Mr. Lu's delicate bag

Chapter 95 Creating a romantic atmosphere

Shen Jiaojiao opened the glass door and turned around again, "Oh, by the way, what kind of cooperation do you want to discuss with me today?"

They asked knowingly, and both of them knew in their hearts that Chu Xia was not here to discuss taking photos with internet celebrities or checking in. They really didn't need to meet in person to discuss such things.

But Chu Xia wasn't panicking. She was a master at evading the issue, answering in an orderly manner while also offering a sidebar. "I've taken a look at your place, and some of the work is DIY. That means they don't need the store's makeup artists or photographers, relying entirely on their own, only borrowing your costumes, backgrounds, and props... For a client like this to have such a hassle taking photos, I imagine they're short on cash... Ms. Shen, isn't your store's target audience a little too low?"

Seeing that the other party was obviously sarcastic, Shen Jiaojiao turned around without any rebuttal, and just said, "So, Miss Chu Xia, you came here specially, are you going to give any advice?"

Chu Xia was about to continue commenting or criticizing, but then she realized that this person seemed to be listening attentively. Wouldn't that be letting her get away with her own ideas? The more she talked, the more she would help the other person, right?

She immediately shut up. Why should I teach her how to do business? If she doesn't know how to do business, then she will lose money. Why should I bother to teach her?

Chu Xia pursed her lips, and Shen Jiaojiao took the opportunity to say, "What's wrong? Since you see that I really want to hear advice, and you think my business is doing well, why don't you comment on it?"

Miss Chu, it’s getting late. If there’s nothing else, we can talk again next time we have a chance.”

After separating from Chu Xia, Shen Jiaojiao did not go home immediately, but went up to the 4th floor. The top floor was carefully insulated and air-conditioned, so it was still bearable. She put two pairs of soothing patches on her cheeks, lay on her back, and took the studio's account book to look at it.

About half an hour later, Aunt Xue brought in a fruit platter she had made herself, "Miss, are you okay?"

Shen Jiaojiao shook her head, stood up, yawned, and stood by the window, "Aunt Xue, please help me reserve a table. I suddenly feel like drinking beef bone soup at noon today."

Aunt Xue nodded, and after receiving the order, she hurried out to make a phone call.

When Lu Shize was having lunch, he saw Special Assistant Chen scalding his bowl, spoon and chopsticks with hot water. Just as he was about to pick up the chopsticks, Special Assistant Chen hurriedly held him back and said, "Hey, sir, wait a moment."

Lu Shize looked at him suspiciously, only to see him take out his cell phone and take a photo of their work meal from above, acting very seriously.

"what happened?"

Special Assistant Chen quickly shook his head, took the photo, and then quickly handed the chopsticks respectfully to his boss.

In the evening, there was a dinner party. As soon as everyone sat down, Assistant Chen took out his mobile phone and silently took pictures of the first two plates of snacks served on the table.

Others didn't notice it much, but Lu Shize saw it. When the dinner was over and Assistant Chen was taking him back to the room with the door card, just as Assistant Chen was about to open his phone and take a picture of the tea on the coffee table, he held his hand.

He glanced at Special Assistant Chen's phone and silently asked why he was acting so abnormally today and what he was doing.

Special Assistant Chen laughed awkwardly and said quickly, "Well, let me take a picture first." Right under the man's nose, he took another picture, then clicked and opened the dialog box with Shen Jiaojiao and showed it to Lu Shize.

"Sir, you don't know that I have to report to the young lady... Before lunch, I received a call from her. She said she was very busy recently and asked me to take pictures of everything you eat and drink every day.

It's not necessary to photograph everything. I was just asked to do everything within my ability besides my original work." For example, at dinner, when a lot of people were there, it wasn't suitable for an assistant like me to take pictures of all the dishes. So, while everyone else was not there and not paying attention to me, he only took a picture of the appetizer.

Seeing that there were already several photos sent to Chen Special Assistant and Shen Jiaojiao in the chat box, Lu Shize asked, "Why?"

Special Assistant Chen was about to explain when he remembered something and quickly sent a photo of himself. The other party immediately replied with a voice message, which he clicked on.

