Lu Bei: “?”

Why did he come out for supper? Wasn’t it better to eat bread at home? Why was he here listening to them say such hurtful words? He now suspected that his father and stepmother had set up this supper to remind him that he was a terrible student.

He didn’t want to eat supper anymore. He wanted to go home.

The three of them came to a restaurant. This kind of restaurant usually closed around eleven o’clock. They came a little late, so the restaurant was empty.

They found a quiet corner and sat down. Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Bei were hungry. After ordering a bunch of special dishes recommended by the waiter, they rubbed their hands together and waited for the dishes to be served.

Xiang Xiaoyuan took out her cell phone and counted the calories of the food. “It won’t be too late after we’re done eating. I want to go swimming to burn some calories, but if I go home too late, it won’t be convenient, right?” She was asking Lu Bei.

Above the pool was Lu Bei’s room. She was afraid that swimming too late would disturb Lu Bei’s rest, so she asked the question.

As soon as she finished speaking, the Lu father and son had different expressions. Lu Bei instantly thought of the scene from last night. “What happened yesterday, I…”

He wanted to explain what happened yesterday. He did not mean to walk out of his room at that time. He was just hungry.

Lu Wanggui understood what Xiang Xiaoyuan meant. She was just afraid that the sound of swimming would disturb Xiao Bei’s sleep, but Xiao Bei had clearly misunderstood her meaning. He was about to tell her everything that had happened last night.

Lu Wanggui calmly continued, “It’s not a matter of convenience. The temperature at night is too low. It’s better if you don’t swim. If you want to swim, I’ll wake you up tomorrow morning?”

Lu Bei’s words were suddenly interrupted, and he couldn’t respond.

Xiang Xiaoyuan quickly shook her head. “No, no. You get up too early. I can’t wake up so early.” Getting up at around six in the morning was torture for her.

The topic changed without anyone noticing. Lu Bei was baffled.

Ever since the last time they talked about the stock market, Xiang Xiaoyuan had paid attention to the stock market every day. Lu Wanggui was indeed a man of real talent. It’s not a surprise that he would become the richest man in the future.

The stocks that he recommended were all going up. Simply put, Xiang Xiaoyuan was bursting with happiness as she watched the stocks’ price increase every day. She was even fantasizing that she would earn more than 10,000 yuan a day if she continued this.

While she was fantasizing about her future, she received a message from her new colleague Paddy.

It was not a voice message that lasted more than 50 seconds, but a small composition of more than 100 words. With a glance, she knew what he was trying to say. He said that he had to work half a day today as a translator in another company’s conference and added thoughtfully:

[ Another colleague was supposed to do this job, but something came up, so she asked me to help her. She said that she would pay us for the job. Can you do it?” ]

Xiang Xiaoyuan: [ Of course. ]

No wonder she had a good feeling about this company, who wouldn’t like such a work atmosphere? The company where she worked before she transmigrated was also very good, but if a colleague took a leave of absence at the last minute, the work would fall on other people and they wouldn’t be compensated.

Although no one could guarantee that they wouldn’t have something that came up suddenly, others wouldn’t like the sudden increase in workload. But the colleagues in this company were really nice. She took a temporary leave of absence and asked other colleagues to help her with her work, and promised to compensate them!

This made Xiang Xiaoyuan sigh again, “This world in the novel is so nice”

In the afternoon, she arrived on time at the company address sent by Paddy on Wechat. Paddy was already waiting at the company entrance when he saw her coming, he said, “Wait a moment, there’s an important document that hasn’t been brought over yet. The company has sent someone over to deliver it. It should be arriving soon.”

Just as he said that, a figure ran over from afar. When Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Bei’s eyes met, the two of them could not help but widen their eyes.

What was going on?!

The two of them had a face full of question marks. However, at this moment, they tacitly restrained their expressions. Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Bei had not known each other for a long time, but they had understood each other. At this moment, the two of them looked away, not letting Paddy notice anything unusual.

Lu Bei handed over the document in his hand. “Brother Wu, this is the document you asked for.”

His forehead was full of sweat. It was obvious that he had run all the way here.

Paddy was a good person. He took out his phone and transferred 100 yuan to Lu Bei. “It’s been hard on you. It’s a hot day, buy a cold drink to cool yourself down..”
