Xu Li immediately stood up excitedly, her face full of anticipation, and asked, "Really? Anywhere is fine?"
Su Chang smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course."
Xu Hongdou frowned and looked upstairs, saying, "Su Chang, why don't we discuss this together after those three girls get up?" A hint of worry was in her eyes.
Su Chang smiled understandingly and nodded, saying, "I'm just letting you know first. We can discuss the specifics of where we're going and how long we'll be gone after you get off work tonight." His tone was relaxed, trying to ease Xu Hongdou's worries.
Xu Hongdou nodded and said, "No problem." Her expression relaxed.
..... .. 0
Everyone else agreed. Then, Su Chang went to get the breakfast. After everyone finished breakfast, they all went to work.
Su Chang didn't bother the three girls, but instead called Zheng Fangxiu and asked her to help him find a travel agency. Zheng Fangxiu immediately agreed.
Not long after, Su Chang's phone rang. Looking at the unfamiliar number on the screen, he guessed it was a call from the travel agency Zheng Fangxiu had contacted. He pressed the answer button and politely said, "Hello! Are you Mr. Su Chang?"
As soon as the call connected, a pleasant female voice came from the other end. Su Chang replied, "This is Su Chang, and who is this?"
"Hello! Ms. Su, I am Su Mang, the business director of MG Travel Company," Su Mang introduced herself.
Upon hearing Su Mang's introduction, Su Chang was taken aback. He muttered to himself, "I just wanted to consult a travel agency about an itinerary, so how did I end up with a business director from some travel company?" A look of confusion appeared on his face.
Su Mang seemed to sense Su Chang's confusion, and she explained with a smile, "President Su, our MG Travel Company is a professional travel agency that can provide you with the highest quality travel services. Because Longteng Group is our MG Travel Company's VIP client, I will personally be responsible for your itinerary arrangements, which will definitely satisfy you."
After hearing Su Mang's words, Su Chang understood why a business unit director was receiving him. He nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Director Su."
Su Mang then asked again, "Ms. Su, where are you planning to go this time? How many people are in your party? How long are you planning to stay? I need to know these things so that I can better customize the travel itinerary for you."
Su Chang thought for a moment, a hint of apology on his face, and replied, "Director Su, I'm sorry, we only have a travel idea right now. As for where to go and how long to go, we haven't decided yet. The number of people is about ten. I'd like you to send me a travel itinerary for each place so I can help everyone choose." His tone was hesitant, as if he was considering something.
Chapter 255 Determining the Travel Time
Su Mang immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay, Ms. Su. I'll send it to you later. May I ask if your phone number is your Green Bubble number?" Her face radiated confidence and enthusiasm, and her pen tapped lightly on the table.
"Yes," Su Chang replied with a slight smile, expressing his trust in Su Mang's professional abilities.
"Alright, then, Ms. Su, I'll trouble you to approve it later." Su Mang's voice carried a hint of anticipation.
"Okay," Su Chang replied and hung up the phone.
Afterwards, Su Chang's green bubble received a friend request from Su Mang, which he immediately accepted.
Su Mang sent you a message: "President Su, I will send you the travel itinerary before 2 PM this afternoon, is that alright?"
Su Chang replied, "No problem." A slight smile played on his lips, indicating his satisfaction with Su Mang's efficiency.
Su Chang then went to his study to continue writing. As for the three maids, Su Chang had already asked them to take leave, and they were resting at home today.
A little after 1 p.m., Su Chang received a huge file from Su Mang containing travel itineraries from around the world, ranging in duration from two days to a month. He replied with a thank you, then left the study and went straight to his bedroom.
When Su Chang entered, she saw Guan Juer sleeping soundly and felt a surge of warmth in her heart. However, Chen Nanxing and Gao Wenruohan were sleeping in a very awkward position. Chen Nanxing's hand was on Gao Wenruohan's face, while Gao Wenruohan's foot was pressed against Chen Nanxing's stomach, and the blankets on their bodies were nowhere to be seen.
Su Chang shook his head helplessly, his eyes revealing a hint of doting and resignation. He gently walked to the two of them, reached out, and slapped each of them on the bottom.
