“Can you truly smell the alcohol on him through the phone?” Kong Zhen asked curiously.
Only then did Lu Hui notice the three distinguished-looking middle-aged women in the room. Knowing that she’d been imprudent, Lu Hui quickly pushed her black-rimmed glasses up her nose and apologized, “I’m sorry; I thought we were continuing with the meeting.”
Yun Nan knew Lu Hui very well. Her staff all had the bad habit of being muddle-headed over small matters; moreover, Lu Hui’s workload had indeed been particularly heavy recently. The silly girl was always thinking about things while she walked, paying no mind to where she was going or the people around her. Seeing that Lu Hui was distressed, Yun Nan decided to help her out. “I’m also curious about how you can smell the alcohol on him through the phone.”
Slightly embarrassed, Lu Hui said softly, “Mr. Liang’s manner of speaking is exaggerated and flamboyant when he’s in his normal state, with ‘gorgeous’ and ‘little lady’ liberally interspersed in his speech! Whereas drunk, he becomes more serious—his way of speaking is more formal and business-like—when he’s lying.”
Yun Nan, Fang Xi, and Shi Xiu shared a look. Shi Xiu chuckled, “That’s true. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed.”
Lu Hui hurriedly nodded when she saw that someone agreed with her and added, “That guy’s harder to deal with when drunk than when sober. He’s cunning and sly and has numerous tricks up his sleeves.”
Lu Hui was a poor victim of Liang Han’s schemes and couldn’t help but complain a little. However, her casual words caught someone’s attention. Kong Zhen’s eyes lit up as she stared at the girl. It was the first time she’d heard someone comment on her silly son like that. ‘How refreshing,’ she thought.
“Have you found a way to deal with him now?” Kong Zhen asked with a smile, gazing at Lu Hui as if she was a precious treasure.
Lu Hui was slightly reserved before strangers and didn’t answer. Seeing this, Fang Xi smiled and uttered, “Yeah, Lu Hui. We have to work closely with Mr. Liang in the future, so there’ll indeed be many difficulties if we can’t grasp his temperament. We can’t let him take too much advantage of us, right?”
Lu Hui saw that Fang Xi was also asking the same question and quickly nodded, stating with great confidence, “That won’t happen. That guy is difficult to deal with but still has principles when doing things. As long as we’re careful of his verbal traps and flatter him more, there shouldn’t be any big problems.”
“We’ve already signed the contract. As for the other small details, we’ll give in once if he mentions it five times, but we can’t promise him everything. He’ll take a mile if we give him an inch, and he won’t feel a sense of accomplishment if he gets what he wants too easily. He—he’s cunning and sly, but he’s not a bad person. He’s just… a little childish!”
Shi Xiu laughed hard as she fell into Kong Zhen’s arms and stated, “Auntie, I find that Lu Hui knows Liang Han quite well. I managed to bag the role of this show’s host due to Lu Hui’s advice. It was very effective.”
Kong Zhen patted Shi Xiu and gave Yun Nan a look. “Yun Nan, I wonder if this charming little lady has time to show us around.”
Yun Nan smiled and nodded. “Of course. Lu Hui, please give these aunties a tour around the company. Shi Xiu, you can accompany them if you like.”
Shi Xiu jumped up in joy. “Alright! I like this mission; I love showing off the most!” Everyone couldn’t help but laugh.
Then, Xu Yun said with slight frustration, “We’re not here for a tour. We came to discuss something with you guys!”
Before Yun Nan could say anything, Kong Zhen chimed in, “Oh, dear, there’s no rush. We can take a look around first and then talk later. Isn’t that right, Lu Ying? Let’s go have a look around first.”
Lu Ying knew what the biggest thing on Kong Zhen’s mind was—to find her son a suitable wife—and noticed that Lu Hui seemed to have caught her friend’s eye, so she smiled and uttered, “Fang Xi, I’d also like to take a look at your wedding gown and see what kind of jewelry would suit it.”
Fang Xi blushed and nodded lightly. “I’ll go with you.”
Lu Ying glanced at Fang Xi’s crutch and asked, “Are you okay making the trip? It won’t be too hard on you, will it?”
Fang Xi smiled and shook her head. “No, I’m used to it. The doctor told me to exercise more, but Ye Kun never lets me walk anywhere.”
Lu Ying chuckled, “He’d love nothing more than to have you rely on him all the time. Don’t listen to him. Exercise more! You have to properly recover so that you can run fast and let my idiot son chase after you.”
Shi Xiu clicked her tongue and remarked, “I must find a mother-in-law like you and Mom in the future, auntie. It doesn’t matter how my husband is, but my mother-in-law has to be nice! ”
Xu Yun glared admonishingly at her, scolding, “Don’t be ridiculous!”
Kong Zhen hugged Shi Xiu and replied, “I think Shi Xiu is right. Choosing a mother-in-law is very important. Of course, choosing a husband is also important! Don’t worry about making the wrong choice, Shi Xiu. There are loads of people who’ll help you check!”
Everyone laughed as they walked out together, and Kong Zhen deliberately walked beside Lu Hui. When Shi Xiu introduced the middle-aged women to Lu Hui, she only addressed them by name and didn’t point out their identities. Therefore, Lu Hui only knew that Auntie Lu was Fang Xi’s mother-in-law to be, Auntie Xu was Yun Nan’s mother-in-law and Shi Xiu’s mother, and Auntie Kong beside her was just Auntie Kong. Since the lady wasn’t the mother-in-law or related to the other girls, Lu Hui would be the one to
accompany her..
