C11

It was already around 11 AM when Lu Qing arrived at the company.

Originally, Assistant Little Wu had a large stack of documents in his hands at around ten in the morning and was preparing to go to the CEO's office to give Lu Qing a deep signature. Who knew that when he entered the office, he would discover that his CEO hadn't come at all?

"Hey, I saw a ghost. The sun must have risen from the west today, to be able to catch the CEO late. It must have been really difficult." Little Wu muttered to herself as she shook her head. Then, she turned around and returned to her office.

She waited until almost noon, when the CEO still hadn't come. Little Wu decided to not wait and prepared to go have a meal first.

In the end, Little Wu had just walked towards the elevator when she bumped directly into Lu Qing.

"CEO!" Little Wu seemed to have noticed something new in the world as he hurriedly walked in front of Lu Qingshen and greeted him.

Seeing Little Wu's shocked expression, Lu Qingzhen only glanced indifferently at Little Wu before continuing to walk towards the CEO's office.

Being stared at by her CEO like that, Little Wu was so frightened that she immediately quivered. It was impossible for her to eat anymore, so she followed behind Lu Qing, preparing to return to her office to take care of the documents that needed her CEO's signature.

Ten signatures.

Lu Qing looked deeply at the stack of documents that Little Wu had placed on his desk. He picked up the bright black pen beside him and signed his name with a 'shua' sound.

After that, he waved to Little Wu, gesturing for her to leave.

"That... CEO, there's one more thing. This is an invitation sent over by President Zhang of Dai Yi Entertainment Company. They said that their company will have a celebratory dinner three days later, and invited you to join them. "

Facing Lu Qingzhen's wave, Little Wu didn't rush out. Instead, she explained the last thing and passed over the invitation card with the word "Stampede" printed on it.

Lu Qing received the invitation from Little Wu with a raise of his hand.

Daye Entertainment?

It was one of the top entertainment companies in the world. They owned a large number of famous movie stars, and a few days ago, the company invested in an action movie.

Thinking up to this point, Lu Qing's eyes couldn't help but sink deeper into the depths of his eyes as he looked at the invitation card.

It wasn't that he was paying attention to these entertainment matters, but to date, the Central Asia Group had no investment in this area. Since he had the intention to expand in this direction, he naturally had to pay more attention.

"Sure, it just so happens that I have to go on a business trip tomorrow. On the night of my return, I will also be attending a banquet. The time is just right." Lu Qing thought deeply about the future development of some investment directions and didn't reject this invitation. Instead, he directly agreed.

"Alright, then I'll be going out first, CEO." With that, Little Wu carried the stack of documents that Lu Qingjin had signed and happily turned around to leave the CEO's office.

After Little Wu left, Lu Qingzhen leaned back in his class chair, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

From yesterday to today, in less than forty-eight hours, too many things had happened, causing him, who had always been clear-headed, to actually be confused for a moment.

No, he needed some time to calm down …

That night, after Qiao Yifan helped the butler prepare dinner, he sat inside the restaurant and waited for Lu Qingshen to return.

Speaking of which, the butler didn't want Qiao Yifan to help with the cooking at first, but since Qiao Yifan insisted, the butler couldn't refuse and could only follow Qiao Yifan's instructions.

Qiao Yifan looked at his phone. It was already past 7 PM, but he had yet to see Lu Qing return.

"Gu gu, gu gu"

In due course, a series of protests came from Joe's stomach, reminding him that it was time for her to eat.

Sigh!

Qiao Yifan heaved a heavy sigh and pouted, somewhat dissatisfied. He then murmured in a low voice, "Some people are really impolite. I don't know if I'll notify the family if they don't return so late."

Looking at the table full of tasty dishes, Qiao Yifan swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a "gulp". He felt himself getting hungrier and hungrier, and even his own eyes lit up as he looked at the dishes.

Secretly rubbing his stomach, Qiao Yifan silently hinted at himself: She's not hungry, she's not hungry!

After saying that, Qiao Yifan turned on his phone and began to play with it. He wanted to use it to divert his attention so that he wouldn't have to think about eating.

After a few rounds, Qiao Yifan easily cleared the level and logged out of the game. Looking at the time, it was already eight o'clock.

"Is he not coming back? If he doesn't come back, the food will be cold. " Looking at his phone, Qiao Yifan couldn't help but mumble to himself.

Just as Qiao Yifan finished talking, the butler came out of the bedroom and into the dining room. She looked at Qiao Yifan who had been enduring his hunger and waiting for Mr Lu to come back and felt some heartache.

Thinking of what he had to say, the housekeeper couldn't say it, but in the end, the butler couldn't help but remind him, "Miss, why don't you eat first. It's time for now. I'm sure Mr Lu won't come back."

Hearing the housekeeper's voice, Qiao Yifan turned his head and stood up from his chair with a "whoosh". Because he was a bit anxious, the chair almost fell over.

"Did Qing Shen call you?" Qiao Yifan looked at the butler and asked impatiently.

Even his eyes, which had been emotionless all this while, suddenly lit up.

She thought about it. Maybe Lu Qing wasn't willing to call her, so he called the butler.

"No, why would Mr Lu call me? It's just that at eight o'clock, as long as Mr Lu doesn't come back, he won't be back at night." The butler explained to Qiao Yifan with a smile.

"Did he not come back often before? "Also, if he doesn't go home, where will he go to rest at night?" After listening to the butler's explanation, Qiao Yifan did not become enlightened. Instead, the doubt in his heart became even stronger.

For a moment, Qiao Yifan felt that his understanding of Lu Qing was simply too little.

Thus, he rushed towards the butler and asked a few questions in one go.

"Oh, yes, Mr. Lu rarely comes back. Under normal circumstances, there are a lot of things in the company. After Mr. Lu is done, he will sleep in the company, or he will spend the night in an apartment near the city center." The butler patiently explained to Qiao Yifan. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said, "That's right, and sometimes, Mr. Lu also goes to the hotel to sleep."

After listening to the butler's explanation, Qiao Yifan's heart instantly felt much better.

Often not coming back?

So it turned out that Lu Qing did not come back because she was here tonight. This was just a habit of his.

Qiao Yifan silently comforted himself and explained.

Little did he know that it was because Qiao Yifan was here tonight that Lu Qingzhen had not returned.

It wasn't that he didn't want to see her; on the contrary, he wanted to see her.

However, everything happened too quickly. Lu Qing felt that he needed to give each other some time to calm down, and also needed to give himself some time to slow down …
