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

"Jun kiln porcelain goes into the kiln in one color, but comes out in a myriad of colors. It is famous for its colorful kiln-fired effect."

"The color of the flowerpot is a naturally diffused rose purple, and the rim is shaped like a crabapple..."

"The basin is written on the Chonghua Palace. Chonghua Palace was originally the Qianxi Wusuo, the palace where Emperor Qianlong lived during his reign. After he ascended the throne, he renovated it and named it Chonghua Palace. He liked to hold important palace banquets in Chonghua Palace, such as the historically famous Sanqing Tea Banquet."

Xu Youyou felt like a ruthless tour guide.

But Lu Jingyao was the best listener, always looking at her with appreciation and admiration.

Xu Youyou felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him. When she ran out of things to say, she reluctantly asked, "Is there anything else you want to know?"

Lu Jingyao asked: "Can you tell me how you bought this flower pot?"

Of course Xu Youyou wouldn't talk about the system, she could only start with the story of the tomb robbers. The flower and bird market was very close to the police station, and she could only say that she went in for a stroll on a whim.

But she didn't expect that Lu Jingyao's main concern was the tomb robbers.

"You did a great job. When you found something was wrong, calm them down first and call the police after you left the village. This way it's safer." Lu Jingyao said.

Xu Youyou thought to herself, "Do you even need me to say that? She's not the kind of unlucky person who would be beaten half to death and thrown into the trash can."

The last time they met, they parted on bad terms. Last time, they were busy with a meeting. This time, Xu Youyou finally had time to ask, "Why were you thrown into the trash can when you were abroad?"

Lu Jingyao's face suddenly turned red and he coughed several times. This question made him so embarrassed that he didn't know where to start. He had reminded Xu Youyou to be careful several times when he was abroad, but he didn't expect that he would be the one to fail in the end.

"Is it inconvenient to say?" Xu Youyou asked.

Lu Jingyao nodded gently: "I don't want to talk about it."

Xu Youyou didn't bother to find out more, instead pointing at the flowerpot, she said, "I'm not going to take advantage of you. There was a similar flowerpot at the Hong Kong Spring Auction this year, and it sold for 10 million Hong Kong dollars. I want this one for 9 million."

Unlike Zeng Gong’s previous letter, this flowerpot was relatively cheap, and Xu Youyou didn’t intend to ask for something too fake.

Lu Jingyao shook his head. "It takes a lot of time to go to Hong Kong, and you may not be able to buy a beautiful one like this. It wasn't easy for you to buy this flowerpot. This one is also more beautiful than the one in Hong Kong. 20 million is the only way you can barely make ends meet."

Xu Youyou rarely saw such a counter-bargaining and shook her head: "Nine million will be enough. I'm not that short of money."

She took the Zhaoyi Star from someone else, and she still had tens of billions of transactions with the other party that had not been completed. She also received 100 million in compensation from Lu Jingyao abroad. Although she loved money, there was no need for her to cheat and deceive people like a fat sheep.

Lu Jingyao shook his head: "From a business perspective, this flowerpot is worth 20 million."

Xu Youyou shook her head and made the final decision: "Nine million. If you don't want to, I'll sell it to someone else."

Lu Jingyao wanted to continue persuading him, but Assistant Liu beside him suddenly winked at him frantically. Although he didn't understand why, he listened to the advice and didn't insist on raising the price.

After Xu Youyou finished her business, she immediately stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, she kindly said, "If you finish your business in Gansu Province, you can stay here for a few days. The scenery here is very special. It's hard to see such a landscape anywhere else."

Lu Jingyao came to Gansu Province purely for Xu Youyou. Since the real owner was no longer around, he felt there was nothing worth staying for.

But before he could tell the truth, Assistant Liu at the side took the initiative to say, "Ms. Xu, I'm worried about how to arrange Mr. Lu's trip, and I'd like to ask you for advice. I just wonder if you'd be willing to help me."

Xu Youyou naturally wouldn't refuse.

After Xu Youyou left, Assistant Liu looked at his boss with disappointment.

"Mr. Lu, what a great opportunity! You can walk the same route that Miss Xu has taken. If you encounter anything you don't understand, just ask her directly. This way, you can communicate more. Maybe you can even find more common ground when you return to Shanghai."

Lu Jingyao was not very good at matters between men and women, but he understood after Assistant Liu explained it.

But he still had other doubts in his mind: "She suffered a loss when she spent 9 million to buy this flower pot. Why did you ask me to agree to it?"

Assistant Liu was speechless. The money Xu Youyou spent on buying this flowerpot, including the parrot, was less than 120,000 yuan. Yet, she made over 8 million yuan by reselling it. How did she lose out?

Assistant Liu suppressed his jealousy and said, "Mr. Lu, since Miss Xu is willing, don't go against her will. If you feel she's been wronged, then compensate her in other ways. You can use this as an excuse to give her a gift. Isn't it true that relationships between men and women are built on this kind of give-and-take?"

Lu Jingyao couldn't help but nodded, but soon he said, "Say your last sentence again."

"Do you think she suffered a loss?"

"No."

"Don't go against her wishes..."

"No."

"Ms. Xu is willing to suffer a loss." Assistant Liu was thankful for his good memory, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to react.

Lu Jingyao's face was visibly happy: "You think she is willing, right?"

Assistant Liu didn't understand what his boss was so happy about. He was willing to take less money, not to get married.

"She loves money like her life, but she is willing to give me a discount. What does this mean?" Lu Jingyao asked.

Assistant Liu: ...

Assistant Liu couldn't help but suspect that Lu Jingyao had been possessed by someone, but as a flatterer around his boss, he could only say, "It means Miss Xu has you in her heart."

Lu Jingyao raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "She's been so good to me, I can't let her suffer any loss."

Assistant Liu couldn't help but doubt his own future: What should he do if he finds out his boss is a love-brained person in his fifth year of work?

"Mr. Lu, Yunsheng Holdings wants us to give them a two percentage point discount. Should we agree to it?" Assistant Liu used a work matter to test him.

Lu Jingyao glanced at him calmly: "You still ask me about this?"

Assistant Liu was relieved. As long as the partner was not Xu Youyou, Lu Jingyao would still be the iron-blooded President Lu who would fight for every penny.

After a long day of traveling, Xu Youyou returned to her home in Shanghai at eight o'clock in the evening.

But as soon as she returned home, she realized the meaning of spending money to support so many people.

The housekeeper, Sister Zhang, had already arranged a masseur before Xu Youyou arrived home. As soon as she got home, a group of people immediately surrounded her to serve her.

Before falling asleep, Xu Youyou's fatigue from the car ride had completely disappeared. As usual, she took inventory of her small treasury. When she thought of the long string of numbers in the account, she couldn't help but smile.

When I woke up the next morning, Sister Zhang came to remind me: "Boss, Mr. Xie is here."
