Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Good Things Belong to Everyone

She went to the HR department to collect their badges, then headed straight to the records room.

Unlike she had imagined, the records room was exceptionally clean and organized, and the office members were very welcoming.

Upon learning that they were new interns, everyone offered to guide them through the work.

It was the first time Su Qingnuan felt kindness since joining the company.

The lady who was assigned to guide them was a petite, cheerful girl who loved to laugh.

She was always jovial, exuding a very friendly vibe.

"We’re pretty laid back here. If you have any questions, just ask, don’t be shy."

Looking at the woman’s radiant smile, Su Qingnuan smiled back and said, "Thank you, sis."

"No need to be polite with me. It’s not every day we get interns assigned to the records room. We’re thrilled!"

With that, she led them toward the archives section.

"The documents here consist of recent years’ company project materials, along with some contracts. If anyone comes looking for documents, you can search for them on the computer outside. Once located, you can retrieve them based on the cabinet’s numbering system and hand them over.

The lady stopped in front of a particular shelf, her smile unwavering. "If you can’t locate something, you’ll need to check this shelf. These are the company’s earliest project files and contracts. They’re quite messy and haven’t been fully organized."

"Understood."

Their well-behaved responses made the lady very pleased. She took them on a quick orientation of the room. When they returned, Su Qingnuan noticed an ice cream cup placed on her desk.

"Don’t be shy! This is from our boss. She’s very fond of new hires!"

The boss was the lady who had been guiding them—the person in charge of the records room.

Shooting a grateful look at the lady, Su Qingnuan picked up the ice cream and began eating it slowly.

A day in the records room, though relaxed, was quite rewarding, as Manager Huang had predicted.

Stepping out of the company, Su Qingnuan took a deep breath, gazing at the pristine sky above.

"In all honesty, being in the records room sure beats cleaning floors, right?" Gu Xiaoxiao said with a faint smile.

"Definitely." Su Qingnuan nodded, smiling. "This is our only way to comfort ourselves for now."

The two exchanged smiles and dropped the topic.

At the entrance, they spotted a familiar car. Gu Xiaoxiao leaned closer and gave a mysterious smile. "Your guy sure is thoughtful—always taking care of you!"

"...Stop spouting nonsense!"

Su Qingnuan shot her a glare, waved her hand to say goodbye, and ran toward the car.

By the driver’s seat, she saw Ah Qi and smiled. "Ah Qi, you’re here early today!"

Ah Qi didn’t respond but instead glanced toward the back seat.

Startled, Su Qingnuan quickly opened the back door and saw the man sitting there silently.

"Mr. Fu..."

His cold gaze swept over her. "Get in the car."

"Alright."

Climbing in, Su Qingnuan looked out at the swiftly passing scenery. The thought that she could start reviewing documents tomorrow made her incredibly happy.

"Work going well?"

The unexpected question caught her off guard, and she turned to look at him.

Fu Yihan was still focused on the materials in his hands as though the question had been asked on a whim.

"Ah... it’s going okay," Su Qingnuan replied with a faint smile.

"Just okay?" Finally, Fu Yihan lifted his gaze and turned to look at her.

"Mm." Su Qingnuan nodded and smiled. "The mentor guiding us has been really kind."

He gave her a half-smile, half-smirk, saying nothing.

For some reason, his gaze carried a chill, and Su Qingnuan couldn’t figure out what she had done to upset him again. She dared not say more.

"If you’re saying it’s going okay, does that mean you don’t need any special support from me?"

Alarmed, Su Qingnuan quickly waved her hands. "No, no. I can manage on my own."

"Alright."

His tone turned cold again.

The car’s atmosphere seemed to freeze instantly. Su Qingnuan wondered if she’d said something wrong and didn’t understand his sudden frosty demeanor.

The rest of the drive was in silence; Fu Yihan didn’t say another word.

Occasionally, Su Qingnuan would glance at him. His sharp, chiseled profile radiated an impenetrable iciness.

Upon arriving home, Su Qingnuan tried to nudge him but was rebuffed.

Feeling baffled, she stared at Ah Qi and Fu Yihan retreating indoors, completely bewildered.

What’s his problem?

This man’s heart was harder to predict than a woman’s mood swings.

Sighing softly, Su Qingnuan followed them inside.

In the main hall, she encountered the old master, who greeted Fu Yihan with a smile. However, the latter merely glanced at him briefly without any reaction.

"Hey? What kind of attitude is that?" The old man stood up with a frown. "Who ticked you off now?"

The comment made Su Qingnuan lower her head even further.

If the old master found out she was the culprit, who knew what lecture awaited her?

Fu Yihan and Ah Qi had already stepped into the elevator, and Su Qingnuan quickly followed.

"Yuerou!" The old master called out suddenly.

Turning back, Su Qingnuan forced a wry smile. "Yes, Grandpa? What’s up?"

"Something’s up." The old man nodded solemnly. "Come here and tell me what’s going on."

"..." Sneaking a glance at Fu Yihan, Su Qingnuan whispered, "Grandpa, honestly, I’m not really sure..."

"Weren’t you with him?" the old man pressed.

"But I wasn’t... not exactly together..." Su Qingnuan mumbled softly.

"What’s with the chatter?" Fu Yihan said coldly. "I went out on my own today. Any more questions?"

Frowning at Fu Yihan’s impatient tone, the old master’s face darkened.

"Listen to your attitude! I haven’t said anything yet, and you already behave like this."

With a hint of amusement, Fu Yihan glanced at him and said, "Then how does the old master think I should behave?"

"...Polite, outstanding, and very gentle," the old man declared firmly.

Fu Yihan smirked coolly. "Then I’m afraid you’re addressing the wrong grandson."

With that, he pressed the elevator’s close button.

"Hey, hey!" The old master quickly blocked the door, exclaiming, "I haven’t finished talking to you! Why are you trying to leave?"

"If you have something to say, just say it. What is it?"

"It’s about what we discussed earlier—returning to the company. Have you thought it over?" The old man’s eyes sparkled with mischief.

Frowning, Fu Yihan replied, "Thought about what? I never said I’d return to the company. Stop overthinking it."

"What?" The old master’s eyes widened in shock. "That’s not what you said before!"

"Are you coming upstairs?" Fu Yihan asked.

The old man hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. "No."

"Then, kindly step out. I’m going up."

"..."

Under the disdainful gaze of Fu Yihan, the old master exited reluctantly, standing by the door and staring at him with grievance.

Yet, unhurriedly, Fu Yihan closed the door, completely ignoring the old man outside.

The elevator stopped, and Fu Yihan wheeled himself out.

"Su Qingnuan."

"Yes?" Su Qingnuan straightened immediately. "I’m here!"
