Chapter 272: No Turning Back

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Qingye did not pay much attention to Meng Chuyuan’s situation and let her do whatever she wanted.

Ordinary non-professionals could not bear to read such a report, but Meng Chuyuan had no intention of giving up.

Meng Chuyuan took up several reports at the same time and compared their corresponding data. Then, she slowly memorized them.

When Lu Qingye turned off the computer and was about to look at the report on the table, he realized that Meng Chuyuan was still persisting and reading it especially seriously.

Initially, he thought that Meng Chuyuan would not last more than two minutes. He did not expect her to be so engrossed in reading them.

Lu Qingye shifted his seat and took the initiative to sit beside her. He glanced at the report in her hand and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

He saw that she was holding two reports and comparing them at the same time. She seemed to have some clue about the data.

Meng Chuyuan took the report in her hand and came over to read it with Lu Qingye.

Lu Qingye could tell at a glance the type of report Meng Chuyuan was holding.

He reached out and grabbed the other end of the paper, flattening the downward end so that he could view more data.

Then, Meng Chuyuan reached out her hand and pointed at the data column. “I realized that the operating funds here seem to be quite large. There should be no problem with the financial situation. It’s quite stable.”

Lu Qingye was slightly stunned. He tilted his head and looked at Meng Chuyuan’s side profile.

Perhaps because he did not respond, Meng Chuyuan also raised her head curiously and looked in Lu Qingye’s direction.

Meng Chuyuan saw the subtle change in Lu Qingye’s expression and frowned. She looked down at the report in her hand to confirm it.

Her gaze switched between Lu Qingye and the report. Seeing that Lu Qingye did not say anything, Meng Chuyuan began to doubt herself.

Was she wrong?

Meng Chuyuan frowned and muttered to herself, “Did I see wrongly?”

At first, she had looked through several documents. In fact, she wanted to find the same English vocabulary among them. This might help her better guess what it meant. At this moment, Meng Chuyuan felt that there could have been a problem in this aspect.

Just as Meng Chuyuan thought that her memory was muddled and she had accidentally took the wrong report, Lu Qingye suddenly said, “You didn’t see wrongly.”

“…” Meng Chuyuan was slightly stunned. She raised her head and glanced at Lu Qingye without any expression.

Lu Qingye looked down at the document in his hand and read all the data in the table carefully.

He raised his head and looked at Meng Chuyuan in disbelief. “How are you reading this? Did you take a double degree?”

“No.” Meng Chuyuan explained to him, “I saw the company’s financial statements at Secretary Zheng’s place last time, so I can understand a little.”

Other than the numbers on these overseas reports, the professional terms in the other sections were unfamiliar to Meng Chuyuan. She could only guess based on her intuition.

Now it seemed that she had guessed correctly.

After a while, Meng Chuyuan handed Lu Qingye a document. “This is the profit list. Take a look at it too.”

Meng Chuyuan did not know most of the data. When she could not explain it, Lu Qingye would tell her carefully.

The two of them cooperated tacitly. They analyzed the data on the report and quickly finished reading the documents.

“It’s finally over.” Meng Chuyuan came out of her working state and the smile returned to her face.

She tidied up the documents in her hand and placed them back on the table.

Meng Chuyuan immersed herself in experiencing Lu Qingye’s work. She felt a sense of accomplishment after reading the reports.

However, if this continued for a long time, she might not be able to be as meticulous and calm as Lu Qingye and read every document seriously.

Lu Qingye looked at the time. It was already past eleven o’clock.

Usually, Lu Qingye would be busy until midnight when he was alone. This time was considered early for him, but Meng Chuyuan was different. She was more used to sleeping early and waking up early.

“What time are you leaving tomorrow?” At the thought of Meng Chuyuan’s flight tomorrow, a sudden sense of guilt crept into his heart.

“Ten o’clock tomorrow morning.” In fact, she had only spent the day at Lu Qingye’s place and the rest of the time on the plane. However, she was quite happy.

The first time she went abroad, the first time she went skiing. These were all beautiful memories for Meng Chuyuan. It could be considered a small gain.

“So early?”

She nodded. “That’s right. I think the only direct flight is at 10 am tomorrow morning. It won’t delay the recording of the variety show.”

Meng Chuyuan bought the tickets to the city where the next variety show would be filmed. She planned to film the variety show as soon as she landed. She would take off at ten in the morning and the plane would land at eight the next day.

By then, it would probably take her an hour or two to reach her final destination by car.

She thought that she could record with Lu Jinsen and the rest at this time.

Lu Qingye was a little puzzled. “Do you have to make it so hard for yourself? Not even a moment of rest?”

After a flight of more than ten hours, she had to rush to the live-stream after getting off the plane. Then, the variety show recording would last for a day…

Coincidentally, they went skiing today. He was worried that Meng Chuyuan would have soreness all over her body when he woke up the next day.

“I can’t help it. If I’m late, I’ll be accused of acting like a big shot.” After Meng Chuyuan became half a public figure, she realized that the netizens could no longer tolerate an ordinary person making mistakes.

“Since when do you care about these things?”

Meng Chuyuan smiled calmly. “I can accept the misunderstanding, but I can’t stand their nonsense.”

This was because she really could not understand the netizens’ confusing behavior. They could clearly just swipe past the videos if they did not like it, but they would repeatedly jump out, craving validation from others’ regarding their point of view.

Lu Qingye actually felt sorry for her. She had always taken responsibility for her own problems and never troubled others.

Ever since he brought Meng Chuyuan to his side, she had suffered too much from gossip.

Actually, he had known Meng Chuyuan for more than six years. They had not seen each other much in these years.

At that time, Lu Qingye had just graduated and taken over the company. Since the chairman was his biological father, he had been appointed as the CEO of Lu Group.

He was still young. With his high-education diploma, he could not gain the trust of the shareholders because they only looked at his resume.

In order to gain a foothold in the company, Lu Qingye spent almost every day working. He often went out into the field for the company.

Meng Chuyuan’s car accident made her stay in the hospital for more than two months. During that time, Lu Qingye was so busy that he could not leave, but he would send Assistant Yang to visit her.

Later, when Meng Chuyuan was discharged from the hospital, Lu Qingye took the time to come over. He knew that Meng Chuyuan was from another city and did not have any family. At that time, he saw that Meng Chuyuan was still young, so he persuaded her to go to school.

The two of them were busy with their own matters. Over the years, they had been in contact on and off, and their communication frequency after registering their marriage was almost the same.

They were already used to this comfortable way of getting along, and outsiders were spreading rumors that Meng Chuyuan had become an abandoned wife after marrying into a wealthy family. It was simply groundless.

Meng Chuyuan participated in the variety show recording. Because she was the “abandoned wife of a wealthy family”, everyone wanted to step on her.

She had always been herself, but in the end, she had become the target of the netizens’ comments.

Lu Qingye furrowed his brows and a sad expression appeared in his eyes. He suddenly turned to look at Meng Chuyuan and said faintly, “Why don’t…”

“Shh, stop talking.” Meng Chuyuan gestured for him to keep quiet. After he shut up, she slowly opened her mouth. “There’s no turning back..”
