Ch. 120 - Eating So Well Behind My Back?
Ding dong
The doorbell rang.
Auntie Wen was in the shower. Lu Xing put down the book in his hand and hobbled to the door on his crutch.
"CEO Wen, I... I'm sorry, I've come to the wrong place."
Secretary Zhao apologized, turned around decisively with her briefcase, and walked away.
She had only taken two steps.
Wait.
Not right!
Secretary Zhao abruptly turned her head back, looked at Lu Xing's face with confusion, then took two steps back to look at the main door.
There's no mistake.
Lu Xing asked with a kind and friendly smile.
"Are you looking for CEO Wen? Thank you for your hard work. Please come in."
Huh?
Goddamn it!
CEO Wen is really hiding a man in her villa?!
Secretary Zhao hesitantly entered the door, her eyes almost glued to Lu Xing.
Lu Xing poured a glass of water for Secretary Zhao and placed it in front of her.
"Have some water."
"Oh, oh, okay, thank you!"
Secretary Zhao, as if having a stress reaction, immediately stood up, wishing she could bow to Lu Xing.
Are you kidding me?
This is the first time she has seen a man by CEO Wen's side.
'He might be the future boss's wife, uh, boss's dad, uh, that's not right either, the boss's... whatever!'
Lu Xing couldn't help but laugh. Did he really look that scary?
"Have a seat."
"Thank you, thank you."
Secretary Zhao sat down awkwardly, solemnly extended her hand to Lu Xing, and introduced herself.
"Hello, I'm CEO Wen's secretary. My surname is Zhao."
'Leaving a good impression on the boss's husband is what a qualified secretary should do!'
Hmm?
Lu Xing smiled.
This secretary of Auntie Wen's is quite interesting.
He shook Secretary Zhao's hand and said gently.
"Hello, my name is Lu Xing."
He couldn't explain his relationship with Auntie Wen, so he could only introduce himself like this.
Secretary Zhao nodded, thinking to herself, of course, she knew. She was the one who had hired people to investigate Lu Xing's background.
This was the first time she had seen CEO Wen so attentive to a man.
Lu Xing explained.
"CEO Wen is in the shower. Thank you for waiting a moment."
"It's no trouble, no trouble." Secretary Zhao immediately waved her hand.
"I should, I should."
Secretary Zhao carefully picked up the tea in her hand and slowly took a sip.
The chill was driven away, and her whole body warmed up.
'So comfortable, so thoughtful.'
No wonder CEO Wen likes him.
Hehe, she also likes him.
Secretary Zhao's eyes couldn't help but size up Lu Xing, a certain sentence constantly echoing in her mind.
[Height 176 to 183 cm, muscular but not exaggerated, broad shoulders, long legs, black short hair, very long eyelashes, a spark in his eyes...]
Holy f*ck!
Comparing the requirements one by one, Secretary Zhao suddenly froze.
Holy...
So last time when CEO Wen was describing a picture, the "picture" was right here?!
Fuck!
Psycho!
The original is right here. What kind of crazy is CEO Wen having, to still insist on finding a bootleg copy?
"What's wrong? Is it too hot?"
Lu Xing looked at Secretary Zhao with confusion.
Secretary Zhao laughed awkwardly and immediately said, "No, I was just thinking that CEO Wen is working so late. It's a bit too hard. It's my fault for scheduling things too tightly."
Lu Xing smiled, like a spring breeze brushing against one's face.
"Aren't you also working so late? You're also working hard. It's so late. You should be careful on your way back, or I'll ask CEO Wen if there are any guest rooms."
Secretary Zhao was CCed (Crowd Controled) for three seconds.
By the time she came back to her senses, her back was covered in a cold sweat!
'Damn it.'
No!
This is the boss's husband. No, no, no!
"It's okay, thank you, Mr. Lu. I came by car. An eight-year-old driver, very reliable!"
Fuck!
CEO Wen is really eating so well!
She had worked at other companies before and had seen how the bosses' mistresses held their noses in the air.
Seriously.
This was really the first time she had seen someone like Lu Xing.
No wonder he had mesmerized CEO Wen, making her spend money like water!
Sigh.
Secretary Zhao looked at Lu Xing with some sympathy.
'He probably still doesn't know that CEO Wen wants to end the contract with him, right?'
So pitiful.
'What right do these canaries have to interfere with the boss's decisions?'
At most, after the boss decides to end the contract, they can cry and beg the boss not to leave.
Sigh.
Such a handsome young man. If CEO Wen doesn't want him, she does!
"Is that so?"
Lu Xing didn't want Auntie Wen's image to be bad in front of her subordinate, so he also maintained his own image.
The two of them sat opposite each other and chatted for a while longer. The door to the room on the second floor opened.
Wen Lingxiu was drying her hair, wearing a dark purple nightgown, and looked down, her gaze meeting Lu Xing's.
Lu Xing stood up and explained considerately.
"CEO Wen, your secretary is here. I'll go back to my room first."
It wasn't good for him to be present for their business matters.
Wen Lingxiu quickly walked down the stairs to support Lu Xing. And she began to consider whether to install an elevator.
Lu Xing opened the door and entered the bedroom.
Only when there was no sound from inside did Wen Lingxiu say to Secretary Zhao.
"To the study."
...
Study
"CEO Wen, the government side has been settled."
"The orphanage, the Hope Primary School, and the nursing home will all start construction together."
Secretary Zhao placed the documents in front of Wen Lingxiu.
Wen Lingxiu sat in the office chair, opened a document to look at it, and asked.
"Have they contacted Lu Xing's grandfather?"
"Soon."
Secretary Zhao thought for a moment and said.
"They said they will tell Lu Xing's grandfather after all the projects have been approved."
Wen Lingxiu thought about it. It made sense, so she didn't ask anymore and continued to look at the documents.
Secretary Zhao had thought that after being with CEO Wen for so many years, she understood her thoughts.
But now she really didn't.
CEO Wen had talked with the government in Lu Xing's hometown, saying that the government would fund the construction of these public buildings.
In exchange.
CEO Wen would build a factory in the local area to drive local employment and economy.
All of this sounded very good.
But Secretary Zhao just didn't understand, why not just directly invest money to build these buildings?
She was too confused. Plus, CEO Wen had always been a good person, so she asked.
Wen Lingxiu smiled faintly after hearing it.
"What is it for me to invest money?"
"My direct investment would be an erasure of Lu Xing's efforts these past few years."
Lu Xing would probably return to his hometown in the future.
Then she would do her best to make Lu Xing's hometown a little better.
Secretary Zhao really felt like she had transmigrated into a domineering CEO novel. She simply couldn't understand the logic of a domineering CEO!
You've done so much, you should tell Lu Xing!
What's the point if you don't say it?
And CEO Wen, is spending money on Lu Xing like crazy. Isn't this proof that she loves him enough?
But if she loves him so much, why does she want to end the contract?!
Damn it.
Are all the rich people sick in the head?!
