Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 69 Impressive
"Son, the graduation banquet is scheduled for the 30th, which happens to be a Saturday."

After Lu Yao returned home, he received a notice from his mother.

At the same time, Lu Yuanshan also asked:

"Did your boss agree?"

"accepted."

Lu Yao nodded:
"But... I think we shouldn't mention money. Just express our gratitude."

"That's for sure."

Ms. Chen nodded:

"It's tacky to mention money. She's not short of money. We just need to express our feelings... She will sit at the VIP table with the teachers from your school."

"Ah."

Lu Yao responded, turned to Lu Yuanshan and asked:

"Dad, have you asked about your work?"

When this was mentioned, Ms. Chen immediately became very excited:
"Oh, your dad went there this morning and told me that their company is so big and that your dad is lucky to have this job. He drives for his boss and is a vice president of a real estate company. I asked your dad to go through the onboarding process this afternoon and he will officially start work on July 7st!"

Looking at his mother's expression, Lu Yao knew that she was really happy.

Because... the mother's greatest wish is actually that the father would not be so tired. Besides... the risk factor of long-distance buses is really high. She dare not even think about the consequences if she is not careful.

And now that she has got such a good job, she has really fulfilled her dream.

He also felt at ease.

……

Early morning on the 27th.

Lu Yao went to work as usual.

When I arrived at Xu Ruochu's house, the bags of clothes were still there, but the peace locket box placed at the entrance was gone.

Lu Yao put all the clothes in front of the sofa and began to organize them.

At around 9 o'clock, Xu Ruochu got up.

When she saw Lu Yao in the living room, she nodded:
"morning."

"Morning, Mr. Xu."

"Well, I'm going to the gym in the morning. I have nothing else to do today, so I'll go for a beauty treatment in the afternoon. If you have nothing to do, you can go after get off work."

"No, it's more convenient for me to follow you."

Having said this, Lu Yao paused and continued:

"That real estate company offered my dad a very good job. My dad no longer drives a sports car and can stay at home with my mom every day. I don't want to disturb their world of two."

Xu Ruochu tilted his head and smiled:

"That's fine."

Lu Yao nodded:
"Well, very good!"

"Ha~"

Xu Ruochu chuckled, walked to the dining table and opened the lunch box.

Today's breakfast is porridge and golden potato pancakes.

Paired with Ms. Chen’s side dishes, she felt very happy after taking a whiff.

In particular, the pot of scented tea on the table has been brewed, and the fragrance of tea and flowers is everywhere.

She sat in a position where she could just see Lu Yao and ate breakfast in the bright sunshine.

……

In the last few days of June, Shanghai quietly went from sunny to rainy season.

After the rainy season began, the rain never stopped.

There’s nothing else going on, except that Lu Yao can’t go out to play ball anymore.

So, after get off work, he went to the gym as usual.

While practicing free Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and mopping the gym floor cleaner than a dog licks it, he enjoys the laughter at home.

On the second day of the plum rain season, June 6, he held a graduation banquet in a restaurant near his home.

There's actually not much to say about the graduation banquet, and what's really unfortunate is that... the school beauty's banquet was also held on this day.

The two had originally agreed to "you come to mine and I go to yours", but now it has become "go to yours."

Wei Qianqian was furious on the phone and asked him how he could pick the date so well.

He also poached the teacher away.

Lu Yao is also innocent.

This is the last good day left in June.

There will be a funeral tomorrow.

Should I change my graduation party to tomorrow?
Should I bury you first or me first?

As for prying people away...it just doesn't exist, okay?

I am number one in the country, and the teacher won't attend my class. Should I attend your graduation party, a piece of trash who can't even get into Qinghua University?

But he didn't dare say this, for fear that the next time the school beauty saw him, he would smell not the perfume on his body, but the No. 32 plunger.

At noon, Xu Ruochu, who drove alone, came as invited.

When she arrived, Lu Yao and Lu Qing were standing at the door to greet people.

"Hey, beauty!"

Lu Qing had a sly look in his eyes and immediately spotted Xu Ruochu, who was still dressed in black, holding a black umbrella, and carrying a black leather handbag with a gold buckle.

In her opinion... this woman's aura is too strong.

