Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 34 Goal Change

Chapter 34 Goal Change
The designated driver was dropped off at the residential complex by his companion. After parking the car, he politely said thank you and watched the other party leave.

It's already 10 o'clock now.

He walked into the house with a slightly tipsy step.

Chen Aihua hadn't rested yet. Instead, she was sitting on the sofa, watching TV and talking on the phone.

Seeing her son coming in, she smiled and said:

"Lu Yao is back... Come on, Yao Yao, your aunt."

When Lu Yao approached to pick up the phone, the mother noticed at a glance that something was wrong with her son.

Have you been drinking?
Looking at Lu Yao's slightly red face and the smell of alcohol in the wind, she was a little surprised.

But his brows immediately frowned.

Is it...

"Hello, Auntie, how are you..."

Lu Yao began to greet his elders.

There were five children in my father's generation, and he was the third oldest.

There are two older sisters above and two younger brothers below.

And my mother obviously reported to all the relatives that she had done very well in the exam.

Three parts joy, seven parts showing off.

After Lu Yao politely hung up the phone, Chen Aihua's first words were:

"Who did you drink with? Did they take you out to play?"

"No."

Lu Yao sat down on the sofa and let out a long sigh.

His drinking capacity was actually acquired through practice.

From one cup in college, it gradually became half a catty, seven ounces, and sometimes even a catty if I perform well.

And now…his memory of the alcohol is still there, but his body won’t accept it.

This is just two taels of foreign liquor, but it has led to this state of affairs.

"My boss's friend asked me to help pick up some luggage in the evening... She must have lost one of her parents, and seeing her things reminded her of her. She was very sad. So I had a drink with her at the hotel where she was staying, and then I came back after the drink."

After hearing her son's words, Chen Aihua became more and more wary of Lu Yao's boss leading his good son astray, but after hearing such a thing, the kind mother still nodded:

"Did you comfort him?"

"No, she didn't mention it at all. I noticed it."

"Then remember to be careful with your words next time, and don't expose other people's scars."

"Well...I'm going to take a shower."

"it is good."

Silent all night.

……

Sixth day of temporary work.

Lu Yao got up on time at 7: in the morning. After having breakfast, he went directly to the underground parking lot of Fortune Garden and sent a message to Xu Ruochu.

And this wait lasted more than an hour.

At 9:10 or o'clock, Xu Ruochu called:

"you arrived?"

There was a hint of surprise in her tone.

"Yes, Mr. Xu. I'm already downstairs."

"...Okay, wait for me, I'll be down soon."

"Ok."

This wait lasted nearly half an hour.

Lu Yao finally saw Xu Ruochu.

She was wearing a very decent dress today and had put on makeup.

The makeup is not heavy, showing elegance.

With a neat hairstyle of tying her hair together, she instantly exudes the aura of a strong female CEO.

Lu Yao got out of the car and was about to open the door for her, but she waved her hand:
"Drive that one."

A Mercedes with an M logo in the corner of the parking lot flashed its lights twice.

Seeing this, Lu Yao thought to himself that it was a good thing that he was still wearing a shirt today.

Otherwise, I'd really regret this car.

After helping the female president open the car door, he sat in the driver's seat of the Maybach.

Mercedes-Benz's hand-shift gearshift is actually more comfortable to drive than any other car.

His previous life's car was a Mercedes-Benz C, so he was very familiar with the car. He just needed to get used to the length of the car.

"Mr. Xu, where are we going?"

"There are a lot of places we need to go today. I'll send you a few addresses. Go to Suhewan first."

"Ok."

Lu Yao nodded and drove, while glancing at the back seat through the rearview mirror.

Today's female president is no longer as fragile as she was when the two first met.

The pain of losing a loved one will eventually be healed by time.

This is the inevitable result.

So he retracted his gaze and drove calmly until:

"How did you do on the test? What's your estimated score?"

"The estimated score is around 707."

"……How many!?"

The same reaction as Hu Li appeared on her face.

Unfortunately, Lu Yao didn’t see it.

After Lu Yao repeated it again, the back seat was silent for a while and asked:
"With this score, Qinghua is set in stone, right?"

"If nothing else, yes."

"Then why did you apply to TVU?"

"Well……"

Unlike before, Lu Yao wasn't so harsh this time.

"Qinghua should be considered."

Xu Ruochu was not that surprised.

People tend to move towards higher places; this is the law of nature.

But she noticed the three words "will consider".

He seemed to understand something and asked:

"You want to go abroad?"

