A list of the top ten main characters: Ye Wenjie from the Three-Body Problem at the beginning.

After saying that, Su Mu left without looking back. Ai Xue'er shouted loudly, but Su Mu still ignored her. Ai Xue'er was speechless.

Unexpectedly, Su Mu was so unyielding. Ai Xue'er shook her head and lay down on the bed. The next morning, Ai Xue'er was radiant. She went to her workstation and, sure enough, saw Su Mu on the first floor.

Ai Xueer coughed twice, then stepped forward and looked at Su Mu.

"Su Mu, thank you for taking care of me last night. I feel much better."

After saying that, Su Mu left, and the others laughed knowingly.

"Su Mu, what exactly happened? What happened between you two last night?"

"Yes, yes, why did Ashleigh come all the way here to thank you? It's unbelievable. He used to be such a serious person. It seems like he's fallen in love these past few days. I could tell something was off. What's the relationship between you two?"

Su Mu was very impatient. He waved his hand and looked at them, saying...

"You two continue with your work and don't gossip about these things. Besides, we're completely innocent and have no relationship whatsoever."

But even after hearing Su Mu's explanation, these people were still unconvinced. They shook their heads and looked at Su Mu.

"Su Mu, stop pretending. How could that be? Something must have happened between you two. Are you secretly dating? You'd better tell us quickly! There are quite a few people in our company who have their eyes on Ai Xue'er's beauty."

Su Mu was both amused and exasperated. He quickly shook his head. Meanwhile, Ai Xue'er was planning her confession. Ai Xue'er took a deep breath, looked at the note in her hand, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

She wrote "I like you" in big letters on the note. Ai Xue'er smiled contentedly and slowly closed her eyes. In a moment, she would hand the note to Su Mu.

Ai Xue'er was overjoyed. Just then, the president knocked on Ai Xue'er's door. She frowned and looked at Ai Xue'er, saying...

"Daughter, what are you doing?"

When Ai Xueer saw her father arrive, her eyes lit up, and she quickly went up to him and said to the president.

"Father, you've finally arrived. I want to confess my feelings to Su Mu."

Chapter 254 This Kindness

After speaking, Ai Xueer raised her head and carefully observed the president's expression. The president frowned and looked at Ai Xueer.

"Aisher, are you telling the truth? Do you really like that boy?"

Ai Xue'er nodded quickly, looking at the president with great anticipation.

"Of course, I really like him, and if all goes well, I'd like to marry him."

After speaking, Ai Xue'er lowered her head shyly. Hearing Ai Xue'er's words, the president chuckled and nodded. She looked at Ai Xue'er and said...

"Alright then, in that case, I'll promote that kid too."

Su Mu performed very well, and the president had long intended to help him. So, the president called Su Mu to his office, looked at him, and said with a serious expression.

"Su Mu, I'm considering promoting you. What kind of position would you like?"

Su Mu was taken aback; he hadn't expected the CEO to be considering such a thing. Su Mu scratched his head and looked at the CEO.

"President, why did you promote me out of the blue?"

Su Mu found it strange. He hadn't done much, and he had only just become the team leader. Promoting him in just two or three days would surely make some people jealous.

Su Mu's eyes darted around, he waved his hand, and looked at the president.

"President, there's no need to promote me."

The president was a little surprised. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Su Mu.

"Why? Don't you like a better job?"

Su Mu shook his head, his expression very serious. He told the president that he had only been in office for a few days, and if he were to be promoted rashly, it would definitely cause gossip.

Moreover, rumors about him and Ai Xueer have been circulating these days, and many people suspect that he has climbed up the social ladder by marrying Ai Xueer.

Su Mu wanted to work with his own strength. He looked at the president and said with a serious expression.

"President, thank you for your kindness, but I hope you can give me this opportunity to gain more experience. If I want a promotion, I will naturally come to you."

After speaking, Su Mu left directly. The CEO adjusted his glasses, surprised that Su Mu still had a temper. The CEO nodded with satisfaction.

As expected, Su Mu did not disappoint him. The president told Ai Xue'er the news, and Ai Xue'er liked Su Mu even more. She never expected Su Mu to be so upright and incorruptible. Ai Xue'er smiled with satisfaction.

She walked over and hugged the president's arm.

"Father, I told you, Su Mu is not that kind of person. Don't worry, my judgment is never wrong."

After speaking, Ai Xue'er patted her chest. Hearing Ai Xue'er's words, the president chuckled. She nodded, and the two of them talked for a while. The president was very satisfied with Su Mu.

