Chapter 99 - 99: Come Back As Soon as possible
Meng Chuyuan took down the laptop and placed it on the conference table. She returned to her seat.
She had walked over to get the computer in advance just so that it would be more convenient to turn it off later. She did not expect that in the eyes of others, this action would actually become an intimate conversation between the two of them.
Meng Chuyuan looked at Lu Qingye and said softly, “Is there anything else you want to say? If not, do you want to hang up?
“Aren’t you going to ask when I’m going back?” Lu Qingye tilted his head slightly. His protruding Adam’s apple was exceptionally eye-catching.
Last time, he had sent Meng Chuyuan a WeChat message and asked her to wait for his reply, but she did not reply directly. He did not know if she had seen it.
He did not know what was going on today. Perhaps after the meeting, his sleepiness had completely dissipated. He was quite free now and was thinking about this, so he took the initiative to ask her.
Meng Chuyuan said without changing his expression, “It doesn’t matter when you come back.”
Even if she wanted to know, given Lu Qingye’s current situation, he would definitely not be able to give an accurate time.
As for Meng Chuyuan, she felt that there was no need to bring up such an unnecessary matter.
Lu Qingye probably didn’t expect her to answer so directly, so he didn’t mind at all.
Seeing that he did not speak for a while, Meng Chuyuan added, “Don’t worry, everything is fine at home.”
There was basically nothing to worry about at home.
After all, Lu Jinsen and Lu Qianling had grown up. There were some things that he could not handle even if he wanted to.
Currently, his only worry was that Meng Chuyuan was not used to such a life.
Originally, participating in the variety show and today’s matter had nothing to do with her. The agreement clearly did not require her to do these tedious things, but now, Meng Chuyuan was involved and took care of the family matters for him.
Lu Qingye was silent for a moment before he said, “I’ll be back as soon as possible.”
“Okay, go to bed early. Bye.” Meng Chuyuan waved at him and hung up the video.
Seeing the scene of Meng Chuyuan waving her hand, the few people who were gathered outside to watch the show suddenly felt a little disappointed. “Is it over?”
“Sister Meng has already closed the computer.”
When Meng Chuyuan came out, she saw Secretary Zheng standing outside the door, waiting for her.
“Thank you for your hard work.” Meng Chuyuan returned the computer to Secretary Zheng.
“Madam, I can take care of the rest. If you have something to do, you can go ahead.”
Meng Chuyuan said, “I’ll stay for a while longer.”
The matters in the company had basically been settled before their leader went on a business trip. Meng Chuyuan had finished reading some documents that needed to be read in the morning. She could spend the rest of the time freely herself.
She had nothing to do at home and there were enough new things here to see to relieve her boredom.
“Why didn’t Secretary Zheng go on a business trip with CEO Lu? Don’t they usually bring their secretaries on business trips?”
When Secretary Zheng heard this, he chuckled and said, “CEO Lu doesn’t have an executive secretary under him. He only has an assistant. I’m by the vice president’s side and occasionally help CEO Lu deal with some matters.”
Meng Chuyuan said, “I see.”
She had seen Lu Qingye’s assistant a few times and felt that he was not very smart. Some of his actions were not as steady as Secretary Zheng’s.
In the end, when she asked, she did not expect Secretary Zheng to not be Lu Qingye’s subordinate.
Lu Jinsen did not have the chance to tell Meng Chuyuan about the cameo last night. Today, when he saw his manager, he lowered his presence guiltily.
After taking a set of magazine photos, his manager went forward to show concern. She brought a white towel over and draped it over him.
Lu Jinsen had been submerged in the water for a long time just to take that set of photos. When he came out of the water, he also felt a little cold.
The manager took out a hot latte from the bag in her hand. “Drink something hot to warm you up.”
“Thank you.” Lu Jinsen sat on the stone bench beside the pool and drank the hot latte his manager had just given him.
The manager first went to take a look at the footage that Lu Jinsen had just filmed. After confirming that there were no problems, she returned to look for Lu Jinsen.
“There’s no problem with the photos. We can go back later.”
Lu Jinsen hummed softly and continued to take a sip of coffee.
Coincidentally, the manager had nothing to do. She sat down beside Lu Jinsen and looked up at the sparkling pool.
After a while, she suddenly remembered something. She turned to look at Lu Jinsen and asked curiously, “Did you tell your sister-in-law about the cameo last night?”
Lu Jinsen:
He had been on edge for the entire day. When he first arrived, he saw that his manager did not mention anything. He thought that this matter would pass, but in the end, she still remembered it.
“You didn’t say anything, did you?” The manager knew the result from his reaction. She looked at him resentfully. “You’re muddle-headed, brother. I’m just asking you to pass on a message. What are you hesitating about?” Lu Jinsen took a sip of coffee and said, “She definitely won’t agree.”
“You didn’t even tell her. How do you know she won’t agree?”
She was really angered to death by this guy.
She had helped Lu Jinsen contact Meng Chuyuan on her own accord in order to get him the opportunity to film this variety show, otherwise the production team might have had to cancel it on the spot.
This time, she had specially read the original novel and dug out the role of the third male lead. She had tried her best to help Lu Jinsen win the role, but he had chosen to ruin it again.
Seeing that he was unwilling to tell her, the manager took the initiative to tell Meng Chuyuan everything.
When they were talking about recording the variety show, the two of them took over the process and happened to exchange each other’s contact details.
In the evening, when Meng Chuyuan returned from the company, she saw Madam Lu trimming the flowers and plants in the courtyard with the gardener.
“Mom, you know how to repair branches? Isn’t that amazing?” Meng Chuyuan praised her.
Actually, she could tell that Madam Lu was clumsy and had never done such work before.
This was the first time she had seen her do it herself. She was wearing gloves and standing beside the gardener in a proper manner.
When Madam Lu heard Meng Chuyuan’s praise, she smiled happily and said in embarrassment, “I just got used to it. It feels quite fun.”
Today, she had heard Meng Chuyuan’s words at the company. Doing something meaningful could help her find value in life. When she came out to the small courtyard to relax, she happened to see the gardeners repairing their branches, so she decided to take action.
Meng Chuyuan walked over and took a look. She praised casually, “It’s really well- trimmed.”
When Madam Lu heard this, she smiled happily. This unfamiliar job made her feel confident.
She was a little happy to be praised, but she was not too arrogant. She was confused when she encountered a slightly thicker branch.
“How do I trim this?” Madam Lu was puzzled.
Meng Chuyuan saw that she did not know where to start. She walked forward and reminded her softly, “Mom, you just need to cut off this branch that’s slightly poking out..”
