Yue Lanxing was naturally pleased. "Okay, I'll go get the car."
The two of them went to the lumber mill and spent more than an hour picking and choosing before finally deciding on the items. Naturally, they couldn't take the items back with them, so they discussed with the lumber mill manager about delivering them to the Xu family the next day.
After Xu Zhaoyue finished the plan, she felt that the study was a bit dark and didn't want to turn on the light, so she simply went downstairs to have tea, otherwise Xiao Nan would have caught up with her again.
"Miss, those who committed the crimes have all been dealt with. Nothing of value was stolen. Steward Xu has also brought in a few new maids, and they seem more honest than the previous ones," Xiao Nan gossiped beside Xu Zhaoyue after serving tea.
Xu Zhaoyue took a sip of tea, and the taste had indeed returned to normal. "Let's see. They won't dare to take the big items out. If the smaller items don't have the Xu family's mark, then we don't need to chase after them."
"Consider it a lesson learned. Let outsiders know that the Xu family's discipline is lax, and make them keep their mouths shut."
"Yes, Miss, I will keep a close eye on them." Xiao Nan nodded, indicating that she would definitely discipline the servants strictly.
"Ring ring, ring ring..." The phone rang.
Xiao Nan ran over to answer the phone, "Hello... Oh, okay, okay." Xiao Nan covered the receiver and said to Xu Zhaoyue, "Miss, it's Miss Chen Yun on the phone."
Upon hearing that it was Chen Yun, Xu Zhaoyue put down her tea and went to answer the phone. "Chen Yun? You have time to come back?" The call lasted a while, but in the end, Xu Zhaoyue and Chen Yun agreed to have dinner together the day after tomorrow.
"Miss, what should we prepare for the day after tomorrow?" Xiao Nan had been keeping Xu Zhaoyue company the whole time.
"First, find that decryption book. She said she needs to think about where to eat and will tell me tomorrow. I'll see what clothes to wear tomorrow." Xu Zhaoyue asked Xiaonan to find the gift for Chen Yun.
"Yes, miss, I'll go right away."
When Chen Yun called the next day to reserve a restaurant, Xu Zhaoyue was watching Yue Lanxing and Uncle Sun polish the wood. "Miss, this red sandalwood has just the right softness, so it's easy to shape. It should be assembled by tonight."
“I believe what Uncle Sun said.” Xu Zhaoyue stood aside watching the two of them busy. Xiao Nan came over to report to her mistress after receiving the call, “Miss, Miss Chen just called and said she wants to have dinner on the second floor of the Golden Jubilee Hotel.”
"The second floor of the Golden Jubilee Hotel? I remember it specializes in Western food. Is she going on a date with me?" Xu Zhaoyue was puzzled because in her impression, Chen Yun was not someone who liked Western food.
Xiao Nan nodded. "It's Western food. Miss Chen also said she might bring her boyfriend along, but it's not certain yet."
"Oh, I see. Go get a fountain pen too, and find one that's reasonably priced. Oh, and get all the clothes Xiaoyun designed for me," Xu Zhaoyue instructed. "Yes, Miss, I'll take care of it right away," Xiao Nan went to prepare.
Xu Zhaoyue returned to her room and waited for a while. Xiao Nan brought people up to help her change her clothes. After trying them all on, Xu Zhaoyue chose the light green cheongsam. "This one will do. I'll pair it with those high heels and go find a green necklace."
"Yes, Miss." Xiao Nan then led her people to the storeroom to look for jewelry.
Xu Zhaoyue, wearing that light green cheongsam, stood on the balcony looking down. Yue Lanxing was still busy down there. She had been trying on clothes for quite some time, and the bottom part of the recliner she was making was already finished.
"Yue Lanxing, where is Uncle Sun?" Xu Zhaoyue asked curiously.
