Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Used to ward off evil spirits
As soon as the words fell, not only the staff who came here for a formality were stunned, but even Lu Xuan, who had been absent-minded, couldn't help but look back.
Qiao Wu's serious look reminded him of the first time they met after returning to China. She smiled and said in the car that she was looking forward to seeing him standing on the podium.
Lu Xuan is 23 years old this year and is not a young boy who knows nothing.
He didn't hesitate to quarrel with the old man and stepped into the entertainment industry with a passion for his idol. How could he not have imagined the moment when he would become successful and slap everyone in the face?
So he also worked hard.
But no one around him believed in him. These people believed more in his status and money. Even Qiao Wu hypocritically praised him for his promising film career.
Lu Xuan stared at Qiao Wu closely, trying to see any affectation or hypocrisy in her.
"This is the plan the director has drawn up," the staff member said, gritting his teeth. "Let me deliver it first."
Qiao Wu said nothing, just leaning on the sofa and drinking tea slowly.
The staff had no choice but to look to Lu Xuan for help.
Who is the boss and who is the employee? You're acting like a secretary and you're practically staring blankly in the face?!
Yes, what can we expect this second-generation rich guy to do!
The artist director's work is very busy, and it is a waste of time to encounter anything related to Lu Xuan, so he asked him to come over and send him away. He is just a secretary, and his job is to speak for Lu Xuan.
But something is not right now.
This employee felt that the time when the other party did not respond was like a year, and was even more terrifying than the boss.
The other person doesn't move or say a word, he's just playing psychological warfare with you.
Finally, he couldn't bear the pressure anymore and quickly put away the documents on his desk. "The director should be done with his work, I'll go check it out!"
I only get a few thousand dollars a month from you, I'm too lazy to help you with this kind of thing!
He quickly ran to the director's office: "Mr. Yu, you should go over there in person. Mr. Lu's secretary said he wants to talk to you in person."
"What do you want to talk about?" Yu Xiu frowned. "Aren't all the things he likes in the file? I don't pay much attention to him."
Yu Xiu didn't like dealing with Lu Xuan very much. This young master had a bad temper and was not a smooth-talking person. It was normal for him to throw things around when he was unhappy. In his words, he could afford to pay for it anyway, so he would avoid him if possible.
"It's not Mr. Lu, it's his secretary, Qiao Wu." The employee pondered for a moment. "She seems quite different to me. She didn't even look at the document."
secretary?
Could it be that the Lu family came to ask Lu Xuan for resources?
Lu Xuan only wants to play the male lead, but who would be willing to let him play the role of such a big director and such a big IP?
Yu Xiu felt a headache when he thought about this. He shouldn't have signed Lu Xuan in the first place just for his identity. He didn't get any benefits at all, and he just had a lot of trouble all day long.
Worried that the young master would lose his temper again, he quickly finished his work and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look."
As he pushed open the door of the conference room, Yu Xiu's eyes were instantly caught by the woman facing him. His picky eyes in judging people over the years were greatly satisfied at this moment, and his resentment instantly dissipated.
The woman was wearing a plain one-shoulder jumpsuit and a pair of diamond-studded armlets, which looked formal yet very stylish.
Yu Xiu didn't hide his surprise at all: "Hello."
The moment he saw the other person raise her head, he had already set up the stage for her and was just waiting for the spotlight to shine on her.
"I'm Yu Xiu, the artist director of GS." He said proactively.
Qiao Wu stood up and stretched out his hand: "Qiao Wu."
Joe what?
Yu Xiu looked at her in astonishment, then looked at Lu Xuan beside him, and instantly felt that it was a waste of resources!
If you have the conditions, why would you follow such a second-generation rich guy?
He shook hands with the other person blankly and repeated unconsciously: "Hello."
Qiao Wu: "Please sit down."
"Ah? Ok, alright."
