Chapter 18: A Distant Cry for Help (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

  Although she had saved her number long ago, the number of times Youyou called herself was countable. On the other hand, Aunt Li would occasionally call herself, for example, when she made delicious food or when she wouldn't be back home for a few days, she would ask about it.

  "Hey, what's up?" Zhao Long asked directly as soon as he picked up the phone. He knew that Youyou wouldn't call himself unless something was going on.

  "Brother Zhao, I'm currently at the Blue Ocean Club. I didn't know this event was organized by Xiao Ru. Coincidentally, a classmate's birthday is today and they invited me to dinner, so I came along. Only when I arrived did I realize it was Xiao Ru treating us...I feel something is off..." After last time, Zhao Long also told Li Youyou to be more careful if she interacts with Ma Xiaoru in the future. Li Youyou herself had analyzed this and recently kept a distance from Ma Xiaoru, but unexpectedly ended up at Blue Ocean indirectly.

  As soon as they arrived at the Blue Ocean, Youyou felt something was off. The luxurious decorations were not only beyond her expectations, but also left her classmates speechless. They were all shocked that Ma Xiaoru would be so generous to invite a classmate she wasn't close with to celebrate her birthday in such a place. But Youyou sensed that something was wrong and immediately made an excuse to step out and call Zhao Long.

  Blue Ocean, Zhao Long immediately furrowed his brow. What is Blue Ocean? He knew more about it than Youyou did. It was a famous high-end club in Haicheng, although not the most top-notch one, but already a place where ordinary billionaires and various celebrities and officials went. The club had a membership system, even if an ordinary boss with only a few tens of millions could not get a membership card without connections, and the basic annual fee was 100,000 yuan.

  "Slowly, after a while you'll say someone is looking for you, and you've already agreed to invite them to dinner. Observe their reaction, this way you can know if their goal is you or not. If they try hard to persuade you to stay, then stay there." Zhao Long heard it was Blue Ocean, his first thought was how he could get in. That place wasn't just anywhere, even wanting to go in himself was difficult. Wanting to make Youyou leave, and thinking about that night's events, didn't want to bring up other matters, so arranged it this way.

  "Hmm, I see. They must be after me. I've heard people in school mention the Blue Ocean Club, saying that a casual meal here costs hundreds of thousands of yuan. I didn't expect Xiao Ru to be so outrageous..." Youyou was also very indignant at this point, and things had reached a point where she had thoroughly seen through it all.

  "You're here, how is that? Xiaoru's friend has arrived. Guess who it is, you absolutely can't imagine, I just got his autograph, this time we hit the jackpot...if we go to his company after graduation, it'll be even more awesome than going to a foreign company..." At this moment, another girl's excited voice came from the phone, and she rushed over to pull Youyou away.

  Zhao Long had originally planned to go to the gold shop to buy some more gold, but with what happened on Nian Nian's side, he could only change his plans first and hailed a taxi.

  "Master, Blue Ocean, there's an urgent matter, hurry up." Although from the analysis of last time's event, that person is thinking of pursuing Youyou, but some things are not easy to say, who knows what this guy who has been hiding in the shadows wants to do and what means he will take.

  ………………………………………

  Outside is a beautiful lake, surrounded by rare flowers and trees. The interior decoration of the room is extremely luxurious, but there is no slightest feeling of being flashy, it's clear that someone has carefully designed it. Blue Ocean is called Blue Ocean because it is an entire building made of glass, under the sunlight, the whole building complex shines with a blue light, from afar, it looks like the ocean is surging.

  "Yuoyou, where have you gone? Come over quickly..."

  "Ah, I'll introduce you... " At this time, Ma Xiaoru also stood up, ready to introduce Lei Xiangyu beside her. Earlier, Lei Xiangyu had already met the others, his handsome and mature demeanor, witty and humorous speech, and the nobility in his words had already made everyone center around him.

  Seeing Lei Xiangyu's current appearance, Ma Xiaoru's jealousy in her heart is about to go crazy, but seeing Youyou, she can't help but show a kind of intimacy.

  "Sorry, I have a friend who needs me for something, I'll be right back, sorry." Without waiting for her introduction, Youyou had already dodged Ma Xiaoru and said a sentence to the crowd, especially smiling apologetically at the birthday boy.

  "Ah, how can this be..."

  "You're really not making enough of an effort."

  "Come on, you're being too unreasonable, can't you wait a bit?"

  …………

  "Right, you see everyone is saying that, if you leave now it would be too disappointing." Ma Xiaoru hastily came forward to grab onto Youyou, smiling and saying: "No way, today no matter what we must keep Youyou here, does everyone agree?"

  Everyone was still unaware of what was going on and were excited, they immediately agreed, two people had already come up and sat down with Ma Xiaoyu pulling Youyou.

  "His stuff is still with me, I have to hand it over to him personally, and there are some things I need to tell him...” Yu Yu felt Ma Xiao Ru tightly grasping his arm, unless he immediately turned against her, otherwise she really couldn't shake him off. It seems that what Zhao Ge said was true after all, as for the other classmates, they probably didn't know anything about it. Thinking of this, Yu Yu couldn't help but let out a long sigh, how did Xiao Ru become like this?

