“Can I name any price? Then I won’t be polite with you.” Only a fool would let go of an opportunity to exploit a capitalist.

Lu Wanggui could not hide the smile on his face. “Okay, name your price.”

His obedience made Xiang Xiaoyuan lose her self-restraint. She opened her mouth like a lion, but just as the words were on the tip of her tongue, she controlled herself. She raised her finger and raised one finger. “This much.”

She wanted Lu Wanggui to use his imagination.

Lu Wanggui knew her very well, so he pretended to be puzzled and said, “Ten thousand a minute?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “! ! !”

What she had in mind was indeed too little!

In her mind, a hundred yuan a minute was already a lot, CEO Lu directly set a price of ten thousand yuan a minute!

As the saying goes, “The bolder they are, the richer they get.” Xiang Xiaoyuan felt that she could push her luck, so she did not nod or shake her head. The liveliness in her eyes could not be hidden.

Lu Wanggui, who had always been tactful, continued to raise the price. “Not enough? Then 100,000 yuan?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan wanted to agree immediately. 100,000 yuan per minute. She had never felt that her time was so valuable in her life!

She was afraid that he would suddenly regret, but she didn’t want to appear too eager, so she nodded in a reserved manner. “That’s enough.”

At this moment, she hoped that Lu Wanggui could work overtime today. It didn’t matter if he worked until the end of time. She could always wait.

Lu Wanggui found it funny. His usual gentle face was filled with a smile. “Then it’s settled. We’ll start counting after 5:30.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded and added considerately, “It’s okay. I can wait for you for a while. I don’t have anything else to do anyway, so there’s no rush.”

“Okay.”

Lu Wanggui nodded. He thought that even if he could get off work earlier today, he wouldn’t. He wanted her to be happy.

This was the first time Xiang Xiaoyuan felt that waiting for someone wasn’t painful. On the contrary, it was filled with joy.

In the past, she hated waiting for people the most. Before she transmigrated, she had accompanied a certain boyfriend to work overtime. However, that was the first and last time. From then on, she didn’t want to accompany him to work overtime anymore.

This was because it was too boring. Although she could use her phone, it felt different compared to staying at home. After all, she was in someone else’s office. Regardless of the situation, it was uncomfortable, like sitting on pins and needles. If she was at home, she could lie in bed and play with her phone, or she could watch TV. But in the office, she felt like running away at any moment!

But now, Lu Wanggui had used his money to convince her.

Waiting for someone was no longer a tiresome thing for her. She held her phone and occasionally chatted with Yang Liu, or scrolled through Weibo to read the gossip of celebrities.

Once Lu Wanggui entered his working state, he was very serious and focused. His years of work experience allowed him to manage the time well. When it was one minute past 5:30, all the work was done. He simply tidied up the table before looking up at Xiang Xiaoyuan, who was sitting on the sofa.

Today, Xiang Xiaoyuan was wearing a light apricot-colored knitted long skirt that hugged her curves. Her collar was slightly lower, revealing her exquisite collarbone. Her posture was not upright, and even seemed a little lazy. However, no matter how one looked at her, she was pleasing to the eye.

One of her hands was lazily propping up her face. She was looking down at her phone screen attentively. She seemed to be looking at something interesting. Her lips curled up slightly and her eyes were smiling.

She did not notice Lu Wanggui looking at her.

Sometimes, Lu Wanggui felt that the attention he paid to her had exceeded the normal amount. According to his personality, he would definitely restrain himself. After all, he could tell what was important to him and what was not.

Perhaps it was because of his age. If he met Xiang Xiaoyuan in his twenties or even thirties, he would definitely restrain himself because he knew what was most important to him at this stage, which was work.

At that time, he was busy with work. Even if he had other thoughts, it would be difficult for him to find time to deal with his personal feelings. But now that his career had stabilized, he was not as busy as he was when he was thirty.

Lu Wanggui lowered his head to look at his watch. He thought that it was about time, so he coughed softly to attract Xiang Xiaoyuan’s attention.

Xiang Xiaoyuan’s first reaction was to look at the time, not Lu Wanggui. It was 5:45, so he was fifteen minutes late..
