Chapter 211 Gossip
"I have a lot of work to do and I really can't get away. Let Wang Hua accompany you to climb the mountain!" Lu Jingyou felt that he had made it very clear and he would not let himself be entangled in such trivial matters.
"Brother Jingyou, are you saying this because you don't want to be with me?" Yan Xuewei bit her lip and said, "I don't mean to pester you, I just, I just want to come and see you, I..."
Wang Hua lowered his head and dared not breathe.
"Xuewei, don't say that. My grandfather brought you and Jingyou together. He's your fiancé now. It's only natural for you to come and see your fiancé." Lin Manli glared at Lu Jingyou. "You have to go today even if you don't want to. Your grandfather agreed to our coming here."
Lu Jingyou said nothing, just stood up and left.
"Jingyou, Lu Jingyou, come back here!" Lin Manli was furious and gnashed her teeth, "He's just like his bastard father, he's always a worry to me."
"Auntie, calm down." Yan Xuewei said with red eyes, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have asked him that. He didn't like me in the first place."
"What do you mean by like or dislike? He's just that way." Lin Manli comforted Yan Xuewei, "When I see him again, I'll teach him a lesson."
Wang Hua sat there awkwardly.
It's not a good idea to leave, nor is it a good idea to stay.
Unfortunately, his leader didn't give him any instructions, so he had no choice but to find a way out. He said awkwardly, "Boss Lin, we've been really busy lately. The project department encountered a technical problem, and Boss Lu has been following up on it. He hasn't had a good rest for several days..."
"Tell me, which day are you not busy?" Lin Manli asked back. This trick might be able to fool a little girl, but could it really fool her?
“…” Wang Hua was speechless.
"Since you're so busy, we won't bother you anymore. Just get back to work!" Lin Manli still gave Wang Hua some face. "Tell Mr. Lu that we're going hiking on our own. He doesn't need to worry about it."
Wang Hua felt relieved.
He ran out as if escaping.
"Your reactions are getting slower and slower." Lu Jingyou was already waiting for him in the passenger seat, and said indifferently, "Go to the project department. You're going to be late for the morning meeting."
"Okay." Wang Hua wiped the sweat from his forehead, started the car, and drove towards the project department. "Mr. Lu, Mr. Lin said they want to go hiking on their own. We don't need to worry about it."
Hearing this, Lu Jingyou took out his phone and called Lin Manli, "Mom, I'll go hiking with you when I'm free. You'd better not go today. I've been to Wudao Mountain before, and many places there haven't been fully developed into tourist attractions. It won't be too late to go in September."
"Just focus on your work, why would you bother with us?" Lin Manli saw that it was Lu Jingyou calling, so she stood up and walked to the window, saying unhappily, "I brought Xuewei here, so of course I have to have fun with her. Since you're not interested in her, don't ask so many questions."
With that, she hung up the phone.
"Go climb the mountain with them today!" Lu Jingyou said to Wang Hua, "Tell them not to go too far. Just play at the foot of the mountain. Be careful."
"Okay, I understand." Wang Hua agreed verbally, but secretly groaned in his heart. He was very afraid of Lin Manli, a woman who was too smart and too strong. She was not easy to get along with, and even harder to serve.
After the morning meeting, Lu Jingyou went back to the construction site and was busy until the afternoon before returning to the office. He looked at his watch and planned to take Su Jiaojiao out for hot pot in the evening. Just as he was thinking about it, he received a call from Wang Hua. Wang Hua's voice was very panicked: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Lin and Miss Yan are missing."
"What do you mean it's missing? Explain it clearly." Lu Jingyou stood up and walked out with his coat.
"We climbed halfway up the mountain, and then Mr. Lin asked me to go get some water. When I returned, I couldn't find them," Wang Hua said hurriedly. "Their bags are with me, and I can't contact them."
"Keep looking. I'll be there soon. Let's keep in touch." Lu Jingyou left the office, started the car and drove off. After walking for a while, he called the project department again, "Xiao Liu, go to the Jinxi Clothing Wholesale Market to pick someone up. I'll send you her phone number. Just drop her off at the Grain and Oil Compound."
He was driving while calling Su Jiaojiao. The phone rang for a long time but no one answered. He had to stop the car and send her a text message: Wang Hua and I have something to do today, I'll ask Xiao Liu to pick you up, and he'll call you when he arrives.
Su Jiaojiao was busy and didn't hear the phone ringing or read the text messages. She wanted to finish dealing with the leather jackets on hand and go back early.
After finishing all this work and just sitting down to drink some water, she received a call from an unfamiliar number. The caller said that Lu Jingyou asked him to pick her up and that he would be there soon and asked her to wait for him in a conspicuous place.
Only then did Su Jiaojiao see Lu Jingyou's call and text message, and called the strange number back, telling him not to worry and that she would not close the stall until six o'clock.
Xiao Liu came in a pickup truck.
He was very enthusiastic and talkative. He helped Su Jiaojiao move the remaining leather jackets to the back stall and introduced himself seriously, "Hello, Miss Su. My name is Liu Yang. I'm the same age as Wang Hua. We joined Jiahe in the same year. I'm mainly responsible for arranging Mr. Lu's work. Like Wang Hua, I'm Mr. Lu's right-hand man. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
"Hello Mr. Liu, thank you for your help." Su Jiaojiao knew him. He was one of Lu Jingyou's right-hand men. He was enthusiastic and talkative, and his nickname was Gossip Brother.
On the way, Liu Yang started gossiping, "Boss Lu and Wang Hua went hiking with his mother and girlfriend. Tomorrow is Chinese Valentine's Day, and his girlfriend came from the capital to celebrate it with him. It was very romantic."
"It's indeed romantic." Su Jiaojiao smiled.
In his previous life, Lu Jingyou and Yan Xuewei broke up after dating for a while. Although she didn't know the reason, it was probably Lu Jingyou who proposed the breakup. At that time, Yan Xuewei even went to the company to quarrel with him, and everyone in the company knew about it.
In this life, Lu Jingyou is still willing to accompany her to climb mountains and celebrate Chinese Valentine's Day. Maybe there will be a turning point for them.
She remembered Lu Jingyou saying that he wanted to experience different lives and appreciate different scenery.
Perhaps, Yan Xuewei is also one of the scenery.
She didn't remember a single word of what Liu Yang said.
When they arrived at the grain and oil compound, she got off the car first, took the remaining twenty or so leather jackets from the truck bed, said hello to Liu Yang, and carried them upstairs.
Liu Yang was stunned. He originally wanted to help her carry it up, but she did it herself while he was just answering a phone call.
Back in the room, Su Jiaojiao counted the remaining leather jackets and found there were twenty-six.
She will sell for one more day tomorrow, and no matter how much is left, she will not sell any more, and then she will take the train home tomorrow night.
He was so busy that she couldn't continue to disturb him.
