Mr. Lu's delicate bag

Chapter 146 Font Changes

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long. It was already dark. Shen Jiaojiao arrived at the reserved box first. Not long after, Lu Shize came in and saw that only Shen Jiaojiao and Aunt Xue were in the box. His mother had not arrived yet, so he walked to the side hall and Shen Jiaojiao followed him.

The man looked away, and Special Assistant Chen hurriedly handed the tablet over. Lu Shize took it, looking like he was working seriously. When the aunt, bodyguard, and assistant were all out and only the two of them were left, Shen Jiaojiao stood up and prepared to move towards him.

"Just sit there."

"you···"

Shen Jiaojiao held her breath and could only sit back in her seat obediently. She hadn't seen him for many days, but this man saw her as soon as he entered the door, just one glance, and then never looked at her again.

"Uncle, are you really not afraid that I really like someone else?"

"You can change someone else. Gu Sheng is not suitable."

Shen Jiaojiao was about to open her mouth again, but Lu Shize changed the subject, "Is there anything you want to talk to me about work recently?"

Well, as long as you don't ask him for love, you can get everything...

"Oh, I'm going to Shengxia Building later. They have several group broadcasts today. There's a competition going on. I might not remember the exact name."

"Ok".

"Then... Cai Xingyao arrived at the building at around 9 o'clock."

"He's going to be the award presenter?"

Shen Jiaojiao had actually stood up and sat over, but she no longer looked at Lu Shize with such an ambiguous look in her eyes. She just continued the topic, "No. The group broadcast award ceremony is not like our traditional award ceremony... The winner depends on how much money their fans spend and how they build their own towers. It's hard to say when it will end. At most, it will last too long until the second half of the night, so they may add conditions for passing the microphone to speed up the scoring."

"But it still depends on how long the other guy fights. If he can't throw any more money at it, and there's only one left, then he'll be the champion, right?"

"Well, so... Cai Xingyao is just going to be a surprise guest. Moreover, the various platforms announced today that they didn't specify in which live broadcast room the outstanding graduate Cai Xingyao will appear, so... many of his fans just take turns to watch the several group broadcast accounts.

That’s why those people are thinking of using Cai Xingyao to attract traffic.”

Lu Shize took the tablet handed to him by Shen Jiaojiao. On it were the competitions held in Shengxia’s various live broadcast rooms last month... and the corresponding points accumulated by each anchor.

"...Chu Xia will go tonight too?"

Shen Jiaojiao shook her head. "I don't know. I contacted Manager Zhao Yi from the group broadcasting department."

The monthly turnover looks pretty good. Usually the monthly competition is arranged in the last few days of the month. According to this arrangement, today is Christmas Eve, and the game is played on the 24th. I guess they deliberately left the last few days so that they can have an annual game at the end of December.

Therefore, Lu Shize guessed that if Chu Xia had nothing special to do, she would go and take a look tonight.

"There were several sneak shots and they were deliberately posted online for fermentation. The person behind these things has been found to be Chu Xia."

"what?!"

Shen Jiaojiao was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed reasonable...

"However, we haven't completely fallen out, and we are still cooperating on some projects."

Lu Shize handed her tablet back to her and said, "When you meet Cai Xingyao, you can talk to him privately. You both have WeChat accounts, but don't let anyone deliberately take pictures of you."

"I understand. He is a popular idol, and I absolutely cannot be in the same frame with him. I will definitely be scolded to death."

No wonder the uncle asked himself whether Chu Xia wanted to go, and told him that Chu Xia was the one who caused all kinds of trouble. In other words, tonight was not just about gaining knowledge... but he had to be extremely alert and avoid suspicion with Cai Xingyao, especially he had to be on guard against Chu Xia who might take advantage of the situation and make a big deal out of nothing.

Shen Jiaojiao exited the tablet and looked up at Lu Shize.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Shen Jiaojiao nodded.

One second ago, he had the feeling of a cold-faced manager in the workplace, but now, the clingy energy of a child came back...

"I just want to tell you and scare you."

"you···".

Lu Shize pressed the corners of his lips and held back his smile. He had already heard the sound of the door opening outside, so he stood up and said, "Time to eat."

"Bad guy," Shen Jiaojiao complained.

“Being afraid is a good thing.

