[University B’s classroom] ‒ After going through all of the major assignments that the students had handed in, the teacher placed the last one on the left hand side of the podium and cleared his throat, “Ahem. Ahem.”

“Class leaders from both classes come and hand out your class assignments.”

“I’ve read the big assignments that all of you have handed in. Overall, you’ve all done well at this stage.”

“I have briefly annotated some of the problems and areas that need improvement on your assignments, so that you can correct them once it is given back to you.”

“Also,” after a pause, the teacher added, “There are a few other students whose assignment has already been completed. Not bad, here’s a commendation.”

When he said this, the teacher couldn’t stop himself from glancing at Su Rui, who was sitting below him.

The assignment that Su Rui had handed in was not only finished, but it should be said that it was very well done.

The analysis of the case study on the subject was very accurate.

He had looked at it twice and found nothing wrong with it, even though he hadn’t thought of many points.

He was aware of what level the students he had been teaching for a semester were at.

He could not exclude those who were particularly hard-working and made rapid progress.

This assignment of Su Rui, however, reminded him of another person.

I heard she had gotten married?

When he thought of this, the teacher’s face lit up as an ‘experienced person’ and didn’t take the matter too seriously.

He was not that kind of obstinate old pedant.

If someone is able to do so, it is also because they have the qualification to do that.

……

Afterwards.

Liu Ling was not as knowledgeable and insightful as the teacher of the analytics class.

So when she looked at Su Rui’s assignment, her eyes were almost about to pop out.

“What the freak^[1]! Su Rui, you’ve actually finished it!” Liu Ling looked at Su Rui with an incredulous expression, and couldn’t help but mutter again, “You were engaged, and you were on your honeymoon. Yet, you still managed to find time to finish all your big assignments!”

“I was accompanying him to work, what honeymoon are you talking about?” Su Rui said quietly.

It wasn’t a honeymoon. It was a business trip, so how could it take up so many days? Moreover, looking at those pictures Su Rui posted in Moments^[2], she wanted to find someone to get married and go out to have fun.

“Fine, fine, if you say it’s not, then it’s not, but how did you do it?”

“Even after you’ve done it, you actually did it so well.”

This was the point that Liu Ling was most shocked by.

Although their topics were different and she didn’t know much about the topic of Su Rui’s analysis, just looking at these pages of analysis alone was enough to make her feel it was superb.

“Wow, you aren’t that bad. When I heard you were going to Gu Company, I thought you were going to go and date with your Chairman Gu. Who would have known that you have only gone for half a semester and your ability increased so much! ”

“What kind of brilliant trick did your family’s Chairman Gu use to make you soar?”

Being asked by Liu Ling with such astonishment, Su Rui even blushed a little.

“Don’t you think this analysis is just not in the same league as us?” Su Rui said quietly after letting out a sigh and glancing at Liu Ling.

Now that she says so, that was really the case.

“How did you do that?”

Su Rui said, “I didn’t do it.” She added, “This was done by Gu Yu Cheng.”

Liu Ling: !

“My…! God, this was actually made by Gu Yu Cheng!” After a moment of surprise, Liu Ling added, “No wonder! I was wondering how come it is so good. It feels more incisive than even the example problem analysis given by Lao Zhang.”

“Your special abilities are too… “

“No, no, this is the assignment done by Chairman Gu, I have to study and emulate it properly.”

……

In the evening, when Gu Yu Cheng left the company and arrived at University B, Su Rui also happened to have finished an elective course’s test.

“Have you finished?”

“En.” Gu Yu Cheng took Su Rui into his warm embrace.

“How did the exams go today?” Gu Yu Cheng asked.

“Not bad.”

Speaking of which, Su Rui remembered the big assignment Gu Yu Cheng had done for her yesterday.

“It’s mostly thanks to you, Senior Gu.” Su Rui nibbled on Gu Yu Cheng’s lower lip and said with a smile on her face, and specially emphasized the words “Senior Gu”.

However, it didn’t sound like she was thanking you.

When Gu Yu Cheng heard that, he let out a light laugh and did not mind it.

Deliberately going along with Su Rui’s words, Gu Yu Cheng said, “If you want to thank me, then let’s find a nice place to eat dinner today and…”

“No way.”

“We’re not going anywhere today. We’re going home and then you’re going to bed a little early.”

Although she knew Gu Yu Cheng is very efficient, that analysis took quite a bit of time to do, right? And the man had finished it.

After finishing that big assignment at night, he still prepared breakfast in the morning.

Su Rui wondered how many hours he had slept last night. Or did he not sleep at all?

Hearing this, looking at the concern in Su Rui’s eyes, a warmth brushed through Gu Yu Cheng’s heart.

“Okay, I will listen to my wife.”
