Chapter 33 - keyhole snapper
“Everything is done?” Zhuo Jingqiao asked while applying nail polish.
[Yes, everything went well. 】The voice of a middle-aged man came from the mobile phone on the coffee table.
“That’s okay, you pay him the balance in cash, don’t leave the tail.” Zhuo Jingqiao looked at her red manicure, her pink lips curled into a happy smile.
After hanging up the phone, she got up and told the servant, “Let the driver get the car ready, I’m going out.”
Zhuo Jingqiao went back to the room, put on a dress with exquisite tailoring, and walked out of the villa with a shiny handbag.
Lu Jingyi runs in the morning every day, so she deliberately woke up early today just to “meet by chance”.
Taking a car around Lu Jingyi’s villa, Zhuo Jingqiao met the person she wanted to meet. Lu Jingyi was wearing a set of white sportswear and ran slowly from the other side of the road. His vigorous and handsome figure seemed to have its own light effect, which made people unable to take their eyes off.
“Good morning, Big Brother Lu.” Zhuo Jingqiao rolled down the car window and greeted Lu Jingyi in a soft voice, her eyes moist and moving with her beauty contact lenses.
Lu Jingyi stopped and nodded politely at her.
“Does Brother Lu run in the morning every day?” Zhuo Jingqiao asked.
“Yeah.” Lu Jingyi’s expression was a little indifferent, and he didn’t mean to talk deeply.
“Then you should pay attention recently, and be careful not to be photographed secretly by reporters.” Zhuo Jingyi reminded unintentionally.
“Reporter?” This sentence finally caught his attention, “What reporter?”
“Brother Lu, don’t you know?” Zhuo Jingqiao showed surprise at the right time, then she took out a magazine from the sofa chair beside her and handed it out of the car window, “Look, this is a recent entertainment weekly with your report on it. .”
Lu Jingyi took the magazine and turned a few pages, and unexpectedly saw the photos of him and Yuyou, one was taken in Yanyun, and the other was in front of Yuyou’s store, but the name of the store was blurred.
Lu Jingyi’s expression darkened slightly, and his eyes were cold. This photo taken in Yanyun is not a problem, I even tracked Yuyou’s shop!
Zhuo Jingqiao observed her words and said carefully, “Big Brother Lu, what’s wrong? Am I busy?”
“It’s okay.” Lu Jingyi handed her the magazine, “Thank you for the reminder.”
Zhuo Jing saw that he seemed to be leaving, and quickly added: “Not only in entertainment magazines, but there are also many related reports on the Internet. Everyone is guessing why you left your huge family business and suddenly disappeared without a trace. You know, The outside world is very interested in the secrets of such giants. In order to dig out inside information, reporters can do anything.”
In fact, Zhuo Jingqiao was also very curious about it, she didn’t know Lu Jingyi’s condition.
“Understood, I still have something to do. I’ll take a step ahead and treat you well another day.” Lu Jingyi didn’t wait for Zhuo Jingqiao to respond, and turned around and ran towards the villa.
Zhuo Jingqiao looked at his back and whispered, “Swipe your face first, and you will love me to death in the future!”
After returning to the villa, Lu Jingyi asked Chap to fetch the ipad and search for the latest gossip news related to him. But after a while, a lot of them came out.
As a leader in the domestic technology industry, the Lu Group has the strength to compete with global technology giants. Lu Jingyi’s grandfather and father are both internationally renowned scientific and technological talents. They not only participate in national scientific research work, but also build a top team for their own company. Lu Jingyi inherited the excellent genes of his parents and showed amazing creative talent since he was a child. He graduated from MIT at the age of 17, became an assistant to Dr. Emerco at the age of 20, and had his own technology patent at the age of 22. Lu Jingyi has participated in the development of computers and mobile phones by the Lu Group.
Lu Jingyi’s fame back then was comparable to that of an international superstar. Although he never gives interviews, the outside world is full of legends about him, a combination of wealth, beauty and wisdom that is suffocatingly perfect.
However, such a person disappeared for no reason at the most legendary time. After five years of separation, his name was rarely mentioned again, but those who had paid attention to him did not forget him. When these reports appeared, it immediately caused a sensation.
The reason why the Lu family hid the truth back then was that they didn’t want the outside world to know about Lu Jingyi’s current situation. The once world-famous technological genius is now just a patient who dares not even operate electrical equipment.
