While Gu Chenyu's company is entering a critical period, Su Jinyu's business at the traditional Chinese medicine shop is also becoming increasingly busy. They shuttle through their respective busyness, but never forget to find time to be together.
Gu Chenyu's office is located in the center of a bustling city, between tall buildings. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the prosperity of the city is fully visible. The interior decoration is simple and elegant, with elements of modern technology, which befits his identity as a young CEO of a technology company. On his desk, in addition to piles of documents, there are various high-tech products, showcasing his passion for technology.
In the office, Gu Chenyu is sitting at his desk, frowning slightly, holding a pen in his hand, and staring at the computer screen with a serious expression. His features are deep-set, with fair skin that appears even colder under the harsh office lighting. He occasionally adjusts his glasses lightly and swiftly moves his fingers on the keyboard, with each keystroke seeming to make an important decision.
Suddenly, the door is gently pushed open, and an assistant walks in cautiously, holding a report. Gu Chenyu looks up, and his sharp gaze pierces the assistant like a sword. The assistant trembles and says, "CEO, this is the latest market analysis report. Would you like to take a look?"
Gu Chenyu coldly took the report and glanced at it, then said in a cold voice, "This analysis is extremely shallow, even elementary school students have more insight than this. Go back and redo it!" The tone revealed unquestionable severity and bluntness.
The assistant nodded in fright and said in a small voice, "Yes, President." After speaking, he quickly retreated.
Gu Chenyu let out a sigh and turned to look out the window, a hint of weariness flashing in his eyes. His life, like this city, was in high-speed operation, allowing no room for any pause. He tightly gripped the pen in his hand, his gaze once again becoming resolute, as if telling himself that no matter how difficult, he would persevere, for the company, for his own dreams.
At that moment, his phone suddenly rang, displaying Su Jinyu's incoming call on the screen. Gu Chenyu's brow slightly relaxed, and a hint of a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips, a side of him rarely seen by others. He pressed the answer key, and a cold voice came through the receiver: "It's so late, why aren't you resting?"
Su Jinyu's voice came through the microphone, with a hint of playfulness: "CEO Gu, are you concerned about me? The special medicinal cuisine I'm preparing for you isn't ready yet. Would you like to try it?"
Gu Chenyu listened, the smile on his lips deepened, but his tone remained cold: "I appreciate the gesture, but don't forget, I am the president of a technology company, not here to taste medicinal cuisine."
Su Jinyu smiled and said, "Oh, CEO Gu, you're hurting my feelings by saying that. This medicinal cuisine is specially tailored to your constitution. It not only nourishes your body but also relieves your work pressure."
Gu Chenyu listened to Su Jinyu's words, his eyes revealing a hint of complex emotions. Besides work, he also needed some warmth and care in his life. He gently said, "Alright, I will consider it." After saying that, he hung up the phone, a barely noticeable tenderness flashing in his eyes.
Su Jinyu's Chinese medicine shop is located on a quaint street in the city, preserving tradition and tranquility despite being in the bustling city center. The shop's decor combines classical and modern elements, with traditional Chinese landscape paintings hanging on the walls and complemented by soft lighting, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.
Today, Su Jinyu is wearing a light green qipao embroidered with delicate peony flowers, accentuating her slender figure with elegance. Her long hair is styled in a simple bun, with a few strands casually falling in front, adding a touch of playfulness.
The shop is filled with various Chinese medicinal herbs, and the wooden medicine cabinet emits a faint sandalwood fragrance. Su Jinyu skillfully weaves through the medicine cabinet, her fingers lightly gliding over the old medicine bottles, showing great proficiency. She flips through an old medicinal book, occasionally furrowing her brow, pondering something.
A customer walks into the shop, looking somewhat weary. Su Jinyu looks up, approaches with a smile, and says, "Welcome! How can I help you?"
The customer hesitated, "I have been suffering from severe insomnia recently. I heard that traditional Chinese medicine can help improve it."
Su Jinyu nodded, with a hint of cleverness in her eyes, "Of course it can. But you know, sometimes insomnia is not a disease, but rather being troubled by too many worries. Come, sit down first, have a cup of tea, let's chat and see what is causing your insomnia, and then I will prepare suitable herbs for you."
The customer was infected by Su Jinyu's enthusiasm, showing a smile on their face, sitting down to drink tea and chat. Su Jinyu listened to the customer's narration, with a smile on her lips, occasionally interjecting a humorous remark, gradually relaxing the customer's expression.
During the conversation, Su Jinyu suddenly got up, walked to the medicine cabinet, carefully selecting medicinal herbs, muttering to herself, "Hmm, this can calm the nerves, this can aid sleep..." Then she returned to the customer's side, holding a carefully prepared package of medicinal herbs.
