Chapter 96 Video Calls
Out of curiosity, Meng Chuyuan deliberately stepped forward to have a look.

That thing was placed next to the pen holder, surrounded by a pile of documents stacked high, if Meng Chuyuan hadn't walked over to look at the French windows just now, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

It was an old retro pocket watch. Its appearance had lost its luster. It must have been a few years old. It was a little out of place on this desk, so it attracted Meng Chuyuan's attention.

She had never seen such an ancient thing, so she carefully picked it up to look at it. She gently pushed the watch cover away, but she didn't expect that the second hand inside was really moving.

"What are you looking at?" Just then Mother Lu came over.

Seeing Meng Chuyuan holding Lu Qingye's pocket watch, Mother Lu's expression suddenly became a little more sad.

She took the pocket watch from Meng Chuyuan's hand, her eyes were slightly rosy, and she sighed: "This is the relic of Ah Ye's grandfather."

She is an incompetent mother.

This husband is busy with work every day, and she feels tired looking after the children at home, so she often takes Lu Qingye back to her mother's house to visit. Every time she goes back, she always complains to her father that life after marriage is so hard.

Father Lin asked her to find something to do, don't act like a resentful woman every day, and is willing to take care of her children.

But Meng Chuyuan has already understood, and she can basically understand the data on that report, and probably knows the company's business situation last month.

Busy until noon, Lu's mother was already hungry, so she picked up her mobile phone to order takeaway, and ordered one for Meng Chuyuan by the way.

She looked white and thin, and she was young, but she really looked like a strong professional woman in that little suit.

"Mom, I very much agree with what grandpa said, we must live a happy life." Meng Chuyuan put his hands on Lu's mother's shoulders and comforted him: "But we can't keep thinking about the past, advancing with the times is our life way."

As Mother Lu was talking, she suddenly smiled bitterly, "He was less than ten years old at that time."

Mother Lu narrowed her eyes and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

He has to put his younger brother to sleep every day, and he also comforts his newborn younger sister. When he sees his mother crying secretly, he will go over and wipe her tears.

After the takeaway arrived, Secretary Zheng left the office temporarily, and then let them eat with peace of mind.

Meng Chuyuan showed a helpless face, and she said lightly: "If you want to go back, then go back."

At this time, Meng Chuyuan was rushing over here, and when everyone saw her appearance, they immediately fell silent.

Hearing something related to work, Lu's mother asked in a daze, "What did he just say?"

……

"Did you understand what Secretary Zheng said just now?"

So she still maintains the state of a girl now, just like when she was young, she eats, drinks and plays a lot.

She wasn't listening.

Secretary Zheng probably saw that she was at a loss, and said with a smile, "Boss Lu will connect via video later, as long as you are present."

Mother Lu opened the takeaway, took a portion by herself, opened the lunch box and picked up a mouthful of rice with chopsticks, and said vaguely: "When are we going back?"

Hearing that Meng Chuyuan would participate in this meeting, the employees who came to the meeting were all in high spirits, and they wanted to leave a good impression on the proprietress.

Meng Chuyuan read the monthly report all morning instead of Lu Qingye, and the secretary was next to her and explained the corresponding data to her intimately.

The moment Meng Chuyuan walked in from the door, everyone's eyes were attracted by her.

"Okay." Meng Chuyuan put down the documents in his hand and followed him to the conference room.

"My dad passed away from cancer in the year I gave birth to my third child. During my postpartum depression period, it was Ah Ye who took care of me and his younger siblings..."

"Mom?" Meng Chuyuan called her several times before she came back to her senses.

She didn't figure out anything when she first came here, and she didn't even recognize the representatives of some departments, so the meeting was called off?

Originally, Lu Qingye's original intention was to let his mother and Meng Chuyuan come to the conference room together, and organize a small meeting with the heads of various departments, and introduce their identities to everyone by the way, so as to actively cooperate with the rest of the work.

So Lu Qingye was basically brought up by his grandfather when he was young. He was not only smart, but also more sensible than other children of his age. His grandfather taught him a lot in private.

As for the role of mother, it is probably the biggest failure in her life.

Anyway, she doesn't know anything, and it's useless to stay here.

Mother Lu: "My dad said, I shouldn't be like a resentful woman, do whatever I want, and live a happy life."

Mother Lu has played for most of her life. Now that her children have grown up, she is about to reach the age of enjoying happiness. Although the lost youth will not come back, she can still live a fulfilling life in the remaining days.

"Advancing with the times?"

She is wearing a small white suit today, tied with a low ponytail, her skin is as white as a porcelain doll, and the light makeup on her face makes her deer eyes more bright and charming.

Mother Lu thought for a while, and said, "How about I go back later and you stay here?"

"That's right, you can't go on like this in a daze, can you? Do something meaningful, and you will find your own value in life."

Mother Lu smiled happily: "Then I'll leave it to you, I'll go back and catch up on sleep."

"It's so boring here." In these short few hours, it seemed like a century had passed.

Mother Lu looked at Meng Chuyuan expectantly, hoping that she would agree to her request.

Lu Qingye was still a child at that time, he knew that his grandfather had left, and he was sadder than anyone else at that time, but in front of his mother, he was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.

Meng Chuyuan feels that some things cannot be forced, but must go with the flow.

Because Mother Lu couldn't understand, she directly chose to put it badly, and stared at the data in the form and started to feel sleepy.

Who knew Lu's mother would slip away early after lunch, leaving Meng Chuyuan here to clean up the mess.

Meng Chuyuan didn't understand: "Shall I drive?"

Both she and Mother Lu were on the job for the first time, so it took a process of adaptation.

"Mom, we didn't stay long, it's not appropriate to go back now, don't worry, okay?"

Secretary Zheng: "Madam, Mr. Lu asked me to tell you that we will have a meeting in the conference room in half an hour."

"..."

After the lunch break, Secretary Zheng returned to the office again and found that only Meng Chuyuan was in the room.

"So it is."

Half an hour later, Secretary Zheng reminded Meng Chuyuan to go to the meeting: "Madam, it's time for the meeting."

After Meng Chuyuan came in, he greeted politely: "Good afternoon, everyone."

Seeing Meng Chuyuan's enthusiasm, everyone replied in unison: "Hello, Mrs. Lu."

Secretary Zheng thoughtfully pushed Meng Chuyuan's chair away, and when she sat down with everyone, the meeting officially began.

Lu Qingye checked the time over there, waiting for Secretary Zheng to send a message that everyone had arrived, and his video call popped up on the public screen after a while.
