Chapter 412: A Month Since Then

Chapter 412: A Month Since Then

"CEO, please check and sign these papers." Duan Huiling handed some papers to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen looked through the papers instantly like he was flipping through those post-it arts. He turned to Duan Huiling,

"This clause here needs to be revised. And this here needs to be more specific. It's too vague." Bit by bit, Lu Chen talked about the errors he saw.

"Understood." Duan Huiling nodded.

"What else is there for me to do?"

"We still need to discuss with Mr. Deng on Zhang Jian's sponsorship deal." They were done with the important sections.

There were only minor things left to revise.

"I see. Set that meeting up in a week." Lu Chen said as he went back to looking at his paper. Because of the incident with Deng Yi, the cooperation with Deng Haoren shifted more in their favor.

"I understand." Duan Hualing nodded as she left the room.

With no one there besides him: Lu Chen slumped into his chair.

To think it was this long now. Lu Chen looked at the calendar. It had been a month since the Liu Fei Fei incident.

Everything felt so surreal to him. But that surrealness didn't hit him much as he had a lot of work to do.

...

"CEO, I will leave now." Duan Huiling said. It was already night outside, and all the workers returned home. But it didn't seem Lu Chen was going to leave anytime soon.

"Mmhmm. Good work." Lu Chen nodded as he went back to looking at his computer. Duan Huling frowned, wanting to say something to that.

In the end, she decided to walk away. She knew what Lu Chen would respond with.

As Lu Chen continued to work, his phone rang. He looked down to see it was none other than Feng Meifeng.

What's up?

Are you still at your company?

Yeah. Still have a lot of things to do.

Huh? It's almost midnight! Why are you still there! With that message, there was also a shocked face emoji.

Lu Chen laughed as he texted,

Just a few more minutes.

Don't give me the a few more minutes excuse! You should get a good night's sleep before you work again!!!!!

Seeing so many exclamation points, Lu Chen chuckled more. He texted back,

Alright, alright, mom. I'll leave the company.

Good ^w^.

Since when do you do emojis? Lu Chen never thought Feng Meifeng would be the type of person to use them.

Been learning how to do it for a while now. Feng Meifeng typed and then added,

Have you eaten yet?

Nope. Lu Chen was too focused on his work to think about food. The thought of food was in a different atmosphere.

Then come over to where I am right now. I'll be waiting for you there.

Lu Chen smiled.

Alright, give me a couple of minutes. Lu Chen was planning to sign some papers, but he had something better to do now.

...

This dummy. Feng Meifeng could only shake her head as she looked at what Lu Chen typed. How can you forget about dinner?

Is the marriage really weighing on your mind that much? Feng Meifeng thought. She wondered if Lu Chen was trying to drown himself at work to make him forget.

Lu Chen and Liu Fei Fei's dissolution was known to everyone. Heck! It was so big that it was even on the news!

When Feng Meifeng first heard about it on TV, her mouth gaped open from shock. But in a small part of her heart, she felt happiness and joy that the marriage was gone.

Even right now, the joy was slowly seeping out. But she quickly shook her head,

Feng Meifeng! How could you feel joy when one of your friends is probably in agony?!
