Chapter 347: Chapter 347: He’s Very Jealous

"""

Zhou Xueyi was also just a topic of investigation.

Lu Youxi laughed awkwardly when she realized her question indeed sounded confusing, explaining, "That was a brainless question of me to ask."

Switching tactics, Lu Youxi said, "When you saw us in the apartment corridor before, were you about to greet Zhou Shuyan?"

If Zhou Shuyan was the name of the CEO of Chengzhou, Hou Xiaohai wouldn’t find anything odd upon hearing it.

But if it wasn’t Zhou Shuyan, Hou Xiaohai would definitely point out curiously what their CEO’s real name was.

Sure enough, Hou Xiaohai showed no surprise in his reaction and even nodded vigorously with a smile, "Yes, I never expected to meet both of you at Chengzhou Apartments. Were you and the CEO there to inspect the Chengzhou Apartments?"

Lu Youxi chuckled dryly and said, "We are... quite frugal."

Hou Xiaohai: "..."

Ah no, why didn’t he believe those words at all?

Ruffling his hair, Hou Xiaohai addressed Lu Youxi’s previous question, "I always intend to greet you, but it seems I am always unlucky and never get the chance to speak."

Lu Youxi thought to herself that someone definitely did not want him to speak.

Although there was still no evidence now, this Chengzhou employee, Hou Xiaohai, was living proof.

If Lu Youxi continued to doubt Zhou Shuyan’s identity, then she would be a fool!

"It’s okay now, go on with your work; I won’t hold you up," Lu Youxi said with a smile to Hou Xiaohai.

After a moment of thought, Hou Xiaohai still felt compelled to explain, "I never had the chance to apologize to you."

Lu Youxi curiously asked, "Apologize for what?"

"When I first met you, I didn’t know you were the CEO’s wife," Hou Xiaohai explained.

Lu Youxi thought to herself that it wasn’t just him who didn’t know; she herself didn’t even know.

"Actually, I was trying to flirt with you at that time," said Hou Xiaohai sheepishly.

Lu Youxi thought to herself that this guy was quite honest to admit that.

"So, that’s what it was. Don’t worry about it, you didn’t know," Lu Youxi laughed, "Also, if you hadn’t said anything, I wouldn’t have known that you were flirting with me."

Hou Xiaohai: "..."

Had he known, he wouldn’t have mentioned it.

"I should get going then," Hou Xiaohai quickly said.

Afraid of making more errors the more he spoke in front of Lu Youxi.

"There’s another thing I need your help with," Lu Youxi added.

"Please tell me."

"Don’t mention to Zhou Shuyan that you met me today and recognized me," Lu Youxi instructed.

Seeing the puzzled look on Hou Xiaohai’s face, Lu Youxi casually fabricated a reason, "He gets jealous easily."

With that explanation, Hou Xiaohai instantly understood.

The CEO being easily jealous was something he was all too aware of.

The CEO’s wife was truly kind-hearted, probably worried that the CEO would find out and make things difficult for him, so she warned him not to tell the CEO.

"I won’t say a word," Hou Xiaohai hurriedly said.

Lu Youxi wasn’t sure how Hou Xiaohai interpreted her words, but he sounded genuinely sincere.

It was clear from his demeanor that he would definitely keep the secret.

Moreover, the way he looked at her was filled with respect, as if she was some great benefactor.

However, she was surprised how easily Hou Xiaohai believed the excuse she had just made up on the spot.

After Hou Xiaohai left, Lu Youxi returned to the R&D department.

Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi were still not done, so Lu Youxi took out her laptop, connected to the Chengzhou network, and started searching for information about the CEO of Chengzhou Group.

There was very little information about Zhou Shuyan online.

Lu Youxi only found out that the CEO of Chengzhou Group was named Zhou Shuyan.

There was no information about his age or photos.

There were only brief mentions that the CEO of Chengzhou Group was talented, young, and promising.

Also, whenever Chengzhou launched a new product, it always made the news.

Occasionally, there were some introductions by Zhou Shuyan about the new products and Chengzhou’s plans for the next phase.

But these were text interviews and did not include any photos of Zhou Shuyan.

Lu Youxi remembered an incident when Zhou Shuyan’s dinner party almost turned into a matchmaking session arranged by a client, and she had to go pick him up.

Shen Yanqing was also there at that time.

Now, Lu Youxi couldn’t help but recall that when she, along with Ji Deyi and Pei Jingyuan, brought the Little Pink Book to attend the Chengzhou support program interview, Shen Yanqing saw her and had a significant reaction.

At the time, Lu Youxi didn’t think much of it, assuming Shen Yanqing was just surprised to see someone he recognized as Zhou Shuyan.

Now, she realized that Shen Yanqing did indeed know Zhou Shuyan, and his surprise was because of Zhou Shuyan.

But it wasn’t because he saw a colleague’s wife coming to the company to discuss a collaboration.

It was because he saw his boss’s wife coming to discuss a collaboration.

Thinking of Shen Yanqing, Lu Youxi looked up and around but didn’t see him.

It seemed like from the moment she arrived at Chengzhou today, she hadn’t seen Shen Yanqing.

Lu Youxi got up to check on Pei Jingyuan and others, and Shen Yanqing wasn’t there either.

Seeing Lu Youxi looking around, a Chengzhou colleague approached and asked, "President Lu, is there something you need?"

"Ah, is Manager Shen not here today?" Lu Youxi inquired.

"Oh, Manager Shen is on a business trip," the colleague explained with a smile.

Lu Youxi nodded, thinking it was indeed unfortunate.

After thanking the colleague, Lu Youxi thought for a moment and then took out her phone to send a message to Zhou Shuyan.

Lu Youxi: "I’m at Chengzhou, it seems Pei Jingyuan and his team will be busy here for a long time, and I probably won’t make it back for lunch. Do you want to have lunch together?"

Zhou Shuyan felt guilty for quite a while after receiving the message.

He hesitated, wondering whether to pretend he hadn’t seen it and reply in the afternoon, saying he had been busy and just saw the message?

But that felt like something a jerk would do.

After some consideration, Zhou Shuyan replied, "You went to Chengzhou? It’s really unfortunate, I’m out managing some affairs and afraid I won’t make it back for lunch."

Ordinarily, Lu Youxi wouldn’t find anything wrong with this response.

But today, no matter how she looked at it, it made her angry.

Fuming, she replied, "No worries, I visit Chengzhou quite often; we’ll definitely have a chance to have a meal together soon."

Zhou Shuyan looked at Lu Youxi’s response and felt there was something off, but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what.

Lu Youxi didn’t probe further and calmly waited for Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi to finish their work, then took the interns back to their company.

However, when Zhou Shuyan contacted her in the afternoon to arrange dinner together, Lu Youxi used the excuse of having a lot of coursework to complete and turned Zhou Shuyan down.

Usually, since Lu Youxi was living on campus, they couldn’t meet every day, so Zhou Shuyan didn’t notice anything unusual.

That night, sitting on her bed in the dormitory, leaning against the pillow, staring at her phone, she wanted to ask Zhou Shuyan if he had been deceiving her.

But in the end, she never sent that message.

She thought back to the details of their times together, details she hadn’t noticed before, and remembered Zhou Shuyan’s exceptional demeanor.
