Chapter 322 So-called Investment
Cao Qianli, however, looked like he had expected this, and explained to Xu Youyou: "Don't be fooled by his delicate tone, his family is actually very arrogant, and there is nothing they can't handle in Hualien."
Liu Yishou said casually: "Miss Xu looks like a well-educated and well-mannered person. Don't make it seem like she's going to Hualien to fight."
Xu Youyou shook her head slightly and said, "I just went over to take a look. It's not as exaggerated as you say."
The others laughed when they heard this.
There weren't actually many people attending the welcoming banquet today, but those present were all Lu Jingyao's friends or their relatives.
Among them was a young girl, wearing a custom-made dress and a diamond necklace around her neck, her eyes fixed on the scene of the moon surrounded by stars.
She tried to hold it back, but couldn't hold it back any longer. She reached out and tugged at her boyfriend's sleeve, whispering, "You're all trying to make her happy, but Lu Jingyao can't see it. And even if he does, what can he do? We're just running our own business, why do we need to please them?"
Her boyfriend gave her a strange look and said, "You talk weird."
The young girl became even more unhappy. She had been trying to cheer her boyfriend up, but she had never seen him smile at her like that. Naturally, she felt that the people present were being too exaggerated.
"You're the one who's wondering. Xu Youyou is only Lu Jingyao's fiancée, not Madam Lu in the true sense of the word. Besides, even if she becomes Madam Lu, she may not be able to make the decision."
Her boyfriend managed to sort out some of his thoughts and turned to ask her, "You told me before that your father is doing real estate business in Europe, and you often help your father?"
Hearing this, the young girl raised her chin slightly and said, "Why do you suddenly ask this? Indeed, I am not a woman who relies on my boyfriend. My father's business still relies on me for help."
When her boyfriend heard this, he quietly pulled his arm back and said, "Even if your father were here at an occasion like today, he would probably join us in trying to make Miss Xu happy. You are so arrogant. I really doubt whether you have ever done business before."
His words actually made him start to doubt even his girlfriend's personality.
His girlfriend had finally managed to coax a rich man into her life by relying on her packaged identity as a white, rich and beautiful woman. When she heard this, she was shocked and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about? I've also studied in Europe. Do I need to coax you?"
Her boyfriend, who had been convinced of her identity, shook his head and said, "You do have a diploma, but I always felt something was wrong. Now I finally understand."
"What do you mean?"
"You don't look like the daughter of a businessman at all, and you don't look like you have ever run a business yourself."
The pretty girl's eyes widened. She and her boyfriend were about to get married and they had already met his parents. His parents were so pleased with her that they had even given her a luxury car. She never expected that things would suddenly fall apart.
Why did her boyfriend only focus on Xu Youyou? He said, "Ms. Xu may not be as wealthy as Brother Lu, but my parents didn't come to the banquet in person today, but they told me privately that I must coax Miss Xu and not let her be unhappy at all."
"You must be uncomfortable with a group of grown men trying to please a little girl, or you have never experienced this before, so you are stopping me."
The young girl's face turned pale and red when her boyfriend said that. She came from a socialite training class where she learned how to win over men. She had never experienced such a situation before. She didn't know how much effort she had put into winning over the man in front of her. Naturally, she was not used to other young girls becoming the center of attention without doing anything.
She didn't expect that her boyfriend would turn against her if she revealed the slightest clue. She felt sorry for herself for having spent a lot of effort learning pure British English in order to disguise herself as a young lady.
She looked angrily at Xu Youyou in the crowd. On impulse, she wanted to rush over, but was quickly stopped by her boyfriend.
"If you leave now, I won't take back the things I gave you. Don't do something thankless." The boyfriend threatened softly.
The girl's expression changed constantly, but she finally endured it. She lifted her skirt and took a deep look at Xu Youyou in the crowd. Seeing that she was still as dazzling as ever, she forced herself to suppress the unhappiness in her heart.
When the banquet was about to end, someone suddenly asked, "Li Laowu, where is your girlfriend? How come she disappeared in the blink of an eye?"
Li Wu chuckled and said, "She had something urgent to do, so she left first."
The man didn't think much about it when he heard this, he just said: "You are so lucky, your girlfriend is not only from a famous family, but also so gentle and considerate. When you get married, if she has any sisters, you can introduce them to my brother."
Li Wu didn't explain when he heard this, but couldn't help thinking that he was really blinded by one leaf. How could a daughter who was richer than his family bow her head to make him and his parents happy? He looked at Xu Youyou in the crowd from a distance. Although he knew that he was not as lucky as Lu Jingyao to find a fiancée with hundreds of billions of assets, at least because of today's incident, he avoided a trap set by a fake socialite.
Xu Youyou didn't know what they were plotting under the table. Now that she was being flattered and coaxed by a group of people, she was clear-headed and knew that there were not many sincere people among these people. Most of them were just doing it for the sake of Lu Jingyao and money.
Sure enough, after the banquet, when they returned to the hotel, a man named Cheng Yu, who was said to be Lu Jingyao's good brother, followed them no matter what, and all he talked about was investment, projects and the like.
Xu Youyou knew that Cheng Yu wanted to take money out of her pocket, so she didn't refuse. She just played dumb and said, "I never care about business matters. If you really think it's feasible, you can send the project plan to my company's email."
"Ms. Xu, in your investment company's mailbox, there are probably hundreds of projects seeking investment every day, if not a thousand. I see that my project was submitted, and the reviewers were overwhelmed by the selection."
Xu Youyou said slowly, "Don't worry, good wine needs no bush. For truly good projects, everyone is scrambling for them. We will never invest in a hidden gem."
Cheng Yu had no choice but to leave a copy of the materials for Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou didn't take it seriously and handed it to Xu Fang.
Xu Fang was serious about his work. He even spent an entire night reading the project plan carefully. The next morning, he said to Xu Youyou, "It's all bullshit. Fortunately, you ignored him, boss."
Xu Youyou looked at Xu Fang's dark eyes and felt a little distressed. She said, "I wanted you to throw it into the trash can, why did you study it all night?"
Xu Fang smiled awkwardly and said, "I thought you were testing me."
Xu Fang has followed Xu Youyou for a long time and has seen her messy investment behavior bring in huge returns. She also thought that she might be able to help. Now she is more and more certain that the boss is the boss, and ordinary people like her cannot learn this.
