Chapter Ninety-Eight: You're Working Too Hard
Lu Chen walked on the stage, "Thank you, I can be here today, in fact, I wanted to have a small reception banquet, I didn't expect so many relatives, friends, and business partners to be willing to appreciate their faces, today everyone doesn't talk about work, just relax, enjoy tonight, don't be too restrained." ”
To outsiders, Lu Chen expressed his gratitude to the guests, but when Shu Mingzhu heard this, he secretly blamed her for inviting so many people over today.
"Lu Chen, I just wanted to find a few people with good relationships at first, but the news spread out somehow, there were a lot of people coming, and it could be regarded as everyone being lively together, you wouldn't mind."
"It's okay, it's also your kindness." Lu Chen pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth, in fact, he just wanted to go home now, I don't know if it was because he was tired from taking a plane for more than ten hours, or if he wanted to see what the woman was doing.
How could Shu Mingzhu go to such great lengths to have a reception dinner for such a simple reason?
She just wants everyone to know that although Lu Chen is now married, she is still the most important and influential woman around Lu Chen, so that everyone should not underestimate herself, the Miss Shu family.
After Shu Mingzhu told Lu Chen that he was going to the bathroom, he walked towards the positions of several uncles, "A few uncles are also here, you have to have fun today, don't be restrained, Lu Chen is still worried about talking to a few uncles about things, and there is no topic to start." ”
"Oh? Okay, let's go have a few drinks with him, Shu family niece, you are beautiful tonight. ”
"That's right, the most eye-catching person in the audience is the niece and daughter of the Shu family, this style is absolutely glamorous."
How can a woman not like to listen to others praise her appearance, Shu Mingzhu is no exception, covering her smiling mouth with one hand, "Thank you to a few uncles for lifting up, I don't dare to be." ”
Shu Mingzhu put down his wine glass, "A few uncles go, if Lu Chen knows that I told a few uncles about his careful thoughts, I guess I will be too talkative." ”
After speaking, Shu Mingzhu made a worried look, and several uncles laughed, "Don't worry, I won't say anything about you, a little clever ghost." ”
"Then thank you uncles, I'll go to the bathroom first." He bowed his head slightly as he spoke.
Shu Mingzhu smiled apologetically at these people, and walked over in the direction of the bathroom with her handbag.
On Lu Chen's side, according to Shu Mingzhu's assumption, several important uncles surrounded Lu Chen, chatting with him for a while, and persuading him to drink from time to time.
Originally, Lu Chen got off the plane, although his head did not feel uncomfortable as he was stable, but the international long-haul flight of more than ten hours still made Lu Chen physically and mentally exhausted, and now his biggest wish is to be able to return to the suburban villa as soon as possible, take a comfortable bath, and be able to lie on his own bed and sleep until he wakes up naturally.
But as the president of MJ Group, Lu Chen knows that many times he will encounter involuntary encounters, such as now, he really doesn't have any topics to talk to these presidents, and he really doesn't want to spend energy to deal with them, but if he just leaves like this, it will bring endless trouble to the development of MJ in the future.
Lu Chen only felt that time passed very slowly, looked at his watch secretly, and finally felt that the time was almost up, called Shu Mingzhu, and the two came to the stage together to give a speech of thanks, thanking everyone who was present today, you are all MJ's loyal partners, and you will develop together in the future.
The two stood at the door and sent away all the VIPs who came to the table, Lu Chen felt that the strength that had just been poured into the wine came up, and his head was a little dizzy, Shu Mingzhu on the side saw that Lu was already a little drunk, and wanted to reach out to support Lu Chen, but Lu Chen avoided it sideways.
Shu Mingzhu's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness, you can kiss and be stable when everyone is in the limelight, I want to hold you when no one is around, you have to refuse, I don't touch your skin, just grab your clothes and you won't let you, Lu Chen, have you changed, but this change is still out of your control, Shu Mingzhu has no bottom.
"Lu Chen, it's quite late now, why don't you go up and rest for a while?" Shu Mingzhu pointed to the top of the hotel.
Lu Chen's cheeks were slightly red, exuding the smell of wine, he tried to open his misty eyes and glanced at the hotel, "No need, I'd better go home." ”
Shu Mingzhu ignored Lu Chen's obstruction and grabbed Lu Chen's sleeve, "Lu Chen, you are drunk like this today, how can you drive back?" There was concern in her eyes, and if Lu Chen was awake, she could still see a shrewdness in her eyes.
"Yifeng... Take Kaede! What about people! "Lu Chen did drink a little too much today, and he spoke a little slowly.
"President, I'm here." Mu Yifeng came out from behind Lu Chen and Shu Mingzhu.
"Send me home, oh no, send Miss Shu home first."
