Chapter 41: Underwear Flying
Early in the morning on the 16th, Lu Yao continued to walk out of the house carrying his breakfast box.

Before leaving home, my mother told me:
"Your dad will be home today, so try to get off work early."

Lu Yao responded, went downstairs, drove to Fortune Garden, and swiped the door card to enter.

Looking at the clothes discarded on the sofa, he picked them up directly, intending to check the labels and see if they could not be machine washed. If so, he would help sort them and send them to the dry cleaners.

In addition to the clothes Xu Ruochu wore yesterday, there was also a set of sportswear on the sofa.

It seems that the female president went to exercise last night.

He didn't think much about it, but who would have thought... after he picked up the clothes, he saw two wrinkled pairs of underwear at a glance.

"..."

The corner of his mouth twitched.

I thought, why don’t you be more sloppy?
At the same time, he was actually quite embarrassed.

It's not right to take it, and it's not right not to take it.

After thinking it over, he grabbed his sweatpants and threw them into the washing machine along with his underwear.

But he still kept the professional suit that the female president was wearing, which was very nice.

This suit cannot be machine washed; it must be dry cleaned.

After folding the clothes, he began to tidy up the documents on the coffee table.

These are the information that the headhunting company gave to the female president yesterday, which contains the names of various personnel. Lu Yao found that most of the people on these lists were from the same company.

I guess... this team is not satisfied with the treatment they received from their original company and are planning to leave collectively.

There is a lot of personnel information, which is a bit messy.

Lu Yao helped her organize the team members into one group, and the others into another group according to their surnames.

After everything was packed up, I put it in a folder.

Then start boiling water and making tea.

He found that the female president's taste was different from Hu Li's.

There is not a bottle of wine in the house, but there are a lot of scented teas.

After the water boiled, he walked into the bathroom, hesitated slightly between detergent and mop, and finally chose the mop.

then……

When the dazed Xu Ruochu heard the noise outside and opened the bedroom door, she saw the bright and clean living room... and Lu Yao mopping the floor.

Lu Yao was wearing a pair of light blue jeans and a clean white T-shirt today.

Hearing the noise, he turned his head and found Xu Ruochu staring at him, and smiled politely:

"Morning, Mr. Xu."

"..."

Xu Ruochu seemed a little uncomfortable with such strong blue-white sunlight and unconsciously avoided eye contact.

“Why not use a floor scrubber?”

she asked.

“The floor scrubber is too noisy.”

Hearing Lu Yao's words, Xu Ruochu unconsciously showed a very gentle expression on his face.

"Boss Xu, breakfast is on the table... What is our schedule for today?"

"Nothing to do this morning... Did you do the laundry?"

Only then did she realize she was hearing the noise of the washing machine and the clothes disappearing from the sofa.

"Uh... yes, except for the suit you wore yesterday. I think that suit can't be washed. It needs to be dry-cleaned."

"OK!?"

Suddenly, she seemed to realize something and looked at Lu Yao suddenly:
"The sportswear on the sofa..."

Lu Yao nodded calmly:

"Yes, they have all been cleaned. I also put disinfectant in it, so don't worry."

His answer was normal.

But Xu Ruochu's face was a little red.

But neither of them continued the conversation.

Only those who are embarrassed know it.

"Boss Xu, I have categorized the information. I put the people in the fixed team together and the others together."

"……Um."

"Would you like some tea? The scented tea is already brewed."

"I can do it myself."

She didn't ask Lu Yao for help. She picked up the glass teapot with beautiful colors on the table, poured herself a cup, and opened the lunch box.

Scallion pancakes and stir-fried vegetables.

The scallion pancakes are different from those fried outside, and you can tell at first glance that they are made at home.

It exudes the aroma of green onions.

It feels very comfortable just by smelling it.

"Mr. Xu, the soy milk in that thermos is made by my mother."

"it is good."

Xu Ruochu got up and went to the kitchen to get a bowl, but his nose twitched.

She smelled something...similar to dishwashing liquid.