When you are afraid, that is when you are at your strongest.”

Shen Jiaojiao was pondering the meaning of his words, while the people outside were already warmly welcoming Madam Lu in.

The old man's hearty laughter came, "Jiaojiao, have you been waiting for a long time?"

After we were seated, the dishes were served. This was a rare family gathering, and except for the three people in the family, all the other waiters left the private room.

Shen Jiaojiao ate a piece of pork ribs and glanced at Lu Shize. The man looked good in a coat. He took off the coat and hung it on the hanger behind him. The white sweater made him look even more gentle and warm.

"Oh, by the way, uncle, do you have any friends who are younger than you and older than me?"

Just by hearing this, Lu Shize guessed what the little girl was going to talk about deliberately, such as introducing her to a boyfriend, so he said in a muffled voice, "No."

Mother Lu didn't know what he meant, so she slapped him with her left hand. "Hey Jiaojiao, I'm asking you a question. What do you mean you don't have? Answer it properly. How could someone older than her and younger than you not have it?"

Shen Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows and looked at the man proudly. The man looked at her sullenly and still answered with two words, "No."

Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly looked at Grandma Lu, "Grandma, look at my uncle, look at him..."

"Speak nicely," the old man felt that his son had not answered nicely twice in a row and was deliberately bullying the little spoiled brat.

Lu Shize put down his chopsticks and asked, "Why are you asking?"

Shen Jiaojiao also put down her chopsticks. "What can I do? Could it be that my uncle has guessed what I am going to do? Do you think I want you to introduce me to someone and then have a relationship?"

"Cough cough" Grandma Lu had just put half a spoonful of soup into her throat, and when she heard this, she choked.

Shen Jiaojiao quickly stood up and helped pat her back. Lu Shize also handed her some water. "Mom, please go slowly..."

The old man took a deep breath and looked up at Shen Jiaojiao, "No, Jiaojiao, you mean..."

Lu Shize had already told his mother the whole story, so he quickly interrupted, "Mom."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded quickly, sat down, and moved the chair closer to Grandma Lu, "Uncle may have thought wrongly, I don't want him to introduce me... Why must I ask boys? I could also ask girls...Uncle, do you have any friends who are younger than you but older than me? Do you think it's okay..."

"cannot".

"Grandma, look!"

Mother Lu looked at her son... Perhaps, these were the only times in all these years that she felt her son was childish.

She didn't say anything and just watched them playfully.

Basically, Lu Shize had a cold face and uttered one or two words every now and then, while the other one was like a kitten with its fur standing on end, humming for a long time. Finally, the topic ended with Shen Jiaojiao saying, "Oh, I see. You still have to check my homework!"

The man hadn't checked her homework for a long time, and she had forgotten about it.

Why didn't she remember to put her schoolbag in the car? Why did she bring it into the compartment? Just now, she chased her to the side hall, and Aunt Xue even carried it to the side hall.

After dinner, Lu Shize looked at her notes. Shen Jiaojiao followed Grandma Lu to the side hall with a guilty conscience and was eating some fruit.

When the man asked her questions, she stood up and lowered her head obediently.

"Why is your handwriting so flamboyant?"

"Hehe, it's just a bit sloppy."

Lu Shize frowned, as if thinking about something, and walked over with a notebook. Shen Jiaojiao quickly picked up the thick cushion and sat on the other side of her grandmother.

The man placed the notebooks one by one on the coffee table. "Hey... since November 11th, the writing has been getting faster and faster. What happened?"

"Just, I suddenly wanted to write some cursive script."

"But, this is not cursive."

"Why not? A calligrapher's cursive script is cursive script, and my Shen Jiaojiao's cursive script is also cursive script."

The man checked a few wrong steps and circled them lightly with a pencil, saying, "The error rate is also high."

Shen Jiaojiao was speechless this time. The man flipped through the pages again. "Not only this, but also this question. You did it right, but you skipped steps. If it were a small question, I wouldn't care, but this is a big question. Each step is worth one point. Do you have to follow this?"

Shen Jiaojiao didn't respond, and then just fed her grandmother with the fruit. After feeding her for several times, she finally heard the man say another word, "This word! Why did you suddenly become like this?"

