Chapter 50
"No, none of you recognized that was Li Xue'er. You all know she's the spokesperson for our company's new products this season," the person said in a low voice. "However, Li Xue'er looks completely different now. I guess... she's had plastic surgery!"
"Li Xueer, you mean the Li Xueer who just passed by? Where did she get plastic surgery? She looks so natural and beautiful!"
"By the way, how did Li Xueer suddenly become the spokesperson for our new product? I remember it was supposed to be someone else, how did it suddenly change to Li Xueer? And who is that young man next to Li Xueer? He made President Lu personally come down to pick him up. Could he be the son of some client?"
"Even if it's the client, there's no need for our CEO Lu to treat them like this. Besides, the two of them seem to know each other very well, not like clients."
"Stop guessing! Have you all forgotten that General Manager Lu is just an employee like us? Who else could it be that General Manager Lu would personally come down to pick us up? If you're really thinking too much, who could it be!"
"No way, you really have wild ideas. You're not saying that young man is the real boss of our company, are you?"
"Hmm, why not? Our boss hasn't shown up lately, maybe he's too young to go out."
"If that's the case, it might be because our boss is too old and it's inconvenient for him to go out."
"Haha, stop guessing. Secretary Liu is out; we'll find out by asking."
"Secretary Liu, the person General Manager Lu just invited in...wasn't that our boss?"
Secretary Liu glanced at the man curiously. Although he hadn't guessed correctly, he was very close. He bent down to get a glass of water, leaned against the side, and slowly asked, "How did you guess that?"
"See, I told you, that young man is too young, how could he possibly be our big boss!"
“I didn’t say it wasn’t!” Secretary Liu suddenly spoke up again.
"Ah!..." Everyone in the break room seemed to be put on pause, falling silent for a moment.
"Wow, what a big...big boss! Our boss is way too young, and he's never shown his face before. Why is he suddenly coming to the company?"
Secretary Liu smiled and said, "I didn't say that!"
"Stop teasing us, tell us!"
Secretary Liu said calmly, "The boss did bring his wife out this time. They're coming to our place and will stop by the company while they're at it."
"The boss already has a wife; they sound like an old married couple. The old man even takes his wife out with him—what a model of affection!"
"Secretary Liu, how old is our boss?"
Upon hearing that Gao Shou had come out, Secretary Liu smiled and said, "Get to work. You'll see when you get here."
Secretary Liu was about to leave when he turned back at the door and said, "Our big boss... is quite old, just turned twenty!"
"What!... Twenty!"
"Ahhh, what CEO has a wife at twenty? Such an early marriage!"
"Why are all the outstanding people married? I came to work dreaming of bumping into the CEO and having a romantic scene where the domineering CEO falls in love with me!"
........
Seeing their reaction, Secretary Liu left with a satisfied smile, leaving the break room in a mess...
After Luo Yi accompanied Li Xueer to sign the contract, Li Xueer still had other activities scheduled for the day, so her assistant came up and led her away first.
Only Luo Yi and Lu Fei remained in the office.
"Please take good care of Li Xueer during this shoot," Luo Yi said.
Lu Fei didn't expect that Luo Yi would give him instructions right after accompanying him to the signing. What's going on?
Lu Fei asked directly, "What, you've really taken a liking to it?"
Just as Lu Fei finished speaking, a possibility suddenly occurred to him: "No, the decision to sign Li Xue'er was made by you. You...you wouldn't have been using your official power to pursue her without the boss's knowledge, would you? Luo Yi, you can't let the boss know about this."
Luo Yi sat down in the CEO's chair and leisurely turned around: "How come I never knew you had such a vivid imagination!"
Lu Fei: "Could it be that I guessed wrong?!"
Luo Yi handed the contract to Lu Fei again: "Doesn't Li Xueer's image fit this new product? Besides, Li Xueer is currently in the prime of her career, and her value will increase many times over in the future. I'm asking you to sign her as soon as possible to save the boss money."
"I don't doubt your decision-making, I just doubt your motives." Lu Fei took the contract, looked at Luo Yi with a malicious smile, and said, "Tell your brother the truth, are you an adult now, feeling the stirrings of spring, and wanting to be in a relationship?"
"Get out of here, Mr. Lu, you're too old to play truth or dare." Luo Yi was disgusted by Lu Fei's smug look, and goosebumps rose on her skin. "Li Xue'er is my sister-in-law, so you should take care of her."
"Sister-in-law?" Lu Fei looked at Li Xue'er's information in his hand, a little confused. "Li Xue'er is a year older than you, right? Why does your brother like relationships with older women? Finding someone older than himself... wait, you're only 19, is your brother even an adult yet!"
“This Li Xue’er is not only my sister-in-law, but also the eldest brother’s nephew’s wife. I’ve warned you, you can decide for yourself!” After Luo Yi finished speaking, he stared at the disheveled Lu Fei with the same look of anticipation.
"The eldest brother's nephew's wife, let me sort this out..." Lu Fei was confused by this inexplicable generational relationship and looked completely bewildered.
Luo Yi laughed: "Of course, eldest nephew's wife!"
Jiang Mo is Luo Hengzhi's junior apprentice, so Li Xue'er is naturally his nephew's wife.
"This family hierarchy is a complete mess, I can't figure it out." Lu Fei, a top student from the best university, couldn't even figure out how the family hierarchy was calculated, and he was going crazy. "The eldest brother's nephew is your younger brother. When did you and the eldest brother have this kind of relationship? I didn't know!"