The moment he sat down, Yu Xiu suddenly realized that something was wrong. Who was the host and who was the guest? Why was he suddenly being led by the nose?
He sat up straight and placed the document on the table again. "I heard you wanted to talk to me. Is there any problem with the plan here?"
Qiao Wu then opened the plan, but after glancing at the first page of TV dramas with messy names, he closed it again: "They are all problems."
Sure enough, they were here to ask for resources. Yu Zheng said with a serious expression, "Teacher Lu's situation is quite complicated. The company can only select suitable projects according to his requirements. These are all the protagonists. What's the problem? The company also has to weigh the pros and cons. We can't just randomly fill in people without following the requirements of the partners. Teacher Lu's reputation will be affected in the future, right?"
Everyone in this line of work can speak freely. Yu Xiu wanted to continue speaking but was interrupted.
"Let's skip the high-sounding talk for now." Qiao Wu handed over the materials he had prepared. "This is the short-term development plan we prepared for Teacher Lu. Take a look."
It turns out he came prepared.
Yu Xiu opened it cautiously, and after looking at it for about ten seconds, he was shocked.
This plan is more detailed and complete than the one made by the company's employees, from image and personality to sustainable development to resource integration and artist team, from rough to detailed.
The key point is that the situations of asking for unreasonable resources that he imagined did not happen, and he also planned the number of classes Lu Xuan needed to attend and the time for assessments every week.
It seems like Lu Xuan is going to develop seriously and work hard on this path.
Seeing Yu Xiu carefully read the document, Qiao Wu handed him another one: "This is a suitable role and fashion promotion resources for him in the short term."
Yu Xiu's originally furrowed brows had already completely relaxed, and he took it immediately without even bothering to see anyone's reaction.
There is no important character from beginning to end, but these are not small productions that no one knows about. Most of the crew members can be named, and even some of them are unknown, the names in the script seem quite reliable.
Yu Xiu read them one by one and asked dully, "What does this mean?"
Qiao Wu smiled and said, "Teacher Lu doesn't have a deep understanding of the entertainment industry, nor does he have any experience in this field, so he took many detours in the past. This is one of them."
That's a bit too nice of a statement.
Didn't he understand it well enough? Every time he interacted with someone, they were all big shots. But he was just busy drinking with them.
Before Yu Xiu could even pretend to agree, he heard the other party suddenly change the subject: "Secondly, I'm here to hold you accountable."
Yu Xiu: "Whose responsibility should be held?"
Qiao Wu said calmly, "Teacher Lu has signed a five-year contract with you. During the contract period, you are responsible for planning his development path and supervising him. He is young and inexperienced, haven't you done the same?"
Yu Xiu: “…”
Still young in your twenties?
Do I still need to feed him?!
"That's not quite right." Yu Xiu also used the skills he had acquired over the years in dealing with various people. "The company didn't ignore Mr. Lu, nor did they withhold any of his resources. They were always thinking about him. Is it us who can decide whether the result is good or bad?"
"The success or failure of entertainment resources depends on the right time, right place, and right people." Qiao Wu smiled. "Of course, I can't blame you for the right time, but you also don't have the right place and people."
Yu Xiu was about to refute.
Qiao Wu immediately seized the opportunity and spoke in a resounding voice, "Lu Xuan's personal ability issues are partly to blame. We don't deny that, but isn't it also a problem that you're allowing him to develop freely without interfering? Or does your company treat every artist this way? If that's the case, I'd like to advise your company to change its business as soon as possible."
"No." Yu Xiu laughed in anger. "So we're wrong for giving in to him? Then why didn't you tell us when he gets angry, acts like a big shot, and disappears when things don't go his way?"
Lu Xuan felt a sharp poke on the spine, and his lips moved.
Qiao Wu: "Even if he breaches the contract and is asked to pay compensation, it's not like he can't afford it."
