Chapter 58 Exchange Conference
Lu Jingyao’s ears turned red. He obviously liked the term “fate”.
But Xu Youyou only felt it was troublesome. Her mind was full of how she should explain to her acquaintances why she chose to stay in a hotel instead of living in a house in Shanghai, and why they had just parted unhappily yesterday, and she had accepted expensive jewelry from the other party. Now she was so embarrassed that she wished she could cut off the three-bedroom apartment with her toes.
As an all-around assistant, Assistant Liu would neither embarrass his boss nor Xu Youyou, and took the initiative to ask, "Ms. Xu, are you also here to attend the International Semiconductor Exchange Conference?"
Xu Youyou nodded immediately.
Lu Jingyao asked, "Why didn't you bring your conference pass?"
Xu Youyou then noticed that Assistant Liu had a pass hanging around his neck, but she didn't have a pass at all. She didn't want to lose face, so she looked at Lu Jingyao's empty neck and said, "You don't have one either."
"I'll use my face." Lu Jingyao said.
Xu Youyou remembered that the Lu family seemed to be in the semiconductor business as well. She guessed that this meeting might be closely related to the Lu family, and cursed the privileged class in her heart.
Before she could speak, Assistant Liu took the initiative to suggest: "It doesn't matter if Miss Xu forgets to bring it. You can enter with us. With President Lu here, no one will check your pass."
Assistant Liu didn't care at all whether Xu Youyou had sneaked in. Compared with the safety of this meeting, it was obviously more cost-effective to be a love security guard for his own president.
Xu Youyou looked at Lu Jingyao with a questioning look.
Lu Jingyao swallowed what he was about to say after Assistant Liu's warning, and said, "If you want, you can come in with me."
Xu Youyou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Lu."
Assistant Liu reminded at the right time: "Ms. Xu, the meeting is about to start. Would you like to ask the room steward to put your luggage away?"
Xu Youyou didn't even have time to take a look at what the presidential suite she booked looked like before she was urged to get back into the elevator with Lu Jingyao and his group.
Lu Jingyao's five entourages and Xu Youyou's four bodyguards all entered one elevator, instantly making the spacious elevator seem very crowded.
The others kept their duty and said nothing.
Xu Youyou didn't know what to say to Lu Jingyao. After all, she couldn't ask, "Do you remember how I scolded you yesterday?"
Lu Jingyao did not hold a grudge. At this moment, he was racking his brains to think of words to strike up a conversation.
"You are also interested in semiconductors?" Lu Jingyao said.
Assistant Liu behind him couldn't help but raise his right hand and cover his forehead in pain.
Xu Youyou turned around. She felt that Lu Jingyao was speaking in a sarcastic tone: "Why can't I be interested in semiconductors? Just because I'm a girl?"
When Lu Jingyao heard this offensive answer, he immediately realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, but he still tried to explain: "I thought you were only interested in porcelain, and I didn't mean to attack your gender."
Seeing his sincere tone, Xu Youyou relaxed a little and said casually, "It's cutting-edge technology. I also want to study it."
Lu Jingyao frowned slightly and said seriously: "Many people think that semiconductors are one of the cutting-edge technologies, but I don't think this is accurate..."
“Ahem!”
Assistant Liu's sudden cough interrupted Lu Jingyao's long speech.
Lu Jingyao's eyes moved slightly, and he changed his words abruptly, saying, "In layman's terms, semiconductors are indeed one of the cutting-edge technologies."
When the other entourage behind Lu Jingyao heard this, they all couldn't help but widen their eyes and secretly looked at their own president with strange eyes. They almost suspected that Lu Jingyao had been replaced. Their own president always kept his word, but he would actually change his words? Isn't this hitting himself in the face? The elevator stopped at the floor where the exchange conference was held.
Lu Jingyao slightly turned sideways, motioning Xu Youyou to go first.
At the entrance of the meeting, Assistant Liu and others entered with their passes. Lu Jingyao walked in with Xu Youyou in a swagger, and no one stopped them at all.
Even the four bodyguards behind Xu Youyou passed the security check and entered the main venue at Lu Jingyao's signal.
"Ms. Xu, the Lu family is the sponsor and organizer of this exchange conference." Assistant Liu explained in a low voice where Lu Jingyao's privileges came from.
Xu Youyou thought about such a large conference venue and the food and lodging for so many participants. It might seem insignificant, but when added up it would form a sky-high bill. She whispered that the Lu family was rich.
"Mr. Lu, you are finally here!"
"Mr. Lu, do you still remember me? Our company has cooperated with Lu's..."
As soon as Lu Jingyao showed up, many people surrounded him.
The experienced assistant Liu skillfully blocked these people and said, "Sorry, let's talk after the meeting. President Lu still has things to do."
Lu Jingyao took Xu Youyou to the front row of the meeting, but when he turned around, he saw that Xu Youyou did not follow.
"What's wrong?" Lu Jingyao asked.
Xu Youyou had already successfully sneaked in, and felt that she didn't need Lu Jingyao anymore, so she said, "I'll just find a place to sit, you don't have to worry about me."
Lu Jingyao frowned slightly and said, "The front row gives you a closer look and is more convenient for you to communicate with several industry seniors. There is also an academician from the National Academy of Engineering coming this time. I can arrange for you to sit closer to him."
Xu Youyou had no intention of discussing semiconductors with anyone. After all, she was here to find a buyer for the files on the memory card.
"I'm just a dabbler, so I'd better not waste the time of the academician." Xu Youyou declined.
Lu Jingyao, however, acted as if he was doing it for her own good: "It's okay, Academician Chen is approachable and won't care about these little things."
Xu Youyou couldn't find a reason to refuse, so Lu Jingyao took her to a seat on the side of the front row.
"Mr. Lu!"
The name with a strong colonel accent rang in Xu Youyou's ears.
Xu Youyou turned her head and saw two men in neat suits. They stood up not far from Xu Youyou and greeted Lu Jingyao.
Lu Jingyao nodded at them.
Of the two men, the older one seemed to want to say something, but he glanced at the younger man behind him with disappointment, and ultimately did not speak much to Lu Jingyao.
Lu Jingyao has a lot of things to deal with, and some staff have already asked him to handle something.
Xu Youyou waved her hand and let him leave, then turned around and looked around. Many foreigners came to this International Semiconductor Exchange Conference, and Xu Youyou saw many people with obviously foreign faces.
Suddenly, she heard a burst of hurried bird calls. She turned around and saw that the person speaking was the old man who had just greeted Lu Jingyao.
The old man spoke in a low voice but very quickly, and anger was visibly visible on his face.
The young man who was scolded by him was wearing a suit and tie, but his tie was extremely fancy. At this time, he bowed 90 degrees towards the elderly man, and the apology on his face was almost overflowing.
Unfortunately, Xu Youyou couldn’t understand the bird language. She vaguely felt that they seemed to be speaking Japanese, but she didn’t know what they were saying.
Yasuda Kagesa, who was surrounded by Xu Youyou, was extremely angry at this time. He scolded his grandson Yasuda Jiro: "Why did you put such an important thing in a lady's bag? And you lost it? You really should commit seppuku to apologize!"
