??Chapter 347: I can’t afford it!
Lu Qingye stood up from his chair and before leaving, he instructed Assistant Yang, "Please send me a copy of the itinerary later."
Assistant Yang responded positively: "No problem."
After watching Lu Qingye leave the meeting room, Assistant Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Jiang Yi still in the conference room, Assistant Yang couldn't help but chat with him: "Vice President Jiang, you said it's almost the end of the year... President Lu shouldn't deduct my year-end bonus at this time, right?"
"Don't worry, he won't." Seeing how much Assistant Yang cared about his year-end bonus, Jiang Yi said with a hint of sarcasm: "If he really wanted to deduct it, your year-end bonus would have been gone long ago."
"Don't you think Mr. Lu is a little off today?" Assistant Yang gave an abstract example: "Like he's lost his soul."
Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and said meaningfully, "I guess he really lost his soul."
"Huh?" Assistant Yang looked confused, but he spoke with a touch of humor: "Where did Mr. Lu's soul go? I'll go see if I can find it back."
"Where else could it be? It must be with his wife. Why don't you go get one and let me see it?"
Assistant Yang shook his head after hearing this, "I can't afford this!"
Even nine oxen can’t pull it back!
Jiang Yi: “…”
At the dinner last night, Meng Chuyuan was in control of the whole situation.
Even if everyone present is an elder, Meng Chuyuan dares to point out any objectionable behavior in person. Few people can do this.
First, he took the initiative to refuse the three cups of punishment for Lu Qingye. When faced with opposition and questioning, Meng Chuyuan was able to come up with a novel reason to convince them, which not only allowed him to get out of the situation perfectly, but also invisibly prepared a way out for the other party.
When facing elders who smoke regardless of the occasion, Meng Chuyuan also knows how to test the other party with reminders first, and then express their need to be respected.
So even if this matter gets out one day, and Meng Chuyuan intentionally ruined the party that night, she would definitely not be the one in the wrong.
They have seen all kinds of people in business, but the only woman who can speak truthfully, beautifully, genuinely, intelligently and charmingly is Meng Chuyuan.
On the contrary, Lu Qingye has always been the one to handle things on his own. Now someone is standing in front of him and supporting him. Anyone would probably be moved.

morning
The guests formed teams and went to nearby communities to actively look for and apply to join the community volunteer service center.
Since Zhang Yunshu and Qi Zhen are both college students and are approaching the end of the semester, they need to rush back to school to take exams, so their goal today is to save enough contribution points to pay the rent.
The Winter Solstice is just two days away, and the community has launched a "Warm Winter Solstice" activity, organizing everyone to make some noodles for the elderly and local residents in the area, and send winter blessings and care.
Xu Huanning: "So we're going to make dumplings later, right?"
Zhang Yunshu: "No, in the south, you absolutely have to eat glutinous rice balls during the winter solstice. How can you miss the soft and sticky glutinous rice balls?"
"Making dumplings is easy, and you can make them with a variety of fillings. Tangyuan is greasy and sweet, so I guess older people don't like it, right?"
"Sister Meng." Zhang Yunshu realized she couldn't win the argument with Xu Huanning, so she pulled Meng Chuyuan in, wanting her to help judge the situation: "It's right to eat glutinous rice balls on the winter solstice, right?"
Meng Chuyuan smiled and said, "I heard what you said just now. Everyone has their own preferences. It's not impossible to make glutinous rice balls and dumplings together, right?"
[Don’t worry about whether you eat tangyuan or dumplings on the winter solstice, my sister Meng treats everyone equally, hahahaha]
[Congratulations to Sister Meng for earning the title of "Master of Keeping Balance"!]
[Although I'm from the south, I don't like tangyuan either because they're really sweet and greasy... This time I have to support dumplings!]
[I can accept glutinous rice balls with peanut filling~]
The volunteer in charge of this event heard that they had a disagreement on whether to make dumplings or glutinous rice balls, and Meng Chuyuan happened to come up with a good suggestion.
Therefore, the person in charge came up with an idea: "How about this, we divide into two teams, one for dumplings and the other for glutinous rice balls, and have them compete. After they are ready, we will send them to the residents to eat and let them vote."
Xu Huanning nodded in agreement. "I like this competition. I'm confident that Jiaozi will win."
Person in charge: "Then you can split into groups first, and we will go shopping together later."
This grouping was caused by Zhang Yunshu and Xu Huanning, and Zhang Yunshu naturally belonged to the Tangyuan team. "But I have a question... What if I don't know how to make Tangyuan?"
"It's up to you, Sister Meng. Why don't you join my team?" Xu Huanning took the lead in inviting Meng Chuyuan.
Meng Chuyuan thought for a moment and said, "I'd better make glutinous rice balls."
The other guests all wanted to join the Dumpling Team, but they couldn't behave too badly in front of the camera. After seeing that the Dumpling Team was full, the remaining guests had no choice but to stay in the Tangyuan Team.