Chen Nanxing and Gao Wenruohan were immediately awakened. They opened their eyes groggily, their faces showing surprise.
"Hey, Su Chang, why did you hit us?" Chen Nanxing rubbed his eyes and said with dissatisfaction.
"Yeah, you're so annoying. You were so rough last night, and I'm still not fully awake," Wen Gao Ruohan complained.
Su Chang looked at them, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said with a smile, "You two are sleeping like little pigs. It's already one o'clock in the afternoon. Get up and eat something, or you'll be starving later."
"Hmph, we're not little pigs." Chen Nanxing pouted.
"Alright, alright, get up now, I have more good news to tell you later," Su Chang said gently.
Chen Nanxing and Gao Wenruohan reluctantly sat up from the bed, yawning as they slowly dressed.
Su Chang tiptoed to the other side, gently nudged Guan Juer, and whispered, "Guan Guan... Guan Guan... wake up!"
Guan Juer, still sleepy, rubbed her sore eyes. Upon seeing Su Chang, a sweet smile immediately bloomed on her face, and she softly called out, "Brother Su Chang."
Su Chang affectionately stroked Guan Juer's hair and said softly, "Guan Guan, it's one o'clock in the afternoon. Get up and have something to eat."
Guan Juer nodded obediently and replied, "Okay, Brother Su Chang."
When Chen Nanxing saw Su Chang waking Guan Juer so gently, he immediately pouted and said with a resentful look, "Brother Su Chang, you're being too unfair! You're so gentle with Guan Guan, but so violent with us."
Wen Gao Ruohan chimed in, "Exactly, it's unfair."
Su Chang glared at the two of them, annoyed, and said helplessly, "Look at your sleeping postures, each one more twisted than the last, and look how well Guan Guan sleeps. You two have the nerve to say that? This morning, her little feet were practically sticking into my mouth."
Upon hearing Su Chang's words, Gao Wenruohan and Chen Nanxing blushed and lowered their heads in embarrassment. Although Chen Nanxing was somewhat dissatisfied and snorted angrily, she was still frightened when she saw Su Chang's eager hand and quickly pulled Gao Wenruohan out of the room.
Su Chang watched the two girls' retreating figures, shook his head helplessly, then smiled indulgently and muttered, "These two girls, really."
Afterwards, Su Chang gently dressed Guan Juer, his movements careful, as if Guan Juer were a precious treasure. He thought to himself that Guan Juer had endured the most fire yesterday, and she was still not very mobile, so he had to take good care of her.
Su Chang carried Guan Juer to the bathroom, gently placed her on the sink, turned on the tap, adjusted the water temperature, and let Guan Juer wash up. Watching Su Chang's busy figure, Guan Juer felt a surge of emotion and warmth.
Guan Juer was also very grateful to Chen Nanxing, after all, it was because of her idea that Su Chang was so doting on her today.
In the evening, after everyone returned and had dinner together, Su Chang sent all the information that Su Mang had sent to everyone via Green Bubble.
"Do you guys see if there's any place you'd like to go or any routes you'd like to take?" Su Chang asked the group, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Chen Nanxing spoke first: "I want to go to the beach." Her voice was full of excitement, and her eyes sparkled as if she could already see the azure sea and the golden sand.
Wen Gaoruohan chimed in, "I also want to go to the beach." Her face was filled with longing, as if she was already imagining strolling along the beach.
Su Chang then looked at the other women and noticed that they weren't in a hurry to express their opinions, but were looking down at their documents. He then asked the two of them, "There are quite a few options for going to the beach. It depends on whether you want to go domestically or abroad, and how long you plan to stay."
Chen Nanxing immediately replied, "How about we go to Bali? We can travel all over Southeast Asia in one trip." Her words revealed eagerness, as if she couldn't wait to embark on the journey.
Wen Gao Ruohan shook her head and said, "No, I've heard that Southeast Asia is quite chaotic. Let's go to Europe instead. Greece is a good place to go and see the Aegean Sea."
Yang Tao then interjected, "Why don't we just travel around the country? We still have a lot of things to do at the hotel. Who knows how long it would take to travel abroad?"
