Chapter 31 Internal Appraisal Meeting
Xu Youyou had no idea that someone was thinking about her again.
She was awakened by a knock on the door and woke up on the big bed in the hotel. A trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. She just grabbed a piece of clothes and put it on over her pajamas, then ran to open the door.
When she saw the familiar face outside the door, she was stunned for a moment before she remembered the purpose of Lu Jingyao's visit.
"I'll brush my teeth and wash my face right away. Wait for me for fifteen minutes." Xu Youyou said.
Lu Jingyao frowned slightly: "You opened the door too quickly."
Xu Youyou:?
Lu Jingyao continued, "You are a young girl in a foreign country, so you should be cautious. You can't just open the door to everyone who comes. You should at least ask."
Xu Youyou: "This is the Aman Hotel."
"This is not China. Guns are freely available here. Even high-end hotels are not safer than China." Lu Jingyao said with a frown.
Xu Youyou just thought his cold and nagging look was very noisy, so she closed the door directly: "I have to get ready to go out!"
Lu Jingyao almost got rejected.
When Xu Youyou changed into a casual dress and went out again with a light handbag, Lu Jingyao outside the door still had a gloomy face.
Xu Youyou secretly looked at his expression and felt relieved when she saw that his nose didn't seem to be hit by the door.
"Mr. Lu, can you ask your driver to buy me some food on the way?" Xu Youyou asked.
Lu Jingyao glanced at her and said nothing.
Xu Youyou touched his nose: "Mr. Lu, are you angry?"
Lu Jingyao looked down at the shoes Xu Youyou was wearing. They were a pair of sneakers. He strode out of the hotel as if he had no more worries.
Xu Youyou hurried to follow.
It was just very awkward. When the two of them arrived outside Lu Jingyao's car, the driver hadn't gotten in yet.
After waiting for about two minutes, the driver came hurriedly with the packed food: "Mr. Lu, Ms. Xu, I'm sorry, I'm late."
Lu Jingyao nodded casually and got in the car.
Xu Youyou was a step late, and the driver stopped her and handed her the packaged food.
"Ms. Xu, my husband asked me to prepare breakfast for you. If you don't like it, I'll see if I can buy you something else on the way." The driver said respectfully.
Xu Youyou took it, and her dissatisfaction with Lu Jingyao for disturbing her sweet dreams disappeared for a moment.
But after she got in the car, Lu Jingyao was still eight feet away from her. He frowned and looked out the window the whole way, and it was obvious that he was ignoring her.
The breakfast at Aman Hotel is very famous. The driver prepared the hotel’s signature dish for Xu Youyou. Lu Jingyao didn’t even look at her until Xu Youyou finished the whole breakfast.
Xu Youyou was full and had enough energy to play with the cat. She asked, "Are you angry?"
When Lu Jingyao heard the voice, he turned around and looked at her. Although Xu Youyou could still see that he seemed a little angry, at least there was no emotion on his face.
"I'm not angry. This is not worth getting angry about." Lu Jingyao said.
Xu Youyou immediately hit the snake stick: "It's good that you are not angry. I knew that Mr. Lu has always been magnanimous and would not care about the fact that I almost got late because of staying in bed."
The corners of Lu Jingyao's mouth twitched, but his upbringing prevented him from saying anything blaming him.
Xu Youyou looked around the car again, and suddenly she realized something was wrong: "Where's Assistant Liu? Isn't he with you today?"
Lu Jingyao said: "He had an emergency at home and returned home last night."
Xu Youyou nodded. No wonder she felt that the atmosphere in the car was depressing and uncomfortable. It was because of the lack of Assistant Liu, the reliever.
"Where are Mr. Lu's bodyguards? Are they in another car?" Xu Youyou asked again.
Xu Youyou also brought a few bodyguards with her when she went abroad, but because she was leaving with Lu Jingyao today, she trusted the other party's security team, so she didn't do anything unnecessary.
"In the car behind." Lu Jingyao said.
Xu Youyou was relieved: "Then Mr. Lu, what are the collections in this internal appraisal meeting? Which one do you want the most?"
Lu Jingyao just felt that she was like a sparrow, chattering non-stop in his ears.
"You'll know when you get there." After Lu Jingyao said this, he closed his eyes and pretended to rest.
Seeing that he was unwilling to chat more, Xu Youyou felt it was boring, so she took out her cell phone and sent a message to Song Zhibai.
After Song's mother's operation was successful, she was out of the postoperative critical period and is now recuperating in the Presbyterian Hospital. Song Zhibai has been asking when Xu Youyou will return to China. They mother and son owe Xu Youyou a favor, so Song Zhibai is anxious to return to China to work for Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou hasn't resolved Peter's issue yet, so it's impossible for her to return home so soon. She can only tell Song Zhibai that she will stay in the United States for a while and ask him not to worry too much and wait until his mother recovers.
At this time in the hospital, Song's mother propped herself up and sat up from the bed and asked her son: "What did Miss Xu say?"
"Mom, she wants you to stay in the hospital for a while longer, saying that she hasn't finished her business abroad yet." Song Zhibai said.
Song's mother asked, "Did she say what she was busy with abroad?"
Song Zhibai shook his head. He had asked this question before, but Xu Youyou didn't say anything.
When Song's mother heard this, she said with emotion: "Miss Xu is really the kindest young girl I have ever met."
A look of doubt appeared on Song Zhibai's face.
Song's mother explained: "The reason why she didn't return home was probably not because she hadn't finished her work, but because I held her back."
Xu Youyou occasionally went to the hospital for medical treatment these days, but every time she looked like she was strolling leisurely, without any sign of fatigue or busyness on her face, so Song's mother made such a guess.
Song's mother patted her son's hand and said, "Miss Xu has been very kind to us. We must repay her in the future."
Song Zhibai nodded vigorously. Over such a long time, Xu Youyou had proved that she had no bad intentions at all. When Song Zhibai thought about how he had viewed her in the past, he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Xu Youyou didn't know that the Song mother and son were so grateful to her. After nearly an hour's drive, the car stopped and in front of her was a scene similar to a museum.
"Museums sell collections?" Xu Youyou asked curiously.
Lu Jingyao explained: "This is a private museum. The owner's own business went bankrupt and he couldn't keep the collections inside."
Xu Youyou soon saw several familiar faces in the crowd, all of whom were the wealthy and famous people who had appeared at the party last night.
Obviously, even if the owner of the museum went bankrupt, his collection would still be valuable and not something that ordinary people could afford.
Xu Youyou followed Lu Jingyao's gaze and saw that there were quite a few people gathered around the item he wanted.
She glanced over and her eyes fixed: "Mr. Lu, are you attracted by the treasure of the museum?"
