However, through Meng Chuyuan's actions and the fact that she was still talking, they were able to judge that the video call had not been hung up yet.
Meng Chuyuan took off the computer and placed it on the conference table, and she sat back down where she was.
She walked over to get the computer in advance just so that it would be more convenient to turn it off later. She didn't expect that in the eyes of others, such a move would turn into an intimate conversation between the two of them.
Meng Chuyuan looked at Lu Qingye and said softly: "Do you have anything else to say? If not, why don't you hang up?"
"Don't you ask me when I'm going back?" Lu Qingye tilted his head slightly, his bulging Adam's apple was extremely eye-catching.
He sent Meng Chuyuan a WeChat message last time, asking her to wait for news of his return, but she didn't reply directly, and he didn't know if she saw it.
He didn't know what happened today. Maybe after a meeting, his sleepiness had completely dissipated. He was quite free at the moment, and he happened to be thinking about it, so he took the initiative to ask.
Meng Chuyuan said without changing his expression: "It doesn't matter when you come back."
Even if she wanted to know, judging from Lu Qingye's current situation, she definitely couldn't tell an accurate time.
In Meng Chuyuan's case, she felt that there was no need to talk about unnecessary things.
Lu Qingye probably didn't expect her to answer so simply, but it didn't matter at all.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a while, Meng Chuyuan said again: "Don't worry, everything is fine at home."
There was basically nothing for him to worry about at home.
After all, Lu Jinsen and Lu Qianling have grown up so much, and there are some things that he can't worry about even if he wants to.
His only worry at the moment was that Meng Chuyuan wouldn't be used to such a life.
Originally, her participation in the variety show and today's matter had nothing to do with her. The agreement clearly did not require her to do these tedious things, but now Meng Chuyuan was involved and took care of everything at home for him.
Lu Qingye was silent for a while and said, "I will come back as soon as possible."
"Well, go to bed early, bye." Meng Chuyuan waved to him and then hung up the video.
Seeing Meng Chuyuan waving, a few people gathered outside to watch the excitement suddenly felt a little disappointed: "Is it over?"
"Sister Meng has closed the computer."
"..."
When Meng Chuyuan came out, she saw Secretary Zheng standing outside the door waiting for her.
"Thank you for your hard work." Meng Chuyuan returned the computer to Secretary Zheng.
"Madam, I can take care of the rest. If you have something to do, you can go and do it first."
Meng Chuyuan: "I'll stay for a while."
Everything in the company was basically explained to the leader before the business trip. Meng Chuyuan also read some documents that needed to be reviewed in the morning. She could make her own arrangements for the rest of the time.
She didn't have much to do when she went back, and she could still see novel things here, which was enough to relieve her boredom.
"Why didn't Secretary Zheng go on a business trip with Mr. Lu? Don't they usually take their secretaries on business trips?"
Hearing this, Secretary Zheng chuckled and said, "Back to my wife, Mr. Lu does not have an executive secretary. He only has one assistant. I work with the vice president and occasionally help Mr. Lu handle some things."
Meng Chuyuan: "That's it."
She had seen the assistant next to Lu Qingye a few times, and felt that he didn't look very smart, and some of his behaviors were not as steady as Secretary Zheng's.
As a result, when she asked, she didn't expect that Secretary Zheng was not Lu Qingye's subordinate.
——
Lu Jinsen didn't find a chance to talk to Meng Chuyuan about the guest appearance last night. When he met with his agent today, he felt guilty and lowered his sense of presence.
After taking a set of magazine photos, his manager came forward to show concern and brought a white towel over to put on him.
Lu Jinsen had been soaking in the water for a long time just now, just to take that set of photos, and he felt a slight chill when he came out of the water.
The agent took out a hot latte from the bag in his hand: "Drink something hot to warm yourself up."
"Thank you." Lu Jinsen sat on the stone bench next to the swimming pool, drinking the hot latte his agent had just given him.
The agent first went to see the finished film that Lu Jinsen had just shot, and then came back to find Lu Jinsen after he thought it was fine.
"There's nothing wrong with the photos. We can go back later."
Lu Jinsen hummed slightly and continued to take a sip of coffee.
It happened that the manager had nothing to do, so he sat down next to Lu Jinsen and looked up at the sparkling swimming pool.
After a while, she suddenly remembered something, looked back at Lu Jinsen, and asked curiously: "Did you tell your sister-in-law about the guest appearance last night when you went back?"
Lu Jinsen: "..."
He had been on tenterhooks for a whole day. When he first came here, his agent didn't mention it, so he thought the matter would go away, but finally he made her think of it.
"You didn't say it, did you?" The manager knew the result after seeing his reaction, and looked at him with hatred: "You are confused, brother. This matter is just for you to pass on a message. What are you hesitating about?"
Lu Jinsen took a strategic sip of coffee and said, "She will definitely not agree."
"You didn't tell her, how did you know she wouldn't agree?"
She could really be pissed off by this guy.
For the variety show being recorded now, she took the initiative to help Lu Jinsen contact Meng Chuyuan. Only then did she get the recording opportunity and was not canceled by the program team.
For the ancient IP that was about to be adapted this time, she deliberately read the original work, discovered the role of the third male lead, and tried her best to help Lu Jinsen win it, but he chose to mess it up again.
Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, the manager took the initiative to talk to Meng Chuyuan.
During the recording of the show, they went through the process and just left each other's contact information.
In the evening, when Meng Chuyuan came back from the company, he saw Lu's mother pruning flowers and plants with the gardener in the yard.
"Mom, can you also prune branches? Isn't that awesome?" Meng Chuyuan came up and praised her.
In fact, she could tell that Mother Lu was clumsy and had never done such a job.
It was the first time I saw her doing it herself, wearing gloves and standing next to the gardener without any problem, looking presentable.
Mother Lu smiled happily when she heard Meng Chuyuan's praise, and said a little embarrassedly: "I just got started, it feels quite fun."
Today, she listened to Meng Chuyuan's words at the company, saying that you can find the value of life by doing meaningful things. When she came out of the courtyard to relax, she happened to see them pruning branches, so she took action.
Meng Chuyuan walked over and took a look, and then complimented casually: "You're practicing really well."
When Mother Lu heard this, she had a happy smile on her face. This unfamiliar work gave her a sense of confidence.
She was a little happy to be praised suddenly, but not too much. When she encountered a slightly thicker branch, she became confused.
"How to fix this?" Mother Lu looked confused.
Meng Chuyuan saw that she didn't know what to do, so she stepped forward and reminded softly: "Mom, all you need to do is cut off the branches."
