Li Anran had nowhere else to go; the Li family was his final refuge, so she agreed to Li Rou's request: "No problem, I'll help you."
Hearing Li Anran say this, Li Rou was satisfied: "Tell me what Lu Shen's preferences are?"
Just then, Li Anran's stomach rumbled, and she pleaded with Li Rou, "Could you let me eat a bite of food first? I haven't eaten in a long time."
Li Rou pouted in dissatisfaction: "There's still leftover food in the kitchen. You can eat with the servants."
Li Anran clenched her fist, but a grateful smile remained on her face: "Thank you."
Then she turned and went into the kitchen. Li Rou turned to her father and complained, "It's filthy. If it weren't for the fact that she's still somewhat useful, who would take her in?"
As soon as she entered the kitchen, Li Anran began rummaging through drawers and cabinets.
The people in the kitchen were startled, because they recognized her as the Li family's daughter and wondered how she could have ended up in such a disheveled state.
A younger maid patted her on the shoulder: "Miss, you're back?"
Li Anran put away her awkwardness and looked at her: "Yeah, I just got back, looking for something to eat."
The maid carefully took fresh food out of the refrigerator and handed it to Li Anran. Li Anran, however, showed the demeanor of a matriarch that should be present in the Li family: "Not bad. You can go out first. The kitchen is too small. It's too crowded if everyone stays here."
Someone left and closed the door behind them. Hearing the door open, Li Anran wolfed down the cake and devoured the leftovers on the plate in a flash.
Li Rou urged from outside the door, "Hurry up, haven't you finished eating yet?"
Li Anran hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth, then went out and said to Li Rou, "I'm done eating."
"Tell me, how should I approach him?" Li Rou frowned as she looked at Li Anran.
Because at this moment, Li Anran was nothing like a rich young lady. Her clothes were wrinkled, she smelled bad, and her hands were covered in oil, but that couldn't stop her from wanting to understand Lu Shen.
“He was interested in high-tech industries, and he used to talk about them with his good friends at home often,” Li Anran recalled of the days living in the Lu family’s old house.
Li Rou said, "I know that. We've invested a lot of time and energy in starting a new energy technology company, but I want to be alone with him. What should I do?"
“You can invite him to a science and technology exhibition. When he watches TV at home before, he would stop and see where the exhibition was when he came across one. Usually, if it wasn’t too far away, he would go.”
The suggestion given by Li Anran seemed reasonable, and based on Li Rou's interactions with Lu Shen over this period, it was clear that Lu Shen had a strong interest in the high-tech industry.
So when she returned to the company, she subtly suggested to Lu Shen, "My assistant told me that there's a technology exhibition going on in the city. Would you like to go together after get off work?"
Li Rou dressed up in a style similar to Jian Ruoxi's usual style, and there was a faint scent of perfume wafting from her hair.
Lu Shen simply replied, "I'm not going, you go."
Unexpectedly rejected by Lu Shen so decisively, Li Rou felt somewhat humiliated, but she still forced herself to remain calm: "Let's go together next time we have the chance."
After returning home, Li Rou questioned Li Anran: "He rejected me, what does that mean? Are you lying to me?"
"Look at the photos on my phone. They were taken by the media when he went to see the show. I'm really not lying to you." Li Anran hurriedly pulled out her phone and flipped through the photo album.
Li Rou had absolutely no interest in looking at the photo album: "Take it away, I don't want to look at it. Besides the exhibition, what else is he interested in?"
"And modified cars, he used to be a bit obsessed with racing." Li Anran's mind raced, and she suddenly remembered that Lu Shen had taken her to watch a racing competition before.
Li Rou then called her assistant: "Go and contact the person in charge of the race car."
The assistant was extremely efficient; within two hours, she had sent the manager's WeChat to Li Rou.
"Hello, I'd like to take a look at our modified car," Li Rou asked him.
Seeing that the other party was a woman, the owner didn't take it seriously: "Why don't you come to the store and see? It's hard to explain over the phone."
To be honest, the owner originally wanted to politely decline the other party's offer. After all, very few women are interested in racing, and he felt that once he suggested coming to the store to watch, very few women would actually come to the store to observe.
Unexpectedly, in order to get Lu Shen to come out, Li Rou personally went to the car shop and asked, "Which car has the best modification effect?"
The manager carefully observed Li Rou's outfit and noticed that she was wearing quite a few luxury items, so he softened his tone and said, "This one."
He recommended the most expensive car model to Li Rou, and she gritted her teeth and bought the five-million-yuan car.
The next day when she arrived at the company, she handed the car keys to Lu Shen: "Brother Lu, you've been a great help lately, so I specially picked out a car to give to you. Here are the car keys."
Lu Shen glanced at the car keys, then stared at Li Rou: "No need, I have a car."
As soon as Li Rou got home, she threw her bag at Li Anran and yelled at her, "You idiot! I offered him exhibition tickets, but he didn't want them. I offered him a modified car, but he didn't want a five-million-dollar car. What kind of idea was that?"
On the other side, Lu Meifeng, along with her grandson Chengcheng, had just landed and returned to China.
Lu Meifeng is Lu Shen's aunt. She lives abroad and can't find her luggage on the carousel when she arrives at the airport.
Coincidentally, Li Rou was on a business trip and had just returned during this time. The two were on the same flight, and Li Rou was standing next to Lu Meifeng, also waiting for her luggage.
Seeing that Lu Meifeng was well-dressed and had an extraordinary temperament, he stepped forward and asked, "Hello, could you please tell me if you can't find your luggage?"
Lu Meifeng frowned at her: "Yes, I just returned to the country, and I don't know where to look."
Li Rou led her to the airport management, retrieved Lu Meifeng's luggage, and got into the Lu family's private car to return home safely.
However, as soon as they got home, Lu Meifeng was particularly critical of Jian Ruoxi: "The sound of you putting down the water glass is a bit loud. Didn't anyone in the family teach you how to do that?"
"The fruit isn't even washed properly. Is this how you manage your servants?"
Lu Meifeng was so picky about Jian Ruoxi because she had heard in the United States that Lu Shen had married a girl from a poor family with little education who worked in the entertainment industry.
When Li Rou returned to the company and couldn't find Lu Shen, she was anxious and knocked on the door of the Lu family's old house. Lu Meifeng was sitting on the sofa chatting with the old lady Lu. As soon as Li Rou entered, Lu Meifeng recognized her.
The old lady praised Li Rou: "This is Vice President Li, who cooperates with our company. She is highly educated and sensible."
Lu Meifeng was very satisfied with her family background and education, and secretly thought that it would be great if she could become her niece-in-law.
Lu Meifeng also asked Jian Ruoxi to help her take care of her grandson, but Chengcheng was naughty and mischievous. He broke a cup, kicked a door, and spilled juice on the maid.
Jian Ruoxi scolded him: "Chengcheng, you are not allowed to do that. It is wrong to do that."