"Thank you, Special Assistant Chen, you've worked hard. Look, this dish is a bit spicy. Is my uncle enjoying it? I hope he won't get acne?" This was Shen Jiaojiao's clear and pleasant voice.

Suddenly, there was another reply on the phone. It was from Shen Jiaojiao who had just sent a photo of the tea. Lu Shize simply took Chen's phone and pressed it directly. He heard Shen Jiaojiao's gentle voice again, "The tea is very good. Thank you, Special Assistant Chen, for sending it to me. It's the tea my uncle likes to drink."

The tone was full of joy. Lu Shize couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly when listening to it. However, when he met the assistant's gaze, the man quickly suppressed it.

During the next few days of the business trip, Lu Shize cooperated with almost everything Assistant Chen wanted to shoot. Sometimes, they ordered a few bowls of mushroom and game soup as a midnight snack. Assistant Chen picked up his phone, and his posture showed that he was ready to take a photo. Lu Shize would also help to position it, making sure that the lights were on.

After Special Assistant Chen finished reporting to Shen Jiaojiao, he couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that the young lady is very different... She cares about you very much."

After the photo was sent, Lu Shize kept staring at the dialog box in Chen's phone. As soon as the voice message came, he quickly took the phone from Chen's assistant.

He stood up, clicked on the voice message, and put it close to his ear to listen.

"Seeing you guys drinking this, when my uncle comes back, I want to drink it with you too."

Lu Shize took out his phone and replied directly with two words, "OK."

When Shen Jiaojiao saw the reply from the other side and the tone, she guessed that it was Lu Shize, so she immediately sat up from lying on the bed... It really worked.

Chu Xia was smart because she taught herself that she had to get people around her to join in the fun, care, and talk about things, so as to create an atmosphere that would strengthen various psychological cues.

Shen Jiaojiao felt that she was very smart and could apply what she had learned. In the past few days, Shen Jiaojiao and Lu Shize still reported to each other, but the information was still as simple as before. But the difference was that she began to ask about Lu Shize's situation with the driver who had traveled with her in the past and Assistant Chen.

In the past few days, the driver also helped to send a few photos from time to time, reporting where they went today and what kind of scenery they saw...

This is exactly the kind of atmosphere she wants. Shen Jiaojiao happily looked at the word "OK" sent by the man.

At night, after briefly reporting to Shen Jiaojiao, the man sent another message, "Go to bed early. You're tired from military training and busy with things at the store. If you want to study, read less of those papers."

"Okay," Shen Jiaojiao replied simply, then threw away her phone. She was applying her facial mask, continuing to listen to light music with her eyes closed...she felt a little happy.

He must also want to talk to me more, right? There was an extra message tonight.

After taking a shower, Lu Shize picked up his phone and opened the chat box between the two of them. After thinking for a while, he contacted Assistant Chen and asked him to take a screenshot of the conversation between you and Jiaojiao.

The other party immediately agreed, not only taking screenshots as requested, but also forwarding some conversations directly.

After everything was done, Special Assistant Chen looked at his phone and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind... Why does it feel like the young lady and the gentleman are in love?

Lu Shize looked at the chat history sent over and silently wrote down what Shen Jiaojiao had said: she wanted to eat a soup made from a certain flower, and also wanted to taste the peach blossom wine brewed this year... At this moment, a call came in. It was from his good friend Han Shuda.

Lu Shize immediately opened the phone and picked up the call, "Hello..."

Han Shuda chatted with him about a recent project, and then talked about family matters, "Hey, your Jiaojiao hasn't chatted with you for a long time, right?"

"Ok?"

Han Shuda asked with a smile, "Are you still pretending? The little girl called me today and thanked me again for bringing her the shower head last time. Then, she asked me if the negotiation for her uncle's business trip went smoothly.

What's going on? Are you crazy staying out in the wild? Why don't you tell your family about it?"

Lu Shize frowned slightly. He clearly told Shen Jiaojiao every night how far the negotiations had progressed... "I told her, everything is going well."

