Chapter 116 In This Room
Xu Youyou watched him raise the price more and more outrageously, and said helplessly: "It's only 16 million, no more. If you raise the price any more, I will sell it to someone else."
Seeing that there was no way to quibble, Lu Jingyao could only agree reluctantly, but he turned around and instructed Assistant Liu: "I bought a bird cage from Miss Xu. You transfer 16 million to her. Remember, it is 16 million after tax. By the way, help her pay the tax."
Assistant Liu smiled and said, "Don't worry, every time you buy antiques from Miss Xu, we help her pay the taxes. We won't forget this."
Lu Jingyao nodded.
Assistant Liu quietly calculated in his mind how much money he would actually have to pay for this transaction, wondering what kind of bird cage could be so expensive.
In a trance, he remembered a saying, where a man's money is, there is his love. Lu Jingyao had not even seen the real thing, but he had already spent so much money out of trust. Assistant Liu could only hope that Xu Youyou had her own career and was not a scammer, otherwise Lu Jingyao would be cheated into a pauper by her sooner or later.
"Boss, was it Miss Xu who proposed this price?" Assistant Liu asked.
But unexpectedly, his question actually made Lu Jingyao happy: "I think this bird cage is worth 100 million, but she refused to pay and only accepted 16 million. She is too honest and would never let me suffer a loss."
Assistant Liu opened his eyes slightly. He looked at Lu Jingyao's face which was full of "she has me in her heart", and thought of the outrageous offer from his love-brained boss. He really wanted to shake his boss hard to make him sober up: You have money to spend so recklessly, but you don't want to spend it?
But he couldn't. He was just an ordinary worker who wanted a pay raise. Not only did he not persuade her, but he also said against his conscience: "She doesn't want you to spend more money. This shows that she is beginning to care about you."
Although Lu Jingyao's eyes were fixed on the PPT on the stage, he couldn't suppress the upward curve of his lips.
The young man who was presenting PPT on the stage was originally nervous because he had to present PPT to the richest man, but he suddenly saw Lu Jingyao smile today.
Previously, Lu Jingyao had been frowning, which put great pressure on the young man. Now, seeing Lu Jingyao's relaxed expression and smiling eyes, the young man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help thinking, maybe my performance wasn't that bad? With this in mind, the young man's voice became louder and louder, his back became straighter, and he became more confident when presenting the PPT.
Lu Jingyao had originally disliked this young man, but now that he saw that his condition was getting better and better, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at him, and whispered to Assistant Liu beside him: "This young man is not bad, he is a man who becomes more courageous with more setbacks."
Assistant Liu asked quietly, "So, do you want to acquire this company?"
Lu Jingyao shook his head: "The company is not doing well. The management is chaotic. It's in a mess before it even takes off. It won't last long."
Assistant Liu chuckled. He accidentally turned around just now and saw the vice president touching the hand of the young female assistant. He couldn't help but touch her in such an occasion, which showed how chaotic he was normally.
"Pop this young man over later. Only if he has a good attitude can he go a long way in the future." Lu Jingyao said.
Assistant Liu agreed immediately. In fact, before coming to this company, they had already conducted a detailed investigation on this company. The technology that this company is currently researching is what Lu Jingyao is interested in, but they are not the only one doing research in this area.
The most important technical staff in the company is the young man who is currently demonstrating the PPT. When Lu Jingyao looks at people, he always values their spiritual core. People with unstable cores may suddenly explode at any time, no matter how talented they are. In other words, if this young man still stutters like before, Lu Jingyao will definitely not want to poach him.
Xu Youyou didn't know that she had changed someone else's life unknowingly. She looked at the now cleaned cloisonné birdcage twice more.
Although she admired the beauty of the bird cage, there was no point in keeping it, so she would feel more at ease if she exchanged it for money.
Xu Youyou had been busy for so long that she had already missed the lunch hour. Xu Fang had been preparing for the meal. Seeing Xu Youyou finally leave the room, she immediately asked, "Boss, do you want to have lunch now?"
Xu Youyou nodded slightly.
Three minutes later, the hotel housekeeping department delivered a table of food.
Xu Youyou almost never mentioned her dietary restrictions, but there was no dish on the table that she didn't like. Xu Fang probably remembered her preferences better than she did.
She doesn't eat ginger, but almost every dish on the Gu family's table is mixed with finely chopped ginger.
But at this moment, there was no trace of ginger on the dining table in front of her.
Xu Fang also said, "Boss, I told you in advance that if you want to remove the fishy smell, use something else, not ginger, and I also use your favorite peony oil for cooking."
Xu Youyou nodded and gave an approving look, thinking in her heart, although you may not have the love of your parents and relatives, your subordinates can treat you more attentively than they treat their parents and children.
After finishing her late lunch, before she had time to clear the dishes from the table, she heard the cheerful barking of a puppy outside.
"Woof woof! Is this really for me to eat? Is it a gift specially for me?" The obedient boy barked.
Aunt Liu didn't understand what Guaiguai said, so she asked with a smile, "Guaiguai, you are so happy to see me back? I missed you so much when I was away from home! Did you have fun playing outside with Miss Xu today?"
"Woof woof! Happy! The owner is very obedient. Grandma Liu, you are a good person! So are grandma's friends!" The puppy's words were incoherent.
Aunt Liu touched its head and said, "Don't worry, dear. I'll give it to you to eat. It's all yours. Don't worry, I won't run away with it."
Xu Youyou guessed that Aunt Liu must have brought back dog food for Guaiguai from visiting friends, which was why Guaiguai was so excited. When she thought about Guaiguai getting so eager to see the food, Xu Youyou couldn't help laughing.
[Ding! The task of picking up leaks has been started. Please arrive at the target location as soon as possible. ]
Xu Youyou didn't expect that this time the system task would come so quickly. The reward for the previous task had not been settled yet, and the new task came so quickly.
She told Xu Fang, "Prepare the car."
Xu Fang moved immediately.
But Xu Youyou got up and hadn't left the presidential suite yet. As soon as she reached the living room, she was stunned and stopped Xu Fang: "Forget it, you don't have to go out... No, I don't want to go out again."
Xu Fang was particularly tolerant of Xu Youyou's capriciousness and said with a smile: "Boss, you take a rest first. If you want to go out, tell me at any time. I'm always on standby."
Xu Youyou nodded, and at this moment she stared at Aunt Liu and Guaiguai.
It’s not that she was not in a hurry to pick up a bargain, but the final destination of this bargain was in this room.
