After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Yao Mingyue was not at school.

In fact, she hadn't been in the school dormitory for several nights already.

At this moment, Liu Rushuang had just finished today's evening meeting, and looking at the time, it was nearly ten o'clock.

Liu Rushuang looked at the documents in her hand that still needed her directives. She slightly rubbed her brow, and although she was accustomed to such intensity of work, it was still inevitable to feel tired after being busy alone until eleven or twelve at night every day.

"Director Liu, are we still going to process these documents today?"

The secretary brought over a cup of hot tea.

"Let's not do it for now, you should head off as well."

Liu Rushuang shook her head, took a sip of the tea, but then seemed to remember something, "Has Ming Yue gone back?"

"No, the young miss has been in your office the whole time."

Liu Rushuang nodded and stood up to go to her own office.

In the office, there was still a figure sitting.

In front of Yao Mingyue lay a pile of densely-packed documents, and her expression showed slight fatigue.

On the desk, many of the planning books were handwritten by her.

Her eyes were slightly red from fatigue, and her long hair was simply tied in a high ponytail to not obstruct her vision. In front of her lay a piece of dark chocolate and some fruit candies.

It was bitter, but good for staying awake when tired.

The fruit candy could help replenish energy.

Ever since Yao Mingyue decided to learn about business, she had actually been spending most of her time at the company, learning from Liu Rushuang.

She had begun to manage many of the event planning and corporate strategies as well.

Liu Rushuang looked at her daughter working earnestly, true to being her daughter, Yao Mingyue actually had a natural talent for business.

These past days during meetings, Liu Rushuang had been using the planning books written by Yao Mingyue. Although there were some aspects that were not considered, the overall quality was sound.

Several proposals had even been adopted by the shareholders of the company.

Liu Rushuang felt reassured, at least her daughter had the capability and she wouldn't have to worry about her future livelihood.

But following that reassurance came a pang of heartache.

She herself worked so hard not because she was a workaholic, but because the responsibilities of the household had forced her to get used to it.

But what about Ming Yue? Liu Rushuang knew without guessing that her hard work was for someone else.

"Silly girl, you shouldn't work like this, it's time to rest."

Liu Rushuang placed the hot tea in front of her.

Yao Mingyue snapped back from her work, her voice a bit hoarse, "It's okay, Mom, I'm just finishing the last one."

Yao Mingyue took a sip from the cup, which soothed her throat somewhat.

Liu Rushuang sat down beside her, looking at what she had written, all about the market research for takeaway food containers.

Xu Musen's bubble tea and takeaway services both needed a large quantity of disposable utensils, and the size of his business now made it difficult to negotiate a very good price from disposable utensil suppliers.

However, Liu Rushuang owned shares in a disposable utensils factory, which she had handed over to Yao Mingyue to manage.

If Yao Mingyue wanted to help him, she would naturally offer him the lowest price possible, but if the price was too low, the factory staff would certainly not be pleased.

Finding this balance that satisfies both sides was not easy, requiring dealing with many people and conducting extensive market research and analysis.

These days, Yao Mingyue had been running back and forth almost daily between the company and the factory, finally completing this report.

With this report, the cost of bubble tea cups and takeaway boxes could be reduced by thirty percent.

Don't overlook these thirty percent. Currently, a set of disposable utensils costs between twenty to fifty cents, saving a few cents or one dime per set.

But the consumption of utensils is extremely high. As the scale expands and the consumption of food boxes surges, it would be possible to manage a turnover of several billion a year if they could take on a large factory.

"You, don't push yourself so hard in anything you do. Your health is what's most important."

Liu Rushuang said softly beside her.

"I know my limits. He needs this right now."

Yao Mingyue moved her wrists, her slender wrists making cracking sounds.

"Xiaosen must have fed you some kind of love potion, can't you live without him? You don't even care about your mom to this extent, hmph..."

Liu Rushuang's mouth twisted as she let out a sour hmph, acting as though she had been deprived of affection. She lay on the desk, pressing her cheek to it like a child.

Yao Mingyue glanced at her mother — despite being a mother herself, she always seemed more girlish when throwing tantrums.

In the past, it was indeed her mother's personality to always suggest that she and Xu Musen call her sister.

After her father passed away, she seldom played and messed around with them like that.

Yao Mingyue picked up a fruit candy and fed it directly to her mother's mouth.

Liu Rushuang opened her rosy lips, revealing a row of white, even teeth, and bit down on the fruit candy.

"Consider yourself filial."

"Mom, can we act a little more grown-up?"

Yao Mingyue said somewhat helplessly, why did it feel like her mom was more clingy than her?

"Mommy has always been very mature, okay!"

Liu Rushuang puffed herself up with a smile.

Yao Mingyue assessed her mother's appearance. Today Liu Rushuang wore a black suit—not even such a solemn and proper outfit could hide her mother's exceptional figure.

Her clothing was stretched tightly, emphasizing her shapely figure. Beneath the suit, that white shirt struggled not to pop open from the pressure.

Yao Mingyue snorted, no big deal, just wait a few more years till I'm fully developed!