Andy chimed in, "Indeed, Shengxuan is quite busy too. Taking too long a break isn't good. Although Lao Tan didn't say anything, I still feel bad about it." Her face showed an understanding smile for Yang Tao, while also revealing her sense of responsibility towards her work.
The women then began a heated discussion. Chen Nanxing and Gao Wenruohan were determined to go to the beach, while Yang Tao and Andy didn't care where they went, as long as they didn't stay too long. Xu Hongdou wanted to take a trip to Yunnan, while Xu Li and Guan Juer just watched from the sidelines, offering no opinions...
Su Chang thought for a moment and said, "How about this, we'll take a trip to the southwest first. Peach and Andy can go back to Shanghai first, and then we'll go to Greece. Let's not go to Southeast Asia; it's really chaotic there. It wouldn't be good if someone accidentally snatched our kidneys." His expression was serious and his tone was firm, clearly indicating that he had made a decision.
Chen Nanxing ran to Su Chang's side and said in a coquettish tone, "Brother Su Chang, but I want to see the pink sand beach and Lover's Cliff, and I also want to stay at that hotel with the infinity pool." Her face was full of anticipation.
Su Chang gently patted Chen Nanxing's head, a strange smile playing on her lips, and asked softly, "Nanxing, are you being a good boy?"
Without hesitation, Chen Nanxing put on a well-behaved look, blinked her big eyes, and replied in a sweet voice, "Brother Su Chang, of course I'm being good! So, Brother Su Chang, look how good I am, does that mean you'll agree to be with me?"
Su Chang didn't answer Chen Nanxing's question immediately. Instead, his smile widened, and he asked with a smile, "So, since you're being so obedient, does that mean you listen to me?"
Upon hearing Su Chang's question, Xu Li, Xu Hongdou, Andy, Guan Juer, and Yang Tao all couldn't help but chuckle. They all knew that Su Chang was setting a trap for Chen Nanxing, but none of them spoke up to warn him.
Without a second thought, Chen Nanxing nodded and agreed, "Of course I'll listen."
Su Chang nodded in satisfaction and said with a look of relief, "Then Nanxing, be good, we won't go to Bali, okay?"
"Pfft..." Upon hearing Su Chang's words, everyone except Chen Nanxing finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Chen Nanxing was instantly dumbfounded. She stared at Su Chang in disbelief, then looked at Xu Hongdou with a pitiful expression and said coquettishly, "Hongdou, Brother Su Chang bullied me."
Seeing Chen Nanxing's pitiful appearance, Xu Hongdou felt a pang of heartache. She quickly walked to Chen Nanxing's side, glared at Su Chang with annoyance, then hugged Chen Nanxing tightly, gently patting her back and comforting her tenderly, "Okay, Nanxing, we'll listen to Su Chang this time. How about we go to Bali by ourselves next time?"
Hearing Xu Hongdou's words, Chen Nanxing was very unwilling, but she still pouted and did not object anymore. She just said with a wronged look, "Okay then."
Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Su Chang clapped his hands happily and said, "Alright then, it's tentatively just the seven of us, plus six bodyguards, making a total of 13 people. We'll set off this weekend, is that alright?"
Guan Juer spoke cautiously, her eyes revealing a hint of expectation and worry, and said softly, "Should we wait until Sister Weiwei comes back before we go together?" Her fingers unconsciously fiddled with the hem of her clothes, as if she were a little nervous.
Wen Gao Ruohan chimed in, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and said eagerly, "Brother Su Chang, should we invite Nuan Nuan along? She's been talking about you for so long." She leaned forward slightly, her hands clasped tightly, as if anticipating Su Chang's response.
Xu Li also reminded them at the right time, "And what about the ten sisters, including my eldest sister? Should we invite them along too?"
Chapter 256 Meeting Song Nuan
Su Chang countered, "Weiwei will be back in two weeks, right?" His brows furrowed slightly, as if he were pondering something.
Wen Gao Ruohan nodded quickly and answered affirmatively, "Yes, Sister Weiwei will be back the Tuesday after next."
Su Chang thought for a moment, then said, "Alright then, let's set off again next Friday night. The ten sisters have something to do recently, so they won't be going. We'll go out together next time." His tone was firm, but a hint of hesitation still showed in his eyes.