I subconsciously looked at the stove and found that... the stove was also clean.

As if realizing something, she looked around again.

Everything is clean.

And this kind of cleanliness is not the feeling of being brand new, but... the kind of cleanliness that belongs to "home".

Subconsciously, she looked at the big boy who was bending over to mop the floor.

I just feel so harmonious...

His expression became softer.

……

Ms. Chen's home-cooked breakfast taste seems to suit her appetite.

I eat cleanly every time.

When she was about to finish eating, the washing machine had finished drying the clothes.

Lu Yao opened the lid of the washing machine and took out all the clothes.

Actually, there are only a few pieces, just stack them up.

But... Lu Yao felt a little troubled when looking at the two pieces of underwear.

You only wear the other clothes once...what about the underwear?
After thinking for a while, Lu Yao asked:

"Boss Xu, where should I put this underwear?"

Xu Ruochu was stunned.

Then he immediately stood up and said uncomfortably:
"... Just leave it there and throw it away together."

"???"

Lu Yao was stunned and asked subconsciously:

"Throw it away? Wear it only once?"

"Correct."

The female president who had stood up had already walked over, picked up the underwear on the sofa, and said:
"I always save them together with the stockings and throw them away together at the end."

After saying this, she seemed to think that Lu Yao would misunderstand her, and added:
“I always wash it.”

Now, Lu Yao understood the purpose of this washing machine.

After all this time, I just washed my stockings and panties...

No wonder the washing machine is not big.

but……

Lu Yao thought for a moment and said:

"Boss Xu, can I ask a question?"

"how?"

"Do you wash your new underwear every time you change into it?"

"?"

Xu Ruochu was somewhat puzzled:
"Brand new, why wash it?"

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched. Sister, you are really a living father.

No, isn’t the gap between the world that rich people grow up in and that of ordinary people so huge?
He hesitated a little... but after all, Master Lu was kind-hearted and couldn't stand the poor, so he said:
"Mr. Xu... Although these underwear are also brand new, have you ever thought that they also come from the garment factory?"

"Yes."

The female president looked puzzled.

It seemed as if Lu Yao was talking nonsense.

"Think about it, these underwear... also need workers to sew them. There are both men and women sewing these clothes, and these fabrics are not stored in a sterile space, but probably in the warehouse of the garment factory. And before these fabrics came to the warehouse of the garment factory, they were also produced by others... It is true that they are brand new, but in the production process, they must have been handled by other people, and they don't have any steam sterilization, and they don't wash..."

Lu Yao couldn't continue.

Because Xu Ruochu's face turned pale.

"You...you mean..."

"Ah."

Lu Yao nodded:

"These clothes are actually very dirty... So normally, whether it's underwear or outerwear, it's better to wash them once you buy them before wearing them..."

"...???"

Xu Ruochu's face turned green.

His words completely overturned Xu Ruochu's worldview of more than 20 years.

The rich lady who had always been used to "clothes are worse than new" and lived a disposable life, finally realized the law of everything running in the invisible corners of the clouds above...

She unconsciously pinched the two pieces of underwear in her hands...

"Boss Xu, the top is fine, but the bottom..."

She understood what Lu Yao meant before he finished speaking.

And when I think about the underwear that is in the closest contact with my body, it actually goes through...

The female president felt her scalp tingling and turned around instantly, rushing to her dressing room as if running for her life.

Just as Lu Yao was wondering if he had said something wrong, a voice came from inside:

"Lu Yao, come and help me!"

"coming."

Lu Yao quickly walked into the master bedroom and came to the dressing room. He saw the rich woman holding a pile of plastic bags in her arms.

Are these all underwear?

The corner of his mouth twitched.

At the same time, I also saw that the two large drawers were also filled with these bags.

Wow, it’s really daily disposable?
"These...how should we deal with them?"

Hearing this, Lu Yao said:
"Just wash them all, dry them, and put them away."

"Okay, help me get it."

Xu Ruochu nodded like pounding garlic.

"Ah."

