reminded by Gu Yu Cheng just now, Su Rui remembered the suggestion that Ms Li Na said before.

At this moment, Su Rui wanted to hear Gu Yu Cheng’s opinions and analysis.

Hearing Su Rui’s words, Gu Yu Cheng was in a good mood immediately.

“My advice?” Gu Yu Cheng smiled.

“Then,” After a pause, Gu Yu Cheng asked, “Do you want to know my professional or personal advice?”

Initially, Su Rui thought that regarding this kind of question, Gu Yu Cheng would give her a serious answer. However, she didn’t expect that he would differentiate in this type of matter. Su Rui secretly laughed to herself.

“Personal?”

Even though Su Rui had roughly guessed the answer in her heart, she wanted to hear what Gu Yu Cheng would say.

“Go to Gu Company.”

“Pft——” At last, Su Rui couldn’t control her laughter and burst out.

“What about professionally?” Su Rui fluttered her eyelashes and asked again.

“Gu Company.”

“Pft haha, is there any difference?”

“There’s no difference.” The corner of his lips quirked up and said it as a matter of fact.

“Personally, I wish you would come to Gu Company. As for professionally,” after a pause, Gu Yu Cheng continued, “Gu Company is more suitable for you as a place to practice and learn.”

When saying this, Gu Yu Cheng’s face became serious.

“Firstly, Gu Company is an integrated enterprise and its business projects are more in line with the development trend of the modern economy. Most of the business research done by your school is also centered around Gu Company’s project. This should be better for the completion of your examinable courses.”

“Secondly, Gu Company’s management model is worth learning from.”

“Thirdly,…”

These suggestions listed by Gu Yu Cheng were more comprehensive and specific than the advice given by Li Na before.

Before hearing Li Na’s suggestion, Su Rui was already somewhat tempted. Now, after listening to Gu Yu Cheng’s advice, Su Rui couldn’t help thinking that she would obviously take her resume and apply to Gu Company.

Sure enough, those who can become the benchmark in the business world are not only powerful in the economy but also first-rate in the strength of their “mouth escape technique^[1]”.

Looking at Gu Yu Cheng, Su Rui made these small complaints in her heart.

“Then…” With a slight pause in her gaze, Su Rui thought about it and asked, “What do you think is the main disadvantage of Su Hua compared to Gu Company?”

This question was not only aimed for this university’s independent study.

This was a rare opportunity, and Su Rui is eager to take this opportunity to hear how a boss analyses their company.

“Frankly speaking, there are no advantages and disadvantages per se in terms of the management and operation of a company, and the main projects determine the business model.”

“Su Hua, itself, is a real estate company, so there’s nothing wrong with following the current traditionalist business model. Moreover, judging from the few projects that Su Hua Group has signed recently, if I’m not mistaken, Chairman Su’s plan for the coming period of time should be the integration of management and pre and post stages, right?”

Su Rui’s eyes lit up.

As expected, a boss^[2] is always a boss!

Father Su’s plans for his owner company would not have been able to see so much if it hadn’t been for the time when Comrade Lao Su explained to her mother last time!

Actually, even if Gu Yu Cheng didn’t see Su Rui’s shocked expression, he was also very certain that his judgement would not be wrong.

However, looking at Su Rui’s eyes unconsciously showing a trace of admiration, Gu Yu Cheng can’t help but curved into a self-satisfied smile.

“There’s nothing wrong with Chairman Su’s decision.”

Chairman Su’s actions are a steady move. Moreover, he did it for Su Rui to be more relaxed in the future.

With this point, Gu Yu Cheng agreed.

“But,” Gu Yu Cheng said and continued, “If you hope that Su Hua group can have better development in the future, I suggest that you can develop to new industrialisation and increase diversified profit projects on the basis of the existing economic model.”

“With this point,” With a smile and slightly passionate gaze towards Su Rui, Gu Yu Cheng said, “Su Hua can consider cooperating with Gu Company in the future.”

Have to say, Gu Yu Cheng’s proposal is extremely good!

#Why didn’t I think of this?! , #A boss is still a boss!, #I have to record this down in my small notebook quickly!…

This was basically what Su Rui had in her head when she heard Gu Yu Cheng’s advice.

Just that…

To cooperate with Gu Company?

Knitting her eyebrows, Su Rui looked at Gu Yu Cheng and said slowly, “Su Hua and Gu Company collaborate? Aren’t you scared that other people will think too much about it?”

Su Rui’s words weren’t false.

There are also different circles among enterprises, and each circle has its own set of cooperation network.

Su Hua and Gu company belonged to different circles.

Although there is no cooperation or competition between the Gu and Su family, it does not mean that there is no competition between the two circles.

For example, the Chen family, who cooperated with Su Hua previously, is definitely a competitor with Gu Company in many fields.

