"Miss is back." Mother Hu took the backpack from Lu Yuxi.
"Well, where's my father? " Lu Yuxi asked as she changed her shoes at the entrance. "The master is upstairs in the study," replied Mother Hu.
"Okay, got it," said Lu Yuxi as she made her way to the stairs.
When she came to the study and was about to knock on the door, a voice interrupted her.
"Chairman, our shopping mall and jewelry are losing a lot of money this month. Many outdated goods can't be sold, and fashionable goods can't be supplied."
After hearing Secretary Liu's words, Lu Zhengming looked at the densely packed documents in front of him and frowned.
He growled, "How could this happen? Didn't I tell you to find a designer? How did you do things? Are you complaining that the salary is too high?"
"We've already hired someone, but look." Secretary Liu took out another document from his bag.
He placed it on the table. "Chairman, it's Lin Ye's breach fee and breach contract. He said that our Lu group couldn't afford the price he wanted, and in the end, he was poached by the Li Group."
Hearing this, Lu Zhengming retorted, "Outrageous! Is there no one else? Do we have to invite a candidate personally?"
Secretary Liu boldly explained, "Lin industry is a dark horse that has recently emerged in the fashion industry and won many awards. Many rich ladies and young ladies love his works."
Lu Zhengming fell into deep thought after hearing this.
Knock, knock.
It was from Lu Yuxi.
Lu Zhengming said, "Please come in."
"Dad, I have an idea." Lu Yuxi's words gave Lu Zhengming and secretary Liu a pleasant surprise.
Lu Yuxi continued, "Dad, it's Saturday tomorrow anyway. Can you let me do my best?"
Lu Zhengming saw the determination in his daughter's eyes; he had no choice but to agree.
Lu Yuxi ran over and hugged Lu Zhengming. "I knew dad was the best."
The moment she hugged Lu Zhengming, Lu Yuxi was excited.
'Dad, it was really dad, my warm father. How long had it been since my last life? How long had it been since I saw him? It was as if nothing had changed.'
In order not to let Lu Zhengming and secretary Liu suspect anything, she went back to being calm.
Yet deep inside, she was extremely excited. "Father, you have to let your people listen to me."
Lu Zhengming thought that she was messing around, and then he agreed, "All right. I understand. Xiao Liu, you have to listen to miss's orders tomorrow. You are at her disposal."
Secretary Liu glanced at Lu Zhengming and said doubtfully, "Yes, I understand."
Even though he agreed, the secretary could not believe that the chairman let the little miss interfere.
As she had not seen her father for a long time, Lu Yuxi and Lu Zhengming chatted for a while before they parted ways.
After taking a warm shower, Lu Yuxi lay on the bed. Recalling what happened today made her feel incredulous. Everything seemed like a dream.
Her right hand went up to touch her right cheek. There was no scar. To check if she truly was not in the middle of a beautiful dream, Lu Yuxi pinched her thigh.
"Ouch, it hurts."
She felt pain. Her flesh hurt...but why did she have to use too much force? Ouch.
'It seems that the nightmare was over, and since God gave me another chance, I will use it well.'
'Lu Maihe, no, it should be Wang Maihe and Lin Yiwen. I will make you pay the price.'
Lu Yuxi's eyes lit up with an idea.
She got up from the soft bed and walked to her desk. She started to draw a picture. Lu Yuxi devised her first plan.
Early the next morning, Lu Yuxi washed up and skipped breakfast in excitement. Meanwhile, the secretary went to the market to do some research.
The Jewelry Store under the Lu Corporation was located on the most prosperous street in City A.
It was the so-called Golden Zone. 'How could it not sell well?' wondered Lu Yuxi as she scratched her head in confusion.
Her eyes traveled across the street, and she saw the phenomenon. The jewelry store in front of their shop had a massive flow of people.
The comparison of the shop's facade and the number of customers between the two shops was quite drastic.
Lu Yuxi looked at the competition jewelry store and asked, "Secretary Liu, what's going on?"
