Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
As expected, the other porters stopped making fun of him as soon as he explained. However, there was a part-time worker who was only a few years older than Lu Bei. His tone was filled with envy as he said, “Your mom is really nice to you.”
Lu Bei: “? ? ?”
Where did he get that from?
After downing the cup of frappuccino, Lu Bei felt his entire body cool down. He was still wearing the ice sleeves that Xiang Xiaoyuan had given him. This was the first time that Lu Bei felt relaxed at work.
He stood up and was about to throw away the drink he had finished. Just as he walked to the trash can, he suddenly saw a Maybach driving toward him. He turned his back immediately as he recognized that it was his family’s car.
Who was it? Could it be his father?
Lu Bei pressed down on his pounding heart and quietly followed it. He saw the Maybach stop at the entrance of the company. The higher ups of the company were waiting at the entrance. From Lu Bei’s position, he could see someone getting down from the front passenger seat and then going around to the back seat to open the car door.
Lu Bei might not be able to recognize Gao Yuan’s back, but he could recognize the back of the man who got down from the car. He was like a star surrounded by the moon.
That was his father!
Lu Bei thought that he was seeing things. He even rubbed his eyes, but the back was so familiar…
After confirming that he was not seeing things, the first thing that came to his mind was, “She still doesn’t know, right?”
Unknowingly, Lu Bei and Xiang Xiaoyuan had developed a strange relationship. Xiang Xiaoyuan bought Lu Bei ice sleeves and ordered cool drinks for him, so Lu Bei informed Xiang Xiaoyuan when he saw his father, in case she was caught off guard.
Lu Bei quickly took out his phone from his pocket and dialed “Madam Xiang’s” number, but there was no answer. Lu Bei could only send her a message on Wechat: [ My dad is here! ]
Xiang Xiaoyuan still did not reply.
Xiang Xiaoyuan did not deliberately ignore his message. It was just that it was close to the meeting time. After she and Paddy entered the meeting room, Paddy reminded her that it was best to put her phone on silent during the meeting, if her phone rang during the meeting, it would be very awkward and inappropriate.
Xiang Xiaoyuan was also an employee before she transmigrated. Of course, she knew the rules of the workplace. She decisively turned her phone on silent and then sat on the chair with her back straight, ready to dive into work at any time.
It was soon ten o’clock.
Xiang Xiaoyuan secretly tapped on her phone to take a look and found that there was a Wechat message. She clicked on it and saw a message from Lu Bei. She had not had time to digest what he meant by “My dad is here” before she heard voices coming from the door. Xiang Xiaoyuan subconsciously put away her phone and stood up with her colleagues.
She looked at the door of the meeting room. As expected, Lu Wanggui, who was dressed in formal clothes, stood in the middle of the group. Someone from the company stood smilingly next to him as he walked in steadily.
For a moment, Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Wanggui’s eyes met.
Lu Wanggui’s gaze lingered on her for a few more seconds before he moved his gaze away as if nothing had happened. He greeted the company manager beside him, “Thank you for your hard work.”
The manager hurriedly said, “It’s my duty to do things for the company. But CEO Lu, how come you have time to come today?”
It was not the manager’s fault for being so nervous. Their company was just a small company under Lu Wanggui’s name. Before today, she had never seen Lu Wanggui here before.
She had talked to Gao Yuan regarding the company. When she first took over the management of the company, Lu Wanggui was busy. In the past few years, she had never had the chance to meet him.
Usually, Assistant Gao would be the one attending the meeting. Who knew that CEO Lu would actually come!
How could this not be exciting?
The manager was nervous, but she was capable. She quickly calmed herself down.
Lu Wanggui was led into the meeting room by the manager. He sat down in the main seat. From his seat, he could see Xiang Xiaoyuan.
After he sat down, he had a smile on his face. “I happened to pass by here today. I heard from Assistant Gao that you guys have a meeting today. I’m here to listen in. I hope you don’t mind?”
“Of course not. We are happy to have you here.”
They felt blessed to be noticed by the big boss. The company wasn’t big, but the turnover rate was very low because the company’s benefits were very good and the boss was generous.
Lu Wanggui glanced at Xiang Xiaoyuan again.. At this time, Xiang Xiaoyuan had already recovered from the shock. She had the same question as Gao Yuan, “Did Lu Wanggui come here today to see her or Lu Bei?”
