"Heh, it looks like a lot, but it doesn’t last long."
Yun Zijin herself wasn’t addicted to tea, but she couldn’t resist how delicious the Lingwu tea was. She often found herself brewing a cup just for pleasure.
Lu Yunque saw the look on Yun Zijin’s face and knew she was a little embarrassed at having been found out.
After all, she had just said her stock was low, but now the open cabinet revealed it was completely full. She was basically eating her own words.
Fortunately, with Yan Shutang’s limited savings, he hadn’t dared to buy too much. Otherwise, if he brought it all home, who knows what his wife would have to say about it.
"Uncle Yan, I have to get to work, and Zijin has class soon. If there’s nothing else, we should probably be heading out."
Lu Yunque glanced at his watch. It was nearly 9:00 AM.
He would definitely be late to the office at this hour, but Lu Yunque had the foresight to call Assistant Mo and let him know he would be arriving late at the Lu Family company today.
As for Yun Zijin, her third class of the day was in the morning. She needed to start getting ready at 9:00. If she left around 9:30, she would have just enough time to get to campus, find the building, and locate her classroom.
Yan Shutang also checked the time and realized he had been at Yun Zijin’s for quite a while.
"There’s nothing else. Just remember to get me that auction invitation."
Yan Shutang patted Lu Yunque on the shoulder.
"Don’t worry, I’ll get the invitation to you as soon as I can."
Since Yan Shutang had come all the way here to ask, Lu Yunque certainly couldn’t just ignore the request.
Yun Zijin was about to walk Yan Shutang downstairs with them, but Lu Yunque stopped her.
"I’ll see Uncle Yan out. I’m heading straight to work from there anyway."
Since Yun Zijin had class, Lu Yunque wouldn’t ask her to skip it just to accompany him to the Lu Family offices.
"Alright. Be safe, you two."
Lu Yunque nodded earnestly, gave Yun Zijin’s delicate hand a gentle squeeze, and then left with Yan Shutang.
A maid followed them out to call the elevator.
Neither Lu Yunque nor Yan Shutang had an access card for the Jade Lake building, let alone facial recognition access, so they needed Yun Zijin or one of the maids to operate the elevator for them.
Only after Lu Yunque and Yan Shutang had both left did Yun Zijin let out a small sigh of relief.
’I’m really not good at hosting guests. I’m always afraid I won’t do a good enough job.’
’It might give people unnecessary, mistaken ideas about me.’
Not long after they left, Yun Zijin’s phone rang.
She thought it might be Lu Yunque or Yan Shutang calling about something they’d forgotten, but a glance at the caller ID showed it was Fan Qingmao, the CEO of Yuepin Media Co., Ltd., with whom she had spoken on the phone once before.
The man who came from the mountains and whose life story read like a cheat code.
Yun Zijin didn’t really want to answer, but then she remembered that she was, after all, Yuepin Media’s second-largest shareholder, so she picked up the call.
Fan Qingmao wasn’t like the Xia family father and son; Yun Zijin wouldn’t just block his number without a second thought.
’He’s working for me, after all. I should probably throw him a bone now and then.’
"Hello?"
In the CEO’s office at Yuepin Media, Fan Qingmao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Yun Zijin answer the phone.
He had made a bold promise to Chairman Yu Zejian, and if he hadn’t managed to get through to her today, he wouldn’t have had a moment’s peace for a long time.
"Hello, Chairman Yun. This is Fan Qingmao, the CEO of Yuepin Media. We spoke on the phone once before."
This time, Fan Qingmao’s tone carried a hint of reverence.
"I know. What can I do for you?"
’Didn’t I make it clear that I wouldn’t attend any pointless shareholder meetings unless it was absolutely necessary?’
