Chapter 24 Recognizing a Goddaughter



The man who had just fled the scene was now sitting lazily in the principal's office, tapping the table lightly with his well-defined fingers, his eyes revealing a detached indifference.

A knock sounded on the door, and the old principal respectfully reported on the recently assigned private offices for the faculty and staff.

Lu Jingyan raised an eyebrow, indicating his satisfaction with the park's handling of the matter.

Zhou Yuan, carrying a pile of contracts, walked up to his boss with a resentful expression.

"Boss, the chairman didn't come to the company again today. I've contacted him several times, and he said... that you left the company to him, so he doesn't have time to spend with the chairman's wife."

"He said he doesn't care anymore, and he wants you to experience what it's like to be without a wife..." Zhou Yuan's voice trailed off, until finally his words were drowned out by the boss's cold gaze.

"Boss, look, I've brought all the contracts for you. You don't need to come to the company yourself. Just sign them for me." He then eagerly opened the pen cap and handed it to Lu Jingyan.

Lu Jingyan glanced at Zhou Yuan again, "Old man Lu, aren't you afraid your son won't have a daughter-in-law?"

Zhou Yuan swallowed hard, stammering, "Chairman Lu said that if they like Miss Shi, they can adopt her as their goddaughter, and then they'll have two daughters to take care of them. As for you... it doesn't matter if you have a wife or not. The Lu family business can be inherited by Young Master Bei, and you can relax all by yourself..."

Lu Jingyan narrowed his eyes, his tone still indifferent, "Call Madam," his languid demeanor now filled with a chilling aura.

The old kindergarten director, standing to the side, kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead after reporting his work, fearing that President Lu would ask him to do a bunch of strange things again.

President Lu never inquires about the schools under the Lu Group's subsidiaries. These past few days, the boss has been running to the schools every day, and I'm constantly on edge.

For example, just as he was about to leave for class today, President Lu strode into his office. The first thing he said upon entering was his opinion on the school's incentive and reward system for faculty and staff, and how to improve teachers' welfare benefits…

How could he possibly see it? All of Lu's schools are managed by the higher-level education group, and they have to follow the rules they set. The employee reward system is not something a principal like him can decide.

Desperate to save his life, Zhou Yuan steeled himself and dialed the chairman's wife's number. A dignified and gentle voice immediately came from the other end, "Hello~"

"Madam, the CEO is looking for you."

Lu Jingyan took the phone from Zhou Yuan, leaned back slightly in his seat, and said slowly, "Mom, Wanwan's leg injury has flared up again recently. A couple of days ago, someone surnamed Feng came to harass her, and she was so scared that she couldn't sleep until 3 a.m. last night. She still had to come to class this morning."

“I was thinking of spending more time with Wanwan, but there are too many things to deal with at the company. I don’t know if Wanwan can handle it on her own… It’s also inconvenient for you to come over and take care of people from all over the country.” Lu Jingyan lowered his eyes, feigning helplessness.

"Never mind, I'll leave Wanwan here by herself for now. She should recover in a couple of days," Lu Jingyan said with feigned helplessness, sighing softly.

"Lu Jingyan, you not only failed to win Wanwan's heart, but you also let Feng Yunzhou harass her. Now that she hasn't recovered, you're thinking of going back to the company. Why don't you just marry the company!" The two didn't hide the matter of Shi Wan and Feng Yunzhou from Lu's mother, who also knew about Shi Wan's past.

"Do you think your father is dead?! What would happen to the company if you weren't here for even a day?!"

“But Dad hasn’t been feeling well lately and hasn’t been to the company for many days. The company can’t be without a leader for even a day.” Lu Jingyan said with a slight frown.

Mrs. Lu turned her head and stared coldly at Mr. Lu, who was leisurely reading the newspaper on the sofa. She reached out and pinched his thigh. Mr. Lu looked on in bewilderment in pain.

"Wanwan has been through too much. She can't be left alone during this time. You should stay with her." After saying that, Lu's mother slammed the phone down.

