Volume 3 Hello, Eri Chapter 223 Genji Heavy Industries (I)
Before breakfast, a waitress brought a faxed document from the Japanese branch to the presidential suite along with a cart. The letter apologized for delaying everyone's schedule yesterday and that today, according to the original plan, all Kassel specialists would be taken to visit the Japanese branch's base in Tokyo.
The document also included their schedule for the day. The itinerary was packed with fifteen-minute time slots, from nine in the morning to six in the evening. They were expected to visit the Japan branch's office center in Tokyo, visit the Japanese Imperial Palace arranged by the Imperial Household Agency, pay homage to the 1,400-year-old Sensō-ji Temple, and have shopping time in the commercial district. Lunch was arranged at a Michelin three-star French restaurant, and dinner would be top-notch Japanese cuisine prepared by the chef of the family. The fresh fish for dinner had been shipped from the fish market at six o'clock this morning, including a 1.86-meter deep-sea tuna.
The itinerary was very detailed, and it even took into account what to do if there was a traffic jam along the way. Caesar whistled when he saw the itinerary. For him, traveling and visiting a shrine were relaxing and pleasant things. He never thought that the Japanese could turn such an itinerary into a dense and demanding work report.
With arrangements made for today, Chu Zihang had to take out his cell phone to wake Lu Mingfei up. Actually, he had originally planned to let her sleep a little longer, but now there was only an hour left and the Japanese branch’s car would be waiting for them downstairs. Considering that Lu Mingfei didn’t know which hotel in Wentai District she was in, it was necessary to notify her in advance.
Caesar picked up his coffee and pretended to enjoy his breakfast, but in fact, he was dishonestly turning on the sickle to eavesdrop on Lu Mingfei's voice on the phone. Gossip is a popular behavior for people all over the world, even for a nobleman like Caesar who claims to be a veteran in the love field. Moreover, Lu Mingfei did not come back last night, and when Chu Zihang came back, he was carrying some sweets that he was not good at eating and looked a little lost. This made Caesar imagine a sad drama, and now he was eager to know the subsequent plot development.
"Not awake yet?" Chu Zihang's first sentence was not even a greeting. Caesar thought to himself, Xiao Chu, you lost with this first sentence. The overbearing president-like way of asking questions only exists in romance stories. You won't die if you are more intimate!
"Hmm...hmm?" Lu Mingfei was trying hard to break free from the bondage of the bed and her sweet dreams. She even turned on her cell phone with her eyes closed. When she heard her senior brother's voice, she perked up. She opened her eyes and saw Eiry burying herself in her arms and breathing shallowly. Last night, after Eiry learned to speak, she said a lot of meaningless things to her in one breath. She must have been holding it in. She didn't know when the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.
It was really... a phone call full of NTR flavor! Lu Mingfei inexplicably felt like she had become some kind of seductive heroine who had returned to the village, holding the phone in her hand and flirting with the male lead, saying "I love you" on one hand and "I like you" on the other, but in fact she was talking to the male lead... Ah, the female lead was so happy singing a passionate song...
What is this?
"I was just about to start... Why did you call me all of a sudden?" Lu Mingfei felt a little uneasy, so her voice was naturally much lower when she answered.
"The Japanese branch sent a message that a car will be waiting for us downstairs of the Peninsula Hotel in an hour. You need to come back quickly." Chu Zihang didn't notice Lu Mingfei's little trick. It was normal to speak weakly in the morning, especially for a soft and cute girl, whose "hmm" could be compared to the meow of a ragdoll cat.
"Okay, okay, I got it..." Lu Mingfei tried her best to lower her voice so as not to wake up Eiry, but Eiry seemed to be showing signs of waking up and frowned impatiently.
"That's it." Chu Zihang hung up the phone.
What does "that's it" mean? After listening to the whole story, Caesar could only sigh. Even if you teach this big white carrot how to twist his waist and become a show-off, he can still defeat any beautiful fantasy in a steely straight man way in a place you can't see. This is not a call between lovers at all! This is called the rich man Boss Chu and his poor secretary! Every sentence sounds like an explanation to his subordinates!
