I believe in you at 20
Not long after Qin Tian left, Chen Ran came in. He had been waiting not far away for Qin Tian and Su Qiao to finish their conversation, that meeting was just something he made up casually, the purpose was to give Su Qiao a chance to vent.
Su Qiao raised an eyebrow at Chen Ran, who was walking in, "Was it intentional?" To be honest, didn't Chen Ran worry that he would ruin his Du Shi enterprise? Or was he too confident to think that he couldn't lose his Du Shi? With a low smile, another answer floated into Su Qiao's mind. Chen Ran had once said that as long as he was there, it was enough, and Su Qiao thought he hadn't misremembered.
"Hey, how's it going? Enjoying the chat?" Chen Ran walked straight over to Su Qiao and sat down across from him, asking as he did so. His voice was calm and even, but a flicker of concern in his eyes betrayed that he wasn't as composed as he seemed.
Su Qiao casually picked up the documents left by Qin Tian with his hand and gestured to Chen Ran to take a look, "This is the information he left behind, take a good look."
Chen Ran pressed down Su Qiao's hand, shook his head, and smiled warmly at the corners of his mouth. "No need, I trust you, this matter will be decided by you."
Su Qiao furrowed his brow, somewhat shocked. "It's not quite right to let me decide on such a big matter, is it? I don't really understand these things." Although he had managed the Su Group before, wasn't it now in someone else's hands?
Chen Ranan comfortingly patted Su Qiao's hand, "You have to believe in yourself. If you want to take back the Su Group, you must improve your abilities. If you're never allowed to be in charge, when will you ever stand on your own?" Even if this decision was a mistake, he would find a way to earn that money back. What he needed to do now was to boost Su Qiao's confidence.
Su Qiao nodded heavily, feeling inexplicably moved in his heart. His parents had just passed away when he took over the Su family business, and no one believed in him at that time. His decisions were usually completely denied, and now this feeling of being trusted felt great. "Don't worry, I will definitely make sure you only earn and not lose!"
Su Qiao's crisp words moved Chen Ran's heart, and he knew that his Su Qiao would not be a waste of talent. As long as he worked hard to do one thing well, even the Iron Horse Ice River could not stop him. "Well, you slowly analyze these data, I'll go deal with today's piled-up work." Just thinking about the files piled up like mountains on his office desk, Chen Ran couldn't help but feel a headache, and it seemed that he would have to work overtime again today.
"Alright, remember to call me when you're thirsty. As your secretary, I still have things to do." Su Qiao smiled slightly at Chen Ran, and perhaps from the moment Chen Ran said he believed in him, he had a different feeling towards Chen Ran. He couldn't quite put his finger on what it was, but inexplicably, he felt invigorated all over.
Chen Yan stood up and walked over to sit down beside his office chair, undoing the top button of his shirt before lowering his head to start working.
Su Qiao glanced at Chen Ran with a slanted gaze, and also lowered her head to do her own thing. Suddenly, the office fell silent, and only occasionally came the rustling sound of flipping through files. The two would stop from time to time to look at each other, quiet and beautiful, making people reluctant to disturb them.