Yu Xiu: “…”
Lu Xuan: “…”
"You're unwilling to let him go, this big fish. On the surface, you're being obedient, but behind the scenes, you're using this inferior stuff to deal with him." Qiao Wu tapped his fingertips on the so-called "planning document." "Isn't this your responsibility?"
She smiled and said, "Director Yu, isn't it a bit hard to be both a good person and a bad person?"
Yu Xiu was sweating all over his back.
Because Qiao Wu was not being unreasonable. Apart from saying that he was inexperienced, his words were not biased at all. He even asked Lu Xuan to pay him compensation. What else could he say?
"So? You want to terminate your contract with us now?"
"Then why am I showing you the plan?" Qiao Wu took a sip of water to moisten his throat, leaned back, and raised his eyes slightly. "I just hope your company will learn from this and stop using the same tricks to fool us. Like today, you only invite a nobody to chat with you. Treat Lu Xuan the same way you treat others. But everything must be fair and reasonable. If this happens again, we will treat it as a breach of contract."
That's easy to say.
For the company, if Lu Xuan really followed the instructions, it would save a lot of trouble, and at least he would not be called a second-generation rich kid.
Yu Xiu glanced pointedly at Lu Xuan, whose expression was not very good. "You don't have the final say on this. What's Mr. Lu's attitude?"
Qiao Wu turned around and asked with a smile, "I'm asking you, Teacher Lu, what's your attitude?"
"So you can still see me."
Lu Xuan grabbed his sunglasses and put them on, refusing to communicate.
Everything has been arranged clearly for him, what else can he say?
Yu Xiu was very surprised. Based on his understanding of Lu Xuan, this young master hated others making decisions for him the most.
I didn't expect the reaction now to be so calm, even harmonious.
"In that case, let's do as you say. If Mr. Lu doesn't cooperate, we'll treat it as a breach of contract. Don't deny it then."
"It's okay." Qiao Wu said, "I know the combination to his safe."
Lu Xuan: “?”
"Why?" Qiao Wu said lightly, "Didn't you teach me this?"
Yu Xiu couldn't understand the riddle between the two people, and when he saw that the other party was not aggressive, he suddenly felt relieved.
To be honest, he really couldn't remain calm and talk business with Qiao Wu. The other party's attitude was simple, direct and strong, which caught him off guard. Are all the secretaries of rich families so beautiful and capable?
"Speaking of which," Yu Xiu asked eagerly, "With Ms. Qiao's qualifications and knowledge, if she could enter the entertainment industry, her future would definitely be bright. Have you ever considered it?"
In fact, it’s not like someone has said this to Qiao Wu before.
It's just that she doesn't like exposing her life to so many people, so she has no interest in this line of work, and she herself is not a very ostentatious person.
Before she could shake her head.
Lu Xuan, who had been playing it down, suddenly kicked the table and said in a bad tone: "Get it clear, she is from my family."
He pulled his sunglasses down a little and sneered, "Your salary isn't even enough to buy her a piece of jewelry."
Yu Xiu: “…”
After all, he is a high-income person. How can he not afford the jewelry of a secretary?
Yu Xiu was stunned when his eyes caught sight of the diamond bracelet on Qiao Wu's arm.
No way? Really?
Yeah, she doesn't look like a secretary.
"Excuse me," Yu Xiu asked uncertainly, "Isn't Miss Qiao Mr. Lu's secretary?"
"No." Qiao Wu smiled, "I'm the Lu family's housekeeper."
"ah?!"
Such a young butler?
No, does this mean they earn more than a secretary? What kind of housekeeper dares to do the job of a secretary part-time?
Isn’t it better to be a star than to do odd jobs for others?
The shock and regret on Yu Xiu's face were so obvious that Lu Xuan was very unhappy.
What happened to the housekeeper?
"Do you know how much her annual salary is?"
"How many?"
Lu Xuan laughed briefly, picked up the pen on the table, wrote a number on the discarded plan, and threw it in front of Yu Xiu: "Now you understand the difference between her and those useless people who can't even write a plan properly?"