“How could this be?” Chap looked at the online reports, shocked and angry, looked at Lu Jingyi and asked, “Master, what should I do now?”
“On the media side, mother will take care of it.” Lu Jingyi picked up the teacup, crossed his legs, and said lightly, “On my side…”
“what?”
“Need to change place.”
Yuyou found that there were always strange people recently, some wandering outside the store, some came in to see and didn’t speak, and some came to her with strange things to fix.
For example, the mustache uncle in front of him took out an antique radio that he didn’t know from an abandoned warehouse: “Please help me repair it.”
Yuyou was silent for a moment and said, “Sir, are you sure you want to repair this radio? Its repair cost is enough to buy a new one.”
“This radio is a relic left to me by my father. It has a special meaning to me, so I have to fix it.” Moustache said sincerely.
Yuyou: “…” The radio is rusted inside and out, and there is no trace of maintenance at all. Are you embarrassed to say that it is a relic left to you by your father? You unfilial son!
However, adhering to the principle of customer first, Yuyou did not ask more, took out the gauze, and wiped off the rust on the surface little by little.
“Little girl, are you the owner of this store?” Mustache asked casually.
“Yes.”
“It’s not bad to be a boss at such a young age.” Moustache smiled brightly, “I heard that you are very good at raising fish, why don’t you open an aquarium shop instead of a maintenance shop?”
Yuyou glanced at him: “If I open an aquarium shop, your radio will have to be repaired by someone else.”
“Ah? Hahaha, that’s right.” Mustache laughed dryly.
“Your radio is badly rusted. I have to inspect it carefully to determine the extent of the damage. Come back in three days.” After speaking, Yuyou began to give him the credentials.
Moustache’s expression stiffened: he managed to find an electrical appliance that could not be repaired for a while, just to buy time to talk, but she was dismissed by her for this reason. Serious but take two or three hours to fix the appliance!
Five minutes later, Moustache walked out of the repair shop holding the credentials and looking depressed.
Yuyou looked at his back with a thoughtful expression on his face, and muttered to himself, “Strange, what is this person here for?”
Grandpa Turtle’s phone beeped, automatically turning on the screen, and swiping a page showing the identity information that mustache had just posted on the Internet.
“Reporter?” Yu You’s doubts did not diminish. After the exhibition, some reporters did want to interview her, but she refused. If it is really a reporter, is it necessary to be so sneaky? She doesn’t have anything worth reporting here. After all, the circle of ornamental fish is relatively small, and the identity of a fish master may have some status in the circle, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is similar to fishermen and farmers.
Unless someone pretends to be an idol expert, such as Gu Yongsi from Dongwei Water City, he is young, handsome, and versatile. Others show off luxury cars and mansions.
Yuyou has always been low-key. Although he updates Weibo every day, he rarely shows off, and basically focuses on popular science.
At this time, Grandpa Turtle swiped another page, the top of which was a photo of her and Lu Jingyi, and the background was the scene of the Lohan fish breeding competition.
After carefully browsing the web page, Yu You finally understood the source of the matter. It turned out to be because of Lu Jingyi.
“The most powerful successor to Lu’s family”, “a technological genius who can create the future”, “an outstanding talent that national scientific research institutions strive for”… Looking at the comments on Lu Jingyi on the Internet, Yu You was a little surprised, but he didn’t expect him to be so powerful of a character.
It’s just that what happened back then that made him unable to use his mobile phone properly now? It would be a pity if this disease could never be cured.
Yu You frowned, realizing that Lu Jingyi’s current situation must not be known by reporters, otherwise he will face all kinds of rumors and rumors, and his family’s industry and stocks will also be greatly affected.
Lu Jingyi and his relatives and friends are not accessible to ordinary people. Only she has no identity or background, and is the easiest to start. As long as she does not meet with Lu Jingyi, the reporters will soon change their targets.
While thinking about it, the phone suddenly rang, and the caller was Lu Jingyi.
After getting on the phone, Lu Jingyi’s first words were: “Xiaoyu, will you live with me?”
Yuyou: “???”
At night, Yuyou sank to the bottom of the sea, thinking about it all the time.
The reason Lu Jingyi proposed to live together was that someone was secretly investigating him and already knew his current address. In order to protect his privacy, he wanted to find another hidden place to live. As his “gossip girlfriend”, he is also the target of their stalking, so he wants her to live with him to avoid being harassed by others.
