Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Su Yan, Who Doesn’t Like to Talk Much

"Professor, isn’t this courtyard absolutely gorgeous?"

"Yes, the overall design style seems to have had no major changes, keeping a very high level of authenticity."

"After looking around, domestic architecture really takes the cake."

"If I’m not mistaken, this wooden structure... is it all agarwood?"

"This is just outrageous! No wonder there was such a delicate fragrance as soon as we walked in."

"I need to breathe in more, each breath is money."

"I read online that this courtyard has a total price of 1.2 billion, poverty really limits my imagination."

Listening to these students’ discussions, Lu Xiao’s vanity was immensely satisfied.

You see, the professionals are really in a league of their own, their praise has a unique angle.

"Yeah, take deep breaths, don’t be shy around me." Lu Xiao also timely got up from the pond’s edge and spoke to the college students.

The students all looked baffled. Who is this guy?

"This is Mr. Lu, the owner of the courtyard, he bought this place just yesterday." Liu Mingshu introduced him as well.

The eyes of the five college students immediately began to shine.

1.2 billion! This guy is definitely a top-tier mogul.

And the key point is, he’s so young, feels like he’s their age.

"Mr. Lu, I have something to say, I’m not sure if I should say it." At this moment, one of the boys stood up, looking serious.

Lu Xiao blinked his eyes, what’s the matter, your expression, is there something wrong with me?

"Go ahead."

"Mr. Lu, I think you might still need a butler, here’s my resume, please have a look." As he spoke, the boy swiftly pulled out a sheet of A4 paper and handed it to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao was a bit stunned, I thought you were here for a visit, why do I suddenly feel like I’m at a job fair?

"Do you usually carry your resume with you when you go out?" Lu Xiao couldn’t help but ask.

The boy nodded: "Opportunities are everywhere, like right now."

Hearing this, Lu Xiao didn’t even know how to argue back, this was the truth indeed.

"But you studied landscape design, how is being a butler a good fit?"

"This courtyard comes with its own gardens, representing a typical Northern garden. Since it’s a garden, isn’t it reasonable for someone studying gardens to manage it?"

Lu Xiao mentally exclaimed, damn, the logic is strong with this guy.

Seeing Lu Xiao appearing to seriously consider the feasibility, the other students couldn’t hold back anymore.

"Mr. Lu, I think you also need someone to sweep the floors, I studied landscape design, sweeping gardens is also reasonable."

"Mr. Lu definitely needs maids, I studied landscape design so working as a maid in the gardens, totally fits my expertise."

Lu Xiao was a bit overwhelmed, no wonder they are 21st-century graduate students, the eagerness to land a job is incredibly strong.

"That’s enough from you all, don’t make jokes at Mr. Lu’s expense." Liu Mingshu also saw Lu Xiao’s distress and stepped in to defuse the situation.

The group of students had a month left until graduation, and they had already signed contracts with companies.

Approaching Lu Xiao for a job was purely them being cheeky.

"However, you could consider her," Liu Mingshu pointed out the smallest girl among the five students.

Throughout, this girl hadn’t spoken. While the others were "job hunting," she hadn’t participated and had just stood there quietly.

Lu Xiao was also somewhat surprised, what special quality did this girl have to get Liu Mingshu’s personal recommendation?

"Her name is Su Yan, her professional ability is very strong, especially in maintenance, not inferior to me."

"It’s just that she doesn’t talk much, which is why she hasn’t signed with any company yet."

"I sometimes need to travel to schools or go on trips for lectures. Su Yan could also take good care of the courtyard," Liu Mingshu added a few words.

Lu Xiao nodded, he could see that Liu Mingshu liked Su Yan, maybe because Su Yan didn’t talk much, after all, Liu Mingshu liked tranquility.

As for the other students, their looks were somewhat peculiar.

Does Su Yan not talk much? She doesn’t talk at all!

One thing was certain though, Su Yan could talk, she just chose not to.

During her three years as a graduate student, Su Yan had said no more than five sentences.

Three years and only five sentences, how preposterous!

Even more preposterous was the job fair at the school; when Su Yan went for an interview, she didn’t say a single word, just stared at the interviewer.

This led almost all companies to blacklist Su Yan; they’d skip her as soon as they saw her name.

"Then let’s go with what Aunt Liu says."

"By the way, Su Yan, right? Would you like that?" Lu Xiao still asked Su Yan.

If the girl herself didn’t want it, then everything would be in vain.

Su Yan looked up, gazing directly at Lu Xiao, watching him without speaking or blinking.

Lu Xiao: ???

"She’s willing," Liu Mingshu said.

Lu Xiao was even more puzzled inside, Aunt Liu, how could you tell? She hasn’t said a word.

Of course, Lu Xiao didn’t think too much about it; with such a large yard, one more person added a bit more vitality.

It was indeed a bit lonely with just him and Liu Mingshu in such a large yard.

Chen Fei and Chen Han weren’t coming temporarily.

He had called last night; Chen Fei said she was staying in Hai City to handle the transformation of the White Clothes Pavilion.

As for Chen Han, that kid was just Chen Fei’s tag-along, so if Chen Fei wasn’t coming, neither was he.

"Then you guys keep looking," Lu Xiao said before sitting back down by the pond.

A few minutes later, Liu Mingshu led several people further inside, but Lu Xiao heard rustling noises behind him and turned to see Su Yan had brought a small stool and sat next to him.

Su Yan still didn’t speak, just stared straight at the goldfish in the pond.

Seeing Su Yan’s serious manner, Lu Xiao also smiled and held back what he was about to say.

The two of them watched the fish in silence until Liu Mingshu sent the other four students out the door.

As soon as Liu Mingshu came back, she saw Su Yan stand up from the stool, then walk over to stand next to Lu Xiao.

"Okay." After saying this, Su Yan walked back to Liu Mingshu’s side with her hands behind her back.

"Aunt Liu, can you translate for me? What’s good about that?" Lu Xiao said, bewildered. We watched fish together for an hour, and after that, you come over and say ’okay’ to me, I’d be confused if I weren’t.

Liu Mingshu smiled, "Didn’t you just ask Su Yan whether she was willing to tend the yard? She said okay."

Lu Xiao almost had brain shrinkage.

Goodness, you took an hour to respond.

Reaction time measured by the hour? That’s a first for me, indeed.

"Su Yan also said you’re a good person," Liu Mingshu added.

Lu Xiao’s facial muscles started to twitch, alright, there was a second layer to the meaning.

"She also said she’s willing to watch fish with you in the future," Liu Mingshu added another sentence.

Great! A third layer to the meaning!

Today, Lu Xiao could claim to have truly opened his eyes; a single "okay" and you unwrapped three layers of meaning.

"Impressive!" Lu Xiao gave a thumbs up.

"I also have three layers of meaning; you all guess. Guess well, guess carefully, guess seriously," Lu Xiao said as he walked away and soon disappeared.

Su Yan looked up at Liu Mingshu, and a bright smile suddenly bloomed on her usually calm face.

"Master Liu, he’s not bad, a good person and kind-hearted."

Hearing Su Yan’s words, Liu Mingshu was somewhat surprised; it was the first time she had heard Su Yan praise someone like this.

"I want to bring him back to the clan," Su Yan added.

Liu Mingshu’s brow furrowed immediately, her expression turning sharp: "No!"

"What if he is willing?" Su Yan continued.

"Outsiders entering the Goo Clan have a one in ten survival rate; since you think he’s good, don’t harm him," Liu Mingshu said sternly, looking at Su Yan.

Su Yan didn’t speak further, just gently pursed her lips as she watched the direction Lu Xiao had left in.
