Chapter 114 In This Room
Xu Youyou watched him raise the price more and more outrageously, and said helplessly: "It's only 16 million, no more. If you raise the price any more, I will sell it to someone else."
Seeing that Lu Jingyao had no way to argue, he could only reluctantly agree. However, he turned around and instructed Assistant Liu: "I bought a birdcage from Miss Xu. Transfer 16 million to her. Remember, this is 16 million after tax. By the way, pay her taxes for her."
Assistant Liu quickly smiled and said, "Don't worry, every time you buy antiques from Miss Xu, we help her pay the taxes. We won't forget this."
Lu Jingyao nodded.
Assistant Liu quietly calculated in his mind how much this transaction would actually cost, wondering what kind of birdcage could be so expensive.
In a trance, he remembered a saying: Where a man's money is, there is his love. Lu Jingyao had not even seen the real thing, but had already spent so much money out of trust. Assistant Liu could only hope that Xu Youyou had her own career and was not a fraudster, otherwise Lu Jingyao would be cheated into a pauper by her sooner or later.
"Boss, was it Miss Xu who proposed this price?" Assistant Liu asked.
Unexpectedly, his question actually made Lu Jingyao happy: "I think this bird cage is worth 100 million, but she refused to pay it and only accepted 16 million. She is too honest and would never let me suffer any loss."
Assistant Liu opened his eyes slightly. He looked at Lu Jingyao's face which was full of "she has me in her heart", and thought of the outrageous offer from his love-brained boss. He really wanted to shake his boss hard to make him sober up: You have money to spend so recklessly, why don't you just let it go?
But he couldn't. He was just an ordinary worker who wanted a raise. Instead of trying to persuade her, he said, against his conscience, "She doesn't want you to spend more money. This means she's starting to care about you."
Although Lu Jingyao's eyes were fixed on the PPT on the stage, he couldn't suppress the upward curve of his lips.
The young man who was presenting the PPT on the stage was originally nervous because he suddenly had to present the PPT to the richest man, but he suddenly saw Lu Jingyao smile today.
Previously, Lu Jingyao had been frowning, which put a lot of pressure on the young man. Now, seeing Lu Jingyao's relaxed expression and a smile in his eyes, the young man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help thinking, maybe his performance was not that bad?
With this in mind, the young man's voice became louder and louder, his back became straighter and straighter, and he became more confident when presenting PPT.
Lu Jingyao had originally been somewhat disdainful of the young man, but now, seeing that he was getting better and better, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at him. He whispered to Assistant Liu beside him, "This young man is not bad. He's the kind of person who becomes more courageous with every setback."
Assistant Liu asked quietly, "So, do you want to acquire this company?"
Lu Jingyao shook his head. "The company is not doing well. The management is chaotic. It's in a mess before it even takes off. It won't last long."
Assistant Liu chuckled. He accidentally turned around and saw the vice president touching the hand of the young female assistant. Even in an occasion like today, he couldn't help but touch her. It can be seen how chaotic the company is normally.
"Let's recruit this young man later. Only with a good attitude can he go a long way in the future." Lu Jingyao said.
Assistant Liu agreed immediately. In fact, before coming to this company, they had already conducted a detailed investigation on this company. The technology that this company is currently researching is what Lu Jingyao is interested in, but they are not the only one doing research in this area.
The most important technical staff in the company is the young man who is currently presenting the PPT. When Lu Jingyao looks at people, he always values their spiritual core. People with unstable cores may suddenly explode at any time, no matter how talented they are. In other words, if this young man still stutters like before, Lu Jingyao will definitely not want to poach him.
Xu Youyou didn't know that she had changed someone else's life without realizing it. She looked at the now cleaned cloisonné birdcage twice more.
Although she admired the beauty of the birdcage, there was no point in keeping it, so she would feel more at ease if she exchanged it for money.
Xu Youyou had been busy for so long that she had already missed lunchtime. Xu Fang had been preparing all the time. Seeing Xu Youyou finally leave the room, she immediately asked, "Boss, do you want to have lunch now?"
Xu Youyou nodded slightly.
Three minutes later, the hotel housekeeping department delivered a table of food.
Xu Youyou almost never mentioned her dietary restrictions, but there was no dish on the table that she didn't like. Xu Fang probably remembered her preferences better than she did.
She doesn't eat ginger, but almost every dish on the Gu family's table is mixed with finely chopped ginger.
But at this moment, there was no trace of ginger on the dining table in front of her.
Xu Fang also said on the side: "Boss, I told you in advance that if you want to remove the fishy smell, use something else, not ginger, and I also use your favorite peony oil for cooking."
Xu Youyou nodded and gave an approving look, thinking to herself, although you don’t have the love of your parents and relatives, your subordinates can care about you more than they care about their parents and children.
After finishing her late lunch, before the dishes on the table were cleared, she heard the cheerful barking of a puppy outside.
"Woof woof! Is this really for me to eat? Is it a gift specially for me?" The obedient boy barked.
Aunt Liu didn't understand what Guaiguai said, so she smiled and asked, "Guaiguai, you're so happy to see me back? I missed you so much when I was away! Did you have fun out with Miss Xu today?"
"Woof woof! Happy! The owner is very obedient. Grandma Liu, you are a good person! So are grandma's friends!" The puppy spoke incoherently.
Aunt Liu touched its head and said, "Don't worry, dear. I'll give it to you to eat right away. It's all yours. Don't worry, I won't run away with it."
Xu Youyou guessed that Aunt Liu must have brought back dog food for Guaiguai when she went out to visit friends, so Guaiguai was so excited. When she thought of Guaiguai getting so eager to eat, Xu Youyou couldn't help laughing.
[Ding! The "loot hunting" mission has been launched. Please arrive at the target location as soon as possible.]
Xu Youyou didn't expect that this system task would come so quickly. The reward for the previous task had not been settled yet, and the new task came so quickly.
She ordered Xu Fang, "Prepare the car."
Xu Fang immediately took action.
But before Xu Youyou got up and left the presidential suite, she froze as soon as she reached the living room. She stopped Xu Fang and said, "Forget it, you don't have to go out... No, I don't want to go out anymore."
Xu Fang was particularly tolerant of Xu Youyou's capriciousness and said with a smile, "Boss, you take a rest first. If you want to go out, just tell me at any time. I'm always on standby."
Xu Youyou nodded, and at this moment she looked straight at Aunt Liu and Guaiguai.
It’s not that she is not in a hurry to find a bargain, but the final destination of this bargain is in this room.