Yu You looked inexplicable, when did she become his “gossip girlfriend”?
After careful search, I found that there are quite a lot of gossip about her “gossip girlfriend” on the Internet. Some people even speculated that Lu Jingyi’s disappearance was related to her, such as hidden marriages, elopement, grievances and grievances between rich and powerful families, all kinds of gossip, and different opinions.
According to this heat, I am afraid it will not be cold for a while. What’s more, she is also participating in the Lohan fish breeding competition, and her attention will only be higher.
Yuyou really hopes to spend more time with Lu Jingyi, because his expertise and talent in technology can give her a lot of advice. But living with him is still very inconvenient. Even if gender is ignored, race must be considered.
Therefore, she rejected Lu Jingyi.
The next morning, Yu You received a call from the president of the Yanyun Fish Friends Association. It had been 3 days since she posted the video, and she didn’t know what the president planned to do.
[First of all, I would like to apologize to you carefully. I saw that video and was very angry, I didn’t expect this to happen in our game. The staff member has been removed by me, and I promise to take it seriously. Miss Yu, it’s no problem if you want to make the video public or let us apologize publicly. This is our mistake and there is no excuse. 】
Hearing this, Yu You recognized the president’s attitude, but some questions still had to be clarified.
“Have you investigated other staff? Is this just an isolated phenomenon, or is it a vicious competition?”
[We have done a preliminary investigation and found no similar situation for the time being. Next, we will increase monitoring efforts to monitor the behavior of each staff member. As for whether it is an individual phenomenon or a vicious competition, it is still uncertain. 】
Yu You was thoughtful, only to hear from the other side: [Miss Yu, what do you mean? What do we need to do? 】
“Only one thing.” Yuyou replied, “Replace the name card I affixed to the aquarium.” The name card is the card used by the contestants to register the species of fry. After the initial appearance of the fry, it will be judged whether the contestant’s initial judgment of the fry species is accurate.
【This is a must, we will also let you re-select the fry. 】
“There is no need to re-select, just use those fry.”
【what? 】 Yuyou’s answer surprised President Yanyun, 【You have three fry replaced, if you don’t replace them, your score in the preliminary round will be very low. 】
“I don’t care about the score.” Yu Youyou said calmly, “You just need to help me replace the name card.”
There was silence for a while, and he said: [Okay, what do you want to change. 】
“Pearl*2, Ma Liu*2, Desass*2, Flower Horn*1, Black Cloud (South American Cichlids)*2, Keyhole Seabream (South American Cichlids)*1.” 1 pearl of Yuyou and 2 horses were replaced with 2 black clouds and 1 keyhole snapper.
【what? Keyhole snapper? Are you sure? 】President Yanyun’s voice was filled with excitement and disbelief.
“Yes.”
In order not to be discovered, those who secretly changed fish deliberately selected South American cichlids, which are very similar to the fry of Luohan. Luohan fish is an artificial hybrid, and their original genes are derived from South American cichlids. The keyhole cichlid in the South American cichlids is the panda species of this group, which is very rare. Even if you ask Yuyou to find it by himself, you may not be able to find it, and you don’t know where the fish changer came from. It’s really lucky.
In the first stage of the competition, eyesight was compared. It didn’t really matter whether the fry was a mangosteen or a cichlid. As long as you judged correctly, even if you couldn’t get a high score, no one would laugh at it. A rare keyhole snapper.
[…Okay, just do it according to your request. At the same time, I will explain this to the outside world. 】
“Then it will be troublesome.”
[You’re welcome, we are the one who caused you trouble. If your judgment is correct, it may be a good thing for our competition. 】
To solve the problem of the fry being replaced, Yuyou put down one thing and planned to go to Yanyun in two days. A rare keyhole snapper, she was also intrigued.
One day passed peacefully, the reporter did not appear, and Lu Jingyi did not contact her.
Just when she put on her swimsuit and was ready to go into the ocean, the doorbell downstairs suddenly rang.
Click the doorbell to monitor and see a familiar figure appear on the screen.
Lu Jingyi?
“Why are you here so late?” Yu You put on his nightgown and helped him open the door.
Lu Jingyi stepped in, carrying a suitcase in his hand, looking like he was homeless.
“Xiaoyu, can you take me in temporarily until you find a new place?” He looked at her sincerely.
Yuyou: “?!”
