Chapter 287 Hilltop Villa
Chapter 287 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's the boss, she's only a young woman in her twenties. Does she understand the entertainment industry? What if she suddenly changes her mind about something she agreed on and offends those self-media studios? This will affect Teacher Song's media resources..."
The suggestion to buy 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 even think about it. In our company, no one is more important than the boss. You have to personally monitor this matter and there must 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, 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're working normally now. This incident won't have much impact on Song Zhibai anyway, so it's really not worth exposing yourself to it."
The assistant heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what the other party said. He then asked, "It wasn't 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 had no idea that a spy had been infiltrated into her team. She was currently staying at Lu Jingyao's mountaintop villa in Gangcheng, and happened to see an acquaintance.
"grandfather."
Old Master Lu was still farming, just like the last time we met. He put down his hoe with a smile and said, "Youyou, little girl, last time we met you said you would come visit me often. I waited and waited at home, but you never showed up. Fortunately, I'm smart. If you don't come to me, I'll come to you."
Xu Youyou felt a little guilty when she heard this. She had owed a favor to Mr. Lu last time, and was able 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 like crazy. He was afraid that they would urge her in front of Xu Youyou, and he didn't want to embarrass her, so he consciously avoided meeting them.
Just as 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.
Old Master Lu glared at his grandson and said, "I don't know how long it will take for me to have a great-grandson. If you're not anxious, then I am!"
Lu Jingyao stood in front of Xu Youyou and said, "If you continue like this, we won't stay 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 actually knew very well 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 respected 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 the child 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 Mr. Lu, "Grandpa, I don't want a villa as a gift. I don't need a house either. I just want to eat the organic vegetables you grow 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 the words came out of his mouth, 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's call as soon as I woke up this morning. It turns out that good news is coming!"
Xu Youyou's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She glanced at Lu Jingyao but said nothing.
When it was time for dinner in the evening, Mr. Lu insisted that the villa's housekeeper take out his collection of wine.
"I'm so happy today that I have to have a drink. My money-losing goods are finally sold!" Grandpa Lu said loudly.
Lu Jingyao was furious and stopped the housekeeper: "Grandpa has high blood pressure, you can't give him alcohol."
The butler smiled and nodded.
Mr. Lu slammed his fist on the table in anger. "You bastard, you dare to control me! I don't care. I'm going to drink this wine today!"
Lu Jingyao said casually: "I will tell my aunt now."
Old Mr. Lu was fearless. He was afraid of Mrs. Lu when she was alive. After she passed away, he became frightened of his daughter who looked almost exactly like his wife, fearing that his daughter would pester him with nagging like Tang Monk chanting scriptures.
"Forget it, forget it. I'll give you a break 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 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 take in the entire harbor city.
“Youyou, do you want to go and take a look at Jingyao’s study? There he keeps all the trophies he has won since he was a child.” Old Master Lu was like a salesman trying hard 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 when her eyes suddenly fixed on a large rock beside her. She spoke in disbelief:
"This stone seems..."
