Lu Qingye took the document, flipped it open, and roughly glanced at it. Then, he picked up the fountain pen on the table and wff0te his name.

Seeing Lu Qingye put away his pen, Assistant Yang consciously walked forward to take away the documents. Out of the corner of his eye, he was inadvertently attracted by the bright phone screen at the side. His movements quietly slowed down. He tilted his head slightly and could not help but glance at Lu Qingye’s phone screen.

At first, perhaps because of his guilty conscience, Assistant Yang could not see the phone screen clearly. Coupled with the fact that the screen was a little reflective, Assistant Yang could only see a simple outline. She had fair skin and thick long curly hair.

‘A woman?’

CEO Lu was actually looking at beauties during working hours?

This made Assistant Yang even more curious.

While Lu Qingye was closing the pen cap, Assistant Yang deliberately bent down to fend off the excess reflection and looked at the phone screen openly.

At this moment, Lu Qingye put down his pen and saw Assistant Yang standing there. He followed his gaze and looked at his phone.

Lu Qingye narrowed his hawk-like eyes and said coldly, “Does she look good?”

Assistant Yangs face was filled with sincerity. “Yes.”

The next second, Lu Qingye’s large hand covered the top of the screen and picked up the phone.

“I’m cutting half of your year-end bonus.”

When Assistant Yang heard this, the expression on his face instantly collapsed. He said aggrievedly, “No… CEO Lu, why?”

“You tell me why.”

“CEO Lu, is there no room for discussion?” Assistant Yang found it difficult to calm down. He had not done anything but steal a glance at his superior’s phone. It was too ruthless to deduct half of his year-end bonus.

“Why? Are you unhappy with me leaving half for you?”

Looking at Lu Qingye’s sharp gaze, he could only grit his teeth and agree, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “I’m happy. CEO Lu, you’re too kind.”

If he hadn’t said that she looked good just now, all of his year-end bonus might have been deducted.

Lu Qingye tilted his head and looked at the door. “Since you’re happy with the arrangement, why are you still hanging around? Get out.”

Assistant Yang nodded and turned to leave the office with the documents in his arms. However, he had only taken two steps when Lu Qingye called him back. “Wait.’

“What can I do for you, CEO Lu?” Based on his past experience, Assistant Yang felt that CEO Lu would definitely give him a second chance.

Lu Qingye suddenly remembered that his mother had said that she had sent him a package that day. It had been half a week, but there had been no news. Originally, international logistics took a longer time. At normal speed, it would take another three to four days to arrive.

“Contact the logistics company. In the future, my packages are to be delivered alone.’

He was worried that they would lose something after such a long journey.

“Will do.”

“Also, go check where the express delivery from Wei City a few days ago has been delivered to. Send someone to pick it up.”

“Huh?” Assistant Yang was a little confused. “You’re sending someone to pick up the express delivery?”

What kind of treasure was this?!

Assistant Yang expressed that in his five years in the industry, this was his first time hearing the president necessitate that somebody pick up his package that was already on the way.

Lu Qingye leaned against the chair with both his hands on the armrest. His posture was a little lazy, and his tone was with slight indifference. “It’s too slow. I need to see the package by this time tomorrow morning, understand?”

In the face of the invisible pressure exuding from Lu Qingye, the assistant nodded and revealed a fawning expression. “Understood! Then, CEO Lu… after the matter is done, can you add back the half of the year-end bonus that was deducted?”

Lu Qingye raised his eyes and hummed softly.

“Alright! Even if the package has gone missing, I will dig three feet underground to find it for you.”

“…” The package’s whereabouts were still unknown. It seemed that he had to rethink the year-end bonus.

After Mrs. Li’ s birthday party ended, Liao Jiake won everyone’s favor because of her outstanding performance just now. Her mother-in-law was also very happy.

On the way back, Liao Jiake sat in a car with her mother-in-law. Seeing that her mother-in-law was very satisfied with her performance tonight, she probed, “Mom, 1 didn’t embarrass you just now, right?”

The granny smiled and said, “Well done. Didn’t you see how envious they were just now?”

After receiving her mother-in-law’s affirmation and praise, Liao Jiake’s tense heart finally relaxed.

While her mother-in-law was still bathing in the glory of the scene just now, Liao Jiake struck while the iron was hot. “Then, Mom, do you agree to my comeback? I can also make you proud outside.”

She only had one variety show at the moment and had not received any other work.

Liao Jiake did not want to return to her family after filming the variety show. She wanted to return to the entertainment industry and accept various endorsements.

When her mother-in-law heard about the comeback, her expression suddenly changed. “Comeback? It’s not like our Xu family can’t afford to support you. If word gets out, won’t people laugh at us?”

‘Zeyi is filming movies outside. I have nothing to do at home, why don’t you let me do some acting?”

“How can you and Zeyi be the same? He’s a man. It’s expected that he earns money. You’re already married, so you should prioritize your family. If you really want to do something for your family, then have a child as soon as possible.”

Liao Jiake:

She had not prepared for pregnancy for a long time because she had been preparing for her comeback.

If she really had a child, her comeback plan would be even more difficult to realize.

Seeing that Liao Jiake’s expression was a little dark, her mother-in-law continued, “Look at that eldest son of the Lu family. No matter how outstanding he is, what’s the use? He doesn’t care about his family at all. He married a wife as a decoration. Perhaps he has flaws in that aspect! You, you, it’s a blessing in disguise for you to be able to marry Zeyi. Don’t be ignorant of your blessings.”

Liao Jiake recalled the scene of Meng Chuyuan’s arrival tonight. She was all dressed up for the occasion and got along well with her mother-in-law. Their relationship was like that of sisters. Thinking of this, she said sourly, “Meng Chuyuan marrying him is at least decent. I think Aunt Juan treats her quite well…

“You call that decent? Am I not treating you well enough?”

The next morning, Lu Qingye arrived at work on time.

Assistant Yang sent someone to follow the logistics of the express delivery package for a day and finally managed to deliver it all the way from China to Lu Qingye.

“CEO Lu, this is your package.” The first thing Assistant Yang did when he got to work was to retrieve the package that Lu Qingye had been longing for and send it to his office, He even said smugly, ‘1 1 delivered it to you on time. Is my work ability alright?”

Lu Qingye raised his eyes and looked at him expressionlessly. Then, he reached out to him and took the item.

While Lu Qingye was opening the package, Assistant Yang reported to him, “CEO Lu, there’s an interview with The Times the day after tomorrow. Do you need me to reject it?”

“Keep it there for now.” Coincidentally, he did not have any special arrangements the day after tomorrow.

“Okay.” Assistant Yang didn’t dare to offend him again after getting his year-end bonus back. He tactfully left the office.

Lu Qingye opened the packaging layer by layer and finally saw the dual-colored scarf. It was very soft to the touch. Just by rubbing it against his wrist, he could feel the warmth and comfort.

His warm fingers smoothed along the knitted lines. The intertwine between the two-colored yarns were clear, smooth, dense and firm. The colors also had a gradient effect. There was no way to find any crooked needlework at all..
