Chapter 247: Chapter 247: I Have a Lawyer Friend

Unfortunately, none of those classmates had phones with a camera function back then, so no one got a picture of Zhou Shuyan.

It was just rumored that Lu Youxi’s husband was very handsome.

Today, Ji Deyi finally saw Zhou Shuyan for the first time.

He thought to himself that his classmates were not lying.

Zhou Shuyan really was good-looking!

Even as a man, he had to admit that Zhou Shuyan was attractive.

Ji Deyi and Pei Jingyuan acted with the awareness of being employees, even though they were already shareholders of the Little Pink Book tech company.

But in their eyes, Lu Youxi was always their boss, Lu Youxi was the boss.

So, the two stood up together and called out to Zhou Shuyan, "Hello, we are the boss’s employees."

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

Ji Deyi added another self-introduction, "I went to university with the boss."

"Although I didn’t go to the same university as them, we are also the same age," Pei Jingyuan followed.

"Hello," Zhou Shuyan replied earnestly without condescension, "My name is Zhou Shuyan."

Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi both found Zhou Shuyan’s name to sound familiar.

Wasn’t the CEO of Chengzhou Group also called that?

However, even so, they didn’t connect Zhou Shuyan with the CEO of Chengzhou Group.

If Lu Youxi was the CEO’s wife of Chengzhou Group, would she still have to worry about money and start from owning an internet café?

After establishing the company, they didn’t even have a decent office yet.

So, the two just thought it was a coincidence of having the same name.

Nobody thought too deeply about it.

Moreover, who would imagine they are the same person?

It was beyond their wildest thoughts.

"Brother Zhou, hello!" Both called out again.

"Please, have a seat," Lu Youxi said quickly, "Do you two really need to be so formal?"

Ji Deyi and Pei Jingyuan thought to themselves that this was the boss’s husband, they definitely needed to build a good relationship!

Pillow talk is very powerful!

That’s when Zhou Shuyan turned to Lu Youxi and asked, "I heard you mentioned you want to find classmates from the Law faculty. Do you have some legal issues for consultation?"

Lu Youxi then talked about collaborating with Jing University, finding students from economically challenging backgrounds to work at her place through work-study programs.

She also mentioned her plan to open another restaurant.

"In the future, the restaurant will also need staff," Lu Youxi said. "Although I don’t think the school would intentionally take advantage of me, compared personally to Jing University, I am in a weaker position. In the agreement, there might be aspects that we can discuss. But if I go alone, I probably won’t hold much standing against Jing University. Having a lawyer present might give us more confidence."

"I have a friend who is a lawyer," Zhou Shuyan said, "I’ll contact him, just a moment."

Zhou Shuyan got up and went outside the Internet café to make a call.

The lawyer Zhou Shuyan contacted was Lawyer Sheng from Chengzhou Group.

Being able to handle legal affairs for Chengzhou Group, Lawyer Sheng was naturally no ordinary lawyer.

He was a well-known lawyer nationwide.

Chengzhou Group was a big piece of the cake that all capable law firms were vying for.

After Zhou Shuyan had left, Ji Deyi quietly said to Lu Youxi, "Boss, Brother Zhou really doesn’t look like a countryman at all. He has such a great aura."

Pei Jingyuan nodded in agreement and then asked with confusion, "Countryman? What countryman?"

Ji Deyi explained, "Boss’s family is from Hexing Village, you know that, right?"

Pei Jingyuan nodded that he did.

"Brother Zhou too, they got married in Hexing Village," Ji Deyi said, "But look at Brother Zhou, does he look like a countryman?"

"Don’t even mention city folks, even the professors at Jing University, who are much older than Brother Zhou and have vast life experiences and rich knowledge, I think their aura is pretty much similar to Brother Zhou’s, maybe even slightly less?"

The last part of his sentence, Ji Deyi said with some self-doubt.

He was a little skeptical as to whether his judgment was correct.

The professors at Jing University were high-level intellectuals, the nation’s top talents.

Could their aura really not compare to Zhou Shuyan’s?

That couldn’t be!

But what Ji Deyi saw truly was so.

Pei Jingyuan, however, wasn’t as surprised as Ji Deyi, "What’s so surprising about that? You said it yourself, the boss also came from Hexing Village. But does she look like a village girl? Even city girls raised in wealth I’ve met don’t have an aura as good as the boss’s."

Pei Jingyuan shook his head as he spoke, "The thing about aura, I think it’s inherent. No matter if you come from a village or not, a good aura is a good aura."

"True," Ji Deyi rubbed his chin. It seemed he had always overlooked that Lu Youxi also came from a village.

Her aura was unmatched in the city.

Even though she has made money and still wears simple clothes, she still stuck to the outfit she had when she first arrived in the city.

Even if Lu Youxi added new clothes to her wardrobe, she only shopped at wholesale markets and not in big malls.

Her clothes indeed looked cheap.

But Lu Youxi’s own aura was different.

"By the way, what’s with Brother Zhou knowing a lawyer friend?" Ji Deyi asked again.

Wasn’t he also from the village?

But looking at the sharp suits Zhou Shuyan wore, he hardly seemed like he came to the city to do manual labor.

"He works with Chengzhou," Lu Youxi said with a smile, "I’ve never said he worked laying bricks in Imperial Capital."

Ji Deyi: "..."

You never said it.

But from the way you usually describe it, that’s what everyone thought.

Ji Deyi then somewhat helplessly glanced at Lu Youxi’s left ring finger.

She was still wearing that 15 yuan silver ring.

Working with Chengzhou, he surely could afford a gold ring.

Ji Deyi couldn’t help but think of Lu Youxi’s famous saying.

"Our financial situation is not very good."

Back then when she opened the Internet café, that was also what she told her classmates from Jing University.

This led to Jing University students coming to the Internet café, discovering Lu Youxi was the owner, and suddenly questioning their life, reevaluating the meaning of "Our financial situation is not very good."

Pei Jingyuan’s expression brightened, "Does Brother Zhou have any inside information? About Chengzhou Group’s support programs?"

Ji Deyi’s expression also brightened. Right!

No wonder Lu Youxi knew about this.

Both assumed Lu Youxi knew because Zhou Shuyan had told her in advance.

But in reality, Lu Youxi had simply followed this online by herself.

Lu Youxi shook her head, "I haven’t told him about our plan to participate in the Chengzhou support program, and neither should you two let it slip."

"Ah? Why?" Ji Deyi didn’t understand.

"To avoid conflict of interest," Lu Youxi said. "Chengzhou is a big company, and they definitely value such matters."
