Physical Examination

The next day, Zhu Yu arrived at the CEO's office early.

The moment he opened the office door—

"Woof~" An electronic voice came from inside.

Zhu Yu locked eyes with a robotic dog standing before him.

"Hello—" The robot dog tilted its head.

"Ahhhhh!!!" Zhu Yu grabbed the doorknob.

"What's wrong?" Shen Jingmo's calm voice came from behind him.

"A dog, a dog..." Zhu Yu looked at Shen Jingmo behind him, too flustered to speak coherently.

—[A robot dog! So cool! I've never seen one before!]

"Wei Li, go back to the lounge." Shen Jingmo calmly made a gesture at the machine in front of him.

"Yes, Master." Wei Li walked into the office lounge and shut the door.

"Boss, where did you buy that robot dog? It seems so intelligent." Zhu Yu stared at the lounge door for a long time, unable to recover.

"It hasn't been released yet. Go on, what's on the schedule today?" Shen Jingmo sat in his office chair and adjusted his cuffs.

"It's like this, Boss. At 8:30 this morning, I arranged for a doctor to come to the company for a physical examination. At 11:30, you'll discuss a collaboration with W Company over lunch, and at 6:00 tonight, there's a charity gala." Standing beside the desk, Zhu Yu clearly recited the entire day's schedule.

Shen Jingmo nodded to show that he understood. "You can go back now."

Shen Jingmo instinctively reached for the cup on his desk, but before he could touch it, Zhu Yu picked it up.

"Boss, the coffee in this cup has already gone cold. I'll make you another one."

"Thanks, but no—"

"No milk, no sugar." Zhu Yu replied with a smile.

"Mm." Shen Jingmo looked at Zhu Yu silently for several seconds before picking up a document beside him and beginning to read.

Zhu Yu placed the empty cup in the pantry and took out another sterilized cup.

Following Shen Jingmo's preferences from memory, he made a cup of coffee.

Why did Zhu Yu know them so well? Because in the novel, the male lead had once reminisced with the female lead about his deceased older brother and happened to mention it.

Zhu Yu had been especially curious about what a domineering CEO's tastes were like, so he had carefully remembered it. He had not expected it to come in handy now.

Zhu Yu brought the freshly made coffee into the office.

Shen Jingmo instinctively lifted the cup and took a sip. His expression paused—the coffee suited his tastes perfectly.

Zhu Yu did not disturb him. Instead, he quietly left the office and carefully closed the door.

Inside the office, Shen Jingmo drank his coffee and watched Zhu Yu's departing figure through the doorway.

When Zhu Yu returned to his own office, he suddenly discovered that those two lunatics, Li Yichen and Shen Jingyan, had actually arrived at their posts on time.

The dark circles beneath their eyes were especially obvious. Even from a distance, their panda-like eye bags could be seen.

Su Duoduo brought them breakfast.

After the two thanked Su Duoduo, they slumped back down again. Neither of them would ever admit that after going home last night, they had spent the entire night doubting their own work abilities.

Zhu Yu checked the time. There were still twenty minutes before the doctor arrived.

Zhu Yu carried out the documents that needed to be handled at the assistants' work area today.

He distributed all the work equally among the employees.

Looking at the documents in their hands, Li Yichen and Shen Jingyan became even more listless.

After calculating the time, Zhu Yu went downstairs.

At the front desk downstairs, the receptionist was registering the doctor's name.

"Dr. Lu, thank you for coming personally." The doctor Zhu Yu had arranged for was Lu Xi, the chief physician of City Central Hospital. Lu Xi had another identity as well: the Shen Household's family doctor.

"It's nothing. I heard at the hospital that the president of Shen Corporation was getting a physical examination. Since I happen to be Mr. Shen's family doctor, I came along." Lu Xi was a very gentle-looking man, only a few years older than Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu took Lu Xi directly to the top floor and into Shen Jingmo's office.

The moment Lu Xi entered the office, he caught the scent of coffee lingering in the air.

As he opened his medical case, Lu Xi said with a smile, "A-Mo, you still love coffee as much as ever, especially with a little sugar."

Shen Jingmo's hand paused.

"Dr. Lu, you must be mistaken. Our boss dislikes sweet things the most. He never adds sugar to his coffee." Zhu Yu casually remarked as he tidied the sofa.

Lu Xi's hand paused as he took out his equipment, and the smile on his face stiffened slightly. "Perhaps I remembered incorrectly."

"Mm." Shen Jingmo answered as he took off his suit jacket.

Zhu Yu smoothly placed the jacket on the sofa. Their movements were fluid and perfectly coordinated, without the slightest pause.

Lu Xi watched the two of them, and his eyes darkened.
