Know My Limits

Saturday has arrived. The day when the Su Anya's team had to present the project's progress report to Lu Rayansh.

They have decided to discuss it in the coffee shop's private room. Su Anya's team arrived before Lu Rayansh.

Su Anya was sitting next to the window, gazing out. The coffee shop had a very quiet and peaceful atmosphere. There was soothing and relaxing music playing, which can help to calm your nerves.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting."

Su Anya raised her head to look at the person who had announced his presence, but she was disappointed to see that only Lu Rayansh's secretary was present. Her eyes were searching for someone else, and she seemed destined to be disappointed.

"Mr. Lu will be unable to attend today's meeting," said the secretary as he took his seat. "You can provide me with the project's current status report."

The three team members remained silent while waiting for their team leader to speak up. Su Anya was lost in thought after learning that Lu Rayansh would not be present today.

"Anya." Shen Yue tapped her on the shoulder to get her attention.

"Huh?" She regained consciousness and noticed that everyone was staring at her.

"Miss Su, I am awaiting the project's progress report." Secretary Du stated patiently.

"You guys explain the project." Su Anya addressed her team members. She wasn't in the right frame of mind.

Without hesitation, the three of them agreed to her. Secretary Du frowned as he observed her casual demeanor. He put his displeasure aside and began to listen to their report.

After two to three hours, the three of them had finished explaining the project's details. Secretary Du was extremely pleased with these young talents. He could see their potential and was already considering informing Mr. Lu about hiring them.

"You guys put in a lot of effort. With the project's current status, you are certain to impress everyone during the competition. Keep up the good work." He didn't hesitate to praise them.

Keep up the good work." He didn't hesitate to praise them. Now I'm going to leave." He stood up from his seat and walked out after saying some encouraging words.

Su Anya jumped up from her seat and dashed after secretary Du as he exited the coffee shop.

"Mr. Secretary." She called out to him from behind.

Secretary Du came to a halt in his steps, turned around, and looked at her with puzzled expression. "Do you require anything from me, Miss Su?"

"Why didn't Mr. Lu show up to this meetup?" Su Anya finally asked the question that had been bothering her for so long.

Her question caught Secretary Du off guard. He paused for a moment before shaking his head. 'Young girls are always bothering Mr. Lu; I didn't expect this little girl to do the same.' He thought to himself.

"Miss Su, I've already told you that he's at work." After a brief pause, he said In a stern tone, "Miss Su, you are quite intelligent, so I hope you will not harbor any feelings toward Mr. Lu."

After hearing his last words, Su Anya felt a cold water bucket fall on her head. "Don't worry, Mr. Secretary, I know my limits," she said calmly. "Have a good day." She turned around and walked away after saying that.

Looking at her cold figure, Secretary Du felt a pang of guilt. He felt he had misunderstood her, but when he considered her casual behavior... 'It's becoming more difficult to comprehend the mindset of today's youth.'

Secretary Du's phone began to ring. He took out his phone and saw that it was his boss who was calling him, "Hello. Everything went smoothly, Mr. Lu. I didn't expect them to do such a good job. I believe you should hire them after they graduate. Such young talents should not be overlooked." He began giving the report without leaving out any details.

"Anything else." Lu Rayansh inquired, his voice annoyed. He doesn't want to hear any of this.

Secretary Du paused for a moment to ensure that he hadn't overlooked anything, and then a face appeared in his mind.

"Err… Mr. Lu.... That..." He began to hesitate.

"Speak clearly." Lu Rayansh began to lose patience.

"Mr. Lu, should we think about who will give the presentation on competition day?" Secretary Du inquired. He didn't want Su Anya to give the presentation on that particular day. He was afraid she would undo all of her team's hard work.

Lu Rayansh could tell something was wrong with his secretary's tone. "Can you be more specific about what you wanted to say?"

"Mr. Lu, I don't believe Su Anya is the best candidate to give the presentation on the competition day. I doubt she had any input into the project." Secretary Do finally said what he was thinking, not realizing that his words had enraged someone on the other end of the phone.

"You believe she has no talent and only takes advantage of her team members. Very good. Your bonus for this year has been canceled." He said coldly and hung up the phone.

Secretary Du remained firmly planted on the ground. He didn't even put the phone away that he had kept close to his ear.

"Su Anya, where did you just flee to?" Chen Zhihui was curious. He was taken aback to see her chasing after Secretary Du.

After a brief moment of thought, he smiled meaningfully at her. "Did you make another deal with Mr. Lu, are we getting more money?" he asked, wrapping his arm around her shoulder.

Su Anya slapped the hand away from her shoulder, noticing that his eyes sparkled with the prospect of more money.

"If you're looking for money. Then go figure out how to make money." She ignored him and proceeded to Sun Li and Shen Yue.

"Our project is nearly finished. So make sure you don't bring any project-related reports to school. It is a critical time. We can't afford any mistakes. Otherwise, we'll have to waste more time entertaining some idiots."

Shen Yue carefully observed Su Anya and sensed that she was upset. "Did anything happen, Anya?"

"Are you..." she walked closer to her and asked in a low voice, "Are you in your periods?"

Su Anya couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry. She was touched to see how much she cared for her, but the later part of the sentence ruined the touched emotion that was evoked in her heart.

"Don't overthink it. I'm fine." She said this while playful flick her head

Chen Zhihui rolled his eyes as he observed their performance. He grew tired of seeing the same performance they put on every day.
