Chapter 278 Training
Lu Jingyao's company had just moved to a new office building, not far from Tomson Yipin.
When Xu Youyou arrived, the entire floor was brightly lit.
"So many people are working overtime with him?" Xu Youyou asked.
Assistant Liu nodded and said, "Ms. Xu, if Mr. Lu wasn't worried about someone else picking you up, I would be working overtime with him now."
Xu Youyou frowned slightly: "Are your employees willing too?"
Assistant Liu said helplessly, "Who wouldn't want money? Mr. Lu seems to be planning something big lately. Normal overtime pay is three times the regular salary, but Mr. Lu is paying five times. Now every employee is pumped up."
When Xu Youyou heard this, she didn't think that Assistant Liu, as Lu Jingyao's most trusted assistant, would not know what big thing Lu Jingyao was planning.
The other party did not explain clearly, and she did not ask in detail, for fear that it would involve business secrets and cause embarrassment to both of them.
Lu Jingyao's office was on the top floor. When Xu Youyou arrived, he was talking on the phone.
Xu Youyou entered accompanied by Assistant Liu. Lu Jingyao's eyes lit up when he saw her, and then he pointed at his mobile phone with an apologetic look on his face.
Assistant Liu considerately brought a glass of water to Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou took a sip. The water temperature was fifty degrees and there was no tea leaves in it, which was her usual preference. The snacks in front of her also all suited her taste.
Lu Jingyao's call lasted another five minutes before he hung up. He immediately asked Xu Youyou, "Did you have a smooth journey?"
Xu Youyou didn't dare mention her distress in Pattaya, and only said, "The flight went smoothly. They had said there might be a storm, but I didn't expect it to be a miscalculation by the airline."
Lu Jingyao breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "You just came back from abroad, why don't you go back and rest first?"
Xu Youyou looked at him and said, "I haven't seen you for many days. I want to see you."
Lu Jingyao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He held Xu Youyou's hand and said, "I was thinking of going to see you after I was done with this busy period, but I didn't expect you to come back first. Don't worry, it will only take half a month at most, and I will be able to rest for a while. When the time comes, I will accompany you wherever you want to go."
Xu Youyou tilted her head and looked at Lu Jingyao: "You seem to be really busy recently, and you seem to have lost a lot of weight."
Lu Jingyao touched his nose awkwardly and forced an explanation: "I haven't lost much weight. It might be that my appetite hasn't been very good recently..."
Xu Youyou's face darkened slightly: "Have you been busy with work?"
Lu Jingyao said helplessly: "I can't hide anything from you."
Xu Youyou recalled what Gu Xueying had said when they were abroad and asked, "Are you and Xie Ran really planning to siege the Star Diamond Group?"
Lu Jingyao nodded gently. He didn't attribute all the reasons to Xu Youyou, but said, "This is a business war. We can't afford to slack off even a little bit. Not only does the Star Diamond Group have a deep hatred for Xie Ran, they're also blocking my way."
Xu Youyou paused after hearing this, and swallowed the words of persuasion she was about to offer. She said, "Since this matter is so important to you, is there anything I can do to help you?"
Lu Jingyao quickly said, "Xie Ran is incredibly capable. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have found such a suitable ally, nor would I have found such a suitable opportunity. You've already helped me a lot."
Xu Youyou's mouth corners slightly raised.
Lu Jingyao looked at his girlfriend, who had a slightly tired look on her face, and said softly, "It's getting late. You've been traveling so long. Go back and rest first."
Xu Youyou shook her head.
A moment later, Xu Fang came in carrying an insulated box.
"I ordered some midnight snacks. You stay with me to eat, and then I'll go home to rest." Xu Youyou said.
Lu Jingyao hadn't seen Xu Youyou for more than ten days and really missed her. Looking at the dazzling array of midnight snacks on the table, at least several of the dishes were his favorites, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
"No matter how busy you are at work, you must eat well." Xu Youyou said casually.
Lu Jingyao always neglects things when he is busy. His last meal today was at noon and he did not have dinner.
After the two of them had a midnight snack together, Xu Youyou did not force herself to stay. After confirming that although Lu Jingyao was tired and haggard, he seemed to be still under control, she left.
When she returned to her residence, Xu Youyou found this place pleasing to the eye no matter how she looked at it. She just wanted to stay at home and be a stay-at-home girl, and didn't want to go to any European or Southeast Asian countries.
【Host. 】
Xu Youyou, who was taking a bath, became tense instantly when she heard the system's voice.
"Do you have a new mission?"
System: [Not available at this time.]
Xu Youyou immediately relaxed.
[Host, the system training space is now open for a limited-time discount. All training programs can be redeemed for 10% off the training hours.]
Xu Youyou:!!!
She completed several lucky-hunting missions during this period, but the rewards she received were no longer big villas or special skills, but all training courses.
She originally wanted to use up the training hours when she was abroad, but the space was suddenly blocked, and she had accumulated a lot of training hours that she had no way to use.
At the time, she was still madly blaming the system in her heart, thinking that the system couldn't afford to play tricks. Now that the training space has been restarted, the system suddenly gave a 10% discount. Xu Youyou thought about it and asked, "Good system, did you block the training space before to make my training hours worthwhile?"
The system's mechanical voice remained cold and emotionless, and the words it spoke were also indifferent: [Host, the system will never act irrationally because of its favoritism towards a particular host. Please believe that the shielding of the training space is entirely based on the system's optimization of intelligent components...]
Xu Youyou listened to the system's long speech. She could only hear the first half of the system expressing its selflessness. The second half was full of professional terms, so Xu Youyou automatically skipped over those words.
"I don't care. I always judge by actions, not by intentions. I only see that you are good to me. In my heart, you are the best system." Xu Youyou said.
What she said was not a lie. Even though she usually quarreled with the system, without this system, she would not be who she is today. Just for helping her change her fate, Xu Youyou would be grateful to the system for the rest of her life.
The system interface flashes for a moment.
But three seconds later, the system spoke again, still with a cold mechanical voice.
[Host, the limited-time discount only lasts for three days. The training hours you redeem only last for twelve months. Please arrange your study time accordingly.]
After Xu Youyou received clear instructions from the system, she selected the training content she wanted to learn and exchange it in the shortest time possible.
