Chapter 59: He Began to be Interested In Her
On the other hand, Wei Zihang’s situation was not much better than his.
First, An Yu had asked him for help before calling Lu Bei to confess her mistake. This was because she did not trust his ability. Second, he was worried about Lu Bei’s simple and stupid decision, having a friend who was too good-natured and did not fight for anything was also very troublesome.
He felt that he would really worry himself to death. No wonder his stepmother looked so good and lively when he last saw her. She looked like she was ten years younger. Thinking about it, it made sense. Who would not be happy to have such a stupid stepson?
She had gotten so many assets with no effort at all.
Thinking about Xiang Xiaoyuan’s future wealth, Wei Zihang felt that he did not have the mood to support her convenience store anymore. He was like a beggar giving money to a millionaire. What the f * ck!
Thinking of this, he decisively picked up his phone and sent a message to Li Hai: [ That job is done. Don’t look for people anymore. Also, return half of the money I transferred to you. ]
Wasn’t it just to support her? It was fine if he went to support her alone. It was better than spending 30,000 to 40,000 yuan to hire people to support her!
Wouldn’t it be better if he used the money to buy more games?
Li Hai: [ ? ? ? ]
Are you kidding me?
…
For minors like Lu Bei and Wei Zihang, it was as if the sky had collapsed. However, for adults like Xiang Xiaoyuan, what they thought was a big deal was not even worth mentioning.
Xiang Xiaoyuan went to bed early to play with her phone. Lu Wanggui went to the study as usual to deal with business. Around 10 o’clock in the evening, Assistant Gao called.
“CEO Lu, there’s a meeting at Binjiang Science and Technology Park. Are you going to attend it? CEO Zhao and Director Zhang will also be there.”
“Sure.”
These kinds of projects that required cooperation between different departments were all important projects, so he had to pay more attention.
“Okay.” Assistant Gao wrote down the schedule. “Then I’ll let them know tomorrow.”
Gao Yuan knew Lu Wanggui’s habits very well. He didn’t like to waste time. Every time he called Lu Wanggui, he would go over the report in his heart and try to express things clearly in the simplest words. He was also used to hanging up after the report was over, not wasting his boss’ time.
It was the same this time. After the report was over, he politely said goodbye and was about to hang up the phone, but Lu Wanggui stopped him. “I have something to ask you.”
Assistant Gao retracted his finger that was placed on the hang-up button. “Please.”
Lu Wanggui lowered his gaze and unintentionally flicked the pen in his hand. He asked casually, “What happened to the matter about the parent representative that you mentioned earlier?”
He usually did not pay much attention to matters outside of work. Even if he had specifically called Xiang Xiaoyuan to tell him about the parent representative, he did not take it to heart. He didn’t think that being a parent’s representative would bring him any trouble. He was also confident that even if she caused any trouble, he would be able to settle it.
But he suddenly became interested in this matter.
Gao Yuan was a little surprised. He ran through the possibilities in his heart a few times. Could it be that his wife regretted not wanting to be a parent’s representative? Did she complain to CEO Lu?
His heart trembled, he explained clearly and concisely. “The parent representative was elected by the parents to supervise the school. Because the other parents were too busy with work and didn’t have time, Madam wanted to give it a try.” He paused, then continued, “In order to express their gratitude, the parents raised funds and transferred more than 800,000 yuan to Madam. Madam didn’t really want to accept it, so the parents transferred the money to me, and I transferred it to her.”
Gao Yuan said this to remind Lu Wanggui that once he received the money, she had to do it. If Madam quit, those parents would definitely be unhappy. Madam had just entered the Lu family, so it was not good to make enemies…
Lu Wanggui was deep in thought. “More than 800,000 yuan? Raised funds?”
He remembered something about this. Xiang Xiaoyuan seemed to have called him to mention it.
Gao Yuan: “It can be considered as a thank-you payment. After all, Madam has solved a huge problem for the parents. The parents originally wanted to prepare a gift, but they did not know Madam’s preferences.”
“I see.”
Lu Wanggui recalled Xiang Xiaoyuan’s sparkling eyes when she told him about making money. He suddenly realized that he had misunderstood.
She opened the shop to make money, and being a parent representative was also for money. Even when it was raining heavily that day, he mistakenly thought that she was going out to look for Xiao Bei… but in reality, she was worried about the renovation materials for the shop.
“Did you transfer the 800,000 yuan into her account?” Lu Wanggui asked.
Gao Yuan nodded. “Yes, I’ve already done that.”
Lu Wanggui let out a soft grunt. He was now a little curious about how much money she could earn… he was also curious about why she was so eager to earn money.