  At this moment, Lei Xiangyu was holding a large high-footed cup in his hand, and the red wine inside was slowly rotating around the cup as he gently swayed it. Just now, he had also popularized some basic knowledge of wine tasting to Ma Xiaoru and her classmates. At least let them know the value of this 82-year-old Lafite, otherwise giving them good things to drink without knowing would be a waste.

  "I think it's better this way, let your friend come to Blue Ocean, everyone together will be more lively, and it won't delay your business." Lei Xiangyu said with great demeanor, seeming very casual, but his eyes gazing at Youyou were somewhat fervent. He had seen Youyou buying things in a large supermarket under their company's flag when he was on an inspection tour. At that time, Youyou was choosing a mirror, and there was no one around. Youyou was selecting mirrors while making several cute faces, enjoying herself very much.

  This made Lei Xiangyu, who was inspecting the security monitoring room at that time, fascinated. Later, he sent someone to investigate the situation of Youyou, which led to what happened later.

  "That's really thank you, I'll send him a text message, thank you." Youyou took a glance at Leixiangyu and politely said a word before lowering her head to send the text message. In other people's eyes, Leixiangyu was extremely excellent, but in Youyou's opinion, he seemed somewhat annoying.

  "This is Leixiang Yu, the young master of the Lei family. He's the one who invited you to this gathering today. The bottle of '82 Lafite that was just opened is worth tens of thousands of yuan... if you have any trouble in the future, you can look for Young Master Lei anytime..." Seeing Youyou's indifferent attitude, Ma Xiaoru felt a bit anxious.

  “Cough...” Lei Xiangyu covered his mouth and coughed lightly, this Ma Xiaoru was simply a bumpkin, he shouldn't have looked for her in the first place, just listening to her made him annoyed. Lei Xiangyu hastily interrupted Ma Xiaoru's words and laughed: “These are all trivial matters, I actually graduated not many years ago, two years ago I still obtained a doctoral degree from our Haicheng University, so I'm still your senior, you don't have to be too formal, let's just relax.”

  Lei Xiangyu already had a doctoral degree from abroad, and later donated to Haicheng University and received an honorary doctorate. However, such a low-gold-content degree is more of an honorary one. These people who came were all very astute, and as soon as they saw the situation, they immediately sensed some problems, with some whispering to each other and others carefully observing.

  "Oh... alright, you guys go ahead and chat, I don't drink, I'll just send him a message to explain, it's all my fault for forgetting what I promised. " Yu You lowered her head, fiddling with her phone as she sent messages, not even glancing at Lei Xiangyu once. Lei Xiangyu discreetly concealed his disappointment and started chatting casually with the others, while Ma Xiaoju's face turned somewhat unpleasant.

  ……………………………………………

  "Hey kid, the pay and benefits are pretty good here, right?" The car was stopped at the outer gate a few kilometers away from Blue Ocean, where it had been blocked. As they went further up, it became a private highway built by Blue Ocean itself. The driver smiled and asked while looking for change to give Zhao Long.

  "Come find me personally." Zhao Long smiled as he took the money.

  Just then, a luxurious RV drove out from inside. A manager from Blue Sea came over and very politely asked: "Excuse me, are you looking for Miss Li Youyou?"

  "Hmm." Zhao Long nodded, looking at the situation with a hidden smile in his heart. If Lei Xiangyu knew he was the one being referred to, he wondered what kind of thoughts he would have. Earlier, in the text message, Zhao Long had been chatting with Youyou all along, and he was very clear about the situation there. Youyou was very clever and did a great job.

  Watching the manager open the car door, the security guards around him also saluted. Zhao Long got into the house car and the driver was stunned for a long time without reacting. He thought to himself, "Damn, this guy is really pretending to be a rich young master who has come to experience life and feel what it's like to be an ordinary person."

  "Golf indeed requires some time to practice slowly, I'll find someone to teach you all to get familiar with it first, but there are other entertainment activities here, as long as you can think of it, it should be available. If not, they can arrange it immediately." At this moment, Lei Xiangyu was chatting with the crowd when he saw Youyou getting up and looking towards the door. Lei Xiangyu finally found an opportunity to get up and walk to Youyou's side: "I've always wanted to meet Miss Youyou, but previously I misheard someone's words and complicated a simple matter. However, I believe that after spending more time together, Youyou will know what kind of person I am."

  "Brother Zhao..." At this time, he saw Zhao Long walking over from a distance and excitedly ran over.

  "Zhao Long...... despicable...... how is it him......" Ma Xiaoru also suddenly stood up, gritting her teeth and staring at Zhao Long who was walking over.

  Lei Xiangyu's eyebrows also slightly furrowed, he wasn't just annoyed by Zhao Long's arrival, but mainly because of Youyou's continuous ignoring him. At this moment, seeing Zhao Long, he suddenly understood Youyou's behavior earlier, what friends coming to send things was actually just teasing him.

  She had been waiting for Zhao Long to arrive, and it was actually him again, hum!!!

  The plot gets even more exciting later on, and the updates by Shengyi are all big chapters. Two chapters put together is almost as long as three regular chapters, so after you're done reading, don't forget to throw in a recommendation vote!!!