Luo Yi: "There's a lot you don't know."
"Then I need to ask, how old is your brother, the boss's nephew, exactly this year? Does the boss know that his nephew is dating, or is he dating a female celebrity?" Lu Fei didn't believe that someone as smart as him couldn't figure out the family hierarchy.
“22.” After Luo Yi finished speaking, he looked at Lu Fei’s even more confused eyes and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Luo Yi comforted him, "Alright, once the boss arrives, he'll definitely go check on Li Xue'er's filming, so just keep an eye on things."
"Fine!" Lu Fei gave up, pretending he hadn't heard anything about seniority; his ears had automatically shut down.
Lu Fei rubbed his face and changed the subject: "Can I ask, Li Xueer's condition has suddenly improved a lot. There are all sorts of rumors circulating in the industry. Some say she had minor cosmetic surgery, while others go so far as to spread rumors that she had a new skin. So what's really going on with Li Xueer? I don't want any news to come out later and affect the product."
“If you’ve had work done, then it’s fine.” Lu Fei asked one question after another, “Which hospital did you go to? Could you share the details? I’d like to take my wife there for some skincare or something sometime.”
Luo Yi: "What nonsense are you spouting? Li Xue'er just ate a beauty and skin-nourishing pill."
"Essence? What kind of essence can transform a person? Is it some kind of elixir of immortality?" Lu Fei thought Luo Yi was just fooling him.
Luo Yi: "It really is a magic pill. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. Ten or twenty years from now, Li Xue'er's face will still look the same as it does today."
"Really?!" Lu Fei quickly believed it and asked, "Could you get one for my wife too? Our wedding anniversary is coming up soon, and I'm having a headache trying to figure out what gift to give her this year."
“Sure, you can buy it online or go to the store... The store seems to be under renovation, but it will open soon.” Luo Yi remembered that she hadn’t told Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi about the store opening yet. Luo Yi and Huo Qinglei had been handling the store arrangements.
"Buy it online? I knew you were trying to fool me. You made it sound so real that I almost believed you had such a miracle cure!" Lu Fei thought he was clever. Luo Yi's story sounded so convincing, but then he said to buy it online. It was obviously fake. How could there be such a miracle cure online? Luckily, he reacted quickly and wasn't completely fooled by Luo Yi.
"It seems we don't need to buy it online. When the boss arrives, you can ask him directly." Luo Yi thought of his master coming with his boss, so his master must still have some Youth Preservation Pills on him.
"The pill that Li Xue'er had was given to me by my master. I guess my master still has some left over."
"Your master? When did you get another master? And you even came with the boss. Didn't the boss bring his wife along? Won't your master look like a third wheel?" Lu Fei asked.
"Luo Yi, you're still young. I'm reminding you not to blindly follow any master. Is that person reliable? If it's just about pills, it doesn't seem very trustworthy. You have to be careful about what you put in your mouth. I'm only reminding you not to be fooled by those selling health supplements because of our friendship. And don't even think about trying to trick me into buying health supplements."
"Oh, haven't I told you yet?" Luo Yi didn't expect that he had forgotten to mention it, "My master is the eldest brother's wife."
Lu Fei's eyes widened in shock. Could it be that even the boss had been fooled?!
No, no, that's the boss, he's the one who lies to others!
Lu Fei: "You should have said so earlier. So your master is the boss's wife."
"I never knew the boss's wife was in the health supplement business. I wonder which family she belongs to? I haven't heard of any big companies releasing this mysterious 'elixir' product lately?"
Luo Yi looked at Lu Fei as if he were an idiot. How come she never knew this guy had such a peculiar way of thinking? Is he really the number one student from the top university? Should she check his academic background?
"I can't explain it to you, but I've already told you the purchasing channels. Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on your fate." After cultivating, Luo Yi became more and more convinced of "chance." Even after being told about good things, he still didn't believe it. Helplessly, Luo Yi patted Lu Fei on the shoulder.
Brother, times have changed, and your way of thinking might not be keeping up. You'd better watch yourself!
"There's one more thing, you should know about He Shishen. Don't cause any trouble, or we'll both get more than just a scolding."
Just then, Luo Yi's phone rang, and a message came in.
When Luo Yi opened the message, he saw that it was from his junior uncles. They said that the store was about to open and they needed to focus on supplying goods to the store. They wanted to close the online store and asked Luo Yi to help them with the process.
Luo didn't waste any time after reading the message and immediately logged in to cancel the online store.
"What? Has the boss arrived?" Lu Fei leaned over to look at Luo Yi's phone and saw that Luo Yi was cleaning up his online store.
"When did you open your online store, kid? Does the boss even know you're doing this side hustle?!" Lu Fei said, then saw Luo Yi clicking on the pills section, about to delete it.
So he grabbed the phone and clicked on it.
"There really are pills online? Why don't you say you sell pills too?" Lu Fei continued scrolling down, "Beauty and skincare... pills... five... tens, hundreds, thousands... 50,000!"
Upon seeing the price, Lu Fei's voice involuntarily rose: "Who taught you to sell health products at such high prices? Don't you have a conscience? Why don't you just rob us? No wonder you haven't sold a single one. It seems the masses have discerning eyes!"
Not only did Luo Yi feel no remorse, but she also looked up at Lu Fei and smiled. Then, right in front of Lu Fei, she ordered the clearance sale to be taken off the shelves!
Luo Yi snatched the phone and waved it in front of Lu Fei: "Lu Fei, you have no idea what you've missed!"
