Chapter 74 Breakfast
Lu Jingyao took a deep look at Song Zhibai. Seeing his face that was still attractive even after being tanned, he said after a long while, "She doesn't like black guys."
Song Zhibai thought a lot, thinking that the other party would attack his identity and his lack of money, but he didn't expect that he would just do this after holding it in for a long time? Lu Jingyao left in a hurry, and Song Zhibai didn't rush back to the room, but suddenly asked Ouyang Ouyang who was standing beside him.
“Is the top stream really profitable?”
Ouyang Ouyang felt that Song Zhibai had changed, but upon closer inspection, he seemed to be still the same handsome guy, except that his eyes were exceptionally sharp, and the whole person was like a beast ready to pounce, a bit like Lu Jingyao who had just left.
"Of course, haven't you seen the previous news reports? A second-tier male star made two million a day. The money they earn in a day is more than many small bosses make in a year. The income of that small group of top stars is something outsiders can't even imagine." Ouyang Ouyang said.
Song Zhibai nodded and asked, "I want to read more books, preferably ones that can improve my acting skills and cultural background. Do you have any recommendations?"
Because of his mother's illness, Song Zhibai could not afford the tuition, so he dropped out of college and worked. Now he still owes Xu Youyou a huge sum of money. He has no plans to return to college, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to continue studying.
Ouyang Ouyang's eyes lit up. For a director, he is not afraid of actors making progress, but he is afraid that the actors will be immersed in false praise and lose sight of themselves. He feels that as long as Song Zhibai can continue to maintain his performance, he will definitely have a long-term future in the circle.
"Don't worry, Xiao Song. I'll make a list of books for you tomorrow!"
Xu Youyou returned to her hotel room and took a shower before she saw the message from Lu Jingyao.
The other party seemed very anxious to see the flower pots, but he still kept his composure and did not come to the house in the evening. Instead, he made an appointment to meet tomorrow morning.
"I want to sleep a little longer in the morning. We can meet at 10 a.m. to discuss in detail." Xu Youyou replied.
Lu Jingyao replied "OK", and then said: "Assistant Liu knows a lot about local cuisine. He will go buy breakfast tomorrow. Is it okay to have breakfast at 10:15?"
Xu Youyou's eyes lit up. She just didn't want to waste her energy on this, so she replied to Lu Jingyao with a "sure".
Lu Jingyao in the presidential suite directly instructed Assistant Liu: "Go check if there are any local special breakfasts. They must be particularly delicious. Bring them back before 10:15 tomorrow morning."
Assistant Liu's face went blank for a moment. He had followed Lu Jingyao for several years. Lu Jingyao had never been a person who cared little about food and drink. This sudden order could only be because of Xu Youyou.
"OK."
Assistant Liu downloaded XiaoXshu, Dyin, and Kshou overnight, and tried hard to find a real gourmet breakfast restaurant from these social software that he usually thought was a waste of time. Anyway, if the job was done well, his bonus would not be reduced.
Not only do you have to find a breakfast shop, you also have to find a good restaurant for dinner, just in case your boss can arrange to have lunch with you, you have to be prepared in advance.
The next morning, Lu Jingyao got up at seven o'clock. He was about to order a hotel breakfast, but then he thought that if Xu Youyou was the only one eating at ten o'clock, would she feel embarrassed? He forced himself to suppress the hunger in his stomach.
Besides, having breakfast together can also be considered a date.
He started trying on clothes at seven o'clock, wavering for a long time between formal or casual wear. After spending an hour and a half, he finally decided on what to wear today. He felt that facing difficult projects was not so difficult.
At ten o'clock sharp, Assistant Liu bought breakfast and even bought a brand new thermal box.
"Mr. Lu, will breakfast be served directly in the small reception room?" Assistant Liu asked.
Lu Jingyao nodded. He looked around the presidential suite of the hotel for a long time and suddenly frowned.
"Tell the hotel that these flowers are from yesterday and are a little wilted. Ask them to send a new bottle over quickly," said Lu Jingyao.
Assistant Liu took a look at the vase of flowers and stared at it for a long time. Finally, he saw that one of the petals was curled. He secretly blamed Miss Xu for not bringing a magnifying glass. She really couldn't see that the flower was wilted.
After Assistant Liu gave instructions to the hotel manager, he turned around and suddenly realized that the presidential suite was not tidy at all.
"Were the pillows on the sofa placed like this before?" Assistant Liu couldn't help but ask.
The sofa pillows in the hotel are arranged in a fixed pattern. The current arrangement is beautiful, but it is obviously different from yesterday.