But he still felt a little strange, and he looked at Ashleigh and said.

The president couldn't help but worry. Ai Xue'er sighed, somewhat helplessly. He shrugged and looked at the president.

"Father, it's still just wishful thinking on my part! But don't worry, I will definitely take him down as soon as possible."

After saying that, Ai Xueer patted her chest. Ai Xueer was very confident. From childhood to adulthood, many men had pursued her, but she had rejected them all.

Chapter 255 Giving You a Helping Hand

No one had ever caught her eye; Su Mu was the first. This time, she was determined to have Su Mu. Hearing Ai Xue'er's words, the president nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly.

"Girls really do grow up and leave home, don't worry, I'll lend you a hand."

Ai Xue'er nodded quickly and nestled in the president's arms.

"Father, I knew you were the best to me."

The president shook his head. He only had this one daughter, and she was the one he doted on the most since she was a child. Moreover, his daughter was exceptionally outstanding.

She went to study in Hammerstein in 563 and has only just returned, yet she's already taken over the company's affairs—and everyone knows it. Ai Xue'er is decisive and efficient, practically displaying the demeanor of a former CEO.

So everyone praised Ashleigh highly, but her employees secretly spoke ill of her, saying that she was too strict with them.

But the president always stood by Ai Xue'er's side. Ai Xue'er's way of doing things was just like the president's. The president laughed and shook his head. Ai Xue'er had good taste.

He accepted Su Mu as his son-in-law. Su Mu was unaware of their schemes. Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his post.

These people quickly gathered around and looked at Su Mu, saying...

"Su Mu, how's the situation? Why did the president call you over? Is he against your relationship with Ai Xue'er?"

"Yes, yes, I think that CEO is so cold and mean, he definitely won't agree to you two being together. But don't be discouraged, as long as you persist, the CEO will definitely agree to you two."

Hearing their words, Su Mu was speechless. He coughed twice and looked at his subordinates.

"Stop talking nonsense here. Ai Xue'er and I are not in that kind of relationship at all. If you put this energy into your work, you would have been promoted long ago."

Could it be that their affair has already affected the company's atmosphere? Everyone whispered among themselves. Su Mu coughed twice and looked at them, saying...

"Stop causing trouble here and get to work, or don't blame me for being impolite."

After saying this, Su Mu rolled up his sleeves. They were all terrified, and they quickly nodded and slunk away. Su Mu smiled helplessly.

These people are really interesting. Su Mu slowly walked forward, wanting to get a glass of water. Just then, Ai Xue'er came down from upstairs. Ai Xue'er breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Su Mu, saying...

"Su Mu, fill my water glass with water too."

Su Mu naturally accepted it, but everyone started whispering again. They all thought that Su Mu and Ai Xue'er looked very good together, and it would be a good thing if the two of them could get married.

Everyone was talking at once, which annoyed Su Mu. He turned around and looked at them, saying...

"Have you all finished your work? Get to work now, or don't blame me for being impolite."

The people quickly turned their heads away, not daring to utter a sound. Su Mu handed the water glass to Ai Xue'er, who nodded and deliberately grasped Su Mu's hand.

"Su Mu, are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together!"

Chapter 256 Waiting at the Door

Su Mu waved his hand, looked at Ai Xue'er, and said softly.

"Aisher, no need, I don't want to eat dinner tonight."

After saying that, Su Mu turned around and left. Everyone was stunned that Su Mu would directly reject Ai Xue'er. Ai Xue'er was not angry. She took the water glass and calmly walked upstairs.

Everyone was shocked. What was going on? What was the situation between the two of them? They looked at each other in bewilderment. Was it still Ai Xue'er pursuing Su Mu one-sidedly?

So, when it was time to leave work in the evening, Ai Xue'er waited at the door. When she saw Su Mu come out, she quickly went up to him and said to him.

"Su Mu, do you have time now? I'd like to talk to you."

Su Mu nodded. The rumors between the two of them had already affected the mood of other people in the company.

Moreover, these people always put him and Ai Xue'er together, and he wanted to have a good talk with Ai Xue'er about how to deal with these rumors.

Seeing that Su Mu had agreed, Ai Xue'er nodded with relief. She followed behind Su Mu, and the two of them went to a nearby coffee shop. Su Mu sat down and looked at Ai Xue'er and said...

“Aisher, I hope you can clarify things to the outside world. Stop being ambiguous with me. People are starting to gossip about us.”

