Chapter 418 Encountering Him

Chapter 418 Encountering Him

Although there were many people in the hall, it was not noisy.

Everyone was talking in low voices.

Occasionally, a few eyes looked over and saw Lu Jingyou chatting with a girl. Everyone knew this was a tacit matter and would not come over to disturb him.

"I've already reserved a plot of land for you at the company. You don't need to come out to look at it." Lu Jingyou turned sideways, put his hand on the back of the chair behind her, and looked at her eagerly. "I went back to you yesterday just to talk to you about this. I didn't expect that we'd think of the same thing."

"Don't worry about my business." Su Jiaojiao knew that Lu Jingyou had reserved a plot of land for her, but she would not take it now.

She didn't want to be involved with him because of these things and become a target of gossip.

She needed her own clearly titled plot of land and company, completely hers.

"You're my girlfriend, I don't care who you care about." Lu Jingyou knew what she was thinking and said seriously, "I've thought about it over and over again these days. It's true that I didn't do it well. Please forgive me this time, and I promise there won't be a next time."

Su Jiaojiao sat up straight and lowered her head to drink juice.

It tastes sour and sweet and is very delicious.

"Yu Mingyuan has been transferred from the project team and returned to Guangzhou. I will also take this as a warning and ensure that such a thing will never happen again." Lu Jingyou leaned closer to her and continued, "Don't rush back when you come to the suburbs of Beijing this time. I'll take you to our project department to play for a few days."

"You keep busy. I'm not going." Su Jiaojiao turned her head to look at him, meeting his gaze. His eyes still held the enthusiasm and tenderness she was familiar with, but his enthusiasm and tenderness made her feel unreal. She lowered her eyes and said, "I'm going to the land auction tomorrow to learn about the market. If there's something suitable, I'll buy it. This is my own business, and I don't want you to interfere."

"I don't mean to interfere with you. I just want to face these things with you." Seeing her attitude soften, Lu Jingyou took the opportunity to hold her hand. "If you have anything to discuss with me, what do you have to say to Fang Zeyang..."

He didn't suspect that there was anything going on between her and Fang Zeyang.

But he didn't want her to get too close to Fang Zeyang. It was inappropriate for them to be unmarried.

"He's my fabric supplier. I have a lot of things I need to discuss and confirm with him." Su Jiaojiao calmly withdrew her hand. "What do you want me to discuss with you? Fabric, do you understand?"

"I don't understand, you can teach me..." Lu Jingyou looked at her with bright eyes, "There's nothing to do here, let's go back now, I also live with Lan Tian."

"I have nothing to talk to you about..." Su Jiaojiao didn't want to talk about his messy affairs, "I just want to do my own thing quietly."

It's very annoying to be emotionally affected by one person.

He touched her emotions.

"You can still do your own things quietly with me, and I won't disturb you." Lu Jingyou didn't want to miss this opportunity. "I'll tell them, and we'll talk when we get back to the hotel."

"Wait, what's the background of your partner?" Su Jiaojiao looked at the eye-catching man in the red suit in the crowd. Lu Jingyou smiled and followed her gaze. "He's from New Century Investment Company. I heard his family makes red wine. He sponsored the red wine at this reception."

"No, he doesn't understand red wine." Su Jiaojiao leaned closer to him and whispered, "Look at the way he holds the glass. Someone who really understands wine wouldn't hold the bottom of the glass with their hand."

"I'll go talk to him later." Lu Jingyou hadn't noticed this. Only after Su Jiaojiao reminded him did he realize that his new partner's cup-holding posture was indeed different from others. He told Su Jiaojiao, "You guys go back first. Be careful on the road."

After Lu Jingyou left, Cai Ting sat over and said with a smile, "Thank God, you two finally reconciled."

"Jiaojiao, are you going to the auction tomorrow?" Fang Zeyang walked over and asked her.

"Let's go." Su Jiaojiao hadn't planned to change her schedule. "What time do they start filming?"

"Nine o'clock in the morning."

"Okay, then let's meet at nine o'clock tomorrow." Su Jiaojiao was looking forward to this land auction.

The moon and stars are sparse.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet and one could even hear the chirping of insects.

On the way back, Cai Ting drove carefully and reminded Su Jiaojiao, "You and Fang Zeyang are so close, will President Lu be jealous?"

"We're business associates, why would he be jealous? No way." Su Jiaojiao said seriously as she sat in the passenger seat, "We're all adults, let's understand each other!"

It's not like she and Fang Zeyang are together every day.

This time she came to the outskirts of Beijing purely for work purposes.

"You've been jealous for so long, and now you're saying we understand each other." Cai Ting giggled, "Why are you acting like a child?"

Su Jiaojiao fell silent.

It’s better not to explain this kind of thing. The more you explain, the less clear it becomes.

It was only nine o'clock when the two returned to the hotel. They washed up and lay on the bed chatting. They lived in a room with two beds, which was quite spacious.

Cai Ting knew that Su Jiaojiao was looking at the land to build a factory: "Does that mean we'll be working here from now on?"

"Yes, this place looks a bit remote now, but after the tunnel is opened, it will become prosperous. Let's buy the land while it's cheap. We must have our own clothing processing factory." This has also been Su Jiaojiao's long-cherished wish.

With the house in Tianyi Huayuan as a backing, she doesn't worry about the subsequent funding issues.

She is not greedy, she just needs to do things within her ability.

In fact, deep down in her heart, she didn't want to live her life as a strong woman. She just wanted her and her mother's lives to be better and to achieve financial freedom as soon as possible, just like in her previous life.

"Yeah, for years we've always been doing orders with other companies, and we've always been worried about this and that." Cai Ting has a deep understanding of this. "Once we have our own clothing processing factory, all the problems will be solved."

The two were chatting when Lu Jingyou came over and knocked on the door: "Jiao Jiao, come over here, I have something to tell you."

"Go quickly!" Cai Ting covered her mouth and laughed. She was a light bulb again.

As soon as Su Jiaojiao entered the room, he picked her up by the waist. He pushed her down on the bed, looked down at her, and said in a hoarse voice: "Do you know how I got through these days?"

"I don't want to know." Su Jiaojiao turned her head away and didn't look at him.

"Besides you, I won't look for anyone else. I don't have that much energy and time to fall in love with another person." Lu Jingyou felt that he must have been bewitched by her. She could always grasp his emotions calmly and make him fall for them. "No matter what happens in the future, I hope you can believe me, and I will believe you too."

He didn't want to cause any more friction between him and her because of these things.

This incident made him exhausted.

"Trust is not something that can be expressed verbally, but something that can be done through actual actions." Su Jiaojiao felt like she had a lump in her heart these days, unable to move on or go back to her original position. In the end, she was unable to concentrate on her work.

"I want to take you home. I don't want to wait any longer." Lu Jingyou reached out and brushed away the messy hair in front of her forehead. His warm breath blew on her face, and he kissed her lips. "My grandparents will definitely like you when they see you."

"Why don't you tell your mother..." Su Jiaojiao pushed him away and sat up, "I don't want to go yet."