He could even accept that she wrote quickly and sloppily, but when he turned to a certain page, the words suddenly became almost twisted, with a few scattered dots and horizontal and vertical lines on them.

Shen Jiaojiao fed the fruit to her grandmother, so she looked at her grandmother with pitiful eyes, just wanting her to save her quickly.

Of course Grandma Lu understood and looked at Lu Shize, "Oh, why are you shouting? You scared me. Even Jiaojiao was scared by you. Her handwriting is pretty good, but a little sloppy." As she said that, she picked up the page that Lu Shize had turned to and was also shocked.

Isn’t this too sloppy?

It feels unreasonable to join in the discussion.

Shen Jiaojiao then scratched her head and told the truth, "Well...am I not the boss?

I was thinking, how could the boss's handwriting be in such neat regular script like mine?

So, I tried to... create my own cursive characters."

He took the notebook, flipped back two pages, and said to his grandmother, "Grandma, look, doesn't my handwriting look a bit like that of a particularly domineering boss?"

Then, he turned to the next page and said, "This word is very similar to the difficult-to-please boss who keeps struggling and still can't figure out what he wants."

Shen Jiaojiao was about to turn the page, but the notebook was taken away by the man. Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips, fearing that he would criticize her again.

However, the man flipped forward and then looked back, "Are you saying that each time it's different, you're imitating a different boss?"

Shen Jiaojiao nodded, "Yes... I always feel that doing business is a comprehensive endeavor.

You can't just know one, two, and three things, you also have to respect every sudden inspiration you have.

Writing seems like a trivial matter... but you know my old handwriting, right? Doesn't it give me a particularly clear, foolish, and gullible feeling?

Grandma Lu also nodded and looked at her son, "I think Jiaojiao is right. She is an honest person. When she goes out to do business, she will encounter all kinds of monsters and ghosts, so it is good for her to practice fonts in different states."

Grandma must be taking care of the little one, and as she said this, she closed the several notebooks on the coffee table without a word.

This will prevent Lu Shize from finding out anything else.

After the dinner, Grandma Lu invited some friends to watch a puppet show on Christmas Eve, and then left by car, leaving only the two of them in front of the lobby.

"Uncle"

"Someone lied to you, didn't they?"

Shen Jiaojiao was unable to answer for a moment and just looked at the man. The man frowned and knew that just now in the box, she said that she gave people a clear, stupid and gullible feeling, which means... she was cheated during this period of business.

Moreover, I am hurt inside.

She must have trusted that person very much and never thought that person would lie to her, or lie to her in such a way that... She felt that it was unnecessary to lie to her like that...

Shen Jiaojiao felt like crying. Her uncle always understood her the best and guessed it right away.

Lu Shize looked at her softly, "You were cheated, and then, did you solve it?"

Shen Jiaojiao thought of He Li, the former manager of the milk tea shop, and nodded. She had already discovered the situation and fired her directly.

Lu Shize came over and gently adjusted her scarf. "Have you asked that person why he lied to you?"

"Why are you asking this? He's definitely not a good person!"

"Yeah, we already know that he's not a good person, so don't be sad.

Also, if you have the chance, you can talk to him. Maybe his reasons are valid. If you know his difficulties, you won’t feel upset about being deceived by him.

But maybe... it's because he was born bad and has bad intentions.

Whatever it is, if you haven't turned the page, go find it and ask again."

"No turning back?"

Lu Shize looked at her and wanted to raise his hand to touch her hair, just like before, to comfort her.

But his hand was raised in the air and then dropped silently.

"Either you have the ability to turn the page, or you pursue it to the end... otherwise, the internal friction will be too heavy."

Lu Shize left Special Assistant Chen with Shen Jiaojiao, and he said to Special Assistant Chen, "I might have to trouble you to work overtime tonight and stay with the young lady.

She is at Shengxia Building, and you should go there at the same time as she is staying there. Pay attention to Cai Xingyao so that no one can take pictures of them together. Also, pay attention to Chu Xia."

Special Assistant Chen nodded and took the gift that the old lady bought for the eldest lady.

Lu Shize opened the door, protected it with his hands, and watched the little guy sit in. "When you have time, can you tell me about the scam you suffered? I can help you..."

"Okay, uncle, then I'll go to Shengxia first... and study hard."
