Su Ying signed the transfer letter with a straightforward nod, showing no hesitation.
"Since you want to do it, then show me some results!" Su Ying handed over the document and squeezed his hand when no one was looking.
Fu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he felt an immense pressure. "I will work hard."
Su Ying nodded. "If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
"Okay." Fu Zheng, as usual, finished reporting his work and turned to leave.
"Why was Xiao Fu transferred to the marketing department? Did President Su get tired of him? They were fine just two days ago, this is too sudden!"
"Xiao Fu is a good young man, hardworking, smart, and good-looking... I wonder what displeased President Su!"
"Isn't transferring to the marketing department a promotion? Being an assistant has no future!"
"What's so strange about that! Given President Su's fickle nature, it's already impressive that Xiao Fu could stay by her side for two years!"
"The HR department is in trouble! Finding a new assistant won't be easy!"
"Did Xiao Fu fall out of favor?"
The company employees were in an uproar, and even the cleaning lady joined in the gossip.
To others, Su Ying and Fu Zheng had a perfectly ordinary superior-subordinate relationship. However, the cleaning auntie knew the truth—these two had been together behind the scenes for a long time!
Don't ask how she knew! Their position meant they paid attention to different things than others. The cleaning auntie could only clean the office area after other employees had left, allowing her to uncover many secrets others wouldn't know.
Once, after finishing her cleaning, the auntie saw the light still on in Su Ying's office and was about to ask if she needed her to tidy up. To her surprise, through the gap in the door, she saw the two of them kissing passionately. The intensity of their embrace gave her goosebumps.
Inside the office, the two were kissing intensely, completely unaware of anyone outside the door.
To protect her job, the cleaning auntie kept this secret.
So, while others were speculating whether Fu Zheng had been cast aside by his boss, the cleaning auntie was silently sneering in her heart. Disliked? They were clearly in love!
After Fu Zheng finished his handover, he suddenly noticed many people casting sympathetic glances his way.
Fu Zheng: ...
What was with these looks?
The marketing department manager patted his shoulder and sighed, "Don't blame President Su, she's always been a free spirit! Actually, going to the marketing department is fine. It's better than being an assistant. If you do well, you can even earn commissions..."
Fu Zheng finally understood, but he didn't offer any further explanation.
Some things were not yet ready to be revealed by Su Ying, so he could only keep it a secret for now. "Manager, please guide me through the work content first."
In reality, the company was quite small, with fewer than a hundred employees in total. Fu Zheng had been by Su Ying's side for two years, often conveying work tasks and coordinating with various departments to ensure smooth project completion.
He was not unfamiliar with the marketing department.
However, in a new department, he was still a newcomer and had to be humble.
The manager was pleased by his demeanor and gave him a tour of the department. He then assigned a subordinate named Zhao to explain the specific tasks, showing great consideration.
The employees in the studio already liked Fu Zheng, and they had always had a good relationship. Therefore, even after changing departments, Fu Zheng was still well-received and quickly integrated with everyone.
After work, the manager invited the department to dinner. Fu Zheng couldn't refuse and, after informing Su Ying, joined them.
After a few drinks, the manager couldn't help but put his arm around Fu Zheng's shoulder and ask, "Honestly, why did you suddenly come to our department? Did President Su want a new assistant again?"
"No, I requested it myself," Fu Zheng replied truthfully.
"Reason?" the manager asked again.
"I studied management and wanted to find a job that matched my field, and also help alleviate your workload." The marketing department was actually quite stressful, with only thirty percent of employees managing to stay on. Turnover was extremely high.
The marketing department was the most troublesome for HR, with constant applicants. Some would leave within a week, others would last a couple of months, but the turnover was always frequent.
The manager patted his shoulder in approval. "I'm very happy to have you here! I always knew you were cut out for sales. It was too much of a waste for you to be President Su's assistant!"
"With a capable individual like you in our department, we'll surely achieve great success and break new records."
"Come, everyone, raise your glasses and welcome Fu Zheng to our department!"
"Cheers!"
The others put down their bowls and chopsticks, raised their glasses, and responded enthusiastically.
That night, Fu Zheng shed his usual "puppy-dog" image and downed several bottles of beer with a bold demeanor, earning cheers from everyone.
When Su Ying came to pick him up, he was already half-drunk and leaning against the wall as he came out.
"President Su, what a coincidence, you're here too?" The manager, seeing the familiar figure leaning against the car, swayed forward to greet her.
The others were also tipsy and waved vaguely at Su Ying.
Su Ying looked at Fu Zheng, who was leaning against the wall and smiling foolishly at her, and couldn't help but chuckle. "Aren't you coming over here quickly!"
Everyone froze.
Who was the President Su talking to?
As they were wondering, Fu Zheng, with light, unsteady steps, walked towards her. "You came to pick me up..."
Everyone: ...
What was going on?
Didn't it feel like there was something unusual between them?
Just as the manager was about to call Fu Zheng back to clarify, he saw their formidable President Su step forward and link her arm with Fu Zheng's. "You got drunk and didn't even call me? Aren't you afraid someone would take advantage of you?"
"I'm very well-behaved, I won't have any contact with other women!" Fu Zheng raised his hands as if to swear.
Su Ying didn't believe a drunkard.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, she opened the passenger door and put him inside.
"President Su, you and Xiao Fu..." The manager's eyes widened in disbelief.
Su Ying closed the car door, turned back to look at them, and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you all, Fu Zheng is not only an employee of this company, but he is also my boyfriend!"
"From now on, please take good care of him!"
With that, she got into the car with an air of authority.
The stunned group stood there, speechless and shocked by the news.
When did Fu Zheng get so close to President Su?
Why hadn't they noticed it before?
The manager, who had just boastfully declared he would look out for Fu Zheng and help him buy a house and car next year, turned out to have the boss as his powerful backer!
It was truly a major social faux pas.
"I feel like this is so surreal! Xiao Fu is actually with President Su!"
"President Su is actually dating! Didn't she say she wouldn't consider personal matters before the age of thirty?"
"But, don't you think they look quite compatible standing together!"
"The untold story of a mature woman and a young pup, it sounds so romantic!"