Lu Jingyao coughed lightly and said, "I think the layout of the hotel is not good."
Assistant Liu forced himself not to look at his boss with a strange look. This man only thought about making money and didn't care about anything else.
Who would have thought that someone who had never been in love for so many years and had always been pure and abstinent would suddenly catch fire with this sour and smelly smell.
Assistant Liu even noticed that the floor seemed smoother than before he left, but he didn't know whether Lu Jingyao had called the cleaning staff to clean it early in the morning.
Xu Youyou knocked on Lu Jingyao's door a few minutes earlier than scheduled.
Lu Jingyao saw that Xu Youyou was the only one outside the door holding a pot of flowers, and there was a little surprise on his face: "Where is your bodyguard?"
Xu Youyou said: "There is no danger in the hotel. I asked them to go out and buy local specialties."
Lu Jingyao automatically translated it as: She feels safe with me.
"Take a look at it. It's a Jun kiln, but it's the craftsmanship of the Imperial Household Department in the Qing Dynasty." Xu Youyou put the pot of flowers on the table.
Lu Jingyao just took a look and said, "I trust your judgment."
Xu Youyou shook her head: "For something this valuable, you should ask an expert to take a look at it before you feel at ease."
Lu Jingyao said: "When we were abroad, you were the expert I hired."
Xu Youyou really couldn't find any reason to refute for a moment.
Lu Jingyao was worried that she was hungry: "Eat breakfast first, and we'll talk about the deal later."
Assistant Liu deftly placed the various breakfast items on the table.
When Xu Youyou saw the two sets of tableware, she looked at Lu Jingyao in surprise and asked, "Did you oversleep too?"
Lu Jingyao looked like an extremely self-disciplined person, and Xu Youyou found it hard to imagine that he would actually stay in bed.
Lu Jingyao said casually: "I don't have any work to deal with today, so I slept a little longer. After breakfast, do you want to go to the nearby attractions?"
Xu Youyou shook her head: "I've visited all the nearby attractions. My flight is at noon, so I can't accompany you."
Lu Jingyao asked in surprise: "Leaving so soon? I thought you wouldn't be back in Shanghai until next week?"
Xu Youyou said: "I have finished my work here. If there is nothing else, I will go back."
Lu Jingyao felt that this trip was like carrying water with a bamboo basket.
Xu Youyou tasted the breakfast he bought: "Assistant Liu put a lot of effort into it. This breakfast is the best I've had in all the days I've been here."
Assistant Liu smiled shyly, but there was a little person in his heart cheering non-stop.
"Have you not eaten well these days?" Lu Jingyao asked.
Xu Youyou said: "I have been busy with other things and didn't pay much attention to eating and drinking."
Lu Jingyao immediately said, "Eating and drinking are the most important things in life. I know a chef who used to cook state banquets. He is very good at Hunan cuisine. I'm sure you will like it."
Xu Youyou's eyes lit up: "How do you know I like spicy food?"
Lu Jingyao glanced at the small bowl in front of Xu Youyou. She added two more spoonfuls of chili sauce to her spicy soup.
Xu Youyou couldn't help but laugh and said, "I have liked spicy food since I was a child. Although we are not as fond of spicy food as those in Hunan and Jiangxi provinces, our taste is also mainly fresh and spicy."
Lu Jingyao knew where Xu Youyou was from, but he still deliberately asked, "Where are you from?"
"A Huangshan person is one who doesn't want to look at any other mountains after returning from Huangshan." Xu Youyou said.
Lu Jingyao immediately said: "Thirty-six peaks are shrouded in green mist, and thousands of feet of mountains are locked in mist and smoke."
Xu Youyou loves her hometown, and when she heard this, she suddenly felt that Lu Jingyao was not so annoying after all. After all, it is really hard to feel bad about a handsome guy who serves you attentively and says exactly what you want.
The golden sunlight shone on Lu Jingyao through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor. He seemed to be integrated with the light and shadow, so dazzling that people could not take their eyes off him.
Xu Youyou suddenly shuddered and thought to herself that she must not make any mistakes. She still remembered clearly how Lu Jingyao avoided her when they were abroad.
Besides, who wouldn't be eager to make money after being reborn? How could they be busy with love? Xu Youyou changed the subject abruptly: "I've almost finished eating. You can look at the flower pot first. If the price is right, I'll sell it to you."
"Thirty-six peaks are shrouded in green mist, and thousands of feet of mountains are locked in mist and smoke" is from Song Dynasty Lu Zongdao's "Climbing Mount Huangshan"
