Chapter 1121
Under Father Yu’s warning gaze, Yu Leyou nodded and said, “I remember. We even met on the Foxth day of the new year.”
Cai Lele’s face turned even redder.
The parents on both sides looked at their husbands and wives and saw through Cai Lele’s thoughts.
Mother Yu said directly. “If we adults chat here, you children will probably feel bored, Why don’t you accompany your Brother Xiaoyou upstairs to play?”
Cai Lele looked at Yu Leyou happily,
“Brother Xiao You, do you want to go upstairs? There’s a cafe upstairs.”
Yu Leyou hesitated for a moment before nodding.
In the past, Yu Leyou didn’t think much of the girls’ goodwill. In fact, he felt a little disgusted.
Just like how fragrant she smelled, he hated her closeness.
However, after meeting Melody Fox, the hedgehog-like woman with spikes all over her body, Yu Leyou suddenly felt that this feeling of being held in his hands was not bad.
After the two of them went upstairs, Father Yu asked about what had just happened.
“Old Cai, the cocktail party you mentioned just now, is it a summer cocktail party organized by the Tianjin North Chamber of Commerce?”
“That’s right. Have you received the invitation too? We’ll go together. Coincidentally, Lele still lacks a male companion. I’ll be at ease if you hand it to Xiaoyou.”
Mother Cai was obviously very satisfied with Yu Leyou.

Yu Leyou had a very good reputation. He was also the gold medal director of the Cardiology Department, at Insterimond First Hospital. He had a bright future ahead of him.
Coupled with the fact that the two families knew each other well if Cai Lele married over in the future, she would not have to face any bad relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Madam Cai could not help but have an idea. She smiled and said, “That’s right. If Little You isn’t afraid of trouble, you can come over and pick Lele up.”
However, Father Yu’s face revealed an awkward expression.
He laughed dryly and said, “We haven’t received an invitation yet.”
Cai Qishui quickly realized what was going on.
The Yu family was already on the verge of bankruptcy and was no longer the Yu family of the past. It was not strange that the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce did not send an invitation to the Yu family.
Cai Qishui thought of his daughter and said, “I happen to have an additional invitation letter. Why don’t you let Little You accompany Lele? Perhaps we can meet our partner.”
“Partners? Which partners?”
“It’s the company Ximber Tech that’s working with us on the new intelligent thermometer this time. They provided the chips inside, and we only took a share of the profits from them. I heard that their person-in-charge has also been invited by the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce, so he should be here. If we can build a long-term
relationship with them, it will be beneficial to our line of work.”
“I see. Then I’ll definitely get Little You to come over.”
Cai Qishui nodded and instructed his wife, “Go and give the extra invitation to Xiaoyou. Don’t forget it later.”
“Alright.” Madam Cai stood up and said, “Excuse me for a moment.” Then, she went upstairs.
Seeing Mother Cai leave, Father Yu hesitated for a moment before telling her why he was here today.
“Old Cai, I’m really sorry. I actually came here today to ask you for a favor.”
Cai Qishui waved his hand. “Brothers, why are you asking me for help? If you hadn’t brought me into the industry in the past, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Tell me! What’s the matter?”
Father Yu smiled gratefully and said, “It’s like this. You know our company’s situation very well. I need to invest a total of 60 million dollars yuan in this project, but after I pooled the cash, I realized that I was still short of 6 million dollars yuan. I was wondering if you could lend me 6 million dollars yuan first?”
Cai Qishui looked troubled.
“Old Yu, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I really don’t have any extra cash on hand. I just bought this villa not long ago, and the investment for this project is so big… However, I can lend you 2 million dollars. As for the remaining 4 million dollars, I’m afraid you’ll have to figure it out yourself.”
Although Father Yu was disappointed, he was already very satisfied to have 2 million dollars.
He said gratefully, “Then I’ll thank you! I’ll see if there’s any other way to make up for the remaining 4 million dollars.”
Cai Qishui suddenly slapped his thigh and said, “Oh right, I have a better idea!”
Father Yu quickly asked, “What way?”
“Won’t the person-in-charge of Ximber Tech attend the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce’s Summer Gala tomorrow? Perhaps I can take the opportunity to ask if I can lower the price of the chip. This way, even if it’s just a little cheaper, our cost will be lowered. You don’t have to worry about 6 million dollars anymore.”
When Father Yu heard this, he wished he could go to the cocktail party himself.
After all, Yu Leyou was not in the business world, so he was not proficient in speaking and doing things.
However, the Cai Family had specifically asked Yu Leyou to go with them, so it was not appropriate for him to ask.
Hence, Father Yu could only say, “Then I’ll leave everything to you! If you need Xiaoyou’s help, just ask. He can carry your bag for you.”
“What are you talking about? Xiao You is a famous doctor. How can I let him carry my bag? He just has to protect Lele well and not let this girl mess around. This girl has been spoiled by me. I’m quite worried that she will bump into someone at the cocktail party.”
“Alright, when we get back later, I’ll remind Xiaoyou.”
Cai Qishui nodded and said, “But you should find another way to gather money first. There are a lot of people who want to work with Ximber Tech. I’m not sure if I can succeed. If it doesn’t work, you can come to me to get 2 million dollars.”
“Alright, I understand. I’ll try my best to think of a way. If your side doesn’t work, I’ll have a backup plan.”
“There you go.”
Cai Qishui smiled and shifted the topic back to Yu Leyou.
“A while ago, I heard that Xiaoyou’s department has a remarkable person living there?”
“Huh? Who?”
“Mr. Ou!”
Father Yu’s eyes widened.
“Mr. Ou? You mean… Ou Jing’s Orek?”
‘That’s right! Didn’t he mention it to you?’
Father Yu shook his head. “No, just like how he doesn’t ask about my company’s matters, I don’t really talk to him about the hospital.”
“Then it’s your fault as a father. For example, I’ll pay attention to even the slightest thing about Lele.”
“Yes, I was negligent.”
“However, Little You, can you take the opportunity to let us meet Mr. Ou? After all, Mr. Ou is being treated in the department he’s in charge of. Perhaps Mr. Ou is very grateful to him. If our project can reach the market in Europe, what’s there to worry about in the future? Moreover, even if we can’t work with Ou Jing, it’s always a good thing to be on good terms with Mr. Ou.”
“That’s true.” Father Yu nodded and said, “Then I’ll go back and ask him if he can arrange room Fox for us to meet Mr. Ou. However, I think it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
“That’s great! Come, drink coffee!” Cai Qishui raised coffee cups and toasted the Yu couple enthusiastically.
The two of them chatted for a while before Yu Leyou and the rest went downstairs.