White skin, all black.

Combined with the gloomy and spooky weather of the rainy season, there is a Baroque beauty in this humidity.

There is a sense of mystery all over his body.

Naturally, she wanted to share this top-notch product with her brother.

What's more... the other person is just like me, both of them are "small" and petite.

But it's so charming.

It turns out that my mother was right.

Only when you have small breasts can you look elegant in clothes!
This sister is so beautiful!

When Lu Yao was reminded by her, he also looked in the direction he came from.

His eyes met Xu Ruochu's.

However, unlike Lu Qing's full body scan, Lu Yao noticed...what she was wearing on her chest today was the peace locket necklace that he had given her.

In fact, her dressing style has always been like this. Most of her summer clothes are black, and she doesn’t like particularly complicated color combinations.

But at the same time, the solid black long skirt, paired with the peace locket, the only embellishment on the body... has a finishing touch.

Although I don’t know how much this long skirt costs, the peace locket of more than 300 yuan is just right.

It made her become more "glowing".

He felt inexplicably happy, but he didn't hesitate and walked over quickly.

"?"

Lu Qing was stunned.

Are you so brave?

But immediately I heard my brother's voice:

"Mr. Xu, you are here."

Mr. Xu?
Isn't that my brother's boss? That rich man... huh?

She was confused.

This... this rich woman... is so beautiful?
ah? ? ? ?

At this moment, she saw the rich sister take out a red envelope from her handbag.

"Congratulations."

"Mr. Xu, no."

Lu Yao shook his head directly:

"It's agreed."

"Not giving is always inappropriate, and not giving enough."

"That's not OK."

Lu Yao shook his head firmly.

Xu Ruochu did not force him. After seeing his expression, he nodded:
"it is good."

"Let me take you in. I've reserved a seat for you."

"Ah."

Following her agreement, Lu Yao turned around and saw the stunned Lu Qing.

So he said:

"Boss Xu, this is my sister Lu Qing. Lu Qing, this is Boss Xu, Xu Ruochu."

"Uh……"

Lu Qing quickly came back to his senses and then became reserved:
"Hello, Mr. Xu."

"Hello, I'm Xu Ruochu."

Although the female president's tone was very gentle, her aura was...very strong.

Lu Qing is less than three years younger than her. She was born in April 90.

But the temperament is totally incomparable.

He was caught directly.

"Please come in..."

Lu Qing quickly shook hands, and then said to Lu Yao:

"I'll go call our parents."

After saying that, he rushed in like a mouse seeing a cat.

This made Xu Ruochu stunned.

Lu Yao thought to himself, you are a finished piece of shit...

Quickly cover up a sentence:
"My sister is quite introverted... Mr. Xu, let's go. I've arranged a table for you with my teacher and his friends, but I'm not sure if the food will suit your taste."

Hearing this, Xu Ruochu smiled slightly:
"I'm quite hungry. I didn't eat breakfast."

Lu Yao was also happy:
"Then you should eat more."

"Ah."

The two entered the banquet hall.

In addition to friends, the relatives who came today are all from Lu Yao's grandmother's side.

My father is from Henan Province, and all his relatives are in his hometown in Henan Province.

It is good for children to go to school, but it is obviously not realistic to travel long distances just to attend a graduation banquet.

And Xu Ruochu's appearance did attract a lot of people's attention.

There was no way. From the very beginning, Lu Yao had never seen her temperament lose to anyone else.

Even with the Queen of the Sea, the two are equally matched.

The temperament of a lady from a noble family cannot be hidden no matter how hard she tries.

And looking at Lu Yao's gesture of leading with his empty hands, it seems... he is a distinguished guest?
Yaoyao’s teacher?

This teacher is so pretty.

At this time, Lu Yuanshan and Ms. Chen came over after hearing the news.

To be honest... before this, Ms. Chen had only one impression of her son's boss: he was rich.

She was even frightened when she saw her son's clothes worth two or three hundred thousand yuan and his improved "material conditions".

I’m afraid these rich people will teach their sons bad things.

but……

When she saw Xu Ruochu for the first time, she was stunned.

so pretty?

The second time she saw it, she had a very unrealistic idea.

If this was my daughter-in-law...

