After breakfast, Lu Yunye went to the garage to drive the car out. Seeing a familiar military plate with the prefix A, Shi Yi frowned: “Not this one.”
The Maybach has a lot of space, and lets them stretch out their long arms and legs. Lu Yunye poked his head out of the car window: “Don’t you like it?”
“It’s too ostentatious.” Shi Yi pursed his lower lip lightly. “Since you want to lie to Lu Jingyan, you have to put on a show. He will definitely be suspicious to see you driving it.”
It was only then that Lu Yunye realized that his current personality was that of a poor man who had to rely on his wife for a living. The corners of his lips slowly rose. “Wait here.”
The Maybach retreated slowly like a well-behaved monster.
Shi Yi let out a sigh of relief. The Lu family car is too conspicuous. Once it stops in front of Feiyi, in less than half an hour, the company’s door will be blocked by the media.
Just as his thoughts were drifting, he suddenly heard a crisp sound from the garage: “Dingling—”
When Shi Yi turned his head, he felt his blood pressure rise again. Lu Yunye got a bicycle out of nowhere. His long legs in dress pants propped against the bicycle looks strange no matter how someone looks at it.
If it weren’t for that face, Shi Yi might have turned around and left.
Lu Yunye whistled, like a hooligan sitting on the side of the road accosting an omega. “Get on.”
“I don’t want to!” Shi Yi said frantically. “I’ll take a taxi to the company.”
“But your husband can only afford a bicycle now.” Lu Yunye showed a disappointed expression. “If something goes wrong and I can’t get back the company, will you still dislike me?”
Shi Yi: …
He can’t stand Lu Yunye’s pitiful look. Even though he was very reluctant in his heart, he still sat on the bike. “We’ll talk about it later.”
Lu Yunye smiled. His long legs hit on the ground, and the bicycle rushed out almost without warning. Shi Yi exclaimed and hugged his waist, “Slow down!”
The company is located in the most prosperous area in the city center. After crossing the overpass, there are more than a hundred thousand cars on the road. Lu Yunye pedaled his bicycle leisurely, and even had the mood to whistle.
Although he hadn’t yet plucked out those thorns in the Lu Group, he hadn’t felt this relaxed for a long time.
Feeling the wind blowing by, Lu Yunye felt as if he had returned to those hearty years in the army. There was no business intrigue, no need to plan step by step, and his most beloved omega was behind him. It turned out that the happiness of an ordinary person is just this simple.
Shi Yi was not as relaxed as he listened to the out-of-tune whistling feeling ashamed and angry. He buried his face tightly on Lu Yunye’s back, his movements jerky like a college student’s first time riding in the back seat of his boyfriend’s bicycle.
Lu Yunye parked the bicycle outside the revolving door of Feiyi quite smoothly. Shi Yi’s legs were numb as he jumped off the bike. As soon as he did, the alpha grabbed him into his arms, “Is this low-key enough?”
Low-key my ass. Shi Yi shot him a glare, rearranged his suit, and smoothed his hair, trying to look normal.
“I’ll do it.” Lu Yunye pushed his forehead hair aside, revealing a smooth forehead. Shi Yi’s hair was very soft and easy to take care of.
More and more employees gathered at the entrance of the company, peering from behind the glass, as if admiring some rare sight.
“Boss looks so obedient…”
“That’s right, what a pretty face, but he always makes it stiff and frightening.”
“Oh my god, that’s President Lu. President Lu is here to visit Feiyi?” an employee said in surprise.
Immediately, someone patted him from behind and reminded him: “The Lu Corporation announced yesterday that it will hold a general meeting, and the new chairman is Lu Jingyan. Lu Yunye may have encountered some difficulties.”
“Yeah, he can’t even drive a luxury car, and came here by bicycle.”
“Doesn’t President Shi still have money?”
“What do you know? It’s about an alpha’s dignity. President Lu is determined not to eat soft rice. He has a backbone.”
Several listeners sighed. No wonder Lu Yunye was able to become the president at such a young age. His company was about to disappear, yet he still remembered to send his partner to work.
The discussions, big and small, stopped abruptly the moment the two looked over. Shi Yi looked over with cold and sharp eyes, “Everyone’s so free early in the morning. You all want to work overtime?”
The employees dispersed immediately, but there was someone who wasn’t afraid of him, and teased: “President Shi’s ears are red~”
Shi Yi was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly felt his ears warm. However, the instigator still swayed closer and reached out to pinch his earlobe: “Very cute.”
“Go away.” Shi Yi patted him away, anxiously driving Lu Yunye away.”Aren’t you going to apply to be a model? Go to the design department for an interview.”
So President Lu, who was known by everyone as being very ambitious and would not fall in the face of adversity, knocked on the door of the design department ten minutes later. “President Shi said that you are short of a model here?”
Working for one’s wife is not considered eating soft rice.
As soon as he heard the masculine voice, Fang Huiyi put down his pen without even looking at it, “Yes, even if we don’t, we will!”
However, after seeing the owner of the voice, he suddenly stopped: “Lu, President Lu?”
