Looking at Lu Qingye’s volatile expression, the assistant did not even dare to breathe loudly.
However, Lu Qingye was in a good mood and did not correct him for being late. “Where’s the thing I asked you to get?”
“It’s in the car. I’ll pass it to you later.” Just now, he specially went back to the company to collect an office flash drive for Lu Qingye.
Lu Qingye hummed softly and walked out of the hotel with his briefcase.
It was snowing outside. The snow fell on his head and shoulders, making the black windbreaker on his body stand out, aptly setting the atmosphere. The assistant quickly walked in front and opened the car door for him in advance. Then, he drove out of the hotel.
The Rolls-Royce drove slowly on the road. Lu Qingye took out his computer again and looked up at his assistant who was driving. He said in a low voice,
“Give me the USB drive.”
“Okay.” The assistant took out the USB flash drive from the glove compartment and handed it to Lu Qingye.
He had been in a hurry to see a client yesterday and had not finished some work. He had wanted to deal with it before going to bed tonight, but he had forgotten to bring the USB flash drive.
Then, the assistant went back to the company to get it for him today. After the computer was turned on, Lu Qingye inserted the USB drive and operated the touch pad.
He opened a few folders and his brows gradually knitted into a frown. Confusion ensued in his eyes.
Lu Qingye could not find the documents he was familiar with. He looked up and asked with a frown, “Where did you get this USB?”
He had never seen the things inside. Moreover, the documents inside were basically encrypted, so he could not open them.
When the assistant heard this, he quickly replied, “The drawer in your office.”
Lu Qingye sighed softly and said helplessly, “The one I want is plugged into the computer. Why are you looking for it in the drawer?”
His usual items were kept on his desk, or in more conspicuous places. The drawers were usually closed, unless there wasn’t enough space on the desktop for him to put something in temporarily.
He originally wanted to finish the remaining work from yesterday, but it seemed like he would not be able to finish it today.
The assistant scratched his head and said guiltily, “Then what should we do now? Should I go back and get it for you?”
As he spoke, he really had the intention to turn around and go back to the company.
Lu Qingye replied with a cold expression, “No need. Let’s talk about it in the afternoon.
He looked down at the unfamiliar documents on the computer screen and felt even more puzzled.
Was this USB really his?
Why didn’t he have any impression of it?
Just as Lu Qingye was about to leave, he glanced at the name of the document and suddenly felt like he had seen it somewhere before.
Because it was a string of abbreviations, Lu Qingye couldn’t remember it even after looking at it for a long time. Then, he clicked on it curiously.
It was filled with Meng Chuyuan’s painting assignments. There was a detailed time and date, including a record of her inspirations. It was all pasted on the assignment.
Why was Meng Chuyuan’s things with him?
Lu Qingye took a cursory look and exited the file. When he accidentally opened it just now, he found many encrypted folders inside. Presumably, this USB drive was quite important to her, so he put it away in the compartment of his briefcase.
An hour or so later, they arrived at their destination.
Lu Qingye had been keeping an eye on this project for a long time, but he had not found a chance to meet the manager. Two days ago, he had heard by chance that they wanted to advance this project, so he went over.
The person who welcomed him was a woman in her fifties with an assistant beside her.
Lu Qingye came up and briefly introduced himself to her. He directly rejected their special way of exchanging greetings.
Although it is said that when in Rome do as the Romans do, if their customs infringed on some of his basic principles Lu Qingye would not follow them. Fortunately, the woman did not take this matter to heart. Instead, she admired his attitude.
The two of them sat down at a high-end club and calmly discussed their collaboration.
Lu Qingye spoke fluently in a foreign language and tried his best to fight for this contract, hoping to reach an agreement with the other party.
If he wanted to expand the Lu Corporation’s brand, he had to break into the market here. This was also the purpose of his business trip.
When it came to work, Lu Qingye never beat around the bush. As long as there was an opportunity, he would seize it.
The two of them talked for an hour and a half before Lu Qingye finally convinced her to sign the contract.
The woman stood up from her chair and reached out to Lu Qingye. “Mr. Lu, I wish us a happy cooperation..”
