Chapter 65 Building Momentum
Lin Youyou, carrying a delivery box and a folder, knocked on the door of room 1201.
"Hello, Mrs. Xu Huan, this is your package!" Lin Youyou held up the package box, indicating that Gu Jia should sign for it.
Gu Jia was taken aback, because no one had called her Mrs. Xu. Coming to her senses, she smiled and accepted the box, "Thank you, Xiao Lin."
Lin Youyou took out another folder, "There's one more thing, the central air conditioning upstairs needs cleaning. I need your signature."
"Okay, you can come in first."
Lin Youyou finally entered Xu Huanshan's house. She had been looking forward to it for so long!
The house was even nicer than she had imagined. There was a portrait of the family of three with their signatures on the wall. Imagining how happy the three of them looked, she felt a deep envy.
"Hey Lin, do we need to pay extra for cleaning the air conditioner?" Gu Jia interrupted Lin Youyou's daydreaming and asked about "business."
"Oh, no payment is required. We just need to come to your home for cleaning, and that's when we'll need your signature."
"Okay." Gu Jia picked up the pen and signed her name.
Just then, Xu Ziyan ran out from the inner room, "Who is this lady?!"
"Hello, Xu Ziyan, you're so good at talking! I'm the property manager downstairs. Here, this is for you!" As she spoke, Lin Youyou took out a Buzz Lightyear keychain from her pocket and gave it to Xu Ziyan.
"Thank you, sister! This is my favorite!" Xu Ziyan truly lives up to his reputation as a good man in the drama!
Gu Jia looked at the Buzz Lightyear toy that Lin Youyou had given her and felt it looked familiar. But she didn't want to ask too much, since she wasn't familiar with Lin Youyou.
…………
Chen Yu made another appointment with Xu Huanshan, again at Jiang Chen's coffee shop.
Chen Yu proactively raised the issue, "Time is running out, there are only a few days left. This matter can't just be dragged on like this; we need a solution. Have you thought it through?"
"Could you grant me a few more days? I haven't figured out how to tell Gu Jia yet." Xu Huanshan's expression wasn't very pleasant.
"You mean, you want to keep that young girl? If you want Gu Jia to agree, that will be quite difficult, and are you sure that girl is willing to continue like this?" Chen Yu didn't believe that Lin Youyou would honestly be a mistress, and that Gu Jia would never accept three people.
Xu Huanshan didn't speak. He wasn't really sure what Lin Youyou was thinking. Although the girl seemed obedient, Lin Youyou had been making decisions on her own from the beginning. From resigning from her job in the capital to working at the property management company now, it seemed that she hadn't consulted Xu Huanshan's opinion much.
"There are five days left, right? After these few days, I will explain the situation to Gu Jia and apologize to her. Old Xu, that's enough for today, I'm leaving now." Chen Yu got up and left without leaving any red bills.
Xu Huanshan was no longer in the mood to watch Chen Yu show off; he had to figure out how to handle the relationship between Gu Jia and Lin Youyou. If all else failed, he would just give up on Lin Youyou!
Lin Youyou didn't follow Xu Huanshan's plan; she was always very proactive. For example, the package she sent to Gu Jia wasn't actually purchased by Gu Jia, but rather a deliberate reminder.
Gu Jia received them, of course; they were her usual facial cleansing wipes, though she had just bought some a few days ago. Gu Jia didn't understand why, until Lao Yan, the factory manager of the fireworks factory, came to Shanghai.
"Gu Jia, our fireworks factory is running out of cardboard packaging, and we can't get in touch with General Manager Xu. The entire production line has stopped; we're out of packaging paper!" Old Yan interrupted as soon as they met.
Gu Jia stopped Lao Yan from speaking, "Why is this happening? Does President Xu know about this?"
"My phone is always switched off!"
In reality, Xu Huanshan was currently thinking about how to handle the relationship between the three of them. He lacked confidence in persuading Gu Jia, but he also couldn't bear to lose Lin Youyou. Standing by the river, he sighed deeply, completely absorbed in the melancholy atmosphere he had created for himself! He was so moved by his own actions that he couldn't stop.
Gu Jia also tried calling Xu Huanshan, but his phone was switched off.
But it's okay, Gu Jia is capable of handling the company herself. She can resolve the crisis in a few words, and buy some raw materials from competitors at high prices to make up for the production needs.
Gu Jia quickly resolved the raw material issue for Lao Yan, her efficiency leaving Lao Yan utterly impressed. It was precisely because of Gu Jia's thoughtfulness that Lao Yan felt a pang of guilt.
"Gu Jia, there's something I need to admit to you today that I made a mistake."
"what happened?"
Old Yan explained, "Regarding the blue fireworks you asked about last time, I lied. Here's what happened: Last time, President Xu brought Youyou to the factory for an inspection and tested the blue fireworks. After that, we started small-scale production."
Gu Jia smiled easily, "Is that all? I know, President Xu already told me."
"Really? That's wonderful! I've been feeling guilty ever since he asked me to keep it from you!" Old Yan was relieved, finally feeling a weight lifted from his shoulders.
"I know that the blue fireworks issue is all Mr. Xu's fault, but I have one request: you must strictly control the safety of the production and storage of the blue fireworks, and there must be no mistakes!"
"Don't worry about that, Gu Jia. Actually, I'm also quite worried. I will be extremely careful about safety!" Old Yan quickly assured him.
"That's good. It's getting late. I'll have Youyou take you home!" Gu Jia turned around, picked up the phone, and called Youyou.
When Youyou came in, she greeted Old Yan, "Hello, Factory Director Yan, I'm Youyou, we've finally met!"
Old Yan stared in disbelief. "Wait, are you Youyou?"
Youyou, still confused, explained, "Oh, it's me. The company is the one I've been in contact with!"
Old Yan was even more confused, "Does our company have any other people named Youyou?"
"No! I'm the only one named Youyou."
Gu Jia sensed something was wrong. Xu Huanshan had taken a girl, pretending to be Youyou, to the fireworks factory? Why would Xu Huanshan lie to Factory Manager Yan? Xu Huanshan hadn't mentioned this girl to her either! Gu Jia knew something was amiss with Xu Huanshan, but who was that girl?
To prevent the two from making any further fools of themselves at the company, Gu Jia had "Real Youyou" escort Director Yan back, while she herself needed to observe them further.
That evening, Xu Huanshan saw so many missed call notifications and knew something was wrong. He quickly called Gu Jia, who coldly replied that she had already handled it. When Xu Huanshan returned home, Gu Jia was carrying Xu Ziyan into the small bedroom. Seeing Xu Huanshan return, Gu Jia coldly said, "Ziyan missed his mother today, I'll stay with him tonight!" Then she slammed the door shut.
After coaxing Xu Ziyan to sleep, Gu Jia carefully considered Xu Huanshan's unusual behavior, and the more she thought about it, the more suspicious she became. Overwhelmed with emotion, she couldn't sleep all night.
The next day, Xu Huanshan went to the company. Gu Jia, having slept late and preoccupied, didn't get up until very late. Shortly after, she heard a knock at the door. Lin Youyou arrived with an air conditioner repairman to clean the unit. During the cleaning, Lin Youyou took out a folder and asked Gu Jia to sign it. At this moment, Gu Jia noticed a band-aid in Lin Youyou's hand—a band-aid unique to their household, brought back from Japan, with a design Xu Ziyan liked. This brand wasn't sold locally. But that was a minor incident. Lin Youyou then pretended it was too hot in the room, unbuttoning two buttons of her shirt and fanning herself with her collar, revealing a patch of white skin on her chest and a striking blue firework tattoo!
