Lu's Group Office.
Lu Jingyan sat at his desk, his fingers carefully swiping across the tablet computer.
Zhou Yuan stood respectfully to the side, waiting for Lu Jingyan to approve the documents. Seeing his boss finally return to the company, he was overjoyed. Finally, he didn't have to go to the old mansion to pick up Chairman Lu every day, and he didn't have to endure Chairman Lu's barrage of questions.
The thought of Chairman Lu berating him all the way from the old house to the company sent a chill down his spine.
"Zhou Yuan, call Morton back."
"Yes, boss." Zhou Yuan muttered to himself, these were all reports from overseas shipping companies, and had nothing to do with those design companies.
“Boss, Mr. Morton is from the design company, and these documents are from the shipping side… Do you think we should find someone else in charge?” Zhou Yuan looked at Lu Jingyan cautiously.
"Hmm? It's Wanwan's birthday. Have Morton design a new ring for Wanwan from the green diamond we bought last time."
Lu Jingyan looked at several ring settings but none of them were suitable for Wanwan. He impatiently tossed the tablet back onto the table and said lazily, "Have him come back as soon as possible. Hand over the E-Zone business to other managers."
"Yes...yes!" Zhou Yuan gasped, just as he was about to leave.
"And another thing," Lu Jingyan's voice came from behind, "you should take an emotional intelligence training course when you have time."
"Yes, boss." Zhou Yuan's forehead was covered in cold sweat. As he left the office, he muttered to himself, "I practically live at the company 24 hours a day. Where do I find the time?"
When the boss takes a break, the assistant suffers.
Of course, he wouldn't dare complain in front of his boss, after all, who would want to miss out on their year-end bonus?
...
Around noon, Lu's mother rushed into Lu Jingyan's office.
Before she could even sit down, she raised her voice and asked, "Is Xiao Wanwan Chu Yun's daughter? Chu family's niece?"
"Oh? Who said that?" He looked at Lu's mother with great interest.
"Tell me, isn't that right?" Lu's mother was very dissatisfied with Lu Jingyan's nonchalant attitude.
Yes. Who told you?
"I always said that Xiao Wan is a kind of child. I felt a sense of closeness to her from the first moment I saw her." Lu's mother's eyebrows relaxed, and she ignored Lu Jingyan, talking to herself.
If it weren't for meeting Chu Zhi and her sister-in-law today, who knows how long this unfilial son would have kept the fact that Xiao Wan is Chu Yun's daughter a secret.
“How could my wife not be kind and beautiful?” Lu Jingyan raised an eyebrow.
"Your wife? Humph!" If I were you, I wouldn't even dare to say that.
Lu's mother ultimately didn't say the second half of her sentence, but Lu Jingyan could already feel the disdainful look she was giving him.
“Lu Jingyan, Chu Yun is our little sister who we played with since childhood. She disappeared for so many years, and now her daughter is back.”
"Don't blame me for not giving you a heads-up. If the Chu family takes her back, she can choose from countless talented young men in the capital. Not to mention those far away, just look at Ji Chu, a young man who is refined, polite, and knows how to take care of others."
"You'll suffer for it sooner or later." The more Lu's mother thought about it, the more she felt that her son had been dating the girl for so long without any proposal or confession, and now he was clinging to her like a dog.
Lu Jingyan leaned back lazily in his chair, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Mom, looking across the entire capital, can you find someone more suitable than me?"
"You! You're just asking for trouble. I heard that Wanwan went back to China to find her mother's family. If she finds out you've been keeping it from her, let's see how long you can keep gloating."
Lu's mother glared at Lu Jingyan with annoyance.
After Lu's mother finished speaking, a moment of silence fell over the room. Lu Jingyan looked out the window thoughtfully.
“I will tell her, but I’m afraid… she’ll go back to Y country.” Lu Jingyan frowned slightly, a bitter look flashing across his eyes.
He knew that Wanwan had said she would return to Y country once she found her mother's family, and he also knew that this matter could not be kept secret sooner or later.
On the one hand, it was out of consideration for the old lady of the Chu family, and on the other hand, it was also out of his own selfish motives.
He didn't want to hide anything from Wanwan, but he was also afraid that Wanwan would leave him.
He waited for her all these years.
Lu's mother stood up and walked to Lu Jingyan's side, her tone carrying a profound meaning, "If the two of you can't completely trust each other, then what use is she to you? She's the girl you've waited so many years for, and I believe Wanwan won't let you down."
Lu's mother straightened her clothes, glanced at her son's back as she left, shook her head and sighed softly.
...
At lunchtime, Shi Wan came to find Lu Jingyan with a food box.
As soon as he arrived at the company, Lu Jingyan was waiting at the door, with Zhou Yuan following behind him.
It was lunchtime, and employees were coming and going in the company, all casting curious glances at Lu Jingyan and Zhou Yuan.
Who could be coming that required President Lu to personally greet them? Several employees standing inconspicuously in the corner of the lobby watched their boss and Assistant Zhou whisper among themselves.
"How did this seemingly unassuming big boss end up here?"
"Who exactly is coming? President Lu has to go, and so has Assistant Zhou. He's usually so cheerful, but now he has such a serious expression on his face. It's scary."
"Hey, hey, did you know? Mrs. Lu just came by. Could the person coming now be the future Mrs. Lu?"
"No way... President Lu, this cold-faced devil, has such a tender side?" Everyone gave the person who had just spoken an incredulous look.
"Why not? The last time Mr. Lu had that expression was when the delivery guy from the mall next door came over. He looked like a lovesick fool."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of colleagues gathered around, their gossipy eyes sparkling.
The employee who had just been talking suddenly became smug, "Didn't you guys see it that day?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Did you see the boss's Weibo post from a few days ago?
Everyone nodded.
"Our boss's wife is like a fairy descended from heaven. She has a great figure, she's beautiful, and she has a wonderful personality."
One person rolled their eyes at a colleague who was gossiping, "Have you even spoken to her? How do you know if she has a good personality or not?"
He was engrossed in his speech and ignored the doubts, continuing, "You all know about Sophie Kindergarten under our group, right? She's the teacher of the young master and young lady."
A pretty female colleague swayed her sexy hips, looking disdainful. "So this is how you climb the ladder? What's so great about it? Pfft~"
The employees, who were listening with great interest, glared at the woman, signaling her to be quiet.
The gossipy colleague continued, "Don't cut to the chase yet. She's a double PhD graduate from Country Y, the former principal dancer of the Royal Dance Company of Country Y, and I heard she's a student of a certain master of traditional Chinese painting."
Everyone gasped. The female colleague, who had just been full of disdain, now just pursed her lips and didn't say another word.
"I remember now!"
"Shh!" Everyone gestured for their colleague to be quiet when he suddenly shouted.
My colleague, who had just been excitedly shouting, lowered his head and whispered, "My cousin's daughter studies at Sophie. Their school gets good results in international dance competitions, and it's said that the owner's wife choreographs all of them. Many parents often ask her to tutor their students who are going to take the art college entrance exams."
"But the proprietress refused them all."
"Families that can afford to go to Sophie are all rich and powerful. The boss lady is really brave!"
"What are you saying? You're calling her the boss's wife, but don't you know which company's boss's wife she is? Of course, she has the Lu family backing her up."
"Oh..." A group of gossipy employees exchanged glances with lustful eyes.
