Chapter 316: These Words Stunned Lu Youxi

Chapter 316: Chapter 316: These Words Stunned Lu Youxi

Lu Youxi didn’t speak, as she felt like she couldn’t even pronounce words at the moment.

Yet, she couldn’t help but think, how could she possibly sleep like this?

The warmth and touch of his palm still lingered on her skin.

In front of Zhou Shuyan, Lu Youxi didn’t want to embarrass herself too much, and she managed to restrain herself from trembling slightly.

Zhou Shuyan stood up and said to Lu Youxi again, "Good night."

"Good night," Lu Youxi finally managed to speak.

Her voice sounded delicate and was slightly hoarse.

That voice almost made Zhou Shuyan unable to move his legs.

Zhou Shuyan took a deep breath and finally managed to convince himself to go downstairs to sleep.

However, that night, neither of them slept well.

Every time one of them turned over, both could clearly hear it.

The next morning at 6 a.m., in the winter morning, the sky wasn’t fully bright yet, only a bit of deep blue light shone through.

They both got out of bed.

Last night at the Lu Family’s home, they had already agreed to return there for breakfast in the morning.

Since it was dark outside, the lights were on inside.

Lu Youxi got ready and was about to go downstairs when Zhou Shuyan was already waiting at the staircase entrance.

He looked up slightly, and seeing Lu Youxi, he softly greeted, "Morning."

Lu Youxi paused for a moment, thinking that this man clearly also tossed and turned all night—she heard it.

Despite obviously not sleeping well, how could he still look so spirited now?

His tall and upright posture, waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs, was indescribably noble and attractive.

The narrow environment didn’t limit his demeanor at all.

Lu Youxi couldn’t help thinking, how could this man be so handsome and carry such a good temperament?

As Lu Zhenguo once said, back in Hexing Village, he thought Zhou Shuyan’s temperament was exceptional, assuming all city people were like that.

But after coming to the Imperial Capital, she realized it was only Zhou Shuyan like this.

The rest were pretty much the same.

"Morning," Lu Youxi said as she walked down the stairs.

"You..." Zhou Shuyan unconsciously wanted to ask how she slept last night, but then remembered that Lu Youxi also tossed and turned all night—he had heard it.

Worried about bringing it up and getting a cold stare from Lu Youxi, he touched his nose and swallowed the rest of his words.

"What?" Lu Youxi wondered why he started to say something and then stopped.

Zhou Shuyan quickly changed the subject, "I was going to ask if you want to make New Year’s visits today."

"Not really, I only have business dealings with Chengzhou now. But I don’t even know the addresses of people like Vice President Xiang," Lu Youxi explained with no suspicion, "A phone call to wish them a happy New Year this morning will suffice."

Business still hadn’t expanded, so she was mostly in contact with Xiang Shihong and a few others.

Besides them and Professor Zhang Xucheng, there weren’t many others in the Imperial Capital she needed to pay New Year’s visits to.

Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan took the subway back to the Lu Family home in the morning.

Since many people had gone back to their hometowns for the New Year, there were far fewer people in the Imperial Capital than usual.

They left early and, for once, enjoyed riding an empty subway.

When they returned to the Lu Family, Xu Jingmin was still there.

She had been enthusiastically invited by Liu Yushu to stay for breakfast.

Thinking about going back to an empty home, Xu Jingmin couldn’t help but agree.

Upon entering, Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan greeted the three elders with New Year’s greetings.

Liu Yushu, all smiles, handed out New Year’s money to Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi.

In previous years, Liu Yushu had also secretly saved a bit of money to give Lu Youxi New Year’s money on the sly.

Usually, it was at night, when the Lu Family’s elders had gone to sleep, that she would secretly go to Lu Youxi’s room to give it to her.

This was the first time Lu Youxi received New Year’s money openly early on the first day of the New Year.

"Mom, I’m already this old, why are you still giving me New Year’s money?" Lu Youxi said with a laugh.

"You’re still my daughter no matter how old you are, and as long as I’m here, I’ll always give you New Year’s money," Liu Yushu said earnestly.

Liu Yushu now seemed determined to make up for all the grievances Lu Youxi had endured in the past.

No crying on such a festive day, Lu Youxi held back her tears, smiled, nodded in acceptance, and did not refuse.

Zhou Shuyan just didn’t expect to receive any himself.

Xu Jingmin thought, considering how wealthy Zhou Shuyan was, how could he feel right about accepting money from his mother-in-law? So she said, "Youxi is still in college, young. But Shuyan is much older, why would you give it to him?"

"Treat him the same as Youxi, anything Youxi has, Shuyan has too," Liu Yushu said with a smile.

Xu Jingmin was also prepared and took out two red envelopes from her bag.

She handed one to Lu Youxi and one to Lu Youxue, bluntly telling Zhou Shuyan, "You don’t have one."

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

"Ah, how did you even prepare one for Youxue?" Liu Yushu said feeling a bit embarrassed.

"In here, Youxue is the real child, he’s the one who should have one," Xu Jingmin said with a laugh, "Don’t be polite with me, it’s the New Year after all, it’s all about seeking good fortune."

After breakfast, Lu Youxi made one phone call after another to wish people a happy New Year.

She first called Professor Zhang Xucheng and then phoned Xiang Shihong.

Then, she called Shen Yanqing and Yan Lixu.

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

The CEO’s wife calling them to wish a happy New Year—Xiang Shihong might not know, but would Shen Yanqing and Yan Lixu be scared to death?

Indeed, Shen Yanqing and Yan Lixu were terrified.

Shen Yanqing kept saying he should have been the one to call and wish her a happy New Year.

Lu Youxi was momentarily stunned by his words.

Thinking that although Shen Yanqing was the manager of the R&D department and his business card title wasn’t as high as hers, he was still the R&D manager of the Chengzhou Group, which made a difference.

He was older than Lu Youxi and had more work experience.

It seemed more appropriate for her to wish Shen Yanqing a happy New Year.

But Shen Yanqing’s sincerity made it seem as if he should really be the one wishing Lu Youxi a happy New Year.

His sincerity left Lu Youxi quite confused.

As for Yan Lixu, his reaction was the same.

"Pre...Pre..." Yan Lixu stuttered over the phone.

What was he trying to say?

Lu Youxi didn’t have the phone on speaker, so Zhou Shuyan, who was nearby, couldn’t hear what was being said on the other side.

However, from hearing Lu Youxi talking to Shen Yanqing earlier, Zhou Shuyan could mostly guess what Shen Yanqing had said on the phone.

Zhou Shuyan thought to himself that Shen Yanqing’s survival instinct was quite strong.

As for Yan Lixu’s side, Zhou Shuyan hadn’t picked up anything yet.

"President Lu!" Yan Lixu finally managed to recover, "I was just about to call and wish you a happy New Year. I didn’t expect you to beat me to it. That was my oversight."

Lu Youxi: "..."

Is it common for you guys at Chengzhou Investment to proactively call and wish a happy New Year?

Was it because she started in this field too late in her previous life, so she wasn’t familiar with the interpersonal etiquette of the modern workplace?

Is it different from what will be customary in the future?
