Chapter 87 Do We Announce Our Divorce to the Public?

Lu Jinye’s secretary, Linda entered the meeting room upon getting Xiao Qingqing’s request.

While she was topping up his cup of tea, she leaned in and whispered into Lu Jinye’s ear, “Mr. Lu, Miss

Xiao has been waiting for you, it might be urgent.”

Lu Jinye did not even bat an eye. Drumming on the table with his slender fingers, he nodded lightly,

saying, “We will proceed with the detailed data comparison of the current medical research trend on the

market.”

Linda heard him. She no longer dared to pester Lu Jinye and promptly left the room, shaking her head

at Xiao Qingqing in dismay.

She brought a glass of juice for Xiao Qingqing while explaining, “Miss Xiao, you know that the chairman

works like a workaholic when he gets busy. Why don’t you go home and wait for now? I’ll inform you as

soon as the chairman is done with work.”

Xiao Qingqing’s beautiful eyes twitched in response. Clutching the glass of juice in her hands firmly,

she replied, “It’s fine, I’ll wait, please carry on with your work, Linda, don’t let me disturb you.”

Linda looked at Xiao Qingqing with a troubled expression. She shook her head in the end, turned

around, and left the reception room.

Lu Jinye continued listening to the executives’ presentations in the meeting room. Since his proposal to

change the investment strategy with a focus on the medical industry, the executives had been

relentlessly working to conduct feasibility studies of medical investments and assessments of Shanze’s

current financial sustainability.

They had worked multiple nights to compile the documents and assign work in an organized way,

confident that they were fully prepared for the meeting. However, Lu Jinye’s queries instantly put each

of them out of words.

The information that Lu Jinye had stored in his brain was far beyond their research.

The meeting was suffering for the pitiful souls.

Thus, earlier… When Linda told Lu Jinye that Xiao Qingqing was waiting for him outside, the

executives considered Xiao Qingqing as their savior, hoping that she could hurriedly descend from her

throne to their rescue.

However, disappointment was all they got in the end.

Lu Jinye had just started his remark when his phone went off out of the blue.

He lowered his head to look at the notification on the screen, while everyone else held their breath,

anticipating for goodness to occur.

Only to see him hold the phone in his hand and said to the room, “One moment.”

At this instance, almost everyone in the room heaved a simultaneous sigh.

Lu Jinye then followed by saying, “We’ll take a break.”

Afterward, he turned around and headed to the corridor to answer the call.

On the other end, Mu Zhi took multiple deep breaths before saying, “Jinye, there’s something I’d like to

discuss with you.”

Lu Jinye responded in a listless tone, “Go ahead.”

“Do we announce our divorce to the public?”

It sounded almost like a sincere question.

Meanwhile, Lu Jinye frowned lightly at what she had asked. He answered with another question, “Do

you wish to announce it?”

It was a secret marriage.

Announcing their divorce was purely to give Master Lu an explanation.

That was how Lu Jinye saw it.

But, there was a long silence that followed on the phone. The silence was broken when Mu Zhi bit her

lips and said reluctantly, “After we split, you’ve been bothered by all the scandalous expose. If you don’t

mind the rumors or don’t feel like announcing our divorce, I won’t insist.”

Lu Jinye noticed something strange in Mu Zhi’s tone, “What rumor?”

His men would unquestionably deal with the rumors by default.

Hence Lu Jinye’s indifference towards the scandals.

However, before Mu Zhi could gather a response, a nurse’s voice could be heard coming from the

background, “Dr. Mu, the dean wishes to see you.”

“I gotta go.”

Mu Zhi hurriedly hung up the call and promptly followed the nurse towards the dean’s office.

While Lu Jinye frowned at the tone of the beeping sound. He did not return to the meeting. Instead, he

headed to his office and asked for Linda, “Linda, look into the rumors between me and Mu Zhi and give

me a report, the more detailed the better.”

After giving the order, he swiftly went back to the meeting room.

Xiao Qingqing was waiting in the reception room located next to Linda’s secretary’s office. She lifted

her head only to espy Lu Jinye rushing past in a hurry. She quickly rose to her feet, walking towards Lu

Jinye. However, she had barely approached Lu Jinye when he burst into the meeting room.

Xiao Qingqing was exasperated at this point.

She made her way to the secretary’s office and looked at Linda with a stiff smile, “Secretary Linda…

What did Jinye make you do just now?”

Linda was amid surfing the net to look for scandalous news Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye. She gulped at Xiao

Qingqing’s question.

Can… She let her know?

When Mu Zhi was the Chief Secretary, she was the boss in this room.

Linda was clear with the complicated and intricate relationship between Lu Jinye, Mu Zhi, and Xiao

Qingqing.

Moreover! If she were to choose a side, she would certainly choose the kind, gentle and generous

Secretary Mu Zhi!

“Umm… Nothing, Mr. Lu told me to send him a report. There’s an error in the data.”

Linda did not dare maintain eye contact with Xiao Qingqing. She had her eyes on the computer screen

as she spoke.

While Xiao Qingqing could see everything on the screen.

She did not lash out. Instead, she said, “Then please get on with it, Secretary Linda, don’t let me

disturb Jinye’s work.”

Following that, she clanked her heels on the ground, heading towards Lu Jinye’s direction furiously and

anxiously.

Lu Jinye returned to the meeting room. Resuming the meeting, he spoke a few words and decided not

to carry on.

Mu Zhi was a clever woman. According to his understanding of Mu Zhi… She was more than capable

to handle issues. She would only reach out to him if there was a tricky situation.

Lu Jinye shut the file, stood to his feet, and said to the executives, “We’ll come back to discuss the rest

on another day, dismiss.”

Finishing what he had to say, Lu Jinye turned around, preparing to leave.

The executives were instantly relieved.

They had to thank the goddess whom Mr. Lu greatly missed for saving them today.

Lu Jinye was on his way out when Xiao Qingqing came to the meeting room.

She did not even have the time to prepare herself before Lu Jinye uttered apathetically, “What’s the

matter?”

“Jinye… I…”

“We’ll talk about it later, I need to go to the Junxin Hospital.”

Xiao Qingqing swallowed all the words that were at the tip of her tongue.

She grasped the corner of her clothes firmly, causing it to wrinkle, but pretended to be caring, “Did

something happen to Miss Mu?”

Lu Jinye did not see the need to hide the truth, “Yes.”
