Chapter 303 Golden Phoebe
Xu Youyou said, "I'll give you Song Zhibai's agent's contact information later. You can have someone talk to him."
Young Master Li raised his eyebrows: "Is this even worth discussing? Isn't it just a matter of one word from you?"
"The agent also has to consider Song Zhibai's thoughts. He doesn't really like to participate in social activities." Xu Youyou explained.
Young Master Li chuckled when he heard this: "Aren't these celebrities just toys? Why should we care about their thoughts?"
Xu Youyou frowned slightly when she heard the matter-of-fact tone.
"Mr. Li, I fully respect the ideas of my artists and will not force them to take jobs they don't want to take." Xu Youyou was already a little angry when she said this.
Although Young Master Li had a rather arrogant temper, he also knew that Xu Youyou wasn't the type of woman in the industry who would cling to wealth and status. She had her own strengths, so it was difficult for him to blame her. Instead, he lectured her, "Miss Xu, you can't take artists too seriously, otherwise they will become unruly."
Xu Youyou knew the darkness of Hong Kong's entertainment industry in the last century. Perhaps many bad habits were still followed to this day, and even the domestic entertainment industry today could not be considered a pure land.
But Xu Youyou didn't care about others. She just wanted to stick to her own insistence: "Disobedience only means that our fate is too shallow. At least now Xiao Song is still very obedient."
Young Master Li was speechless at this point. However, when Xu Youyou was not around, he quietly complained to his brothers beside him: "Girls are girls. They don't know how to do business. It's like a joke."
Although Lu Jingyao's friends respect Xu Youyou on the surface, they still feel in their hearts that Xu Youyou is not worthy of the hundreds of billions of assets in her account.
"Xu Youyou is so protective of Song Zhibai, not letting others take advantage of him. Is it because Song Zhibai is his little pet?"
"If that's the case, then Lu Jingyao is also cuckolded?"
When I thought of this possibility, the first thing I felt was not worry, but I chuckled instead.
They talked bad about Xu Youyou behind her back, and Xu Youyou couldn't help but question Lu Jingyao.
"Are these really your friends?" Xu Youyou asked.
Lu Jingyao shook his head: "Just a business partner."
"Can't you find someone else to cooperate with? I don't like them very much." Xu Youyou said.
Although these people spoke politely, they kept looking at her with their eyes. The one with the surname Li made her feel particularly uncomfortable.
Lu Jingyao said, "We can find others to cooperate with, but they are not very smart. It is less troublesome to cooperate with them. After all, their intentions are obvious."
Xu Youyou: ...
Xu Youyou suddenly wasn't so angry anymore. It turned out that these two people who looked so glamorous were actually being fooled, and they didn't even realize that they were being taken advantage of.
"If you don't like it, I can find someone else to cooperate with. They are not irreplaceable." Lu Jingyao said.
Xu Youyou shook her head: "I don't intend to get involved in your business."
The two had already said in advance that they could cooperate, but they could not interfere in each other's affairs.
Before ten o'clock, people began pushing glass cabinets covered with red silk cloth into the main venue.
Xu Youyou immediately perked up, realizing that this was today's important collection.
Before the red silk was unveiled, a system prompt appeared in front of her.
[Ding, the task of picking up leaks has been opened. Please complete the task within seven hours.]
The prompt that suddenly popped up from Xu Youyou was not surprising at all.
The system's golden pointer quickly pointed to a glass cabinet covered with red silk.
As soon as ten o'clock arrived, all the red silks on the scene were removed, revealing the true appearance of the treasures inside.
Each glass is of the highest grade bulletproof glass, and the on-site security is strict, so there is no need to worry about anyone doing anything stupid.
Xu Youyou originally wanted to go straight to her mission target, but suddenly she noticed someone staring at her out of the corner of her eye.
She turned her head and saw Gu Fengchuan and his sister.
Xu Youyou suppressed her inner displeasure and patiently looked at the collections one by one in order.
The three collection pieces in the front are all porcelain. If they were put on an auction outside, they would all be treasures that can be the main attraction.
"They are all true, except for one thing that has a problem." Xu Youyou said.
Lu Jingyao was carefully examining a blue and white porcelain plate that was said to be from the Kangxi period. There was no signature on the bottom of the porcelain, but it was identified by relevant appraisal experts as a Kangxi porcelain.
"Is this it?" Lu Jingyao asked.
Xu Youyou came close to him and almost whispered in his ear: "This should be porcelain from the Jiajing period. The appraisal experts made a mistake. If we buy it, it can be considered a good bargain."
Lu Jingyao chuckled and said, "I originally wanted to buy this porcelain as a birthday gift for Grandpa. After hearing what you said, I'm determined to get it. I can then say that you picked it out especially for Grandpa."
Gu Xueying felt extremely jealous when she saw the two of them being so sweet and affectionate. She was just about to move closer to see if she could eavesdrop on anything.
But Liu Xiangyi suddenly squeezed in front of Gu Xueying and said in a very exaggerated tone: "It's really beautiful, but it's a pity that I can't afford it."
As she squeezed like this, Gu Xueying was much further away from Xu Youyou, and it became increasingly difficult for her to hear their conversation clearly. Gu Xueying couldn't help but glare at Liu Xiangyi.
Liu Xiangyi touched his nose and said apologetically, "Did I take up your space? Don't worry, I'll give it to you right away!"
Liu Xiangyi strode away, thinking that since she had apologized, this rich lady should not bear a grudge against her... Suddenly she remembered that she seemed to have come in as an assistant, so where was her boss?
Liu Xiangyi trotted to catch up with Xu Youyou, who was already looking at the sixth treasure.
Xu Youyou looked at her confused assistant and didn't blame her for her sudden wandering mind. Instead, she gently reminded her, "Run slower and don't fall."
Liu Xiangyi nodded vigorously and couldn't help thinking in her heart that Miss Xu was really a very nice person. She must learn as soon as possible so that she could help Miss Xu like a real assistant!
Assistant Liu, who was about to enter the room, watched them interact and couldn't help but wonder, "They're both surnamed Liu, both assistants, so why is the boss's attitude so different? Is it just because he's not a woman?"
It took Xu Youyou a long time before she tried her best to pretend that she didn't care. She walked to her target and glanced at the treasure.
It was a small wooden box, the material seemed to be golden nanmu, and there were a few items randomly placed in the box. They all looked quite ordinary. At a glance, Xu Youyou couldn't tell which one was the truly valuable treasure.
She left the display case as if nothing had happened and stayed at the next display case for a long time.
After confirming that the Gu brothers and sisters had been peeking at her, she leaned over to Lu Jingyao's ear and said, "I must get the small box made of golden nanmu wood. Do you have any trustworthy friends in Hong Kong who can help me buy this treasure?"
