Chapter 167: Dignity
Lu Qingye took the document, opened it and took a quick look, then picked up the pen on the table and wrote his name.
Seeing Lu Qingye put down his pen, Assistant Yang consciously walked forward to take the document away. His peripheral vision was inadvertently attracted by the lit screen of the mobile phone next to him, and his movements slowed down quietly. He tilted his head slightly and couldn't help but glance at Lu Qingye's mobile phone screen.
Perhaps because he felt guilty and didn't see clearly at first, and because of some reflections, Assistant Yang could only see the outline, fair skin and thick long curly hair.
woman?
Mr. Lu is actually looking at beautiful women during working hours?
This made Assistant Yang even more curious.
While Lu Qingye was closing the pen cap, Assistant Yang bent down to block out the excess glare and read openly.
Just at this moment, after Lu Qingye put down his pen, he caught a glimpse of Assistant Yang standing there, and followed his gaze to the phone.
Lu Qingye narrowed his hawk-like eyes and asked coldly, "Does it look good?"
Assistant Yang said sincerely, "It looks good."
The next second, Lu Qingye's large, bony hand covered the screen and picked up the phone.
"Half of the year-end bonus will be deducted."
After hearing this, Assistant Yang's expression instantly fell, and he said aggrievedly, "No... Mr. Lu, why?"
"What do you think?"
"Boss Lu, is there nothing we can discuss about this?" Assistant Yang felt uneasy. He didn't do anything except take a peek at his boss's phone. Deducting half of his year-end bonus was too harsh.
"What? You're not happy with me leaving you half?"
Looking at Lu Qingye's fierce eyes, he could only grit his teeth and responded with a mixture of laughter and tears: "I'm happy to, Mr. Lu, you are so kind."
If it weren't for the nice sentence he just said, he might have been deducted.
Lu Qingye tilted his head, looked towards the door, and gestured, "If you're happy with it, why are you still hanging around? Get out."
Assistant Yang uttered a soft "oh" and turned to leave the office with the documents in his arms. However, he had barely taken two steps when Lu Qingye called him back: "Wait."
"What instructions does Mr. Lu have?" Based on past experience, Assistant Yang felt that he would definitely give him a chance to reform.
Lu Qingye suddenly remembered that his mother said she had sent him a courier that day. It had been half a week and there was still no news. Cross-border logistics usually took a long time. At the normal speed, it would take three or four days for it to arrive.
"Contact the logistics company and have my packages shipped separately from now on."
It was such a long journey, he was worried about losing the item.
"OK."
"Also, check where the express delivery from Xucheng a few days ago is and send someone to pick it up."
"Huh?" Assistant Yang was a little confused. "Do we have to send someone to pick up the courier?"
What kind of baby is this?!
Assistant Yang said that in all his years in the industry, this was the first time he heard that the president's package needed to be picked up by a dedicated person on the transport route.
Lu Qingye leaned back in his chair, holding the handles with both hands. His posture was a bit lazy, and his tone was a bit dull: "Too slow, I need to see the package by this time tomorrow morning, understand?"
Facing the invisible sense of oppression emanating from Lu Qingye, he nodded with a flattering expression: "I understand! Then, Mr. Lu... after this is done, can you give me back the half of the year-end bonus that was deducted?"
Lu Qingye raised his eyes and hummed softly.
"Alright! Even if the package is missing, I can find it for you even if I have to dig deep into the ground."
“…” His whereabouts are unknown. It seems that I have to think about the issue of the year-end bonus again.

After Mrs. Li's birthday party, Liao Jiake won everyone's favor for her outstanding performance, and her mother-in-law was also very happy.
On the way back, Liao Jiake and her mother-in-law were in the same car. Seeing that her mother-in-law was very satisfied with her performance tonight, she tried to test her: "Mom, I didn't embarrass you just now, did I?"
Grandma smiled and said, "You did a good job. You didn't even see how envious they were just now."
With the affirmation and praise from her mother-in-law, Liao Jiake's tense heartstrings finally relaxed.
While her mother-in-law was still savoring the scene, Liao Jiake struck while the iron was hot: "Mom, do you agree to my comeback? I can also make you proud outside."
She currently only has that one variety show and has not received any other work for the time being.
Liao Jiake doesn't want to return to her family after the variety show is finished. She wants to return to the entertainment industry, take on acting roles, and accept various endorsements.
When her mother-in-law heard about her comeback, her expression suddenly changed: "Comeback? Comeback? It's not like our Xu family can't afford to support you. If this gets out, people will laugh at you."
"Then Zeyi is filming outside, and I'm just sitting around at home doing nothing, so just let me go film."
"How can it be the same for Zeyi? He's a man, and other people take it for granted that he makes money. Now that you're married, you should put your family first. If you really want to do something for your family, then have a baby sooner rather than later."
Liao Jiake: “…”
She had been preparing for a comeback since long before she started preparing for pregnancy.
If she really has a child, her comeback plan will be even more difficult to achieve.
Seeing Liao Jiake's sour face, her mother-in-law continued, "Look at the eldest son of the Lu family. What's the point of being so outstanding? He doesn't care about his family at all. He married a wife just for show. She might even have some flaws in that area! You, you're so lucky to be able to marry Zeyi. Don't be so ungrateful."
When Liao Jiake thought about seeing Meng Chuyuan dressed up tonight and getting along well with her mother-in-law, their relationship was like sisters, she said sourly: "Then it's at least respectable for Meng Chuyuan to marry him. I think Aunt Juan treats her very well..."
"You call that respectable? Am I not good enough to you?"
…
The next morning, Lu Qingye arrived at the company on time.
Assistant Yang sent someone to follow the logistics for a day and finally brought the express delivery from the country back to Lu Qingye.
"Boss Lu, this is your package." Assistant Yang's first task upon arriving was to retrieve the package Lu Qingye had been waiting for and deliver it to his office. He even said, somewhat smugly, "I got it to you on time. Am I doing a good job?"
Lu Qingye raised his eyes and looked at him expressionlessly, then reached out to him and took the thing.
While Lu Qingye was unpacking the package, Assistant Yang reported to him: "Mr. Lu, there's an interview with the Times the day after tomorrow. Do you need me to turn it down?"
"Keep it for now." It just so happened that he didn't have any special plans for the day after tomorrow.
"Okay." Having just gotten his year-end bonus back, Assistant Yang didn't dare to make the same mistake again. He tactfully left the office.
Lu Qingye unpacked layer after layer of packaging and finally saw the two-tone scarf. It felt very soft to the touch, and he could feel the warmth and comfort just by rubbing it on his wrist.
His warm fingertips smoothed the knitted lines. The connection between the two-color wool yarns was clear and smooth, dense and strong, and the colors also had a gradient effect. There was no trace of crooked stitches at all.
