Chapter 25: Emergency
Xu Youyou took a step back immediately.
Her evasive attitude made Assistant Liu look hurt.
"What kind of help can you provide? Just tell me first." Xu Youyou said.
"Our President Lu is going to attend a dinner party tonight and must have a female companion."
When Xu Youyou heard this, her brows furrowed. She had no ill feelings towards Lu Jingyao. This man had a good hand when he first appeared on the scene. He had a good family background, was handsome, and had a successful career at a young age.
But she just felt very strange, because she didn't know Lu Jingyao in her previous life. Previously at the auction, Gu Xueying almost glued her eyes to him.
According to Xu Youyou's status in the Lu family in her previous life, the Gu family would indeed not allow her to contact Lu Jingyao, but it didn't make sense since she had never heard of him.
Considering that Gu Xueying’s husband in her previous life also had the surname Lu, it was said that he was from a branch of the Lu family. Because the young master of the main family died unexpectedly, he was lucky enough to be adopted by the main branch and inherited the Lu family’s huge fortune.
Xu Youyou couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Lu Jingyao was the unlucky guy who died early? When she thought of this, she was even more afraid to contact Lu Jingyao. After all, she was afraid that if he encountered something in the United States, she, who was close to him, would also be implicated.
"Assistant Liu, if you don't have a female companion, just don't bring it. I believe no one will dare to blame Mr. Lu for this." Xu Youyou refused with a smile.
Assistant Liu looked at Xu Youyou in disbelief. Looking at his boss's face, he found it hard to imagine that there would be a girl who would reject him.
"Ms. Xu, we really have no choice. If the gentleman does not have a female companion at tonight's banquet, there will be big trouble." Assistant Liu said with a bitter face.
Xu Youyou smiled and shook her head, saying, "How about you go to a nearby university and find a female international student?"
Assistant Liu was still anxious when he heard this: "Ms. Xu, I have tried it before, but people thought I was joking. I was also called old-fashioned and said that domineering CEO novels are not written like this now!"
Xu Youyou couldn't help laughing, and felt that the foreign students were quite venomous.
"Then let your Mr. Lu pretend to be sick and just not go." Xu Youyou said.
Assistant Liu shook his head: "The organizer invited us three times and four times, and my husband agreed early on. There are still some details of the cooperation waiting to be confirmed at the banquet."
Xu Youyou frowned slightly: "What kind of cooperation can't be explained clearly in the conference room? Do you have to go to the banquet to talk about it?"
Assistant Liu's eyes flashed with embarrassment: "Commercial secrets."
Xu Youyou raised her eyebrows: "Since it is a business secret, you can't take me with you."
Assistant Liu was embarrassed. Seeing that Xu Youyou was not interested, he could only lower his voice and say, "The daughter of the partner has a deep affection for Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu has repeatedly refused, but she keeps pestering him. Mr. Lu doesn't want to pay attention to her, but the cooperation has not been finalized yet..."
Xu Youyou understood immediately, but she and Lu Jingyao had no relationship, so even if she understood, she didn't want to put herself in danger.
【Promise him.】
The prompt that suddenly popped up in the system made Xu Youyou's eyes freeze.
"Is there any chance of getting something for nothing at this dinner?" Xu Youyou asked the system in her mind.
The system quickly gave her a positive answer and told Xu Youyou that the level of this dinner was very high and ordinary people could not enter.
Assistant Liu was still begging, and Xu Youyou did not postpone it any further. Instead, she said, "I didn't bring an evening gown, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find a professional makeup team for a while."
When Assistant Liu heard this, he was immediately delighted and showed his professionalism as a senior assistant: "Ms. Xu, don't worry, we have prepared all these in advance, we just need one person."
Xu Youyou was soon taken by Assistant Liu to a high-end private studio next to the hotel, where a Chinese makeup artist was already waiting.
When she was halfway through her makeup, several high-end brands sent her evening gowns. Xu Youyou casually picked out a burgundy evening gown with thin straps.
With the lazy and fluffy hair specially made by the stylist, the whole person is glowing with beauty, as if she can walk on the red carpet in the next second.
Assistant Liu came over holding a jewelry box and urged her. When he saw Xu Youyou coming out, he couldn't help but breathe lightly: "This is too... too beautiful..."
"We can set off now." Xu Youyou said.
Assistant Liu opened the jewelry box, revealing the sparkling blue gem inside under the flickering light.
This is a necklace dominated by sapphires. The impact of the main stone can be described in one word: big.
After Xu Youyou put on the necklace with the help of the stylist, she felt as if her neck was being pulled down.
"This is too heavy." Xu Youyou couldn't help but say.
Assistant Liu touched his nose and said, "You have to wear this necklace tonight. Mr. Lu said this is his gift to thank you for saving the situation."
When Xu Youyou heard this, she immediately felt strong all over her body. A necklace of jewelry of this level would probably cost tens of millions.
She remembered that Gu Xueying seemed to have a similar one in her previous life, which was usually kept in a safe and only taken out and worn on important occasions.
"Mr. Lu, you are so polite. I am not helping you for the sake of this necklace. I am helping others simply because I am a helpful person!" Xu Youyou smiled like a flower.
Assistant Liu's mouth twitched. If the smile on Xu Youyou's face wasn't so obvious, he might have really believed it.
Xu Youyou even suspected that this necklace was the bargain she had found tonight, but she had already put it on, so why didn’t the system give any relevant prompts?
Lu Jingyao was sitting in the car with his eyes closed, when he suddenly heard a breathing sound next to him.
"Ms. Xu..."
Lu Jingyao heard the driver's surprise.
He opened his eyes and looked out of the car.
People were coming and going behind Xu Youyou, but everyone's eyes were focused on her.
In the crowd, she was like a bright moonlight, so beautiful that she seemed to be glowing.
Lu Jingyao suddenly felt a little unhappy, as if his treasure was coveted by others, but he quickly shook his head. He and Xu Youyou had nothing to do with each other, so naturally he shouldn't have such an inexplicable possessive desire.
Seeing Xu Youyou's hand always unconsciously touching the sapphire necklace, Lu Jingyao felt a little disappointed.
The jewels are given to the beauty, but he would rather see the beauty treat the jewels as ordinary things.
He looked at Xu Youyou's slightly mercenary action and felt that it was a pity for her face as beautiful as the bright moon. Such a beautiful woman seemed to have become vulgar.
Assistant Liu was like a eunuch serving an ancient empress. He diligently opened the car door for Xu Youyou and helped her into the car by holding her hand.
After getting in the car, Xu Youyou wanted to say hello to Lu Jingyao, but she didn't know how she had offended this old man. The other party was sitting so far away from her that several 38th parallels could be drawn between the two of them.
Assistant Liu felt the air was inexplicably chilly, so he could only urge the driver: "Let's go."