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she suppressed it immediately.

unrealistic.

And what immediately arose in my heart was a sense of security.

This girl looks like a good person. Whether she is kind or not is unknown, but... just standing there, she gives people a different feeling.

People of questionable character definitely don't have this kind of temperament.

Lu Yuanshan next to him was also surprised.

And it is exactly the same as the cognition of the lover.

Yaoyao’s boss… is so beautiful?
But they were both adults after all, and they knew how to hide their inner thoughts, so within a few steps their faces were full of smiles.

"Boss Xu, this is my father Lu Yuanshan and my mother Chen Aihua."

"Hello, Mr. Xu..."

Hearing Ms. Chen's greeting, Xu Ruochu quickly bowed:

"Hello, Aunt Chen. I'm Xu Ruochu."

Very humble attitude.

Ms. Chen was quite surprised, but at the same time she felt that this... boss was well-mannered.

But Lu Yao was not surprised.

Because Xu Ruochu was indeed like that, and I had never seen her act arrogantly or anything like that.

"Hey, come in, come in, Yaoyao, take Mr. Xu to sit down. Yaoyao has been taken care of by you these days."

"Auntie, you don't have to be polite. Just call me Ruchu. Actually, Lu Yao takes care of me more..."

"No, no, how could I not know what my son is like? He is lucky to be appreciated by you..."

"I don't deserve it, Auntie, you can just call me Ruchu."

When the two were being polite, Lu Yuanshan said:
"Yaoyao, take Miss Xu to sit down."

This finally stopped Ms. Chen's politeness.

Lu Yao nodded:
"Boss Xu, this way."

"Well, uncle and aunt are busy now, I'll go over first."

"Good good..."

Looking at Xu Ruochu being taken away by her son, Ms. Chen said to her husband:

“He looks like a very nice person.”

"Ah."

Lu Yuanshan also nodded.

That's absolutely true.

After Xu Ruochu was arranged to sit at the VIP table, several of Lu Yao's teachers also looked at her.

But... no one asked.

There was only one VIP table for this graduation banquet. Those who could sit here must have helped the Lu family a lot. It was natural for the teachers to sit at this table. As for this person... could it be Lu Yao's extracurricular tutor?

This colleague is too beautiful.

Li Linjiang thought to himself.

As for Xu Ruochu, after sitting down, his eyes fell on Lu Yao, who was wearing a suit and looked very formal today.

She had seen that suit before.

Lu Yao walked through it once, at a funeral.

To be honest... it doesn't look good.

Whether cutting or anything else.

She tilted her head, suddenly thought of something, and then pouted.

fleeting.

Amid the bustle of guests coming and going, plates of cold dishes were brought to carts at the banquet hall's food delivery counter.

The food is served.

……

In fact, a proper graduation banquet needs a host to let everyone know how well the child did in the exam, which university the child applied to, etc.

But the Lao Lu family was not prepared.

It's not that they can't afford it, but when Lu Qing came, they had no experience and didn't hold any ceremony. When it came to Lu Yao, it was no longer necessary.

However, the Lao Lu family still prepared gifts for the teacher.

It is not something valuable, but for teachers, it is the greatest recognition.

Six Rites of Suixiu.

During the banquet, Lu Yao personally pushed several carts filled with six kinds of gifts, and presented boxes of gifts from students to express their gratitude to the teachers with both hands.

As the national top scholar, his six gifts of tribute and tuition were also an honor to his teacher.

Li Linjiang took it with both hands and also presented return gifts prepared by several teachers.

A calligraphy scroll.

There are four words on it: Learning leads to far-reaching goals.

Not expensive.

But it’s also full of heart.

Can teach a national champion...

Being a teacher is a lifelong honor.

This friendship between teachers and students also won everyone's applause.

During the final group photo, the guests' applause became a sea.

In the vast ocean, Xu Ruochu was also applauding.

But all their eyes were focused on Lu Yao who was showing the calligraphy and painting.

The top scholar.

Pass the imperial examination and live a happy life.

Looking at Lu Yao with a smile on his face, she seemed to have thought of something.

A hint of satisfaction appeared on his face.

He also squinted his eyes and smiled.

……

At the graduation banquet, the Lu family received a lot of gifts.

