Lu Weixi turned her head, indeed seeing a white Porsche parked at the front door, afterwards, Yang Mogui descended from the backseat of the car.
Walking tall and alone at the front, her bodyguard parked the car and followed her, holding a series of packages large and small. Yang Mogui walked to the door, seeing Lu Weixi waiting for her there, still in the clothes she had come home in, clearly having just returned. She furrowed her brow: “You just got back?”
You’re the one who’s come back even later, aren’t you?
Lu Weixi nodded, but before she could greet her, Yang Mogui ignored her, looking directly at Aunt Hao: “Where’s my son? Hasn’t he come back yet?”
Aunt Hao replied: “Secretary Wang called earlier, the young master is too busy with work today, he won’t be back.”
Lu Weixi breathed a small sigh of relief, which explains why Yang Mogui wasn’t pressuring her. On the other side, Yang Mogui frowned and turned to look at Lu Weixi: “Call Zhiyou.”
“Mom,” Lu Weixi said quickly, “Zhiyou is busy with work, he doesn’t like to be disturbed. Besides, didn’t Secretary Wang just say he isn’t coming home?”
“When I tell you to call, you call, no more questions.”
With Yang Mogul’s high-pressure tactics, there was nothing Lu Weixi could do. She thought about it, fearing that if she called Qin Zhiyou directly, he would be unhappy, he disliked her controlling ways the most. He had been so angry when she had merely mentioned STAR in passing last time. As a result, she eventually decided to call Secretary Wang instead.
While making the call, she followed Yang Mogui into the hall. Yang Mogui changed her shoes, handed her coat to Aunt Hao, and sat on the sofa. Lu Weixi stood to one side. To show that she had made a call, she put it on speaker. The phone soon connected with a “beep beep”, but temporarily no one answered.
Hanhai Group’s conference room.
The conference room was silent. Qin Zhiyou was pressuring a group of executives, demanding they complete their work before the meeting at two o’clock the next afternoon. Upon entering the conference room, all the executives were forced to silence or turn off their phones. If they needed to make a call, they’d have to step out of the room when they were using the restroom. The conference room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, just as Secretary Wang’s phone vibrated.
Qin Zhiyou’s thin lip tightened, and a disappointed glare was reflected in his eye, as if he were blaming Secretary Wang for the noise.
Upon seeing the name flashing on his phone, Secretary Wang knew right away, and immediately said, “Mr. Qin, it’s…”
“What ‘it’s?’ I set my phone to do not disturb, and yet your phone is still vibrating. Do you want to report to the Africa project department?”
Secretary Wang promptly shrunk, “I was wrong”. He instantly hung up the phone, and then promptly set it to do not disturb.
On the other end, Lu Weixi’s call was disconnected, she looked helplessly towards Yang Mogui: “Mom, it seems he really is busy.”
Mrs. Yang gave her a sidelong glance, what kind of daughter-in-law was she, her call had been hung up. She took out her own phone to call Qin Zhiyou, but he didn’t answer for a while. She coughed: “I’m going to rest. Remember to take the Chinese medicine I cooked yesterday. You must come home early tomorrow. Also, you should care more about him. Having your call to your husband hung up, my son must really dislike you.”
Lu Weixi did not argue, she watched Mrs. Yang go back to her room, after a slight pause, she also returned to her room.
It’s better when Qin Zhiyou isn’t here, when he was, Ms. Yang kept trying to get the two of them to bond.
Eleven o’clock.
Qin Zhiyou gave them a ten-minute break, the executives scattered for some fresh air, and he asked Secretary Wang to brew a cup of coffee.. After a sip, he casually asked: “Who just called you?”