Who are you scolding? !
Yu Xiu looked down and his eyes almost popped out of his head.
Is being a housekeeper so lucrative these days?
Is the plan she wrote inlaid with diamonds!
Then he really can't afford other people's jewelry.
"Excuse me," he said flatly.
Hiss, my tooth hurts.
Qiao Wu changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this. I've picked out a few suitable agents from the list you gave me. If Director Yu is free, could you help me choose one later?"
"OK."
It was already afternoon when they finished all the things. Qiao Wu simply took Lu Xuan out for dinner, during which time he received a call from Lu Jiang.
"Old man."
Lu Jiang hummed: "Have you contacted Lao Er? When will he return to China?"
"He didn't say."
Lu Jiang in the hospital frowned.
No matter how well-informed and well-connected the second brother is, he has been abroad for two years. He almost never asked about the big or small matters in the group. Now he is returning to China, it would be strange if he is not in a panic.
But on second thought, I realized that the second child has been independent since childhood and is not overly dependent on anyone.
If Qiao Wu stayed by his side, it would probably be difficult.
"Don't worry about anything else for now. Go to the company. My secretary will be waiting for you there. You can draw up a list first." Lu Jiang said, "The second brother's return to China can be a big deal or a small one. He needs an opportunity."
Qiao Wu understood.
Before Lu Jinzhi went abroad, Lu Jiang was still the boss of the domestic group.
Now that Lu Jinzhi has made achievements abroad, Lu Jiang wants to give him a chance to take a position, so he wants to take the opportunity of his return to tell everyone.
But considering Lu Jinzhi's personality, he doesn't think that hosting a dinner party can determine whether he is capable. In the original plot, "she" took this opportunity to hold a grand dinner party without telling Lu Jinzhi, wanting to let everyone know that "she" can stand by Lu Jinzhi's side.
In fact, Lu Jinzhi did not attend the event that day, which caused the invited guests to feel humiliated and dissatisfied with Lu Jinzhi.
"Old man," Qiao Wu came back to his senses, "why don't we talk to Mr. Lu about this first before making a decision?"
Lu Jiang knows his son too well.
"He wouldn't mind this kind of socializing."
Perhaps because he was born with extraordinary intelligence, his son is even more dull in other aspects.
To put it bluntly, some ordinary emotions are difficult for others to empathize with.
Qiao Wu said gently, "Not caring is one thing, discussing it is another. You know he doesn't care, but you still want to do something without telling him. If there's an information gap, what if it backfires?"
Lu Jiang's eyes on the other end were a little deep.
After a long while, he said, "Go to the company and talk to my secretary. We'll talk then."
"OK."
Qiao Zhiyi had been coming to the hospital to accompany Lu Jiang whenever he had nothing to do recently. Seeing him look puzzled after hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but ask, "Did Xiaowu do something wrong?"
He was really nervous all the time, fearing that if he made a mistake at any time, Xiaowu would be doomed.
Although it is a modern society, living in an environment like the Lu family is no different from living with a tiger.
Lu Jiang looked up at him and suddenly smiled: "They say a tiger father will have a dog son, why doesn't it apply to you?"
"What?"
"I do have a prejudice against Qiao Wu," Lu Jiang said bluntly, "but lately I've come to think that she's more suitable for this position than you."
Qiao Zhiyi is honest and sincere, but he is very obedient in everything he does. He is too indecisive and lacks courage.
But Qiao Wu has indeed impressed Lu Jiang recently. He can refute his words with reason and evidence without being humble or arrogant, and he is decisive and rational.
There are countless people who listen, but very few who dare to speak.
Lu Jiang asked, "Did you know that the third and fourth brothers tried to pry open my safe a few days ago?"
The alarm could be heard throughout the Lu residence. Qiao Zhiyi was about to say he knew, but when he saw Lu Jiang's uncontrollable smile, he became puzzled: "Are you happy?"