"These medicinal herbs, when soaked and consumed every night, will definitely improve your sleep," Su Jinyu handed the customer the herbs, her eyes shining with confidence.
The customer gratefully took the herbs and said with a smile, "Thank you, Miss Su. You are not only a good physician, but also a good counselor."
Su Jinyu smiled and waved, "Not at all, I just enjoy listening to stories. I hope these herbs bring you good dreams."
After the customer left, Su Jinyu returned to her busy work, every movement revealing her passion for traditional Chinese medicine and care for her customers. Her smile, like her herbs, had a magical power to dispel people's worries and troubles.
The city was still brightly lit in the late night, but the vehicles on the road had become scarce. Gu Chenyu drove through the streets, with the neon lights outside the car window reflecting in his deep eyes, shining with a calm and contemplative light. His occasional smile was like a sudden burst of light, breaking his usual stern image.
Su Jinyu's traditional Chinese medicine shop was quiet and warm at this time, with soft lighting spilling onto the quiet street through the glass windows. Gu Chenyu gently pushed open the door, and the doorbell made a crisp sound, breaking the silence of the night. Su Jinyu heard the sound and jokingly said without looking up, "It's so late, it better not be a ghost knocking on the door."
Hearing this, Gu Chenyu responded lightly, "If that's the case, then this ghost is really negligent, choosing to come to the traditional Chinese medicine shop."
Su Jinyu looked up and saw Gu Chenyu, immediately calling out to him with joy, her face lit up with a smile as bright as the stars. She quickly walked up to him, embraced him, and laughed with joy, "What's going on with you? Suddenly turning into the old man under the moon, visiting the widow at night?"
Gu Chenyu was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained composure, with a hint of indulgence in his eyes: "If the widow were you, I wouldn't mind being the matchmaker under the moon."
As they organized their inventory, they chatted. Su Jinyu spoke with energy and wit, while Gu Chenyu responded calmly, occasionally interjecting with a humorous remark. Their conversation was filled with mutual understanding and tacit agreement.
When Su Jinyu picked up a bag of peculiar-shaped medicinal herbs, she mischievously said, "Look, the shape of this herb is really unique, doesn't it look like your cold and stern profile?"
Gu Chenyu looked over and a slight smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "So, according to you, what medicinal herb should your smile resemble?"
Su Jinyu thought for a moment, with a playful sparkle in her eyes: "I think it's like this - licorice, sweet, and can make people feel happy." Her laughter was crisp and pleasant, like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating Gu Chenyu's usually cold heart.
As they organized the inventory, their movements were in perfect harmony. Every time Gu Chenyu handed Su Jinyu an herb, he seemed particularly gentle. Su Jinyu occasionally made jokes, making the originally dull work enjoyable and relaxed.
Finally, when everything was sorted out, Su Jinyu gave Gu Chenyu a grateful smile and said, "Thank you, Chenyu. With you around, even the most ordinary work becomes interesting."
Gu Chenyu responded calmly, "As long as it's with you, anything is worth it."
The moonlight spills onto this ancient street, and Gu Chenyu and Su Jinyu walk in the quiet street, their shadows lengthening and intertwining in the moonlight. Su Jinyu leans gently against Gu Chenyu, her face beaming with a happy smile and her eyes shining with joy.
Su Jinyu couldn't help but joke, "Hey, Mr. Gu, coming to help so late tonight, are you trying to steal our secret recipe?"
Gu Chenyu turned to look at her and said lightly, "If there really is some secret method that can make you so spirited, it's worth learning."
Su Jinyu laughed heartily at this, her laughter echoing in the night sky as she jokingly retorted, "Then you better be careful, my spirited nature is not so easily imitated."
Gu Chenyu listened to her words, and a slight smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth. He was usually not very talkative, but in front of Su Jinyu, he always showed a different side.
They walked slowly, Gu Chenyu's steps were steady and powerful. And Su Jinyu followed him lightly, occasionally saying something amusing, adding some vitality to the quiet night.
After walking through several streets, they found a quiet corner to sit down. Moonlight seeped through the clouds, casting a warm glow on their faces.
Su Jinyu looked at Gu Chenyu with a smile in her eyes, "I've always been grateful that you came to help me when I was busy. You are always so calm and serious, yet you give me the greatest support unintentionally."
Gu Chenyu looked at her, his eyes revealing tenderness: "You are always so cheerful, and you have taught me a different way of life. Your laughter can dispel all my weariness."
They sat quietly like this, enjoying each other's company. Everything under the moonlight seemed peaceful and beautiful. Their hearts were closely connected, building their own little world together.
