She stood before Su Zhinian's desk and found herself unable to speak because she didn't have the heart to ruin the moment. As if noticing her reluctance to speak, after signing the latest document, Su Zhinian looked up to glance at Cheng Qingchong.

Meeting his gaze, Cheng Qingchong immediately said, "CEO Su, you have a dinner appointment at Eldorado 8 pm tonight."

Su Zhinian, who was reaching for another file, had his motion slowed when he heard that sentence. As he flipped through the new document in a careless and nonchalant manner, he answered softly, "Cancel it."

"But CEO Zhang from Rui Si is coming, and you promised to attend this appointment years ago. Furthermore, CEO Zhang has invested in the new project that we're starting next month…" Before Cheng Qingchong managed to finish her piece, she sensed Su Zhinian's gaze back on her again. His emotionless gaze belied a powerful charisma, zipping her mouth shut immediately.

If this were any other time, Cheng Qingchong would have escaped from the room immediately. However, this time, she stood where she was, and after staring at Su Zhinian for two seconds, her eyes glanced at Song Qingchun, who was also in the room. Her dark pupils moved twice, and she said softly, after gathering her courage, "But CEO Su, when I was chatting with Miss Song this afternoon, she was quite excited when I mentioned we might be having dinner at Eldorado tonight. She said that she has not been there for a long time and that she missed the food there."

Su Zhinian's hand, which was flipping a page, stopped moving. However, he turned to look at Cheng Qingchong the next second. There was a lack of emotion in his eyes, and Cheng Qingchong couldn't tell whether he had believed her or not. Her palms clenched nervously into fists, and after a quick thought, she added in a hurry, "CEO Su, if you don't believe me, why don't you ask Miss Song?"

Then, Cheng Qingchong turned to call out, "Miss Song?"

Ever since Su Zhinian returned to his office, Song Qingchun had found it hard to concentrate. None of the conversation between Cheng Qingchong and Su Zhinian had managed to register in her mind. When she heard her name called, she raised her head in a blurred manner and said, "Huh?"

"Miss Song, didn't you mention to me that you wish to go to Eldorado this afternoon?" Cheng Qingchong repeated what she had said earlier calmly, and while Su Zhinian wasn't looking, she winked conspiratorially at Song Qingchun.

When did I say I want to go to Eldorado?

Song Qingchun was about to say that she hadn't when she saw the signal from Cheng Qingchong. As she swallowed her words back down her throat, the reality of the situation slowly dawned on her. She decided to play along and nodded before softly adding, "I did."

"Therefore, CEO Su…"

Before Cheng Qingchong could continue to persuade Su Zhinian, the man cut her off by saying, "I understand. Have the driver prepare the car at 7 pm. You can go now."

Cheng Qingchong left the office, and the room returned to a state of silence. Su Zhinian resumed his work, and Song Qingchun, who had grabbed a random magazine to bury her face in, suddenly got increasingly flustered.
