144: Fortunately, There Was Xiang Xiaoyuan!

Fortunately, There Was Xiang Xiaoyuan!

Lu Wanggui inspected the company. When he was done, more than an hour had passed. It just so happened that there wasn't much time left for the next meeting, the company manager reluctantly sent Lu Wanggui away.2

Lu Wanggui walked out of the company. The sun was scorching hot above his head. He looked around casually and saw a few people in overalls moving goods not far away. He stopped in his tracks.

The manager followed his line of sight and hurriedly explained, "These are the few porters hired by the company."

Lu Wanggui smiled and nodded. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and recognized his son, Lu Bei, in the crowd in one glance.

Lu Bei was not used to it at the beginning, but now that he could move goods without panting, it proved that he had indeed grown a lot in this job.

Lu Wanggui gazed at him deeply. When he was Lu Bei's age, he had done a lot more work than Lu Bei, so others might feel sorry for his child, but he would not.

He would not ask his child to walk the path he had walked, nor did he think of letting his son taste all the hardships he had experienced. He would do his best to give his son the best life.

But if his son wanted to earn his own living, he would not stop him. Unlike what Xiang Xiaoyuan had expected, Lu Wanggui had never treated Lu Bei's words as a joke. In his heart, the only requirement he had for his son was that he keep his word.

Since Lu Bei had spoken out, he could not go back on his words.

Lu Bei was drenched in sweat. He looked up to wipe his sweat and saw his father. In an instant, in order to prove that he could do it, Lu Bei moved the goods even more vigorously. He could move two or even three boxes by himself.

Lu Wanggui only took a few glances before he retracted his gaze. He raised his hand to look at his watch and politely said goodbye to the manager, "Thank you for your hard work. I still have a meeting to attend in a while. I'll come again next time if there is time. We'll have a good chat then."

The smile on the manager's face became even more cordial. "CEO Lu, you are too polite. This is what I should do."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lu Wanggui got into the car and left.

The manager stood where he was and sighed. "I didn't expect to see CEO Lu today."

The people behind him also sighed. "I didn't expect CEO Lu to be so approachable!"

Lu Wanggui sat in the back seat. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "There should be a bonus for the summer workers in the next few months, right?"

Gao Yuan thought for a moment and nodded. "Yes."

Lu Wanggui nodded.

Gao Yuan scratched his head. He couldn't figure out what he meant. CEO Lu must be feeling sorry for his son, right?

Then…

Gao Yuan asked tentatively, "Should I inform the manager to increase the bonus this year?"

"No need."

Lu Wanggui said, "It's not as warm this year."

Gao Yuan: "..."

It was his mistake to think that CEO Lu felt sorry for his son.

Gao Yuan had been by Lu Wanggui's side for a few years, and he handled both business and personal matters. He knew that Lu Wanggui and Lu Bei did not have a good relationship, and he had thought about resolving it, but he had no idea how to.

Lu Bei hoped to get CEO Lu's attention. However, Lu Bei was not the type to take the initiative. Based on his "If you don't talk to me, I won't talk to you" attitude, he only thought that like father like son, their personalities were extremely similar.

Lu Bei did not talk much, and CEO Lu even less. Both of them had a passive personality. If no one took the initiative to speak, they could always remain silent.

It wasn't that the father and son couldn't reconcile. What deep hatred could there be between father and son? Many misunderstandings in this world could be resolved through communication. If the misunderstandings weren't resolved, it was because they didn't talk.

Gao Yuan couldn't pry open the father and son's mouths, but it didn't matter. Someone could!

It was Xiang Xiaoyuan!

Xiang Xiaoyuan was a talkative person. Not only did she talk a lot, she was also very good at talking. Gao Yuan felt relieved. He felt that as long as Madam was still in the Lu family, the relationship between CEO Lu and Lu Bei could be mended.

Xiang Xiaoyuan's working hours were short. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, she was ready to leave work. She was going to have a manicure and a barbecue with Yang Liu. The two of them agreed to meet at a mall in the city center. After Xiang Xiaoyuan parked her car in the underground parking lot, she found Yang Liu in the supermarket on the ground floor.

There were not many people in the supermarket at this time. Yang Liu was pushing the shopping cart and she looked apologetic. "I'm sorry, Xiaoyuan. I was going to invite you to have a manicure today. I had already made an appointment. I didn't expect them to cancel and change it to another day."