Fang Huiyi pushed him out of the room, blocking the curious eyes of the little omega designers behind him. “President Lu, why are you here?”
“Boss Fang, hello,” Lu Yunye smiled. “I’m here to apply to be a model.”
“Did Shi Yi ask you to come?” Fang Huiyi’s mind raced. What are these two people up to?
Lu Yunye nodded, his expression didn’t look fake.
“He really agreed?” Fang Huiyi’s facial expression twisted. “Did Xiao Yi tell you that the design department is the place with the most single omegas?”
“No.” Lu Yunye raised his eyebrows at the words. “Maybe he doesn’t mind.”
“Then, that’s fine.” Fang Huiyi was very straightforward, and pushed the door open with a small waist twist. “President Lu, please come inside!”
Hearing the vague giggles coming from inside, Lu Yunye’s eyelids twitched. He felt as if he had signed himself away to some indecent place.
———-
On the other side, Shi Yi took off his earphones and squeezed the space between his brows with a headache.
He had just gotten off a call with Lu Yan. Lu Jingyan had already announced internally that he would take over as acting president. Without Lu Yunye’s presence, the power naturally fell into his hands.
According to Lu Yan, Lu Jingyan immediately issued an order to prepare for reform, targeting Lu Yunye’s confidantes. Several key shareholders had already asked for sick leave, silently protesting against him.
While Lu Yunye is enjoying himself here, Yunye Media has changed drastically. Who knows if such changes are still within his control.
Shi Yi took out the printed proposals. The bidding for “Origin” and “Beauty” is about to begin. First up is “Beauty”, which he was in charge of. At that time, he would have to go to Yunye Media in person, and Lu Jingyan making things difficult would be inevitable.
Shi Yi clenched his fists secretly. Even without Lu Yunye, his works can still be selected. He can’t live under Lu Yunye’s wings all the time.
While thoughts were racing through his mind, Qiu Qiu walked in with a file in his arms, and said casually, “Boss, Mr. Lu has already been in the design department for three hours…”
“Stop reading those internet posts,” Shi Yi glanced at the time. Sure enough, it was time for lunch. Lu Yunye had been silent this entire time?
He knew that Fang Huiyi would definitely keep him, but Lu Yunye didn’t even send him a message on his first day at work.
What about the special service at noon, Shi Yi murmured in his heart. He’s like any dog alpha, unable to leave after seeing so many omegas gathered.
Seeing his boss’s face worsen, Qiu Qiu put down the documents and walked to the door in a smooth manner. “Then boss, I’m going to eat first. Do you want me to bring you any?”
“I don’t want to eat,” Shi Yi said indifferently. He had no appetite.
Mind full of Lu Yunye who ran away during his noon service, Shi Yi clicked on another folder, intending to continue to perfect the bid for “Beauty”, but the more he drew, the more impatient he became.
Finally, the door was knocked rhythmically. He thought Qiu Qiu had returned and shouted, “I told you I won’t eat.”
“It’s not good if you don’t eat on time.” A familiar voice came from the door.
Shi Yi raised his head abruptly, and saw Lu Yunye walking in with two large bags of takeout. “I’m here to provide special service at noon.”
Hearing this, Shi Yi’s eyes flickered. This change was keenly captured by Lu Yunye who chuckled. “Why does President Shi look a little disappointed? Or was he hoping for something else other than takeout?”
“…” Shi Yi ignored him, and sat back on his desk with his head buried in work, not realizing he hadn’t even picked up his pen.
Lu Yunye has already taken out all the lunch boxes, big and small, and arranged them across the table. “I purposely ran two streets to get them. The takeout isn’t as fresh and high-quality as yours.”
“You ordered takeout?” Shi Yi looked up suspiciously.
“It’s the first day, I have to build a good relationship with my colleagues.” Lu Yunye replied naturally.
Shi Yi walked to the window, and sure enough, he saw several employees from the design department waiting downstairs, taking the big and small bags from the delivery boy, talking and laughing.
Although he knew that Lu Yunye’s actions were normal, Shi Yi still felt a little depressed; especially when he saw the other party’s unawareness, his unhappiness deepened.
“Try this piece of foie gras.”
In a dazed effort, Lu Yunye had already helped him divide the food into small portions. After smelling the aroma, the hunger was finally awakened. Shi Yi sat down at the table, and said calmly: “Since you have no money, don’t order such expensive things.”
“Even if I really have no money, I won’t treat my wife badly,” Lu Yunye pushed the small portion of food to Shi Yi as if he didn’t notice his bad mood at all.
It was also with that slight movement that Shi Yi smelled the pheromone stained on his cuff – a sweet omega pheromone, and there was more than one person.
Feiyi’s requirements for isolation stickers are not as strict as Yunye Media. Everyone is generally more casual, especially in the design department who was filled with unique personalities.
After staying there all morning, it’s not surprising to be stained with some other smells.
Shi Yi suddenly lost his appetite: “I don’t want to eat.”
Lu Yunye was stunned for a moment, and finally realized something was wrong. “Are you uncomfortable? What’s wrong?”
“No,” Shi Yi said coldly, “Stay away, you smell really bad.”
