After visiting Wanyi Group so many times, Lu Jiaming even became familiar with finding a parking space.
After getting off the bus, he looked at the street vendor selling snacks from a cart, hesitated briefly, then strode over and bought a serving of octopus balls.
Then he pushed open the company door very naturally, walked to the front desk, and said politely: "Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Chu. Can I go up directly?"
"Excuse me, do you have..."
The girl at the front desk wanted to ask him if he had an appointment, but when she looked up and saw his face, she stopped talking immediately.
"You look familiar to me... Are you a friend of Mr. Chu?"
"Yes," Lu Jiaming nodded, "I used to come here all the time, but most of the time I didn't go upstairs, I just waited for him downstairs."
The girl at the front desk understood immediately: "Then you can just go up directly, Mr. Chu should be in the office."
"Okay, thank you."
Lu Jiaming responded and was about to walk in when he heard the girl at the front desk suddenly shout, "Handsome! Wait a moment!"
"Hmm?" Lu Jiaming paused and turned to look at her. "Are you calling me?"
"Yes, yes, I'm calling you," the receptionist said with a smile, "after all, apart from the three CEOs of our company, it's rare to see someone as good-looking as you."
"Thank you for the compliment." Lu Jiaming smiled. "Do you have something to tell me?"
"Well, there is something..." The girl at the front desk hesitated and said, "It may seem a bit nosy for me to say it, but I haven't seen Mr. Chu have any other friends come to see him, so I can only tell you."
Lu Jiaming turned around and faced her: "It's okay, tell me..."
"Boss Chu has been acting strangely lately," the receptionist whispered. "Ever since his uncle arrived, he's been acting like he's been under some kind of control. Before, when he wasn't busy, he'd wander around the company, chatting with employees and even helping out when they had problems. But now, he just comes into the office every day and rarely comes out unless he's off duty or in a meeting."
"It's a good thing that Mr. Chu is working hard to learn how to run the company. We all understand that, but his recent state is really worrying. Mr. Chu is a good boss, and we still hope that he can be as happy as before."
The girl at the front desk finished her words in one breath, then paused and said in a low voice, a little embarrassed, "Sorry, I couldn't help but say a little too much..."
"It's okay, I understand what you mean," Lu Jiaming said softly, "I'll go and persuade him, don't worry."
"Okay," the girl at the front desk responded immediately, "Thank you very much."
Since Lu Zixiao and the employees said so, there must be something wrong with Chu Wanyi.
Something is extremely wrong.
Lu Jiaming was in deep thought. In order not to disturb other employees' work, he deliberately took a detour before getting into the elevator and going directly to the top floor.
He walked lightly to the office door and knocked on it.
"Come in"
It’s okay, I didn’t become stupid, at least I can still speak.
Lu Jiaming complained in his heart and gently pushed the door open and walked in.
Chu Wanyi, who was sitting behind the desk, was writing something. When he heard the door open, he didn't look up, but just said lightly: "Just put the documents on the table."
Lu Jiaming didn't say anything. He strode over and placed the box of octopus balls in front of him.
Chu Wanyi was obviously stunned, and the hand holding the pen stopped. Then she looked up suddenly and met Lu Jiaming's gaze.
“Mingming?!”
"Yes, it's me." Lu Jiaming lowered his eyes and looked at him with wide eyes. He couldn't help but jokingly said, "Why? You didn't recognize me after not seeing me for half a month?"
Chu Wanyi asked in a daze: "You...why are you here?"
"I came to see what you were busy with," Lu Jiaming said lazily, crossing his arms. "You haven't been replying to messages, answering calls, or sharing videos with me lately. If it weren't for my eldest brother and Brother Ze working with you, I would have thought something had happened to you."
"No, nothing happened," Chu Wanyi muttered guiltily, quickly picking up his phone and taking a look. "I replied to you..."
"Yeah, yes, reincarnation," Lu Jiaming said unhappily, "I get a reply the next day after sending a message today, and then nothing happens again."
Chu Wanyi touched his nose awkwardly and said softly, "I'm sorry, Mingming. I've been busy with company matters lately and neglected you... Don't be angry."
"I'm not angry," Lu Jiaming sighed, "It doesn't matter if you ignore me or not, but you should at least take care of your own health."
"Do you know how your face looks right now?"
"I don't know." Chu Wanyi shook his head and murmured, "Is it ugly?"
Lu Jiaming stared at him intently and spoke slowly, "Your face is pale, your eyes are dull, your lips are purple, and your eye circles are as dark as a panda's."
"Chu Wanyi, are you working or courting death?"
Chu Wanyi choked, lowered his head and looked vaguely, like a child who had done something wrong.
The two of them stood in silence for a long time. After a while, Lu Jiaming's tone calmed down a little and asked, "Have you had lunch?"
Chu Wanyi hesitated for several seconds before stammering, "I didn't pay attention to the time, so... I forgot to eat."
"You even forget to eat, how come you haven't forgotten your own name?"
Lu Jiaming was so angry that he took two steps back and sat on the sofa. Then he patted the seat next to him and growled, "Come here with the octopus balls!"
At his command, Chu Wanyi stood up, grabbed the little ball and ran to his side with incredible speed.
