Chapter 320 The So-called Investment
Cao Qianli, however, acted as if he had expected this, and explained to Xu Youyou, "Don't be fooled by his delicate tone. In fact, his family is very arrogant. There is nothing they can't handle in Hualien."
Liu Yishou said casually, "Miss Xu looks like a well-educated and well-mannered person. Don't make it seem like she's going to Hualien to fight."
Xu Youyou shook her head slightly and said, "I just went over to take a look. It's not as exaggerated as you say."
The others laughed when they heard this.
There weren't actually many people attending the welcoming banquet today, but those present were all Lu Jingyao's friends or their relatives.
Among them was a young girl, wearing a custom-made dress and a diamond necklace around her neck, her eyes fixed on the scene where the moon was surrounded by stars.
She tried to hold it back, but couldn't hold it back any longer. She reached out and tugged at her boyfriend's sleeve, whispering, "You're all trying to make her happy, but Lu Jingyao can't see it. And even if he did, what would happen? We're just running our own business, why should we try to please them?"
Her boyfriend gave her a strange look and said, "You talk weird."
The young girl became even more unhappy. She had been trying to cheer her boyfriend up, but she had never seen him smile at her like that. Naturally, she felt that the people present were being too exaggerated.
"You're the one who's surprised. Xu Youyou is only Lu Jingyao's fiancée, not Madam Lu. Besides, even if she became Madam Lu, she might not be able to make the final decision."
Her boyfriend managed to sort out some of his thoughts and turned to ask her, "You told me earlier that your father is in the real estate business in Europe, and you often help him?"
Hearing this, the young woman raised her chin slightly and said, "Why do you ask this suddenly? Indeed, I am not a woman who relies on her boyfriend. My father's business still relies on me for help."
When her boyfriend heard this, he quietly pulled his arm back and said, "Even if your father were at an event like today, he would probably join us in trying to cheer Miss Xu up. You're so arrogant! I really doubt you've ever done business before."
His words were so intense that he even began to doubt his girlfriend's personality.
His girlfriend had finally managed to coax a rich man into her life thanks to her supposedly beautiful, wealthy, and beautiful identity. Upon hearing this, she was horrified and demanded, "What nonsense are you talking about? I've also studied in Europe. Do I need to coax you?"
Her boyfriend, who had been convinced of her identity, shook his head and said, "You do have a degree, but I always felt something was wrong. Now I finally understand."
"What do you mean?"
"You don't look like the daughter of a businessman at all, let alone someone who has ever run a business yourself."
The pretty girl's eyes widened. She was about to get married with her boyfriend and had already met his parents. His parents were so satisfied with her that they even gave her a luxury car. She never expected that things would suddenly fall apart.
Why did her boyfriend only focus on Xu Youyou? He said, "Miss Xu may not be as wealthy as Brother Lu, but even though my parents didn't attend the banquet in person today, they privately told me to please Miss Xu and not let her get upset in the slightest."
"You must be uncomfortable with a group of grown men trying to make a little girl happy, or you've never experienced this before, so you're stopping me."
The young girl's face turned pale and red when her boyfriend said that. She came from a socialite training class where she learned how to win over men. She had never experienced such a situation. She didn't know how much effort she had put into winning over the man in front of her. Naturally, she was not used to other young girls becoming the center of attention without doing anything.
She didn't expect that her boyfriend would turn against her as soon as she revealed the slightest clue. She felt a little sorry for herself because she had spent a lot of effort to learn pure British English in order to disguise herself as a young lady.
She looked at Xu Youyou in the crowd with resentment. Impulsive, she wanted to rush over, but was quickly stopped by her boyfriend.
"If you leave now, I won't take back the things I gave you. Don't do something thankless." The boyfriend threatened softly.
The girl's expression changed constantly, but she finally endured it. She lifted her skirt and looked deeply at Xu Youyou in the crowd. Seeing that she was still so dazzling, she forced herself to suppress the unhappiness in her heart.
When the banquet was about to end, someone suddenly asked, "Li Laowu, where's your girlfriend? How come she disappeared in the blink of an eye?"
Li Wu chuckled and said, "She had something urgent to do, so she left first."
The man didn't think much of it when he heard this, and just said, "You are so lucky. Not only does your girlfriend come from a prominent family, but she is also so gentle and considerate. When you get married, if she has any sisters, you can introduce them to my brother."
Li Wu did not explain when he heard this, but he couldn't help thinking in his heart that he was really short-sighted. How could a rich girl who was actually richer than his own family bow her head to please him and his parents?
He looked at Xu Youyou in the crowd from afar. Although he knew that he was not as lucky as Lu Jingyao to find a fiancée with assets worth hundreds of billions, at least because of what happened today, he avoided a trap set by a fake socialite.
Xu Youyou didn't know what they were plotting under the table. Now that she was being flattered and coaxed by a group of people, she was clear-headed and knew that there were not many sincere people in this group, and most of them were just doing it for the sake of Lu Jingyao and money.
Sure enough, after the banquet, when they returned to the hotel, a man named Cheng Yu, who was said to be Lu Jingyao's good brother, followed them no matter what, and all he talked about was investment, projects and the like.
Xu Youyou knew that Cheng Yu wanted to take money out of her pocket, so she didn't refuse. She just played dumb and said, "I never care about business matters. If you really think it's feasible, you can send the project plan to my company's email address."
"Ms. Xu, your investment company's email address probably has hundreds, if not thousands, of projects seeking investment every day. I've seen my project get submitted, and the reviewers are overwhelmed by the choices."
Xu Youyou said slowly, "Don't worry, good wine needs no bush. A truly good project will be sought after by everyone, and no one will invest in it."
Cheng Yu had no choice but to leave a copy of the materials for Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou didn't take it seriously and handed it to Xu Fang.
Xu Fang was so serious about her work that she even spent an entire night reading over the project plan carefully. The next morning, she said to Xu Youyou, "It's all bullshit. Thank goodness you ignored it, boss."
Xu Youyou looked at Xu Fang's dark eyes and felt a little distressed. She said, "I wanted you to throw it in the trash can, why did you study it all night?"
Xu Fang smiled awkwardly and said, "I thought you were testing me."
Xu Fang has followed Xu Youyou for a long time and has seen her messy investment behavior bring in huge returns. She also thought that she might be able to help. Now she is more and more certain that the boss is the boss, and ordinary people like her cannot learn this.
