Mr. Su's Love Investigation Report
Chapter 55 New Task

Chapter 55: Chapter 55 New Task

"Bang, bang, bang!" The urgent knocking shattered the night’s silence.

Half past midnight.

He closed his eyes, feeling a bit weary.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The knocking continued, growing more insistent.

He finally sat up and opened the door in the darkness. Outside stood Su Rongxing, who had just returned from outside. Her hands were behind her back, a faint scent of alcohol lingered, and under the dim orange hallway light, her eye shadow glistened.

Su Rongxing puffed out her cheeks, looking at him with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

All his emotions were suppressed the moment the door opened. He turned on the light and smiled amicably and gently, "I’m sorry I didn’t have time to have dinner with you today."

"Hmph!" Su Rongxing’s lips pouted even higher.

"Don’t be mad. I’ll buy a gift to make it up to you." His smile was perfectly measured.

"Do I look like someone who lacks money to buy things?"

"Then tell me. Whatever you want."

Su Rongxing thought for a moment, "Then stay with me all day tomorrow! You’re not allowed to go anywhere!"

"Sure." His smile remained, warm like the light.

"That’s more like it!" Su Rongxing finally brightened up. She brought her hands out from behind her back, revealing an exquisite gift box, "This is for you! You didn’t keep me company, so I went shopping with my brother this afternoon! I didn’t even buy my brother a gift, just you. See how nice I am to you!"

He still smiled, "Thank you."

"Alright! I won’t bother your sleep anymore! I’m going to get my beauty sleep too! Heading out looking great tomorrow!" Su Rongxing took a few steps, turned back, and saw he was still standing there with the door open. Her heart was pleased, she blinked, "Good night, Su Ronggui!"

"Good night." He stood in the light, like a still painting.

Early in the morning, Chen Qi summoned Tu Hengsha and assigned her a new task: to collaborate with Hao Ren on an interview with entrepreneur Su Zhen.

"Because this interview will be made into a video for new media release, write an application to get a camera. Meet with Hao Ren first!" Chen Qi said.

"Okay, Director Chen!" Tu Hengsha glanced towards Hao Ren’s seat and saw him wink.

As a media person, she had heard a bit about Su Zhen.

Su Zhen, a renowned private entrepreneur and philanthropist in the city, was known in the industry for solid business practices and sincere charity efforts. Notably, the library and new laboratory at the school her mom worked at were both donated by Su Zhen.

She returned to her seat, searching while whispering, "Are you ready?"

Hao Ren gave a mysterious smile.

"Why smile?" she asked, puzzled.

"Don’t you know?" Hao Ren’s eyes inadvertently flicked to a certain direction.

"What?" Following his gaze, isn’t that direction Su Ronggui’s?

"Ahem!" Hao Ren coughed softly, "Looks like you really don’t know."

"Tell me! What’s the big secret?"

Hao Ren then lowered his voice, "Su Zhen is Su Ronggui’s father!"

"Ah?" She was usually quite perceptive; both Su Zhen and Su Ronggui had the surname Su, so theoretically she should have made the connection. But she just couldn’t associate the two of them together. With such a notable father, why would he come to the newspaper as a writer?

She thought for a moment; Su Ronggui initially had the surname Xu and later changed it to Su. Although she didn’t know what happened during that time, as Su Zhen’s stepson, his position in the family was rather awkward. So, it made sense that Su Ronggui would come out to find a job himself (she instantly imagined a ten-thousand-word tragic stepson story). But Su Rongxing? What’s she doing here? She seemed like the pampered little Princess at home, yet she came to the newspaper to endure hardship? Of course, she didn’t look down on her own job; it just seemed a bit illogical.