Lu Yao responded, brushed past her, and picked up the bags in the cabinet.

The packaging of the bag is not particularly exquisite, but... the packaging texture is not that of an ordinary plastic bag. Instead, it is quite thick and has a slightly frosted texture.

When Lu Yao took it, he took a look at the packaging.

There is no other explanation, just one line of words: Aubade, from France. 1958.

The one in front should be an underwear brand, right?

He also walked out with a pile in his hands.

So...

Twenty minutes later, the pants in the washing machine were jumping up and down.

Flying around!

Garbage bags were scattered all over the floor.

Just when Lu Yao was about to take a large garbage bag to pack all the bags, the female president over there said:

"Let's go to the hospital now. I want to get checked out... I'm not feeling well..."

"Ok."

Lu Yao nodded.

"Then I'll go change my clothes..."

As Xu Ruochu was about to walk into the bedroom, he suddenly stopped.

Then she quickly turned around, picked up the sportswear that Lu Yao had just washed and walked into the house.

Lu Yao felt like laughing for some reason.

But he still said:
"Boss Xu, this set of underwear has just been washed."

Xu Ruochu stopped walking again.

Looking at the washed underwear, she seemed a little embarrassed, but after thinking for a while, she asked again:
"Did you put disinfectant in?"

"Ah."

"..."

Xu Ruochu was speechless and walked back to the bedroom with the underwear.

Soon, she came out in sportswear. Lu Yao didn't say much, but went downstairs with her taking a few garbage bags.

After getting in the car, the female president said:
"Go to the United Family."

Lu Yao knew where United Family Hospital was, and he also knew that it was a very high-end private hospital in Shanghai.

He nodded, started the car and drove over there.

Along the way, Xu Ruochu seemed very uncomfortable and twisted around in the back seat.

When they were almost at the hospital, she said:
"I want to wash all the clothes in the cloakroom."

"..."

Lu Yao thought about the "scale" of the cloakroom and said:

"Then you have to find a professional dry cleaner."

"No need, I'll give it to my family... It's OK, you can look for it. I want the kind that... is clean."

"Ok, I know."

"We're not going anywhere today. Let's just get this done."

Without even turning around, Lu Yao could hear her uneasiness from her tone.

So he said:

"Mr. Xu, my childhood friend's mother runs a dry cleaning shop. If you can trust me..."

“Is she skilled?”

"It has been open for many years. She washes our clothes and the price is not expensive..."

"Price is not a problem, just... just make it cleaner! Lu Yao, I feel uncomfortable all over right now."

"I'll do it in a minute, okay?"

"Yeah...it must be cleaned more thoroughly, this is my only request. And you tell her that you don't have to consider the money, just the quality of service...it has to be clean..."

"……OK."

"Uh-huh……"

She fell silent again.

Keep twisting and turning.

But Lu Yao felt speechless.

The house is so messy, now I'm like a mysophobe.

You are really weird.

But on the other hand, he was quite happy.

This is indeed a big order. I will have to ask Director Zhang to treat me to a good meal later.

As for hygiene... to be honest, Lu Yao is not really worried.

Since childhood, Director Zhang has been beaten by Aunt Li many times because of "hygiene" issues, but Aunt Li is also famous for her cleanliness.

Without mentioning anything else, I’ll just say one thing.

When Director Zhang mops the floor at home, they mop it once, and then Aunt Li kneels on the floor and wipes it again with a rag.

After wiping and waiting for the water to dry, Aunt Li would use her hands to "scratch" the fluffy hair. (Note 1)

This shows how clean Aunt Li is.

If someone who can demand such an extent of herself does dirty work, then there will be no clean people in the world.

(Note 1: Aunt Li is based on my grandmother… That’s how clean the old lady is. She’s 80 now, and she still mops the floor twice a day. No one in the family can persuade her to stop. If I hadn’t bumped my head on it three or four times and covered it with a layer of blessing stickers, no one else would have been able to see the glass there… Alas. This cute and stubborn old lady with a cleanliness obsession.)
