Thinking that his question was indeed surprising and confusing, Lu Youxi smiled awkwardly and explained: "My question was stupid."

"When you saw us in the corridor of the apartment before, did you want to say hello to Zhou Shuyan?" Lu Youxi changed his approach.

If the president of Chengzhou was called Zhou Shuyan, Hou Xiaohai would not find it strange at all.

But if his name wasn't Zhou Shuyan, Hou Xiaohai would definitely point out in surprise what their president Cheng Zhou's name was.

Sure enough, Hou Xiaohai did not show any strange reaction after hearing this. He even smiled and nodded vigorously. "Yes, I didn't expect to meet you two in Chengzhou Apartment. Are you and the president going to inspect Chengzhou Apartment?"

Lu Youxi laughed dryly and said, "We...are more frugal."

Hou Xiaohai: “…”

Oh no, why does he sound so unconvinced? Hou Xiaohai scratched his head and answered Lu Youxi's question, "I always want to say hello to you, but it seems that every time I don't have the chance to say hello."

Lu Youxi thought to himself that someone didn't want you to speak.

Although there is no evidence yet, Hou Xiaohai, an employee of Chengzhou, is a witness.

If Lu Youxi doubted Zhou Shuyan's identity again, she would be a fool! "It's okay, go and do your work, I won't delay you." Lu Youxi smiled at Hou Xiaohai.

Hou Xiaohai thought about it and explained, "I haven't had a chance to apologize to you yet."

Lu Youxi asked curiously: "What are you apologizing for?"

"When I first met you, I didn't know you were the president's wife," Hou Xiaohai explained.

Lu Youxi thought to himself, don’t say you don’t know, I don’t know myself.

"Actually, I wanted to talk to you at that time." Hou Xiaohai said embarrassedly.

Lu Youxi thought that this guy was quite honest, as he said all this out loud.

"So that's what happened. You don't have to take it to heart. You don't know about it." Lu Youxi said with a smile, "And if you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have known that you were flirting with me at the time."

Hou Xiaohai: “…”

If I had known, he wouldn't have said it.

"Then I'll go first." Hou Xiaohai said quickly.

I was afraid that if I spoke too much in front of Lu Youxi, I would make more mistakes.

"There's one more thing I need your help with." Lu Youxi said again.

"You say."

"Don't tell Zhou Shuyan that you met me today and recognized me," Lu Youxi instructed.

Seeing Hou Xiaohai's puzzled expression, Lu Youxi made up an excuse, "He is very jealous."

After hearing this, Hou Xiaohai understood immediately.

He knew very well that the president was very jealous.

The president’s wife is really kind. She must be worried that the president would make things difficult for him if he knew about it, so she reminded him not to tell the president.

"I won't tell you." Hou Xiaohai said hurriedly.

Lu Youxi didn't know how Hou Xiaohai understood it, and he said it so sincerely.

Anyone who looks at him can tell that he would never tell a word even if he was beaten to death.

And now the way they looked at her was full of respect, as if she was some kind-hearted person.

However, she was also surprised that Hou Xiaohai believed so firmly in a reason she made up.

After Hou Xiaohai left, Lu Youxi returned to the R&D department.

Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi's conversation was not over yet, so Lu Youxi took out his laptop, connected to Chengzhou's network, and looked up the president of Chengzhou Group.

There is very little information about Zhou Shuyan on the Internet.

As for age, photos, nothing.

Only a few words were said to indicate that the president of Chengzhou Group was a young, handsome and promising man.

Moreover, Chengzhou’s new products always make the news.

Occasionally, Zhou Shuyan would introduce some new products and Cheng Zhou’s plans for the next stage.

But they were all text interviews, and there were no photos of Zhou Shuyan.

Lu Youxi recalled that Zhou Shuyan's dinner party was almost turned into a blind date by the client, and he asked her to pick him up.

Shen Yanqing was also there at that time.

Lu Youxi couldn't help but recall that when she, Ji Deyi and Pei Jingyuan brought the little pink book to participate in the interview of Chengzhou Support Program, Shen Yanqing reacted very strongly when he saw her.

At that time, Lu Youxi didn't take it seriously and thought that Shen Yanqing was surprised to see Zhou Shuyan because she knew her.

Now that he thought about it, Shen Yanqing did know Zhou Shuyan, and he was surprised to see her because of Zhou Shuyan.

But it was not because he saw his colleague's wife coming to the company to discuss cooperation.

It was because he saw his boss's wife coming to the company to discuss cooperation.

Thinking of Shen Yanqing, Lu Youxi looked up, but didn't see Shen Yanqing.

It seemed like she hadn't seen Shen Yanqing since she came to Chengzhou today.

Lu Youxi got up and went to see Pei Jingyuan and the others, but Shen Yanqing was not there either.

A colleague of Cheng Zhou saw Lu Youxi looking around, so he came over and asked, "Mr. Lu, is there anything you need?"

"Ah, Manager Shen is not here today?" Lu Youxi asked.

"Oh, Manager Shen is on a business trip." The colleague explained with a smile.

Lu Youxi nodded. That was really unfortunate.

After thanking the other party, Lu Youxi thought about it, took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Zhou Shuyan.

Lu Youxi: "I'm in Chengzhou. Pei Jingyuan and the others will probably be busy here for a long time and won't be able to go back at noon. Do you want to have lunch together?"

After Zhou Shuyan received the text message, he felt guilty for a long time.

I hesitated whether to pretend I didn't see it, and then reply to her message in the afternoon saying I was busy and just saw the message? But I felt like a scumbag if I did that.

So Zhou Shuyan thought about it carefully and said, "You went to Chengzhou? What a coincidence. I'm out doing business and I'm afraid I won't be able to go back at noon."

Under normal circumstances, Lu Youxi would not think there was anything wrong with this reply.

But today I feel angry no matter how I look at it.

He was so angry that his nose snorted, and then he replied: "It's okay, I go to Chengzhou many times anyway, we can always have dinner together."

Zhou Shuyan looked at Lu Youxi's reply and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Lu Youxi did not try any further. He waited here for Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi to finish their work, and then took the interns back to the company.

But when Zhou Shuyan contacted her in the afternoon and asked her to have dinner together in the evening, Lu Youxi refused Zhou Shuyan on the pretext that she had a lot of homework to complete.

However, because Lu Youxi lived on campus, the two did not see each other every day, so Zhou Shuyan did not notice anything unusual.

In the dormitory at night, Lu Youxi sat on the bed, her back against the pillow, staring at her phone, wanting to ask Zhou Shuyan if he had cheated on her.

But in the end, this sentence was not sent out.

She thought of the details of her time with Zhou Shuyan, details that she had never noticed before, and thought of Zhou Shuyan's outstanding temperament.