"Did you find Lu Mingfei yesterday?" Caesar decided to take the initiative. If it was someone else's gossip, he might not care at all, but this was Chu Zihang, his good rival. Chu Zihang's gossip was his treasured movie collection that Caesar would treasure. If Chu Zihang failed, many years later, Caesar would inevitably bring up this matter every now and then to make fun of him.
"No." Chu Zihang didn't think it was something that needed to be concealed, so he said it naturally, "I went to Akihabara but couldn't find her. I called her and found out that she was no longer there. She had gone somewhere else to play. It was raining heavily at that time, and she said she didn't bring an umbrella. She might have stayed in a hotel nearby. I had no choice but to give up."
"So you just came back like that?" Caesar held his forehead with his hand.
"Um."
"I saw you didn't get wet in the rain when you came back."
"Yes, I checked the weather forecast before I went out and brought two umbrellas."
"Then why don't you ask her where she is and send her the umbrella?" Caesar asked a question that any normal person would make. "At worst, you can find out where she is, throw away the umbrella, take a taxi and run to her in the storm, hug her tightly, and tell her that you have no choice but to stay in the hotel with her tonight because you don't have an umbrella. No girl will refuse you!"
Chu Zihang did not answer. He seemed to be staring at the eggs on the plate, but in fact he just realized that what Caesar said might be right... He had no experience at all in terms of emotions. Although he tried to follow Caesar's guidance and made some adjustments by buying some sweets, this flexibility was obviously not enough in the face of reality. When he heard Lu Mingfei say she would not be back, he felt that they would not be able to meet tonight. He never thought that he was in control of the initiative and could rush to find her regardless of everything like Caesar said.
"Will that... really be okay?" Chu Zihang asked in a low voice.
"Whether it's good or not depends on the individual, but I think there's nothing more touching than a single girl seeing her boyfriend on a cold and rainy night. If you really stayed in the hotel together last night, maybe I could order a bowl of red bean rice for Lu Mingfei this morning." Caesar spread big handfuls of cheese on the bread and bit it off. When he and Chu Zihang ate together, they didn't pay much attention to the so-called aristocratic etiquette. After all, they once had the experience of sharing a handful of coffee beans when they were on a mission in South America together and had nothing to eat.
"Red bean rice?" Chu Zihang didn't understand.
"It is said that it is a Japanese custom to give the bride the first meal after the wedding night to congratulate her on her transformation from a girl to a woman." This did not sound obscene to Caesar. There are many ways to express love, and the wedding night is an indispensable part of it. As a flamboyant Italian, he is not as reserved and conservative about sex as traditional Chinese men and women.
"..." Chu Zihang didn't know what to do next. He had never thought that he would have that kind of relationship with Lu Mingfei. Although it was human nature, to be honest, if it really developed to the wedding night, he might have to listen to Lu Mingfei, who was blushing and pulling the half-pulled blanket, instructing him on how to perform the actual operations next.
Someone knocked on the door of the love hotel. Lu Mingfei quietly pulled her arm out from under Eri's head and walked silently across the floor to open the door. It definitely couldn't be a hotel staff member at such an early hour. Disturbing a customer's sweet sleep was a big taboo in the hotel. The customer would complain severely and post it online, saying that they would never come again.
"Nagato Imamoto, at your service."
The door opened, and Lu Mingfei looked up at the tall girl in front of her. She was even taller than Eri. Although she wore very light makeup, it still couldn't hide her sharp face. There was a hint of crimson in the corners of her eyes. Her long hair was tied into a tall kendo ponytail. Her legs were almost as long as the legendary legs. She had such a good figure that she could even walk on the catwalk. She wore a belly-exposing short T-shirt and black jeans, and she exuded an air of efficiency all over her body.
"Nagato Housekeeping?" Lu Mingfei asked in a low voice. It was a waste of talent for such a person to call herself a housekeeper. Lu Mingfei felt that she should participate in the Miss World pageant to do justice to such a long leg.
"A customer named Lu booked a service at a high price, saying that there was a girl who lacked life experience and needed to be taken care of for her daily life and diet." Miss Legs established her professional status with her signature and impeccable smile alone, "That's why I came here."
