Chapter 1392: Chapter 1385 Gathering and Parting (9)

"No thanks, I’d better get busy finishing up early," Lu Weixi shook her head in refusal, "Once it’s confirmed, I’ll jot down the outline of the proposal. I have something to handle tomorrow and might not be able to make it, and even if I do, it will be very late. So, I prefer to finish today what can be completed."

Actually, as long as they submit this proposal before the end of work on Friday, there won’t be any issue, but today is only Monday.

Even if Lu Weixi couldn’t come tomorrow, there would still be three days left, plenty of time to submit it.

Qin Zhigu didn’t oppose it; he just called out to his assistant, "Get Wei Hui a cup of hot coffee, this one has gone cold."

Before Lu Weixi could respond, Xiaochen nearby spoke first, "Mr. Lu can’t drink coffee."

He hadn’t known, but once it was mentioned Qin Zhigu was a bit surprised, "Don’t you always drink coffee to stay alert while working? Even late into the night."

Back when they were graduating, and during their previous collaborations, that was the case. They would drink several cups of coffee in one sitting to stay focused and alert.

Lu Weixi remained composed: "I’ve been a bit neurologically sensitive recently."

"What about tea then?" Here isn’t America; if there isn’t coffee, there is still tea, plenty of alternatives.

Lu Weixi shook her head, "No need, there’s not much left, I’ll just note it down."

Lu Weixi worked quickly, but very meticulously. With the cooperation of Xiaochen and Xiaoqian, the three of them, referencing the notes from the meeting, managed to write down the key points in just twenty minutes. After finishing, she even sent a copy of the document to Paul and Qin Zhigu, asking them to check whether there were any errors or anything that needed to be changed, or if they had any other suggestions that could be proposed at any time.

Her rigorous work attitude even slightly surprised Paul. Qin Zhigu reviewed it briefly and found no issues, "Let’s go with this. Thank you for your efforts."

Only then did Lu Weixi let out a long breath, her energy visibly relaxing as she slumped back into her chair. Paul, grinning, said, "You’ve worked hard, look how tired our Miss Lu is. Simpson, after putting her through so much, shouldn’t you treat to a hearty late-night snack as compensation?"

He said this while giving Qin Zhigu a teasing wink.

Qin Zhigu knew what he meant; Paul had also heard about Lu Weixi’s divorce from her brother as well as their past relationship, and was trying to play matchmaker. In China, maybe some would find this inappropriate, but in America, it’s completely fine. Since both are single again, why shouldn’t they continue to see each other?

Qin Zhigu also understood Paul’s intention; he himself didn’t mind it. Although he had once wanted to rekindle their past relationship, that opportunity was missed, and after opening up about it, they just remained friends. While he still cared a lot for her and felt for her, he no longer harbored the feeling of wanting her back as his wife.

However, there were others present, and with Paul having made his suggestion, it wasn’t easy for him to outright refuse, so he stood up: "Everyone has worked hard today, so here’s what, I’ll host a late-night meal! Feel free to order anything."

"We can go or not, but Mr. Lu must go," Paul added, not missing a chance to stir things up.

Amidst cheers, Lu Weixi remained unusually calm, gathered her things, draped her jacket over one arm and held her bag in the other, "I’m sorry, but my mom has to go to the hospital for a follow-up early tomorrow morning. I need to go back and be with her. You guys have fun."
