A wealthy family recognizes my relatives? But I am already a billionaire.

Lu Jingyao's ears turned slightly red. He obviously liked the term "fate" very much.

But Xu Youyou only felt it was troublesome, and her mind was full of how she should explain to her acquaintances why she chose to stay in a hotel instead of living in a house in Shanghai, and why they had just parted ways unpleasantly yesterday, and she had accepted the other party's expensive jewelry. Now she was so embarrassed that she wished she could cut off the three-bedroom apartment with her toes.

As an all-around assistant, Assistant Liu would not embarrass either his boss or Xu Youyou, so he took the initiative to ask, "Ms. Xu, are you also here to attend the International Semiconductor Exchange Conference?"

Xu Youyou nodded immediately.

Lu Jingyao asked, "Why didn't you bring your conference pass?"

Xu Youyou then noticed that Assistant Liu had a pass hanging around his neck, but she didn't have one at all. She didn't want to look weak, so she looked at Lu Jingyao's empty neck and said, "You don't have one either."

"I'll use facial recognition." Lu Jingyao said.

Xu Youyou remembered that the Lu family seemed to be in the semiconductor business as well, and guessed that this meeting might be inextricably linked to the Lu family, secretly cursing the privileged class in her heart.

Before she could speak, Assistant Liu took the initiative to suggest: "It doesn't matter if Miss Xu forgot to bring it. You can enter with us. With President Lu here, no one will check your pass."

Assistant Liu didn't care at all whether Xu Youyou had sneaked in. Compared with the safety of this meeting, it was obviously more cost-effective to be a love security guard for his own president.

Xu Youyou looked at Lu Jingyao with a questioning look.

Lu Jingyao swallowed what he was about to say after Assistant Liu's warning, which was like killing a chicken and wiping its neck. He said instead, "If you want, you can come in with me."

Xu Youyou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Lu."

Assistant Liu reminded her at the right moment, "Ms. Xu, the meeting is about to begin. Would you like to ask the housekeeper to take care of your luggage?"

Xu Youyou didn't even have time to take a look at what the presidential suite she booked looked like before she was urged to get back into the elevator with Lu Jingyao and his group.

Lu Jingyao's five entourages and Xu Youyou's four bodyguards all entered one elevator, instantly making the spacious elevator seem very crowded.

The others kept their duties and did not speak.

Xu Youyou didn't know what to say to Lu Jingyao. After all, she couldn't ask, "Do you remember how I scolded you yesterday?"

Lu Jingyao did not hold a grudge. He was racking his brains to think of words to strike up a conversation.

"You are also interested in semiconductors?" Lu Jingyao said.

Assistant Liu behind him couldn't help but raise his right hand and cover his forehead in pain.

Xu Youyou turned around. She felt that Lu Jingyao was being sarcastic. "Why can't I be interested in semiconductors? Just because I'm a girl?"

When Lu Jingyao heard this offensive answer, he immediately realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, but he still tried to explain: "I thought you were only interested in porcelain, and I didn't mean to attack your gender."

Seeing his sincere tone, Xu Youyou relaxed a little and said casually, "It's cutting-edge technology. I also want to study it."

Lu Jingyao frowned slightly and said seriously, "Many people think that semiconductors are cutting-edge technologies, but I don't think that's accurate..."

"Cough cough!"

Assistant Liu's sudden cough interrupted Lu Jingyao's long speech.

Lu Jingyao's eyes flickered slightly, and he abruptly changed his words, saying, "In layman's terms, semiconductors are indeed one of the cutting-edge technologies."

When the other people accompanying Lu Jingyao heard this, they couldn't help but stare wide-eyed. They looked at their CEO with strange eyes, almost suspecting that Lu Jingyao had been replaced. Their CEO always kept his word, so how could he change his mind? Isn't this contradicting himself?

The elevator stops at the floor where the exchange conference is held.

Lu Jingyao slightly turned sideways, motioning Xu Youyou to go first.

At the entrance of the conference, Assistant Liu and others entered with passes. Lu Jingyao walked in with Xu Youyou in a swagger, and no one stopped them at all.

Even the four bodyguards behind Xu Youyou passed through security check and entered the main venue at Lu Jingyao's signal.

"Ms. Xu, the Lu family is the sponsor and organizer of this exchange conference." Assistant Liu whispered to explain where Lu Jingyao's privileges came from.

Xu Youyou thought about the large venue and the food and lodging for so many participants. It might seem insignificant, but when added up, it would form a sky-high bill. She sighed in a low voice that the Lu family was rich.

"Mr. Lu, you are finally here!"

"Mr. Lu, do you still remember me? Our company has cooperated with Lu's before..."

As soon as Lu Jingyao showed up, many people gathered around him.

The experienced Assistant Liu skillfully blocked these people away: "Sorry, let's talk after the meeting. President Lu has other things to do."

Lu Jingyao took Xu Youyou to the front row of the meeting, but when he turned around, he saw that Xu Youyou did not follow.

"What's wrong?" Lu Jingyao asked.

Xu Youyou had already successfully sneaked in, and felt that she no longer needed Lu Jingyao, so she said, "I'll just find a place to sit, you don't have to worry about me."

Lu Jingyao frowned slightly and said, "The front row gives you a closer look and is also more convenient for you to communicate with some industry veterans. We've also got a member of the National Academy of Engineering here this time, so I can seat you closer to him."

Xu Youyou had no intention of discussing semiconductors with anyone. After all, she was there to find a buyer for the files on the memory card.

"I'm just a half-baked person, so I'd better not waste the time of the academician." Xu Youyou declined.

Lu Jingyao, however, acted as if it was for her own good: "It's okay, Academician Chen is approachable and won't care about such trivial matters."

Xu Youyou couldn't find a reason to refuse, so Lu Jingyao took her to a seat on the side of the front row.

"Mr. Lu!"

The name with a strong colonel accent rang in Xu Youyou's ears.

Xu Youyou turned her head and saw two men in neat suits standing up from a position not far from Xu Youyou and greeting Lu Jingyao.

Lu Jingyao nodded at them.

Of the two men, the older one seemed to want to say something, but then he glanced at the young man behind him with disappointment, and ultimately did not speak much to Lu Jingyao.

Lu Jingyao has a lot of things to deal with, and some staff have already asked him to handle something.

Xu Youyou waved her hand and let him go, then turned around and looked around. Many foreigners came to this International Semiconductor Exchange Conference, and Xu Youyou saw many people with obviously foreign faces.

Suddenly, she heard a burst of rapid bird calls. She turned around and saw that the person speaking was the old man who had just greeted Lu Jingyao.

The old man spoke in a low voice but very quickly, and his face was visibly angry.

The young man who was scolded by him was wearing a suit and tie, but his tie was extremely fancy. At this time, he bowed 90 degrees towards the elderly man, and the apology on his face was almost overflowing.

Unfortunately, Xu Youyou couldn't understand the bird language. She vaguely felt that they seemed to be speaking Japanese, but she didn't know what they were saying.

Yasuda Kagesa, who was surrounded by Xu Youyou, was furious and scolded his grandson Yasuda Jiro: "Why did you put such an important thing in a lady's bag? And you lost it? You really should commit seppuku to apologize!"
