Chapter 105: Helping Mother-in-law Out

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Lu Family had many businesses in Wei City and naturally they did not miss out on this prime location. It could even be said that their businesses involved almost all kinds of industries.

Under Lu Qianling’s lead, they quickly finished shopping in the supermarket and bought some daily necessities. Then, they asked the supermarket to arrange for a delivery.

“Today, I’ll bring you to broaden your horizons and let you know how powerful our Lu family is.”

In this shopping mall, there were many brands, most of which were under the Lu family. Basically, any member of the family would be recognized after entering.

Meng Chuyuan was brought by Lu Qianling to another area that specialized in selling haute couture. Looking over, the windows were filled with luxury

goods.

As soon as she came out of the elevator, Lu Qianling stood firm and waved her hand. She said to Meng Chuyuan, “Did you see that? This is the empire my brother built for you.”

Usually, Lu Qianling would not come here when she sneaked out during class.

She was afraid that she would meet someone she knew and that they would complain to Lu Qingye.

On this rare occasion, for her to come here openly, she had to swagger in with Meng Chuyuan.

The two of them walked into a clothing store first. When the shop assistant saw Lu Qianling and Meng Chuyuan, she took the initiative to welcome them.

“Mrs. Lu, Third Miss, please come in.”

“Mrs. Lu?” Lu Qianling looked at Meng Chuyuan in surprise and asked curiously, “You’ve been here before?”

Meng Chuyuan revealed an expression that said, “I don’t know either. Don’t ask me.” In the face of a sudden situation, she would never panic.

Lu Qianling scratched her head in confusion and looked at the shop assistant beside her. “You know that she’s Mrs. Lu?”

The shop assistant said, “Mrs. Lu and Second Young Master have been recording a variety show together recently. It’s especially popular. We’re all insiders in the company. Who doesn’t know that our lady boss is Sister Meng?”

Lu Qingye’s marriage was so sudden that he did not even have time to inform his family. Currently, other than those in the wealthy circle who were more familiar with the Lu family’s situation, no one else had any channels of information.

Before Lu Jinsen debuted, in order to protect his family’s privacy, he did not report the details of his family to the company.

Although Meng Chuyuan was on a variety show and had a lot of exposure, no netizens on the Internet could find out Lu Qingye’s identity.

“How boring.”

Lu Qianling had wanted to show Meng Chuyuan around “as a host”, but she did not expect such an outcome.

However, since she was here, Meng Chuyuan also wanted to stay and take a good look.

When Meng Chuyuan went to the company to check the report that day, she saw the operating data of this shop on it. Among the many shops, the fluctuation of the data of this shop was obvious.

Coincidentally, she had the opportunity to come to the physical store today.

She wanted to see if there was still room for improvement in the data on the report.

Lu Qianling went straight to the tailor. As soon as she arrived, she asked the shop assistant to take her measurements and make her new clothes.

Meng Chuyuan walked around casually. She had also carefully observed the clothes on the clothes rack

The color combination of the clothes on the mannequin was not eye-catching enough. Just by looking at it, every piece looked especially high-end. However, as a whole, the outfit was not very outstanding. It looked a little ordinary.

The shops of ordinary brands that were slightly cheaper had more or less styled their outfits according to this standard. However, they were a high-end custom shop after all. With this standard, they naturally could not attract customers.

Meng Chuyuan came to the front desk and took the initiative to talk to the shop assistant. “Who’s styling the outfits you have on display?”

The shop assistant who was suddenly talked to was a little flattered. She took a while to recover before saying, “There’s no fixed person styling the outfits. It’s all done by us.”

Every time new clothes came in, anyone who was free would dress the mannequin with a set of the new clothing and hang the rest on the rack for customers to choose from.

Meng Chuyuan was silent for a while. Then, she asked, “Did the company give you any training on how to style clothes?”

The clerk shook his head. “No.”

“..”

There were no employees in the shop who knew how to style clothes, nor were they given any training in this area. No matter how good the clothes were, they could not attract customers.

Meng Chuyuan visited two clothing chain stores in a row and their problems were basically the same. They did not pay too much attention to details and the employees’ knowledge on styling was relatively weak.

When Meng Chuyuan returned home in the afternoon, she relayed the situation to Lu Qingye through WeChat.

She was going to film a variety show in the next few days. She knew that Lu Qingye might not be awake yet, so Meng Chuyuan reported the situation to him through WeChat.

For the time being, she could not afford to manage company matters, so she could only ask Lu Qingye to pay more attention and try to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

After dinner, Madam Lu had nothing to do. She turned on the video call and chatted with her sisters while busy knitting her scarf.

Recently, Madam Lu had been very diligent in knitting her scarf and it was almost done.

Coincidentally, there was still a little left. Madam Lu wanted to finish knitting tonight and ask Meng Chuyuan to teach her something else while she was at home.

“Juan, you haven’t come out to meet us for a few days. What are you busy with?

Don’t tell me you’ve been knitting the scarf?”

Madam Lu picked at the thread and said casually, “I’ve been very busy recently.

I’m going to inspect Old Lu’s company’s work. When I come back, I have to take care of the flowers and plants in the small courtyard. Lastly, I have to knit a

scarf.”

After hearing Madam Lu’s explanation, someone smiled and teased, “You can help Old Lu manage the company? Did I hear wrongly?”

“Why not?” Madam Lu retorted. “Old Lu isn’t the only one who trusts me. Even Ah Ye is begging me to go to the company.”

If she did not take the matter seriously, then it could naturally be passed off as a joke made between a group of close sisters.

However, if she cared, then it would really become a different matter.

This was the state of their private conversations. They could brag about their family matters hundreds of times, each with their own ulterior motives.

“Juan, you don’t have to watch what you eat, but you have to watch what you say. How could Ah Ye possibly beg you to watch over the company for him?”

In the eyes of outsiders, Lu Qingye was someone who stood at a high position. Ordinary people could not reach him at all.

They really could not imagine that Lu Qingye would beg his useless mother to manage the company.

Meng Chuyuan had just come out of the room when she heard endless laughter coming from downstairs. She walked down curiously.

When Madam Lu heard them taking turns to mock her, she flew into a rage out of humiliation. “Why not? Are you looking down on me?”

However, they were laughing so happily that they couldn’t care less about Madam Lu’s emotions.

Through their conversation, Meng Chuyuan could roughly guess what had just happened.

She walked to the sofa and sat down beside Madam Lu. Coincidentally, she also entered the view of the camera.

Meng Chuyuan looked up at the phone on the coffee table and glanced at it. Including Madam Lu, a total of five people were video calling.

After a while, she naturally placed her hand on Madam Lu’s shoulder.

Meng Chuyuan looked at the phone screen and said calmly, “Who said that our Sister Juan can’t manage the company? She’s just keeping a low profile. She knows a lot of things.”