"As for Nuannuan, I'll ask her later," Su Chang continued, his gaze shifting to Wen Gao Ruohan, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes: "Ruohan, has Nuannuan's father been keeping an eye on her lately?"
Upon hearing Su Chang mention Song Guangming, Gao Wenruohan looked at Su Chang with a strange expression, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said, "Brother Su Chang, you wouldn't be afraid to go see Nuannuan just because of Uncle Song, would you?"
Su Chang glared at her, annoyed, with a hint of embarrassment and helplessness on his face. He shook his head and said with a wry smile, "What else can I do? Ever since I went to Nuannuan's house for the New Year, her father moved the whole family to Shanghai. He treats me like a thief. He even follows us when we go out for a meal. How am I supposed to go see Nuannuan?"
Upon hearing Su Chang's words, everyone burst into laughter again. Their laughter was full of goodwill and understanding, as if they could imagine how Song Guangming, the "big bathroom heater," shone brightly between Su Chang and Song Nuan, and they could also feel Su Chang's helplessness and predicament.
Wen Gao Ruohan quickly explained, "Brother Su Chang, actually, after you went to Kyoto, Uncle Song accompanied Nuan Nuan to pick you up and drop you off for a month. After he found out you weren't coming anymore, he stopped coming." Her tone was comforting, hoping to put Su Chang at ease.
Su Chang's eyes lit up immediately, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He asked eagerly, "Really?"
Wen Gao Ruohan answered with certainty, "Of course." Her eyes were full of confidence, which convinced Su Chang to believe her.
Su Chang nodded and said, "That's good. I'll ask Nuan Nuan tomorrow, and then I'll go to the travel agency to confirm our itinerary." He was filled with anticipation, after all, it had been quite a while since he had seen Song Nuan, and he missed her quite a bit.
Wen Gao Ruohan originally wanted to say something, but seeing Su Chang's appearance, she didn't say anything.
The next morning, after Su Chang and Andy finished their run, Su Chang drove Wen Gaoruohan to the company.
Upon arriving at the company lobby, many new female employees saw Su Chang and their eyes lit up with amazement. They couldn't help but exclaim, "Who is that handsome guy next to Wen Gaoruohan?"
"Yeah, he's even more handsome than Zhang Sheng," another female employee said, cupping her face in her hands and looking on with a lovesick expression.
"Of course! They're not even in the same league! Zhang Sheng is just a rich kid at best, while this is our boss, President Su. There's no comparison!" A senior employee said proudly, as if Su Chang was his pride.
"Is this our boss? And is that Wen Gao Ruohan next to him...?" The new employee said, making a "together" gesture with his hands, his eyes full of curiosity.
The veteran employee quickly interrupted, "Keep your voice down. Do you want to quit? Talking about the boss behind his back." His eyes revealed a hint of nervousness, and he glanced around, afraid that Su Chang would hear him.
Immediately, everyone fell silent, with many only daring to whisper amongst themselves. Su Chang, however, paid no attention to the employees' chatter. His gaze swept over the female employees, a slight smile playing on his lips, seemingly pleased with his own charm.
However, when he heard the name Zhang Sheng, Su Chang frowned, a sense of displeasure rising within him. He thought to himself, "Zhang Sheng? That name sounds familiar..."
As soon as the elevator doors closed, Su Chang's expression turned serious. He stared intently at Wen Gaoruohan, his eyes revealing a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction.
"Ruohan, are you hiding something from me?" Su Chang's voice was deep and powerful, with an unquestionable tone.
Wen Gao Ruohan felt Su Chang's gaze, gave a helpless bitter smile, and quickly explained, "Brother Su Chang, it's nothing serious. It's just that a new intern joined the company named Zhang Sheng. He's alright looking, a rich second-generation, and he's fallen for Nuan Nuan, so he's been pursuing her relentlessly, but Nuan Nuan hasn't paid any attention to him." Her eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and innocence.
Su Chang stared intently into Wen Ruohan's eyes, trying to find a flaw in her expression. His gaze was like a sharp sword, as if trying to pierce her heart, but he could also tell that she wasn't deceiving him.