Secretary Liu looked at Lu Yuxi's serious look and replied, "It's like this. The Lu Corporation and the Li Corporation have always been at odds with each other, although the Li Corporation had always been high-profile. This time, after they dug out the forestry industry, they opened a jewelry store across from the Lu Corporation and applied the same grandiose image on the store.
Lu Yuxi frowned as she walked into their jewelry shop. The interior decoration was rather high-end, and there was also a lounge dedicated to receiving distinguished guests. The lighting was a bit dim yet it still gave a posh ambiance.
Everyone who came here to buy the jewelry was able to relax while making their decision.
Lu Yuxi then walked over to the counter and looked at the quality of their stocks. She wanted to take a closer look but was rejected by the staff.
"We can't take out the jewelry without confirmation of purchase. Please just look at it from behind the glass," said the sales lady said with an unpleasant attitude.
The saleslady was obviously sizing up Lu Yuxi.
"Even if you can take it out to look at it, you can't afford it, right? So, head on elsewhere to play and stop bothering me."
Lu Yuxi followed her gaze and lowered her head to look at herself. It turned out that she had put on a t-shirt and sweatpants in a rush this morning. Still, no one should be denied excellent service based on appearances.
Lu Yuxi walked to another counter and was welcomed more warmly by another saleslady.
"Hello, may I help you?"
Lu Yuxi was very satisfied with this girl, who seemed to be only her age. Such an attitude was what the Lu Corporation needed.
At this moment, the previous sales lady interjected, "Hey, what kind of person entertains this kind of customer?" She asked that while waving her hand in Lu Yuxi's direction.
Xiao Mei, who was smiling moments ago, lowered her head in embarrassment.
She said to Xiao Mei, "Help me call the person-in-charge here. I have something to say."
Xiao Mei nervously grabbed Lu Yuxi's hand. "Did I do something wrong? I can change. Please don't tell the manager. I can't lose this job!"
\Lu Yuxi smiled and patted her hand to reassure her. "It's not that you didn't do a good job, but I have something to tell the person-in-charge. Go and call him."
Behind her, Secretary Liu, who was recording the investigation, was so shocked his jaw almost dropped. Did he misjudge her? When did the unruly and willful Miss Lu become so approachable?
Not long after, Xiao Mei brought the person in charge, Manager Zhang.
Manager Zhang was a lady in her thirties. She had short hair and was dressed in professional attire, looking very refined.
Zhang Yuting was very puzzled at first, but when she saw Secretary Liu standing behind this woman asking for the manager, she somewhat understood the situation.
It seemed that this 18- or 19-year-old girl in front of her should be the chairman's only precious daughter.
Secretary Liu and Manager Zhang exchanged a few pleasantries and proceeded to talk business, completely forgetting about Lu Yuxi.
Lu Yuxi rolled her eyes. Did these two people think she was invisible?
She rolled her eyes some more, wishing they saw her expressions.
Two minutes passed, and Lu Yuxi was convinced they considered her non-existent.
They really thought she was dead.
"Hey, there's someone here," Lu Yuxi said helplessly.
Finally acknowledging her presence, Manager Zhang said, "Miss Lu, you wish to see the jewelry, am I right? I'll get someone to attend to you now."
Having been ignored and now misunderstood, Lu Yuxi exploded, "Secretary Liu, my dad wants you to listen to me, but you're treating me like I'm invisible."
Secretary Liu scratched his head awkwardly. He thought that Miss Lu had become more approachable to the people. 'I guess there was more work that needed to be done.'
Secretary Liu quickly said, "Miss, what are your orders?"
Lu Yuxi thought for a moment.
Cough, cough.
"First of all, we don't need an employee who looks down on others. Replace the salesperson who received me immediately."
Xiao Mei's face turned pale when she heard the statement.
'So she was the daughter of the chairman. Wasn't she the one who received her? It couldn't be,' thought Xiao Mei anxiously.
Lu Yuxi watched as Manager Zhang started walking towards Xiao Mei.
She hurriedly explained, "Manager Zhang, you're mistaken. It's not her. Her attitude is excellent, and she should be rewarded. What I said refers to the lady at the door."
When Wang Li heard that her job was hanging by a thread, she panicked.