Lu Mingfei thought she understood. This was the person Lu Mingze promised to find to take care of Eri. Although he looked a little ostentatious, he seemed enthusiastic and reliable.
This is probably what it is. She has vaguely heard that there is such an awesome profession in the world. They call themselves butlers. This so-called butler is not the kind of person who helps the master of an ancient family control hundreds of people. They are elite managers living in the modern world and can quickly integrate into any family in just half a day. With such a person, you don't need to think about what life is like. Living, eating, and cleaning are just the basics. If you lack entertainment, this kind of butler can even use his level comparable to that of a national Go player to ravage you for an afternoon. Foreign languages, economics, engineering, fashion, food, art, they are knowledgeable and can talk to you about any field you can think of. They are all-round.
Among ordinary people, this is called a genius among geniuses, but for these butlers, they did such a job of serving others simply out of interest. In fact, with their level, they can thrive anywhere.
The monthly salary of such a person must be an astronomical figure, right? Lu Mingfei remained calm but was a little trembling in her heart. Although Samson had given her a lot of money in the past two years, it was all Samson's own money after all, and she took the lion's share. It was a great kindness to give Lu Mingfei so much money for free. How much money was in the card? Last time I looked, it seemed to be more than 300,000? I wonder if this money can support a month's salary for such a person. I heard that the guys who can make a living on Wall Street can make millions of dollars every minute... This guy is about the same, right?
"Miss Lu has already paid three months' salary in advance and said that my mission will start today, so I took the liberty of coming to visit early in the morning to see what kind of person I will serve, so that I can integrate into the work in advance." The butler seemed to see through Lu Mingfei's poor dog mentality and easily resolved the embarrassment, "You can call me by my nickname, Lu Yu."
I don't know who gave this girl the nickname, but the name "heron" is absolutely the essence of the name. That kind of bird is famous for its long and slender legs, just like this long-legged girl who is called "heron", with legs all below her neck.
"I understand. The person you need to take care of is there." Lu Mingfei nodded and made way, quietly pointing at Eri who was still sleeping on the bed. From this angle, they could all see Eri's sleeping face, which really looked like a finely carved jade doll.
"She looks like just an ordinary girl," Heron commented.
"No, no, no... don't just focus on appearances." Lu Mingfei quickly shook her head, thinking to herself, "Young lady, please don't underestimate her. Her situation is a bit special. She has basically never been exposed to the outside world, and she doesn't plan to go out. She lacks basic self-care ability, so the requirements are very simple. Just take care of her daily life and diet, and don't let her leave the hotel. Other than that, it's best not to contact her, especially don't make her angry! Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious..."
Lu Mingfei didn't dare to say the word death. If she really told this egret that this was actually a life-threatening job, she didn't know if the egret would abandon his high salary and run away.
"Isn't it the one with Zhiming Zhenbai?" Lu Shi pulled out a pair of sunglasses from her pocket and put them on. She instantly looked domineering, as if the Queen of Hearts had arrived. "Just leave it to me. I've taken care of girls who couldn't even peel eggs, let alone a Zhiming Zhenbai?"
Seeing that Lu Xi was so confident, Lu Mingfei quickly nodded and flattered him: "Yes, yes, the one with the childhood name Mashiro! I didn't expect you to read light novels too!"
Shiro Shiraha is a character in a popular light novel. When Lu Mingfei went to Akihabara yesterday, she bought two of the latest volumes. This girl is even worse than Eri. Although she is a top painting genius, she can't even take a bath by herself. I have to say that the description of heron is very interesting. If she is confident that she can handle Shiro Shiraha, then it is no problem for her to handle Eri.
"Japanese people all watch the 2D world." Lu said lightly.
With such talents around, Lu Mingfei is of course 100% assured. The little devil's service is very good. Not only does she choose good talents, but most importantly, she knows that her sister is reluctant to spend money to help. What a caring sister!
Time waits for no one, Lu Mingfei hurried back to the Peninsula Hotel. Before leaving, she left a note for Eri, telling her that this person would help take care of her for a short time. Lu Mingfei's Japanese is limited to recognizing words and speaking some common phrases, and her writing level is not enough, so Lu Shi helped write the note.
