Chapter 468 Another day without being able to rely on my best friend.
Zhao Yizhi was initially considering whether to urge Lu Boxi to fight for the inheritance rights, since Lu Boyi was completely ignoring her. She thought that there might be a chance of success.
But after listening to Lu Boxi's words, she was shocked to realize that this person didn't like business at all.
This realization was like a thorn stuck in her heart, making Zhao Yizhi feel even worse.
A bright future was right in front of him, such a big company, how could he be willing to give it up so easily?
Besides, if he doesn't become the heir, given his parents' traditional ways, he probably won't get much of the inheritance.
After all, their family practices polygamy, the core purpose of which is to consolidate resources and never allow the family property to be dispersed.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yizhi completely lost all hope for Lu Boxi.
She had a great time in the capital, and since she still had work to do, she decided to take her leave.
We still need to start with Lu Boyi.
Zhao Yizhi left the capital.
As soon as Lu Boxi, who was always following Zhao Yizhi, heard that she was leaving, he immediately got up as well.
Shen Li didn't care whether they left or not—she was already uncomfortable with strangers in her house.
Even after the children get married in the future, they should live separately and only come back to get together during holidays.
The children have their own lives, but given the current situation, it's really hard to say whether Zhao Yizhi and Lu Boxi will be able to get married.
Zhao Yizhi is too ambitious.
With nothing to do in the capital, Shen Li spent his days playing mahjong and shopping at the supermarket with his elders, living a comfortable life.
With many people at home, it was lively. Lu Zhi and Lu Boyan also stayed in the capital to keep their elders company, so it wasn't lonely at all.
On the other side, Shenzhen.
Lu Boyi spent two days tidying up at home, going through all the company information his father, Lu Cheng, had given him, before preparing to report to the company.
Lu Cheng arranged for him to join the marketing department, saying that this was the department where he could quickly become familiar with the company's business scope, and Lu Boyi naturally had no objections.
He ran into Aunt Lan downstairs when he went out early in the morning.
Lan greeted him with a smile, "Bo Yi, you've moved in?"
Lu Boyi nodded and replied, "Yes, we just moved in."
"He's getting more and more handsome." Lan Wei looked at him, her eyes full of envy.
Her child is only ten years old, and every time she sees Lu Boyi and his brothers, she can't help but sigh at how lucky Shen Li is.
— She looks so young, yet her child is already so big, unlike her, whose child is still in elementary school.
Lu Boyi was a little embarrassed.
His mother's close friends loved to tease them since they were little, and even though he was a man of few words, they would always pester him with jokes.
However, among the aunts, the one they doted on the most was the third son, Lu Boxi, because that boy was clever and had a sweet tongue.
Not knowing what to say next, Lu Boyi changed the subject: "Aunt Lan, aren't you driving today?"
"I'm just taking care of something at the entrance, I'm not working today," Lan Wei replied, then couldn't help but ask, "You just graduated and you're already in such a hurry to start working?"
"Yes, my father hopes I can become familiar with company affairs as soon as possible." Lu Boyi nodded.
Lan Wei understood.
Lu Cheng's greatest wish all these years has been for his sons to become independent so that he can accompany Shen Li on his travels and enjoy a carefree life.
Her gaze swept across the entrance to the residential complex, and she asked again, "Why didn't you prepare a car?" Logically speaking, how could the children of the Lu family not have a car to get to work?
"I guess Father forgot." Lu Boyi smiled nonchalantly.
"Taking a taxi to the company is the same." His unreliable father, except for remembering everything about his mother, always selectively forgot about other people.
"Alright, go to work then, I won't keep you any longer." Lan Wei waved her hand.
The two parted ways at the entrance of the residential area, unaware that Ming Nianxi and Xie Shuyao were standing under the shade of a tree not far away.
Ming Nianxi watched Lu Boyi's retreating figure and pouted, "The world is going to the dogs! He's so good at pleasing the older women; he always seems to be surrounded by different people."
Xie Shuyao stared at Lu Boyi's profile and couldn't help but exclaim, "He's really handsome! Let's work hard to earn money so we can find someone like him in the future."
"Even if someone is good-looking, they can't be fickle!" Ming Nianxi said disdainfully.
Xie Shuyao sighed: "It's so frustrating that I can't get anything done, I can't even talk to anyone, and I can't have a baby. That feeling of helplessness is so agonizing."
"I wouldn't even look at those gigolos who're kept by someone else." Ming Nianxi snorted. "I prefer highly educated men."
Xie Shuyao turned to stare at her, her eyes shining: "Xixi, you're so pretty, why don't you go and date someone? Let me have a good look too."
Ming Nianxi chuckled lightly: "By the time I finalize the deal, it'll be too late. Why don't you go yourself? Trust me, your mature and sophisticated style is exactly what younger guys love."
Xie Shuyao lamented, "Another day where I can't rely on my best friend."
As the two were talking, they saw Lu Boyi flag down a taxi and get in.
They don't work for the same company, but they live close by and usually take the company shuttle bus to work.
In 2005, traffic in Shenzhen was not too congested, and commuting was relatively smooth.
After arriving at the company, Ming Nianxi went straight to her cubicle and sat down.
She had been interning for several days and had barely settled in when the department head walked over with a young man.
Surprised!
How could it be him?
We met again?
The minister began by saying, "Everyone, please put down your work for a moment. Let me introduce you to our new intern."
All eyes turned to Lu Boyi, and someone couldn't help but exclaim, "What good luck has our department had lately? We just got a beautiful young woman, and now we have a top-tier handsome guy!"
The male colleague next to him scoffed, "You're just a hopeless romantic. Look at her clothes, would she even be interested in a working girl like you?"
"Whether he likes me or not is not important. Seeing handsome guys at work every day makes me feel a bit better. It's a great cure!" the female colleague retorted, unconvinced.
My male colleague rolled his eyes: "You're such a fangirl."
"You're just jealous!"
After the minister and others quieted down, he continued, "This man is Lu Yi. He will be your colleague from now on. Please take good care of him."
A round of applause erupted.
The minister then looked at his male colleague to the side and said, "Qin Hao, Lu Yi will be interning with you."
Qin Hao looked Lu Yi up and down, then reluctantly replied, "Alright."
The minister pointed to an empty seat and asked Lu Yi to sit down.
As soon as he sat down, Lu Boyi caught a glimpse of Ming Nianxi rolling her eyes at him from across the table.
He didn't see the whole process clearly and thought the other person had an eye problem. He muttered to himself: Isn't Licheng Group supposed to be known for its rigorous selection process? How come they've even hired someone with poor eyesight?
However, he didn't take this little incident to heart.
On his first day at work, Lu Boyi was exceptionally diligent, but the tasks assigned to him by his team leader, Qin Hao, consisted of either printing documents or delivering them to various departments.
Even so, he had no complaints and still completed the task diligently.
Ming Nianxi saw all of this, but felt very uncomfortable—she also did these errand-running jobs every day.
Lu Boyi's team leader is male, while Ming Nianxi's team leader is female.
The team leaders were somewhat resistant to the two because of their striking appearance.
If the team leader were of the opposite sex, the treatment would probably be drastically different. After all, the principle of same-sex repulsion and opposite-sex attraction applies everywhere.
