Chapter 226 The Strange Old Man Who Freeloads
He Xinyue was somewhat surprised when she learned that Lu Wanxing was coming.
He quickly got up from his seat and went to greet her.
"Why did you come here? Didn't you say you were staying home to rest during your pregnancy?"
"Now that the baby is basically stable and I've adjusted to the time difference, there are no problems. I'm thinking of getting busy now."
Lu Wanxing said with a smile.
He Xinyue also looked helpless.
"You're still such a workaholic. Your child is over five months old now, isn't he?"
"Yes, it's because the child isn't fussy and is quite well-behaved that I have the energy to come to the company and see how things are going lately."
He Xinyue was clearly prepared, and she took out the prepared documents and handed them to Lu Wanxing for review.
The two immediately got into work mode.
"Our spring fashion show is all ready. The models are the same ones as before, and the schedules have all been booked. You can come and take a look at the finished samples whenever you have some free time."
He Xinyue gave a report on some recent work, and Lu Wanxing listened to it while looking at the report.
These are all income figures from the past few months, nothing major.
However, sales have increased significantly since the launch of the new perfume.
"I'll give you a few more formulas later. You can have someone mix the fragrances first. I won't go to the lab. Once they're done, just have someone send them to me to smell."
Lu Wanxing said.
Since you're pregnant now, it's best not to be in contact with this kind of fragrance for too long. After all, there are many fragrances in the laboratory, some of which are quite irritating.
"I understand, leave this to me."
The two discussed the follow-up matters. The company is now on the right track, and He Xinyue is a capable person, so there is nothing to worry about in handing the company over to her.
Lu Wanxing only needs to keep the overall direction in order to avoid making mistakes.
"By the way, quite a few people have inquired about this area and said they want to see you. Do you think you want to show up?"
"No, the company's affairs remain the same as before. You can handle the external relations, I won't show my face."
Lu Wanxing wasn't without concerns; she was worried that her social circle was too small and she might run into someone she knew at any time.
"By the way, Robert's invitation arrived here today. He asked us to give it to you, but we haven't had a chance to give it to you yet. I didn't expect you to come here. Could you see if it's some important invitation?"
He then handed over a gold-embossed invitation.
The invitation was as luxurious as ever. Lu Wanxing opened it directly and saw the invitation.
Thinking back to how he had previously asked someone to investigate Sheng Siwan for him, he found it difficult to refuse now.
The invitation was for a concert, and it was said that many people in the industry had taken notice of her recent performance.
We have now specially invited her to hold another event.
The invitation letter contained the address of a concert hall, indicating that the venue was available and ready for immediate occupancy.
I was just looking at the invitation when the phone rang.
After the situation was explained, Lu Wanxing did not refuse.
I've already discussed the performance time with Robert over there.
The only thing I'm grateful for right now is that I have a few pseudonyms.
If Lu Wanxing can't be used, we can use a few others...
When the time comes, once you put on the mask, no one will recognize you.
Thinking about it this way, I felt quite fortunate.
After agreeing on a time to discuss it further, Lu Wanxing hung up the phone.
He Xinyue knew about her other identity, so when she heard that she was going to participate in a concert, she immediately asked, "Are you really sure?"
"Well, there's nothing much going on right now, so let's go have some fun. I trust you completely with the company's affairs."
Lu Wanxing said with a smile.
"Okay, as long as you're happy. Right now, nothing is more important than making your mother happy."
He Xinyue looked at the baby in her belly and fell into memories.
Knowing that He Xinyue was probably overthinking things, Lu Wanxing changed the subject.
"Of course, from now on, this one in my belly will be the eldest, and it will be pampered by all of you godparents."
The two didn't discuss this topic much, and soon the conversation returned to the company's plans for the next quarter.
Both of them are actually the type of strong, independent women.
So once they start talking, they basically can't stop.
It wasn't until my assistant reminded me at noon that I realized it was already noon.
Lu Wanxing had a meal at the company in between, and it wasn't until evening that she drove back.
After agreeing on the performance time with Robert, Lu Wanxing would play the instrument at home whenever she had free time.
To her surprise, the old man would bring things over every few days.
At first, Lu Wanxing didn't realize his motives, but as time went on, she noticed that he always came at breakfast time, and every time she invited him to breakfast, the old man was always the first to sit down.
Even a fool like Lu Wanxing could tell that this person was just there to freeload a meal.
However, it can't be called freeloading, since they even bring gifts. They bring her gifts today and the kids tomorrow. They aren't expensive gifts, but they are all delicious.
They can then more easily and comfortably freeload off others.
As Lu Wanxing became more familiar with them, the two spoke to each other with even less restraint.
So she just asked directly.
"No, you often come to my house for meals. How bad is your food?"
"Oh, don't even mention it, I really can't get used to the food here."
Lu Chengbo immediately put on a look that was hard to describe.
Lu Wanxing was speechless. "If you can't stand the food here, why don't you go back to China?"
She genuinely found it strange; what kind of monster was lurking in this country? Why did she seem so reluctant to return?
However, after asking the question, she seemed to feel that the matter was too private and that she had overstepped her bounds.
He immediately said, "Sorry, I was just asking casually. You don't have to answer this question."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chengbo waved his hand.
"It's alright, there's nothing wrong with talking about it. It's just that I had a disagreement with my father-in-law. Out of sight, out of mind is better for both of us."
If they're going to argue the moment they meet, then why put them together in the first place?
Isn't that just deliberately looking for trouble?
Lu Wanxing looked at him, then asked hesitantly, "Is the old man you're talking about your father? Judging from your age, your father should be in his sixties or seventies, right? You two are over a hundred years old combined, and you're still arguing?"
Her hesitant words made Lu Chengbo burst into laughter.
