Shocking! A master of metaphysics has been mind-reading!

At 8:40, Lu Qiu's alarm clock rang. He got up, washed up, and left the break room. It was exactly 9:00, the start time for work.

Lu Qiu glanced at Xia Wange, who was still fast asleep on the office sofa with her head covered, and twirled the thin blanket in her hand. Afraid of waking her, she gently placed the blanket on the outside of the sofa.

After finishing all that, he sat down at his desk and began processing various documents and unprocessed procedures.

After correcting a few of the random replies he had read while waiting for the underworld messengers yesterday, Lu Qiu sorted everything out and officially began to get into work mode.

As usual, Assistant Xu entered Lu Qiu's office with his tablet. When he saw that there was someone in the office, he was stunned for a moment. After judging from the clothes and figure that it was Master Xia, he calmed down.

As long as it's Master Xia, no matter how outrageous the thing is, it all seems reasonable. Even the jade ornaments scattered all over President Lu's office seem more and more reasonable the more you look at them.

In just over a day, their CEO Lu has already gotten used to placing his phone on that jade toad, and he can also casually put things he doesn't want to wear in his pocket or place them around him. The only thing he always wears are those two jade bracelets.

But it really is beautiful.

Assistant Xu approached, intending to report to Lu Qiu on today's meetings and itinerary. Before speaking, he pointed towards the sofa.

"It's alright, speak normally, she can't hear you." Lu Qiu pinched the bridge of his nose and pressed the intercom, "Could you please send in a cup of espresso?"

After thinking for a moment, he took out a key and instructed, "Have someone go to the intersection of Xingfu Road and Wuai Road and take a motorcycle... for maintenance."

Assistant Xu nodded: "Okay."

When Zhang Yue, the secretary who brought in the espresso, saw a woman lying on the sofa in Lu Qiu's office, she was momentarily surprised. However, when she saw Assistant Xu and Lu Qiu with calm expressions, she recognized her as Xia Wange and was no longer surprised.

As long as someone is a master, anything they do is normal.

Even if it's like shitting on President Lu's head...

After reporting some important matters, Assistant Xu noticed that Lu Qiu was constantly rubbing his temples and looked tired, so he asked with concern, "Mr. Lu, do you need to rest for a bit?"

"It's nothing, I was just busy all night. Let's continue."

So Assistant Xu opened Lu Qiu's public WeChat account, glanced at the first message, and found it was a one-minute voice message. He habitually turned on his Bluetooth headphones and started listening.

"Oh, Mr. Lu, I'm so sorry. I really had something come up yesterday that delayed our cooperation. I'm truly sorry. I feel really bad about it too. How about... how about you could come over tomorrow? Our team can explain the product and some follow-up matters to you. We were originally supposed to come to your place, but they said they couldn't move some things, so it would be troublesome for you to come in person. Can we schedule it for tomorrow? Tomorrow is fine. Oh, any time tomorrow is fine. Just tell us a time and we'll definitely accommodate you."

After listening, Assistant Xu said, "Mr. Ming said he was very sorry for breaking our appointment yesterday and hopes that you can take some time tomorrow to visit and discuss things with his company again."

Lu Qiu looked at the contract on the computer screen and said quickly, "Schedule it for 2 PM tomorrow. Subtly imply that changing the time this time won't happen again, in your own words."

"Okay," Assistant Xu replied quickly.

[Hello Mr. Ming, this is Mr. Lu's assistant. Mr. Lu is in a meeting and cannot reply to you right now. However, he values ​​your company highly and does not want to miss out on this opportunity again, so he has asked me to communicate with you on his behalf. Mr. Lu said that if there are no issues on your end, the meeting can be scheduled for 2 PM tomorrow.]

[Mr. Ming, I know your company is powerful, so I'm just letting you in on a private conversation. Mr. Lu's schedule is very full, and if we have to change the dates again, he might choose another company.]

Mr. Ming replied quickly, again via voice message.

"Okay, okay, that's fine. Two points, I understand, that's okay."

Assistant Xu returned a handshake emoji, realizing the other party was still half asleep. After finishing this, he used his own number to set a time with President Ming's secretary.

After finishing these tasks, Assistant Xu opened the next chat window. After glancing at it, his eyes widened suddenly. He scanned Xia Wange and Lu Qiu several times before clearing his throat and saying, "President Lu, Mr. Qian from the Lake Bay Hotel said that the penthouse suite you booked yesterday will be reserved for you indefinitely. You are welcome to visit anytime."

So that's why President Lu was busy all night, while Master Xia was fast asleep?

Although he didn't want to gossip or think too much about it.

But this gossip has been so blatantly posted! It's really hard not to overthink it!

Lu Qiu changed his posture, resting his chin on one hand as he thought about it. That suite was indeed very convenient for getting in and out of the city, and it was also close to the airport. In case Xia Wange needed him to handle some matters again in the future, it would be very convenient.

So he said, "Let's book one season first."

Assistant Xu suppressed his excitement and trembling hands, and replied, "Thank you."

Since President Lu didn't specify whose tone to use, it meant he was replying in his usual manner.

Then he noted down on his schedule the negotiations with the Lake Bay Hotel regarding booking a suite.

Lu Qiu was busy all day, and Xia Wange didn't move at all except for tugging at the thin blanket and turning over.

Du Yun, the marketing director who had just returned from a business trip several days earlier and also Lu Qiu's close friend, almost popped his eyes out when he entered the office and saw the mess of jade stones in the office.

"Holy crap, Lu Qiu, what's wrong with your taste? These things don't match your office at all!"

"Holy crap, Lu Qiu, what's that on your wrist? Are you becoming a nun or packing your dowry for your wedding?"

"What the hell?! How dare someone sleep in your office?!"

"Holy crap! It's a woman! What's going on? I was only away on a business trip for a few days, and you've really been gone for ages? You old virgin, have you finally seen the light? You look so tired, could it be that yesterday..."

"Shut up." Lu Qiu, unable to bear it any longer, threw a contract at him. "Stop talking nonsense and get to the point."

Assistant Xu kept his eyes down, seemingly lost in thought, wishing he could just disappear on the spot.

Du Yun sat down awkwardly, touching the jade carving of the Great Wall. "I heard that one of our projects is going to be a collaboration with that Mr. Ming from the west, but according to my inside information, he's been having a run of bad luck lately, with several projects losing money..."

"Thump"

A sound.

Du Yun shut his mouth. He looked at the woman who had fallen off the sofa, then at Lu Qiu who was immediately maneuvering the wheelchair in that direction. He started winking at Assistant Xu, eager to get the first scoop on the gossip.

Falling off the sofa, Xia Wange, completely half asleep, looked blankly at the people in the office. She touched the carpet beneath her, wondering why she had come out of Lu Qiu's break room, and then stood up groggily.

She stumbled, and Lu Qiu quickly caught her before letting go.

Xia Wange shook her head. "Thank you."

Lu Qiu moved back a little, "You're welcome."

"Huh?" Xia Wange patted her ears. "What did you say?"

"What the heck! Lu Qiu!" Du Yun stood up. "Although you two look good together, you don't have to find a deaf beauty just to match everything, do you?"