Lu Jiang remained noncommittal: "They came to apologize to me the next day.
"You know what? An apology means telling me you're sorry."
Although the process is a bit tortuous.
Sooner or later, the door of this hospital will be kicked down by those two rebellious sons.
It was like coming to apologize and collecting a debt. One stood at the door and didn't even come in, and the other sat on the sofa without even raising his head, acting like he was worth two and a half million.
But I did say sorry.
If this had happened in the past, Lu Jiang would never have dared to think about it.
He suddenly felt that his sons were not hopeless, and thought eagerly: "You say, they are so curious about my safe, should I put a few more? If they want something inside, I can put more."
Qiao Zhiyi answered subconsciously: "Will."
"?"
The smile on Lu Jiang's face froze instantly.
As expected, there is no such thing as a free apology.
Treason! ! !
They don't want a penny!
-
Lu Xuan didn't have to go to class today. When he heard that Qiao Wu was going to the company, he followed him. He had no other intention, he just wanted to see how capable the housekeeper he hired with so much money was.
He has no interest in the family's money and power, and thinks those who fight over company shares are stupid.
Anyway, everyone will be happy in the end if they get the inheritance shares. Who would like to live like Lu Jinzhi, surrounded by a pile of documents and fighting against others all day long?
Even if the Lu family does not fight for power, the relationship between the brothers will be just like that, but one thing is one thing.
So he seldom came to the company, and never interfered in any of the company's affairs.
He is used to being lazy, and this place is like a prison to him!
From the moment the two of them walked into the company gate, many employees looked over at them.
"Is that Third Master Lu?"
"It's him. I've seen him on the trending searches. I heard he has a bad temper and is always acting like a big shot. He doesn't care about food or meat. He has a bad reputation. Stay away from him."
"Then the one next to him wouldn't be..."
Lu Xuan, wearing sunglasses, glanced at everyone wantonly. Upon hearing this, he walked over and raised his head, "You know I have a bad temper, yet you dare to speak so loudly? What department are you from and what's your name? I'll deduct your salary."
The man was so frightened that his face turned pale and he apologized hurriedly.
Putting his sunglasses back on, Lu Xuan wandered back to Qiao Wu's side and said softly, "I suddenly feel like being a boss isn't bad."
The more he thought about it, the more promising it seemed: "If Lu Jinzhi and I take over this position, will you come to assist me then?"
Qiao Wu said perfunctorily: "Hmmmm."
Lu Xuan touched his chin: "That's not impossible. What does a boss do?"
Qiao Wu curved his lips and said, "You'll know in a moment."
The two of them went straight into the special elevator.
As soon as the elevator door closed, there was an uproar outside.
"Why is the Third Young Master here at the company? Who is that person next to him?"
"Isn't Mr. Lu sick? Maybe the Third Young Master can't make it in the entertainment industry anymore and wants to take over the company."
"What about the Second Young Master? Didn't he say he was going back to China?"
"The internal strife among the wealthy families is full of hidden murderous intentions and bloody events. It's terrifying."
"So who is the person next to the Third Young Master? Is he also a celebrity?"
"I guess so. He's so good-looking."
"But judging by her temperament, why does it seem like she is leading the Third Young Master?"
"It can't be that the couple is united..."
The two people who entered the elevator had no idea what was being discussed outside. Compared to Lu Xuan, who was even more vicious in trying to scare people, Qiao Wu didn't react at all the whole time, as if he couldn't tolerate those insignificant people in his eyes.
This dead look is exactly like Lu Jinzhi's.
Lu Xuan couldn't stand seeing this, so he asked, "Have you been here before?"
"No."
I went abroad at the age of 20 and had no chance to work in the group.
In fact, Lu Jiang's secretary can directly coordinate these tasks with Lu Jinzhi abroad, but the reason for asking her to come here today is simply to see how much control she has over the company's affairs and what her ability is.
