Chapter 724 I Want~
Lu Miao had just finished taking a shower, his legs and elbows were sore and tired, and the bath water in the room had not been poured yet.
Fu Jingyou came in and poured her some water first.
Then he walked into the room, patted her shoulder, and asked her to turn around and sit down.
He sat down behind her and wiped her hair carefully with a towel:
"How was your day? Did everything go well? You've been gone for a long time, huh?"
"Um……"
Lu Miao responded, and leaned back limply, as if he had no bones.
Fu Jingyou supported her and emphasized slowly:
"Wait, let your hair dry a little more."
"Oh, I'm really tired~!"
Her voice was full of complaints and grumbling.
Fu Jingyou had no choice but to put a towel under her hair and use the simple hair dryer he had made earlier to blow dry her hair.
During this time, Lu Miao told him about what happened during the day:
"It went pretty smoothly. They weren't any tricky people... The only tricky one was our team leader, Chen."
"He's still targeting you?"
"Isn't it? Guess what?"
"Um?"
"He asked me to take the outsider to the 13th floor!"
Afraid that Fu Jingyou didn't understand the twists and turns, Lu Miao explained emphatically:
"Many people in Europe and America have religious beliefs. In Northern Europe, many myths and legends are related to events related to the number 13, and are all linked to things like death and immortality. People there are very sensitive about this!"
Lu Miao frowned and grumbled, sounding quite unhappy:
"Luckily I understand this. If someone didn't, they would have fallen for his tricks."
Fu Jingyou asked: "How was this matter finally handled? Did you tell your superiors?"
"No."
"Um?"
Fu Jingyou shook her hair that was draped over her shoulders and blew it carefully:
"Why not?"
"The director heard it himself!"
She babbled on and on:
"If you're not convinced about something at work, you can just show off your skills and compete with me. It's really annoying to have to resort to such tricks..."
Talking about this, Lu Miao felt angry and emotional.
"He thought he was clever enough to get rid of me by coming up with some wicked scheme, but he probably didn't expect that his cleverness would backfire, and now he's gone."
Fu Jingyou got the information from her words and asked:
"Then what will happen to the work of the British Society if he leaves? Who will be in charge?"
Lu Miao turned around, and a hint of ridicule flashed across his bright black and white eyes.
She jumped into his arms like a lynx cub just learning the art of hunting.
Hooking her arm around his neck, she didn't mind the sweaty smell on his body because he hadn't showered, and boasted proudly:
"Of course there are heroes who can remedy the situation!"
"What a great hero."
Fu Jingyou naturally heard her hidden meaning, and with a smile he put his arm around her slender waist and pecked her on the lips:
"Is that why you came so late?"
"Not entirely... I have to eat with the outsiders, go out with the seniors in the morning, and of course come back together."
Lu Miao kept on talking, and then twisted around and acted coquettishly:
"Brother You~"
"Um?"
She kissed his chin. She was acting out of character today, hanging on him in a way that was almost annoying.
"I want to drink red wine. Can I buy it in Jingbei? There must be some in the Friendship Store, right? You buy it for me! If you can't get in, ask Dad to buy it for me, okay? Okay? Brother You, I want it~"
After having two Western meals during the day, there was no red wine on the table, which Lu Miao felt was a bit lacking.
On the way back, she kept thinking about this.
It wasn't something that people would particularly like, but perhaps it was that imperfection that made her feel itchy and inexplicably greedy.
"Buy it for me, tomorrow, okay?"
She gave orders in a spoiled manner, without any intention of negotiating.
Fu Jingyou was so tempted by her that his lips almost curled up. He restrained himself and pecked her lips and nodded:
"I'll go check it out tomorrow. Don't go to bed so early... Wait for me. I'm going to take a shower and will be back soon."
Lu Miao suddenly refused to cooperate again.
He pinched her lips with two fingers and moved closer to kiss her, then leaned back to distance himself and said:
"Not today! We have to gather at four in the morning tomorrow. I need to go to bed early today. Once this is over, I'll make it up to you, okay? I'll definitely keep my word!"
Fu Jingyou started to break free from her hand and nudged her neck in dissatisfaction:
“So early…”
"There's nothing I can do. I have to go to the flag-raising ceremony. If I'm late, the flag will be raised."
Fu Jingyou was a little unhappy, but he couldn't bear to bother her.
She had to get up earlier the next day, and was afraid that the child would disturb her, so she sent the child to her aunt and father-in-law's room tonight.
Afraid that the child would disturb his father-in-law, Fu Jingyou let her sleep first and took the bottles, milk powder, diapers and other things to the other room.
Then he went into the main room and held little Baichuan in his arms to coax him to sleep, and never came back.
They have always been working together.
In the past, when his career was on the rise or he was busy, she was the main person responsible for taking care of the family.
Now that her work is getting on track, Fu Jingyou doesn't want her to worry about everything.
I suggest that when you are not busy, you can help take care of things at home and outside.
In the early morning of the next day, Fu Jingyou sent Lu Miao to the Guoying Society for a gathering.
During the early morning hours, there were few vehicles on the road, and the two cars of the British Society arrived at the Foreign Affairs Office unimpeded.
After picking up the foreign employee, we changed cars and continued on our way.
They arrived at the front gate just in time for the flag-raising ceremony to begin. Lu Miao and the others weren't the only ones watching.
Beyond the railings, there are many faces, young and old, dressed simply.
Lu Miao and his group were arranged to watch the flag-raising ceremony nearby.
In the brief moment she glanced at them, 36 flag bearers of the national flag guard came marching towards them, marching in step.
In the first row, the comrade in green military uniform in the middle carries the national flag on his shoulders, his figure as straight as a pine tree.
There were a total of one hundred and thirty-eight steps, and every step the group took exuded a momentum that shook the mountains and rivers.
Stand at attention, at ease. As the national anthem sounded, the red flag was unfurled and then slowly rose...
The scene was shocking and inspiring, and some people outside the venue sang the national anthem intermittently.
Perhaps it was the unique romantic sentiment engraved in the genes of the Chinese people, or perhaps it was just the first time he watched the flag-raising ceremony from such a close distance.
Lu Miao's heart suddenly surged, and he was overwhelmed by an inexplicable feeling of being moved.
It was not until the flag-raising ceremony ended and Deputy Director Zhao arranged for the external staff to go to Quanjude, a well-known restaurant in Dongsi, to taste authentic Beijing roast duck that she slowly came out of her emotions.
In the morning, we ate roast duck and tasted Chinese cuisine, and in the afternoon, we went to Chongwen Flower Market Hutong to visit "Huaerzu".
Climb the Great Wall the next weekend, and so on.
After running for several days, Lu Miao lost several pounds.
The original plan was that the last stop would be the Beijing Grand Theater.
The leader arranged a highly entertaining and inspiring "military dance" program by the art troupe as the closing ceremony of the trip.
Lu Miao had been looking forward to going over to take a look and join in the fun since early morning.
Unfortunately, when I was about to leave the Foreign Affairs Office at noon that day, I suddenly received a call from the British News Agency.
It was said that the Lu family called the Guoying Society and asked the Guoying Society to help convey that there was an emergency at home and asked Lu Miao to receive the message and return quickly.
