Let s Divorce As Agreed

Chapter 961: Chapter 960 Outing (2)

Gu Shaoting was just somewhat puzzled—how could his car appear here so early?

But other people’s affairs were not his to worry about.

By the time Lu Lei arrived, most employees had already gathered.

When Lu Lei appeared, a portion of those previously unaware were greatly surprised.

Given CEO Lu’s typically aloof nature, although the company had organized similar events before, he seldom participated, so everyone thought he would not attend this time either, considering his daily myriad responsibilities.

Some informed individuals had dressed up flashily, hoping to catch the CEO’s attention.

Some uninformed ones were infuriated, stamping their feet in regret for not having dressed more attractively.

Today, CEO Lu wore a black polo shirt and a pair of khaki casual pants. The morning sun shone on his shoulders, adding a touch of warmth to his appearance.

There are certain men who seem not mere mortals, but rare works of art, so handsome that one can’t help wishing to keep them all to oneself.

Lu Lei was one of them, although his looks often attracted countless adoring stares, which he found annoying.

Everyone boarded the buses in an orderly fashion, with managers counting the heads, all curious to see which vehicle the CEO would choose.

Soon, after all employees had boarded the buses, Lu Lei finished a phone call, then turned and boarded a bus—the very one Shu Pan was on.

What a coincidence.

Lu Lei didn’t notice the expressions of the employees; his mind was still on his daughter’s complaints. His mother had called, saying she missed Xin Xin, so he sent her back without a second thought, thinking this outing with the employees was a good opportunity for himself as well.

But Xin Xin did not agree; she had cried breathlessly when he dropped her off, but this time, Lu Lei was not swayed by her tears. She had been rather willful recently, and he felt it was good for her grandmother to teach her a lesson.

After boarding the bus, Lu Lei looked around and noticed an empty seat next to Shu Pan. He walked over without hesitation.

He and Shu Pan were separated only by an aisle, and others directed envious glances their way.

Shu Pan felt on pins and needles. Mr. CEO, with so many seats available, why pick this one?

Fortunately, she was seated next to Sister Zhao, who turned her head and started chatting with her.

Lu Lei leaned back in his seat casually, his long legs crossed in a sight pleasant to the eye.

With his eyes closed, the gentle sound of Shu Pan talking trickled into his ears. She was explaining to a colleague how to mix dough for dumplings, the ratio of water to flour, and which fillings were tastiest.

Hearing her describe it, dumplings started popping up in Lu Lei’s mind, and suddenly, he really wanted to have some.

Sister Zhao listened with relish. “If you want to try, I’ll make some and bring you a taste next time.”

Seeing Sister Zhao’s eyes light up, Shu Pan knew how tiring workdays were and understood that nobody wanted to hassle with cooking after work.

She was much more relieved with Auntie Li’s help.

Because the CEO was also on the bus, everyone behaved with more reserve and restraint, aware of the high-status individual among them.

Two hours later, the bus arrived at Haizhou Island, a top-tier resort with enchanting scenery, blue skies, white clouds, and where the sea met the sky.

Upon disembarking, Shu Pan felt refreshed by the breathtaking view before her.

The first order of business after arrival was to get the room keys; Sister Zhao and Shu Pan shared a room.

The manager instructed everyone to go put away their luggage and then gather outside; the CEO had something to say.

In an instant, everyone’s eyes gleamed with excitement; CEO Lu was finally coming down to earth.
