Chapter 289 Hilltop Villa
The agent shook his head and said, "This matter was personally ordered by Miss Xu. She is the boss. Since she has said so, we subordinates can only obey."
The assistant frowned and said, "Although she is the boss, she is just a young girl in her twenties. Does she understand the entertainment industry? What if she changes her mind at the last minute and offends those self-media studios? This will affect our teacher Song's media resources..."
The suggestion of buying the press release in advance was originally proposed by the assistant. The agent was not surprised by his strong opposition at this time. After all, if this matter was done well, it could be counted as the assistant's achievement.
"Don't think about it. In our company, no one is more important than the boss. You have to keep an eye on this matter personally. There can be no mistakes, otherwise both of us may lose our jobs." The agent warned.
The young assistant nodded reluctantly, and after returning to his hotel room, he immediately took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
"Things have changed. They haven't been fooled. Should this matter continue?" the young assistant asked the person on the other end of the phone.
"How did they notice?"
The assistant felt aggrieved when she heard this question. She felt as if the other party was questioning her. She could only say helplessly, "I don't know who told Xu Youyou about this. She, who never interferes with the work of her agent, suddenly stopped this matter. If you want me to continue, then I will be exposed in advance."
"Forget it, you are working normally now. This incident won't have much impact on Song Zhibai. It's really not worth exposing yourself for this."
The assistant was relieved when he heard what the other party said, and then asked, "It's not me who messed up this matter. The money you promised to give me..."
The person on the other end of the phone was a little impatient: "Don't worry, I won't give you a penny less."
Xu Youyou didn't know that her team had been infiltrated by a spy. She was now staying in Lu Jingyao's mountaintop villa in Gangcheng, and happened to see an acquaintance.
"grandfather."
Old Master Lu was still farming like the last time we met. He put down the hoe with a smile and said, "Youyou, little girl, you said last time we met that you would come to visit me often. I waited for you at home, but you never came. Fortunately, I am smart. If you don't come to me, I will come to you."
Xu Youyou felt a little guilty when she heard this. Last time, she owed a favor to Mr. Lu, which enabled her to find Gu Xueying's half-brother in Jinling.
Later, she thought about visiting Mr. Lu again, but was stopped by Lu Jingyao. In Lu Jingyao's words, his elders were urging her to get married to the point of obsession. He was afraid that they would urge Xu Youyou in front of her, and he didn't want to embarrass her, so he consciously avoided meeting them.
Just like what Lu Jingyao said, Mr. Lu said next: "Youyou, do you think this house is good? If you and Jingyao are engaged, grandpa will give you this villa as a wedding gift."
"Grandpa!" Lu Jingyao had no choice but to stop him.
Mr. Lu glared at his grandson and said, "I don't know how long it will take for me to have a great-grandson even if I rely on you, a fool. If you are not anxious, then I am!"
Lu Jingyao stood in front of Xu Youyou and said, "If you continue like this, we won't live here anymore."
Mr. Lu stamped his feet in anger.
Xu Youyou was protected by Lu Jingyao, and she lowered her head to think for a moment. Because she had been traveling around the world, pretending to be focused on her career, Lu Jingyao tried to talk about marriage and other things several times, but she rejected him every time.
Xu Youyou also learned from Assistant Liu's slip of the tongue that Lu Jingyao had planned to propose to her and had even arranged an extremely romantic proposal ceremony, but he quietly canceled it because of Xu Youyou's statement.
After dating for nearly two years, Xu Youyou already knew in her heart that it would be difficult for her to find a marriage partner more suitable than Lu Jingyao.
Lu Jingyao was handsome, rich and respectful to her. Apart from some unpleasantness in the beginning when they were in the United States, she couldn't find much fault with him.
It's not that she has no feelings for Lu Jingyao at all.
Although she liked the children in the orphanage very much, she knew very well that they had no blood relationship with her. She secretly hoped to have a biological child and watch him grow up.
She was not treated well by her biological parents, but she hopes to compensate for her childhood by raising children.
While the grandfather and grandson were still arguing, Xu Youyou suddenly poked her head out and said to Grandpa Lu, "Grandpa, I don't want a villa as a gift. I don't need a house. I just want to eat the organic vegetables grown by grandpa every day."
The grandfather and grandson were both stunned when they heard this.
Lu Jingyao's eyes instantly burst into infinite joy: "You...you are willing to marry me?"
As soon as he said this, Lu Jingyao immediately changed his tone and said, "Don't promise me now. I know you girls all want a romantic proposal ceremony. I hope you can have what others have."
Xu Youyou felt warm in her heart.
Mr. Lu said, "No wonder I heard the magpie calling when I woke up this morning. It turns out that good things are coming!"
Xu Youyou's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She glanced at Lu Jingyao but said nothing.
When it was time for dinner that night, Mr. Lu insisted that the villa's housekeeper take out his collection of wine.
"I'm happy today and I must have a drink. My money-losing goods are finally sold!" Grandpa Lu said loudly.
Lu Jingyao was so upset that he stopped the housekeeper and said, "Grandpa has high blood pressure, so you can't give him alcohol."
The butler smiled and nodded.
Mr. Lu was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "You stinky boy, you dare to control me! I don't care, I will drink this wine today!"
Lu Jingyao said casually: "I'll tell my aunt now."
Mr. Lu was fearless. He was afraid of Mrs. Lu when she was alive. After she passed away, he became terrified of his daughter who looked almost exactly like his wife. He was afraid that his daughter would pester him with nagging like Tang Monk chanting sutras.
"Forget it, forget it. I'll give you that this time. Butler, pour me a glass of grape juice." Mr. Lu said with a pouty face.
Shortly after dinner, the villa's housekeeper led the way, and the grandfather and grandson of the Lu family accompanied Xu Youyou to the guest room arranged for her.
Although it is a guest room, this villa is very large, and even the guest rooms are suites with all kinds of facilities.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can have a panoramic view of the entire port city.
“Youyou, do you want to go to Jingyao’s study? There, all the trophies he has won since he was a child are kept.” Old Master Lu was like a salesman trying his best to promote his own products.
Xu Youyou looked at Lu Jingyao's blushing face. She wasn't very interested at first, but suddenly she wanted to tease him: "Okay."
Walking into Lu Jingyao's study, Xu Youyou couldn't help but be shocked. There were so many trophies and award certificates.
She hadn't even seen awards like "Three Good Students". The most common ones she saw were Mathematical Olympiad award certificates.
She was about to praise Lu Jingyao, but suddenly her eyes fixed on a large stone placed nearby. She said in disbelief: "This stone seems..."