"Lu Chen, you have drunk like this today, just open a room upstairs, you can rest, I can rest assured." Shu Mingzhu glared at Mu Yifeng, blaming this assistant for appearing too timely.
"Emaple! Send Miss Shu home! Lu Chen raised his voice and said it again.
Even if Lu Chen drinks a little too much now, his mind is still sober, if he really stays at the Hills Hotel today, I'm afraid the news will return to the suburban villa before himself, and although he has always liked Shu Mingzhu before, he also knows the condition of his body, so for the sake of safety, he should go home and rest.
How could Mu Yifeng, who had been following Lu Chen, not know what Lu Chen meant?
"Miss Shu, please." As he spoke, he made an inviting gesture.
Shu Mingzhu sighed, "Forget it, I just want him to have a good rest, it doesn't matter where he is." ”
Mu Yifeng's eyes rolled, this is true, anyway, Mu Yifeng didn't believe it.
"I didn't drink, let's drive back by myself, you take Lu Chen back to rest early, and pay attention to safety on the road."
Lu Chen took a step in the direction of Shu Mingzhu, and showed a long-lost smile at Shu Mingzhu, "Mingzhu, you should also go back to rest early." ”
Shu Mingzhu saw Lu Chen's smile, originally had some regretful feelings, but now it's all gone, Lu Chen is a magical person, his smile can make Shu Mingzhu laugh with him, he has a straight face, Shu Mingzhu still has to keep smiling, and try to make Lu Chen laugh, only people who fall in love will not feel hard.
"Miss Nashu, be careful on the way back when you go back, I'll send the president home first." Mu Yifeng, who was standing on the side, said.
"Hmm."
The two helped Lu Chen into the co-pilot's position, and Mu Yifeng fastened Lu Chen's seat belt.
Shu Mingzhu stood at the door of the hotel, watching Mu Yifeng drive Lu Chen away, the headlights disappeared on the ground level, Shu Mingzhu took a deep breath, today's weather was not cold, and the sun came out during the day, but at night, the night was already deep, and the warmth in the air was taken away, which made Shu Mingzhu, who was wearing a backless dress, shiver.
In the eyes of outsiders, today Lu Chen can be regarded as giving Shu Mingzhu enough face, Lu Chen is in the unknown An Wen and the eldest lady of the Shu family, although the grandfather's order cannot be disobeyed, but in the eyes of everyone, Lu Chen's female companion will always be the noble and dignified Shu Mingzhu, the eldest lady of the Shu family.
Only Shu Mingzhu herself knows that Lu Chen's subtle changes after coming into contact with stability make her worry and make her a little afraid, will one day Lu Chen fall in love with someone else and let go of himself?
No! No way! I won't let that day come.
Shu Mingzhu made a call to the driver, and instead of continuing to stand outside the hotel door, he walked indoors and waited for the driver to arrive.
On the other side, Mu Yifeng drove Lu Chen in the direction of the suburban villa.
"Yifeng, aside from my academic knowledge and family background, what do you think of me?" Lu Chen leaned his head on the back of the chair, his eyes closed, and opened half of the car window, letting the cool wind blow on his face at night, reawakening his consciousness a little.
"President, I have followed you since you took office, sometimes I think you are working too hard, and sometimes I feel sorry for you when I watch it."
Today, Lu Chen was drunk, and it was rare to chat with Mu Yifeng about work accidents.
The relationship between Lu Chen and Mu Yifeng has changed from a simple subordinate to a subordinate at the beginning, and the relationship between the working president and the assistant has now become a bit of a friend.
Hearing Mu Yifeng say that he was too hard, Lu Chen smiled, "In this society now, if you don't fight and don't rush forward, how many people behind you are eyeing you." ”
"It's not easy for the Lu family, managing the vitality of so many employees, many of them are old people who follow the Lu family, only if I keep rushing forward and constantly expanding the territory of MJ's business empire, can I fight for a bite of food under the mouth of the wolves, feed you, and feed myself."
Regardless of his family background, Lu Chen himself is just an ordinary young man, but with the hope of so many employees, Lu Chen sometimes feels tired, but his tiredness can't be seen to everyone, otherwise, those who have ideas about MJ will flock to it.
Mu Yifeng has never seen such a tired Lu Chen, Lu Chen, who appeared in front of him before, is always full of energy and energy, it seems that he has endless energy, tonight may be under the background of the night, Mu Yifeng feels that Lu Chen has an indescribable tiredness on his face, both at work and in life.
"President, you still have a virtuous helper."
Lu Chen was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and the person in his mouth was stable.
Thinking of that little woman, Lu Chen closed his eyes and smiled, as if he was holding her safely by his side, he didn't have to worry about allergic reactions, and he could hold her quietly.
"President, it's here."
While speaking, Mu Yifeng had already driven the car to the door of the suburban villa.
