"Ye Zhiqiu!" Zhou Yang frowned and called out her Chinese name in anger, Fortunately, Lu Qichen was far away and did not hear it. "This is your job. You arbitrarily changed the party into a press conference. Do you know how much money I've lost? What I'm asking for now is for you to entertain President Lu well. Only in this way can we have the possibility of long-term cooperation. This is what you owe me, understand?" Seeing that Ye Zhiqiu didn't speak, Zhou Yang then softened his tone, "You also know that the company is having difficulties recently. I'll leave this matter to you. Reimburse whatever money you spend back to the company." With both hard and soft tactics, Ye Zhiqiu had no choice but to agree. When she was at her wit's end, it was Zhou Yang who took her in. She had always remembered this kindness. So over the years, when other companies tried to poach her several times, she remained unmoved. "Autumn, can we go now?" Lu Qichen urged, and Zhou Yang patted Ye Zhiqiu's shoulder, "Go ahead." "Let's go." As Ye Zhiqiu helplessly led Lu Qichen out of the meeting room, they happened to run into Pan Qin. She snorted disdainfully, her face brimming with jealousy. "You two go back first."

Lu Qichen sent away his subordinates, and Fan, the assistant who followed him, couldn't help but take a few more glances at Ye Zhiqiu. He had always felt that the president was acting strangely today. He left aside so many important matters and even postponed a video conference to come to a small advertising company to listen to a proposal, something he wouldn't deign to do. But when he saw Ye Zhiqiu, he suddenly realized. Although he was far away yesterday, he recognized the president's wife. "President Lu, there's not much good food around here. There's a café at the corner; shall we go there to grab a bite and also refine the details in the proposal..." "If there's no food nearby, let's go further. I heard that a new Japanese restaurant has opened on Qiliang Road; let's go there!" "Qiliang Road?" Ye Zhiqiu was taken aback, "It will take nearly an hour to go back and forth, President Lu, I only have one hour for lunch..." "Let's go." Lu Qichen said, pulling her towards the car without any further ado. "A grilled salmon, an omelette with cod roe, takoyaki, miso soup, and... also bring a serving of cherry blossom mousse," Lu Qichen ordered familiarly, while Ye Zhiqiu glanced at the menu across from her. Just these few dishes could cost as much as her weekly salary. President Lu was really too out of touch with the hardships of ordinary people. With just the two of them, Ye Zhiqiu became more casual and couldn't help but ask, "Do you often bring Miss Bai here?" Lu Qichen raised an eyebrow, why did she keep mentioning Bai Rongrong? "Yes, I come here often with her, and these are all her favorites."

Lu Qichen grew more and more angry as he thought about it. 'No wonder,' Ye Zhiqiu nodded knowingly, 'Miss Bai is of noble status, you must treat her well.' '...' 'Mr. Lu, if there is anything unsatisfactory with the PPT in the morning, you can tell me directly, I will go back and modify it for you later,' Ye Zhiqiu said in a business-like manner, which made Lu Qichen feel very uncomfortable, so he raised a few tricky questions, all of which Ye Zhiqiu noted down one by one. 'Let's eat first,' looking at her serious expression, Lu Qichen felt relieved. 'From now on, I will come to pick you up for lunch every day,' Lu Qichen suddenly said, startling Ye Zhiqiu who almost choked, repeatedly refusing, 'No need, no need to go through such trouble...' 'Yan... Autumn, no matter what, I am your husband now,' he said firmly, leaving no room for refusal. 'But...' She thought of Bai Rongrong, then realized that Lu Qichen must have his own reasons for doing this, so she nodded in agreement. After eating, Lu Qichen openly sent Ye Zhiqiu to the entrance of the company. As Ye Zhiqiu entered, Pan Qin came up with a cup of water. She stepped aside, but the water in her cup seemed to have eyes, spilling all over Ye Zhiqiu. 'Oh my, I'm so sorry...' Pan Qin laughed with schadenfreude. Fortunately, the water was not too hot, and she didn't mind it. When she took another step, Pan Qin blocked Ye Zhiqiu's way again. 'Autumn, being beautiful is an asset, but if you use this asset to destroy someone else's marriage, sooner or later this cup of water will be thrown on your face.'

Pan Qin sneered, 'I'm just giving you a heads-up today. President Lu is married, so don't shamelessly cling to him. If you end up losing both the wife and the soldiers, there will be nowhere for you to cry.' Ye Zhiqiu frowned slightly, not bothering to respond at all. Her indifferent attitude infuriated Pan Qin, who spat behind her back, 'What kind of thing are you, always pretending to be so noble, when who knows how many men have been with you behind the scenes...' In the afternoon, Ye Zhiqiu received a call from the servant at home, saying that there was a temporary matter at home and asking Ye Zhiqiu to prepare dinner because Lu Qichen said he wanted to come home for dinner. Ye Zhiqiu wanted to refuse, but considering her identity, she didn't decline. She asked about Lu Qichen's preferences and then hung up the phone. Lu Qichen got a call from the servant saying that the young mistress had agreed, and he frowned, his fingers tapping lightly on the office desk. To his knowledge, Gu Yanfei was a lady who never touched a needle or thread, so how could she readily agree? 'Mr. President?' Assistant Fan was reporting the operational situation for the month to Lu Qichen, not expecting that Lu Qichen would be distracted by a phone call. He had never been like this before. 'Mr. Fan, do you think... a person can change completely before and after marriage?' He seemed to have grasped something, yet it seemed like he had grasped nothing. 'It shouldn't be...' Assistant Fan said with a pained expression. President, he was still a single dog, and such profound questions, he really didn't understand. 'Go and check on the Gu family for me, see what kind of tricks Gu Yanfei is playing, and also, get me two photos of her.'

Lu Qichen gave the instructions. Knowing that Ye Zhiqiu was cooking at home, Lu Qichen made an unprecedented decision not to work overtime and went home early instead. Ye Zhiqiu took the subway to the supermarket first to buy pork ribs, fish fillets, and several kinds of vegetables before heading home unhurriedly. Having grown up with her grandmother since childhood, she had learned to cook at a very young age. Although she hadn't cooked for a long time, her skills were not rusty. She neatly tied her long hair into a bun behind her head, put on an apron, and when Lu Qichen came back, he saw her busy in the kitchen. 'You're back, wash your hands and get ready for dinner,' Ye Zhiqiu said to Lu Qichen as she poked her head out of the kitchen upon hearing the door open. He had deliberately asked her to prepare dinner to confirm her identity, but seeing Ye Zhiqiu in the apron, the word 'home' suddenly flashed through Lu Qichen's mind.