As she asked, she heard the boy in front of her's firm words, "My country needs me."

Laughing dumbly.

Still immature...

Unexpectedly, Lu Yao's answer was:
"Of course not, right here in the country."

Xu Ruochu was stunned:
"Then you still need to consider? ...Will you consider Qinghua? In the electronic semiconductor industry, Qinghua is the best choice, right?"

"It depends on what you think, Mr. Xu."

"How do you say this?"

"If we talk about influence, Qinghua is undoubtedly the best choice. But... in the electronic semiconductor engineering industry, undergraduate education is just a stepping stone. If we don't consider school rankings and influence, then, at least I think that TVU, Fuhua, Qinghua and the seven national defense universities are at the same level. The real watershed is at the graduate level. Undergraduate studies are just the beginning for the electronics industry. As long as you learn it, at least in terms of academic education, there is actually no difference."

Xu Ruochu did not refute this.

Because the other party is telling the truth.

Some majors in prestigious universities are strong, while others are weak. Undergraduate studies are actually like the "preschool" for your chosen major, and the principle is similar.

"Then why don't you go to TVU?"

"Because...it is Qinghua after all."

"If I go to Qinghua, my parents will be proud of me, is that what you mean?"

"Yes. So, if the score is really high, I will consider it... But it's not certain. We'll see when the time comes. To be honest, I haven't thought it through very clearly."

"you……"

Jingle Bell.

Suddenly, Xu Ruochu called.

The conversation between the two was stopped.

"Hey……"

Seeing this, Lu Yao began to drive calmly.

After the call was hung up, Xu Ruochu had already changed the subject:
"Did you go to the gym with Hu Li yesterday?"

"No, Sister Li finished her meal yesterday and asked me to help her move to the next house."

"move place?"

Xu Ruochu was stunned.

Subconsciously asked:

"She went back to her family compound?"

Lu Yao thought that the family compound should be the old house from last night, so he responded:
"Yes, Sister Li... I packed a few sets of clothes and shoes from previous dances, and brought my trophies and other things to the hotel. After sending her to the hotel, I went back."

This time, Xu Ruochu stopped talking.

Instead, he lowered his head and began typing quickly.

Lu Yao didn't ask any more questions.

In this way, we arrived at the address she mentioned, which was an office building that looked like it had just been built.

"Just park your car right at the door."

Lu Yao followed the instructions, and at the entrance of the office building, there were already several men in suits waiting there.

The car stopped steadily, and the other party opened the door naturally without Lu Yao even having to move. After seeing Xu Ruochu get out of the car, he said respectfully:
"Mr. Xu, welcome..."

The car door closed, and Lu Yao parked the car outside the main entrance of the office building. He glanced at Xu Ruochu who was chatting with someone and walked in, thought for a moment, took a bottle of mineral water that was already on the center console, got out of the car and followed him in.

The people traveling with him saw that he was the driver and did not try to stop him.

But a few people kept looking at him.

I think his face is too tender.

Xu Ruochu seemed to be here for an "inspection" today. In the lobby, someone was talking to her incessantly about the design concepts of the various decorations in the office building, as well as its future uses and so on.

Lu Yao was also listening nearby and discovered that the investment attraction strategy for this office building was to hope that more young and vibrant companies would move in in the future.

The main focus is on youth.

As for Xu Ruochu, he nodded as he listened.

Then, a group of people entered the elevator.

The supervisor accompanied her into an elevator. Lu Yao thought about it and followed her in.

Others waited for the elevator nearby.

"Mr. Xu, the elevator in the office building is a Swiss brand..."

"Lu Yao."

Suddenly, Xu Ruochu called him.

Then she handed over the handbag she was carrying.

Lu Yao took it, unscrewed the cap of the mineral water, handed it to her, and took it back after she took a sip.

When the elevator reached the highest floor, several supervisors began to introduce the scenery, the area and space of the office building, etc., while two others handed Lu Yao a business card:

"Hello, I am the director of the investment promotion department of Hon Hai Real Estate..."

"Hello, I'm Mr. Xu's driver Lu Yao, just call me Xiao Lu."

"Hello Hello……"

Xu Ruochu has his own social circles, and he also has other circles that want to get to know him.

After Xu Ruochu went around in circles, this first trip ended.

Everyone revolves around her.

And Lu Yao discovered from the side...she was unusually familiar with this kind of occasion.

His speech and behavior were unusually appropriate.

