Chapter 132 Not in the same league
About an hour after we finished eating hot pot, that person arrived.
She walked in wearing a black wool coat, a white shirt and jeans underneath, and black ankle boots.
"Hello, do you have an appointment?" Zhang Xin greeted the receptionist.
"Yes," the woman replied in a clear, resonant voice, giving the name Yu Zhan.
Luo Shu, who was sitting in the tea room, recognized the voice.
It is Mubu.
I don't know what methods she used to get Yu Zhan to create a personalized order for her.
Luo Shu frowned, picked up the teapot handle, and poured herself a cup of green tea.
"Yuanxi, take this young lady to the backyard," Zhang Xin said with a smile.
Yuanxi came out from the inner courtyard and led her inside with a professional fake smile.
"Hello, Miss, please follow me." Yuanxi said as she led the way, "Teacher Hu caught a cold today and is unable to receive guests. Teacher Yu will take your measurements today, and Teacher Hu will send you the design drawings according to your requirements later."
"Sure, no problem." Mu Bu smiled and walked inside.
In the past two years, Yu Zhan has focused his energy on Yu Se, and I heard that he has even hired the well-known foreign designer, Mr. Hu, to oversee the project.
She also wanted to keep up with Yu Zhan's pace and increase their conversation topics, so she asked Yu Zhan to help her get Teacher Hu to customize a dress for when the company goes public.
"Hello, Teacher Yu! I am Mu Bu, a friend of President Yu." Mu Bu naturally recognized Yu Yu; she knew almost every woman around Yu Zhan inside and out.
"Hello, Miss Mu." Yu Yu's expression was impeccable.
"Thank you for your hard work today," Mu Bu said with a smile.
"It's not hard work, but I wonder how Miss Mu managed to persuade Mr. Yu, this ice block, to order a dress for you?"
Yu took out her tablet, typed Mu Bu's name into the document, and recorded her requirements and size.
Mu Bu smiled shyly: "I'm currently preparing for the company's IPO in May. I usually stay at the company and don't have any decent clothes. The IPO is such a big deal, there will definitely be a lot of banquets and social events. Teacher Hu and President Yu know each other, and he doesn't want me to lose face at the banquets."
Yu Yu nodded slightly, his expression serious. "Hmm, it seems President Yu values you quite a bit."
She carefully observed Mu Bu's expression, and after just a couple of compliments, the corners of her mouth turned up in a wide smile.
After chatting about some trivial matters, Yu Yu began to take measurements for Mu Bu.
Luo Shu, sitting behind the openwork carving, took a small sip of tea, which was overheard by Mu Bu outside.
"What's inside..." Mu Bu looked around curiously.
Through the openwork carving, behind the hazy gauze window, a familiar figure could be seen. She sat upright, sipping tea with utmost care, her every gesture exuding grace and elegance.
"Teacher Hu," Yu Yu said with a smirk.
"Hello, Teacher Hu." Mu Bu nodded to her.
Luo Shu nodded slightly in response.
"I heard no one has ever seen Teacher Hu before. Seeing this back view in the villa today is already quite stunning. I wonder if Teacher Hu would be willing to come out and meet me?" Mu Bu flattered.
Luo Shu smiled after the openwork carving.
What kind of expression would she have if she found out one day that the obscure teacher she's supporting today is actually her formidable opponent?
Yu Yu said casually, "Teacher Hu isn't someone you can meet just anyone, especially people with questionable behavior. They usually can't even get through the door."
Upon hearing this, Mu Bu gave an awkward laugh.
"It's all thanks to Mr. Yu that I had the honor of wearing Mr. Hu's work," she said.
Yu Yu nodded and said, "The designers at General Manager Yu's company are all quite good, especially that Teacher Luo. I heard that a famous designer on the design platform specifically named him."
Upon hearing Luo Shu's name, Mu Bu snorted, "Her? How can she compare to Teacher Hu? They're not even in the same league."
"Oh?" Yu raised an eyebrow and smiled.
“If she were good enough, President Yu wouldn’t have condescended to ask Teacher Hu for help.” Mu Bu turned around and measured Yu Yu’s back.
"I heard that President Yu got married. I wonder who caught his eye."
"Don't even mention it. It's such a pity for President Yu. What is President Yu's status? What is her status? She's just a nobody. She had to hide her marriage and was too ashamed to show her face. The Yu family couldn't even be bothered to help with the wedding."
Yu Yu said nothing, but just looked at the woman behind the tent.
Luo Shu took a sip of tea and continued listening.
"Is it really that low-class? Mr. Yu has such a discerning eye, it can't be as bad as you make it out to be, can it?"
Yu Yu tried to salvage her image, but she only went further.
"A second-hand woman, do you think she's presentable?" Mu Bu chuckled. "She just broke up with her ex-boyfriend, got drunk and insisted on climbing into President Yu's bed. Otherwise, she would have done eight lifetimes of good deeds to even get into the Yu family."
Luo Shu paused for a moment, then put the teacup, which was in mid-air, on the tea mat without paying any attention.
"You've been by President Yu's side for so long, why hasn't he taken a liking to you?" Yu asked curiously.
Mu Bu smiled awkwardly, about to say something.
Yu Yu spoke up again: "I think you're already quite attractive. President Yu has such good taste that he would choose her. She must have something that's even more outstanding than you, Miss Mu, what do you think?"
Mu Bu's lips twitched, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
I don't know if Yu Yu had low emotional intelligence or if she said it on purpose.
It's like being slapped and then given a red date; Mu Bu felt suffocated.
Mu Bu agreed, "Probably."
Yu Yu stopped what she was doing. "Alright, have some tea first, rest for a while, and then we can talk about the details of the dress."
Mu Bu nodded, sat down on the sofa next to him, and looked at the woman behind the openwork carving.
That familiar feeling surged up again.
Who is the woman behind the curtain?
Yu Yu walked to the backyard, and Luo Shu also came out of the tea room to meet Yu Yu.
"See? They're the same in public and in private." Yu Yu glanced in Mu Bu's direction.
"It doesn't matter, as long as I can make money."
"I thought you weren't going to answer. Why would you answer someone like that?"
Luo Shu scoffed: "With her mouth, once she puts on that dress, the entire high society will know your name, Teacher Hu. We'll make a fortune off her. Why would we miss such an opportunity?"
"And finally, a resounding slap in the face, Mr. Luo, it has to be you!" Yu Yu couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Watch her request later, and don't miss any small details. Starting today, every customer's request must be recorded in case of after-sales issues. I have a cocktail party tonight, so I'll leave this to you." Luo Shu pinched her cheek.
Yu Yu said with a grin, "Don't worry! My God of Wealth! Go ahead and leave things to me!"
Luo Shu glanced at the front yard, a wicked smile playing on her lips. She turned to leave through the back door when she heard a familiar voice coming from the front yard.
"President Yu, you've arrived!" Mu Bu greeted him with a fawning smile, quickly rising to his feet.
Yu Zhan ignored her and looked around, as if searching for something.
Luo Shu quickly hid to the side and did not come out.
Yu Yu hurriedly walked towards the front yard. "President Yu, what brings you here?"
"I just ordered formal wear for my employees and wanted to take a look at Mr. Hu's previous works for reference," Yu Zhan replied casually.
But his gaze drifted toward the backyard, where he saw a pair of familiar single shoes peeking out from behind a stone pillar before disappearing back into the ground.
He couldn't remember where he had seen these shoes before, and he squinted.
"President Yu." Mu Bu's expression turned sour when he heard the words "ordering formal wear for employees."
Yu smiled secretly, her lips pursed.
