With Jiang Jingyu's words, Wen Ruxu felt motivated to do anything.
Taking him directly to school would save him from his parents' displeased looks!
Let alone acting with Xu Lei, a woman nearing 40, he felt he could be shameless even with an old lady nearing 80!
"You said it. Then I'll start preparing my plan. Don't go back on your word."
"I said it. You can take a screenshot if you don't believe me."
Jiang Jingyu smiled and sent her the message.
Lu Jiaying's dinner with Lu Kai the previous night had been quite pleasant.
Lu Kai was emotionally intelligent, humorous, and understood what girls liked.
Moreover, it was their first formal dinner together, and he behaved with propriety, appearing gentlemanly and polite. Lu Jiaying had a good impression of him.
Although they hadn't officially become a couple yet, it was clear that Lu Kai had such intentions.
He was texting Lu Jiaying, telling her he had ordered a bouquet of flowers to be delivered to her company shortly, asking her to sign for them and hoping she would have a good mood today.
Lu Jiaying hadn't expected to receive another bouquet of flowers today, just a day after seeing one off.
As a novice in romance, she was a little unable to accept such direct and passionate expressions and was about to tell Lu Kai not to do this again.
When she looked up, she saw Jiang Jingyu grinning happily at his computer screen, and she changed her mind.
Jiang Jingyu wasn't affected by that incident. Seeing his state, he had almost moved past it. Why should she continue to constrain herself with that matter?
She was an orphan with no parents or relatives, and she couldn't possibly remain unmarried her entire life. Since Lu Kai was decent, she really should try to get to know him.
"Thank you, you've spent too much."
Lu Kai sent a speechless emoji, indicating that she didn't need to be so polite. Lu Jiaying wasn't good at joking with people online and didn't know how to reply.
Just then, the receptionist sent Jiang Jingyu a message on the internal software.
"Xiao Jiang, someone has come to deliver flowers for President Lu again. Should I sign for them?"
Jiang Jingyu frowned and looked up at Lu Jiaying.
He noticed she was engrossed in her phone, seemingly chatting with someone.
His good mood vanished instantly.
Normally, Lu Jiaying was very serious about her work and never handled personal matters during work hours.
Had this Lu Kai, who had only appeared for a day, already broken her principles?
He stood up and walked over to Lu Jiaying.
"President Lu. What are you looking at so intently? I called you several times, but you didn't hear me."
Lu Jiaying came back to her senses, put down her phone, and locked the screen.
"You called me? Sorry, I really didn't hear you. Is there something you need?"
"Someone sent you flowers again. You're quite popular lately. Is that person still pestering you?"
He was referring to Lawyer Gu.
Lu Jiaying shook her head. "What popularity? You know Lu Kai, don't you? Tell the receptionist to sign for it and put it aside. I'll get it after work."
"What? Are you two hitting it off? Lawyer Gu's flowers are to be thrown in the trash, but you're going to pick up his? Have you taken a liking to him?"
As a subordinate, speaking to his superior like this was somewhat presumptuous.
Lu Jiaying gave him a sideways glance.
"Do I need to report my affairs to you? Why are you asking so many details? Is your work done? If you have nothing to do, I can assign you more."
Jiang Jingyu acted as if he hadn't heard her, pulled out a chair, and sat opposite her.
"I'm telling you seriously, Lu Kai isn't suitable for you, haven't you realized? I don't care who you go on blind dates with, but with him, it's a pure waste of time!"
His expression was too serious, and Lu Jiaying couldn't tell if it stemmed from sincerity or ulterior motives.
"Do you have any past grievances with Lu Kai?"
Jiang Jingyu scoffed. "No, I'm purely stating facts. I wouldn't have any grievances with someone like him. He's not worthy of being my friend."
Lu Jiaying looked away again.
"Indeed. Many people want to be friends with the great young master Zhan, so you don't lack friends. But there's no need to speak so disparagingly of others."
Jiang Jingyu opened his mouth to retort, but she stopped him.
"Although the company is yours, it's work hours now. It's not appropriate for us to discuss this. Let's not talk about it."
Jiang Jingyu looked at her expressionless face, stood up unhappily, and pushed the chair back to her forcefully.
"Fine, we won't talk about it then!"
As if he cared to talk about it.
If you like wasting time, then waste it. You'll realize one day that you two aren't compatible.
The morning passed quickly. As it approached closing time, Jiang Jingyu found out that Xu Lei was going to have dinner with a female leader at a restaurant near the company and sent a message to Wen Ruxu.
Wen Ruxu went ahead to lie in wait.
Jiang Jingyu followed Xu Lei and the woman from a not-too-close distance and also went to the same restaurant.
After being seated, Jiang Jingyu chose a spot diagonally behind Xu Lei, making it convenient to observe her every move.
As they ordered their food and sat down to chat, a waiter suddenly brought over two cups of coffee.
"Excuse me, ladies. Sorry to interrupt, but this coffee was ordered by the gentleman at table number five for you."
The waiter spoke while looking at Xu Lei's face. Xu Lei looked confused, turned to look at Wen Ruxu's table, and saw a very young and handsome young man, dressed very stylishly.
She looked incredulous.
"The gentleman at table five sent me coffee? Are you sure there's no mistake?"
The waiter nodded and brought the coffee to them.
"That's correct. The gentleman also left you a note. Please take a look."
Then the waiter left.
No one knew what Wen Ruxu had written on the note, but Xu Lei's expression clearly showed joy mixed with a hint of shyness.
The woman opposite also saw Wen Ruxu and couldn't help but lean forward curiously to ask her.
"What's going on? That kid looks quite young. Why is he sending you coffee for no reason? Are you sure you don't know him?"
"I don't know him." Xu Lei proudly placed the note on the table and pushed it over to the woman.
"Take a look."
The woman took it, looked for two seconds, and then burst out laughing.
"Well done, Director Xu. Your charm is as strong as ever. After being married for so many years, you can still be the object of a young stud's instant affection. Your husband, Yang, should feel a sense of crisis."
Xu Lei smugly picked up the coffee, took a sip, and then glanced at Wen Ruxu.
"Don't be silly. Young people nowadays are very complex. Who knows what he's after. Besides, I'm married. Am I that unchaste?"
"That's true. Young people nowadays will do anything to take shortcuts. Do you think he wants to apply to our company?"
"I don't know. We'll see."
As they whispered their discussions, the waiter brought their food.
Halfway through the meal, a sound suddenly came from Wen Ruxu's side.
He half-rose, waved his arm towards the entrance, and two equally young and handsome young men walked in.
He alone was enough to attract attention, and with two more suddenly joining him, the three of them sitting together exuded so much youthful energy.
The magnetic voices unique to young men, extremely pleasant to hear, echoed in the quiet restaurant.
The key point was that they were discussing luxury cars and watches.