"Right? That's because... the kid is worried about you... You, every time you speak, don't save words, understand? It makes the kid feel uneasy. When he asks me, that voice... Anyway, Jiaojiao is much more sensible now. You should talk to her more. She likes to stick to you. But you moved out and are busy with work... and now you haven't been back for so many days.

She's been busy all day and is still worried about you."

His friend spoke a few more words earnestly, and Lu Shize nodded, "Okay, I understand."

"Do you really know or are you just pretending to know? When you contact people, please, say more.

Oh, by the way, she also asked me, "How are you doing? Have you lost weight? Do you have any acne on your face?" When I asked, I realized that she hadn't seen you for several days... No, you two don't video chat? Is it because your phones are special and don't have video function?"

Lu Shize had indeed wanted to video chat with Shen Jiaojiao many times. He missed her too. The little girl had military training every day and must be very sunburned and hot. He wanted to see her, just wanted to see her act coquettishly with him, or even complain... The little girl would look at him eagerly... But after all, he always felt that if the two of them video chatted every day and every night, it seemed too much.

Lu Shize couldn't sleep that night. Under every photo sent by the assistant gang, there was Shen Jiaojiao's excited reply... and between the words of his friends, there was Shen Jiaojiao's worry.

He went straight out the door. The resort project he came to see on this business trip was in the mountains. There was a gentle waterfall next to the accommodation. The sound was a bit loud at this moment, so the man went downstairs and sat on the wooden bench in the large square.

The wind was cool at night, the moonlight was hazy, and there were some insects chirping around. He brought out a pack of cigarettes, took out one of them, lit it, and without smoking, he held it between his fingers... He listened to the sound of the waterfall and thought of her.

After the ashes fell into a pile, the man took a look, took a puff, and put it out directly...

Things didn't go smoothly, and Lu Shize was delayed for two more days before returning to the city. As soon as he came out of the airport and the driver stepped on the accelerator, the man immediately said, "Go to XX University."

He wanted to see her, very much!

It was a little spicy, but I didn’t break out, so I showed it to her to reassure her.

I haven't seen them for 9 days... The kids must be exhausted from the military training... On the way, I asked Assistant Chen to buy a lot of things, and the trunk was full. When we arrived at the school gate, Assistant Chen called driver Qi, and the car over there happened to be waiting at the school. After the two sides met, they moved all the things in the trunk into Shen Jiaojiao's car.

Everything was done. Special Assistant Chen received another message from Lu Shize. He quickly ordered a cup of milk tea for Shen Jiaojiao in advance and noted the license plate of the car driven by Driver Qi. Then he got into the car and reported quickly, "Sir, Lao Qi said that according to the usual time, the lady will be out in about 10 minutes."

Lu Shize nodded, remembered something, and called driver Qi directly.

As soon as driver Qi picked up the phone, the man just said, "Just say that the things were sent by Special Assistant Chen. Don't tell me, I'm here."

Driver Qi didn't quite understand, and even Special Assistant Chen and the driver in the car didn't understand... But Qi still nodded and replied, "I understand, sir, don't worry."

Lu Shize hung up the phone and asked the driver to find a new parking spot, which was even further away from the school gate than before... After waiting for ten minutes, Shen Jiaojiao, who had just washed up, finally walked out of the school gate. She was wearing a wide-brimmed hat on her head and carrying a bag on her back. Her hair on both sides should not have been completely dry yet, as it was only tied into two loose low ponytails. She was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans. Aunt Xue was beside her, carefully helping her hold a pink plastic umbrella...

The man watched from afar. The little girl looked so small, especially in front of the business car. He watched her get in the car. The car didn't drive away. It must be because driver Qi said to wait for milk tea. Sure enough, a few minutes later, the milk tea was delivered.

Lu Shize watched Shen Jiaojiao slide down the car window, took the milk tea, and said thank you to the delivery man...

Only after the car window slid up again and the car drove away did the man look away.

This can be considered as seeing it.

The driver and Chen's assistant just watched Shen Jiaojiao leave, not even noticing the boss had been there...

"Go home," the man fastened his seat belt.

"...Yes, sir," the driver and the special assistant didn't dare to ask more questions... It was obvious that he missed her very much, so was he just going to look at her from a distance like this?
