Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When they heard the notification, everyone held their breaths in tacit understanding. They were already nervous before they even saw Lu Qingye.

Meng Chuyuan turned her chair naturally and sat sideways. She raised her head slightly and looked at the projection screen.

After everyone was in the zone, Secretary Zheng was in charge of video-calling Lu Qingye.

Soon, Lu Qingye appeared on the projection screen.

Lu Qingye was wearing a white sweater. His tight jawline hid his sexy Adam’s apple. His collar was slightly larger, revealing his collarbone.

He seemed to have lost weight after she had not seen him for nearly a month.

In Meng Chuyuan’s impression, Lu Qingye had a tough body. Now, he could not even hold up a sweater.

It was almost midnight on his side. In order to have this meeting, he changed his clothes at the last minute and brought his computer from the bedroom to the study.

Lu Qingye adjusted his angle and revealed his head. He glanced at the screen and immediately saw Meng Chuyuan.

Meng Chuyuan sat closest to the projection screen. The afternoon light was saturated. Through the screen, Lu Qingye could vaguely feel the light by the window.

She sat there, and she looked so white that it seemed as if she was glowing.

Lu Qingye glanced at everyone present, but he did not see his mother.

He did not speak, and the people below did not dare to make a sound. They looked up silently and looked at Meng Chuyuan from the corner of their eyes, secretly observing their situation.

Lu Qingye had always been businesslike. He did not have to bother to pad his words and always went straight to the point. “I gathered everyone for a meeting today mainly to introduce my wife, Meng Chuyuan.”

The woman sitting next to Meng Chuyuan called her Sister Meng softly.

Some people might have watched the live-stream and subconsciously called her that just like the viewers, but everyone present was older than her. It was really not appropriate to call her Sister Meng.

Meng Chuyuan turned to look at the others and smiled. “Just call me Xiao Meng.”

Everyone introduced themselves one by one so that Meng Chuyuan could have an impression of them.

After the introduction process was over, Lu Qingye randomly selected a few departments to report on the progress of their work and gave some instructions. Meng Chuyuan listened attentively. Beside her, Secretary Zheng explained professional terms to her from time to time.

The meeting lasted for nearly an hour. When everyone had no more questions, Lu Qingye announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Meng Chuyuan closed the folder in her hand. Just as she was about to get up and leave with everyone, Lu Qingye suddenly called out to her, “Ah Yuan, stay here first. I have something to tell you.”

When the others heard this, they looked at Meng Chuyuan curiously.

However, they didn’t dare to make it too obvious. After packing up, they left the meeting room with their computers.

When Secretary Zheng saw this, he tactfully left the meeting room and closed the door.

Meng Chuyuan turned to look at the projection screen at the side and asked calmly, “What is it?”

When Lu Qingye saw that only Meng Chuyuan was left in the meeting room, he said slowly, “My mother isn’t with you?”

He had noticed it before the meeting, but because there were so many people around, Lu Qingye did not ask.

He did not see his mother during the entire meeting, which disappointed Lu Qingye.

“She came with me in the morning. After lunch, she said she was leaving.” Meng Chuyuan shrugged and said helplessly, “So I let her go back.”

She couldn’t push her too hard, in case it backfired.

Meng Chuyuan felt that he should give Madam Lu some time to accept and adapt.

Lu Qingye looked helpless when he heard that.

After a while, Lu Qingye said apologetically, “I’ve troubled you again.”

“It’s just a small matter. How can you call it trouble?”

She was happy to try things that she had never done before. For example, not only did she learn to read the reports today, but she also participated in this meeting to understand the situation of the various departments and truly experience the atmosphere of the workplace.

This was undoubtedly a form of learning for her.

At the same time, the employees outside secretly observed Lu Qingye and Meng Chuyuan through the glass wall.

“I’ve never seen CEO Lu so gentle.” A female employee held a cup in her hand and leaned her back against the desk. She looked openly at the meeting room in front of her.

The other person sat in front of the computer, but his gaze fell on Meng Chuyuan. He secretly said to his colleague beside him, “CEO Lu just called his wife ‘Ah Yuan’, oh my god, when has our CEO Lu ever called someone else like

Lu Qingye usually did not take the initiative to call his subordinates. As long as he opened his mouth, he would call them by their full names. Usually, nothing good would come out of this situation.

Ah Yuan’s name did not sound cloying, but it did not give off a distant feeling.

Lu Qingye’s voice was magnetic and charming to begin with. There was a hint of hoarseness in his deep voice. Even if he usually communicated coldly with others, he would still arouse in them a good impression of him.

“I think CEO Lu and Sister Meng are quite close. I don’t know why the rumors online are so ridiculous, saying that she’s an abandoned wife from a wealthy family.”

“No matter what, I’m an old employee of the company, right? I didn’t feel anything when our CEO Lu was in a relationship. If I hadn’t seen him wear a wedding ring to work a month ago, I wouldn’t have known that he was already married.”

“Not to mention you, I didn’t sense it either. Perhaps our CEO Lu is more low-key.”

Everyone was slacking off during work hours while secretly watching the situation in the conference room. They were all curious about what they were talking about.

Meng Chuyuan stayed alone in the conference room for about ten minutes. The things she talked to Lu Qingye about were more like daily conversations. She also shared what she had learned today with Lu Qingye.

“It should be quite late at your place, right?” Meng Chuyuan guessed the time on his side through the light of the video. It felt quite late.

Lu Qingye hummed softly and did not say anything else.

After all, he had already showered and was about to sleep. He had decided to hold this meeting at the last minute because he was worried.

There were some things that he wanted to clarify with his mother in person, but she was not around.

Meng Chuyuan had said everything she needed to say and had nothing else to say to him. She got up from her chair and walked to the support desk, holding her computer in her hand.

She shifted her gaze to the computer screen and looked at Lu Qingye in the video. “You should rest early. I’ll see what else I can help you with later.”

The moment the onlookers outside saw Meng Chuyuan holding the computer for the meeting, their eyes were filled with excitement.

“Look, look! Sister Meng is holding our CEO Lu in the palm of her hands.”

“What?” The colleague, who had been focused on his work, immediately looked towards the conference room when he heard this.

A married person said, “Have you been single for too long? Why are you excited over this kind of thing?”

As the projection screen on the wall reflected too much light and they were separated by a layer of transparent glass, they could not see Lu Qingye at al…
