Chapter 239: Uncertain business hours
Xu Youyou didn’t take this matter to heart.
Just as she moved into Lu Jingyao's house, she received a video call from him.
"Did you have a smooth journey? Did the servants in the house clean well? Do the dishes suit your taste?" Lu Jingyao asked questions one after another.
Xu Youyou answered in turn and raised her own questions: "The journey was smooth, with only a few minor incidents, but nothing serious. The house was very clean, and I haven't tasted the chef's cooking yet. By the way, it seems to be early morning in China now, are you staying up late?"
Lu Jingyao said helplessly: "There are a lot of things piled up. I will go to bed after I finish dealing with these things on hand. What happened on the way?"
Xu Youyou told the story about Shen Wenxing.
Lu Jingyao on the other end of the video instantly became alert and said, "This is a coincidence. Given their identities, it's not easy for them to go abroad..."
Having said this, Lu Jingyao stopped talking and said, "I'm glad you're all okay."
Xu Youyou didn't know that a jealous person had already planned to fly over overnight. She looked at the French-style decorated house and said, "This house is so beautifully decorated. It feels like living in a house in an oil painting."
Lu Jingyao's expression softened immediately, and he said, "As long as you like it, my mother hired a designer friend in France to help design and decorate this house. If you like her decoration style, I can invite her to come to China and decorate the house according to your preferences."
Xu Youyou shook her head: "That's not necessary. I like the decoration styles of all the properties I own in China, except for a few that I don't plan to renovate."
Lu Jingyao did not force it, and instead said: "When you go out there, you must bring enough bodyguards. Although it is a romantic city, there are many thieves and robbers."
Xu Youyou nodded. Seeing his tired expression, Xu Youyou felt distressed and kept urging him to hang up the phone and go to rest.
Although Xu Youyou had already slept on the plane, she still slept for a few hours after landing to barely adjust to the jet lag.
In this house, Lu Jingyao has two sets of chefs, one is the standard French style and the other is the Chinese style.
Xu Youyou tasted standard French food for her first meal. Although it tasted good, she felt that she would not be able to endure it if she had to eat it for several days in a row.
Seeing that the sun was shining brightly outside, Xu Youyou prepared to go out.
"Ms. Xu, I heard from Mr. Lu that you have never been to Paris. In that case, how about we go to the Champs-Elysees as our first stop in Paris?"
The person who spoke was the local tour guide for this trip to France. She looked to be around 25 or 26 years old, with delicate makeup and a French style. She looked like a beautiful woman in a magazine.
This person was arranged by Lu Jingyao. It is said that he had received Lu's relatives last time, and the relatives reported that this tour guide was very considerate in his treatment of others.
Lu Jingyao hired the person for a month just to make it easier for Xu Youyou to travel in France.
Xu Youyou waved her hand, her eyes fell on the air, which was the golden pointer of the system.
"I have other plans. I'll go to the Champs-Elysées when I have time later." Xu Youyou explained.
The young female tour guide in front of me, hearing this, still had an impeccable smile on her face and asked: "If you don't want to go to the Champs Elysees, you can also try the Arc de Triomphe or the Louvre."
Xu Youyou waved her hand: "I told you, I have other plans."
The female tour guide smiled and said, "Ms. Xu, please trust my professional ability. Since Mr. Lu has entrusted you to me, I will definitely make you feel at home and ensure that you will not miss any of the beautiful scenery in Paris."
Even though Xu Youyou was smiling very standardly, she still felt uncomfortable. It was clearly their first meeting, but she always felt that there was a vague hostility towards him.
"Did you know Lu Jingyao before?" Xu Youyou asked tentatively.
The young female tour guide raised her lips slightly and said, "Mr. Lu and I are college alumni. He took care of me a lot back then. Now I am studying for a doctorate at Paris Sciences et Lettres University. After he learned that I was working part-time as a tour guide, he often took care of my business."
Xu Youyou raised her eyebrows: "Then you two really have a close relationship."
The female tour guide smiled gently.
"What a pity." Xu Youyou said.
There was a look of doubt in the female tour guide's eyes.
Xu Youyou said expressionlessly: "You are fired."
The female tour guide frowned slightly: "Ms. Xu, I was hired by Mr. Lu. You have no right to fire me. Please trust my professional level and don't be angry with me because of some inexplicable suspicions. Aren't you afraid of making Mr. Lu angry by doing this?"
Xu Youyou didn't even bother to explain the reason to her, and just called the bodyguard to go out.
Only the weak need to explain repeatedly. She is not the poor little girl in the Gu family in her previous life. She is also a super rich person now. Why should she let herself be angry? If Lu Jingyao had a conflict with her because of this little thing, she could fire Lu Jingyao as well.
Xu Youyou still didn't give the driver a specific destination and just sat in the car giving directions.
The driver was very obedient. Not only did he slow down, he also did not question Xu Youyou's instructions at all. He was even afraid that if he did something wrong, it would affect the amount of the tip Xu Youyou would give him.
The car drove in Paris for about an hour and a half and stopped on a cluttered street.
"Vintate market, Miss Xu, so this is where you want to come." The driver exclaimed.
Xu Youyou had no idea what this place was for, and was even confused when she saw that most of the shops on the roadside were closed.
"Why don't you open the door?" Xu Youyou asked.
The driver explained: "It's like this here. Many stores are closed on weekdays. If you come on weekends, basically all stores are open."
Xu Youyou glanced at Xu Fang.
The tacit understanding between the two was far beyond the reach of others. After a brief thought, Xu Fang asked curiously, "What is this place used for?"
"It's the second-hand market! This should be the largest second-hand market in France. It's so huge that you'll be able to walk around until your legs are weak," said the driver.
Xu Youyou thought about the time limit given by the system, and recalled the many setbacks she encountered during her last bargain-hunting mission. She vaguely felt that this time of picking up bargains would not be particularly smooth.
After she got off the car, she just walked following the system. Even though the things in several roadside shops attracted her, she did not stop, but eagerly followed the arrow to her destination.
As soon as she saw the destination, Xu Youyou couldn't help but frown. The door of the shop was closed, but the owner had thoughtfully hung a small sign above it.
The accompanying French translator hurriedly explained: "Ms. Xu, the sign says that we are in a bad mood and the business hours are uncertain."
Xu Youyou: ...
