Meng Chuyuan was a recognized abandoned wife in the wealthy circles. Her husband was rarely home, and her brother-in-law and mother-in-law were both notoriously bad-tempered.
Everyone laughed...
Chapter 98 Come back as soon as possible
However, they were able to judge from Meng Chuyuan's actions and the fact that she was still talking that the video call had not been hung up.
Meng Chuyuan took the computer down and placed it on the conference table, then she sat back in her previous seat.
She went to get the computer in advance just to make it easier to turn it off later, but she didn't expect that this action would be seen as an intimate conversation between the two of them in the eyes of others.
Meng Chuyuan looked at Lu Qingye and said softly, "Do you have anything else to say? If not, then I'll hang up."
"Aren't you going to ask me when I'll be back?" Lu Qingye tilted his head slightly, his protruding Adam's apple extremely eye-catching.
Last time he sent a WeChat message to Meng Chuyuan, asking her to wait for news of his return, but she did not respond directly, and he did not know if she had seen it.
He didn't know what happened today. Maybe after the meeting, all his sleepiness disappeared. He was quite free at the moment and happened to be thinking about this matter, so he took the initiative to ask.
Meng Chuyuan said calmly, "It doesn't matter when you come back."
Even if she wanted to know, given Lu Qingye's current situation, he certainly couldn't tell her the exact time.
As for Meng Chuyuan, she felt that it was unnecessary to bring up such a thing.
Lu Qingye probably didn't expect her to answer so straightforwardly, but he didn't care at all.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a while, Meng Chuyuan said again: "Don't worry, everything is fine at home."
There was basically nothing at home for him to worry about.
After all, Lu Jinsen and Lu Qianling have grown up now, and there are some things that he is too busy to take care of even if he wants to.
His only worry at the moment is that Meng Chuyuan will not be accustomed to this kind of life.
Originally, participating in the variety show and today's incident had nothing to do with her. The agreement clearly did not require her to do these tedious things, but now she has involved Meng Chuyuan and is taking care of all the big and small matters at home for him.
Lu Qingye was silent for a while and said, "I will be back as soon as possible."
"Well, go to bed early, bye." Meng Chuyuan waved to him and hung up the video.
Seeing Meng Chuyuan waving, the few people gathered outside to watch the excitement 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 of the things. If you have something else to do, you can go ahead and do it."
Meng Chuyuan: "I'll stay a little longer."
The company's affairs had basically been arranged before the leader went on a business trip. Meng Chuyuan had also finished reading some documents that needed to be reviewed in the morning, and she could arrange the rest of the time on her own.
She didn't have much to do when she got back, but here she could see new and interesting things, which was enough to keep her entertained.
"Why didn't Secretary Zheng go on the business trip with President Lu? Don't they usually take their secretaries with them on business trips?"
Secretary Zheng chuckled and said, "President Lu doesn't have an executive secretary. He only has an assistant. I work for the vice president and occasionally help President Lu with some things."
Meng Chuyuan: "I see."
She had met the assistant beside Lu Qingye several times and felt that he was not very smart, and some of his behaviors were not as steady as Secretary Zheng's.
As a result, when she asked this question, she didn't expect that Secretary Zheng was not Lu Qingye's subordinate.
——
Lu Jinsen didn't find a chance to talk to Meng Chuyuan about the guest appearance last night. After meeting his agent today, he felt guilty and lowered his presence.
After taking a set of magazine photos, his agent came forward to show concern and brought a white towel to cover him.
Lu Jinsen had just been soaking in the water for a long time just to take that set of photos. When he came out of the water, he felt a little cold.
The agent took out a hot latte from the bag in his hand and said, "Drink something hot to warm yourself up."
"Thank you." Lu Jinsen sat on the stone bench next to the swimming pool, drinking the hot latte his agent had just given him.
The agent first went to see the finished film that Lu Jinsen had just shot, and only returned to find Lu Jinsen after he felt that there was no problem.
"The photos are fine, we can go back later."
Lu Jinsen hummed softly and continued to drink his coffee.
The agent happened to have nothing to do, so he sat down next to Lu Jinsen and looked up at the sparkling swimming pool.
After a while, she suddenly remembered something and looked back at Lu Jinsen, asking curiously, "Did you tell your sister-in-law about the guest appearance last night?"
Lu Jinsen: “…”
He was worried all day. When he first arrived, seeing that his agent didn't mention it, he thought the matter could be let go, but in the end she remembered it.
"You didn't say anything, did you?" His agent knew the outcome from his reaction and looked at him with dismay, "You're confused, brother. I just asked you to pass on a message. What are you hesitating about?"
Lu Jinsen tactically took a sip of his coffee and said, "She definitely won't agree."
"You haven't told her yet, how do you know she won't agree?"
She could really be pissed off by this guy.
For the variety show that is being recorded now, she took the initiative to help Lu Jinsen contact Meng Chuyuan, which enabled her to secure the recording opportunity and prevent it from being cancelled by the program crew.
For the ancient Chinese IP that is about to be adapted, she specially read the original novel and discovered the role of the third male lead. She tried her best to help Lu Jinsen get it, but he chose to give up again.
Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, the agent took the initiative to talk to Meng Chuyuan and have a talk.
When they were recording the show, they discussed the process and happened to leave each other's contact information.
In the evening, when Meng Chuyuan came back from the company, he saw Lu's mother trimming flowers and plants in the yard with the gardener.
"Mom, you can also prune branches? That's amazing, right?" Meng Chuyuan came up and praised her.
In fact, she could see that Mother Lu was clumsy and had never done this kind of work.
It was the first time I saw her doing it herself. She stood next to the gardener wearing gloves and looked very professional.
When Mother Lu heard Meng Chuyuan's praise, she smiled happily and said a little embarrassedly, "I just started, and it seems quite fun."
Today she listened to Meng Chuyuan's words in the company, saying that doing something meaningful can help her find the value of life. When she came out of the yard to relax, she happened to see them pruning branches, so she started to work.
Meng Chuyuan walked over to take a look and casually praised it: "It's really well repaired."
Mother Lu had a happy smile on her face. This unfamiliar work gave her a sense of confidence.
She was a little happy when she was suddenly praised, but she didn't get too proud. She became confused when she encountered a slightly thicker branch.
"How do I fix this?" Mother Lu looked puzzled.
Seeing that she was at a loss as to how to start, Meng Chuyuan stepped forward and gently reminded her, "Mom, all you need to do is cut off the branches that have split apart."