Sometimes he even felt that the woman who was drunk in the passenger seat of a Mercedes-Benz, crying and having an emotional breakdown, never existed in this world.

Even her disguise.

The image in front of us, holding the power of life and death and being received with great ceremony wherever she goes, is her true appearance.

For a moment, it felt like a world away.

……

"Goodbye, President Xu..."

Lu Yao drove away amid the greetings of a group of people.

At this time, Xu Ruochu in the back seat asked:
"what do you think?"

"Great."

"To be honest, I saw you shaking your head."

"..."

Lu Yao was stunned and glanced at the rearview mirror in surprise.

It met a pair of dignified and beautiful eyes.

"I noticed you curled your lips when they said the company was targeting young people... What? Do you think there's something wrong with their business strategy?"

"..."

Lu Yao thought to himself, why are you just busy with your work, why are you staring at me all the time?
But he still said:
"Mr. Xu, are you here today to... find the headquarters of the investment company you and Sister Li talked about in the car last time?"

"Ah."

"Then this place is definitely not suitable."

"What's the reason?"

"First of all, investment companies are different from other companies that make a living. Money, fame, appearance, and status are actually important factors for some high-quality investors to evaluate. Here, the main focus is on youth. Although we support more young people to start businesses, the capital of young companies is destined to be not too strong. At that time, it is easy to have several or even dozens of companies clustered on one floor of an office building. And the people who come to work in such companies are just ordinary white-collar workers. The turnover of personnel and the quality of employees..."

"Is this why you feel you don't agree?"

"Yes."

"I understand what you mean."

Although Lu Yao didn't know whether she had thought of these things.

But after hearing her words, he stopped talking and said no more.

Until...Xu Ruochu took the initiative to ask:

"Are you hungry?"

"I didn't eat breakfast."

"..."

Lu Yao was speechless.

The female president was silently labeled as a useless person in life, and the strong and powerful filter just now was shattered.

After thinking about it, he advised:

"Then I think... what you should find most now is someone who can take care of you in life."

"… Let's talk about it later. Let's find a place to eat first."

"Ok."

Keeping in mind what Hu Li said, "I have to accommodate her every time we eat hotpot", he found a very light Cantonese tea restaurant.

Although Xu Ruochu has many shortcomings, she has one advantage, which is that she doesn't seem to care about things like dining standards.

After paying for dinner, she took out a credit card from her bag:

"Password 870625. From now on, you can use this card to pay for things like that."

"Okay... Mr. Xu, is this your birthday?"

Hearing Lu Yao's words, Xu Ruochu subconsciously glanced at him and responded:

"Ah."

Lu Yao remained silent.

……

There was no lunch break at noon, so when she arrived at another office building, there were also people waiting there.

When we met, he still addressed me as "Mr. Xu".

On this day, Lu Yao took her around the office building all day long.

I was busy until around 5 o'clock in the evening, and finally finished reading the addresses in Lu Yao's text message.

Xu Ruochu would ask for his opinion on every building.

Lu Yao will also give it to you.

No matter how much.

Then, just when Xu Ruochu was considering whether to contact Hu Li in the evening, a phone call came.

"Hey, Ruochen."

"……okay, I get it."

"Who is at home?"

"...Okay. I'll be back right away."

After hanging up the phone, she said:

"Let's go back to Tan Palace."

"SANDALWOOD?"

"Correct."

"Ok."

The Maybach drove towards the direction called "Tan Gong" with a calm temperament.

We arrived at almost 7 o'clock. After driving in, Lu Yao looked at the buildings on the main road twice... and had only one reaction in his mind.

It's so big.

In the Magic City where every inch of land is valuable, it is possible to have a manor of this level!
How much does this house cost?
Unfortunately, Lu Yao couldn’t see the whole picture inside.

After parking the car at the gate of a manor, Xu Ruochu said:
"You can also find a place to eat. I'll call you later and you can pick me up."

"Ok."

Lu Yao nodded, watched her leave, and walked out following the signs.

When the door of Tan Palace closed, he subconsciously turned his head to take a look.

For a moment I didn't know what to say.

Especially looking at its imposing yet low-key front door, compared with the people riding electric bikes passing by from time to time...

Then he found a noodle shop and had a bite.

While eating, I searched for this place on my phone.

What catches your eye are words like "Top Ten Luxury Houses in China", "No. 1 Luxury House in Puxi", etc.

And the price of so many "0"...

Fine.

After the meal, we rested in the car until a little after 9 o'clock.
