On the first day of work, Yuanxi’s task was to organize documents. By the time he finished, it was almost time to clock out.

Meanwhile, Fu Yunzhou had already reviewed all the work that Fu Yushen hadn’t addressed and compiled it into a document. Before leaving, he didn’t forget to ask Fu Yushen’s assistant for a copy of Fu Yushen’s daily schedule.

Originally, Yuanxi thought he would struggle to adapt, but he spent the entire day immersed in high-level tasks. Focusing so intensely on work made him forget about the presence of the male and female leads.

During lunch, it was Fu Yunzhou who instructed the outside secretary to order food and have it delivered. After they both ate their fill, they continued tackling the unresolved issues left behind by the previous employee.

They worked diligently until quitting time, just managing to complete their tasks.

“Wait for me to finish this document, and then I’ll take you home. You can sit for a bit.” Fu Yunzhou said, looking down at the last few pages he had to handle. He set aside the documents Yuanxi organized for processing the next day.

Upon hearing the instructions, Yuanxi obediently sat still waiting for Fu Yunzhou to finish his work.

After Fu Yunzhou finished his work, it was already half an hour past quitting time. To avoid any complications, he always took the presidential elevator with Yuanxi.

Once they arrived at the Fu family home, Yuanxi stared blankly at Fu Yunzhou and asked curiously. “Do you always get off work this early? Then why do you usually come home around ten o’clock?”

Yuanxi pointed at his wristwatch; after half an hour of delay, it was only 7:30 PM when they got home.

Fu Yunzhou paused for a moment before getting out of the car. “I had to work overtime,” he replied.

Yuanxi cast a skeptical glance at Fu Yunzhou, wondering how he could finish so much work today and still leave early. Did he really have a heavier workload before?

Although Yuanxi was puzzled, he felt hesitant to ask further. After all, it was Fu Yunzhou’s personal matter, and he was still his subordinate, so it seemed better to keep his curiosity to himself.

Fu Yunzhou noticed Yuanxi’s inquisitive gaze but made an effort to ignore it to maintain his facade.

With his new job, Yuanxi was in a great mood and decided to show his gratitude by cooking a delicious meal for Fu Yunzhou.

Knowing that the young man wanted to cook, Fu Yunzhou quickly took a moment to send a message to the family home, letting them know he wouldn’t be returning for dinner that night.

Since this was likely Yuanxi’s first time in the kitchen, Fu Yunzhou felt it was essential to stay and not miss this special occasion. It was also a perfect opportunity to observe what other differences Yuanxi might have.