If Su Hua and Gu Company were to cooperate in the future, it would undoubtedly affect the relations with Chen Company in the future.

This impact is not limited to the Chen family.

Also, it’s not only Su Hua, but Gu Company would also be the same applying this theory.

On this matter, her parents are really considering their daughter’s happiness. Otherwise, if there is any consideration of marriage of convenience, the Su family will never let her daughter go on a blind date with the Gu family.

Hearing this, Gu Yu Cheng chuckled softly.

“Regardless of what reason or whether there is a collaboration, when we get married in the future, they will think more into it.”

Su Rui: !

Although she knew that Gu Yu Cheng was describing the facts, Su Rui’s attention was unconsciously caught by the “marriage” said by him.

Men may say that ‘I like you, I love you and treat you well all my life.’ but they seldom say the word ‘marriage’.

Especially for someone like Gu Yu Cheng, who usually wouldn’t give that so-called promises easily.

The only explanation is: This person is serious.

But, Su Rui was a little surprised that Gu Yu Cheng considered this so early.

Although Su Rui originally had the attitude of marriage when getting along with Gu Yu Cheng, at present, the two people got along, and she had not considered this step.

But it’s also good.

With sparkling eyes towards Gu Yu Cheng, Su Rui smiled from ear to ear.

As Gu Yu Cheng looked at the girl’s smiling face in front of him, his eyes flickered with astonishment.

“What do you want to say?” Looking at Su Rui’s shocked expression as she looked at him, Gu Yu Cheng asked, and his tone was filled with a trace of rare tenderness.

“Nothing.” Su Rui said with a smile and added, “I think what Chairman Gu said was true.”

The things said by Gu Yu Cheng were indeed true.

No matter what reason they got married, in the eyes of others, they would think of the factors of marriage.

With this thought, there was no need to worry about anything.

Gu Yu Cheng smiled as well.

“As for cooperation, you can consider but you don’t have to worry or be troubled by it.”

After a pause, Gu Yu Cheng said again, “There’s a long way to go.”

“Alright.”

“So…” Looking at Gu Yu Cheng, Su Rui’s tone rose slightly and said, “Is it time for Chairman Gu to go back now?”

Gu Yu Cheng was stunned, and he suddenly remembered that it was late.

“Head inside.” Gu Yu Cheng said,

“En, go back and rest earlier.”

“Su Rui.”

“Hm?”

“Do you have lessons tomorrow?”

“I have two lessons tomorrow.” Su Rui answered and blinked her eyes towards Gu Yu Cheng and said, “Aren’t you busy with the company’s matter?”

“After signing today’s contract, I’m not too busy this week.” After a pause, Gu Yu Cheng added, “I may need to go to City S for a business trip for a few days next week.”

Su Rui nodded her head.

“So you will come to find me tomorrow morning?”

“Ok, let me know when you have finished class.”

“En.”

“Then… see you tomorrow?”

Gu Yu Cheng smiled.

“Go in.”

Alright, she will really head inside.

If she doesn’t go inside, Su Rui feels that she and Gu Yu Cheng will be stared out of a hole by the auntie who is about to lock the door.

“Oh yes,” After taking two steps, Su Rui said the last sentence, “Yu Cheng, thank you for the painting you have given.”

……

When Su Rui returned to the dormitory, she was interrogated by Liu Ling.

“Tsk tsk tsk. I thought you wouldn’t come back today because you are so romantic and happy today.”

“No way.” Su Rui refuted subconsciously.

She and Gu Yu Cheng’s dating is very proper, ok?

“What’s more,” Su Rui’s tone changed, raised her eyebrows and looked at Liu Ling and said, “With such a lovely roommate, how can I let you stay alone in an empty room?”

“Tsk, so mushy. You’d better tell it to your boyfriend, he would definitely love to hear.” Liu Ling rolled her eyes and said.

Say it to Gu Yu Cheng?

Su Rui: Ha ha.

“What are you looking at? There’s a test tomorrow?” seeing that Liu Ling had a serious expression, she didn’t know what she was looking at on the computer, Su Rui instinctively asked.

“There’s no test. I’m looking at the forum. Didn’t Sheng Ding Group release news about what kind of integrated experience centre it wants to build…”

Liu Ling talked about the popular topic on the forum with Su Rui. After talking about it, she naturally mentioned Gu Company and Gu Yu Cheng.

With this matter, Gu Yu Cheng told Su Rui a little at the dinner.

After hearing Liu Ling’s “explanation”, Su Rui wasn’t surprised.

But, when it comes to Gu Yu Cheng, Su Rui thought of another problem.

Gu Yu Cheng’s birthday is 17 September. She happened to glance at it when she was reading Gu Yu Cheng’s online search result.

Isn’t it the 17th this weekend?