Qiao Wu didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"Then you're still pretending to be quite good."
"I'm not pretending, I'm just like that. If you listen to everything a person says, you won't be able to do your own thing."
Qiao Wu smiled and said, "What's more, it's just meaningless nonsense."
Why waste time on such a person of low character, whose monthly salary is not as high as her hourly wage.
The value is not equal.
Lu Xuan leaned against the elevator car, looking her up and down, and inexplicably felt that he was shorter than her.
The rumors were getting more and more outrageous. The entire group was in a panic because of Lu Xuan's sudden impulse, and the company gossip groups were making all kinds of speculations privately.
As he was about to return to China, Lu Jinzhi had already freed up a lot of time to listen to work reports from people in domestic companies every day.
He would not directly use Lu Jiang's people, so as to avoid Lu Jiang harboring resentment, but he also had his own channels, which were just more secretive.
In the video, the other person's tone changed as he spoke.
Lu Jinzhi raised his eyes and saw that Xu Chao's eyes were wandering, and he could even clearly see surprise.
He paused and leaned back, tapping the tip of his pen lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound.
After being reminded, Xu Chao immediately focused. The company group was so lively today that he thought something big had happened, so he clicked on it to take a look during the report. Unexpectedly, he saw the third young master and a strange woman coming to the company.
"It's the Third Young Master who's here," he explained immediately. "There's also a beautiful woman with him. Everyone says she might be his girlfriend."
If it weren't for her outstanding appearance, no one would have guessed this.
"Is the Third Young Master also coming to work in the company?" Xu Chao wondered, "I haven't received any news."
Lu Xuan?
If you don’t even know whether you are signing your name to Party A or Party B, what can you do in the company?
It's unlucky to be a mascot.
It can ward off evil spirits.
But this idiot can even pry open a safe, so what can't he do?
Lu Jinzhi put down his pen and said, "Go and take a look."
Xu Chao stood up immediately after receiving the order. He also worked in the president's office and used to be Lu Jinzhi's right-hand man.
Now that Lu Jinzhi is going back to China, he will naturally continue to work for President Lu.
Xu Chaocai opened the door of the small conference room and saw two people walking out of the elevator, but it was not the same as what was said in the group, because it was obvious that the main person was not Lu Xuan, but that woman.
That is...
"Butler Xiao Qiao." Secretary Xie Yi was already waiting nearby. "Please follow me."
housekeeper?
Seeing them coming, Xu Chao immediately turned around and looked at the computer whose camera was still on.
Lu Jinzhi obviously saw it as well, but he made the decision in an instant.
Seeing President Lu's hands casually resting on the table, his eyes fixed on the camera with no intention of turning it off, Xu Chao immediately understood what he meant. He turned around with his computer in his arms, looked up and nodded slightly to the people who had entered: "Secretary General."
"You know this is the Third Young Master. This is Qiao Wu." Xie Yi didn't mean to avoid anyone. If Qiao Wu could really pass Mr. Lu's assessment, Xu Chao would also have to deal with Qiao Wu after he retired, so he said, "You should listen here too."
Then he turned to Qiao Wu and said, "This is Xu Chao, who used to be with Mr. Lu."
Qiao Wu extended his hand toward the other party: "Hello, Qiao Wu."
Looking closer, the woman's facial features were impeccable. Her smile seemed to be glowing, and her aura was no less impressive than anyone else's.
At least Xu Chao had never seen the same qualities as Qiao Wu in the old butler in the past.
Under the gaze of those shallow eyes, he actually had the illusion that he was honored to be looked at in such a way.
Xu Chao subconsciously pinched the corner of his clothes to make sure his hands were sweat-free before reaching out: "Hello, Xu Chao, I'll sit next to you and won't disturb you."
Having said that, he immediately retreated to his seat.
Lu Xuan casually pulled out the nearest chair and sat down lazily.
