The assistant pushed up his glasses, carefully weighing his words. “Well, after the previous two proposal failures, he deeply realized his own incompetence. He feels too ashamed to speak with you and is currently reflecting at home every evening. Right now, he is probably busy reflecting, so”
“All right, I get it.” Before the assistant could finish his stream of nonsense, Lu Jinglin cut him off.
The assistant immediately clamped his mouth shut.
Lu Jinglin said, “There were a few minor errors in the middle. I have already marked them for him. Have him make the revisions when the time comes.”
Over the phone, the assistant rubbed his ear, wondering if he had misheard. What was going on?! What kind of situation was this?!
Didn’t President Lu usually despise these kinds of petty mistakes the most?! Not to only point out the errors himself, but also overlook them? What was happening today?!
Did the sun rise from the west? Why wasn’t President Lu angry?! Will someone please tell him?!
Temporarily suppressing his shock, the assistant cautiously asked, “Once the proposal is revised, will it pass?”
“Mn.” Lu Jinglin’s tone remained calm.
Over the past two days, Lu Jinglin had been enjoying all three daily meals immensely, which naturally put him in a much better mood. “Is there anything else?”
“Ah, no, no. Then please go ahead with your work, President Lu. I’ll hang up first.” Even after ending the call, the assistant remained utterly dazed.
He opened WeChat and tapped on Xu Qian.
Wan Dong: Holy crap, Assistant Xu, you have no idea what I just experienced!
Xu Qian: What? Got chewed out by President Lu?
Wan Dong: No, can’t you wish me something good? It’s just that there were some minor errors in the document I showed President Lu earlier, but President Lu didn’t get angry! He didn’t get angry at all!
Xu Qian: Really? You aren’t pulling my leg, are you?
Wan Dong: Why would I lie to you? Do I look like I have nothing better to do? So, is today some kind of special holiday? What made our President Lu change his tune?!
Xu Qian: Ah, I probably know why. This is likely thanks to the CEO’s spouse.
Wan Dong: What?!
Xu Qian: You must know that everyone in the company chat has been discussing that person who showed up at our office a few days ago. That person is the CEO’s spouse.
Xu Qian: I’ve seen him. That day, I was the one who received him. He is drop-dead gorgeous, so President Lu must be in a good mood from holding a beauty in his arms.
Wan Dong: Wait, the CEO’s spouse? Am I seeing things?! President Lu is married???
Xu Qian: Yep, you saw right. Digest it slowly yourself. My wife is calling me, talk to you later.
Assistant Wan put down his phone, left alone to flutter in the wind.
Knock, knock, knock.
A knock on the door interrupted Lu Jinglin’s reading. He lifted his gaze from the book and looked toward the study door. “Come in.”
Just as the words fell, Lu Jinglin saw a fluffy head poke through the opening.
Xia Yuning asked, “Am I disturbing you?”
“Not at all. What is it?”
Xia Yuning had already stepped into the room and casually closed the study door behind him. “I need to go to university tomorrow, just wanted to let you know.”
He had been so relaxed the past few days that he almost forgot the original owner was still a college student.
Now in his senior year, the original owner had taken a few days of leave because of the wedding preparations. Today happened to be the final day of his leave, and he needed to go back to school tomorrow to cancel it.
“Alright. Tomorrow I will have Uncle Luo arrange a driver for you.”
Xia Yuning responded with a soft “Mn.” “I also want to move my things back from the dorm. I’m already a senior anyway, so there’s no need to keep living on campus.”
