Sober and beautiful, my husband and son begged for my forgiveness on their knees.

Ning Yan saw Li Lifen off first, and then went to the mall to buy a toy for Lu Mingjin. As soon as she brought it in, she saw Lu Jingmo talking to Lu Mingjin with a serious expression.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but ask, "Jingmo, what happened?"

Lu Jingmo's deep eyes were devoid of warmth as he calmly replied, "I'm asking Mingjin why she traded meals with someone."

Ning Yan's bad premonition came true, and the hand holding the toy tightened unconsciously. "It's not a big deal. You don't need to be so serious. Look, you've scared Ming Jin."

Lu Mingjin wanted to agree, but didn't dare.

Dad isn't Mom. If he tries to be unreasonable, Dad will scold him.

Lu Jingmo frowned, his eyes revealing obvious displeasure. "I'm communicating with Mingjin, and I hope you won't interfere."

Ning Yan looked a little embarrassed. "Okay, then I'll wait outside."

Before leaving, she gave Lu Mingjin a deep look.

This is a subtle hint that he shouldn't reveal his identity.

Lu Mingjin and Lu Jingmo were left alone in the room again.

Lu Mingjin was so nervous that she almost scratched her fingers raw.

Lu Jingmo noticed his little actions but didn't stop him, patiently waiting.

After struggling for a long time, Lu Mingjin finally whispered, "Dad, I was wrong. I saw that the other children were eating happily, but I wasn't, so I switched with them. I didn't expect to get sick. Dad, I'm sorry."

When Lu Jingmo heard his son admit his mistake, his tone softened unconsciously. "Dad is not blaming you. If you want to eat these things in the future, just tell Uncle Butler. Don't exchange food with others behind my back."

"Okay, Dad, I got it."

Lu Mingjin lowered her head and agreed.

In fact, he himself felt that this illness was more uncomfortable than other times, and he still felt a dull pain in his stomach.

He rarely felt this bad when his mother was taking care of him before.

But he didn't dare tell his father.

……

After leaving the hospital, Ning Yao went straight to the company. She had an appointment with the person in charge to meet in the afternoon, so she needed to hurry back and refine the sketch.

After meeting with the person in charge in the afternoon to finalize the details, she compiled all the requirements into a document and sent it to the work group, asking everyone to readjust the design according to the new drawings and proportions.

This project was different from the previous sketches. The person in charge of the event required her to follow the project from beginning to end. In other words, she was not only responsible for the design, but also for the physical realization of the design.

For a time, she was as busy as a spinning top, rushing around to various parts of Whale City.

"Sister Yaoyao, look, this is the new color scheme we received, as well as the design samples from the factory."

Wen An opened the newly received package and handed her the contents.

Ning Yao took it and examined it carefully. Although she didn't think Lu Jingmo was a very good person, she always remembered what he had reminded her of.

Everything she handled had to be carefully inspected.

"The color scheme still needs adjustment. The color looks good in the video, but did you notice that the light in the video is not natural light? This means that it would definitely have problems under natural light."

Wen An then quickly stepped forward to check, "It really is. I noticed the light earlier, but since it was an outdoor scene, I thought it was natural light."

Ning Yao paused the video and pointed to a corner, "There are reflectors and lighting tripods here."

"Okay, I'll contact the color department right away and have them re-sample it."

Ning Yao nodded, then called Xiao Xiao over, "The size and color of this sample are fine, but I feel there's something wrong with the stitching. Look, the shoulders of this T-shirt seem a bit uneven..."

Xiao Xiao didn't struggle; she immediately took the sample to the factory.

Ning Yao was about to look for Zhong Yunche when he handed her a bottle of water and then took the initiative to report on his work.

“I have already contacted the cooperating factory, and the organizer can complete the order on time. He also said that he will provide us with six design samples the day after tomorrow. He won’t let you make any mistakes in front of the person in charge.”

Upon hearing this, Ning Yao couldn't help but laugh, "Sure enough, I can only catch my breath here with you."

Seeing her bright smile, Zhong Yunche's lips unconsciously curled up as well. "Then you're welcome to come anytime."

The two smiled at each other.

Zhong Yunche then offered his suggestion, "The person in charge has dumped a lot of work on our company, but we only have a few people, and we are clearly short-staffed. Should we consider hiring new people?"

Upon hearing his words, a name immediately popped into Ning Yao's mind.

In her previous life, the other person had been a general under Ning Yan, but she didn't have time to look for him now.

So it was quite natural to hand this task over to Zhong Yunche.

Zhong Yunche chuckled, "President Ning, are you planning to squeeze every last drop of value out of me?"

"Of course not, Manager Zhong is capable and therefore works more." Ning Yao smiled and walked away. "I estimate you'll be working two extra hours tonight, so I've decided to treat you to some good food. You can choose whatever you want to eat."

Although Xiaoxiao and Wen'an were so busy they were practically blind, they still actively chose a restaurant.

They also asked Zhong Yunche if he had any ideas.

"As you wish."

Zhong Yunche's gaze remained fixed on Ning Yao until she entered the office, at which point he turned to look outside.

The scenery is beautiful.

He hadn't been admiring it for long when his phone rang.

He picked it up and glanced at it, his gentle expression instantly turning icy, before hanging up without hesitation.

……

Lu Group.

After finishing his work, Lu Jingmo noticed that the news in the office was broadcasting about the National Games.

What's the situation with 'Shattered Star' right now?

Yang Qian secretly pursed his lips, thankfully he was prepared.

"Madam has already met with the person in charge of the event. I heard that the person in charge wants to be a 'hands-off manager' this time and has pushed a lot of his work to 'Shattered Star'. Now everyone at 'Shattered Star' must be working overtime, so busy that they don't even have time to eat."

The last sentence was added by himself.

He was confident that his boss would understand immediately.

Lu Jingmo closed the file and said indifferently, "You've been having a lot of ideas lately. Are you planning to go out and make your own way in the world?"

Yang Qian was stunned. After realizing what was happening, he quickly lowered his head and denied it, "No, I just wanted to learn from President Lu."

"Then watch your mouth."

Yang Qian left the office in a cold sweat, returning to his seat with a long face.

Being a working person is so tough!

In the evening, after having dinner with her friends, Ning Yao went back to the company and worked overtime until 11 p.m.

She needed to wrap things up, so she told the three of them to leave first.

"Your hand injury hasn't healed yet, don't you want me to take you?"

Hearing Zhong Yunche say that, Ning Yao waved her hand, "No need, I'm fine now, I can drive back myself. Besides, I have a license plate restriction tomorrow, so I can park the car in the community."

Seeing that she persisted, Zhong Yunche didn't say anything more.

Ning Yao locked the company door and went downstairs only after checking all the safety hazards.

As soon as she reached the basement level, she found someone standing in front of her car.

The person's shadow stretched long in the car headlights.

Her heart began to race involuntarily, and she became alert...