After speaking, Su Mu lowered his head and sighed. He had warned these people, but no one wanted to believe him. They thought that there must be something going on between Ai Xue'er and Su Mu.

Ai Xue'er smiled, looked at Su Mu, and said softly.

"But this isn't just a rumor, it's absolutely true, and I'll win you over sooner or later."

Su Mu was speechless. He shook his head, looked at Ai Xue'er, and said with a serious expression.

"Aisher, stop making jokes like that. It's not funny at all, and I won't agree to it. I don't have those feelings for you."

After speaking, Su Mu stood up, intending to leave immediately. Ai Xue'er found this very strange, so she grabbed Su Mu's hand and whispered something.

"Su Mu, are you playing hard to get? You don't need to worry about the difference in our backgrounds, and my father is very supportive of us."

Ai Xue'er thought Su Mu was under too much pressure, but Su Mu shook his head. Su Mu was both amused and exasperated. He told Ai Xue'er that he didn't like her and that he just wanted to focus on his work and didn't want to talk about these romantic feelings.

.....

After saying that, Su Mu pushed Ai Xue'er away and left. Ai Xue'er was stunned. She stood there, at a loss. She quickly shook her head. How could that be?

From childhood to adulthood, so many men have been swaying around her, and Su Mu is certainly no exception. He's just pretending to be reserved now. When Ai Xue'er puts her hands behind her back, he chuckles.

"Su Mu, just you wait, I'll take you down one day."

After saying that, Ai Xue'er left immediately. Seeing Ai Xue'er's demeanor, Su Mu shook his head, letting out a sigh of relief. He hadn't expected Ai Xue'er to be so stubborn.

Chapter 257 Stubborn to the end

Su Mu stretched and went home to rest. The next morning, Ai Xue'er brought Su Mu a loving breakfast, which he made himself and labeled the breakfast box.

But Su Mu didn't even glance at it before tossing it aside. At that moment, the busybodies came over and looked at Su Mu, saying...

"Su Mu, are you sure you don't want to eat? This is breakfast made by Miss herself!"

"Yes, yes, five, six, seven! Su Mu, hurry up and eat! If you don't eat, Miss will be sad!"

"Su Mu, don't be so stubborn! Ai Xue'er really admires you."

They were all talking at once. Su Mu just found it amusing. He waved his hand and looked at them, saying...

"You guys eat, I've already eaten."

After saying that, Su Mu left to hand over his work to his client. These people all wanted to try Ai Xue'er's cooking, so they secretly opened the breakfast boxes and ate them all.

When Su Mu returned, the breakfast box was gone, but Su Mu didn't think much of it. He knew that his brothers must have taken it, and Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Ai Xueer made breakfast with love for several days in a row, and she was very pleased. Su Mu ate it all every day, and Ai Xueer left triumphantly.

Sooner or later, Su Mu would fall at her feet. That morning, Ai Xue'er brought Su Mu a loving breakfast, just like always.

These colleagues casually took it and wanted to eat it. Ai Xue'er was shocked. She quickly stepped forward and said loudly.

"This is for Su Mu, why should you eat it?"

The colleagues were stunned for a moment. They were very surprised. They hadn't expected to be caught by Ai Xue'er. The colleagues scratched their heads and said awkwardly.

“Miss, it would be a waste if we didn’t eat it. Su Mu refuses to eat every day. He leaves your lovingly prepared breakfast aside, so we have no choice but to eat it.”

Aisher couldn't believe it this weekend, and he breathed a sigh of relief, looking at everyone and saying.

"How is this possible? I spend a lot of time making Su Mu's loving breakfast every day, why doesn't Su Mu want to eat it? What's going on?"

Ai Xue'er was very puzzled. Just then, Su Mu slowly walked over. Su Mu's expression was indifferent. Seeing Ai Xue'er arrive, Su Mu wasn't surprised. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked Ai Xue'er...

"Miss, what brings you here? What brings you here?"

Ai Xue'er waved her hand, looked at Su Mu, and said softly.

"Su Mu, why don't you want to eat the breakfast I made? Is it not to your liking? I can make it again."

But Su Mu shook his head. He looked at Ai Xue'er and said with a serious expression.

"Miss, there's no need for that. Besides, I eat breakfast every morning before coming, so you don't need to go to that trouble. You should just focus on your work."

After speaking, Su Mu sat down and began assigning tasks to the bodyguards. Ai Xue'er's smile froze on her face; she hadn't expected Su Mu to be so cold towards her.