Zhou Yuan stared in disbelief at his boss's witty remarks. Brilliant, truly brilliant.

"Go to the old house and bring Chairman Lu back to the company." His expression remained calm and composed.

After Zhou Yuan walked away, Lu Jingyan stood up, gently patted his clothes, raised an eyebrow at the dean, and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go see the staff office."

At this moment, Shi Wan was unaware of everything that had happened in the principal's office.

After she finished comforting the children, she came out of the classroom and saw several colleagues gathered in a circle, seemingly discussing some news.

As Shi Wan approached, several colleagues who were on good terms with her pulled her over to join the conversation.

"The school's benefits are getting better and better. Even the office is one person per room. This time I don't have to be hunched over my desk anymore."

"One office per person?" Shi Wan looked at her excited colleagues in surprise.

She knew that apart from the administrative office where two teachers shared an office, the rest of the teachers in the school were usually a dozen or seven or eight people per office. She had never had the privilege of having an office to herself in a kindergarten in the capital.

Shi Wan lowered her head, slightly dazed. The young teacher next to her said excitedly, "Teacher Xiao Wan, is it because President Lu was worried that you weren't getting enough rest, and we're benefiting from it too?"

Everyone looked up at Shi Wan, knowing this move would cause a huge stir. "Teacher Shi is so lucky, President Lu spoils her all the way."

"Waaah... When did I ever have a boyfriend like this?"

"Just think about it. Teacher Shi is fair-skinned, beautiful, and talented. President Lu will definitely protect her every day."

The teachers discussed the office allocation one after another, without showing any jealousy or dissatisfaction towards Shi Wan. On the contrary, the prospect of enjoying such a good life made them determined to work at Sophie's until retirement.

Not only do you get to see the stunning beauty of the boss and his wife every day, but you also get to enjoy various rewards and benefits with the boss's wife. Who wouldn't want a boss's wife like that?

Shi Wan looked puzzled, took out her phone, and just as she typed and sent a message, Lu Jingyan called.

"Wanwan, I'm downstairs. I've had lunch delivered from Yeyan. It's all your favorite dishes."

“Lu Jingyan, giving each teacher an office is too much of a fuss. Won’t the group have something to say about it? I don’t want you to be put in a difficult position by them.”

Shi Wan is not someone who doesn't know when to advance or retreat. Although Lu Jingyan and the Lu family treat her very well, there should always be a limit to enjoying other people's kindness. Constantly consuming the other person's efforts in a high-profile manner will inevitably be looked down upon by others.

"It's alright, this is also your future mother-in-law's wish. If we don't do as she says, she'll definitely come after us again."

"Besides, each teacher has been assigned a room, so no one will have any objections." Knowing Shi Wan's concerns, Lu Jingyan could only bring up his own mother to reassure Shi Wan and let her enjoy his pampering.

As soon as Shi Wan came downstairs, she saw Lu Jingyan standing under a tree. The dappled sunlight fell on the man, and he looked very handsome.

At this moment, the man under the tree also saw Shi Wan slowly walking towards him. Lu Jingyan reached out and held her small hand, squeezing her palm. The little girl's hand wasn't cold today.

Shi Wan admired the man's good looks. When Lu Jingyan reached out his hand, she naturally took it. A faint smile on her lips revealed her happiness at that moment.

Several colleagues passed by her from time to time, greeted Shi Wan, and then quickly ran away.

Shi Wan is very popular at school, so teachers often greet her when they see her.

However, the powerful men around her today dared not let them get any closer to Shi Wan.

The man remained indifferent throughout, his cold gaze occasionally sweeping over the colleagues who were greeting Shi Wan. Passersby dared not look at the two of them for long.

Only when Shi Wan looked up to speak to him would he lower his eyes and listen to her with a smile, occasionally revealing a gentle and warm smile.

A colleague who was usually on good terms with Shi Wan started to swoon over President Lu and his young wife from afar.

The old headmaster stood to the side, trembling as he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It seemed that President Lu wouldn't be leaving anytime soon.
