Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 67 - 0: It’s all over now.

Lin Langsheng, anxious and uneasy, decided to follow Yu Ling’s advice and sat down to eat.

Time passed. Ten minutes grew longer, and no call had come.

Half an hour later, the phone was still silent.

Gradually, he forgot about the issues at work and began to immerse himself in the meal.

Yu Ling took the opportunity to ask about the house, turning to Lin Yue, "Have you looked at the house?"

Lin Yue nodded, "Yes, Gu Feng has already made the booking, but... it seems too expensive?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Her mother-in-law Liu Yan said with a smile, "As long as you like it, that’s all that matters. If it’s expensive, then it’s expensive, no problem."

Lin Yue nudged her mother gently with her arm, "He bought a place in Tangchen!"

"..." Liu Yan’s eyelid twitched, not wanting to lose face in front of the relatives, she said, "If I’m not mistaken, the smallest apartment in Tangchen is over 400 square meters, costing just over 100 million. The 100 million I previously set aside for Feng, you don’t need to give that back to me. If you like Tangchen, just buy it; if the extra money isn’t enough, I’ll add a bit more, no problem."

Lin Yue coughed lightly, "The apartment Gu Feng chose is the biggest model, the one for 390 million. But he’s already bought it."

Pfft.

Liu Yan choked on her drink.

Gu Feng said to her, "Mom, that money is in my company’s account. Whenever you need money, just let me know, and I’ll give it to you."

"It’s all right, let’s just leave it there. If you need it, just use it. I still have money. When you get older, you don’t really spend much," Liu Yan quickly added.

At that moment, Yu Ling glanced at her watch and said, "It’s about time for me to head to the airport."

A bunch of people hastily got up to see her off.

Yu Ling beamed, expressing her enjoyment of the meal and her satisfaction with the Lin family relatives.

"You two don’t need to come along. It’ll be enough for my mother-in-law to take me to the airport. You go ahead with what you need to do," Yu Ling suggested in the parking lot, implying to the others that they need not go through any trouble.

She even glared at Gu Feng, "Take Little Yue to see your uncle later, understand?"

Gu Feng nodded.

Yu Ling turned to Lin Yue, instantly smiling warmly as she gently took her fair hand, "Once you’re done with your errands, join Feng on a trip to Beijing and meet the elders."

"Sure," Lin Yue obediently nodded, "Understood, Mom."

Yu Ling glanced at her son before continuing to Lin Yue, "If Feng ever bullies you, call me, and I’ll set him straight!"

Feeling pampered, Lin Yue replied happily, "Okay."

Yu Ling whispered with a glowing smile, "I’m looking forward to some good news from you two."

Lin Yue’s cheeks instantly flushed crimson.

The mother-in-law was hinting at having children.

After saying her piece, Yu Ling, no longer wanting to tease her daughter-in-law, got into Liu Yan’s car with a laugh, and the two women headed to the airport.

Lin Langsheng and his wife waved goodbye, only rushing off to work once the car had disappeared into the distance.

As soon as he arrived at work, turned off the engine, and grabbed his briefcase, Lin Langsheng saw Cai Qi’s secretary, Secretary Zhao, hustle over and say, "Director Lin, the leaders have called for a meeting. Please head to the conference room."

Lin Langsheng’s face fell.

This was it!

Big Housekeeper Cai Qi must be angry.

He guessed this meeting was to conduct a critique specifically targeting him.

Given the intense competition among all major jurisdictions for attracting business, his few hours away for lunch might not make a difference, but this attitude could spur Yang Rong, the second housekeeper, to take the opportunity to denounce him for a minor issue.

No wonder they hadn’t called him back; it seemed like the office had already given up on him.

Lin Langsheng nervously took his seat in the conference room.

Soon after, Yang Rong walked in.

Lin Langsheng flashed a smile, "Second Housekeeper, listen to my explanation..."

Yang Rong cut him off, "You don’t need to explain to me. I understand your mindset very well. I have already suggested to Big Housekeeper Cai that since the work doesn’t suit you, you should be reassigned to something else."

Lin Langsheng’s face turned pale.

He was already being stripped of his duties; was this a move to sideline him completely?

Seeing Yang Rong’s sour face, Lin Langsheng knew his words would be futile.

Colleagues from other departments began to enter one by one, taking their seats, and Lin Langsheng could only return their greetings with a wry smile.

It seemed his career was indeed over.

He was already in his fifties; if he couldn’t progress any further, the next position was likely a lateral move to Qingshui Yamen, waiting for retirement.

When Cai Qi entered, everybody immediately stood up, but he waved his hand to indicate that they should sit back down.

Secretary Zhao placed a cup of freshly steeped tea on Cai Qi’s desk and then left the conference room.

Lin Langsheng, feeling somewhat wronged, wished to speak up and explain to Big Housekeeper Cai.

Yet he wasn’t sure how to begin.

Instead, Cai Qi smiled and asked him, "How was the meal?"

That was it!

Lin Langsheng’s heart skipped a beat, sensing that Big Housekeeper Cai was holding a grudge about the lunch incident.

He muster a wry smile, attempting to explain, but Cai Qi simply waved his hand, "Let’s start the meeting first."

Uh-oh.

Lin Langsheng felt doomed.

He braced himself for the scolding that was sure to come.
