    Chapter 99 Busy

    Xu Wen and Lu Qingrang stepped into the company one after another, almost the moment they entered——

    “Wow!”

    Warm cheers instantly surrounded them.

    It seems that Lin Wei has spread the news of the successful signing.

    Lu Qingrang looked sideways at Xu Wen with a gentle smile.

    Xu Wen immediately understood and raised his voice with a smile: “Okay, okay, I know everyone is happy! But the system will be officially launched soon, and we can’t relax at this critical moment. Everyone should return to their posts first.”

    He paused and then announced: “In addition, Mr. Lu has explained that colleagues who work overtime hours exceeding the standard will be forced to take paid leave this week! When the project is completed, additional holidays will be arranged. Overtime pay will remain the same!”

    This remark drew a round of applause.

    Xu Wen turned to the direction of the Human Resources Department and added: “Also, the project bonus will be paid together with this month’s salary.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, even more enthusiastic cheers almost broke the roof.

    Lu Qingrang raised his hand at the right time, gently suppressed the cheers, and said in a calm tone: “Okay, let’s go get busy.”

    After saying that, he turned and walked towards the office.

    Xu Wen naturally took a step behind and followed behind him.

    The door closed gently behind him, blocking out the noise outside.However, it hadn’t been quiet for long. As soon as Xu Wen sat down at his desk, there was a knock on the office door.

    An employee poked his head in with a document and said with a troubled expression: “Xu Zhu, I’m sorry, I have an urgent question…”

    Lu Qingrang had already answered the phone and nodded slightly to him.

    Xu Wen understood and immediately stood up to greet him: “Show me.”

    This busyness did not stop until the sky outside the window was getting dark.

    With a “click”, Xu Wen pushed open the office door with a takeout bag.

    “Take a rest.” He reminded him at the right time.

    Lu Qingrang was concentrating on reviewing documents. He had changed into a crisp black suit. The wrinkled jacket from before had been packed up and hung on the hanger in the lounge by Xu Wen.

    Hearing the sound, Lu Qingrang signed the last document neatly and pushed it aside.

    “Eat pizza. Lin Wei and the others ordered dinner together.” Xu Wen said, sinking into the sofa, casually placing the takeout bag on the coffee table, and never wanting to move again.

    Lu Qingrang stood up and walked over, squatted in front of the coffee table, silently unpacked the pizza, laid out the pizza, pushed it in front of Xu Wen, and then sat down next to him.

    Seeing this, Xu Wen lazily tilted his head and rested his head on Lu Qingrang’s shoulder.

    “I’m so exhausted, I feel so dizzy,” he muttered, unconsciously rubbing the side of Lu Qingrang’s neck with the top of his hair.

    Lu Qingrang let him nuzzle indulgently and asked softly: “Shall I feed you?”

    He put on his gloves and naturally broke open a piece of pizza.

    “Hmm…” Xu Wen responded feebly.

    In this position, the two of them shared the still-warm dinner, leaning on Lu Qingrang’s hand, and Xu Wen finally regained some energy.

    He leaned against Lu Qingrang and looked at his phone, then turned and asked, “Can we finish before eleven o’clock tonight?”

    Lu Qingrang was packing the lunch boxes on the coffee table. Hearing this, he looked up and said, “Do you want to go to the lounge and lie down for a while?”

    “Oh, are you trying to get me involved again?” Xu Wen immediately retorted, deliberately pretending not to buy it, “I’m busy!”

    After saying that, he reached out his hand and gently scraped Lu Qingrang’s cheek, and quickly slipped out of the office as if he had oiled his feet.

    Lu Qingrang looked at his fleeing back and couldn’t help shaking his head and laughing.

    Just as Xu Wen expected, it was almost 11:30 at night when the two of them stepped into the house.

    Xu Wen was in a daze after working overtime and kept talking about everything: “Oh, work is so difficult… who said I have a wife? I have to work hard!”

    As he spoke, he lightly bumped Lu Qingrang, who was following him, with his elbow.

    “Honey, am I right?”

    Lu Qingrang helped him take off his suit and responded in a low voice: “Yes, yes.”

    “Are you feeling sleepy?” He took Xu Wen’s hand and wrapped it around him, leading him to the sofa.

    “Ah – the social beast is so tired!” Xu Wen almost hung his whole body on Lu Qingrang, muttering and complaining.

    “Then I’ll give you a salary increase?” Lu Qingrang coaxed along with his words.

    “Put it down. I have your salary card here. Doesn’t the salary increase just go from the left pocket to the right pocket?” Xu Wen didn’t answer at all.

    “You sit down for a while. I’ll get some clothes and take a shower before going to bed.” Lu Qingrang said nothing more and turned around and entered the bedroom.

    Xu Wen collapsed directly on the sofa, looking at the warm ceiling light in the living room, and his thoughts began to wander endlessly.

    The redemption value is now 85%… plus 5% if the Xia family collapses. Then one of the remaining Nangong Chen and Su Xia is not worth it!Lu Qingrang only added 10% for becoming my wife. Does he care about Su Xia so much?You can’t care about Nangong Chen’s bad writing, right?

    The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. He couldn’t help but harass the system in his mind: “System, how is the redemption value calculated? Aren’t they the only two left? Who is worth 5% and who is worth 10%?”

    [The redemption value is comprehensively evaluated by the system and is not entirely related to a specific person.】

    Xu Wen was confused by this ambiguous answer, and the more he thought about it, the more unconvinced he became.

    He subconsciously raised his eyes, trying to find Lu Qingrang’s figure, but his eyes happened to fall on the figure of Lu Qingrang, who had his back turned to him and was bending to arrange his clothes.

    The dissatisfaction caused by the system in his heart was suddenly replaced by an itchy impulse. He grinned, leaned over, patted Lu Qingrang’s butt like a gangster, and said in a low voice: “Honey, let’s take a shower together?”

    Lu Qingrang grabbed his wrist with his backhand, turned around, narrowed his beautiful eyes slightly, and locked his gaze: “Are you sure?”

    “!”

    Xu Wen’s attempt at oral sex failed, but he made himself blush.

    He suddenly withdrew his hand, grabbed the clothes Lu Qing asked him to pack, and rushed to the bathroom without looking back, shouting vaguely: “Cough, I, I’ll wash it first! I’m so sleepy, so sleepy -”

    Lu Qingrang didn’t catch up anymore, he just stood there with a helpless smile on his face.

    Too many things happened today, and Xu Wen was indeed tired.

    It’s time for a good night’s sleep.

    When Lu Qingrang walked into the bedroom covered in moisture after taking a shower, Xu Wen had already huddled in the bed and fell into a deep sleep, breathing soft and long.

    He turned on the warm light on the bedside, lay down gently in the light coming from the window, and carefully took the person into his arms.

    Xu Wen moved unconsciously in his sleep, spontaneously found the most comfortable position, and buried his face in his shoulder.

    Lu Qingrang smiled silently in the darkness, lowered his head and placed a soft kiss on Xu Wen’s forehead.

    “Good night.”

    The body heat of each other dissipated the fatigue of the whole day and gave me a good night’s sleep.
