Chapter 30 Continue the investigation
"Is there something wrong with the wine at the banquet? But so many people drank it, and no one had any trouble." Xu Youyou said.
"You know that the organizers are malicious towards you, but you can still trust the food they prepare. I can only say that you are really simple."
Xu Youyou saw Lu Jingyao regaining his yin and yang look. Although she was angry, she didn't want to make fun of her own life.
"There are so many delicious foods in the banquet hall, how can you resist not eating a bite?" Xu Youyou asked.
Lu Jingyao looked at her with strange eyes, as if to say, "Is self-restraint a difficult thing?"
Obviously Lu Jingyao didn't say anything, but Xu Youyou read it from his eyes and said: "If you don't want to eat, don't eat. At worst, you will starve."
The reason why Lu Jingyao was so vigilant was that he had been tricked a lot at banquets in the past two years, and he had even been drugged. If he hadn't been sent to the hospital in time, he would have lost both his son and his daughter.
Xi Ruer, who was hiding in the dark at this time, saw Xu Youyou picking up the champagne on the tray but not putting it into her mouth for a long time. She felt extremely anxious.
While Lu Jingyao was talking to Xu Youyou, he calmly tilted the red wine glass towards the potted plant next to him, and just poured some red wine out. His movements were as smooth as eating and drinking.
Seeing him like this, Xu Youyou couldn't help but sigh in her heart that she had a lot of experience, but when it was her turn, her movements were much more clumsy.
Lu Jingyao raised his eyebrows and moved his body, barely covering Xu Youyou's big move.
"Don't be too obvious." Lu Jingyao reminded.
Xu Youyou smiled awkwardly.
But something even more unexpected happened to her. Hillel's father, Frank, suddenly came over and raised his glass to them.
"For your love." Frank said with a smile, and then he drank the wine in one gulp.
Xu Youyou was in a dilemma at this time. She obviously didn't know how to deal with this situation.
But Lu Jingyao remained calm and said with a smile: "Frank, I really like your works of art. I know so many foreign friends, and your taste is first-class."
Frank smiled and agreed, but he was not easily fooled. Instead, he said: "Don't you like the wine I prepared for today's banquet?"
Lu Jingyao still did not raise his glass to drink, but said: "How could it be? It's just that my lover is too drunk and can't drink anymore."
Xu Youyou immediately looked weak at the side.
Frank smiled and said: "According to you Chinese, this is called pity the fragrance and cherish the jade."
Just when Xu Youyou thought this mess could be over.
Frank spoke again: "I heard that there is a saying in China that if you want to help others stop drinking, you have to drink other people's drinks as well. Is this true?"
Xu Youyou could sense the tense atmosphere at the scene, but she and Lu Jingyao had the same idea. The more the other party urged them to drink, the less they could drink it.
Before Lu Jingyao could speak, Xu Youyou said directly: "There is no such statement, Mr. Frank. There are too many rumors related to China. You may have heard wrong."
"Really? But the person who told me this is a professor from a famous university in China. I thought he represented authority." Frank still did not give up.
Xu Youyou cursed the old fox in her heart, but she really didn't know how to answer this.
Lu Jingyao said with a smile: "There is a saying in China: If you live in fear of hen, you will be rich and noble. If you don't listen to the lady, your feng shui will be ruined, and you may lose your money and life."
"I can't help it, I'm just a coward, so of course I will do whatever she says." Xu Youyou was shocked, how could Lu Jingyao say such disgusting words without changing his expression!
Frank was obviously stunned. After all, which powerful man would admit so openly that he was afraid of his wife in front of another man.
He did not continue to persuade you to drink, but sneered and said, "If you obey women so much, then I hope you can continue to be rich and powerful."
After Frank left, Xu Youyou immediately asked: "Has your business deal been concluded? If you offend him so much, aren't you afraid that he will break the contract?"
Lu Jingyao shook his head and said: "Tolerance is useless against these foreigners. The more you give in, the more they push forward. The stronger you act, the more reluctant they are to let go."
Xu Youyou felt as if she had learned another lesson, but after a moment, she realized something was wrong: "If that's the case, then why do you have to have a female companion?"
Hearing this, Lu Jingyao's eyes flashed with helplessness: "I overestimated Ms. Xi Ruier's face."
It was rare for Xu Youyou to see Lu Jingyao not miscalculating.
The banquet seemed extremely long in the eyes of both of them. Ms. Xi Ruier also came over to toast several times, but Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao cooperated tacitly and blocked them all.
After finally making it to the end of the banquet, the two of them got into the car on the way back, their eyes filled with joy.
"I've been hungry all night. I want to have a big meal when I get back to the hotel." Xu Youyou said casually.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Lu Jingyao looked at her cute expression of holding her stomach and complaining, and couldn't help but have a smile flash in his eyes, but when Xu Youyou took a closer look, it disappeared without a trace.
Xu Youyou dragged her tired body back to her room. Before she could call room service, there was a knock on the room door.
"Ms. Xu, this is the meal Mr. Lu ordered for you."
Xu Youyou opened her eyes wide when she looked at the food cart full of food. When the food was brought to her mouth, enjoying the taste of the food melting in her mouth, she briefly put aside her dislike for Lu Jingyao.
"That's all, this poisonous tongue man has some merits." Xu Youyou sighed with emotion.
Her cell phone suddenly dinged.
It was Lu Jingyao who sent a message: "Don't eat too much before going to bed, as it may harm your health."
Xu Youyou's mouth was still full of food. When she saw this message, her eyes widened with anger. What did Lu Jingyao mean? Did he think she was greedy?
After Lu Jingyao, who lived in the presidential suite, sent the message, he waited for a while but did not see Xu Youyou's reply. His lips pursed into a straight line.
"Mr. Lu, I have to ask for a leave from you. My father has a sudden illness and is hospitalized. I want to go back to China immediately to accompany him." Assistant Liu was too eager. After he finished speaking, he noticed that Lu Jingyao's face was very ugly.
Assistant Liu was worried that he would not be able to take leave.
But Lu Jingyao waved his hand with a dark face: "You go back first. Are there any flights? If there are no flights, I will have someone call a private jet for you."
Assistant Liu was moved. The CEO was obviously in a bad mood, but he was still so considerate to him.
"The nearest flight is in two hours. I will leave for the airport now." Assistant Liu said.
Lu Jingyao nodded. The flight in two hours will be faster than arranging a private jet: "Remember to book yourself a first-class cabin. Don't save money on long trips. The company will reimburse you."
Assistant Liu was moved to tears. It was common sense not to reimburse him for air tickets when he took a temporary leave like this. Unexpectedly, Lu Jingyao was offered first class as soon as he took action.
After Lu Jingyao finished giving the sweet dates, he said, "After you return to China, you will send people to continue investigating Xu Youyou. I always feel that she is unusual."