Qiao Wu also sat down with Xie Yi. Her seat was facing Xu Chao, and naturally, facing the camera of the laptop.
Compared to the video he saw last time at the beach and the surveillance video of the chaos at home, Qiao Wu in the camera this time was clearer and closer, so close that Lu Jinzhi could see every little movement of hers.
Hear the sound of paper rubbing against each other as she flips through the documents.
When she is doing something seriously, she is always quiet and can isolate herself from the surroundings, creating her own world.
Lu Jinzhi suddenly felt that he saw the shadow of the little child in the past in her.
She is smarter and calmer than her peers, so compared with Lu Xuan and the others, she sometimes makes people feel out of place.
It looked strange when I was a child, but now it seems so natural.
As if she was supposed to be like this.
If she was pretending, then Lu Xuan should really take her as his teacher and learn what superb acting skills are.
But if he wasn't pretending, how do you explain the past few years?
Lu Jinzhi listened to the sound and rubbed his fingertips unconsciously.
This side of the camera.
"This is the progress of some of the major projects that Mr. Lu used to handle. It also includes information and news about the departments and every employee directly related to Mr. Lu, including information about partnerships and competing companies, so you can keep up with them later." Xie Yi said, "Most of this will be taken over by employees like Xu Chao after Mr. Lu returns to China, but you still need to understand the details and supervise everything."
Qiao Wu glanced through it.
There was a thick stack of information in her hand, and of course it was impossible to expect her to read it in detail in such a short time. That would be nonsense, as she was not a scanner.
Seeing Xu Chao's name was first on the list, she pulled out her phone and opened the QR code. "This is my work number. I'm online 24 hours a day. Don't bother me with any small matters that can be handled by the company's employees. If necessary, call me if I don't get a reply within five minutes. If it's urgent, call me directly. I hope you can do the same."
This simple, direct and quick method left Xu Chao stunned.
Until Qiao Wu raised his eyes in confusion: "Hmm?"
"Oh!" Xu Chao quickly took out his mobile phone and added WeChat.
Then Qiao Wu said, "Since you are the top employee around Mr. Lu, people below you two levels don't need to contact me unless necessary."
Xu Chao was terrified when he heard this.
The big Buddha you mentioned is still here listening.
Are you such a big star that you speak in such an arrogant tone?
Qiao Wu asked, "Is there a problem?"
"I..." Xu Chao subconsciously glanced at the computer and found that there was no response from Mr. Lu, so he said with a stiff upper lip, "No problem."
Qiao Wu suddenly smiled: "If you have any questions, just tell me. How can we communicate in the future if you doubt me before we even start working?"
Xu Chao, who was seen through, touched the tip of his nose and said, "I want to ask, why?"
Qiao Wu could guess his thoughts and said, "I am the Lu family's housekeeper, not Lu Jinzhi's alone. Even though he is the first in line, my time is limited. I must ensure the highest work efficiency in the shortest possible time. Do you understand?"
The servants at home can only come to her to report their work. If everyone in the company has to come to her for every matter, big or small, she will not be able to bear it.
Xu Chao was in a daze: "I understand."
A housekeeper actually has to do so many things?
Qiao Wu quickly flipped through the documents, and after getting a general idea in his mind, he asked, "Who is currently liaising with Mr. Lu?"
"I," Xie Yi said, "have finalized the general direction, so I'll hand over the other details to others soon."
"Who is that other person? Xu Chao?"
"right."
In fact, it was originally supposed to be Qiao Wu's, but for some reason, President Lu directly mentioned Xu Chao, so this was the only arrangement.
"You'd better speak more clearly next time." Qiao Wu handed the divided materials to Xu Chao. "Print out a copy of these project details. I don't need to teach you how to divide them into sections and highlight the key points."
The boss has to read countless documents every day. If he needs to look at the details of each document himself, his efficiency will be very low. Therefore, mature secretaries will mark the important parts for the boss.