But this kind of thing is about the exchange of favors. It seems like you are receiving favors, but in fact some people may have to pay them back in the future, while some people received favors in previous years and are returning the favors now.

The exact amount is not yet clear.

Lu Yao and Lu Qing were seeing off guests at this moment.

I wouldn’t say this meal is extravagant, but at least it expresses the host’s good intentions.

Li Linjiang was a little drunk.

His face was flushed.

Holding Lu Yao's hand, he said very seriously:
"Lu Yao, your life has just begun when you go to college. After college, you will have to enter society, which is also another brand new school. The teacher can't give you too many blessings, but I just hope you can be humble and down-to-earth. No matter which path you choose, you can remember your original intention. I hope you will have a smooth road ahead and get better and better!"

There is no such thing as "giving back to society".

As a person who has experienced it, Li Linjiang knows very well that... this society is a big melting pot.

Enough to turn anyone into someone who is... unrecognizable.

He believed that as the top scorer in the college entrance examination, his disciple would not lag behind any of his peers in academics.

But later...

The future is uncertain, who can say for sure?

I just hope...his journey will be smoother.

"Thank you, teacher. I remember now!"

"Ok!"

Li Linjiang grabbed Lu Yao's hand, held it tightly, and shook it hard twice before letting go.

He waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to send more and left.

The other teachers behind him also gave their blessings and finally waved goodbye.

As for the next time we meet again... I really don’t know how long it will be.

The banquet hall was still bustling with activity.

Relatives took advantage of the rare gathering to drink and chat.

At this time, Xu Ruochu came over.

She finished eating too.

To be honest, the taste of the dishes is just average.

But she was not picky. She tasted every dish and after eating, she waited for the teachers to leave first before she followed.

Coming to Lu Yao, she smiled and said:

"I'm stuffed."

Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, then smiled:

"That's good. I'm just worried that the food won't suit Mr. Xu's taste."

"No, I like it very much. But the maoxuewang is a little too spicy."

Under normal circumstances, Lu Yao might have complained, but at this moment her words seemed to prove the phrase "I'm full", which made Lu Yao look happy.

"Then... shall I take you there?"

"Need not."

Xu Ruochu smiled and shook his head:
"You should be very busy today, I can go back by myself. See you tomorrow?"

"Ok."

Lu Yao nodded:
"See you tomorrow."

"Well, say hello to my uncle and aunt for me. They are very busy, so I won't say hello."

"Ok."

Lu Yao, knowing her temper, didn't waste any words, and Xu Ruochu waved politely to Lu Qing and was about to leave.

"Mr. Xu, umbrella."

Lu Yao picked up the umbrella that was specially kept for her.

This umbrella... he didn't know how much it cost.

But it is impossible for the other party’s things to be cheap.

What's more, after buying it, he knew... this was definitely not an umbrella worth ten or twenty dollars.

The texture is quite calm.

"Well……"

Xu Ruochu belatedly remembered her umbrella, and seeing him holding it in his hand and handing it to her, she realized that he had kept it on purpose.

Inexplicably, his brows softened.

Lu Qing was stunned again.

Finally, she took the umbrella and disappeared around the corner of the entrance step by step.

"Lu Yao..."

"Ok?"

Lu Yao turned his head, looked at Lu Qing and asked:

"what happened?"

"You, the boss..."

Lu Qing recalled and sighed:
“He is really not an ordinary person.”

"Isn't this nonsense?"

Lu Yao thought to himself, have you ever seen an ordinary person throw away clothes worth ten or twenty thousand yuan on the same day?

But this time he misunderstood Lu Qing's meaning.

The sophomore girl, who was about to enter her junior year, was thinking about the aura of the other person's walk, that kind of... inexplicable feeling of confidence, that kind of... the absolute center of attention as soon as she appeared... She shook her head and sighed with envy:

"Oh... it's great."

"...Okay, hurry up, our uncle and the others are here."

Hearing this, Lu Qing quickly came back to his senses.

"Uncle~Aunt, have you finished eating?"

Welcome with a smile.

Farewell with a smile.

With the top scholar coming to serve as the "welcoming guest", it was obvious that all the relatives and friends were enjoying the graduation banquet very much.