Xu Chao nodded.
Qiao Wu: "Send me a copy before you finish it. I'll send it to Mr. Lu once I'm sure there are no problems. The deadline is three days."
Xu Chao couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you send it yourself?"
Qiao Wu smiled and said, "I just want to confirm whether you are capable enough to stay by Mr. Lu's side. If you do all the work for me, then what do you want to do?"
"...Okay." This time Xu Chao didn't have to hesitate. Qiao Wu looked like she would answer every question. Since others were questioning him, he also had the right to question her.
So when Xu Chao had a question, he would ask directly: "Then how do you know whether what I did is right or wrong?"
"As long as you do your job well," Qiao Wu raised an eyebrow. "As long as it goes through my hands, I'll naturally take responsibility if any problems arise. You can relay our conversation today to President Lu intactly."
Okay, Mr. Lu has heard it.
One inside the computer and one outside the computer.
Xu Chao felt like he was being attacked from both sides, and his scalp was tingling.
Qiao Wu placed his hands on the table and asked with a smile, "Any more questions?"
Xie Yi shook his head. In fact, all the content of today's conversation can be seen on the surveillance camera. Mr. Lu asked Qiao Wu to come here today to see how she would arrange the next things, and to see from these details her usual logical ability and courage in dealing with things.
Anyone who comes to work on these projects in the company has to explore them first, so how can we expect her to understand them all at once?
So Xie Yi was also shocked that Qiao Wu was so confident that she let Xu Chao examine her and dared to take responsibility.
In fact, Qiao Wu grew up in the Lu family. Combined with his work experience in his previous life, he naturally knew what the Lu family's business sectors were and focused on them in his studies.
"Since everything is fine, let's stop here." Qiao Wu nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work."
Xie Yi's heart finally relaxed and he smiled: "You've worked hard too."
He has been with Mr. Lu for many years and was very worried about the fact that Mr. Lu would entrust such an important matter to a housekeeper, but now he sees.
Mr. Lu is a very outstanding person, and those who can stay by his side are also very remarkable people.
Xie Yi turned to look at Lu Xuan: "Then why did the Third Young Master come here today..."
Lu Xuan hadn't found a chance to interrupt since these people started talking. He even sat up a little straighter subconsciously while listening to Qiao Wu speak, inexplicably worried that his salary would be deducted for his improper sitting posture.
He was very unhappy now. He took off his sunglasses and threw them on the table. He picked up the thick stack of documents and said lazily, "Let me see how to bring Lu Jinzhi down and take his place."
gratitude:"……"
Xu Chao: “!!!”
Can they listen to the declaration of war between wealthy brothers?
Lu Xuan was very unhappy, especially after hearing Qiao Wu say that Lu Jinzhi was the first choice.
Lu Jinzhi, this dog coin, loved to snatch Qiao Wu from his schoolbag when he was a child.

Xu Chao's legs went weak and he looked towards the camera of the notebook tremblingly.
Mr. Lu seemed not to hear it, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of his lips.
"Turn the screen around," he said gently.
The sound was not loud, but the entire small conference room could hear it clearly.
Xu Chao shook his head and pointed the trembling computer at the stunned people.
After seeing the face clearly on the screen, Qiao Wu was stunned.
Compared to the lonely and arrogant silhouette in the dream, Lu Jinzhi at this moment was less sinister, and even looked like a spring breeze at first glance. Only by looking closely could one know the depth in his eyes.
His facial features were not as unruly as Lu Yingchi's, nor as demonic as Lu Xuan's, but as profound and cold as Mo Yi's.
Lu Xuan's eyes widened, but luckily he was wearing glasses so no one could see. He sneered, "Lu Jinzhi, how shady are you? You only know how to eavesdrop on other people's conversations."
Lu Jinzhi didn't rush him, but just smiled gently: "From today on, your card will be suspended."
